Terrific Battle in the East.


nouncement from Petrograd indicate
that a terrific battle between Austrian
and Russian forces is in progress west
of the San river, where the Austrian
centre is desperately challenging ev-
cry inch Of Russian advance. Defeat
for the Austrians in this engagement,
military experts agree, would be ire
vocably fatal to the Austrian empire.
If the Austrian center can continue to
hold its ground, or to retreat very
slowly. then the embers of Austrian
hope may be famed to a flame again.
Germany is reported to be strain
ing every resource to relieve the Aus
trians in their extremity. The immed-
late object of Austria and Germany is
believed to be to concentrate one great
army near Cracow. The success of
military possibility.
In East Prussia the situation is con-
tradictorily reported. In Petrograd
military circles it is believed that Ger
many's plan is to strike south from
East Prussia, which Is now in her
control, and invade Russian Poland,
with Warsaw as the prime strategic
point.
Russian strategists say that If Ger
two purposes-simultane protect
East Prussia by threatening to flank
any invading force. and prevent
Russian advance from Warsaw against
the province Of Posen in Germany.
An additional effect of the success
Of the German invasion of Poland
might be to compel the withdrawal of
large Russian forces from Galicia,
thus relieving the terrible weight un-
der which Austria is staggering.
One report says that Germany is
withdrawing eight army corps, $780,
900 men) from East Prussia, in order
to use them for crushing blow
against the allies in the west. This,
however is not confirmed; and it is
counterbalanced by another report
that Germany is content with a de-
fensive position in the west, and is
preparing to strike with every ounce
Of available force in the east.
In East Prussia it Is estimated that
the German forces number at least
100000 men.
The Tribune at Rome transmits
despatching saying that the purpose of
the Germans IN entrenching their
western position Is to assume a strict
ly defensive attitude there and SEND
100000 men from the west to strike
against Russia, probably in the Aus
kaiser may be spared the complete
loss of his only ally.

Paris, Sept. 1s.-In an editorial
headed The Fortieth Day of the
War the Petit Journal analyses the
European situation in an effort to
show that reversal Of German sue
cess in France comedies with Russian,
Servian and Of Belgian victories. It
says:
The kaiser must now be hesitatins
between the painful choice of aban-

for the purpose Of defending the east

The article closes:

Conqueror, but whom the induleent
German historians will call William

British Ambassador For

ON UNITED STATES
MEXICAN POLICY
Carranza Expresses Great
Satisfaction at With
drawal of Forces

Washington, Sept. ls.-The British
ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, yester-
day called at the state department and
formally expressed his regret for the
publication of the interview attributed
| to Sir Lionel Garden, British minister
| to Mexico. criticizing the United States
for withdrawing troops from Vera Cruz.
| Sir Lionel now IN on The ocean, home
ward bound.
The interview, the ambassador ey-
plained was contrary to diplomatic
usage in general and the regulations OF
the British government, and therefore
was unauthorized.
In the absence of Secretary Bryan,
the ambassador made his explanation to
Counsellor Lansing. He explained that
inasmuch as the interview was printed
after Sir Lionel had sailed from New
York. il was impossible to obtain de-
NAL from him without sending the teyt
OF the interview by wireless. For that
reason it was likewise impossible to
make a categorical denial of the state
ment attributed to the former minister
to Mexico.
Gen. Carranza has expressed through
American Consul Sill.man his great sat
isfaetion at the withdrawal OF the Amer
lean forces at Vera Cruz, and said he
would send formal note of thanks lat
er.
The steamer Cristobal chartered as an
army transport. was scheduled to leave
New York last evening for Vera Cruz,
with the Kansan, an animal ship. The
list of transports win be completed in
Vera Cruz from Colon, where she has
lust taken a detachment OF Panama ca

posal of the roads to increase their
freight rates per cent would resppear
in due time.
There were indications that if the con-
mission permitted a reopening the roads
would contine their arguments almost en-
tirely to new conditions, which they con
tend have arisen since their original APP
peal for general increase in rates Of
) per cent was denied.

WHY THE GERMAN

JOLLY JACK TAR

1t will be remembered that the Ger
many navy, or rather the Prussian
navy, was at first officered by young
men Of the German army and Of ex-

ken of their ignorance by our wicked
midshipmen to make them do all the

quality derived from them appears to
still prevail in the German navy. Its
officers, though entirely devoted to
their business and tremendously hard
workers, are more like soldiers than
the old-fashioned seaman and, as we
stated in previous article, they have
no such traditions Of the sea behind
them as have the British and Ameri-
can sailors who seem to accomplish
more naturally what comes to the Ger
man only by strenuous effort. They
are clean, smart, athletic. hard fell

part of machine, and not particularly
enjoying it. The British or the Amer
lean bluejacket is usually a person
who disengages an impression Of re-
source, initiative, and regulated in
dependence OF mind. To put the mat
ter negatively, the German sailor fails
to convey that impression. When he
is ashore he marches the streets alone
or in company, like soldier on duty.
He does not appear to relax. If he
meets an officer he looks expectantly
