Terrific Battle Rages
Bels Mountain Balkans
PARIS, Sept. 19.—A terrific batt
le is raging in the vicinity of Bels
mountain where the Italians east
of this eminence are engaging the
Buigars. This fighting in Macedonia
is stinging the Bulgar flanks with
unpleasant heaviness.
The Servian artillery has repul
sed the Bulgar counter attacas in
the Yeterniks sector.
SOFIA, Sept. 19.—The Buigars
have repulsed the Allies attacks on
the Struma river northeast of Sale-.
niki. The Bulgarian counter retired
the British and French from the left
bank, the situation is however
marked by savage fighting.
SOFIA, Sept. 19.—Mackenzen is
making progress in the Dobrudscha
drive where the enemy is countering
with a sudden and annoying weight.
It is believed that the Russians
have been greatly reinforced in this
section.
ATHENS, Sept. 19.—Foreign Mi
nister Carpakos, received congratu
latory visits from all the resident di
plomats except the ministers of the
Entente Allies who were conspicu
ous by their absence. This is on
account of the attitude of the gov
ernment being still undetermined.
In some circles it is understood
that Carpakos is a strong pro-Ger
man and a great supporter of Con
stantine’s neutral policy.

GERMAN EAST AFRICA
NOW ALMOST CONQUERED
LONDON, Sept. 19.—It is offici
ally reported that the British now
‘occupy the greater part of German
East Africa, the Germans having
been driven southward to Portu
guese territory where they are now
being awaited by the Portuguse
troops augmented by Belgians and
colonials.
General Smuts, in his report,
gives great credit to Colonel Van
der Venter for the reduction of po
sition afteT position of the Germans.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 19.—The
Grand Headquarters Staff denies
point blank the Staats Zeitung dis
patch announcing a Russian defeat
in Galicia. Not only have the Rus
sians not been defeated, but they
have actually advanced eight miles
through the Teuton positions west
of Brody.
The charge is made that because
the Russians counters have halted
the German drive in Dobrudscha,
they seek to encourage the German
people by the dissemination of in
correct news.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 19.—The Rus
sians have halted the drive of the
Teutons and Bulgars in Dobrudscha.
The Germans have been bringing
up reinforcements daily to make
good reports of victory prematurely
sent out. The Bulgar prisoners
taken manifest no enthusiasm in
fighting the brother Slavs. Over
three thousand have been captured
in the Dobrudscha fighting.

Germans Preparing Huge
Offensive On East
LONDON, Sept. 19.—A gigantic
eastern campaign, to be the last ti
tanic effort of the Teutons in the
war, is to be shaped for the East
front. This is all indicated in the
removal of the Army Headquarters
from Germany to the eastern front.
The Kaiser and von Hindenberg are
now conferring it is stated in a
Hague report on the details.
Hindenberg not only approved but
originated the suggestion.
THE HAGUE, Sept. 19.—After a
hard struggle against other military
cheifs, it is admitted that von
Hindenberg has won his way to all
his plans and that for this reason,
the unprotected Russian front is to
receive a terrific blow led by the
veteran conqueror of Poland. Hin
denberg has declared again that the
only way is the victorious way, and
that the German people must make
up their minds not only to end the
war, but to end it as conquerors.
As Hindenberg is a known sup
porter of von Tirpitz submarine po
licy, it is quite possible that this
may be renewed once again.
WASHINGTON D. C., Sept. 19.—
Secretary Lansing has asked the
German government to explain the
submarining of the Kelvinia un

sengers on board.

VILLA SECURED SIX
AUTO LOADS MUNITIONS
EL PASO, Sept. 19.—It is now al
most certain that Villa is acting in
collision with strong interventionist
interests and that his raid upon
Chihuahua was timed to obtain mu
nitions. It is admitted that Villa
obtained six auto loads of ammuni
tion in his attack upon Chihuahua
He has also, it is stated, added one
thousand recruits to his forces.
Vila is now proceeding to Santa
Clara Canyon and it is also declared
that the Chihuahua Carranzists have
■> i " 1 -
quit the chase, Monterey garrisons
starting after Villa. Trevino is re
ported to be afraid to use the north
ern forces because they will join
Villa at the first opportunity. Scores
of refugees who have arrived at
Juarez are the authors of these re
ports and they say that Villa openly
defied the strongest garrison in
northern Mexico, with a strength ot
seven thousand.
NEW YORK,
Sept. 19.—The
alarmist reports coming out oC
Mexico, are it is pointed out, coming
on the authoritiy of Americans in
terested in intervention and strong
ly opposed to the Carranzist govern
ment. It is well therefore to dis
count most ol' these until they have
been officially confirmed. The chase
after Villa, it is now stated on other
authority, is being taken up with
vim and enthusiasm by the Carran
zists. a very conflicting report.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The first

with the Mayor President Shonts of

said it was an absurd proposition.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—A score
of street car and jitney accidents
are reported today, the most serious
jitney disaster being the overturn
ing of a crowded Jitney bus at
Williamsburg bridge when several
girls were injured.
The most serious street car acci
dent was when a Third Awe. Street
car jumped the track and toppled*
over, injuring more or less seriously
all on board. Some of the latter
had to be removed to the hospital
in a critical condition. A green
scab motorman was responsible for
the accident.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The street
car servise was more demoralized to
day than ever when the Queen’s
county electric motormen walked
out to a man. The walk out took
the company by surprise, and they
were unprepared to run a single
car.
