Washington, Sept. 3O.-The relations
Of the United States and Great Britain
at this time are in a stage which, while
they may not be called critical, are
causing some anxiety among admins
tration officials. The condition is due
10 the attitude Of Great Britain on the
shipment of copper in American bot
toms by way Of Rotterdam.
r. was reported. here that two YES
{ vels we're held, the Rotterdam and the
Potsdam, and that the Rotterdam was
allowed to leave Plymouth after dis
charging all the copper in her cargo.
Great Britain is convinced that
American copper shipped to Rotterdam
in neutral bottoms is intended for the
Krupps, and by item is to be used in
the manufacture of cannon and projec-
tiles for the German army. The Brit
ish government has explained to the
American Ambassador, Mr.. Page, that
it cannot permit copper shipments con-
signed to Holland to pass without con-
fscation when the opportunity to con-
fscate comes within the power of the
British authorities.
Sir Edward Grey has pointed out to
the American Ambassador that Eng
land did not sign the so-called Decla-
ration of London, Article 35 of which
declares that conditional contrsband
is not liable to capture, except when
found on board vessel bound for ter
ritory belonging to or occupied by the
enemy, etc." and that, therefore, Eng
land does not feel herself bound by
that article.
The so-cslled conditional contra
band" includes such articles as food
stuffs, forage, grain, etc, clothing,
boots, shoes, gold and silver coin,
bullion, powder, explosives, etc. It is,
however, the shipments of copper TO
which Great Britain is particularly
averse, and that government is so be-
cause its military intelligence depart
ment has informed it that the copper
consigned to Rotterdam is designed for
the use of the Krupps in the manu-
facture of arms and ammunition TO be
used against British soldiers. Eng
land has, accordingly. informed the De.
partment Of State that she will con-
slider herself at liberty to confiscate
such shipments wherever they are dis
covered.
Following the representations of the
british Foreign Office to the American
Ambassador, Secretary Bryan gave
evidence of a disposition to oppose the
British contention and to maintain that
shipments by Americans of conditional
contrabsnd to neutral ports must not
be interfered with.
As if TO strengthen the position of

.RUMANIANS DEAF
TO PLEA OF KING
Charles, Who Wished to
Aid Kaiser, Rebuffed
by His Cabinet.

London. Sept, sO.--The Rome CORE
spondent Of the Exchange Telegraph
Company reports that a message re-
ceived az Rome from Bucharest says
that King Charles has summoned the
Cabinet in special session tomorrow to
decide the attitude of Rumanis toward
the war.
Paris, Sept. 30. - According 10 a
Bucharest dispatch published IN LIE
Journal des Debats," Germany count
ed on the Intervention of Rumania, but
when King Charles asked the Cabinet
to order a mobilization of the army
one Of the Ministers replied; We are
quite willing If it is against Austria.
King Charles turned to him and
said: "I gave my word to Emperor
William, and Hohenzollern keeps ms
word"
]. J. c. Bratiano, the President Of
the Council, here interposed, saying;
"The country knows no Hohenzollern.
II knows only the King OF Rumania'
who does not have to give his word 10
any one whatsoever"
King Charles then decided to call
Council Of the Crown, with the former
Ministers in attendance, but only one
sided with him in favor Of Germany.
II Is then reported that the King ap-
piled to General Averesca to try a
coup d'etat and arrest the Ministers,
but he refused, saying; "Sire, you Will
be the first victim"
Il is also said that some superior
officers declared they would desert
and ioin the Russian army rather than
fight for Austria.

Goschen's cook The "Lokalanzeiger

secretly preparing for it long before
the crisis occurred may be cited the
fact that the British Ambassador DIS
missed his female German cook on July
30. FIVE days before war was declared
while telephone and other negotiations
were being conducted between Sir I'd
ward Grey and Ambassador LichnoWsky
and while England pretended TO the
outside world that she WAS interested
in the preservation Of peace
"The British Ambassador IN Berlin
evidently was quite clear about 1t all
ending in hostilities, as is evidenced by
the fact in connection with the dis
charging of his cook, above mentioned.
We only regret that five valuable
davs i e.. from the moment the cook
was dismissed until the moment OF the
declaration of war, were lost in futile
pourparlers. The famous cook has now
become a great historic personality
constituting, as she does, the most I'M
portant landmark in the history OF the
world"

