OCCUPATION OF AVLONA
It's Capture B. Italy Will Force That
 Country Into the War.

London-A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Company from Rome says rumor is published there that Italian sailors were landed at Avlona ia sea- port of Albania on the Adriatic) Frl- day. There is no confirmation.
 It Italian sailors really have occu. pied Avlona, Italy has taken action which will almost certainly involve her. Avlona, the Gibraltar of the Adriatie," long has been coveted by both Italy and Austria. During the war between Italy and Turkey, when Avlona belonged to Turkey, it was the scene of daring exploit by the Italian navy under Duke of A5ruzzi
 The jealousy of Austria immediately was aroused and as a result an agree ment was reached whereby Turkeys European possessions were immune from attack. The intensity of Aus trian feeling also was manifested dur Ing the Balkan war and Austro-Italian occupation of the port was talked of.
 A dispatch from Trieste to Paris paper September 13 said Italian troops were disembarked at Avlona.

P0lNCARE ON FIRING LINE
Not for Purpose of Command, but to Congratulate Soudiers on Victories.

Standardization Poincare, ac- companied by Premier Viviani and Minister of War Alexandre Millerand. left at noon Sunday for the battle front. The president goes to the bat tie line, not to take part in the stra- tegy, but to congratulate the troops personally upon the bravery they have displayed in the long and stubborn fighting.
 News of the presidents departure has given rise to rumors that the al lies have gained great victory, the news of which is withheld and that M. Poincare has gone to witness the final discontinue of the Germans.
 The correctness of this deduction is officially denied, and it is repeated that the situation in the fighting zone is as described by the afternoon statement of the War Office. It is added that the presidents sole motive is to convey the nations appreciation and encouragement to the troops. The president first will visit the head quarters of General Joffre, commander in chief of the French army.
 Interest in the allies movement as revealed in official announcements of the War Office continues intense. Des- pite the rushing of endorsements to aid the Germans, their attacks, as viewed here, seem to have little eff. feet. The battle takes on more and more the form of a siege
 Additional German forces sent to the lines of the Aisne and Disc, it is noted, are not coming from Lorraine, Belgium or Germany, but are being drawn from the army operating in Champagne province. The withdrawal of German forces from the center has caused considerable surprise, in view of the extraordinary precautions taken to stop the French advance in this region, especially as the center is regarded as an important element in the German defense.

RUSSIANS CLAIM VICTORY
Engagements in Northern Poland Re
 suit in Rout of Germans.

Petrograd.-The official communica- tion from general staff headquarters issued Sunday night reads:
 The battle of Augustowo ended yesterday October 3, in victory for the Russians. The German defeat Is complete.
 "The enemy is in a disordered re- treat toward the East Prussian iron tier. The valiant Russian troops are in close pursuit, the Germans aband- oning in their resperate march, trains, cannon and ammunition, not having even time to gather up their wounded.
 Tt already Is known that the battle of Augustowo began September 29 with bombardment by the German heavy artillery in the region of So- potzkin (on the left bank of the River Niemen), followed by an offensive movement by the enemy against the same fortified town
 "On September 26 the Germans also began an attack on the fortress of Os- sowetz, but everywhere met with fierce resistance and were compelled to reatreat. Not satisfied with coun- ter attacks, our troops took the offen- sive vigorously and pursued the ene- my. Notwithstanding the energetic resistance offered by the Germans, they could not check the onward rush of our troops, who captured the ene- my's positions, one after another.
 Routed by this irresistible engage ment, the Germans weakened and are in full retreat. At certain points this retreat is degenerating into flight" !"
 The military governor of Warsaw has posted the following notice:
 For some time past the population has been agitated by absurd reports of the probability of hostile occupa- tion. By order the commander of the army, I inform the public that Warsaw and it's vicinity are beyond all danger from the enemy. I beg the inhabitants to be calm and peacearfy carry on their occupations"
The Green Forest tribune., 1914-10-09

that the troops advancing in the Ar gonne had gained ground in a south erly direction.
 In the Woevre and the heights of the Mouse the French claim their progress continues. There apparently has been hard fighting further south, for the German report speaks of vii gorous sallies from Foul having been repulsed. Along the center compara- tive calm still reigns. The Germans have been keeping up heavy artil- lery fire on the British and French forces entrenched in front of them, but the British accounts say little damage has been done.
 The real work is being done on the two wings, and the troops in the cer- ter, who have had much fighting, are being given a respite until the mo- ment comes for them to move again. This, of course, depends on the suc- cess or failure of the outlflanking operations.
 Commenting on the status of the battle in Northern France. the eorre- spondent of the Times at London says:
 "The violence of the battle seems to be concentrated for the moment oIi the left wing, which has prolonged It. self to a point within 30 or 40 miles Of the Belgian border south of Arras. Throughout this line the Germans have attempted to break, with tho object of isolating the forces of the allies in the north. The combats in this region have been extremely vio- lent, but the allies hold the enemy well, in spite of partial successes by the Germans.
 "All along this immense battle line to the right, the left and center the enemy has tried to break through, in vain. Nowhere have the French yielded.

