Advantage Of Position.
The Germans have on this line the
advantage of high ground. with the
right protected by the rivers oise ana

to complete a retirement in such shape
as to make a stand on the same line

In case the German force should re-
tire again they would have Two lines
of retreat by Longwy and by SEDAN:
1t remains to be seen whether, under
the adverse conditions the Germans
have been able to get their artillery
into position through the mud. Inc
situation would be desperate in case OF
defeat, for the heavy rains continue
and under the circumstances the Ger
mans could hardly get their heavy ar
til.ery away.
It was rumored last night that the
Indian cavalry had arrived and would
go into action. This is unconf1rmed,
however, and doubtless no one VIII

the French government last night gives
no details from the battle line, except
to say that the allied armies are in
close contact with the Germans every

Breckenridge Thinks the ST.

Enough for Relief.
LEAVES AIDS BEHIND
TO FINISH UP WORK
Assistant War Secretary Lau1s
Diplomats, Especially Commend
ing Gerard's Refugee Plan.

LONDON, September 16, 2:20 pm
Henry S. Breckenridge. the American
assistant secretary of war, arrived In
London today from Havre by way of
Weymouth. on the cruiser Tennessee
The cruiser brought no American
refugees as practically all who desire
to leave France had already done so.
Mr.. Breckenridge expects to remain
here only few days before leaving
for the United States. He says that
his original estimate of 100000 Ameri-
cans In Europe wishing to get away
when the war broke out has been veri-
fed by those engaged in relief work,
for reports show that about that num-
Der had been assisted or are in pro-
cess Of being aided in some way to
leave Europe. He says that he ad-
vised against the use of transports by
the American government because the
transports available for this purpose
were SO unsuitable for passengers &C
customed to regular sailings that much
dissatisfaction would have resulted.
The third-class accommodations on the
regular liners are better than could
have been offered by the transports.
Mr.. Breckenridge believes that the
$7.5O0,00O set aside for the relief of
thinks their government ought not to
be expected to care for Americans who
remain in the war zone after being
duly warned and given an opportunity
to leave at the expense Of the govern

Of taking over the ships of Germany,
but now the first opportunity that we
have heard Of is the case of a British
vessel which the British government
refuse to recognize as an American

of not issuing clearance papers simp y

Bryan Takes Steps to Release
Steamer, Asking South American
Republic to Issue Papers.

Brazilian authorities at Rio have re-
fused clearance to the former British
steamer Robert Dollar, recently trans
ferred to the American flag, and the State
Department has taken up the situation
through the American ambassador.
When the captain of the Dollar raised
the American flag. the British consul at
Rio is reported to have refused his con-
sent to the transfer, and the Brazilian
government accordingly declined to grant
clearance.
Representative Kahn, acting for Cali
fornia owners of the ship, has been in
frequent conference with Secretary Bryan,
and today the State Department cabied
instructions to Ambassador Morgan to
ask Brazil to recognize the transfer and
clear the vessel.
The Robert Dollar is owned by the
Robert Dollar Steamship Company of San
Francisco When the United States gov
eminent offered the ships of the belliger-
ent nations what was supposedly safe
harbor by admitting all foreign vessels
to American registry under simple con-
ditions, as a method of keeping up the
trade of the world, unhampered by the
guns Of scouting cruisers in the lanes OF
trade, the steamer Robert Dollar took adj
, vantage of the situation.
!, However, the captain of the Dollar
cabled to his home office that the British
consul at Rio refused to recognize the
transfer of the British ship to the Ameri-
can flag.

Garden, one-time British minister to

to Brazil, sailing today on the Celtic for
Liverpool. is quoted by the New York City
News Association as having made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the with
drawal OF American troops from Vera
Cruz:
ct is a desperate shame that the
United States has seen 1T to abandon the
decent people of Mexico when they most
need help. I do not know the reason for
this. but it would seem that President
Wilson has been misinformed in some
matters, and that if another side of the

ton he has not seen fit to listen to any
thing that contradicts those who have
told him that the country has been paci-
fed.
