PREDICTS PASSING OF
EUROpE'S CROWNED HEADS
Secretary Bryan Says Constitution OF
U. S. Has Become Pattern COPIED
by Other Nations.

Baltimore, Md, Sept, 15.-Coming
as the personal representative OF Pres
ident Wilson, Secretary Bryan spoke
here at the Star Spangled Banner
celebration. The subject of the al
dress was The Flag" and Mr..
BRYAN said that he found his text In
the line with which the poet closed
each stanza of the national anthem
"O'er the land of the free and the
home of the brave" The development
of American ideals, the secretary SAID,
had brought with ii a wider freedom
and a new tye of courage-"a constant
growth in the spirit Of brotherhood,
The Constitution of the United States,
he said, had become a pattern copied
by other nations and now was to be
seen everywhere the waning of mon
archical authority and hereditary
power.
Americans never had hesitated, Mr..
Bryan said, to die, If necessary, in de-
Tense of the authority for which the
flag stood. But the war era has ended
in the United States" he added. "and
is drawing toward it's close in foreign
lands; the commissions through which
Europe is now passing are but the
death throes of militarism."

TURKISH ENVOY.
Diplomats Comments on U. S.
Affairs DispIeases Wilson.
STATEMENTS NOT DISCREET
Secretary Of State Tells A. Rustem
Bey to Discontinue Giving Inter
views on Matters of Concern to
the American People.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Dispatches
from Constantinople by way OF Rome
announce that the foreign ambassa-
doris. including the German represen-
tative, have informed the Turkish gov
eminent that the powers cannot ac-
cent additions of the treaty rights
accorded foreigners. The American
state department Is without official
advices.
Washington, Sept. 14.-Turkey's
conduct has become a matter OF con-
Germ to the United States as well as
to the allied governments.
Coincidental with the Ottoman gov
ernment's announcement OF It's abroga-
ton of the conventions and capltuia-
tons under which foreigners nave
been accorded extra-territorial priv
ileges in Turkish territory the ter
man embassy issued an official state
ment alleging that Great Britain, nus
STA and France had tried to brloe
Turkey to remain neutral.
While this statement was being IS
sued Secretary Bryan was having a
conference with the Turkish ambas'
sador, A. Rustem Bey, in which he
suggested to the diplomat the propri-
ETY. of disseminating his comments in
newspapers on matters OF domestic
concern to the United States. Presl-
dent Wilson had asked Secretary
Bryan to call the attention OF the
Turkish ambassador to recent state
ments attributed to him in the news
papers and to inquire if they were
authorized.
The president and other officers OF
the administration are understood to
have been greatly dlspleased with
statements made by the ambassador
in q prepared interview which he fur
nished to the press.
In that interview the ambassador,
in commenting on reports that Great
Britain and France were trying to get
this government to send warships to
Turkey to protect Christians, said the
thought of daily lynchings in the
South and memory of the water cures
in the Philippines should make Amer.
lean newspapers chary OF attacking
Turkey in connection with acts Of
savagery committed by her. There
we're other things in the interview
that we're dtstasteful to the principal
officers of the administration.
1t is regarded as in the highest de
gree offensive for foreign diplomatic
representative to pass structures on
affairs that pertain TO the country to
which he is accredited
The recall of the Turkish ambassa-
dor has not been asked by the United
States and there is no desire to ask
for it If the offense is not repeated

NO PEACE TALK IN LONDON
Allies Will Demand Indemnity From
Germany, and England May Insist
on Dismantlement Of Fleet.

London, Sept. 15.-London does not
talk of peace, and rumors from Amer
lea of some such suggestion by Count
Won Bernstorff arouse little comment,
but as time passes 1t becomes appar-
ent there are certain things which
Germany must pay II the allies win.
One thing Is an enormous indemnity
to Belgium Conversations with high
officials here indicate that this stands
foremost in England's mind at the
present moment. Alsace and Lorraine
must be returned to France, and it is
expected France also will demand the
return of the indemnity Of 1870. Still
another payment. II many people have
their way, will be dismantlement OF

DEMOCRATS WIN IN MAINE
Republicans Gain 1874 Per Cent Over
Taft's Record, But Appear
Defeated.

