    POWERS WARNPORTE
TURKEY INFORMED ABOLITION
OF TREATY NOT ACCEPTED.
MINERS MAKE STATEMENT
Denial of Recognition Uncalled for
8ay Butte Workmen—Employer
to Be Neutral.
Paris.—The Rome correspondent of
the Havas agency says that dispatches
from Constantinople announce that
the foreign ambassadors, including
the German representative, have in
formed the Turkish government that
the powers could not accept aboli
tions of the treaty rights accorded
foreigners.
To Recover Rights.
Washington.— Rustem Bey, the
Turkish ambassador, explained to
Secretary Bryan that Turkey's abro
gation of its conventions and capitu
lations granting special privileges to
powers was a step taken merely to re
cover its national rights.
The ambassador pointed out that
the effect of the action was not to
terminate the treaties of 1830 and
1862 between the United States and
Turkey, but to remove those extra
territorial rights which the American
government has enjoyed under a most
favored naton clause.
State department officials studied
the treaties and Turkish laws care
fully, but it was not determined what
the attitude of the United States
would be. It was thought that the
American government would take the
initiative of the other powers before
entering into diplomatic, negotiations.
Discusses Questions.
Discussing Informally questions
arising out of the abrogation of con
ventions the Turkish ambassador la
ter suggested that an interesting sit
uation might arise with reference to
Egypt. Here, he thought. Great Brit
ain probably would welcome the re
moval of the capitulations as it left
British control of Egypt unencumber
ed by special privileges to other for
eigners. He declined to discuss the
effect of Turkey’s action on the Eu
ropean war, but emphatically denied
that it was intended as a pretext for
war.
Mine Worker* Reply to Operator*.
Butte, Mont.—The Butte Mine Work
ers’ union issued a statement through
its executive committee in reply to
the statement of the mining com
panies of Butte, that recognition
would be denied either the Western
Federation of Miners or the Butte
Mine Workers’ Union.
“So far as the Butte Mine Workers’
union knows,” says the statement,
“the companies that signed the state
ment denying recognition were not
called upon to take sides in the con
troversy; on the contrary, representa
tives of the all-inclusive mining octo
pus, known as the ’Anaconda Copper |
^dining Co.,’ assured the executive
committee of the Butte Mine Workers’
union that they stood positively neu
tral and would take no hand in the
matter of the jurisdiction of the un
derground workers. How well they
fulfilled their policy, as stated to the
executive' committee, has been well
exemplified in the activities of this
company during the last ten days.”
The contention of the companies
that recognition is to be denied both
faction® because the radical action
taken by the mine workers was such
that mining operations could not be
conducted 1b denied, the mine workers
declaring the accusations of the opera
tions “are not specific and there has
been a vast army of good, experienced
miners ready to carry on mining
operations.”
Assigns Villa to Tehuantepec.
Mexico City:—Francisco Villa, re
cently appointed general of division
by General Carranza, will be assigned
to the army destined for the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec. This announcement
was made by General Carranza in a
statement which declares Villa is in
“entire harmony with and complete
subordination to” the present govern
ment in Mexico.
Commandeers Autos.
Paris.—The government has order
ed the commandeering of all automo
biles for the purpose of transporting
troops and munitions to the front. The
commissariat of the allied armies is
working without a hitch.
Registers Under American Flag.
New York.—Formal announcement
.was made by the United Fruit Co.
that its twenty passenger and five
freight vessels had been transferred
from British to American registry.
Russians Bombard Koenigsbarg.
London.—A dispatch to the Post
from Copenhagen states that reports
have been received there from Stettin
that the Russians are bombarding
Koenigsberg, the strong German fort
ress in east Prussia, and that part of
the city is in flames.
Submarine Sunk Pathfinder.
London.—The war bureau admits
that the British cruiser Pathfinder,
which was sunk off the coast of Scot
land, was destroyed by a German sub
marine.
