London, Sept. 2O.-A "Daily Chron-
icle" correspondent sends the following
from Scissors:
"On arriving here this morning
Thursday ! found matters much as |
left them two days ago. The Germans
still hold heights north Of the Aisne
Valley, and their artillery is engaged
with the French batteries on the south
size. The Allies have, however, crossed
many men over the Aisnc and have es-
tablished guns. scissors is still being
bombarded, but, as several German
batteries have been destroyed, fewer
shells are falling.

tablished in the Chateau of Vauxbuln'
lust south Of the town, which had sut-
fered severely, shells falling round
about it, during the morning. The
gates Of the hospital were blown down
by shells. Another shell destroyed
two motor cars standing at the door.
Fortunately, the wounded, who had
been brought in these cars, had al
ready been removed. The nurses and
patients had an anxious day.

Making Extreme Efforts
to Keep the Russians
Out of Prussia.
STATES OF EMPIRE
REPORTED AT ODDS
Petrograd Suspects Internal
Troubles May Have Caused
Change of Plans,
tBy Gable 10 The Tribune,

PetrogTad, Sept. 20. - Information
has been received here which indicates
the extreme efforts now being put form
by Germany.
German forces still continue passing
in an uninterrupted stream from the
western TO the eastern theatre Of war.
Their places necessarily will be hlled
with something resembling troops, ou'
hardly of a quality to stem the possible
advancing tide Of French and British
from its invasion of Germany's western
provinces.
In order TO collect this last line OF
troops the Germans are offering a pre-
MUM TO foreigners to volunteer for
army service.
The government has invited German
savings banks to take up the war loan,
as Germanophile organs in Sweden eX-
press it, in a statement which probably
covers forcible seizure of the nations
savings for war purposes.
Russian stock during the last few
DAYS has been in eager demand IN Ger
many at prices which represent an ad-
vance of from 30 to 80 per cent on
previous quotations. Since the open
ing of the war the demand has been
greater than hitherto has been expert
enced even in time of peace.
Indications Of serious differences pc
tween the various German states and
the Prussian hegemony are noted mere.
WiirtemberR and Hesse-Darmstadt are
too closely allied with Russia in in
efFaceable memories of the past not 10
resent the manner in which war was
sprung upon them by Prussia, but Ba-
varia Is believed TO have felt this high
handed typical Prussian coup as d.
liberate insult.
Russian intelligence from the minor
German courts suggests that disruption
on a large scale is even now preparing.
This strongly suggests a reason other
than has been supposed hitherto for
the sudden change in the plan OF cant
psign Of the total forces of the German
Empire.
The abandonment Of the spectacular
strategic plan in France and the enor-
nous withdrawal of Germany's prob
ABLY one should say Prussia's-tirst
line forces to meet the Russians on the
east front may have an intimate con-
nection with the internal condition o.
the conglomeration that received the
name of German Empire forty years
apo. but has still TO prove its soil
dsrity as an empire The present war
is the first test to which this very
empire has been put.
Prussia doubtless is keenly alive to
the ACCESSIBILITY of keeping the invader
out of her own private territory,
whether such a movement at such Il
moment be actually to the advantage
Of the general scheme Of the war or
not.

RUSSIANS KEEPING
FOE ON The MOVE
Fighting in Galicia Ex-
tending Over a Steadily
Widening Field.

IBy Wireless via Luisburg, y. 81
Petrograd, Sept. Gothic Russians
continue their regular progress, tax
ing fortified places in their stride and
keeping the enemy tirellssly on the
move.
The latest news shows that the town
Of Jaroslaif is in flames and that the
Russians have begun a homDardment
Of the fortress Of Jaroslaf with heavy
sieg, guns.
The fortress of Przemysl has opened
fire with its heavy guns on the Eus-
slams. Investment OF this fortress,
Austria principal stronghold, has be-
gun. From Lvof lLembcrg) to Cra-
COW is 100 miles, onc-half of which
distance has Been covered by the Rus
SLAMS. Between Jaroslaf and Przemysl
the retreating enemy destroyed the
bridges across the San River.
Jaroslrff stands twenty miles down
stream from Przomysl and thirty miles
above kustria's strongest fortress.
Sambor. another important stra -egic
point, has also been seized by the
Russians.
Sixty miles northwest Of Jaroslaif,
in another part of the titanic battle
field, the Russians lavc taken Sand0-
mir, which WAS fortified in their re-
treat by the Germans. In this neigh
borhood the Russians captured ten
guns and 5000 prisoners.
The whole Of the enormous area Of
the great struggle is now described as
waste through which bodies of sol
diers from the broken armies are wan
dcring in groups and singly, seeking
only to yield themselves prisoners.
Pursuit is still proceeding vigorously.

