WAR NEWS YESTERDAY WAS VERY ONE SIDED
Rumanians Capture A
City In Transylvania
BUCHAREST, Sept. 6.—The Ru
manian War Ministry announces
that the troops captured the town
of Sepsi in Transylvania after
severe fighting with the Austrians
in which the losses were large.
■Eight hundred Austrian prisoners
■were taken. This town which is
north of Kronstadt and with which
it has rail connections is of great
strategic importance and its capture
is received with great satisfaction.
All the Vienna reports of a Ruman
ian defeat in the Ostrova section are
positively denied. The Rumanians
are also advancing in that section.
BUCHAREST, Sept. 6.—Fierce
fighting is now taking place in the
Dobridja sections where the Bulgars
were attempting an invasion of Ru
manian territory. Reinforced by
the Russians the attacking force
was repelled and fighting is now
taking place along the frontier.
Further reinforcements of Rus
sians are arriving.
The bitterness between the Rus
sians and the Bulgarian troops is
very marked, the Slavs refusing to
salute Bulgar prisoner officers
when they passed and have no in
tercourse with them of any kind.
The Russians regard the Bulgars
as traitorous Slavs and their fight
ing is marked with a peculiar bitter
ness notwithstanding the intimate
race relationship of the two.
French Artillery Fire
Drives Back Counters
PARIS, Sept. 6.—Practically all
day the Germans made desperate
efforts by counter attacks to re-gain
some of yesterday’s lost ground, but
without success. The French bar
rage fire repulsed every German at
tack which was greatest in the
vicinity of Deniecourt and Verny.
This afternoon the German artil
lery is very active north of the
Somme. It is trying to open a way
for German counter assaults which
may drive back the British from the1
ground lately conquered.
The Germans also delivered a
series of attacks upon Fleurv vill
age, in a most determined manner
trying to recapture this position
which has so often changed hands.
The French had improved their de
fenses for the past few days and in
consequence were prepared for
these attacks, meeting them with a
gruelling maoiiine and shell fire that
caused enormous losses, besides re
pulsing all efforts of the Germans
to advance.
PARIS, Sept. 6.—All arrange
ments for celebrating the battle of
the Marne which marked the failure
of the Germans to reach Paris are
completed and the anniversary ce
lebration will begin on next Sunday
according to the official arrange
ments. Only civilians will take pare
in the celebration according to the
orders of the Commander in chief.
Xo troops will officially take part.
SLAVS MAKE FURTHER SAINS
EAST GALICIA FIGHTING
PETROGRAD, Sept. 6.—The Teu
ton offensive Is crumbling to pieces
in Volhynia where the Russians are
now pressing with desperate energy.
Eastern Galicia is the scene of suc
cessful Slav operations, five thou
sand being taken with the capture
of Gorodecka southeast of Lemberg
which fell to General Sakharoff to
day after a bloody fight.
The Germans are retiring from
before their Kovel lines with a ter
rific artillery fire marking their ef
forts to withdraw unattacked.
BERLIN, Sept. 6.—The General
Staff admits that supremacy in
numbers has resulted in the retire
ment of the counter offensive under
Archduke Charles who has been
pressed back between the Zlota,
Lipa and Dneister rivers. The
army is not regarded as being in
danger.
LONDON, Sept. 6.—The most
reasuring reports are being re
ceived today from practically all w*r
zones, the Russian, Rumanian, Brit
ish and French field headquarters
I all reporting gains, most of rrhica
are admitted to be corrett in re
luctant admissions on the part of
the Te i on war offices. The onh'
place wlure heavy fighting of an
undecided nature is reported to be
proceeding is beyond the Js.o.zc
where for some reason the Austrian
resistance has been stiffened by the
arrival of reinforcements.
The Italians however are more
than holding their own before this
counter attack according to Rome
dispatches this evening.
BRITISH STRIKE ANOTHER
BLOW ON WEST FRONT
LONDON, Sept. 6.—One of the
most desperate battles ever fought
in the present war was one today
of short duration when the Ger
mans, massed for a counter attack,
at the cessation of the Teuton
bombardment of the British lines
dashed forward to attack. They
were met when half way to the
British lines by a weighty charge ot
British infantry which met them in
a staggering hand to hand fight be
tween the trenches, while British
reinforcements held in readiness
poured forward at the same time.
The Germans gave way and their
attack crumbled while the British
struck a stunning blow taking Cery
and driving the Germans clear of
Leuze wood which they had well
fortified.
The fighting continues.
PARIS, Sept. 6.—The German
counters, very heavy this forenoon,
crumbled before the Allies attacks
north of the Somme when the con
centrated attack of the Germans
was for them disastrously turned
by an unexpected attack of British
troops. The fighting was desperate
and bloody, both sides admittedly
losing many men in a violent mid
field bayonetting until the Germans
were overborne. Some of the Ger
man prisoners, of whom a thousand
were taken today claim that by some
mistake, German reserves had fail
ed to assist in the first forward
movement and that for this reason
the attacking party was caught by
the greater weight.
Fighting continues along a twen
ty-five mile front tonight.
SENATOR OWENS SILL
NOW BEFORE SENATE
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept. 6.—
Today the Senators are having
some fun although the amusement
is unconscious for the most part,
-while the humor is there just the
Bame. The solons are discussing the
Owen’s Corrupt Practices Act which
aims at the curtailment of campaign
expenses and the prevention of
fraud in elections. The Senators,
who began this discussion thiB
morning, are still at it and pretend
ing to take the act most seriously
while they make speeches would do
honor to a bible meeting, so elevat
ed is the tone of just indignation
at the little customs of campaigns.
GRKAT SHOW DREAM TONIGHT.
Marguerite Clark, the dainty rival
of Mary Pickford appears in her
best photo-drama tonight in “The
Goose Girl” a five part plctorization
of Harold M’Grath's famous novel.
The story deals with Count von
Herbeck, (Chancellor to Grand
Duke of Ehrenstein) and his
daughter. His wife dying asks him
to make a great lady of their
daughter. With this purpose in view
he arranges with a gypsy to abduct
the ^ufihter of the Grand Duke.
Me then sends his own daughter
away intending latter to discover
her, and claim she is the Grand
JDnke’s missing child. The little
girl of the Duke is rescued from
the gypsy and raised by a farmer,
and his wife, who make her their
“Goose Girl" and is latter won by a
prince, and her real Identity discov
ered. It is one of the best pictures
pver seen in the Dream.
One thing however is certain and
that is that they can make all the
remarks they want on the Owen's
bill, satisfied that it is all waste of
time, for all recognize the fact thai
the bill will never come to a vote
in the Senate.
ft is admitted in administration
circlesc that a protest may be ex
pected from the Allied nations con
cerning the amendment to the re
venue bill, when the same becomes
law. It is not likely that any offi
cial protest. or even official cogni
zance will be taken of the amend
ment hitting at the Allies interfer
ence with mails and their black list
before that time.
The work of rushing things to a
finish is seen in the committee
rooms. The Owens bili is practical
ly as good as dead this session.