BRYAN PRAYS FOR PEACE
Special Peace Day Services Held Sun-
 day in Carnegie Hall.

New York.-Hope that the Euro pean war will be the last object les son of the horrors of strife, and that after it the effort of man will be de- voted to production rather than de- struction, was expressed Sunday by Secretary of State Bryan at a special peace day service at Carnegie Hall.
 To-day, when a number of nations, all our friends, have been drawn into the vortex of war;" said Secretary Bryan, "our first duty is to use such influence as we may have to hasten the return of peace. There will be ample time afterward to discuss ways and means for preventing future ap- peals to arms.
 Our interests are so entwined with the interests of other lands that no nation can live or die unto itself alone If we had no higher reason for en- couraging conditions conducive to peace, we should find ample justifca- tion in the fact that burdens of war no longer are borne entirely by it's dir ect participants.
 We must not be discouraged if this, the greatest of all wars, broke out just when we were most hopeful of the substitution of reason for force in the settlement of international dis putes. It may be that the world needs one more awful object lesson to prove conclusively the fallacy of the doc Urine that preparedness for war can give assurance of peace. This assump- tion is built upon the theory that peace rests on fear, whereas all his tory proves the contrary. Most of the errors in international affairs arise from a failure to understand the fun damental truth that moral principles are as binding on nations as on inds viduals."

KAISER REMOVED
 HIS CHIEF IF STAFF
DlSSENSlON BETWEEN EMPEROR AND VON MOLTkE OVER AIR
 ATTACK ON ENGLAND.
-estern Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 London.-Lieuteaant General i1el. muth von Moltke, oaief of the German General Staff has been removed from that office by the kaiser, according to a report received here.
 An Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily Call says that "The dismissal of Gen eral von Moltke was due to a colli- sion with the emperor over several important questions or strategy"
 Continuing, the Gispatch says the emperor wished to subordinate sound strategy to desire 70 attack England, but General von Moltke preferred to postpone the latter action, as it would have no effect on the immediate situa- tion.
 The emperor, adds the dispatch, wished to detach large number of airships and aeroplanes to attack Eng land, but General von Moltke declared all available air craft were needed in Europe.
 The great effort of the allies to en- velope the German right may be said to be in operation again and it is be- lieved the whole French column from Rove northward to Arras is moving eastward against the German posi- tions.
 It is the same operation that has been tried repeatedly for the last three weeks in an attempt to reach the German lines of communication and either encircle the German army forming the right wing or force it to fall back to Belgium and Luxumberg.
 The Germans have had long time in which to make their position se- cure, so there is lot of hard fight ing ahead for both the attacking forces and the defensive. The defen- sive role apparently is being assumed by the invaders.
 In the center from the Disc to the Argonne the two we'll entrenched armies still are watching each other, ready at a moments notice to meet attacks, or one the advice of aerial observers to move to some point where the line is threatened While there have been many of these move, ments there is little, according to the French report, to record. In other words, the situation remains virtually as 1t was.
 In Lorraine and Vosges there is no change in the positions of the oppos- ing armies. This probably is account ed for by the fact that the Germans have not sufficient forces to attack the almost impregnable line of fortifica. tions, while the French are too busy elsewhere to attempt an invasion Of the lost provinces. They has set themselves to the task of getting the Germans out of northeastern France and if this can be accomplished they are faced with the necessity of at tacking the German positions in AL sace-Lorraine.
The Green Forest tribune., 1914-10-09

Their courageous dashes to the allies front were not successful, and the French and British were able to make them fall back on their deep trenches.
 The sight of the allied infantry creeping across the open spaces in front of the trenches in a brilliant sunshine which glittered on their weapons, was impressive. Hundreds of shells burst overhead or in their rear without doing great damage.
 Everywhere the French and British soldiers seemed as though glued to the ground, but yet their widely ex- tended lines progressed always for ward In only two or three instances cid they encounter the splitting machine gun fire, with it's hail of bullets, be- fore reaching the German trenches. They found few Germans there to meet their bayonets, as the invaders had restired to another line only few hundred yards back
 It is said that the Germans also re- treated on the eastern wing, where for many days they have been going back continually. In that part of the great battlefield the famous French Alpine rifiemen came in contact with the Germans and inflicted considera- ble loss.
 In the center there was comparative quiet, although the artillery and in- fantry kept firing occasionally, as though to remindffheir adversaries of tlf heir. cir .Iy py py1osss.zze-4s4 = s.ze.s

Some were at the win dows taking aim with their fingers still pressing the trigger, while others were at the tables, where they had been playing games, with cards in their hands, while still others had cigarettes in their lips.