MERCHANTMEN MAY
ARM FOR DEFENCE
Neutrality Board Rulings
to Go to Warning Ma
tiOnS for Approval.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Sept 20 Detailed reg
ulations for guidance n determining
the character Of merchant vessels
carrying war stores and supplies, which
have been drafted by the Neutrality
Board, we're issued by the State Depart
ment to-day. The regulations will be
sent to all port authorities in the
United States and copies will be sub
mtted TO foreign governments for
scrutiny, to enable them 20 present Oh
jcctions TO any Of the provisions TO
which exception may be taken.
The more important OF the regula-
lions declare that merchant vessel Of
IA brlligurent nationality may carry ar
mament and ammunition for the sole
purpose Of defence without assuming
the character Of ship Of war. IL
rests on the owners or agents, however,
to prove that the munitions are not for
offensive purposes. Common rumor or
susDieion that merchant vessel laden
with fuel or naval supplies intends to
deliver them TO a belligerent warsh.U
i declared TO be insufficient cause for
OBTAINING the vessel unless the sus-
pcion is supported by circumstantlal
evidence.
II is held not to be the duty, accord
ing to the regulations. Of a neutral ma
ton to prevent the shipment of naval
stores and supplies to the port of an
other neutral nation which Is used as
base by belligereEt ships.
The regulations do not apply to fur
nishing munitions Of war included ~
absolute contraband
Evidence necessary TO establish the
fact that merchant vessels arma
mcnt is solely for defence and will not
be used Extensively, whether the arm
ament be mounted or slowed below,
must be presented in each case indie
peudeutly at an official investigation.
Indications that the armament will
/ not be used Extensively are that the
calibre Of the guns does not exceed
six inches; that guns and small arms
are few in number, and that no guns
are mounted on the forward part of
: The vessel.
The vessel must be manned by its
usual crew and clear for port lying
in its usual trade route, carrying only
fuel and supplies sufficient tO carry 1t
to its destination.
/ The cargo cannot be suited TO the
use Of war ship and passengers must

val service of the belligerent whose
hsg the vessel flies or Of any Of its al
lies.

Witnesses declare that the first SHOTS

fact established follows;
"A crowd Of from 5000 TO 5000 men,
women and children were taken by the
162d Regiment OF German infantry on
August % TO the Louvain riding
school where they spent the night,
The place OF confinement was 80 small

sufTcrings were so great that several

an all these villages women who
were unable to escape were exposed TO

ELUDES CRUISERS
in LONG CHASE
Neckar, Wheat Laden,
DOdged English and
French Seven Weeks.

Baltimore, Sept 2O.-With her name
painted out, her Lighthouses, boats and
masts painted p dark brown and her
funnel black. the North German LLOYD
liner Neckar reached here to-day after
lodging back and forth on the Allan
tic for seven weeks. Captain Hinsch
reported that there were few days when
the steamer had been free from pursuit
by a French or English wRrship from
the time she left Havana for Bremen
August 5. All the time she steamed
along without a light, save dim oil
lamp in the chart room.
The last two weeks the food supply
was low and the men had only half
rations each day. An inventory OF her
bunkers after her arrival showed that
there were only about thirty tons OF
coal left
The Neckar sailed from Baltimore
late in July for Galveston. She start
ed on her return trip TO Bremen and
had put into Havana before war was
declared. Although he had been ad-
vised of the declaration Of war and
that it would be unwise to leave Ha-
vana, CAPTAIN Hinsch determined to
make dash for Bremen.
When three hundred miles off the
covered by a British cruiser, which inn
mediately started in pursuit. Captain
Hinsch put on all steam, swung south
ward and after a long chase threw the
cruiser off the track. While making
for South America the Neckar was
forced back again to midAtlantic by
d British cruiser.
Both coal and food were running
low and Captain Hinsch started for
Baltimore. On the way up the coast
the vessel encountered several foreign
warships, but Was comparatively un-
troubled by them, as she kept within
the three-mile limit.
1t was on this lap Of the long vOy-
age that the Neckar's crew had an un-
necessary scare. A vessel was sighted
a few miles away. Through his giasses
Captain Hinsch saw that she carried
guns, and without waiting TO make out
her flag he dashed for mid-Atlantic.
The other vessel stopped and Captain
Hinsch once more studied her. He
made out that she was the Cuban
cruiser Cuba.
