GRIMSBY, Eng. Sept 7.-(Via London.
Nearly 300 persons rescued from the VIII
son line Runo by trawlers when the
steamship sank in the North sea, victim
of contact with a mine at o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, were landed at Grimsby
and Hull on Sunday. The prompt work
of four trawlers. the Silanion, st. Rethon.
Cameo and Prince Victor, saved the lives
Of nearly every person on board. The
Wilson line official says that all the crew
and that all but twenty-seven of the pas
sengers are safe IN this port. The Silanion
picked up 12S survivors-practically all
it could hold The Cameo saved nearly
100 and the other two trawlers seventy.
The Runo was bound from Hull on the
long trip across the North sea to Arch
angel. and its passengers were mostly
Russians from America, who were re-
turning to Russia with their women and
children. The boat hit the mine in mid
afternoon Saturday in fine weather. The
explosion was terrific and large portion
Of the ship was scattered while several
passengers were injured and one killed.
1t was extremely fortunate that the
little fleet of four trswlers homeward
bound. with their holes full OF fish,
chanced to be passing almost within hail
ing distance Of the Runo at that moment,
The trawlers, regardless OF the cpnse-
quences TO themselves, in view OF the
possibility that there were other mines
! in the neighborhood, pushed through the
wreckage and picked up sailors and pas
sengers who were clinging to sticks and
RATS. These were people who, in the
first panic, had jumped overheard or had
been blown into the sea. Others were
gathered from the decks of the fast-snk-
ing ship
The Runo, after settling by the heaf
somewhat, remained IN that position fol

BRITISH CRUISER IN

Warrior Stranded as Result of En-
gagement with Cohen, Under
Ottoman Control.
ONE ESCAPED FROM BosPHoRUs
Possibility of Conflict Between Brit
ish and Turkish ships Indicated
by Brief Message Received
from Berlin.

, WASHINGTON. Sept. IA Berlin wire
less to the German embassy says:
British cruiser Warrior stranded: prob
ably as result OF fight with cruiser
Cohen while escaping from the Bos-
phorus." -~ tr-.- -..-.'
The dispatch contains nothing to am
plify or explain It's message. There was
nothing to indicate which cruiser was
escaping from the Bosphorus or what had
happened TO the Cohen. The indefinite
terms of; the dispatch aroused added in
terest because Of the fact that the Cohen,
with the Breslau, another German ship,
after being chased by hostile ships at the
beginning of the war, took refuge in the
Dardanelles and were later reported taken
over by the Turkish navy, although il
was understood a German crew remained
aboard
The latter feature opened the possibility
OF a conflict between British and Turkish
ships. In view OF the threatened entry
of Turkey into the European conflict by
a declaration, OF war on Russia. this pos
slDTity was regarded with added i'm
portance.

PARIS, Sept. 7.--C12:O5 p. mD
In the fighting which Is going on
today to the east and northeast OF
Paris, the German forces have their
backs toward the capital. The
French troops are harassing their
march. From time to time the
Germans turn and engage the
French at their backs. French
shells fall continually in the Ger
man rear.
Observers consider that it is OBJ
vious that the Germans could not
attack Paris while the French
armies were intact and are continu-
ing their wide turning movement
under perllous circumstances.
The Red Cross surgeon and am
bulance corps in Paris had received
instructions that when they heard
firing to go in the direction of the

PARISIANS HEAR THUNDER OF THE GUNS
War Summary

A news dispatch from Berlin
says that a battle is being fought
on the French center from Rethel
to Verdun. with the opposing
forces on almost even terms.
Reports from other sources,
while failing to reveal the pur-
pose OF the German strategy in
removing a great force to the
southeast Of Paris, indicates a de-
termination TO deal the allies a
crushing blow before the COM
plete investment of the French
capital is attempted. German
pressure on the left wing of the
allies has been withdrawn and ap-
parently the main strength Of the
invaders has been thrown against
the enemy's center and right,
II is officially announced in
Paris that a general engagement
is being fought east OF that city
today and that the Germans have
begun to retire at that point,
Official reports from Petro-
grad state that the Russian troops
are gradually closing IN on the
strong fortress of Przemyl, fifty
miles west OF Lemberg, and that
this last remaining stronghold in
Galicia will soon surrender or be
aiken by assault.
Ii is stated officially at Ant
werp that the Belglans have re-
pulsed the German attack against
that city.
According to news dispatch
from Rome members OF the
Italian socialist reform party
have formally declared Italian
neutrality.
Two thousand Americans
many OF them destitute, were in
line when the offices OF tha
American relief committee in
London were opened today. The
committee is hard put to 1t to af'
ford prompt relief.
1t is estimated that It will bC
another month before all the
American refugees are able t.

LONDON. Sept THE German plan or
campaign is for the moment a mystery.
The great sweep through Belgium -the
plans Of northern France with constant
reaching on the west to turn the left
flank of the allies was understandable 10
and unforeseen, even though the allies re-
fused to believe the Germans could move
so far and fast
Yesterdays bulletins stating that the
main German army Of invasion from the
north was turning away from Paris and
driving toward the south and east ap-
peared to be confirmed and a theory that
finds supporters is that the German pur-
pose is now TO strike through the center
Of the French army. leaving Paris par
italy invested from the north and crush
the main French force by cooperation
with another German army advancing
from Lorraine
The news that the Germans are at
taclsing the fortress OF Nancy and that
Emperor william with his staff are at
tending operations tends to fortify that
theory.
British Give Account.
The British war office made public yes
terday a more complete account of the
operations OF the British army than II
has given heretofore. While this bulletin
was far from satisfying the eagerness OF
the people for detailed description OF
the parts In the different regiments
played in the heavy and continuous fight
ing II sent thrill OF pride through the
kingdom.
"Our men have established a personal
ascendsncy over the Germans and are
conscious OF the fact that with anything
like even numbers the result would not
be doubtful says Sir John French
comma nd or n-chief OF the expeditionary
forces. The field marshal ascribes this
success TO superior training and intel
ligenee which has enabled the British q
use the open formation. He expresses q
poor opinion of the German intantry'i
shooting as compared with that OF the
British and claim that the British
calvary do as they like with tn,
enemy until they are confronted by thric'
their number. He also says that th'

posed by three or four times It's strength
