Situation in West Is
Favorable, Says Berlin;
Victory of Allies Denied
By Associated Press

Berlin, via Copenhagen, via Lon
don, Sept. 16, SIS A. M.-The Ger
man staff announces that the situation
on the west front is still favorable"
1t declares that the French and
English have at no place on the whole
battle front won victory and that
the Germans can look with confidence
to the outcome.
The public has been showing signs
of impatience because of the absence
of news from the front and this has
led headquarters to depart from its
practice and issue reassuring state
ments in general terms. The fact that
the Siberian corps was engaged in the
fighting at Lyck, East Prussia, is
noted with interest here as indicating
that the mobilization of this corps
must have been accomplished with
extraordinary rapidity to enable it to
arrive in Europe within six weeks
after the Russian mobilization order
was issued.
No detailed account of the sinking
of the cruiser Hela has been given
out. 1t was merely stated that 81 of
the 1877 members of the crew were
saved

Helgoland was Admiral Mas, COM

Russia's Sacrifice
Saved French Troops

London, Sept. 16, 2.S5 A. MA
Petrograd dispatch to the Post says
1T is only now that the. opportunity
presents itself to exhibit in due pro-
portions the self sacrificing strategy
of Russia at the very opening of the
war for the purpose of tightening the
task of her allies.
The immediate necessity was to
prevent the destruction of the French
armies by rapid diversion. This Rus
sia accomplished magnifiCently. Her
raid in East Prussia right up to
Koenigsberg at once relieved the pres
sure upon France by compelling Ger
many to withdraw her best troops
from France and supplant them with
reserves. This movement is still in
progress.
THE services Russia performed
were costly to herself but priceless to
her allies. There was but scanty
chances that Russia could succeed in
reaching suitable territory for deci-
sive battle.
1T should be on record now. when
changed circumstances are compelling
Russia to return to a. strategic scheme
more advantageous to the develop
ment of her enormous resources, that
she already has withdrawn consider
able force from East Prussia and no
surprise will he felt here if Russia
withdraws entirely within her own
frontier "

Dauphin, Pa, Sept. 16.- An OLD
landmark, of Dauphin. black wal
nut tree. over one hundred years DID,
standing at the head of Market Square
was set on fire at noon esterday by
two small boys who were playing with
coal oil and matches. The boys pour
ed the oil on the roots of the tree
and then touched it with a llghted
match. A fire sprung up Immediately
and spread to the inside of the tree
where it burned all day. The Rev:
Robert f. Stirling, Guy Walters ana
David Garman, living near, bored
holes in the tree, which is hollow, ana
put a long water hose through. Dur
ing the afternoon the village hose cart,
pulled by several boys, arrived on the
scene of action, but their efforts were
in vain.
Towards evening the fire began to
lessen and by o'clock was entirely
out. 1t is feared that the old tree
will have to be chopped down. pc

If this is done it will be to the sor-

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine -tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the stom-
ach itself is not diseased but if this
acid condition is allowed to continue,
the acid is very likely to eat into the
stomach walls ana produce stomach
ulcers which may render a radical sur
gical operation necessary even to pro-
long life. Therefore, an "acid stoma CHI
is really a dangerous condition and
should he treated seriously. II is ut
terly useless to take pepsin and ordi-
nary stomach tablets The excess acid
or stomach hyperaCiditY must be neu-
tralized by the administration of an eff
hcient antacid. For this purpose the

Germans Will Make

Paris. Sept is, $50 A. M.-The off,
cial communication of Monday which
referred to the preceding days de-
velopments said that the enemy
showed disposition to resist north of
the Aisne river. Yesterdays official
communication said that the enemy
resisted on the line from Craonne and

the center in the battle of Marine
seem also to be seeking a position on
the same line while the Crown Princes

1t remains to be seen whether under
the adverse conditions the Germans
have been able to get their artillery
into position through the mud. The

mans could hardly get their heavy
artillery away.

GARDEN COMMENTS
ON WILSON'S ACT
One Time British Minister Says
President Does Not Know
True Conditions
BY Associated Press

New York, Sept 16.-Sir Lionel
Garden, one time British minister TO
Mexico and recently appointed minis
ter to Brazil, sailing to-day on the Gel
tic for Liverpool, is quoted by the New
York city News Association as having
made the following statement concern
| ing the withdrawal of American
troops from Vera Cruz:
"It is n desperate shame that the
| United States has seen fit to abandon
the decent people of Mexico when
| they most needed help. do not know
the reason for this, but 1t would seem
| that President Wilson had been mis-
informed in some matters and that II
another side of the situation has been
| brought to his attention he mas not
| seen fit to listen to anything that con-
tradicts those who have told him that
the country has been pacified.
No Protection Left
"The people who did not get pro-
| lection i'll Mexico City and elsewhere
went to Vera Cruz for protection
What will they do now. They nave
no means of getting away and VIII
| be left to the mercies of the lawless
element that will soon oVerrun the
| town and country.
when It is said that a state OF abso-
lutte anarchy exists in Mexico, it is not
! stating the facts too strongly. There
was some 1000 good policemen in the
city of Mexico, but these have been
supplanted by an army of $4,000 SOL
! diers that fought the federal govern
ment, among these are several thou
sands of wild Yaqui Indians who two
months ago fought with bows and ar
rows as the only weapons they knew.
! Imagine these wild men turned loose
in the streets of a great city With no
law to govern them and with the resi-
dents at their mercy.
Has No Government
| Neither liberty nor property is safe
| and when an officer desires he may
turn a family out of its home and COM
mandeer everything. There is no re-
dress for there are no courts, no con-
gress, no laws-nothing but anarchy
military despotism with not even a
supreme chance to oversee that.
| "Huerta had some sort of n govern
ment; CarranZa has none whatever;
the only claim he has to greatness is
his physique and that is not so terrify-
/ ing either. There is not even martial
law there because there is no organiZa-
! tion. The Zapatistas, wild, roaming
bands of brigands every few days as
sault the water works of Mexico City,
which are only 35 minutes ride from
the city and are all the time trying
to get into town. They are driven
away by superior forces. but again
make an assault when they feel in
clned. But this is only one instance
