URGE WILSON To
BE A CANDIDATE
LEADERS ARE ALREADY URGING
Him TO RUN FOR THE PRES
IDENCY IN 1916.

Washington, Sept "A published
statement by Vice President Marshall
declaring that President Wilson
should run for reelection in 1916 and
would be the unanimous choice of his
party aroused wide interest in con
gressional circles today but white
house officials refused to make any
comment.
In democratic circles, however. it
is taken for granted that the presi-
dent will be a candidate, although it
was stated that so far as known he
has not given the question any per
sonal attention.
The denomination of several sena.
tors and representatives who have
supported the president on various
questions has encouraged democratic
campaign managers. In this connec-
tion particular attention was paid to-
day to the nomination of Representa-
tive Hardwick for senator IRON Geor-
gia. The praise of the presidents s
Mexican policy in several democratic
state platforms recently also has
pleased the presidents adherents.

lowing statement through the Rus
sian consulate here;
Colonel GolejewsH, military at.
tache to the imperial Russian EN-
bassy, has called our attention to the
statement made by the German am
bassador in an interview in which he
says that the Poles already have
risen in rebellion and Russian tele-
grams stated that the Poles are to DO
treated as enemies. This decides the
fate of Russia. This news, further
more. comes from Russia. 1t was not
made in Germany
Count Bernstorff evidently has
misunderstood or misquoted the news
that did come from Russia on the sub
1ect A manifesto to ali Poles, Rus
sian or Austrian, the grand duke,
commander-in-chief, issued some time
ago an order to the army to treat all
Poles especially leniently and give
them even as prisoners or inhabi-
tants of the region that the Russian
army occupies. kind and considerate
treatment This is the attitude OF
Russia toward the Poles.
But the commander-in-chief de
clared also that Galician Polish
sokols, that is, armed troops of
gymnastic society in Austrian Poland,
cannot be considered as regular sol
diers, but only as franc tierers,' and
treated as such. This is an accepted
rule of regular warfare, recognized
by everybody and especially rigor-
ously enforced by the Germans them
Count Bernstorff seems to have
generalized this last order and ap-
piled it not to the sokol franc tier
eurs but to all Poles.
There is no doubt but that both
OF these orders came from Russia,
but the wrong Interpretation of them
was certainly made somewhere
else.
81 consider it my duty to give this
explanation In the interest of truth
and the press can easily find the text,
both of the manifesto and of these
two orders, as they have been pub
lished in American papers"

ZeppeIins Are Active.

London, Sept. $3.50 p. mae
cording to an Antwerp dispatch to
the Evening News, the Zeppelin air
ship which appeared over Antwerp
just before / o'clock this mornin :
eirc,ed over only the southeasterly
part of the city. the alarm was
quickly given by the forts. The
searchlights played upon the airship
but rather ineffectiyely because the
Zeppelin had appeared just before
dawn after q clear moonlight night.
Shots were fired at it and it is be-
lieved the airship was hit.
At Deurne, two miles east of Ant
werp, the Zeppelin apparently made
efforts to reach the wireless installa-
tion. She dropped bombs and three
houses were hit, four persons being
wounded
At Berchem, inside the inner forti-
fications, bomb destroyed some
telegraph wires over the streets. Al
another point a bomb fell close to the
railway lines but did no damage.

Dorary arrangement.
Regarding the progress OF the
battle which the Germans are

of how the tide Of battle is flow
ing.
Direct advlces from the Rus
sian capital give the official re-
ports OF a battle lasting seven
days between the Russians and
Austrians around Lemberg, capi-
tai of Galicia, in which the Rus
slams were successful, forcing the
Austrians to retreat and selling
heavily fortified positions. The
Russians captured $50 guns and
the Austrians are said to have
suffered enormous losses. In this
battle three full Austrian army
corps and parts of two others
were engaged.
Two French aviators have pur-
sued German aeroplane over

of shots in the air but the Ger
man escaped
