The prospective Fulton Willard
fight in the Twin Cities on July
4, has stirred UP hornets nest
and ten chances to one,this much
heralded scrap will be dalled off
insofar as Minnesota is concerned.
The general opinion seems to be
that these "brave" fighters
SHOULD 60 where they are needed
and where they belong. There
is lots of room on the lines in
France for just such as these and
dozens of others who are four
flushing about the country under
the pretext of fighting. The only
drawback seems to be the money
question. There is a perceptible
difficulty i'm getting thousands of
dollars for a few minutes finn
Tanning the public over here
without the least possibility OF
getting their head knocked off
for a few dollars. These fighters
take no chances. Along with the
measure to take all our boys as
fast as they become 81 years Of
age into service, we suggest, that
the law be amended to grab prize
fighters, promoters, cabaret per-
formers, travelling male glee clubs,
tango instructors, pool sharks.
bar tenders, church deacons un-
der 40 years of age, male piano
players and such other species of
non-essentials. Put the latter in
a company by themselves.

NOVEL INTRODUCTION.

The other days (says writer in a
London newspaper l witnessed a
pathetic incident while washing my
hands in an hotel. Two young Of
fcers entered, strangers to each 9TH
er. one with his left coat sleeve
empty, the other with his right arm
in sling. They looked at each 9TH
er, and one of them said with some
diffidence: ."Shall we wash hands to-
gether ?" Whereupon each washed
the others hand, dried it, and after
this novel introduction they went off
to lunch together.

AMERICAN TANKER
OUTFIGHTS U-BOAT
Stops to Return Fire While Norwegian
and British Ships Make
Their Escape.

An Atlantic Port, Oct. 30.--A tors
pedo and shell fire attack by Ger
man submarine on an American tank
er, British freighter and q Nor
wegian freighter, on October 81, 700
miles from the French coast, in which
the American tanker stopped to en-
gage and apparently outfought the
U-boat, was described by the crew of
the Norwegian ship, which arrived
here today.
The three vessels were travelling to-
gether, the Norwegian crew said,
when the submarine made its presence
known by launching a torpedo at the
Britisher. The enemy then appeared
on the surface and with two deck
guns opened fire on all three ships.
The vessels scattered, and the British
er, being the fastest, soon was hull
down on the horizon The Norwegian
ship, unarmed, moved off in an oppo-
site direction, while the american
tanker, turning SO as to present g.
stern target, opened fire and in short
order made the U-fboat submerge.
The day following, the Norwegian
added periscope appeared abreast
the ship. The crew prepared to take
to the life boats. The submarine. how
ever, made no attack, but moved
across the steame er's bow and soon dis.
appeared.

BRUTAL TREATMENT
OF HUN CAPTIVES
FIagrant Breach of International Law
in Prison Camps, Commons
Is Informed.

London, Oct. 3O.-Germany has
f1agrantly broken the rules of interna
tional law in her treatment of British
prisoners of war, declared Sir George
Cave, the British home secretary, in
discussing the question of prisoners of
war in the house of commons yester
day. Some of the German intern
ment camps, he said, were reasonably
we'll organized, but there were other
camps where conditions were almost
unspeakable and where inhumane
treatment almost past belief went on.
Working parties of British prisoners
were beaten, tortured and made to
work when they were i'll. Everything
was done to break their spirit,
but Sir George added, the enemy
had failed in most cases. Sir
George believed that if any armistice
with either Germany or Austria
Hungary was reached the government
would take steps to see that one of
the primary conditions would be that
all prisoners of war in enemy coun-
tries should be Immediately and un-
conditionally released.

NEW BRITAIN BOMBARDED
WITH POLITICAL BARRAGE

For the third time Congressman
Lonergan today issued challenge to
his opponent to debate the issues of
the campaign in the open forum. but
there was no response from Mayor
Quigley's side at a noon day rally
held at Landers, Frary & Clarks
The Congressman spoke to about 500
employees and was cheered as he re-
viewed what he had done in q legiS
lative way for his district.
Mr.. LOnergan asked his hearers
whether they were satisfied to send Il
man back to congress on his record,
or whether they wished to experiment
with a novice who could hold out only
promises. The congressman then
spoke of his measures in behalf Of
the soldiers, mentioning his penny
mileage bill and his free postage law.
both of which measures were enacted
at his instigation. He also reminded
the audience that when the railroad
fares on the "dinkey' lines were raise
to so cents he succeeded in having
them reduced within Il week to II
cents. This declaration was received
with applause.
The meeting was opened by At
torney p. II. McDonough.
Elett and Chamberlain Speak.
Senator George w. Klett and State
Treasurer r. S. Cham beTlAin were the
speakers at the MONDAY rally at the
Stanley Rule and Level factory to-
day. The speakers were listened to
by q large audience.
Mr.. Chamberlain in opening the
meeting told of the work done at the
state capitol by the republicans. His
strong argument was in the financial
departments of the state government
with which he has been connected
for the past four years. He spoke a
few words for the two local candi-
dates, G. W. Klett and G. w. Quig-
ley. For the office of congressman"
he said, I'VE have q local candidate
for the first time in a number Of
years, in over 20 years-a man to
whom we have entrusted the mayor
atty of the city for three successive
terms, and a strong, energetic and
patriotic man. If you vote to put
George Quigley in congress you need
not fear that he will do anything to
help the KAISER
Senator Klett spoke on behalf Of
his candidacy for reelection. He

