Over q front of some sixty miles from tho Brenta river in northern 1-aly to the vicinity of the Adriauc Sea the Ausuo-tIunC Carians are being violently attacked by ltaliaan Brl,- ish. French and American troops.

 II is met unlikely that many of the Austro- TIungarlans are doomed to cal ,ure or eNtermination by the al- lies.
 On the western front in France and Belgium there has been a marked dimiuuticn in the intensity of the in fantry attack
 Along the British line there have only been patrol encounters and reci- procial bombardmcnts. The French, however, are engaged in another at- tack on a frant of about seven and inc half miles between St. uenQtin-le- Petit and Herpy, in the general 1i- dectiCn of the enemy's communication lines, running eastward from the old St Quentin and I.aOn seetors an1 al

GERMANY ID HAVE SAME
 TREATMENT AS BULGARIA
With the Driving of the Huns Ou Of Belgium and France the Atroci ties That Have Been Committee Are Being Brought to Light By t1 Reports of People Who Were th Victims.

London. Oct 30-That the i'm mediate release of all British prIs- oners will be insisted upon by tho government as part of the armistice terms is confidently expected here. Sir George Cave, the home secretary announced in the house of commons yesterday that the same conditions imposed upon Bulgaria in this matter would De insisted upon in any truce With Germany or Austria and Gen eral AIlenby had been instructed to follow the same policy in dealing with the Turks.
 There is plenty of evidence that British prisoners have received worse treatment throughout the war than the others, except the Russians.
 Such d demand will be a very lm- portant factor and it is not likely that the other allies will show less regard for their nationals who are suffering in German camps Events since the German peace overtures were launched have not tended to instIl any spirit of conciliation, forgiveness CT leniency toward the enemy in British breasts.
 The sinking of the Leinster fol- lowed close on the German note. The evacuation of Belgian and French towns for years under German rule, has opened what has heretofore been largely a sealed book of rumors ana authentic stories from truthful peo- pie of German barbarities toward the Inhabitants have been flooding out,
 Finally yesterdays discssions in the house of commons of the treat ment Of British prisoners appeared to have been the last straw breaking the the back of British patience-pau- ence which the country generally seems now to think has been carried much too far The Germans nave only themselves to blame that these revelations came at time so un- fortunate for German interests.
 The topic was forced upon the house by strong public demand for light upon the circumstances of what Is termed German blackmail in refusing to ratify an agreement drawn up for an equitable exchange of prisoners unless tho british consented to go outside that subject ard give guaran- tees against the deportation of Ger mans from China
 Captain Craig, member of the house and himself an exchanged prisoner told with emotion of his eX- periences and the sights he had sean in the prison camps
 Sir George Cave, the home seere- tary. gave authentic details of whole sale deaths of British soldiers, kep ragged starving and verminous and compelle to work long hours in salt mines and under fire at the front, l contrary to the rules of The Hague conventions; beaten and tortured and shot for betty or no offenses.

Before making final order in tie matter ot requiring the election coml missionerss Of Montgomery and Gar land colunties to place the names of D. Fl Randolph for prosecuting at torney and James L. Graham for cir$ cult judge on the election ballots. Judge Wood yesterday heard the law on the situation as offered hy |. F. Sawyer, and that law positively prohibited the election boards from placing any name on the tickets that had not ben certified out by the sec- retary of state
 As Secretary of State Tom Terrell had arbitrarily refused to certify out the names ol the independent candi rates, it was held by Judge Wood tha the court here was without iurisdictiu to correct the situation, and that therA was nothing for him to do flEther in the premises
 Attorneys for the independent can didates are looking through the law in the hope that they may be able to find something that VIII justify them in making the secretary of state a party to further proceeding in the matter, and if that Is found nAe case will be renewed.
 Charles Gosiee, member of the io1 cal election board, stated to the courtA that in so far as he was concerned he was willing 10 follow any order the court made and hold mp the print-< ing of the ballots for the present though the time was getting sho5 Judge Wood told him that he cou go ahead with the printing of ballots without the names in so SIS he was concerned as there sel ed to be no authority for any ther action in the premises.
 There is one issue m conec with the tangle that has been discI ed freely and thai is the question: whether the legal actions of CircA Judge Wood could be contested afte his election. through the fact tflafX Terrell had arbitrarily refused te place the name of Graham on t1s5 ticket Some believe that the re- fusal of the secretary of state wou1a make the election illegal, and that the office of Judge Scott Wood could have question raised against 1t. Judge Wood was evidently very arx- ious that the names be placed on the ticket if there was any legal pro- cess by which it could be accompifsn- ed

