No Reply by Kaiser

No reply was made by Emperor
William himself, nor did the Imperial
Chancellor indicate whether he spoke
on behalf of his monarch. Ambassador
Gerard cabled President Wilson the
chancellor's remarks from recollection,
which was substantially as follows:
Germany was appreciative of the
American governments interest and
offer of services in trying to make
peace. Germany did not want war, but
had it forced on her Even if she de-
feats France, she must likewise van
quish both Great Britain and Russia,
as all three have made an agreement
not to make peace except by common
consent. Similarly, England has an
nounced through Premier Asquith and
her diplomatists and troops that she
intended to fight to the limit of her
endurance. In view of that determine

REGRET GARDENS
REMARKS AGAINST
POLICY OF WILSON
IN MEXICO AFFAIR
Statement by Ambassador
Wilson'S Confidence in
Constitutionalists

Washington, Sept. 17.-President Wilson
declared today that he had ordered Amer
lean troops withdrawn from Vera Cruz
because he believed the Mexicans now
in control were able to manage the affairs
of their country.
Coincidentally with the Presidents re-
marks on Mexico to his callers, the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice,
expressed to the state department his
own regret that Sir Lionel Garden, Brit
ish minister to Mexico. should have been
quoted in criticism of the Presidents
policy. He said British diplomats were
never permitted to criticize the heads of
foreign countries. and whatever state
ment may have been made it did not
represent the view of the British govern
ment.
The President today said the question
of Withdrawing troops from the Texaz
border had not been considered, nor was
he able to predict when formal recogni-
ton would be extended. He pointed out
that he had official reports and assur-
ances that conditions in Mexico were not
threatening and unsettled, as had been
reported.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Ger-

that the United States should
undertake to elicit from Great
Britain, France and Russia a
statement of the terms under
which the allies would make

The suggestion was made by

SULLIVAN RUNNING
FAR BEHIND VOTE
OF MAYOR CURTIS

The plurality of ]. Edward Sulli-
van, the Democratic candidate for
State auditor at Mondays election, was
somewhat reduced today with the
progress of the tabulation of unof1-
cial returns.
With seven counties complete and
SO small towns and plantations miss
ing, he led State Auditor Timothy F.
Callahan, Republican. of Lewiston by
1912 votes. The totals were 53,241 for
Callahan, 1858 for Sullivan and 49,
994 for M. T. Goodrich of Bingham,
Progressive.
The missing towns cast 1923 votes
for Governor Haines and 5691 for Oak
ley c. Curtis, the successful Guber-
material candidate. Mr.. Callahan ran
S14 behind Governor Haines and Mr..
Sullivan 3173 behind Mayor Curtis in
the same towns, a loss of one per cent.
for the former and 1--WE per cent for
the latter.
If this same percentage of loss
should be maintained in returns from
the missing towns and the tabulation
of unofficial returns prove correct, the
plurality of MIR. Sullivan would be re-
duced to about $500.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE hlibuster
against the river and harbor appropria-
ton bill in the Senate met its first effee-
tive parliamentary check today when a
long-forgotten precedent was revived
from the 51st Congress to hamper those
who are trying to talk the bill to death.
The precedent was a ruling by former
Vice President Levi P. Morton that a
senator occupying the floor could not
yield to another except by unanimous
consent. 1t was invoked to force Senator
Kenyon, who was in the fourth day of a
speech against the bill, to continue talk
ing himself In order to hold the floor
instead of yielding to other opponents of
the bill in order to secure a few minutes
rest. The decision evoked an outburst
of protest. Senator Reed of Missouri
warned the Democrats that they were
trying to impose gag rule. Senator Ken
yon criticized the ruling vigorously. He
denounced the Democrats for putting on
a gag rule to force a vote on this pork
barrel bill"
An unsuccessful effort was made by
supporters of the bill to secure the ac-
quiescence of quorum of the Senate to
ho.- a night session tonight in order to
force Senator Kenyon to conclude his
speech.

The Legislature

The political complexion of the next
Maine Legislature was still in doubt
today. three days after the State
election.
1t will not be determined until an
inspection of the ballots in several
closely contested legislative classes
has been made at the office of the sec
rotary OF State and possibly not un-
til the Legislature is convened in jan
uary The examination of the ballots
will be made late today or tomorrow
in the presence of the chairmen of the
leading three parties.
Majority of One
The Democrats, on the face of I'M
official returns, many of which have
been verified by reports from town
clerks, will have a majority of four in
the House and one in joint session
This may be increased by recounts
in three classes in Kennebec county,
Gardiner, Vassalboro and Chelsea,
where the Republican candidates lead
by less than seven votes, while in the
Plymouth and New Sharon classes the
Democratic candidates have plurali-
ties of nine and eight, respectively.
The Republicans at present seem to
have elected II senators and 6S rep
resentatives; the Democrats, IA sena-
tors and II representatives and the
Progressives four representatives. One
representative was elected by both
Republicans and Progressives. There
is tie, according to semi-official re-
turns, for representative in the Waldo
county class composed of Burnham,
Unity and five other towns.

London, Sept. 1907 P. M.
Another great battle, even more
vital for the countries concerned
than those which have preceded
it, is now in progress on a line
extending from the region of
Noyon, on the River Disc, north
west of Paris, to the River
Mouse, north of Verdun.
The front is somewhat short
er than was the case in the bat
tie of the Marine, but this will
only result in a more fiercely
contested battle, with masses of
troops throwing themselves at
each other and every available
piece of artillery concentrated in
the determined effort of the ar
mics to break through the lines.
The Germans, who a fortnight
ago had to abandon their first
swift endeavOr to destroy the
armies of France and Great Brit
ain and capture Paris, have now
fortified themselves on the
mountains north of the River
Aisne, through the plains of
Champagne and in the Argonne
mountains through which the
Mouse flows. They are in
stronger positions than they
were for the battle of the Marine
and have been strongly REIN
forced with fresh troops from
the North and East. They have
attempted some cOunter-attacks
against the allied troops, which
flushed with victory, have been
trying to prevent the Germans
from entrenching themselves.
According to English and
French official reports, these at
tacks have been repulsed and the
Germans compelled to give way
