ALLIES CLAIM SUCCESSES ON
MANY OF THE WARRING FRONTS
ITALIANS SUCCESSFUL
HOME. Nov. 1.—The Italians have taken four thou
sand additional prisoners in their new offensive and have
made additional gains of importance at several points
from the coast of the Adriatic sea to tiorizia. 1 he liglit
ing is described as intense and bitter. The positions of
tiie Austrians are strong and in many instances the Ital
ian troops are compelled to storm steep heights that are
well manned and well supplied with guns.
FRENCH TAKE TRENCHES
BERLIN, Nov. 4.—The war department admits that
the French have taken German positions at Sailly on the
Somme front but it is stated that the new allied offensive
generally in that theatre has brought very slight results.
The British last night attacked in force east of Guede
court and suffered heavy losses without securing any ap
propriate advantage.
ROUMANIANS WINNING
BUCHAREST, Nov. 4.—The Roumanians attacked
yesterday in Buezo valley and occupied Mount Siriul.
Our force aiso drove the lentous across the Hungarian
border at Tablebutz and also gained successes in other
fields, the war otfice officially announces. The campaign
in Dobnulja has apparently come to a standstill as Mack
ensen is unable to advance further north and at the same
time protect his flank along the Danube with the forces at
his disposal.
BRITISH MAKE GAINS
PARIS. Nov. 1.—The British, following several suc
cesses in the open, have occupied Alitha on the left bank
of the Struma river in Macedonia. The Serbs are report
ed to be progressing most favorably to the westward in
the Monastir region.
FRENCH GAIN AT VAUX
PARIS, Nov. 4. — It is officially announced that the
French are gaining further at Yaux in the Verdun theatre
and have occupied the heights overlooking the village.
The German counter attacks in that quarter for the past
two days have been repulsed with heavy losses.
BRITISH CAPTURE TRENCH
LONDON. Nov. 4.—The official news from the west
front today says that the British have captured a trench
east of Guedecourt and have successfully raided German
trenches near Arras.
FIGHTING IN THE EAST
PETROGRAD. Nov. 4.—Infantry fighting is continu
ing in Galicia and Volhynia and the Russians have gained
slight successes, it is officially reported, in both regions.
Our troops yesterday reoccupied part of the trenches lost
to the Teutons west of the Stokhod and also east of Lipni
cadolna. The attempt of the Teutons to inaugurate a
great offensive on the southeast front has not been crown
ed with anything approaching success, the war office
states.
ADLER TRIAL SOON
VIENNA, Nov. 4.—Dr. Adler, the assassin of Pre
mier Sturgkh, will probably come up for his hearing next
week. The socialist party in parliament passed a reso
lution condemning the assassination. Adler remains sil
ent and adheres to his resolution not to explain the reas
ons for the act until he appears in court.
TURKS MARCHING NORTH
ATHENS. Nov. 4.—Large Turkish forces are report
ed on the move from Constantinople and Adrianople to
wards the Dobrudja border and military people believe
ti'.ev are intended as reinforcements for Mackensen. The
*
Russian pressure on the Turkish lines in Asia Minor is
said to have been relieved by the necessity for Russia con
centrating greater strength for the defense of Roumania.
SAYS SULZER WILL
CARRY ANCHORAGE
Addresses Crowded and En
thusiastic Meeting in
Empress.
AXOHOKACIK, Xov. 4.—The Sulzer
rally here last night was the greatest
I success. The Kmpress theatre was
jammed and the speech of Sulzer was
the masterpiece ot' the campaign. Kor
two hours he held his audience of over
a thousand people in perfect control
and received rounds of the heartiest
; applause, it was the most enthusi
astic and successful meeting held at*
Anchorage. Sulzer paid a glowing
tribute to Cirigsby and also to the en
tire Democratic divisional ticket. Ho
is making a whirlwind campaign and
1 the sentiment in Anchorage and vicin
| ity is all for him. There is no ques
* tion now that he will carry Anchor
age and its neighborhood and the
whole Third division.

The Admiral Goodrich will leave
Seattle on the Sth for Seward and will
go back from this place direct.

