WILSON To SPEAK
BEFORE CONGRESS
PRESIDENT WILL DELIVER PER.
soNAL MESSAGE ON THE
PROPOSED WAR TAX.

Washington. D. c.. Sept. 2.-Presi
dent Wilson returned to tho capita
this morning from the summer VIII VII.
house at Cornish, N. n.
within ten minutes after the presi.
dent arrived at the white house he
was hard at work. He saw several
callers. His health was much I'M
proved.
He will address congress personally
asking that war tax measure De
passed to supplement the falling GUS
toms revenues. Soon after returning
to Washington today he got In touch
with congressional leaders and may
deliver it late tomorrow
The president today requested
denial of reports that he had sent a
protest to Emperor William OF Ger
many against the reported destruction
OF Belgian cities by German troops.
White house officials said that the
president had taken absolutely no ac-
ton.
President Wilson today signed the
war insurance risk bill.
The vice presidents statement was
made in an authorized interview
which concluded thus:
''The democratic party will have but
one candidate for president in 1916,
and his name happens to be Woodrow
Wilson. He will have the entire and
unqualified and united support OF his
party. Fair minded democrats will
recognize that he is entitled to a
chance for a second term to prove the
utility of his policies.
Lightning rods all up may as well
be taken down and preserved for fu-
ture use; democratic lightning will
not strike a rod in 1916"

CONSULAR SERVICE
WILL BE CHANGED

Washington, D. c., Sept 2.--Reor-
ganization of the consular service to
permit of the transfer Of officers from
one post to another without change of
grade or pay was proposed in a bill
under consideration today by the
house foreign affairs committee. I'm
der the present plan consul assigned
to one particular city could not be
transferred to another place without
losing rank or pay. Impelled by the
war situation in Europe, the state de-
partment has urged change in that
system.

GERMAN CHARGES
CALLED FEROCIOUS
British Meet Attack With
Heroism and Fighting
Is Greatest Ever

London, Sept. 2.-The Chronicle cor
respondent from an unnamed point
in France. gives description obtained
from omcers Of the great battle neal
Mons on August 28. He says:
"All soldiers agree that Wednes
days battle was by far the most terri.
BILE. Certainly 1t came at the end OF
several days fighting but they tell me
the Germans put more strength into
that days work than perhaps any
other.
."An officer told me it was terrible
day. think the Germans knew that
here was an opportunity to wipe out
the British force and they brought up
vast numbers Of their best and fresh
est men. The German forces assailed
the British position not only with de.
termination but with what I can only
Justly call ferocity.
"No doubt the German general, stan
we're Of the opinion that the British
forces could not stand before an at.
tack by an enemy twice as strong in
numbers and much stronger In artil.
lerv. II was really the hrst occasion
fns historY on which 4 battle has taken
place between German and Brit
|ish army and I think when We can
read its story as we can that of Water
loo It will be found that that battle in
which twice as many men were en-
gagged as at Waterloo. deserves far
higher place purely as a military
achievement:
1T was something really awe in
spring, another officer said. in speak
ing Of the same day, to see those ter
rife German rushes. The attacking
forces were we'll served, too, by artil-
lery and that has not always been the
case. Generally the artillery fire of
the Germans has been rather poor
When you saw the rush start you
thought nothing on earth could stop It.
That those tremendous cheering
throngs were stopped and the attack
ers driven back in disorder is due in
the first place, am certain to the
magnificent markmanship Of the Brit
ish soldiers. The officers naturally
expected good deal in this particular
direction but do not think they
thought the men would do so superbly
in actual warfare
AT the end OF weeks hard march
ing and harder fighting and in the
face of perhaps the fercest frontal at
tack every delivered in modern war
fare 1t must have surprised the Ger
mans. Judging from what they saw
the officers say that Wednesday was
the most sorry day for Germans since
the war began"

AMERICANS FILE A
PROTEST ON BOMBS

Washington, D. O., Sept. 2.--Ambas-
sador Herrick transmitted to the state
department today the protest OF
committee Of Americans In Paris
against the dropping of bombs by Ger
man airships.
The ambassador cabled that the
French war Office had furnished evt-
dence that the bombs were dropped by
Germans as small German flags ana
proclamations addressed to the French
were contained In them. The ambas.
sador made no protest of his own 10
cord, simply stating that 1t was the
conviction Of Americans who investi-
gated the subject that the incident
was violation of The Hague conven-
ton and contrary to the rules Of civil

pressed that war between Turkey and

mean ito allow Turkey to attack
Greece {her differences with Greece
being the smallest of her concerns to-
day), but to prepare for other and
much more important contingencies. .
Mobilization has brought to arms

mentioned in yesterdays dispatch, but
probably over five hundred thousand" !"
said the ambassador.
At the British embassy 1t was be-
lieved that If Turkey declares war on
Russia the two German battleships,
Goeben and Breslau, recently trans
ferred to Turkey, would be sent into
the Black sea. 1t was predicted that
the entrance of Turkey into the war
would produce no change in the activ-
tiles of France or England.
The Turkish ambassador here said
today he was unable to confirm the
report. that his country had declared
war on Russia. He has not been in

ment for days.

Then as suddenly he became alarmed
for the safety Of the remainder among

he therefore marched back the 5000

"The citizens seeing these men

were fleeing in confusion. Some Of
