"It is in the region included between
the plateau to the north of Sezanne and
Vitry- -le- Francois that the most desper-
ate fighting occurred. In this region
there have been operating besides the
left wing of the army of General Won
Buelow, the army of Saxony and a part
of the army commanded by the prince of
Wuertemberg. The Germans have tried
TO break our center by repeated and
violent attacks. Our success on the plat
eau to the north of Sezanne enabled US
in our turn to take the offensive and in
the course of Thursday night the enemy
stopped fighting on the front between
the marsh of st. Gonde and Sommesons
district and fell back in the region west
of Vitry-le- Francois.

TO RECOVER NATIONAL RIGHTS
Is Turkeys Purpose, Explained Ambas
sador in Washington.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 2.--Arustem
Bey. the Turkish ambassador, explained
TO Secretary Bryan yesterday that Iur.
i key's abrogation of her conventions and
capitulations granting special privileges
to powers was step taken merely 10
recover her national rights.
The ambassador pointed out that the
effect OF the action was not to terminate
tbe treaties of 1880 and 1862 between
the United States and Turkey, but to
remove those extra territorial rights
which the American government has en-.
loved under a most favored nation
clause.
State department officials studied the
treaties and Turkish laws carefully yes
terday. but it was not determined what
the attitude of he United States would
be.
The following statement was author
lied last night by the ambassador sew
eral hours after he had talked with
Secretary Bryan on the subject:
"In abrogating the capitulations, Tur-
KEY is simply recovering national rights
belonging to nation, some OF which
were granted by her in the middle ages
in unwise moods of liberality; others
wrested from her; others again came
to be abandoned as a corollary OF the
abandonment of the former. The situa-
tion can be stated by saying that Iur-
KEY has decided to be mistress in her
own house.
Like any contract which in its tenor
disregards the general principles OF right,
MS. for instance, the contract stipulatlng
the sale of one human being TO another,
the capitulations have no sanction in
ethics and Turkey was free to dissolve
them
"She had tried to attain that end by
negotiations, but the great powers OF
Europe subordnated their consent to
such onerous conditions that taking adj
vantage of the present stipulation Tur-
kev decided to do away with the capt.
ulations by an unilateral decision Of
her own.
"The United States enjoys some OF the
privileges of the capitulations by virtue
of the most favored nation clause insert
ed in the treaty concluded with Turkey
in 1890, that is, the United States be-
came the beneficiary of the capitulations
only incidentally.
"The statement that the American
missionary institutions in Turkey are
affected by the capitulation is mae
cttrate These institutions exist in Tur-
kew by virtue of general laws governing
the empire"

London, Sept. l2-Although the Ger

best troops back to Prussia to meet the
Russian advance, it is not for a moment
thought here that there win be any long

prince of Wuertemberg's army, is still
fighting, and all that the French report
saws of this battle is that there is no
great change.
The Germans have brought up some
siege guns against Nancy, and here, as
in the Vosges, it is reported these is
no change.