Portland Me-, Sept. 15.-Apparently
Maine went Democratic in the state
election, the first balloting of the kind
this year.
There were extraordinary surprises
in the voting. The Democratic vote
cast for Mayor Oakley c. Curtis of
Portland for governor showed a gain of
Is per cent over that for President
Wilson in 1912.
The Republican vote cast for the re-
election of Gov. William Il. Haines
showed an increase of 134 per cent
over what Taft received.
On the other hand, the Progressive
vote given to Halbert P. Gardner for
governor reflected a loss OF 63 per cent
from the Roosevelt vote of 1912.

GERMANS RUSH
CORPS TO BELGIUM;

Both Teutons and BeIgians Re-
port Heavy Losses.
BATTLE ON DAY AND NIGHT
kaIser's Troops Believe They Can
Raze Forts at Antwerp With Their
Heavy Seige Guns-Don't
Want to She'll City.

London, Sept. 15-In order to cope
with the heavy attacks of the Bel
gians, the Third and Ninth German
army corps, which were destined to
reinforce the German right wing in
France, have been hurriedly returned
to the Belgian war center.
A Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam
conveys this information. The same
dispatch says that all day and night
there was heavy fighting in the ruins
of Louvain, between the Belgians and
the Germans.
Twice the Belgians penetrated to-
the center of the town, the Belgian
sides lost heavily. The Belgian posi-
ton is considered hopeful.
A Taube aeroplane flew over Ant
werp, according to the dispatch, and
one officer was killed and another
wounded.
Think Antwerp Forts viii Fall.
A German commanding officer from
Aerschot, who is imprisoned in Ant
werp, declares the Germans firmly be-
lieve the Antwerp forts are no match
for their 17-inch field guns, of which
they have 80, They have an effective
range of six miles, but can only be
fired 20 times.
While confessing that the Germans
could not spare a sufficient force for
the investment of Antwerp, this Off
hnl mil of thn nrtI-
would soon be taken, thus giving them
access to the town.
No bombardment or destruction of
the city is contemplated, he says, be-
cause Antwerp harbor is too valuable
an asset to the Germans
Germans Short of Guns.
A Central News dispatch from Am
sterdam reports that during the fight
ing between Aerschot and Louvain,
which ended in the Belgian reoccupa-
ton Of the former a sergeant belong
ing to the Belgian telegraph section
succeeded in joining their wire to a
line running direct to German head
quarters in Brussels, and obtained the
following correspondence:
Telegraphing from Louvain, the
German said:
ave are surprised. Send assistance
quickly
To which Brussels replied;
ASK for assistance at Sichem
Scherpenneuval. Have no more
guns"
A third telegram from Vilvoorde to
the German commander at Louvain
said:
mo more guns except two batteries
which am sending you"
1t now appears that the German left
wing between Malinez and Louvain
was entrenched behind bags OF &C.
ment but the heavy Belgian guns de-
stroyed the position without difficulty.
Belgians Deny Atrocities.
An Exchange dispatch from Ant
werp says the government appointed
commission to refute the German
calumnies against Belgians for atroci-
ties committed by the Germans them
selves. Count Goblet Dalviella. minis
ter of state, declared refutation was
necessary in order that foreign opin-
ion be not misinformed and that as
surance be given to the world that
Belgium is entirely irresponsible for
the horrors caused by the German in

He assented to the suggestion made

might issue, the American embassy
and consulate would be communicated
with, with the object of getting them
to publish the full facts.

FLYER SEES RETREAT
FRENCH MILITARY AVIATOR
VIEWS ROUT OF GERMANS.
For First Time Man In Air Witnesses
Hundreds of Thousands Fall Back
and Take to Woods.
By GEORGE DRU.