Shelling of Belgrade Renewed.
London.—The bombardment of Bel
grade has been renewed with in
creased fury, according to a Nish dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph com
pany. Considerable d image has been
4one. The Servian batteries are reply,

has decisively defeated Germany. This

PLUCKY BELGIANS DEFENDING THEIR COUNTRY
BERLIN ADMITS
CHECK AT PARIS;
TROOPSRETREAT
Official Announcement Made at
Berlin That the Forces of
the Empire Retired.
ENEMY HAD THE ADVANTAGE
Numerical Superiority of 'the Allies
Compelled the Backward Movement
—Events of a Week of Warfare
Summarized—What Will Probably
Follow the Change in the Situation
of the Opposing Forces.
The retreat of the Germans who at
tacked the allied- forces between
Meaux and Montmirail in France was
officially admitted by Berlin. The re
treat of the Germans was attributed
to the numerical superiority of the
allies.
On Saturday it was asserted in dis
patches from London that Thermonde,
Belgium, a town of 150,000 inhabi
tants. wae almost destroyed by Ger
man troops. Only the town hall and
one church are intact. The troops or
dered the people to leave, taking the
sick and wounded with them. The
soldiers then soaked the buildings
with kerosene and set them afire. The
news was brought to London by
Jacques Obels, a courier for the Daily
News between Brussels and London,
who passed the night with the German
soldiers amid the ruins.
Berlin Garrison Loses Heavily.
According to a Munich report re
ceived at Paris the Berlin garrison
alone has lo6t 42,000 men killed or
wounded in the war thus far. The
Munich report evidently refers to men
of the Berlin garrison who went to
the front at the outbreak of the war.
French Minister of War Millerand
ordered prefects throughout France to
arrest all men liable to military duty
not already in service. By this^means
the government expects to get at least
200,000 more troops.
German Retreat Continues.
Victories for the allies on both the
left and center before Paris are re
ported in official bulletins from the
French war office. Nowhere along the i
entire line since the battle started had
a reverse been suffered by the allied
armies, was the claim.
An official communique issued by
the French war office says that the
Anglo-French troops crossed the
Marne, and after fighting battles with
the German right wing at Ferte-Sous
Jouarre and Chateau Thierry forced
the Germans back until the ground the
Invaders lost during the ‘fighting cov
ered 40 miles.
The allies were in pursuit of the
enemy. During their advance many
prisoners and a number of guns were
taken.
There was no confirmation of the
news published in the German news
papers of the fall of Maubeuge.
A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd
received at London stated that the
Austrians had evacuated Cracow, their
strongest post in Galicia. This clears
the way for the Russian march on
Berlin.
Britain Adds to Army.
Premier Asquith asked parliament
to add another half-million men of all
ranks to the regular army. After a
short debate the motion was 'unani
mously adopted.
A correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph company sent the following
from Rome: A Vienna message states
that Archduke Frederick lost. 12,000
men in the recent Galician battles, or
one-fourth of his entire command.
Belgian Commission Arrives.
The king of Belgium’s commission,
which was sent to place before Pres
ident Wilson accounts of alleged Ger
man atrocities in Belgium and of Ger
many’s violation of Belgium’s neutral
ity arrived at New York Friday.
In the midst of the European war
Great Britain, France, Spain and
China have agreed to sign peace com
mission treaties with the United
States. One effect gt the new conven
tions is to prevent the United States
from being drawn suddenly into the
conflict. 4
Not Yet Ready for Peace.
President Wilson, in response to
inquiries, stated with great regret that
none of the warring nations of Europe
is willing to consider peace proposals
at this time. Both the president and
Mr. Bryan fear that nothing 'short of
a decisive victory by one party or
the other to the great conflict will
induce the belligerents to listen to
peace counsels.
Germans Forced Back.
