WAR CLOUD BECOMES BLACK
Nine More Nations Likely to Enter
World Conflict.

Bordeaux, Sept 22-French officials
admitted that they believed at leaS>
three, and possibly nine, more nations
would enter the war if it were of long
duration. Reports received here in
dicatc that Italy and Roumania will
soon cast their lot with the allies
and that Turkey will join Germany.
If Turkey enters the lists, Greece and
Bulgaria will undoubtedly do so. -Four
other nations that have preserved
their neutrality thus far have been
steadily pressed to decide one way or
the other. These are Holland, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden. The geo
graphical; location of Norway and
Sweden will help them in their APP
parent efforts to be only onlookers,
but Denmark and Holland are in a
precarious position.
Bucharest, Sept. pa semi-oficial
announcement here says that the
positions of Roumania and Italy are

tion of neutrality

NOW GIVING GROUND.
Reinforcements Fail to Reach Won
Kluck-His Army Believed to be
in Great Danger.

Paris, Sept. 22-Convinced that
Germany now has her entire strength
available, the high military authori-
ties in Paris declared that within
another fortnight, or three weeks al
the outside she will be fighting de
fensive contest outside of French
territory.
They base this belief on the re-
ports, received by General Gallieni,
today that the British French turning
movement: on the left continues with
the Germans giving ground--slowly
and stubbornly-but giving ground,
having been pushed back seven miles
in forty-eight hours.
The German center and left have
seemingly given up the attempt to
assume the offensive, and, should the
left give way, the inevitable outcome
must be the abandonment of their en-
tire present line just the instant that
it gets out of proportion with the
right. :
The fact that the allies are now
holding the hills north of the Aisne
river, from Scissors to Craonne,
proves conclusively, it is pointed out
in Paris, that the 100000 German re-
enforcementes sent to Won Kluck
have failed to permit him to assume
the offensive. He can maneuver no
additional men with out extending his
lines west, and this, the present dis
position OF the allied forces precludes'
as they hold every point of vantage
directly west of the German right
wing.
Although it must be some days be-
fore the movement can get complete
momentum, the French officials de-
clare today there is not the slight
est doubt that the Germans have al
ready commenced withdrawing and
that the battle Of the Aisne, the third
decisive. conflict of the war to date
is to be settled with a second victory
recorded for the allies.
East of Rheims, in the center of
the battle, the allies are preaching
the German line, and have driven the
Germans from strong positions. Tho
Emperor's troops are receding on the
plains of Chalons, stubbornly fighting
but constantly driven. The retreat
in the center adds to the danger of;
Won Kluck's army, and indicates
necessity for general withdrawal to
a new line of defense, probably in
Belgium. -:

London, Sept. pa dispatch to

the Germans continue the lombard

REARREST
Is Faced By COtelI Whose
| Parole
Was Ordered By State Board
Wednesday

Akron, O., June 4-Ordered paroled
by the State Board of Administration,
Romulus Cotell, who has served II
years in the penitentiary on life
sentence for the murder of three Tall
madge residents with a baseball bat
may be re-arrested for murder.
Three indictments were found
against him, but he was convicted and
sentenced on only one, for the murder
of Alvin Stone. The other two indict
ments are for the murders of Mrs. AL
vim Stone and Ira Stilson.
Prosecutor Castle refused today to
say whether he would push the other
cases, but his continued objection in
the past to Cotell being given a parole
may resolve itself into decision to
try Cotell on another indictment.
A protest, signed by Castle, is on
| file at the penitentiary at Columbus
| opposing the parole, for which Cotell's
friends have striven for years, and
| calling attention of the prison officials
to the other indictments.
Relatives and friends of the Stone
family already have indicated strongly
that they will urge Castle to re-arrest
Cotell as soon as he leaves the peni
| tentiary.
Judge J. A. Kohler, who presided al
the Cotell trial, has been active fol
some time in attempts to secure the
release of Cotell.
Edward Dunn, who was County De
| tective at the time of the triple muir
der at Tallmadge took place, is con
vinced that the freeing of Cotell is al
act of long delayed justice, and tina
the prisoner, who now is to go free
after II years Imprisonment, is limo
cent, while the real criminal escaped
punishment.
| Cotell was arrested by Cleveland de
tectives. The fact that $1,000 rewart
was posted for the arrest and convic
tion of the murderer of the Stone fam
lily was an incentive to them, he be
lieves, to fasten the guilt on thei
prisoner.
Criticism was poured on the actor
of the Board of Administration by Su
preme Court Judge r. NJ Wanamake
in commenting on the liberation o
Cotell. Wanamaker was Prosecuting
Attorney when Cotell pleaded guilt,
