Turkey Retuses Request To Send
 Shlb To Capital
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCHl

WASHINGTON, Sept 3-Turkey has declined 10 grant the request of the United States for permission to send the cruiser North Carolina through the Dardanelles to Constan- tinople to deliver $150,000 in gold deposited here for the relief of Amer jeans in the Ottoman empire. The grand vizier informed the American government that the waters of the Dardanelles had been mined, and it would be unsafe for vessel as large as the North Carolina to go through the straits.
 The grand vizier declared also that it might establish precedent for the passage of other foreign warships, and suggested that the American naval yacht Scorpion, on duty con- stantly in Turkish waters along with other light vessels that serve foreign missions. be sent to sea to meet the North Carolina. This is the sub stance of a long cablegram received at the White House and state de- partment from Ambassador Morgen- thau, the first message in several days. He. made no mention of any ,declaratiop of war. but referred to the diplomatic situation as highly critical. The ambassador reported that all Americans who wished to leave had done so, and he thought the funds on board the North Caro- lina would be sufficient for immedi- ate needs.

CONGRESS WILL HEAR MESSAGE
 0N VAR TAXES
Will Meet in Joint Session This Afternoon and Listen to Presidents Reasons for Wishing the Revenue Measure
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-Congress will meet in joint session tomorrow afternoon to hear the presidents mes sage asking for war tax revenue measure that will provide $100-000O00 A concurrent resolution providing for 8 joint session was adopted in both houses today
 Ii is understood the president will confine his message to the necessity for an emergency revenue measure without suggesting means for raising funds. It is said to be his desire, how ever, that the tax should not fall too heavily on any particular class of ,citi- zens The president submitted his message to Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means com rnittet who will frame the revenue bill. Later he communicated to the presi- dent the frame work of the tax plan, which he and his associates have pro- posed to meet the expected deficit in customs receipts because of the war. Details of the measure are carefully guarded as congressman have been flooded with protests for many days, Administration leaders desire to have the measure clearly determined before
 it is made public to avoid interference by the various intersts aix4sted. The bill will be ready for introduction next week.
 Completion of the administration anti trust legislative program advanced a step further when the conference committee on the federal trade com
 mission bill reached an agreement. The conference report will be submitted to both houses tomorrow.
 Although the conferees rewrote many sections relating to the organi- Zation of the new commission. the changes largely were matter of phrase ology. The principal changes made re- late to the provisions for couD re- view. appeal from the decree of the
 commission to be made direct to the

BUTTE, Sept. 3.-Martial law was made more effective tonight by Major Donahue, who named Lieutenant Baker as news censor A summary court was organized by Major Roote, who assumed jurisdiction as police judge and tried the cases of all per sons arrested by the police.
 Of 32OO miners employed on the day shift of the Anaconda Copper Mining company in the Butte camp, it is said that only thirty mine failed to report fer duty. The closing of the saloons is given credit by the mine bosses for the large percentage of men reporting.
 Members of the Western Fedora ton of Miners are jubilant over the arrest of seven men connected with the new union. These will be tried tomorrow on charges to be preferred bv the military commission. Seven members of the Industrial Workers of the World who were arrested in a raid by the police on their head quarters were the first to be tried by the summary court. Four were found guilty of vagrancy, fined $100 ara senten'fd to three months in jail. Later the fine and sentence were suspended providing they leave Butte within twelve hours.

Later Executive of City and Municipal Councillors Pay Visit to New Commander and Are Made Responsi- ble for Citizens
[AssoCIArED PRESS DIsPATcHl

LONDON, Sept. 3.-A dispatch from Amens, France to the Daily Mail, dat ed Tuesday, declares the Germans have taken possession of Arniens after three days fighting.
 Tt was seven o'clock Sunday even- ing" says the Mail correspondent,
 when a party of Uhlans entered Aml- ems by the Rue Jules Barny. The French retired to Picquigay, eight miles southwest, blowing up both bridges over the Somme.'
 After the brief reconnaissance the
 Uhlans retired. Half an hour later they returned accompanied by an en- voy bearing white flag. The latter interviewed the mayor at the town nall. After an hours discussion the mayor appeared in front Of the town hall with trumpeters and officially announced the surrender of the city. He urged the citizens to make no disturbances. Later the mayor and municipal coun- cillors drove in carriages to pay for nal visit to the German commander who told them they would be held re- sponsible with their lives for the good conduct of the citizens. The Germans thereupon went to the town hall, where they hauled down the French flag and
 hoisted the German colors. German l troops began entering the city about
 midday Monday, singing as they came, Die Yacht am Rhein" and "Deutch- land UeDer Aiies. No time W as vast ed, however, as orders were to move
 swiftly out on the high roads to Paris. Oniy a few men were left to guard the city"

 MT.

PARIS. Sept 3-Beginning tonight no persons may leave O. enter Paris between in the evening and ) in the morning without a military pass, Automobiles may enter freely during the day but cannot leave without permits. Persons are permitted to rass withou. challenge through cer- tain gates while other gates are closed. Gardeners bringing fresh vegetables to the city are permitted access at half hour intervals during the night.
 Again today Paris showed it's re- markable adaptability to circum : stances Though all allusions to such contingency have been stric- ly forbidden in the newspapers, that the government would be transferred eral days ago, among journalists and rublic officials and in military circles. Among these persons the effect of the announcement had been largely discounted. The public, after it's first surprise, is viewing the situation with composure and tonight there seems to be a better feeling all around. Military secrets are being so well guarded that all reference to them is merely speculation; but it is a reasonable supposition that General Joffre prefers to accept a decisive battle against the Germans in front of the forts and the entrenched camp of Paris.
 The government will issue a proc lamation tomorrow transferring the Bank of France from Paris to Bo' deaux.

Official News Briefer

LONDON. Sept 3.-As the lines around Paris tighten, and the Ger man forces draw closer to the French capital, official statements regarding the progress of the war grow briefer and more and more lacking in details So far as the public is concerned little is actually known as to how armies in the field are faring. Most of the information from official quarters is of a negative character, for instance the announcement from the French war office that there has been no contact with the German forces in the region of Compiegne Salines since Wednesday. and that the situation in the northeast is un : changed. The attitude of Turkey is still awaited with much anxiety.
 The towns of Compiegne and Sa- lines, respectively 45 and 32 miles northeast of the French capital, ap- pear to mark the points nearest Par is to which the German advance guards have approached
 With the removal of the govern- ment to Bordeaux all efforts around Paris have been directed to prepara tions for the threatened investment ot the capital by the Germans. In addition the French authorities have ordered the aeroplane patrols to guard against any further raids by German aviators.

PARIS, Sept. 3.-The entire diplo- matic corps with the single exception of Myron T. Herrick, United States ambassador to France, has left Paris accompanying the French government to Bordeaux. This course of Mir Her ricks is warmly commended by the ministry of foreign affairs because the representative of the most powerful neutral government will be able to serve the French, as well as his own people, should occasion arise.
 MT. Herrick's reason for remaining is to better look after the interests of several thousand Americans who are in Paris as they are principally permanent
