Turks Join Bui gars
And Germans In War
BERLIN, Sept. 12.—The Turks
joined the Bulgars and Germans in
a great drive upon the Dobrudscha
province of Rumania where the
fighting is now intense. The Ruma
nians are withdrawing from position
after position and they are now
practically a defeated nation. It
would not be surprising if Ruma
nia sought shortly a separate
peace. •
SALONIKA, Sept. 12.—The French
troops joined the British and the
Servians in their drive against the
Bulgars and have captured the town
of Yenidge.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—The British
have captured four villages from
the Bulgars defeating both wings
and creating a sensation in Athens.
Strong British forces are now en
gaging the retiring Bulgars left and
inflicting upon the later enormous
losses.
I
LONDON, Sept.. 12.—Defeat at
the hands of the British has forced
the Bulgars to abandon Kavala,
pushing Aegeanwards. The heavy,
Anglo-French attacks have compel
led the Bulgars right to retire. In
the first pitched battle in the Bal- j
kans, the Bulgars lost two miles of;
trenches north of Majadan. The Al-:
lies are following up the Bulgar de
feat by administering heavy blows
at a dozen different places upon the
retiring Bulgars.
QUIET ON SOMME AS
ALLIES HOLD COUNTERS
LONDON, Sept. 12.—Practically
no activities of an offensive nature
are reported by the British or
French Field Headquarters today
from the Somme. The Allies seem
apparently satisfied to withold Ger
man counter attacks in that region.
The British are strengthening all of
their gains along the Somme front.
BERLIN, Sept. 12.—The Bavarian
Crown Prince, Prince Rupprecht,
who so distinguished himself in the
eastern fighting has been appointed
to the supreme command of the
German forces in the Somme.
PARIS. Sept. 12.— The lull in
the west today was almost absolute
hardly a gun being fired and both
sides apparently quit fighting. In
the evening several German counter
attacks were delivered against the
British lines in the Somme, hut
without any result except serious
loss to the attackers. Beyond this,
there can be said to have been very
little fighting today on the west.
LONDON, Sept.. 12.—The interest
is now diverted to the Balkans
where an Allied drive of consider
able magnitude is breaking against
the strong defenses of Bulgaria.
The Bulgars began their retiremept
this afternoon with the Allies in hot
pursuit.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Inter
mittent rioting prevailed here today,
strikers and sympathizers hurling
missiles upon the motormen on the
elevated. The company is dropping
the gunmen tactics owing to the
very excited state of feeling that
prevails.
NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-The si
tuation today is showing no change
as far as the strike is concerned.
A vote is being taken in several
unions as to the stand will be taken
in the matter of supporting the car
men. All of these are said to be
favorable for sympathetic action.
Shopmen employed by the trac
tion companies, electricians and
line men are all making ready to
walk out. T he officials of the
unions are trying tc prevent action,
and it is stated this evening that
there is no danger of any combined
action being taken in the city ae
at first reported. It is understood
that the tractionists will have to
fight it out aloae.
MEXICAN COMMISSION IS
PRESIDED OVER OY LANE
NEW LONDON, Sept. 7.—The
Mexican Commission got down to
business today by taking ‘up the
most important matter of the south
ern republic’s finances. As the
finances of the republic are in such
a chaotic and practically bankrupt
condition, settlement of American
damage claims will be practically
impossible unless some means is
acquired of raising money for
Mexico.
For this reason, with the ac
quiescence of the American peace
commissioners the matter .of finance
first occupied the attention of the
commsslon at its morning session.
It is now believed that the United
Maine Still Republican
But Majority Lessened
PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 12.—
Maine is still republican with Mill
ken getting a plurality of about
eight thousand, with some precincts
yet to be heard from. Ferdinand
Hale for the Senatorship had a
plurality of about six thousand each
over Johson and Sills. Johnson is
the present incumbent. The small
republican majority is considered
the most marked feature of the
election contrasted with 1912.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 12.—
The results of the Maine election
are without question regarded with
satisfaction by the Democrats. Sec
retary Daniels calls it a Bourbon
victory but a republican majority.
This view is shared by the adminis
tration officials.
AUGUSTA. Me., Sept. 12.—The
Democrats with considerable satis
faction are pointing to a former re
publican plurality of thirty thou
sand even when progressive candi
dates were in the field, and are ask
ing if this is anything like a repub
lican landslide.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Republi
cans expected to receive a sweeping
victory in Maine, and they are not
making any attempt to disguise the
fact that the vote is a little disap
pointing. Gotham papers are almost,
a unit in agreeing that it shows un
expected democratic strength, and
Wilson is responsible for that.

RUSSIANS START NEW
CAMPAIGN IN MOUNTAINS
PETROGRAD, Sept 12.—The Rus
sians began new activities in the
Carpathians today when they achiev
ed new successes, capturing several
heights in the Bukowina border
ridge north of Kapul Mountain
where they bagged a thousand pri
soners.
Snow is beginning to fall in the
hills and the weather is cold.
BERLIN, Sept. 12.—The Russian
offensive is now practically dead
with artillery duels taking the place
of the open fighting that marked
its inception, and the men digging
themselves in entrenchments.
The General Staff pays little at
tention to the reported new drive
in the Carpathians. It is too late
for mountain climing, said one of
the German general staff officers.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—It is agreed
that from now until the close of the
Autumn season the greatest fight
ing will be in the Balkans. It is
expected that Greece will be involv
ed before many days and the Ger
mans are making great efforts to at
tack Rumania, but so far notwith
standing reports, it is officially stat
ed their offensive there is quite un
important. Turkish troops have
been requested by the Central Pow
ers to assist against the Entente.
SPAIN ANXIOUS BUTT
INTO GREAT WAR
I
MADRID, Sept. 12.—This country
is still strangely excited by an ad
dress delivered by former Preuier
Maura to a meeting of six thousand
conservatives last night, which in
dicates that a strong political fac
tion in the kingdom would not be
averse to taking up the cause of the
Teutons and lining up with the Cen
tral Powers.
States government will adopt the
unusual policy of backing the
finances of Mexico by endorsing the
Mexican loan as security.
HUGHES GETS WELCOME.
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Sept 1.1.-—
Charles Evans Hughes arrived here
today and received a vigorous wel
come.
FORD FIGHTS BACK.
WASQINGTON, D. C., Sept. 12.—
Ford, unflinching in his position,
filed a defiant answer to the libel
suit of the National Security League
today.
The sensational spech delivered
by Maura was vigorously applauded
by the conservatives. Maura‘s most
sensational declaration in a vigor
ous war speech said that it was im
possible for Spain very much longer
to maintain its neutrality and iso
lation required of the nation in or
der to maintain the friendship of
the Allies. The Allies were too
exacting.

in the reported speech of ex-Premier
Maura in Madrid. The sentiments
of the King are strongly pro-ally
while Spain itself is divided into
two factions, the masses sympathiz
ing with the Allies, the nobles and
aristocrats with the Germans. In an
interview some time ago King Al
fonso told an American newspaper
correspondent that only he and “the
cannaille”, supported the Allies in
the war, the rest were pro-German.
PARIS, Sept. 12.—Faint inter

servative sentiment in Spain.