PetrOgrsd, Sept. sO.-West Of Grodno
lies the big pine forest Of Autustovo.
twenty-four miles long and thirty-fve
miles broad, interseeted by a canal
connecting the River Niemen with thu
River Vistula, and studded with
islands. Through this comfortless for
est in rainy, chilly and sloppy weather
the Germans, who the other day tried
to force a passage Of the Niemen
northwest Of Terodno. are retiring.
while the Russians are advancing, at.
tseking the Germans on the flank, ap-
psrently with the objec. Of cutting
their communications.
A little further south the Germans
are making a frontal attack on the
small fortress Of Asvurec, which COM
mands the only negotiable passage
across the swampy Biebrz. So far the
attack has proved unsuccessful at this
point also.
The attempted German advance in a

checked, but still further south, In
Silesia, along the frontier of the Pet
rokoff and Kalisch governments, in Po-
land, the Germans are greatly
strengthening their forces, and, ac-
cording to Russian official statement,
are preparing for active operations.
In all this curious shutting, this
hurried spade work, these marches and
counter-marches of the Germans along
the Polish frontier, a certain plan is
becoming dimly visible. The German
and Austrian armies together consti-
tute one big army extending from
Galieia to the Baltic and connected
through Cracow. The left flank of
this army in Galicia is crumbling under
the unceasing blows of the Russian
battering rams, and the Germans are
apparently trying TO neutralize the ef-
feet of the Russian advance from the
southeast by a turning movement on
the Russian right to the north of War
saw. So far this attempt has failed,
and the reported preparations for sd-
vance in Silcsia may be intended 70
create a diversion with the object Of
facilitating the more northerly move
ment
In Galicia the Russians have been
taking fortresses and fortified positions
literally in their stride, while the Aus
tro-German forces have consistently
failed to utilize to the utmost the
chances offered by possession of these
fortified lines. In Russia there is a
disposition 10 attribute this failure to
the presence of Germans with the Aus
trian forces. The latter everywhere
have fought with a steady bravery that
has cost Russians dear, and, like all

AUSTRIAN MINES
AROUSE ITALIANS
More Disasters in Adriatic
Lead to Protest at
Vienna.
LEy cable to Tho Trlhune. I

Rome, Sept. 3O.-Floating mine ac-
, eidents in the Adriatic eliminated in
great indignation against Austria to-
day when news was received here OF
the blowing up of a fishing boat with
all its crew of nine near Rimini, Italy,
! closely followed by a hitherto uncon-
firmed report that an Italian torpedo
boat has been sunk by one of these
Austrian devices between Venice and
| Comacchio.
Floating mines in the Adristic, ac-
cording to the announcement made to-
day, have already caused nineteen
| deaths.
II is recalled that at the time of the
Italo Turkish war Austria protested
because a fotilla Of torpedo boats, un-
der command of the Duke of the
Abruzzi, approached the eastern coast
Of the Adriatic
The situation has led the govern
ment to telegraph urgent instructions
] "a
dor at Vienna, charging him to draw
the attention of Austria to the fact
that loss of both life and property has
resulted from the appearance on the
Italian coast of floating mines which
must have proceeded from lstria and
Dalmstia. and to ask that adequate
measures be taken to prevent the re-
currence of incidents of such gravity.
Admiral Viale, the Minister of Ma
rine, has been informed that Austrian
mines are floating hither and thither
in the Adriatic and that in consequence
the suspension has had to be ordered
of all mail steamers and general nayi-
CATION until a 1otilla of Italian mine
dredgers actually at work have freed
passenger trade routes from these dan
gers No fewer than five of these
mines have been tished up near Pesaro.
! Experts found them to be exception
| ally destructive.
Details of the fishing boat disaster
| Oft Rimini show that the fishermen mis-
took the mine for a wine cask, which
. tn sought 70 recover. Throwing out
q line, they drew the supposed cask
/ toward them, and when it touched their
craft an explosion occurred. The boat
was blown to pieces, and all the nine
men on board were killed Members OF
other fishing crews in the vicinity were
wounded by flying splinters from the
unfortunate fisherman.
Naval experts express the opinion
/ that hundreds of mines from the Aus
trian coast are floating toward Italy,
and as a consequence all steamship
J lines operating to Dalmatia, Montene-
gro, Albania and Greece from Italian
/ ports have suspended sailings. Ships
which have been operating between
| Italy and Constantinople and other
Black Sea ports have limited their trips
TO stops at Salonika and Dedeaghatch.
Seafaring interests demand that the
government require prompt and thor
| ough satisfaction from Austria.
Meetings were held to-day by the
various Italian Parliamentary groups
to discuss the general situation. Reso-
| lutions were passed at all the gather
ings substantially approving the atti-
! tude of the government on condition
that its neutrality shall mean the sure
protection of Italian interests.
Venice (via Paris, Sept. 30.-The
Rumanian sailing ship Maria struck an
Austrian mine and sank Of Istria, in
the Adriatic, Monday. Only one Of the
crew was saved.

Dear Sir: l am reader of your

Roman Catholicism for the past 27
years-longer than any other anti
Catholic lecturer-has two Roman
bullets in his body, has been beaten
up more than any one lecturer, is
sixty-three years old, and is still on
the job.

have heard him speak in our town,
Canton, Warren, and many others
places. My father was boycotted to
the extent of sixty-one customers, be-
cause we dared to hear and board

twenty lectures on Roman Catholic
