FINAL PHASE LAND
AND SEA CAMPAIGN
LONDON, Oct. 19.—Germany's
land and sea drive is now app-oach
ing its final phase. They s.re now
getting ready to enter the Gulf of
Finlai.d proper in their effort <c
■-■each Petrograd.
Thi Russians have evacuated the
fortress of Reval at the entrance to
the Gulf of Finl: nd arid Germany’s
fleet has completely bottled up the
Russian warships operating off
Oesel islands.

VASHIXGTOX, D. C., Oct. 19 —
-Admiral Mayo today submitted a re
port to President Wilson on the
naval situation in the war zone.
It is an exceedingly optimistic
one and general attention is now
drawn to it by reason of the stait
iirg coincidence that publicity Is
given it at almost the precise junc
ture that the first news of the sink- I
ing of an American transport homiv
wrrd bound lvom Europe is given
out by the officials.
Mayo reports that the submarine
menace has been virtually climinat
ed through the co-operation of the
American destroyer fleet with the j
British and other patrol boats.
Sinkings have been decreasing j
every week by a large margin for
the. past twenty weeks and the sub
marines have met disaster mart
frequently than they claimed vic
tims.
A number of recent sinkings were
due more to carelessness due to
over confidence than to anything |
else. Failure to follow the pre
scribed rule for navigation in the
danger zone has resulted not infre
fluently in steamers paying ihe pen
alty tor this carelessness in their
being victimized by the watchful
divers.
Admiral Mayo does not give any
attention to alarmist reports as to
an extension of the German diver
waters to the western waters of the
Atlantic ocean and does not men
tion the possibility in his report.
Reasonable prices, and first class
workmanship at the Xome Tailoring

CHIEF PEACE TER
IS IRELAND
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 1 9 —The
chief peace term in the manifesto
issued by the international socialist
peace party at their convention just
held here is remarkably enough a
clause declaring for the “political
independence of the Irish nation”.
Considering the fact that Ireland
is wholly unrepresented even by
proxy at this convention and as it
has hardly been very forward in the
socialist movement this poser term
tit tn ■ manifesto is all the more re
markable.
The fact however that James
< onnoly and several others who
were executed in the Easter Rebel
lion over a year ago in Dublin,
there was a considerable amount
of sympathy provoked fer Ireland
in the party convention.
No delegates are present from j
any of the entente nations and some
of the German authorities are now!
exercising considerable concern at
the manifesto which is not inclined
to favor Germany.
LONDON. Oct. 19.—Papers arc i
all discussing the Irish question i
today following Redmond’s speech 1
of yesterday.
U is regarded as a forgone con
clusion that everything has not
gone at the- convention as Redmond
would have desired it to have gone.
That the convention plan is
doomed to defeat is new recognized
Pretty generally even in papers
still very lc-yal to the Lloyd George
government and given to support
Sirongly the convention’s prospect*
up to this.

Complaints was made by Bob
James leading to the arrest of one
| of the employees ot the scavengers
yesterday. The complaint alleg'.ij;
ja nuisance by reason rf the garbage
| dumping on the beach in front ot
j his residence off East Front. The
j scavenger alleges having been au
thorized to dump there by tli city
! authorities when the dumping r
i dn.ike river was prohibi.ed by the
I regulations of the government. At
that time the matter was up before
ihe city for some action, upon the
, reeommendrticn of the efficient
Health officer, but as usual the < ly
council stalled if off and tpek no i
action with the result that ihe cite j
is now before the municipal couil.
It is just as essential that, proper
regulations be provided for 'he eon-j
voaier.ce of-tbs* scavenger a-; for the j
public health, and the failure upon
the part of the City Council to take
action, when the matter was brought
before it is really account: ble ft r
the present impasse. If work ha;,
