The denial by Mr.. Bryan was pro-

It was over two years ago that DR..

clared war on Servia, advised him to
start for home as soon as possible.
That was why he arrived home last

Hundred Citizens Reported to
Have Been Executed for
Shooting Soldiers.

OSTEND, Sept. S.-Dinant, Belgium,
has been destroyed by German troops
by bombardment and burning, in re-
prisal for alleged shooting by civilians
from the heights overlooking the city.
1t is reported that one hundred
prominent citizens were executed in
the Place d'Armes.
Dinant, which had a population of
about 5000, dated back to the sixth
century. The town was picturesqueT
situated beneath limestone cliffs nes<.

mounted by the walls of an old fort
ress, much decayed through neglect.
reared to defend the town against APP
proach by the river.
Dinant frequently has been the
scene of warfare. In 1856 Duke Philip
the Good pesieged the town with 10000
men. and when it surrendered permit
ted his men to pillage it for three
DAYS and then set 1t on fire. Bound
in twos, eight hundred of the inhabit-
ants were drowned in the Mouse.
while Philip, although i'll, witnessed
the executions from the litter on
which he was carried to the river
bank. Afterwards, even the walls or
the building were leveled, so that not
a vestige of the town should remain.
The town was rebuilt by Charles the
Bold, Philips son, but it again was
sacked and burned in 1854 by the
French.
The principal building of historic
interest was the Church of Notre
Dame, built in the thirteenth century.
The town was the centre of manufac-
tories of metallic wares glass, paper
and leather.

.GAL|C|A IS MADE
RUSSIAN PROVINCE,
BY CARS DECREE
Petrograd Report Also Says
Austrian Army Is About
to Surrender.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 8.-Galicia Is
now a Russian province. An otnclai
proclamation issued today and signed
yesterday by Car Nicholas making
this announcement emphasizes the
extent of the great Russian victory
over Austria.
All of Eastern Galicia as far as the
River Save is now declared to be held
by the Russians. and they are re-
ported to have crossed the Save in
great force south of Przemysl and TO
be marching northward to attack that
city and Jaroslav in both front and
rear.
1t is the intention of the Russian
general staff to take these positions
as soon as possible, so that general
movement northward against the
remnants of the Austrian army can
be begun.
The Austrian armies of General
Moritz Won Nuremberg, former Aus
trian minister of war. and General
Dankl are reported as almost com
pletely surrounded by a vastly
superior Russian force.
Their surrender is looked for.
Already they have suffered terrible
losses. They are now penned IN
Northern Galicia and in Russian
Poland near Krasnik and Zamasc,
being attacked in front by Russian
army totaling nearly 100000 men with
more than 1000 guns. In addition
another strong Russian army is ad-
vancing from the southeast to attack
the Austrians and their German rein
forcements from the flank.
But it is not alone the Russian
army that they are fighting. Their
sanitary arrangements have been
very bad, and an epidemic of dis
ease is reported ravaging the troops
Thousands of Austrians have died OF
dysentery, and many prisoners were
taken, suffering from the dread dis
ease. Because of this all of the Aus
trian prisoners, including the wound
ed, have been isolated.
That the Vienna government real.
ICES the seriousness of the situation
is shown by reports from the Russian
secret agents that Vienna is being
prepared for o siege. Thousands of
men have been put to work strength
ening the Vienna defenses, and q
complete new line of intrenchments
is being constructed around the city.
Heavy guns are being mounted and
the natural advantages of the city
are being utilized to every possible
extent.
The Russians are advancing
through the entire territory between
Vistula and the Bug rivers In adj
dition, the Russians, as the result of
the. extreme mobility of the Cossack
cavalry, have been able to command
the passes through the Carpathian
mountains This will open the way
for an advance into Hungary along
the direct road to Budapest.

SEEK TO PROTECT
ART WORKS IN WAR
BY the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-President
Wilson took under consideration to-
day suggestion from Ambassador
Herrick at Paris, that the United
States approach the powers in an
effort to have their armies regard his
toric buildings, monuments and works
of art as international property"
Ambassador Herrick cabled the
suggestion after the diplomatic rep
resentatives in France of several
neutral countries had indicated their
desire of their governments to sup
port the project.
The particular purpose of the move,
1t is understood. is to save monu-
ments and works of art in Paris from
being destroyed in the event of a
German bombardment or capture of
the city; but from it has resulted an
effort to have all armies respect such
property on entering towns of the
enemy.
1t was not known today what
course the Washington government
would take in the matter. as it does
not wish to be in the position oil
creating military advantages or dis
| advantages to either army at Paris
though it may inaugurate a genera
movement for the protection of paint
ings and famous buildings.
