During the current sesion of

ers and friends of those desiring
office. There are only a few of-

the constitution of the State prof-

London, Sept. 27.—The famous
character, Christian Paul Kljave,
who for many years has insisted
he is the Crown Prince Rudolph
of Austria, popularly supposed
to have killed himself or been
murdered many years ago, has
been brought into, court and
■fined $100 or three months’ im-
prisonment. He is an Austrian
and had failed to register under
the new allien order.
The Crown Prince Rudolph
was found dead at his shooting
lodge at Meyerlng, near Vienna,
in 1889. No official details were
ever published,, but it became
known that his death was a
violent one.-.
Kljave says that the report of
his "death” was fabricated for
political purposes to cover his
disappearance from the country
after a quarrel with his father,
the Emperor. A reconciliation

The turning movement directed against the German right
wing by the allied armies is developing rapidly, according to an an-
nouncement by the French war office this afternoon. •
It is declared that a vigorous assault on T racy-Le Mont was
repulsed with heavy losses to the Germans, Tracy-Le-Mont is the
elbow of the fighting line that in a general way stretches from that
point east and north. The official statement says this action moves
more and more towards the north.
There is nothing in the Paris announcement or other official
statements today, however, to confirm last night’s assertion by a
Paris correspondent of a London news agency that the German
right wing hail been broken.
The French war office claims also that slight progress has
.been made between the Argonne region and Meuse and that the
allies have advanced east of St. Mihill. No notable movement has
occurred on the center and the situation on the right is reported
unchanged. —"
An official German announcement, coming by way of London
but nothing of a decisive qharacter has transpired. German head-
quarters also report the center of the battle line as quiet. The

Paris, Sept. 27.—The German
army fk France has been ordered
by its commander in chief to re-
main on the offensive until a
definite result of the battle of
the Aisne is obtained.
This was the interpretation
given in the official-communica-
tion issued by the war office
tonight of the unremitting at-
tacks made by the Germans
along the entire battle line dur-
ing the past three days and
nights. The report stated the
efforts of the enemy so far had
proved unavailing. Thus the
battle enters its third week with
the rival armies engaged in a
ceaseless struggle for inches of
ground. The fighting of the
past twenty-four hours has been
of an unprecedented violence.
Desperate attempts made by
the Germans on the western end
of the long battle line to break
through the allies’ forces, which
ar engaged in a turning move-
ment, have resulted in the most
furious fighting which has taken
plce since the beginning of the
campaign. --
After' fighting without rest
night and day, corps of Germans
were hurled against the allies
today, only to be thrown back.
At peints along the battle front
particularly between the Oise
and the Somme and in the
vicinity of Rheims, the opposing
intrenchments ire only a few
hundred yards apart and the
fighting consists largely of
bayonet charges and chunter
charges. The allies have made
progress north of the Somme
River. Troops have reached
Bapaume, atownaboutseventeen
miles west of Cambrai. Between

A German official statement. issued last night, also describes
the fighting on their right wing as indecisive. The allies operating
against the forts on the Meuse was repulsed, it is said Berlin
confirmed the assault on Antwerp an 1 said that attacks by the
Belgian garrison had been repulsed. Russian assaults on the
government of Suwalki, Russian Poland, have failed, it is declared.

Rome, Sept. 30.—Italy took today what is generally accepted
as the first step leading to an open break with Austria. The
Italian ambassador at Vil jna was instructed formally and most
energetically to file a pt test against the strewing of mines, by
Austria in the Adriatic, He was directed to demand that the
Austrian government immediately discontinue this practice.
Inasmuch as the mines are the only thing which has permitted
the Austrian fleet to remain within the protection of the Pola forti-
fications it is not believed here that Austria will agree to stop
planting them. Then it wil, be up to Italy to enforce her decree
by her army and navy. \
In the official statement sent to Vienna it is pointed out that
many Italian vessels have fallen victims to the mines. It is stated
that hundreds already have been picked up. that many others have
floated ashore on Italian territory and that the fishing crafts are in
grave danger every time they put out to stretch their nets.