SCHOFIELD SCATHINGLY SAILS
INTO GRIGSBY’S RECORD
ry a*
Last night the most remarkable
feature of the Republican rally was
the speech of Geo D. Schofield
wherein the republican candidate at
tacked Geo B. Grigsby upon his re
cord as an anti-labor union prose
cuting attorney In this district.
There was no side tracking or Bide
stepping. Attorney Schofield indulg
ing in no generalizations in this
matter in which he was scathingly
succinct and clear.
The meeting was called to order
by Dr. Chace who introduced Judge
Lomen as chairman of the evening.
Judge Lomen made a short address
upon the party what it stood for
and stated why party politics in his
estimation should prevail. He in
troduced Judge Reed candidate! for
the House of Representatives. In
his address Judge Heed mentioned
the qualifications for a representa
tive that he be honest, desires to
serve the people etc. Transporta
tion he regarded as the most im
portant matter in the Peninsula. A
pioneer’s Home was an essential; re
form in laws of community proper
ty etc. Labor should be adequately
protected and stated that a law
should be enacted to protect labor
by giving a lien on all property.
A. A. Allan was always a repub
lican. He stood for better roads,
harbor etc. His short speech was
loudly applauded.
Andy Anderson said that he was
an Alaskan and a republican, he
wanted the Second Division to have
its share of appropriations. He
thought they ought to elect a man
who has an interest in the country
and not one who intended to leave
it.
After dilating upon the necessity
of party politics, Geo. D. Schofield
sailed right into Grigsby. He said
that he was amused at the demo
cratic meeting at the speech of Sul
zer and Grigsby. Grigsby came
here himself and the public career
of a man is public property. He
was a carpet bagger who came with
a commission in his pocket and was
a republican. He then referred to
his own interest in this community,
but soon returned to his rival can
didate referring to Grigsby’s anti
union persecution of the Longshore
men in 1905, when Grigsby in the
interest of Cap Johnson whose pri

HUNGARIAN SESSION IS
NOTHING BUT RIOTOUS
LONDON, Sept. 6.—Yesterday’s
session of the Hungarian Diet ac
cording to Budapesth admissions
was the most stormy ever held.
When Premier Tihmia rose to speak
he was met hy frequent interrup
tions.
The reports say that pacificist
members of the Hungarian diet
were guilty of disgraceful conduct of
the most disorderly type, resulting
in the session having finally to be
brought to an abrupt halt and the
diet adjourned indefinitely contrary
to the constitutional usage for
that reason.
The session had been disturbed
by clamorous speeches wherein the
Hungarians claimed that they were
being sacrificed to Teuton commer
cial ambitions, all of which state
ments occasioned no end of dis
order. These disorders had been In
progress several hours when Prem
ier Tihmia who had been attending
a protracted cabinet meeting enter
ed the Hall. Immediately the angry
members rose in their seats, shout
ing insult and crying Revolution
cuting attorney, endeavored to rail
road unionmen to the penitentiary.
“I charge Geo. B. Grigsby with
using his office as assistant district
attorney in the interest of his re
tainer as Johnson’s private attorney
to railroad dozens of union men to
the penitentiary”, and he charged
that many of the unionists would
have been railroaded by perjuries
like one Horace Bell whom Grigsby
refused to prosecute because Bell
was Johnson’s stoolpigeon, were it
not for him (Schofield). He laughed
at the notion of his being a corpora
tion attorney and defied any person
to show such was the case from his
record. He said the democrats were
victims of a First Division plot to
elect the Governor’s friend J. H.
Cobb and they would not support
Grigsby. He concluded with an
eloquent portrayal of Alaska’s
future.
at the government leader who took
his seat unmoved. When he later
arose to address the house the same
riotous conduct was noticeable, so
frequent and so general became the
interruptions that the Premier was
Anally unable to make himself
heard. A threat was made to clear
the assembly, but finally while pan
demonium reigned the Diet adjourn

bitter, since the entry of Rumania,
against Austria.
FIRST MEETING
IN NEW LONDON
NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 6.—
The Mexican peace Commission ar
rived here today and held its first
informal session shortly after lunch
hour in the quarters prepared for
them at the Hotel Griswold. There
was little business done, merely a
matter of getting acquainted in an
informal manner with a general
supervision of credentials.
The length of the session will not
be so protracted as had been ima
gined although it is an open secret
that the state department officials
have scheduled quite an extensive
campaign of discussion for the
members.
