Austria Admits Loss Of
San Gabrielle Trench

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The battle around
Monte San Gabrielle, which has been
going on almost without cessation for
the last three days, developed to-day
70 combats 81 close range between the
opposing armies the AustrIans attack
ing time and again IN en- EFFORT to
wrest from the enemy positions on the
western slope. but with no success. The
Austrians still cling 20 the summit OF
the mountain stronghold that guards
the entrance TO the Chiapovano Valley,
but Cadornas troops have extended
their lines so that the enemy is now al
most isolated on the peak.
To the south Of this sector, east OF
Gorizia. the Italians have improved
their positions somewhat. while on the
Cerso Plateau all attempts Of the Aus
TRANS to recover lost ground mas been
met with a crushing fire from the ltal-
ian batteries
Italian aviatcrs continue their ef-
fective work against the enemy's lines:
Wednesday night the Austrian naval
base a. Cattaro. N Southern Dalmata,
was attacked and several submarines
and torpedo boats lying IN the bay
were hit with what the Rome official
statement says were "vlsibly etlcaclous
results"
An official report from the Austrian
War Office dealing with operations last
Tuesday admits the loss Of trench
section on Monte San Gabrielle, dcclar-
ing. however, that the Italians paid
heavily for their success.

Coast Trade Open
To Foreign Ships
Senate Passes Bill Giving
Board Control Of Neu-
trail Charters
tstar Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The dill au-
thorizing the entry of vessels OF for
eign registry into the coastwise trade
was passed by the Senate to-day with
out debate and in the identical form in
which the measure passed the House.
1t will now 20 10 the President for his
signature. It's provisions do not apply
TO Alaskan waters.
This measure has been earnestly re-
quested of Congress by the shipping
Board. The board now has power 70
control the charters of neutral vessels,
and the supposition is that some way
will be found TO divert certain SHIPS
from the overseas trade TO Atlantic
coast routes.
The bill was mildly opposed by the
Atlantic coastwise shipping interests
on the ground that during the war the
law has been repeatedly circumvented
by the use of foreign vessels from the
Gulf to northern ports and that the
demands of the law have been satisfied
in each case by remission OF the
penalty for such invasion. This prac-
tice. 1t was contended, answered all
immediate purposes and was preferable
TO change in the law which would
constitute a precedent for conditions
against which the coastwise trade has
been safeguarded for hundred years.
The House report, which was adopted
also by the Senate, explicitly states,
however. that "there is no purpose IN
the proposed legislation to break down
our coastwise laws or depart from a
policy that has been constantly fol-
lowed from the foundation Of the gov
eminent. AMI alr fears expressed TO
that effect are without foundation
Notwith standing this assurance, It IS
10 be borne in mind that long before
the European war opened efforts were
made in Congress by members of both
branches whose states do not touch the
sea TO break into the coastwIse laws, to
insure cheaper freight rates for West
ern commodities moving through the
Panama Canal Since the war British
and American ships have enjoyed re-
ciprocal advantages in the lake ports
10 the mutual advantage of Canada and
the United States.

King of Italy Visits
The Western Front
Monarch Goes to Alsace, Yer
dun and Region of
the Aisne

Especial cable % TIE Frofesso ItAlo- bnenohhoI
ROME, Oct. 3.-The censorship has
to-day for the first time allowed me 10
communicate to you a few particulars
in regard to the visit 70 France Of His
Majesty King Victor Emmanuel.
The King returned to Italy last Sat
urday, after visiting the three most
important points on the French front
Alsace. Verdun and the region of the
Aisne.
The Kings visit TO Alsace is Of great
political significance. It means that
Italy considers the restitution Of Al
sace-Lorraine to France an essential
question for the conclusion of peace,
as is also the restitution of the Tren-
tine and Trieste 10 Italy.
During his visit the King reviewed
the Alsatians who had taken part IN the
Franco-Prussian War of 1S70-71. The
veterans were proud and happy at the
sight Of his majesty.
AS the royal automobile was passing
the inhabitants of the Alsstian VII
lagos greeted the King with cheers,
give TItale, Vve la France!"
From Alsace the King went to Yer
dun. the city which the blood and he
roisn of hundreds of thousands OF
French soldiers have rendered sacred
for their fatherland.
In Verdun the King reviewed the
brave Sd Regiment of Zouaves. Of
which his majesty, like his grandfather,
Victor Emmanuel IL, is honorary cor
poral.
Finally. the King visited the terri
tory north of Noyon, which was evacu-
ated by the Germans last spring, after
they had laid it waste. There the King
had proof Of the German barbarity and
of the inhumanity Of the Kaiser's sol
Giers.
Before leaving the front the King
decorated a number of French officers
who had distinguished themselves IN
the war. The simple and solemn cere-
monv took place in a little town of the
Aisne district. place where six months
ago a German band gave Sunday con-
cpTtg.

