NAVAL DISASTER SUPPORTS
BRITISH ADMIRAL'S APPEAL
Sir Percy Scott contended That Eng
land Needed More Submarines.

The recent North Sea disaster is re-
garded as supporting the claims made
by Admiral Sir Percy Scott in his
reply to Lord Sydenham a few days
prior to the opening of the European
war.
At the time Sir Percy, while not un-
derratlng the value of the battleship or
cruiser. urged an immediate increase in
the number of submarines. The latter.
he contended, were of greater efficiency in
maneuvers requiring speed and secrecy.
He said also that they would prove in
valuable in attacks on commerce.
The truth of his contention he sup
ported by citing the success of the Jap
anese in their late war. when, equipped
with torpedoes inferior 10 those now in
use, they forced the Russian fleet to re-
tire to Port Arthur.
At the time of his speech Sir Percy's
attitude was severely criticised by en-
inent naval experts of England

PETRoGRAn. Sent. "a.

PETROGRAD, Sept. "a.
Rallying their forces behind the Vistok
River the Austrians are giving battle to
the advancing Russian troops along a
curved line extending from the foothills
on the Vistok River, according to advices
received at the War Office today.
Supplementing previous announcements
of the fall of Jaroslaw, the following
statement was issued at the War Office
today:
On September 81 the Russian troops
took by storm the fortiflcatlon of Jar
Uslaw on the right bank of the river
San They took twenty cannon, even
though the enemy offered heavy re-
sistance, and blew UP the bridge over
the San.
The Russian cavalry is pursuing the
retreating Austrian rear guard and Is
iniicting heavy losses, although the
Austrians destroyed many bridges.
Every day the number of prisoners
and seized cannons increase. The de-
moraliZation of the enemy is shown
by the pillaging and the panicky re-
treat Prisoners assert that the ma
jority OF their officers are killed or
missing and that the soldiers feel the
loss keenly The newly formed Rus
sian regiments have covered them
selves with glory, fighting side by
side with the veterans.
The Austrian troops have been REIN
forced by large forces of Germans, and
the combined armies are offering des-
perate resistance, but the Russians are
advancing steadily, the General Staff
states.
1t is expected that a few days must
elapse before a general battle ensues.
The Russians are occupying Rzeszow
as their base, and troops are being rushed
to that point from Jaroslaw, while the
big siege guns are keeping up an un-
ceasing bombardment of Przemysl.

LONDON, Sept. "a.

That the Germans are making a su-
preme effort to break through the
French centre between Argonne and
the Meuse is admitted al the War Of
fce. 1t is stated that for the last 4S
hours the fighting has been continuous
night and day.
The Germans, heavily reinforced,
clearly are trying to force the with
drawaI of part of the French LETT which
continues TO push the army of General
Won Kuk backward, although very
slowly. Up to the present it is stated,
the French lines have held firm.
The losses on both sides are enor-
nous. eclipsing anything in the war 70
date. The entire battle-ground at this
point is covered with dead and wound
ed men. neither side having been able
either to collect It's dead or gather its
injured.
The fighting is also desperate on the
extreme left although the Allies have
not been able to make any very large
gains and are stiu unable to drive the
Germans from the Aisne-Olse triangle
Both sides are reinforcing The Ger
mans have combed all of their interior
fortihcations for men TO aid them in
the present conflict, while the entire
French second line, and all the men
who can be spared from the army Of
the defense Of Parts, are now at the
front

Telegraphing from Warsaw, the corre-

the defensive. The German forces
that retired from the vicinity of
Mlawa have been strongly reinforced.
Reports from aviation scouts state that
the Germans intend to make strong
stand on the line running south from Ka-
lisz to Wielur. There they have con-
centrated strong forces east of Blesau
while others are moving southwark to
Cracow Some heavy fighting already
has occurred about there, the Germans
at some points falling back into Silesia.
Witnesses state that General Rennen-
kempfs strategical retirement before the
German advance nj East Prussia to avoid
their turning movement has been splen-
didly through slowly executed. His rear
guard has maintained a deadly fire di-
rected at the enemy's van guard, and
masses of Germans have been moved
down by the quick-hrers. kilograms to
the Novoe Vremya say that at Wilma and
Lodz there We're more than 5000 Ger
mans killed.
The Russian continued 10 fortify and
Hooded the coal mines, but the Germans