DEUTSCHLAND SOON GOES
NEW LONDON, Nov. 4.—Captain Koenig stated to
day that lie will make the homeward start on tne Deutsch
land probably within the next ten days and he says he will
be convoyed by the submarine U-57 which left Bremen on,
October 13 and which he expects to arrive before lie isi
ready to depart. The cargo of the Deutschland is being
unloaded with the strictest secrecy and the crew constant-i
ly is on guard.
DOUBT KOENIG STORY
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Nov. 4.—The British nava*
authorities here express disbelief of tne story told by
Captain Koenig of the Deutschland about his \u\agt,
especially that part which says that he moved under trie
largest ships of the British fleet.
TO PROTEST DEUTSCHLAND
LONDON, Nov. 4.—The cabinet is reported to have
again decided to protest to the United States as well as to
all other neutrals against permitting armed submarines
to enter their ports and depart like ordinary war vessels
as, it is claimed, a submarine may enter a port and before
entering or after departure may remain hidden within the
three miles limit. The Daily Mail points out that the
sinking of a German merchant submarine without warn
ing might easily occur without blame to anyone as, it says,
it is impossible at any distance to distinguish a merchant
submarine from an armed one. It is assumed that the
Mail has the Deutschland in view in speaking in this man
ner.
REPORT ZEPPELINS BUSY
LONDON, Nov. 4.—British agents in Holland report
chat information has been received that three Zeppelins
.ere seen over that country today and flying in the di

SULZER IN FIRST TO
HAVE LEAD OF 1500
JUNEAU, Nov. 4.—The precinct
workers predict a thousand lead fo
Sulzer on Gastincau channel and the
indications are that his lead in the
whole division will be fifteen hundred.
His managers point out that three
days of hard work now by every Sul
zer man means his election to con
gress next Tuesday. They ask that
all Alaskan working men remember
that the labor vote of the United
States is behind Wilson to a man,
making his election certain, and that
Alaskan labor should follow suit by
electing the Democrat in the terri
tory and the man who has been en
dorsed by the President himself. Bets
have been made here that Sulzer w ill
carry Juneau by five hundred ma
jority.

• ITimulty, secretary to the president,
says Utah is safely Wilsonian. Foeny
of Jersey City hit off what promises

and working three shifts. Wall Street
is terribly peeved at Wilson for the
dams at the Street in his last
j speeches out the Demociat broker

him. The betting yesterday involved
three hundred thousand dollars wind

Xew York has come as a surprise biu
the hughes managers realize tha*
they must carry Xew York to win.
1 here are reports tiiat the \» ilsoii
drift is growing but the betting to
night, Friday, is ten to six in favo.
of the Republican. Inside Democra.
.igures give Wilson an eighty thou
sand plurality in the city. If Hughe:

unquestionably small, twenty to !itt>
thousand. The Democrats sa.»
Hughes cannot, however, overcome!
the great lead of the Democrats ii
the city. They admit, though, that j
things slipped a little on Thurselax
but they are still confident. The Her
ald. which is supporting Hughes, say:

Republicans have teen forced to raise
their odds.
HUGHES IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.—The odds here
are ten to nine on Hughes.
ROOSEVELT ROASTS
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—At a Coopei
Union mass meeting last night Roose
velt denounced the administration
policies again. He charged that in the
shadow of the greatest danger Wilson
is fooling the voters and he urged the
election of Hughes who, he said, is
fearless and straightforward anil
showed it in his whole public record
Hughes, said Roosevelt, is absolutely
uncontrolled. He hit the hyphenates
hard and says no American could go
i fifty-fifty in loyally. The times de
i mand, said the speaker, another Lin
j coin or Washington. lhe country
I must swap horses to pass the national
1 crisis which now confronts the nation.
The speaker also scored Wilson for
p emitting bargaining in the question
of the Armenian and Mexican atroci
ties and only promising future action.
BOSTON BETS ON HUGHES
NEW YORK, Nov. fi. — A special
dispatch from Boston announces that
a million has been bet on Hughes
I there at odds of 10 to 8 and 10 to 6.

WILSON roll UOADMAN
A request has been made to state
the fact that James K. Wilson is can
didate in this division for road super
visor. The request was made because
Mg name was overlooked by othei
papers. He is a splendidly equipped
man for the* job, they say.
CAN’T BK Dll)
Still up in the air; still a trusting
come-on, the Prohibition Billboard
,his morning sets another impossible
and ridiculous stunt for us, as follows:
“Count up the men in our com
munity who have been advised to
stop drinking in order to save
their lives.”
It can’t be done. You may know
one or two of them, if they told you
of the incident, themselves, but a
census would be impossible. 1 he
family physician would in each case
be the only man who could competent
ly give them such advice and it the
family physician immediately adver
tised the fact that he had so order
ed, he would immediately cease to be
the family physician and if he was
not barred from the medical profes
sion for disclosing professional sec
rets, he would oe so well advertised as
a “tattler” that his business would
suffer.
Try something logical, if you have
it, and we will try to accommodate
you, but we are not ready to estab
lish new rules between physician and
patient, for the healing art was prac
ticed and its rules established some
days before the News-Miner opened
for business in Our Town.—hairbanks
