Not Caring Much About What is Going on in the

European War.
BLAME GAR FOR UNDERHAND WORK
Servia Killed the Arch Duke and Started the
Trouble, But Russia Was Behind Servia,

PRZEMYSa4, Austria, Galicia, Oct.
27.-(By mail to New York; When I
began my long eventfu1 journey for
this town, Pzemysl was the vital
point of the line of the Russian, Aus
trian armies. But last night, labor
ing in our automobile through the
mud. we found grim Austrian Uhlan
waiting for US in the rain On hill
top with the news that the Austrian
armies had pushed the Russians
back thirty miles.
ut was a slaughter" said the Uh-
Ian. "The Russians had eaten nothing
for six days. Their officers ordered
them to go into battle, but the hungry
men sair give Us food and We will
fight, The officers said we will give
you lead food and they turned the
machine guns on their own soldiers
to drive them into battle.
1t was very bad for the Russian
soldiers Nicht wahr! Behind them
their own guns would kill them. Be-
fore them the Austrian guns would
kill them And, besides, they were
dying OF hunger.
Paragraph cut out by censor) The
Uhlan smiled triumphantly and
started his horse off down the hill
through the mud.
And thus the Austrian point has
slipped out OF my present reach by
thirty miles, but am promised that
tomorrow shall be taken to the
very point where the lines Of the en-.
emy are so near that constant rifle
fire is going on.
The big fact that stands out at the
present is that the Austrian govern
ment wants the United States to
know what is going on in Austria.

General Won Hindenberg has now
reached the most critical part Of 10
critical journey to Warsaw. At

angle formed by the two railways runs
forty-five miles before II comes to its

This angle must be held by the Ger

railways. Hitherto Won Hindcnber1
has been compelled to protect only one
railway line, the northern. However,
now he must make sure Of the south

Vienna, for many weeks was unrep-
resented In the worlds news. Austria
had been blamed for sending a note
to Servia that brought on the war
and Austria's side of the story has
never been told in the United States.
Austria's side of the war question can
be told in one word: Russia" Russia,
Austrians say, has driven Servia and
other Balkan states to defy Austria,
for Russia desires a pathway through
Austrian territory to the; sea and it
was only by fighting Austria that
such an end could be gained. Servia
killed the Arch Duke Ferdinand say
the Austrians, but Russia was behind
Servia in the matter. Austria sent
the note that caused the war. to Ser
via. but In reality. It was note to
Russia, an ultimatum that the time
had come when Russia must quit her
underhand methods, or fight. And
Russia fought.
Nothing is heard here. about the
French or English. That might be
another war for all you hear Of 1t

in Austria. Everybody knows that
over towards the Atlantic ocean
there is long zig-zag battle line dip

But all that gigantic movement OF
which only a month ago was a

France, but through mountains and

House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. The
American warships North Carolina
and Tennessee will remain in Turkish
waters indefinitely. Reports that they
are to be recalled as soon as the
Smyrna incident has been officially
disayowed, were today denied at the
navy department. At the same time,
Secretary Daniels took the position
that this act was not an aggressive
one.
In officially confirming the orders to
Captains Decker and Oman that they
must not act on their own initiative,
have been modified SO that they may,
should grave necessity arrive, protect
American citizens as the situation
may warrant, the secretary today took
the position that he had not reversed
himself. He insisted that the original
orders to the commanders of the war
ships that they must not initiate any
hostile move without. specific orders,
was only meant to be temporary, un-
til he could be assured that the state
department. and Ambassador Morgen-
thau were working In complete SYM
pathy.
The new orders simply put into ef-
feet the naval regulations. The lat
ter give commanders Of American
warships discretionary powers when
they cannot communicate directly
with the department, to act "for the
protection Of American interests even
to the extent OF using their batteries
or landing marines. 1t was under his
construction of these powers that
Rear Admiral Mayo precipitated the
Tampico incident which brought the
American battle fleet into Mexican
waters. 1t is understood here that
ton is due to serious pressure from
missionary interests Of the United
states. The heads of the various de-
nominational mission societies have
been alarmed for the safety of their
representatives ever since Turkey re-
voked the conventions under which
foreigners have been permitted
in Turkey. This ante-dated the war
and was followed by vigorous protest
by this government.
When it was announced here that
the officials of the warships now In
Mediterranean waters were to be
forced to work only under specific in
structions from here, the missionary
organization became angered A flood
Of protests have been poured in on the
white house with the result that an
nouncement Is now made that the
United States warships will remain
where they can act to protect Ameri-
cans if needed. At the same time,
however, the Turkish government
has been assured by Ambassador
Morgenthau that the United States be-
lieves the porte will protect all Amer
leans everywhere under it's jurisdic-
ton An official report from the am
bassador, explaining that Turkey has
otticially disavowed any hostile intent
in connection with the shot fired by
the Smyrna port authorities at the
Tennessee's launch, is expected very
soon. Unofficial advices from Con-
stantinople say that a complete ex-
planation following the unofficial one
already made, has been furnished the
ambassador and 1t is believed now to
be on the way to this city.