The allied armies in France, accord
ing to advices from London delivered
a crushing blow to the German right
flank, which was hurled twenty-five
miles back across the Marne; French
troops resumed the offensive in Al
sace and sent the weakened German
forces backward toward the Rhine;
other French soldiers reoccupied
Luneville and forced the Germans
back to the Lorraine border, and the
army that threatened Paris was in
full retreat toward the frontier, with
the British in pursuit
German official statements claimed
that the kaiser's army has capture
the French fortress of Maubeuge and
40,000 men. This assertion was de
nied by the French, who declare the
fortress held out and was a grave
peril to the German lines of. com
munication.
Situation at Luneville.
The evacuation of Luneville, which
was announced by French newspapers,
followed an assault by the Germans on
the French position opposite. This
attack was repulsed. An oflicial com
munique from Bordeaux stated that
the French were advancing in Lor
raine.
The Germans in the district had
been directed by the crown prince in
person and later by the kaiser.
The fighting in Alsace, according to
the Journal des Debats of Paris, has
been in the neighborhood of Altkirch.
where the French resumed their offen
sive movement on September 2. The
Germans, according to this newspaper,
are in retreat toward the Rhine.
An earlier report than this, com
ing from Basel, Switzerland, was that
the Germans were evacuating Upper
Alsace in order to concentrate their
troops on the eastern border to com
bat the Russian advance.
The Germans also were said to have
evacuated Amiens, and the German
commander of the left wing was said
to be directing his retreat with the
evident intention of repassing the Bel
gian border east of Lille.
Russians Advance in Galicia.
A Petrograd report to the Mes
sagero of Rome on Friday stated that
a battle near Rawa between Russian
and Austrian armies resulted in an
overwhelming victory for the czar’s
troops after four days of bloody
fighting. It said that large numbers
of German soldiers who were fighting
with the Austrian were prisoners.
As a result of their victory, says
the dispatch, the Russians are masters
of northern Galicia, the Austrians re
tiring everywhere and evacuating
Russian Poland. This will clear the
way for the Russian advance on Ger
many through Galicia.
More Troops for Germans.
German re-enforcements estimated
at 60,000 men were advancing into
France in three columns, according
to an Ostend dispatch to the Reuter
Telegraph company of London.
Pope Benedict approached Austria
and Germany through their envoys in
Rome, and both informed the pon
tiff that they are favorably disposed
to second his efforts for peace. Th6
czar is understood to be prepared
to submit the pope's offer to the defer
ential consideration of Great Britain
and France. Pope Benedict, hopes
that his appeal may lead to an arm
istice, which would be a prelude to
peace.
The British official press bureau
says the Oceanic, the White Star liner
which was in the British service as a
converted cruiser, is a total wreck on
the north coast of Scotland. The of
ficers and crew were saved.
The German ambassador at Wash
ington admitted that in a cablegram
to President Wilson Emperor William
had protested against the use of dum
dum bullets by the allied army and
the participation in the war by Bel
gian civilians.
British Auxiliaries in Canada.
Positive confirmation of the • pres
ence in Canada of approximately 200,
000 Australian, New Zealand and In
dian soldiers was brought to New
York by passengers on the steamer
Stephano, from St. Johns, N. F.
When the Stephano left Halifax
her passengers saw the British cruis
er Niohe getting ready for sea, the
cruiser Essex taking on coal, and the
battleship Glory convoying a German
merchantman into port. The name of
the prize could not be learned by ths
passengers.
GENERAL WAR SUMMARY.
By J. L. Garvin.
(Special Correspondent.)
The change in appearance of things
before F ris, owing to the retirement
of the German trOops, officially an
nounced by the German war office, is
almost too sudden to inspire perfect
trust. The German army which ad
vanced steadily and irresistibly from
August 24 to September 2, has now.
without having fought any decisive
battle, started falling back. This move
ment continued for four consecutive
days.
