 LATE FOR CONCLAvE.

Rome, Sept: 4-Cardinal Gibbons. of Baltimore and Cardinal OiConnen, of Boston, arrived here today from Ma pies. whether they had hurried by steamer from the United States hop ing to reach Rome in time for the conc1ave Which yesterday elected Car dtna1 Della Cheisa Supreme Pontif of the Roman Hierarchy in succession to the late Pope Piux x.

 Tn his reply the present pontiff said that Cardinal Rampolla had commuEi- cated this telegram to Pope Leo who had answered that it was a great con solation to hear this as it showed his idea of the reunion of Christian churches was not a dream.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS GET POOR WELCOME
 FROM ITALIANS

London, Sept. IA Rome despatch to the Times says that the German Socialists delegation which came to Rome to explain to the Italian Social ists their attitude regarding the pres ent war were received in a fukewar11 manner. The Rome Socialists adopt ed a resolution protesting against the delegation whose mission they con- sider an fnsidiotis intrigue.
 The motion says: we hope peace shall be soon restored without con querors or conquests. If this hope be defeated then let the war end in victory for France. where real Social ism prevails and for England, where a most loyal liberalism f1ourishes
 Della Setta, prominent Socialist says the Times despatch, replied to the address of the German delegation as follows:
 ''The German motto is Germany above alI,' and German Socialism has failed to oppose. 1t. Socialism must wage 8 war against what represents the most terrible backward step in civilization, namely, the violation of the neutrality of Belgium, against which German Socialism failed to protest. After peace we shall convene the i'm ternationa1 congress-.

TROOPS PUSHED ON TO
 CHECK ENEMY

Paris, Sept. 4.-French troops have been passing through Paris for the last three days headed towards the battle lines which protect the capital from the German advance. The re- sumption of the German offensive is awaited at any moment. The conf dence of the French has strength ened. It is felt that the strateg1cal problem of the allies to to proceed with the right plan at the right mo ment. Many people are going to the south or west of France. The military governor Of the city has put at the disposal of non-combatants Is trains of t25 cars each Passage on them is to be entirely free. They will run today, tomorrow and Sunday and convey ref ugees to points outside of the military zone.
 The principal newspapers of Paris have transferred their offices to Bor- deaux where the Havas Agency has also established headquarters
 London, Sept 4.-In a despatch from Rotaan, France, a correspondent of the Chronicle says he has learned that the French authorities in Paris are. con sidering the surrender Of the city to the Germans in order to avoid the de- struction of property from artillery fire.
 This will be done, the correspondent declares, in case the outer line of the defenses of Paris are pressed by the invaders. British, French and Bel gfum wounded are being transferred from Paris to other cities and the great exodus of the populace of the French capital to the south.
 From Switzerland comes a report that nearly 100000 Aalstrians are be- Ing carried westward in trains to sup port the left wing of the German ar my operating against France.
 An Athens correspondent contradicts the reports that Austria. is withdraw ing her troops from the Servian from tier to meet the Russian advance. He asserts that Austria. is sending rein frocements there to prevent the Ser vdans entering. Bernia-
 The conviction is growing in Eng land that Great Britain is committed to a. long war. The newspapers de- clare that the power Of the British Empire and of Russia eventually must wear down the numerical forces of the enemy and that the resources of Can ada, Australia and India, promise to prove a decisive factor in the long run.
 The casualty list of the British forces operating on the continent is- sued last night shows that the British losses in the second battle were ap- proximately the same as in the first and make the total 10000.

PRAISE RUSSKY'S ARMY
 FOR RUSSIAN VICTORY

The Petrograd, (St.. Petersburg) correspondent of the Times, in a re- port on the operations around Lem berg says:
 s.The forts of Lemberg have fall len and other Austrian armies have been engaged in northern Galicia near LubLn. We may yet have to chron- icle the complete disruption of the dual monarchy's armed forces.
 t'Thes operations extended over an enormous front of many miles, prob ably million and a half men were engaged. The Austrians' extreme right sustained enormous losses but the most terrible blow was dealt them by Ruzsky's army which, starting from Revno, moved thence toward the southwest, spreading fan-wise so as to involve the region north and south of Lenberg, menacing the rear of the Lublin army and threateniT to cut

GERMANS NEAR OUTER DEFENSES
 OF FRENCH CITY

London, Sept. +The armies of Ger many, Austria, Russia, France and Great Britain are still in 8 death grip of four colossal battles. Europe is in the iron grip of militaryism and her peoples whose national lives are be- ing determined are forced to waive all human considerations in the interests of military strategy. A few brief bulletins convey all the important facts that the peoples of Europe know about the upheaval on the continent.
 The past A hours has yielded no definite news of the progress of the battle in northern France. The pub- lie is prepared to learn that the Ger man advance continued to the outer lines of the defenses Of Paris. There, it is expected that the allied armies Verdun on the east to the sea and attempt with all their might to hold the German avalanche-
 The, British public has turned hope full eyes towards the east where the triumph of Russian arms in the Aus< partly confirmed. It appears evil dent today that not only has the Aus trian offensive through Russian Po- land, destined to effect junction with German army corps from East Prus. sia failed, but the blow has been so
 
 control of the Russians.
 Lemebrgy is a point of great strate- gic value, being the center of eight railroads. If the Russian successes continue it is expected that the Aus trians will be cleared out of Rus sian Poland within a few days
 If the official reports of the Russian successes in Galicia are anywhere near correct, if the Austrians are as badly crushed in Galtcia as the Russian re- ports would make the public believe, Russian Poland will soon cease to be a point of anxiety to the Russian de- fense and the effort of the Petrograd general staff can be concentrated on an offensive movement toward Berlin.
 The meagre German reports received here indicate that the Germans are more than holding their own on the border of East Prussia, but the Rus sian general staff, according to the point of view held in London, Is will ling to await the outcome of move ments further eastward before throw ing Ralssiais full strength against Prussia st
 There is no evidence at hand to show that the persistent advance of the Germans north of Paris has been apprecdably checked; on the contrary at least at one point, the German con- tact is now within 20 miles of the out CT Notifications Of Paris. Late news despatches from Dfeppe describe the German right as at the rear of the re- treating French through Creil, Senlis and Crpey-E En- -Valores, distant 24, 20 and 35 miles respectively from the boundaries of Paris propert. The for tihcations of the French capital ex- tend roughly 10 miles beyond the city limits.
 The allied armies probably now oc- cIpy a line of siege both to the east and west of Paris
 Recruiting has improved in England and the military authorities are now prepared to form some 10 or 12 new di- ESvisions
