Rumanians Defeat The
Austrians Big Battle
LONDON, Sept. 3.—The Ruman
ian troops after a five day battle
signally defeated the Austrian forces
capturing Orsova. The capture of
Orsova is of great strategic import
ance as it opens up the heart ot
Austria to attack, threatens the
Belgrade railroad to Constantinople
thus menacing the Teutonic commu
nications two hundred and forty
miles south to Greece, and cuts off
Bulgaria from its chief source ot
munition supplies.
The Rumanians are now prepar
ing to cross the Danube to invade
northeast Bulgaria and North east
Servia.
VIENNA, Sept. 3.—The Ruman
ian troops have captured the city of
Orsova entering Austria-Hungary
through Iron Gate. The War Office
admits that the loss is a serious one,
but the enemy was fiercely resisted
in a five day battle and their losses
were very heavy.
The Austrian trops have retired
to the west bank at Kerns.
The Rumanians were assisted by
a number of Russians in the fight
ing which took place near Alt Or
sova for the possession of that
place.
The Rumanians are now taking
possession of the Austrian forts ac
cording to airmen to protect a cross
ing of the Danube.

ALLIES GAIN AND
LOSE WEST FRONT
LONDON, Sept. 3.—Sir Douglas
Haig reports that the Germans
have been repulsed severely north
of. Delville woods and have again
been forced to relinquish, their hold
ings in that section to the British,
all the gains made in their attacks
Thursday night having been again
lost.
The British are carrying on a con
tinuous interchange of .attacks and
counter attacks along the entire
line, witht he advance being main
tained, slowly and steadily.
PARIS, Sept. 3.—The Germans
have re-occupied the trenches taken
from them at Estress on the Somme
after concentrating the flower ot
their armies on the west for a terr
ific night attack. Their losses were
heavy.
PARIS, Sept. 3.—The fighting at
Verdun now is confined for the past
three days to the French infantry
attacks with the French slowly driv
ing their lines back notwithstand
ing the German opposition.
BERLIN, Sept. 3.—There is no
lull in the fighting on the Somme
attacks and counter attacks, day
and night, testing the endurance ot
the troops. The losses of the Allies
are large. They regained the po
sitions north of Delville but paid for
it dearly in loss of life.
WILL BE NO RUSH TO
TEST THE NEW LAW
'
CHICAGO, eSpt. 3.—The railroad
company officials announce today
that there will be no precipitate le
gal action taken until the Adamson
bill Is thoroughly investigated by
the railroad attorneys. The latter
however have from their first exa
mination of the document declared
that there will be no trouble getting
it declared unconstitutional.
The companies have no desire
however to make it possibly an elec
tion issue as doubtless the demo
crats would surely do, did the com
panies begin an immediate war upon
it. That it will be tested is cer
tain.
President Ripley, speaking for the
railroad presidents, said he was
sorry that the eight hour demand
had been settled. He wanted to
bring this matter to a show-down
as they wished to definitely prove
to the brotherhoods that neither

now or at any time could they con
trol the business of the roads. The
law will be surely tested, said
Ripley.
Ripley makes the extraordinary
statement that the strike would
not have seriously hampered a
single road ; that every road had
competent men ready to run trains.
to operate them and to handle all
traffic. There might have been
some slight inconvenience at first,
but it would have been short lived.
The Brotherhood men do not yet
know their weakness and that is a
pity, in the estimation of this com
pany head.
President Signs BUI
Early Sunday Morning
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—
“Will meet you at eight” is one of
the cryptic messages which the
brotherhood presidents flashed to
the subordinate lodges this morning
calling off the strike. The message
went to every brotherhood lodge
and is admittedly the word that
countermands the strike order for
tomorrow.
The brotherhood presidents state
that President Wilson signed the
law this morning and that they are
well satisfied and that their strike
orders have been all rescinded be
yond any possible chance of being
carried out.
They now say that the strike order
would have been obeyed by at least
four hundred thousand men and
that the tie-up would have been
complete.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—
The railroad company presidents
heard without any emotion the fact
that the President signed the bill.
Only a few had remained over, the
rest having departed when it was.
seen that the bill would surely pass
with the prestige of the administra
tion behind it to shove it along.
They are not inclined to make
any statement, but it is understood
that they will gather in Chicago to
discuss the situation among them
selves with their managers.

ZEPPELINS RAID THE
BRITISH EAST COUNTIES
LONDON, Sept. 5.—Zeppelins
last night again raided the east
coast counties, one of the big dirig
ibles dropping in flames to the
ground a total loss and all the crew
dead or dying. The machine was
brought down by an aero gun.
The squadron did considerable
damage and dropped an enormous
number of bombs but so far the
casualties have not been officially re
ported.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—There is
reason to believe that the raid by
Zeppelins last night over the Eng
lish east coast counties did unusual
damage and caused an unusual
number of deaths, as the reports are
reaching here with the marks of the
censor applied with great severity.
THE HAGUE, Sept. 3.—The first
British built Zeppelin was tested in
a flight over the North Sea and ap
peared to be a success, according to
the steamer “Vlissingen” which ar
rived here and which saw some ot
the tests. There are no official re
ports of this new departure upon the
part of Great Britain. It is under
stood that Vickers and Co. are build
ing Zeppelins or rigid dirigibles of a
type resembling Zeppelins for the
British government.
The only admission that any such
vessels were being constructed was
one made by the Minister of the
Navy, Balfour, some time ago in the
House of Commons.

ADVANCING ON LEMBERG
PETROGRAD, Sept. 3.—Two
marked movements are noticeable
today in the eastern war zone, the
Russians advancing upon Lemberg
and fighting all the time a retiring
Teuton army, capturing today five
thousand men. They are also en
gaged upon the Hungarian frontier
SENATE PASSED BILL
DN PARTY LINE-UP
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2.—
The Senato today passed the eight
hour law for railroads by a vote ot
48 to 28. Garretson and- the rail
road conferees were present when
the vote was taken, as were also
most of the railroad presidents.
The railroad brotherhood presi
dents are now preparing cancella
tion of the Labor Day strike order.
The President will sign the bill at
ten o’clock Sunday. He passed
through here on his way to St,
Louis democratic headquarters to
day, from his summer home.
The Senate lined up on a strictly
administrative basis, rejecting the
amendment of Senator Underwood
to empower the Interstate Com
merce Commission to fix the hours
and wages of the employees. They
also rejected the important La
Follete amendment which sought to
keep in force the present maximum
labor hours on railroads at sixteen
hours continuous employment.
Senator La Follette was the only
republican who voted for the meas
ure, while Senators Hardwicke and
Clarke were the only two demo- (
crats who opposed it. These two
democrats also, by the way, bitter- i
ly fought the Child Labor Bill and
where all the enemy’s counters have
been repulsed.
The fighting in Volhynia remains
practically unchanged.
BERLIN, Sept. 3.—The German
counters have compelled the Rus
sians to retire in a disorderly con
dition southwest of Lutsk with tht.

blows against the retreating enemy.

LONDON, Sept. 3.—Papers are;

crepancy in the reports of the Rus
sians and the Germans as to the

the Germans claim that the Slavs,

It is believed that the reports,
are exaggerated upon both sides.