our troops.
In the Vosges cold weather has
followed the hard rains and there
has been a heavy fall Of snow.
It also was announced today that re-
ports from the eastern front stated the
Russians were using dum-dum bullets.
An investigation is to be conducted,
and Russian officers accused OF having
violated the international laws relating
to warfare will be shot.
Newspapers print stories from eye
witnesses stating that the Cathedral
at Rheims was only slightly damaged.
The German press calls attention to
the fact that the British troops attack
ing Delhi, in 1857, did not attempt to
prevent damage to the famous Indian
monuments, and that the leader Of the
Garibaldians besieging Rome threat
ened to lombard the Vatican.
The Wolff News Agency publishes
statement giving alleged details of out
RACES committed by French military
bicyclists in charge of an officer on
wounded German soldiers in two Red
Cross motor cars near Bethenecourt,
The agency said that only two sue
ceeded in effecting their escape, the
rest being killed and robbed by the
biCyclists
The German press says that this is
another proof of the barbartous treat
ment that wounded Germans are re-
celving at the hands of the French.

OVER "WAR TAXI BILL
Debate on Administration Bill Be

gins Under Alleged Gag" Rule.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2i.-Launching
j. the House at noon today of the Admin
istration's emergency internal revenue"
war tax bill was the signal for opening of
bitter bombardment and defense by the
Republicans and Democrats respectively.
Passage of the bill tomorrow intact
without any amendments except minor
ones coming from the Ways and Means
Committee, was certain.
This was shown by test vote of 22l to
l3! to limiting debate. Eleven Democrats
voted against the so-called gag rule"
as follows: Burke Church, Detrick,
Donohoe, Lee PENNSYLVANIA. O'shaun-
essy, Raker Sims, Stevens New Hamp-
shireD, Stout and Wingo. Republicans
forced another rollcall on the adoption
of the rule itself.
The Senate will take up the bill late
next week. but time elapsing there before
final enactment is problematical.
The opening clash on the war emer-
gency measure came when Chairman
Henry. of the Rules Committee reported
the rule to limit debate on the tax bill
tn seven hours, three hours longer than
originally planned, as a concession to
many members desiring to speak. Forty
minutes IF debate only was allowed on
the rule, which the opposition terms a

ed those ponderous cannon to the top
of the buildings is more than 1 can see.
The buildings were first strengthened
with supports and the roofs were COW

two feet thick. This formed the base
for the guns.
"It was discovered after the fall of

to escape.
"Just before the forts fell" said this
fugitive. "the arsenal was blown UP.
Rather than surrender the remaining
guns to the Germans, the French gum
ners smashed the breechbiocks. The
German bombardment was the most
terrific I have ever heard. Thousands
of shells fell in the city every day. Tho
fire slackened at night, but did not die
out completely. All the monuments,
public buildings and churches in Mau-
beuge were badly damaged. Part of
the city was destroyed by fire set by
German shells. Finally, the French
commander had to hoist the white flag.

WOULD CUT PRESIDENTS
SALARY TO SAVE MONEY
Senator Sheppard Introduces Econ
omy Measure.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2i.-Presdent
Wilson's salary will be cut $4,000, while
the salary of every other Federal en-
ploye who draws 800 month or more
will be reduced, beginning November I,
for war economy measure, If a bill in
troduced today by Senator Sheppard, of
Texas, Is passed.
The proposed cut begins at $1,000 sal
aries at per cent, scaling up to IL per
cent on all salaries In excess of 5000, so
that the full effect of the cut would be
felt by Senators. Representatives and
Cabinet officers. All army and navy Off
GERS would also be affected by this cut.
Senator Sheppard has been particularly
displeased by the cut in the river and
harbor appropriations on account of the
war emergency, and he feels that all
divisions OF the Government service
should also economiZe.