Paris, Sept 15-The best view Of
the retreating German armies was OBJ
tanned by a French military aviator,
who, ascending from a point near
Vitry, flew northward across the
Marine, then eastward by way OF
Rheims to the region Of Verdun, and
back again in zigzag course to
spot near Scissors. He saw the Ger
man hosts, not merely in retreat, but
in fight, and in some places in disor-
derby flight.
1t was a wonderful sight to look
down upon tens and hundreds Of thou
sands of the kaiser's picked troops,
some marching in northerly, others in
northeasterly directions, and all NOV
ing with tremendous rapidly which
was eloquent of their desire to place
themselves beyond reach of the allied
armies, who were harassing them
every step of the way.
The retreat was not confined to the
highways. Many German soldiers
were running across fields, jumping
over fences, crawling through hedges
and vending their way through woods
without any semblance of order or
discipline. These men doubtless be-
long to regiments which were badly
cut up in the fierce fighting which pre-
coded the general retreat. Deprived
of majority Of their officers and non
commissioned officers, they became
mere rabble Of fugitives. Many had
abandoned their weapons in their mad
haste to escape the vengeance of their
French and British pursuers.
These scenes of almost panic
stricken flight were witnessed at the
end of weeks hard fighting. 1t is
quite clear that the Germans did their
best and were beaten In a battle
which they themselves recognized as
the turning point of the campaign in
France.
The retreat developed into fight
partly owing to the collapse of the
supplies of ammunition and food.
Many German prisoners say they were
without food for periods varying from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
Scores of German soldiers were found
dying in a condition of complete ex-
haustion
Apart from the heavy losses which
the Germans sustained during the
fighting, they have been severely pun
ished by their pursuers during the
hurried retreat. Judging from unoh-
cial accounts of the great battle which
are beginning to come in, there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the French
official communication understated the
extent of the victory

German army beaten at Tomaszow has

cording to Petrograd dispatch. Ami

Russian forces, finding this army of
the end in disordered flight, split its
center and enveloped the right wing
| The left wing continues in precipitate
retreat.
Russ Defeated In Prussia.
In Prussia the situation is admitted
ly much less favorable to the Russian
forces. 1t is officially admitted that the
Russians are making practically no
progress there, and a dispatch from
Berlin says:
General Hindenburgs victorious
progress in East Prussia continues.
The Russians attempted to relieve the
pressure on their defeated left wing
by launching the Twenty army
corps against the German flank, but
the Russians We're repulsed.
General Hindenburg has crossed
the Russian frontier and has taken
10000 prisoners, so guns and many
machine guns and aeroplanes.'
Invaders Await Reinforcements.
One official message from Petrograd
explains the recent successes of the
Germans in Prussia as follows:
The attention of the Russian gen.
eral staff is directed largely to Galicia.
In East Prussia a force was left which
was calculated to be just about large
enough to hold the position which the
Russians had taken. This force was
not great enough, apparently, to meet
the increasing German armies re-en-
forced there with troops from the vest.
The consequence is that the Russians
have found it necessary to retreat.
They have done so slowly and in ex-
cellent order. They are ready to re-
sumo the offensive the moment that re-
endorsements arrive, and these are
rapidly approaching. Fighting is in
constant progress along the Prussian
front"
Rumor Austria Gives Up.
London, Sept. 15.-The Russian vic
tory in Austria against the Austro-Ger-
man forces grows as more complete
reports are received.
Reports of Austrian disaster are ad-
mitted in messages from Berlin. Ger
man re-enforcementS are being sent
east. but the bulk of them are going
into Prussia, large force being dis
patched to Mcneil in the northern
part of East Prussia.
10000 Austrians Taken.

from Rome says information received
from Petrograd announces that $780,
600 prisoners were taken by the Rus
slams in the II days battle just draw

In addition to the prisoners, the Rus
SLAMS captured $50 field guns, 1000
pieces of fortress artillery, 1000 trans
port wagons and seven aeroplanes.
Persistent but unofficial rumors are
telegraphed from Paris that the larger
part of the Austrian armies capituated
