 Events yesterday in the region of the north have neither imperilled nor view of the future developments of operations in the region between Vosges and Nancy. Our troops con tinue to progress. In the region be- tween Vosges and Nancy our offen- sive movement has continued unin- terruptedly five days.

DEMOCRATS ID REVISE PROGRAM
 0F LEGISLATION
President in No Hurry to Have Bill Passed Giving I. c. c. Regulative Power Over Issuance of Rail road Securities
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATcHl

ASSOCIATED PRESS DlSPATCHJ
 WASHINGTON, August 27-The president let it be known that there will be no insistence upon the pass age at this session of a bill authOriz- ing the interstate commerce commis sion to regulate the issuance of rail- road securities.
 In congress this was taken as an assurance that the measure will not be considered further at this time, administration leaders contenting themselves with the federal trade commission bill and the Clayton bill to supplement the Sherman law to complete the antitrust legislative program.
 It is probable that a democratic caucus will be held in the near future to revise the legislative program. With railroad securities legislation eliminated, it is predicted that the conferences on trust legislation could complete their work in two weeks further and that war emergency le- gislation, including the revenue meas ure will be disposed of in a month.
 By October 1 the necessary busi- ness of congress will be concluded. Whether there will be adjournment then. leaders agree, will depend upon conditions in Europe. Administra- tion senators entrusted with the Clayton bill were accused today of emasculating the measure and caus- ing great rejoicing among trust magnates. Senator Clapp declared that when the trust barons view the process they will think the measure has been treated in a Sunday school conference instead of in a legislative body" The attack followed the adop- ton of amendments striking out pro- visions for jail sentences for violat- tors of prohibitions against holding companies and the purchase of sup plies by railroads from corporations with common directors or officers.
 Members of the judiciary commit tee explained that as the prohibit mite it was best to allow the trade commission to enforce it's provisions by injunctions. They also urged un- der another section that personal guilt should be fastened upon of ficers of corporations violating the law.
 Senator Clapp declared that the effective language of the house had been stricken out and language put in that limited personal guilt to the provisions of the Sherman anti trust law that already provided for crim- inal punishment He wanted the personal guilt section extended to the provision of the Clayton anti trust bill but it was defeated by 31 to IS.
 My heart ached for the oppor- tunity to vote to put trust magnates in jail" commented Senator Martins My prediction is that the people will not hold this body guiltless of salving over the sins of magnates." Senator Culbertson, in charge oi the bill. sought unsuccessfully to gel an agreement to limit debate afte, Saturday to fifteen minute speeches

Method Is Described By
 English Re1Mgee
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

LONDON, Aug. 27-The method used by Zeppelin airships in dropping bombs has been described as follows by an English refugee, who has just arrived here from Belgium:
 "The dirigible hovers over it's ob- jective at sufficient altitude to keep it out of range of the enemy's guns. At the same time it lowers a steel cage attached to a steel wire rope, 2000 or 5000 feet long. This cage is divided into compartments and carries one man whose duty it is to throw down bombs. The cage is sufficiently strong to make rifle fire against it ineffective. Because of it's small size and because of the fact that it is kept constantly in mo- tion. it is very difficult for heavy guns to hit it.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Foreign ad- vices exercised a depressing influence at this financial center today.

Despite denials in high quarters it is believed that a syndicate of bankers is in the process of organization for the purchase of some German ships now lying in this and other harbors.

 More railroads are lifting the em- bargo on foodstuffs recently declared at Louisville and Texas ports. There was more sensational trading in wheat and corn at Chicago, with general re- sessions at the close. It is regarded as significant that seaboard shippers paid the highest prices recorded today, and domestic handlers were content to wait for the subsistence of the excite :nent.
 The receivership for the Interna- tional Pump company occasioned little surprise. The company's affairs have been a matter of common knowledge, but the close was hastened by the war.

have hoped in view of the paucity
 of the roads and the strength of the fortresses to have gone through with out formidable opposition, entailing great loss of time This loss of time would mean time gained by the Rus sians for bringing up their troops to the German frontier. Rapidity of action was the great German asset, while that of Russia was an inex- haustible supply of troops.
 T pointed out to Herr Won Jagow that this violation of the Belgian frontier rendered, as he would read fly understand, the situation exceed
 ingly grave, and I asked him whether there still was not time to draw | back and avoid possible consequences which both he and I would deplore. He replied that for the reasons he had given me it was now impossi-
 ble for him to draw back
 The British ambassador went to
 the German foreign office again the
 same afternoon and informed the
 secretary of state that unless the inn
 perial government could give assur
 ance by F o'clock that night that
 they would proceed no further with the violation of the Belgian frontier
 and stop their advance, he had been instructed to demand his passports and inform the imperial government that his majesty's government had taken all steps in it's power to uphold neutral Belgium and the observance of the treaty to which Germany was as much a party as Great Britain. Herr Von Jagow," says the re-
 port, replied that to his great re- gret he would give no answer other than which he gave earlier in the day, namely. that the safety of the empire rendered it absolutely neces- sary that the imperial troops should advance through Belgium.
 T gave his excellency written sum- mary of your telegram and pointing out that you had mentioned F o'clock as the time when his majesty's govern ment would expect an answer, asked
 him whether, in view of the terrible consequences which would necessarily ensue, it was not possible, even at the
 last moment, that their answer should be reconsidered. He replied that if the time given was even twenty-four hours or more, his answer must be the same.
