The talk OF Professor Dalrym.

the regret that there were no

ARMIES NEARING BIG CLASH
Hand 90 Hand Battle Expected When
Forces Rush-Fight Probably Will
Be Decisive.

London, Sept. 2S.-The Germans
have steadily met assault with
counter-assaut until the trenches Of
the opposing armies in France are
only sprinting distance apart. AL
ready there has been some work with
the steel in hand-to-hand conflicts,
but except at single point where
they forced a passage across the
Meuse. the Germans, half of whose
army is kept busy on the Russian
frontier, had up to last night found it
impossible TO break through the hu-
man barrier stretching across
France.
Word from the front describes the
encounters. On one occasion the
French and British held positions
within a quarter Of a mile from the
German front, where they we're not
in danger from the heavy German
artillery and were sheltered from
the machine guns unless they came
into the open.
French and British on the left wing
have repulsed for days the attacks
Of the Germans who have been
endeavoring to take the allies posi-
tons by assault.
The British. however. did not by
any means bear the whole brunt of
the fighting, for the French troops,
including a division Of the famous
colonial infantry and the Turcos as
well as many battalions of French
regulars and others composed Of
territorial troops, also faced success
fully prolonged attacks, which were
delivered with great ferceness.

PRESIDENT WILSON DEFiED
By TURKISH AMBASSADOR
A. Rustem Bey Refuses TO Retract In
terviews and Says He Will Leave
United States Soon.

Washington. Sept. 25.-That A. Rus
TEN Bey, Turkish ambassador to the
United States. has asked his govern
ment for leave OF absence was Off
cially stated at the White House.
The envoy has sent word 10 the
White House TO this effect. Further
comment by administration officials is
declined.
IL is understood that Rustem Bey
told the president frankly in his letter
that he still supported the position he
took in several interviews, but that
in view Of having incurred the DIS
pleasure OF the United States he thinks
it best to leave his post.
The interviews 10 which the Turkish
ambassador referred was contained In
a statement given to the press on Sep
TENDER /. in which A. Rustem Bey
protected the name of his native coun-
try. In part he had said:
That there have been massacres in
Turkey ! cannot. unfortunately, deny,
but the Armenians and Maronites. who
were the victims, suffered at the hands
OF the Moslems not as Christians but
as political agitators."
After referring TO the Pogroms OF
Russia. the smos,ng to death OF Al
gerians by France and severe meas
ures adopted in England to punish In
dian mutineers. the diplomat has the
following to say about the United
States:
And since a large number OF Amer
lean papers are siding with Great Brit
ain and France in this affair. | will
permit myself TO say that the thought
OF the lynchings which occurred daily
in the United States and the memory
OF the water cures in the Philippines
should make them ch4ry Of attacking
Turkey in accordance with acts OF
savagery committed by her under
provocation compared with which the
economic competition OF an Italian or
the sniping OF n Filipino. or even the
outrage OF a negro. are as nothing"
The Turkish diplomat charged that
England was maneuvering through
diplomacy TO get the United States
embroiled in the European fray on the
side OF the allies.
Later A. Rustem Bey gave other in
teryiews to the press. commenting
upon subjects OF United States domes-
tic concern. and these were the cause
OF intense annoyance on the part OF
President Wilson.
Though the state department A.
Rustem Boy was courteously asked TO
discontinue his comments.

MACHINE States
WIN IN new YORK
Glynn, Democrat. and Whitman,
Republican. Nominated.
Davenport and Sulzer Run Neck and
Neck on Progressive Ticket, Tam
many Candidates Successful

New York, Sept. So-called 'or-
ganization" candidates APPARENTLY
swept the boards in the statewide
primary yesterday for every nomina-
ton except United States senator on
the Republican ticket.
With practically all Of the New
York city vote and a seventh of the
upstate vote in early this morning, it
seemed certain that Governor Martin
II. Glynn was the Democratic guber-
Material nominee and District Attor-
ney Charles S. Whitman, the Repub-
lican.
Former Governor William Sulzer
and former State Senator Fred
Davenport were cunning close to-
gether for the Progressive guberna-
torial nomination and both claiming
the victory.
James w. Gerard. ambassador to
Germany, led Franklin ID. Roosevelt
by wide margin for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator
while James S. McDonough was third.
The Republican senatorial nomina-
ton was somewhat in doubt. William
NJ. Calder piled up a big lead, but
late returns from upstate showed
James w. Wadsworth, Jr., was gain
ing rapidly. cambridge Colby won
an uncontested victory for the Pro-
gressive senatorial nomination.
John A. Hennessy. who headed the
anti -Tammany ticket against Cover
nor Glynn, was gaining in late re-
turns from upstate, but his friend
admitted that he had no chance Of
victory.
Returns on the congressional con-
tests were very incomplete, but those
received indicated that most Of the
present New York members of both
parties were renominated.
The Tammany candidates for the
Assembly in New York city appeared
to have won. These included Alfred
f. Smith. the Tammany leader in the
Assembly.
The organization candidates for
the State Senate. both Democratic
and Republican. appeared TO have
won also. with few exceptions.
