AMERICANS LOSE HOME PROTECTION If They Fight fof Great Britain They Ex Them- selves. > Wp------ Washington, Nov. 3.--~Any Ameri- 'can who fights for England in the present war expatriates himself. The State Department made this clear yesterday in conjunction with its action in refusing a to Theodore Marburg, Jr., of Baltimore, who™18 returning to nd to re- join the Royal Aviation Corps. Expatriation results from the fact that all British soldiers must take the oath of allegiance to the British Crown--which in the case of Ameri- wipes out their allegiance to this country. As for the Americans fighting with the foreign legion or the French army, the Department made known that the burden will rest upon them to prove the oath they haye taken has not expratriated their. It was learned also that the State Department had suggested. to the French Oovernment that it 'discon- tinue referring to the American aviators with the French army as members of the American corps, ows ing to the false light in which such references place the United States as a neutral nation.

"You men are much safer under lock and key. If such a charge had been laid against you in the United States the jail where you were kept would be mobbed and you would be lynched.

Rome, Italy, Nov. 3.--""This is the life." This is the joyful song of Italy's Austri prisoners.

Generally they are passing lives of sunny idleness, living in what is really luxury for wartime. Recently the newspapers discover- ed that Austrian officers under Ital- jan escort were visiting gay resorts almost weekly. Then and not un- til then did the editors cry "halt!" They had borne with the enemies who had burned the Italian flag in their Gorizia interment camp. They had even kept silent when the col- ors, opposite the camp, were removed because they were an 'eyesore' to the Austrians. : But the limit bad been reached at last. So they decide that the Ital- fans must lose their proverbial soft- heartedness. Poverty-stricken moth- ers of Italy are sending $2 a month and more to feed their starving pris- oners sons in Austria, it is alleged. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," the papers demand. Regulation 17 Confirmed. The decision of the Privy Coucil upon the legality of Regulation of most people who have been in- thought upon it. Education, in Other words, in the judgment of the Privy Council, lies with the prov- ince, and in promoting it the province has the fullest authority. "The regulation," as a contemporary puts it, "does not prescribe or prohibit the use of French in the schools to which it applies, but 'rather has as its object to promote 'the study and use of English among the French-speaking people." this are not to be Sueationed or disputed so far as the province is The means of accomplishing enactments of the Government is The Privy Council disapproves of thé Commission which'the Ontario Government appointed as a substitute for the Board of Trustees when the latter body declined to carry out Regulation 17. It is mot certain whether tne Commission is prohibited under any circumstances, or only on condition that the school trustees will not obey the Education Department. This matter has to be looked into, and in the meantime there is great confusion in Ottawa because the Commission has been usurp- lug the function of the Board, has been and using the money of the people. All this is declared to be legal, (SNE Tt WH be' WelfAf'&santtioment sau be senchud. without, futher budgets, striking rates, OTTANA BOAR T0 CEASE FHT Its With the Special dd BOTH SIDES CLA VICTORY THE VIEW EXPRESSED BY LEAD. ER GENEST, OTTAWA. View Expressed in Montreal That Both Sides Should Get Together and Make the Bilingual Question Cease to Be, Ottawa, Nov. 3.--The decision of the British Privy Council in the On- tario Separate school case was re- ceived in-Ottawa yesterday with very deepest interest. Both sides to the controversy claim to see in the de- cision"a victory for themselves. The Separate school interests rejoice that the commission bas been declared fllegal, while the other side to the dispute acclaim the decision as a victory for the Provincial Govern- ment, in that it rules that the Prov- ince is supreme. In general, however, it is conceded to be a distinct victory for the Eng- lish-speaking forces. The situation is thus practically as it stood prior to the appointment of the commis- sion, and when the board was openly refusing to carry out Regulation 17. Leader Genest's View. "We~have won a fair victory on one score," said Sam Genest, head of the Separate school movement. "The commission has been declared illegal though the regulation has been up- held. /The Privy Council has declar- ed that the $85,000 belongs to the Separate School Board, but the trou- ble is that the commission has -al- ready spent a good deal of the money. It isn't a victory to crow ver, but now that the fight is done ee have peace. If the hts of thé French-Canadians can pro- tected then it is better to finish it." A View in Montreal. Montreal, Nov. 3.--Discussing the n... New York, Nov. George. The Duke afterwards lunch- obey the law, and the only way to get them to obey it is by the appoint- ment of a commission. There is no chance of any French-Canadian trus- tee elected in a school section carry- ing out the'law. How are they go- ing to force them to do it? . They can withhold the grant or stop them from levying taxes, but I don't think this will help any. "The Privy Council gives the Gov- gnment rower to pass legislation, but gives it no power to see that it is carried out. It's all right to de- clare Regulation 17 valid and we're glad of that, but the second part about the commission being ultra vires is a victory for the French Can- adians." . Government Elated. Toronto, Nov. 3.--Members of the Ontario Government, from the Pre- mier down, are elated over the Privy of the Ontario school laws is quite within the powers of the province. 'We have not yet learned the full text of the judgment," said Premier Hearst, 'but what little has reached us indicates that we have won a spléndid victory. The Mackell ap- peal was as to the constitutionality of Regulation 17, and the Privy Council has decided that we were quite within our 'rights when we passed that regulation. "That means that the big fight on Regulation 17 is over; it. means that we have won that fight, and all that is left for the French people to do is to submit. That is all they ean do as I see it. They have carried their case to the highest possible court and have received a judgment. I presume that they will now submit to the decision and accept Regulation 17 as the law." Can Soon Be Righted. 'Toronto, Nov. 3.--Hon. Dr. R. A, Pyne, Minister of Education, declar- ed that the Privy Council decision meant that the jurisdiction of the de- partment regarding educational af- fairs was supreme in the province. 'It means that we have every right to control the school system of On- tario," said he. "The act regarding the commis- sion was merely defective and we can set that right.. The most import. ant is about Regulation 17, which is declared valid." WATCH THE FRONTIER FOR TORONTO DOCTOR? Sought on Charge of Trying to Smuggle Certain Prepara- tion Into U. S. New York, Nov. 3.--It is report. ed that orders sent out to Govern- ment officials along the Canadian border to watch for and detain a former physician. of Toronto. He 'was secretly arrested, it is claimed, at s port by Customs officials on his arrival from Copenhagen on the Scandindvian-American liner United States, on the night of October 19, by two deputy surveyors and ar- raigned before United States Com- missioner Besson in Hoboken on a charge of attempting to smuggle a certain preparation into the country. He was released under nominal bail, but on the following day, when it 'was éharged that he had aldo at- tempted to bring in a large quantity of a worthless imitation of the costly preparation, formerly made .exclus- sively in Germany, he was rearrested and held under higher bail on an ad- ditional charge of violating the pure food and drug act, according to the story. A Canadian Press despatch from New York quotes The Tribune as saying that the name of the man al- leged to be wanted is Jean F. Stand- gaard.

Further south the Italian centre broke through the Austrian lines for an advance of nearly a mile east of Oppacchiasella. The artillery attack on the enemy's lines reached its greatest violence in this region. The Austrian defences were pulverized, and attacking iIn- fantry rounded up groups of dazed: enemy Soldiers. The battle is extending southward to the Adriatic. The Italians are at~ tacking Austrian lines northeast of Duino, an important railway point called by some military critics the key to Trieste.