the position his record of work done
while in the senate, and compared
it with the work of his opponent,
George M. Landers, while he was in
the senate. He gave dates on which
his opponent had been marked ''ab-
sent and not voting" while senator
from this city, six years ago, and
stated that in the four sessions, two
regular and two special, he O<lett)

a session.
The speaker urged every man to
exercise the right of franchise next
Tuesday whether he used it for or
against him, in order to do thier duty
as citizens of the country.

President Wilson issued an appeal TO
the voters of the country to return to

can dictate to the voters Of the
country how they are to vote. He
then gave figures on votes taken on
important war measures to show
the republican congressman are ar
dent supporters of the president in all
war measures even more SO than the
democrats.
Speaker HeaIy at Stanley Works.
At a rally at the Stanley Works
this noon Walter H. Hart introduced
Speaker Frank f. Healy to an aud
ience composed of workers at the
Stanley Works.
Mr.. Healy addressed his listeners
as fellow workers" saying that since
the war began every man had been
a worker, and declared that New
Britain had done its part in furnish
ing workers to the government. He
said that the war is not a partisan
nor q political war but a. war of the
people of the United States for the
principles which were established by
their forefathers, at the cost of bitter
fighting and bIoodshed.
He told the audience of the neceS-
sity of passing the conscription bill
when war broke out and declared
that but for the republican votes in
congress the bill would have been
defeated. He mentioned the fact that
it was the democratic representatives,
Clark, Kitchin and Dent, who had
held up the passage of the bill and
that it was Julius Kahn of California,
a republican, who had put the bill
through the house.
He referred to President Wilson'S
statement. ITO elect republican rep
resentatives will hurt me at home
and abroad" What will Germany
think?" Mr.. Healy said, "Who in
hell cares what the people of Ger
many think?" 1.-The republicans
want unconditional surrender and
peace made in Berlin" Lonergan
did not mean only a vote for him,
but q vote for the retention of Champ
Clark as speaker of the House. He
then told his hearers that in voting
for the republican representatives
they would vote for someone who
would look out for their interests as
laboring people.
At this juncture the speaker shout
ed You voters have not a single
reason for voting for Gus oLnergan!'
To this bystander, evidently one of
the congressman's many admirers,

AUSTRIAN ROUT ON PAVE;
GUNS AND SUPPLIES LEFT
Defense Shattered and War
Headquarters Expects to
Administer Heavy Defeat
Americans Ready.

Italian Headquarters on the Piave,
Oct. 80. (By the Associated Press)-
Austro- Hungarian forces are retiring
in the region east of Conegliano. They
are leaving behind them scattered
along the roads toward Vittorio, sew
Ell miles north of Conegliano, and
Sacile, farther east, many big guns
and munitions wagons.
The capture of Conegliano by the
Italians was important since that
town is the center of five highways
and also is situated on the railway.
The city is being used as q supply
station for the Italians. From this
city the Italians will be able to DOM
mate not only the lower mountain
region but also the enemy troops on
the lower Piave.
Large mum bers of Italian - cavalry
already have crossed the Piave. The
lower stream is becoming critical and
they may be cut off.
The taking of Conegliano was ef-
fected by Italian trops which crossed
the Piave south of the Nervesa region
on Monday night in the face of an
intense artillery fire. They cut their
way through roads barred and block
ed by barbed wire and machine gun
The first troops to enter Conegli-
ano were seven cyclists who were fol-
lowed by the Como infantry brigade
The Italians were met by civilians
waving Italian flags.

Expect Enemy to Be Overwhelmed.

Italian Headquarters on the PiaVe,
Oct. 30, (By the Associated Press)-
Austrian forces are retreating under
ever increasing pressure and it is felt
that the attack against the enemy will
become overwhelming as soon as the
entire Allied force can enter the ac-
ton.
With three successive days of fair
weather, an extremely large body of
troops, with supplies, has crossed the
pontoons over the Piave. 1t is eX-
pected that the Austrian munitions
supply will give out. There are indi-
cations that the enemy's heavy ar
.tillery is being Withdrawn in an ef-
fort to save the big guns.
The American Red Cross is pre-
pairing to assist the Italian popula-
ton in towns evacuated by the Aus
trians. For ten miles back from the
river the country has been desolated.
The latest reports show the Aus
trians retreating steadily to save
themselves in the Piave district
where $50 guns and 1000 additional
prisoners were captured today. Mon
te Grappa has been attacked violent
ly by the enemy, however, but the &C
tion resulted in his repulSe.
More than 10000 prisoners have
been captured since the attack began
Elements of the American expedi-
tionary force in Italy, who have been
in reserve, nov are in readiness to
take part in the fighting east of the
Piave. The Americans probably will
be brigaded with the Italians.