 Judge Graham will also make al appeal to the voters to write bis nam on the ballot
 It was considered likely yesterda that an application for writ of cerS tiorori to the supreme court mfgl remedy the situation, if this couls be secured ill time to afford the rc lief and get the names of the inde nendents cn the tickets. The suS preme court, would. no doubt recos- nize the justice of the cause, but the election is to be held next Tuesday, and there is little time left for anv court proceedings to offer further-re- lief.

zona, then rated as an ocean grey
hound, that equaled her maximum
speed per hour.
Best remembered today of the
American clipper ships is the
Dreadnought. She was packet
ship, running on a regular sched-
ule with passengers between New
York and Liverpool. There is q
tradition that in 1859 she created a
record of 9 days II hours from
Sandy Hook to Queenstown, but
the story has been decided to be
mythical.
The Dreadnought made many
fast passages, however, in the total
of seventy to eighty credited to
her. On several occasions she
maintained a uniform speed of 81
miles an hour from shore to shore.
Her best eastward voyage was 13
days 8 hours from port to port,
and her average speed for Atlantic
voyages was higher, probably, than
that of any other sailing ship.
The record of clipper ship for
crossing the Atlantic belong, how
ever, to the Red Jacket of New
York, which crossed in 1854 from
Sandy Hook to the entrance of
the River Mersey in 13 days /
hour. The best passage in the op-
posite direction was made in 1860
oy the ship Andrew jackson, Is

81 WIFI has spirit that nothing daunts:
Once he gets his eye on the thing he wants
He rolls up his sleeves, and he pitches in
With splendid zeal that is bound to win.

In his heart he's sure that he will prevail
No mountain can halt him, however high;
There's no task so hard but he'll have try.

He just grins and mutters: This can't last long

II Can't" lacks in nerve he's too faint of heart
To pitch in like a man and do his part;
He's none of the spirit that fights and wins;
He admits he's beaten before he begins.
II Can't" sees as mountains what bolder eyes
Recognize as mole hills; ambition dies,
And leaves him complaining in helpless wrath,
When the first small obstacle blocks his path.
II Can't" has a notion that, out of spite,
He's being cheated of what's his right.
The men who succeed by hard work and
pluck,
He envies, and sneers at as Fools for luck!"

That his ife's the mess he has made of it;
The treasure that's sparkling beneath his eye,

American shipyards then pro-
duced vessels which made long
voyages at an average speed equal
to that of the steamships of their
time. The sailing records they
established were never equaled by
the ships of other nations.
These vessels were the direct
product of daring experiments by
Yankee builders, who were never
content to rest on their laurels,
which were many. Each year they
excelled their previous efforts,
turning out flyers that challenged
the attention of the maritime world.

news of it gave pleasure to every
American who heard of it.
The next year the ship Sover-
eign of the Seas from the yard of
the same builder, Donald Mckay
of East Boston-in the course of a
voyage from Honolulu to New
York excelled some of the daily
runs of the Flying Cloud.
In four days in the South Paci-
fic she logged 1,478 miles, an av-
erage of 37S miles a day, or 15k
miles an hour. In IL days, be-
tween March 10 and 21, she log
ged 1862 miles, a daily average of
$50 miles, an hourly average of
134 miles. At times she sailed at
a speed of 10 miles an hour, which
few freight-carrying steamers to-
day can attain. Her best days
run was 424 miles, and showed an
average speed of 173 miles an
hour for "a hours.
The Sovereign of the Seas also
had the distinction of having
beaten steamer on five continu-
Gus days of sailing, while on the
passage from New York to Liver
pool in 1853, and also of making
the unique run of seven days from
land to land, having sighted Cape
Race, Newfoundland, at 6 a. m.
June "a and Cape Clear, Ireland,
at 6 a. M. June 30.
Her best days run was 344 miles
on June %. In five days, June
25-30, the ship outsailed the
Cunard liner Canada, which was
making the eastward passage from
Boston to Liverpool, a total of 1926
miles. The best days run of the
Canada was 3O6 miles.
The greatest days run ever
made by a vessel under sail was
accomplished by another ship of
Donald McKay's build, the Light
ming, on her maiden voyage, from
Boston to Liverpool, in 1854.
On the first day of March, when
approaching and rounding the
north of Ireland, in a strong gale
from the south, the ship logged
183 miles an hour. Her lee rail
was under water and her jib and
fore-topsail, new, strong sails,
were blown in shreds from their
bolt ropes. Such an exhibition of
sail-carrying rarely has been
recorded as that on the Lightning
that day; and it was done prayer
fully, for her master, Captain
Forbes, was strong churchman.
At the end of the "a hours the
ships log showed that she had
made a days run with parallel, of
436 sea miles, or more than 500
land miles.
This entitled the Lightning to
the proud distinction of being the
fastest ship that ever sailed the
seas. There was no steamship of
her day that could approach her
record for a days mileage by 100
miles, and 25 years passed before
a steamer was produced. the Ari-
