NO. 2005.
LONDON, Sept. 22.—Very sub
stantial Anglo-French gains are re
ported along the Somme-Ancre
front where the Allies advanced a
mile. It is admitted that this clash
was the most sanguinary since the
drive began against the Germans or
even since the attack upon Verdun
began.
. The Paris communique says that
the most furious counters of the
Germans against Preiz and Rancourt
were checked by the fierce and un
approacheable machine gun fire of
the Allies. Whole German battal
Ions were aniiillated 'in* these des
perate attacks.
The Germans had a triple objec
tive in their counter attack: to free
Combles from the strangling encirc
lement of the Allies; to stop the
iron wedge driving on Peronne
Yobilz-Colbelz route arid to drive the
Allies from Hill 76. The great of
fensive was a complete failure, the
defeat of the Germans being humil
iating and complete. The casualty
lists of the enemy in the various re
gions where, they came in contact
with the Allies consisted of sixty
per cent of the effective strength of
the enemy., , .
The slaughter is beyond descrip
tion, miles of advancing troops be
ing literaly mowed down where they
were advancing when caught by the
desperate and all pervading ma
chine fire.

PARIS, Sept. 22.—General Sar

reports that the Servian advance is
bearing down all opposition and
they have now reached Verbani,
after heavily defeating the Bulgars
as they retire. On Sobroskof the
French have reached the heights
which dominate Fiorina, the Bul
gars here also retiring.
PARIS, Sept. 22.—Athens says
that a Sofia wireless admits that the
Bulgars are jn retreat along the
southern fronts.
BERLIN, Sept. 22.—Austrian sea
planes bombarded and sank a
French submarine, the Foucas, in
the Adriatic, taking all the crew
prisoners. This is the first time in
the history of the war that an air
craft defeated a submarine and the
Austrians are proud of their great
achievement.
SOFIA, Sept. 22.—General von
Mackenzen is taking the sides of
Greece in the present controversy
and inists upon, a settlement, Uvia
is an official announcement made
today.
LONDON. Sept. 22.—The Sofia
admission that the German general
is seeking to have the Greek soldier
question settled, is not regarded
here very seriously. It is merely
meant to affect the Greeks and to
gain support for the cabinet which
is while ostentibly neutral, clearly
pro-German and mostly political
corruptionists, pure and simple.

WILSON CALLS PAGE TO
CONFER IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22.—
Some considerable stir has been oc
casioned in diplomatic circles by
the announcement that Ambassador
Page has been called from London
to confer with President Wilson.
While the reason for Page being
requested to come to the capital is
not yet made public, it is said to be
a fairly open secret that the black
list and censorship is the subject
matter which Wilson is desirous to
talk with Page upon.
Wilson’s advisers are not disput
ing the legality of retaliatory legis
lation on the subejct, declares Sec
retary Lansing today in an offiical
statement. He continues that the
opinions invited by the State Depart
ment on the subject involving as
they do highly technical questions
in international law so far have not
shaped themselves into any definite
policy as yet.
The outcome of the present legal
discussion in State Department circ
les are unquestionably of vital im
portance as they involve the whole
question of the United States for
eign policy.
The legislation prescribed by Con
gress is of a far reaching nature as
far as international relations are
concerned and so diplomacy will
shape itself more carefully than
usual.

New York
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—For the
first time in the history of the Am
erican labor movement a general
strike in any city has been called.
After a three hour debate between
eighty union representatives at
which many national and interna
tional officers were present, a gen
eral strike was voted for to be cal
led on next Wednesday.
The announcement which has stir
red the city to its depths reads:
“By a unanimous vote the suspen
sion of work in all trades will be
come effective on next Wednesday
unless the right Of the traction em
ployees to organize is by that time
conceded as unquestioned".
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The traffic
paralysis certain to follow the strike
call in this city is causing a panic.
All industries are affected. Trans
portation will become practically
impossible and millions will be out.
The situation is so grave that there
is no knowing where it will end.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—Just be
fore the general strike announce
ment, the police issued a bulletin
announcing that they were prepared
to protect against mob violence and
increased police protection would be
given scabs. The police authorities
promise heavy penalties to all
rioters. The unionists are pointing
out that the most flagrant offenders
have been scabs not one of whom
has been punished. Protection for
lawless gangsters is what the union
ists term the police decree.

CONFLICTING REPORTS ARE
ARRIVING FROM EUROPE
BUCHAREST, Sept. 22.—The Ru
manians and Russians by their con
stant hammering on the Teuton lines
compelled the retirement of the lat
ter five miles in some disorder
along the entire Dobrudscha front,
capturing the Unvarseli positions
and the town which the Bulgars,
Turks and Germans had been using
as their base for operations against
the Constanza railroad. The Teu
ton check is complete and the Ru
manians and Russians obtained a
great quantity of army stores when
the place was occupied, indicating
how hurried was the retirement of
the enemy.
LONDON, Sept. 22.—The Staats
Zeitung report emanating from Ber
lin tonight says that the General
staff reports that Marshal MacKen
zen has compelled the retirement of
the Rumanians and Russians in dis
order by his able drives against
their positions. No details are given.
This report is quite in conflict with
that received from both Petrograd
and Bucharest.
BERLIN, Sept. 22.—On September
17 a German submarine sank a
British transport in the Mediterra
nean. The name of the transport
is not listed in the report.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21.—
Wilson is being dragged into the
wet and dry question against his
wishes. Today the Dry Campaign
Manager Steward, of this city, wired
Wilson asking for a straight answer
to a direct question which is a very
embarrasing one. The wets have
been proclaiming the fact that Wil
son is for temperance and not pro
hibition and Steward wants to
know if this statement by the wet
ones is correct or is it not.
This evening arrived with no
answer coming so far from Wilson.