We must not for one moment be
deceived. Although we do not know
what it is, some formidable counter
stroke is being executed. The Ger
man army has not yet been defeated
anywhere in the center, where the
hardest fighting has been. It is never
theless plain that the Germans have
not exerted their full force. They
must be doing something, but what
is the unknown quantity?
Several answers are given. One
suggests that the Germans have de
cided, as the least of the evils pre
sented, to force, if they can, the north
ern section of the barrier of the chain
from Verdun to Toul and especially
to reduce the former great fortress.
This would not be a solution nor any
thing like it of the main German prob
lem, but it would very much simplify
it
May Seek Verdun.
The fall of Verdun or of some of
the smaller forts to the south of It
might compel the allies to resume
their great retreat.
The recent presence of the kaiser
at Metz and near Nancy gives color to
the view that the Germans may be
hoping to batter their way through
the huge artificial bulwarks of the
French frontier along the middle
Meuse. Then the Germans would be
able to concentrate freely at least six
of their seven armies instead of five
as now for a further invasion of
France.
The biggest battle, indefinitely pro
longed, would still have to be fought
out more or less on the present lines.
Mass on Center.
Another view is that the Germans
are accumulating strength and work
ing out plans for a more tremendous
attempt on the French center at Se
zanne and Vltry in the hope of break
ing the allies’ front and cutting off at
least a considerable portion of their
forces.
A third view, and I am inclined to
share it, is that at the end of the sixth
week of the war the whole German
position to the west and to the east
is of a character too unexpected, too
disappointing, and too serious to be
dealt with hastily.
The entire change in the military
situation has only become clear to the
French general staff within the last
two days. Neither General Joffre. it
seems, nor his lieutenants. Generals
Pau, Damede. Gallienl nor Sir John
French are men to be held cheaply.
It is by no means easy to plan a he
roic stroke. Just as the fall of the
Namur fortresses forced a complete
ch«nge in the • Anglo-French plan of
defense two weeks ago and started
their retreat, so now there is reason
to believe that the failure of the Ger
man* to turn the allies' left flank or
break through their center before
Paris has compelled a complete
change in the German' offensive pro
gram.
Soon this new plan must be dis
closed. One day lost in executing any
plan by the Germans now is an ines
timable loss.
MERCHANT VESSEL IN FIGHT
Norwegian Ship in Hail of Shell*
During Naval Battle Off Hel
goland.
The London Daily Telegraph’s
Stockholm correspondent tells an ex
citing story of the Norwegian vessel
King Guttorm, which was caught in
the Helgoland sea fight.
“Suddenly,” the correspondent says.
“The King Guttorm heard a heavy ]
cannonade from the north, and a few i
minutes later the German and Brit
ish fleets turned up, steaming straight
toward her, pouring forth a fierce and
continuous fire.
“The weather was calm, but the
dense smoke from the funnels of the
warships lay like black clouds above
the sea. The King Guttorm was com
pletely surrounded and the terror
stricken crew found themselves in
the midst of a shower of shells—lit
erally a hailstorm. The crew be- j
lleved their end was near When the J
steamer's stern was struck by a pro-1
Jectfle which penetrated her hull
without, however, going through.
“Many of the King Outtorm’a plates
were penetrated, her funnel was dam
aged, and even her flagstaff was
brought down. Several members ot
the crew were wounded. The sailors
say they saw many Germans killed.
"After an hour the German war
ships withdrew from the fight and the
English soon after ceased their pur
suit”
The wounded sailors of the mer
chantmen were landed at Hull.

and too often neglected. But the kidneys
give early signals of distress that should
not be mistaken. Backache, headaches,
dizzy spells, rheumatic palm,, too fre
quent, scanty or painful urination are all
signs of kidney weakness and should not
be mistaken.
When these warnings appear, nae Doan’s
Kidney Pills, the reliable, smeceaeful,
strongly recommended kidney remedy. Help
the medicine by drinking water freely,
bold to good habits and a serious attack
of kidney disease may lie avoided. Public
testimony is the best proof of merit.
