CREW OF TAHOMA
TAKEN Off SAFELY
Among Them Were Several Survivors
of Wreck Off Semichi Island That
the Tahoma Had Rescued a Short
Time Before.

Seattle Wash, Sept 23.--All of the
"a officers and members of the crew
of the United States revenue cutter
Tahoma, stuck fast on an uncharted
rock 80 miles west of Kiska Island, one
of the westernmost islands of the Aleu-
tian peninsula, have been rescued by
the steamships Senator and Patterson,
which are standing by the Tahoma in
an effort to drag her from rne reef.
The officers and men will be taken
to Nome and then transferred to steam
ships bound for Seattle.
This information was conveyed in a
wireless message received in Seattle
last night from the Alaska Steamship
company's Nome liner Victoria, which
was 100 miles off Cape Flattery.
An earlier dispatch from the steam
ship Mariposa, relayed from Valdez,
said the Tahoma had been abandoned,
but in view of the later developments
this was taken to mean that an effort
would be made to float the cutter.
A cable from Valdez says tnat among
those rescued from DE Tahoma were
a number of persons who had previous
ly been rescued by the Tanoma from a
wreck off Semichi island. The name
of that craft was not given, but it is
believed to be gas trading schooner
from I-nalaska

FRENCH OBJECT TO
PRAISE OF BRITISH
Think They Are Not Given the
Credit They Are Entitled
to For Bravery

Paris, Sept. l4.--(By mail to New
York Continue accounts in Ameri-
can newspapers received here of the
prowess displayed by the British in
their fighting alongside the French
against the Germans in the northeast
are beginning to evoke some Gallic
complaints that America s stories OF
the struggle, reaching the United States
in a greater proportion from British
than from French sources, are giving
the islanders rather more than their
fair share of the glory.
There is no real disposition to de
tract from the laurels frances allies
have won and certainly none to under
estimate the value placed by the French
on the assistance they have given. Al
the same time there is perhaps little
jealousy at suggestions some of the
public thinks it has seen to the effect
that French strategy is hardly equal tC
the British article; that the Frencl
have not always given the support they
might to the British, and that the lat
ter have borne the "brunt of thu
fighting.
The French, after all, these plaintiv,
ones say, outnumber the British a gooC
many to one along the fighting line
and while the BrtOns are given full
credit for the showing they have mad
where their forces have been concen
trated, naturally, it is agreed, th
French, for numerical reasons, hav
done the bulk of the fighting.
In short, the French view is that tn
French soldiers, man for man, hav
fought as valiontly as any of the al
lies, and it pains them to notice tina
the British, having more of the neutra
world S ear, have told a more elOquen
story of their deeds and seem to b
correspondingly more talked about.
Some really rather nasty filings ar
heard generally in the form of querie:
why, with the overwhelming naval ST
periOrity the British have not accom-
plshed more in the way of actual dc
struction with their fleet since the wa
started
This comment is of course purely III
official and is not really more tla
skin deep, but it is illustrative of tn
difficulty of carrying on a joint can
paign by the armed forces of two dill
ferent nations without the develOI
ment of iealOusies and friction.

CAMPAIGN STOPPED
BY THE HEAVY RAINS
General Story Of the War As
Told by Correspondent
in Berlin
(By Karl H. Won Wiegandl !

Berlin, Sept. 23.-(By wireless via
Sayyille.)-A slow, steady German ad.
vance in the westward was announced
by the war office today.
Referring to the outcry concerning
the bombardment of Rheims, the mill.
tary authorities said the Germans orig.
inally withdrew from the town after
capturing it, as they wished to save it.
whereupon the French occupied it and
mounted three-inch guns on the cathe.
dral.
1t was asserted also that French gen.
eral officers in the cathedral tower sig.
nailed to gunners in the streets the
range of the German positions, the Ger.
mans saw them plainly doing this and
had no option but to fire on them.
The French were blamed severely foi
making the city part of their bat
tie line.
The Berlin morning newspaper.
played up Tuesdays disaster to the
British cruisers Abouxir, Hogue ant
Cressy, saying one excellent effect il
may have will be to reconcile the Ger
man sailors to the policy of repression
imposed on them by the admiralty.
A hostile aeroplane dropped bomt
Tuesday near the Dusseldorf hangar
but it did no damage.
Messages from the eastern fighting
zone said General Hinderberg had moi
only driven the Russians generally ou
of East Prussia but had pursued then
to the shelter of their own fortified
tiOns at KOvno.
The rains having begun, it was stat
ed that the East Prussian roads wer,
impossible and that the campaign il
that district must lag for some time.
Several correspondents accused tn,
Russians of violating the Red Cros
flag, one account quoting witnesses whit
saw Russian train of 40 or 80 carload
of munitions bearing the Rec cross in
/ sigma.
For bravery in action, Michae
Schwab, a Bavarian socialist and
member of the landwehr, received tn
| iron cross.
The newspapers lately have been lay
ing much stress on America 8 strictl,
neutral attitude and its refusal to shoy
any preference for the French.
