BERLIN GETS BUT LITTLE NEWS
OF THE CAMPAIGN IN FRANCE
German Territory Expected Soon to Be Free
of Russians Socialist Organ Cites
Economic Peril.

BERLIN, via Copenhagen. Via London,
September 12.-No details of the battles
eastward OF Paris and around Verdun
have been received either from the Ger
man stan or the correspondents attached
to headquarters.
The following official German state
ment has been issued:
'In the eastern theater of the war the
battle has been recommended and the
Austrians have assumed the offensive in
the region of Lemberg.
During the nine days fighting it is es-
timated that the Russians have had en-
gagged $4,000 infantry. 100000 cavalry,
1900 machine guns and 1000 field guns
Congratulates Saxon King.
A, telegram has been made public
which was sent by Emperor William
to the King Of Saxony, congratulating
him on the achievements Of his army
September 9, after hot fighting. The
telegram throws little light on the
fighting near Paris. The army referred
to is that under the saxon genera
Won Hausen,.. which is in an inter-
mediate position between the armies
of Gen. Won Buelow on the right and
the Duke of Albrecht on the left. Its
line or march led SouthWard over
Rethel, SO it presumably occupied a
position on the left wing Of the left
center of the German forces engaged
near Paris, the right wing of which
effected a retirement before superior
thanking forces.
The captured guns and prisoners
mentioned in yesterdays headquar-
ters' report are presumably the fruit
Of the success mentioned In the en-
peror's congratulatory message.
Under the Crown Prince.
The German counter-stroke to the
IAnglo-French offensive near Paris was
delivered by the army of Crown Prince
Frederick William, which captured a
fortified French position southwest of
verdun. This position interposed a
barrier between the German Marine
army, the left wing of which extended
10 Vitry-1e- Francois, and the crown
princes forces.
It's occupation enables the closer CO.
operation of the two sections of the
German invading army. The attack on
the barrier forts south of Verdun sup

l,pletion of the enlightenment of Verdun.

An attempt of the garrison to break
through the Tightening line has been
expected for several days.
The commander Of the I'd Bavarian
Army Corps, forming part of the sixth
army in Lorraine, has issued an order
of the day to the troops conveying the
thanks of general headquarters to the
sixth army for holding out SO stiffly,
heroically and successfully and thereby
preventing the enemy from sending REIN
forcements northward. and intimating
that the time is not ripe for an offensive
movement by this army.
Russians Out of Germany.
The victory Of Gen., Won Hinderburg
will probably clear German territory for
the time being of Russians, whose flood
of inva sion had swept almost to the gates
of Konigsberg.
The Lokal Anzeiger assumes that the
right wing of the defeated army is now
not far from the konigsberg left in
the vicinity of Gumbil.nen.
The text of the telegram from En-
peror William which he sent to Gen.
Won Hindenburg on the occasion of the
latter's victory at Tannenberg. village
southwest of Koenigsberg, has been
given out officially here. It follows:

organ, takes a pessimistic view of the
German situation so far as the economic
position is concerned.

wood and the house machine have
turned the reclamation service into q
pork.barrel bureau. BY q record vote
of lis TO 40 the house adopted the
Underwood amendment TO the senate
bill extending the time OF payment on
reclamation projects. so that in future
the appropriations for projects are to
be made out Of the reclamation fund
by congress. and the matter Is taken
away from the secretary OF the In
terror.
Underwood's amendment Is as fol-
lows: "That from and after July i.
1915, expenditures shall not be made
for carrying out the purposes OF the
reclamation law except out OF appro-
priations made annually by congress
therefor. and the secretary Of the in
terror shall. for the fiscal year 1916
and annually thereafter, in the reg

gress estimates of the amount neces-
sary to be expended for carrying out
any or all OF the purposes authorized
by the reclamation law, including the
extension and completion OF existing
projects and units thereof and the
construction Of new projects. The
annual appropriations made hereunder
by congress for such purposes shall
be paid out Of the reclamation fund
provided for by the reclamation law"
II adopted by the senate, the result
OF this Amendment will be to take
away from the secretary OF the In

put II into the hands of the politicians
