Germans Repulse British
Their Pozieres Attacks
BERLIN, Sept. 11.—Great Brit
ish attacks near Pozieres and Gin
chy were all of them repulsed by
the Germans today. The British
are still holding their gains near
Longueval.
LONDON, Sept. 11.—Except that
the Germans made several unsuc
cessful efforts to capture the British
gains at Ginchy and Moquette farm,
the operations on the Somme today
were unimportant. The counters ot
the Germans were all held in check
without effort.
BERLIN, Sept. 11.—The German
General Staff regards without any
misgiving the slight advances which
have been made in the Somme sec
tor by the British and French
troops. The point is made that
these operations are wholly without
any strategical value and for that
reason are negligible.
The ease with which a very much
inferior, numerically, German force
is holding back the drives of the
French and British is the subject
of very well satisfied comment by
all military critics.
PARIS, Sept. 11.—The French of
fensive on the Verdun region still
continues, the French making addi
tional gains in the vicinity of Fort
Douamont today. The Germans are ;
holding Douamont with great tena
city and the French artillerists are
subjecting these positions to a heavy
fire. The French success is remark
able.
VON BOTHMER FRUSTRATES
EFFORTS CAPTURE HALICSZ
I
BERLIN, Sept. 11.—Again Gen
eral von Bothmer has checked the
Russians when the latter had reach
ed the high point of success. The
German general by a masterly flank
ing stroke has frustrated the at
tempt of the Russians to capture
Halisz, and has severely defeated
that section of the Russian forces
taking twelve hundred officers and
men prisoners and dividing their
force badly in the Dneister. With
von Bothmer still driving hard at
the wings of the Russian force their
tendency to crumple is clearly ob
servable. The Russians will only
gain Halicz after their losses reach
a collosal magnitude, if they ever
do take the city which now seems
doubtful.
ROME, Sept. 11.—The Italian
troops have recovered their lost
ground on the Adige front. After
driving into the Austrian trenches
no less than four times they finally
held them.
ROME, Sept. 11.—It is now an
nounced as a matter of the policy
of the royal Italian government that
Italy is determined to institute a
blacklist similar in scope to that of
Enland. It is understood that an
agreement to do this has been prac
tically arranged among all the En
tente Allies.
Feeling against Germany is grow
ing, mainly on account of savage at
tacks by cartoonists and writers.

on the possibility of interested Am

trial and commercial conditions
throughout the southern republic.
All reports which have been given
out show that the Mexican and Am
erican commissioners have since the
very first session adopted a spirit
of very friendly frankness which
has greatly helped in the discussions
from the start.
The matter of damages, an enorm
ous number of claims for which
have been filed with the United
States State Department, is one
that will also be threshed out today
or tomorrow, although all admit
that this is a very delicate and
serious matter.
Lane was asked how many Amer
ican Arms are still doing business
in Mexico but replied to the inter
viewer that he really did not know,
and doubted if any figures were ob
tainable on the subject.
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
PROBES BAKERY SCANDAL
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—The United
States district Attorney and the City
Council is investigating the bakery
situation which is getting very
serious, a general rise in prices be
ing followed by a general decrease
in the size of the loaf. The house
wives are urged to weigh their
loaves as purchased, and thus assist
In the investigation which may have
important results in the way of gett
ing after those who are breaking
the laws and cheating the public.
The bakers protest that they have
no option but to increase the price
of the loaf as the situation in the
Allies Begin Drive
North South Bulgaria
LONDON, Sept. 11.—The prepara
tions. upon the part of the Allies for
a general attack upon Bulgaria
from the north and from the south
are practically complete. The
southern movement is now well un
der way. Paris reports a British of
fensive in northeastern Macedonia
where they crossed the Struma river
about forty miles northeast of Ma
cedonia. Very heavy fighting is
proceeding in this section.
BUCHAREST, Sept.
11.- -The
Russo-Rumanian forces are now en
tering the Bulgar territory Rom
Dobrudscha. The fighting in this
section still continues with the Bui
gars offering a detremined resist
ance to every inch of ground yield
ed. The mortality in this fighting
will reach an unusually higii record
on account of the bitterness between
the contending forces. The Bulgars
are fighting with desperation.
ATHENS, Sept. 11.—The mobili
zation of the Greek army is now oe
ing carried out with vigor. The at
tempted revolt by German inspired
agents is practically suppressed and
the situation is being accepted. The
King returned from Larissa today,
but he appeared to be greatly de
pressed by the situation. It is un
derstood that the Queen will leave
shortly for Germany should Greece
insist upon declaring war against
the Central powers.

RUMANIANS REGARD THE
WAR WITH DISSATISFACTION
BERLIN, Sept. 11.—The Cologne
Gazette reports that violent anti-war
demonstrations have taken place at
Bucharest, indicating that the entry
of the nation into the war with the
Entente Powers is anything but po
pular. The great mob of Ruman
ians had practical control of the
streets of the capital for a consid
erable time and were only Anally
dispersed by a huge display of
force.
In the demonstration the Ruman
iaiis demanded that the declaration
of war against Germany and the all
iance with the Entente be repudi
ated. The Premier was bitterly de
nounced also by the people.
VIENNA, Sept 11.—The Austrian
Foreign Minister told the corre
spondent of the Associated Press
that the country was very tired ot
the war, but they would not accept
the peace which would be offered on
the Allies terms. He also told the
representatives of the A. P. that the
Austrians were very far from
through with the fighting and not
withstanding the great loss and the
heavy financial drains which a con
tinuance of the war would mean,
the victory of the Central Powers
he regarded as assured.
BERLIN, Sept. 11.—The Emperor
intends to leave shortly for the west
front. He only returned two days
ago from the Volhynia front.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—Governor
Whitman sayB that the strike situa
tion in New York is very serious,
but that he is keeping closely in
touch with it and has establishea

ing a general strike call in New
York. They have organized express
ly to meet this contingency and are
preparing the details systematically.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—The in
dustrial situation is truly alarming
to the business interests. Private
committees have been interviewing
the leading traction heads with a
view of forcing a settlement, but
they will grant nothing. It is in
sisted that the discipline of car
operations require that the men re
pudiate their unions. The traction
companies admit that car operation
is a failure, but they are promised
more strike breakers and they de
clare that they will have things back
to normal in a short while.
NEW YORK, eSpt. 11.—All ar
rangements for striking on all in
dustrial undertakings allied with
the traction interests have bee-i
completed and a general call out is
expected at any time. This call will
paralyze New York industries.
CENTRAL SPAN BRIDGE
COLLAPSES, THIRTY KILLED
MONTREAL, Sept. 11.—A shock
ing disaster occurred on the Que
bec bridge today when the central
span weighing five thousand tons
broke through the false work this
morning while being placed in posi
tion. Thirty are known to have
been killed, but the total number
of casualties has not yet been deter
mined.
The work was this very morning
heralded in the newspapers as the
world’s greatest engineering feat.
This is however the second casualty
in this work. In 1907 a portion
collapsed killing seven.