men in the coming tower. The sea
planes swooped down. One drorred a
bomb 500 feet, which burst on the star
board side of the submarine. halfway
between the coming tower and the
stern The submarine slowly heeled
over 10 port. the bow arose and the craft
began TO sink.
The other seaplane then dropped a
bomb which burst in front Of the con
ming tower. and as the submarine sank
another bomb was dropped. The sea
planes circled the spot for quarter
hour in search Of survivors. but none
appeared.
Plane Fights Destroyers
On another occasion a seaplane while
on air patrol overheard hostile wire
less signal, and soon after sighted a
large submarine lying on the surface n
mile ahead. Flying At eighty miles an
hour, the seaplane darted over the en-
envy, who fired round from his fore
most gun. The she'll burst fifty feet
ahead Of the seaplane. but the bomb
which the British flyer dropped ex-
ploded and tore a great hole in the sub
marine. As the enemy craft sank flames
spurted up from the water.
linen three more submarines were
sighted, reinforced by three hostile de-
stroyers and two seaplanes. All opened
fire on the British seaplane. which
turned and few over the spot where
the stricken submarine disappeared. A
second bomb was now dropped and its
explosion brought up a quantity of
wreckage. His supply of bombs being
exhausted the British aviator returned
to his base. but first took a photograph
of the enemy destroyers and seaplanes.

California Labor
Stands Back of
La Toilette

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Oct. with
out discussion and without n dissenting
vote delegates to the California State
Federation OF Labor convention adopt
ed to-day a resolution indorsing United
States Senator La Toilette, asking for
him the right to express the views "of
an intelligent minority" and expressing
confidence in his integrity and loyalty
"as a true American citizen
The resolution, offered by Daniel +.
Tattanham, of the San Francisco Bar
bers' Union, reads as follows:
Whereas, recent articles In the press
note the condemnation and even the
intended impeachment Of U1ite1 States
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette, Of WIS
consin. in the United States, on ac-
count Of his minority stand on certain
issues of our present war; and,
Whereas, the great body Of the
American labor movement yields to
none in it's royalty and fealty to our
nation in this her hour of need; and
Whereas, the long years Of expe-
rience and deep friendship between
Senator La Toilette and organized
labor, in whose cause no truer friend
has labored, directs the California
State Federation of Labor in IS eigh-
teenth annual convention in regular
session assembled, in the City Of Sac
ramento, in speaking Il message OF
calmness and tolerance to all citizens
of our land, during this great war
crisis;
Therefore, be it resolved that we
ask for Robert VI. La Toilette the
greatest right of all democracy, right
to be heard. a right to express the
views of an intelligent minority, for
on this rock is founded all liberty.
Resolved, that we convey to Senator
La Toilette our confidence in his in
tegrity and loyalty as a true Am erican
even though he differ with the
great majority OF labor and our people
on some questions Of the war"

18th French Onset
At Verdun Beaten
Fierce Struggles for Hill 344
Continue-Germans Re-
pulsed on Aisne

LONDON, Oct 6.-The battle for
Hill No. 944, on the Verdun front, has
developed into one Of those bloody
struggles so frequent on that battle
field. The French troops to-day made
their twelfth attack in three days
against the German positions on the
western slope of the contested height.
according to the official statement
from Berlin, and met with another
costly setback. For four days neither
side has been able to move the other
from the strongly intrenched lines in
this sector.
The Germans failed in four surprise
attacks during the day, each time the
French catching them before they
reached their detectives and pouring
into their ranks a deluge Of shells that
halted them in their tracks Two Of
these attempts were made north Of the
Alsne. east Of Cerny and ChevreuX; an.
ether in the Champagne, and the fourth
in Upper Alsace, where a virtual stale
mate exists
Three successive raids by the Ger
mans in the neighborhood Of Lens
were repulsed by the British, with loss
es TO the enemy. Bad weather condi-
tions prevented air operations on any
extended scale.
