WASHINGTON. Sept Formal notice was given the world by the president that the United States at this time cannot pass judgement upon or take any part in the controversies between warning European nations over alleged violations of rules of civilized warfare and humanity He said the settlement of these questions will have to wait until the end of the war, which he prayed might be very soon.
 This announcement was made 70 the Belgian commission and also in a message to the Kaiser and the pres ident of France, both of whom pro tested the use of dum-dum bullets by the other.
 The Belgian commission was re- ceived at the White House with for maj ceremony The president, ac- companied by his military aide and several high officials of the govern ment, greeted the visitors in the east room. and listened With grave atten- ton to their address, setting forth in detail the charges that German sol diery, invading their land, had killed and tortured men, women and chil- dren, destroyed art treasures and sacked cities.
 President then read a prepared re- ply. ''lt will be unwise and it will be premature" he said and for a single government, 1t would even be l inconsistent with the neutral posi- ton of any nation, which, like this has no part in the contest, to form or express a final judgement"

ACCEPT REPORTS WITH DUTCH CALMNESS.

BERLIN VIA ROTTERDAM AND LONDON Sept. 16.-A military critic in a Berin paper says: We must ac- cept news from French sources con- corning the retreat of the Germans with Dutch calmness and not imagine the French are already before Der lin. If the French pursue the Ger. mans with the same haste. az thev are pursued y the Germans they will get into the same difficult position in which the Germans were. The French, however, have one advantage in the support of the Belgian army. but even if the Germans are beaten back ever their own borders the as- pect of the situation will be no bet ter for the French than it was at the beginning of the war"

GERMAN ARMY
 PREPARES TO FIGHT

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The German army which less than fortnight ago was at "the gates of Paris" the right wing of which then extended to ,he southeast of the French capi- tai, has tonight drawn upon almost a straight line, extending from the neighborhoo of Nyon in the west to Boisforges on the Mouse north oe Verdun. with its left resting on the German fortress metes. That the Germans intend give battle on this line with the river Aisne in front of their right, the hills of Rheims fac ing the enter and mountains and the forest of Argonne on their left, there seems little doubt
 They went back steadily before French and English armies, fighting only in rear guard actions until their right in command of General Von Kluck got across the Aisne They then turned and delivered several counter attacks, which, however. ac. cording to the British official report were repulsed the Germans ieavins two hundred prisoners in the hands of the British.
 These counter attacks were doubt less delivered in hope of giving the troops of the right wing exhausted by the long advance followed by im- mediate retreat which was almost as long as the advance. an opportunity of resting and preparing positions from which they could resist an at tack from the allies and in which they could await endorsements be fore taking the offensive again.
 Germans in the hilly country around Noyon and on the plateau north of Vic-Sur-Aisne and Soissons and north of Rheims where they are digging long entrenchments are receiving re- Inducements. But even here this right wing which has up to the pres ent born the brunt of the fighting Tn I'advance and retreat. not altogether safe for the French army operating ! From Amiens clings to it's flank while the British and French forces continue to press in front
 : It is essential, however that they should hold their positions for they cover the lines of retreat to the north which will be the only way out fl defeat should be their lot That they realize this is know by the fact they have been contesting every foot o ground with the allied armies tn, last two days and that both sides have suffered heavily
 The British army, as has been it, lot since it landed in Franc is taking it's fun share Of the fighting wnicl on the front has been particular, severe since the Gerans crossed th, Aisne and made their first determin ed stand in their retreat from Paris
 Losses in Galicia and Poland wher, the fighting has been going on in cessantly for three weeks are ever greater than those in France. On, report from Perograd says the Rus sians have served the communica tions between Craceow and Przemysl
