GERMAN SHELLS FAIL
TODD GREAT DAMAGE
Battle of Scissors Is Described.
Allies Artillery Declared
| to Be Best.
German Cavalry Force Of 5000
Routed at Rousbrugge by 1000
French, It Is Reported.

LONDON. September ia CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph who
witnessed the battle at scissors Sun
day sends the following account of it
THE Germans occupied the heights
all along the valley of the Aisne
whence they were shelling the city
with big siege howitzers. These how
itzer shells make large holes, but
their radius of devastation is only
about twenty yards. Their penetrat-
ing power is their chief value. Some
French soldiers have been killed by
conclusion Of the brain from the eff
feet of these shells, but the number
killed has been small and the number
injured insignificant.
"As for the German shrapnel. which
/ saw bursting about the two steep1es
Of the cathedral of scissors. it ex-
p,oded much too high to do serious
damage-the height of the explosion
being from 300 to 400 feet.
Altogether the German artillery
seemed inferior to that Of the French
and the English"

fifty of them. The Belgians in this

British Colonial Policy.

The G. nan chancellor is equally
unfortunate in his reference to the

which is not aiding Great Britain By
soldiers or other contributions, OF
both, in this war
With regard to the matter of treaty
obligations generally, the German
chancellor excused the breach of Bel.

sity, at the same time making a virtue
of having respected the neutrality OF
Holland and Switzerland, and sayinl
that it does not enter his head te

Wan countries. A virtue which admit
tedly is only practiced in the absence
of temptation from self-interest AM
military advantage does not seer
greatly worth Wanting.
ITO the chancellor's concludine
statement that to the German sword Il
intrusted the care of freedom for the
European peoples and states, the
treatment of Belgium is a sufficient
answer"

ADVANTAGE OF MARKET
TO THE UNITED STATES
Empire Of 10000, COO People, With
Annual Outlay of $300, 900, 900,
Invites Inspection.

LONDON, September 16 GAO amp
The Petrograd correspondent OF the
Times telegraphs that he is authorized
by Sergius Sazonoff. the Russian for
eign minister. to make the following
statement in his behalf:
L quite realize that accounts OF VIC
tories and routs, acts Of heroism and
magnificent assaults may sell news
pa pers. but above and beyond all this
there now EXISTS a situation and an
opportunity in trade and commerce with
Russia to England and to America
which may mean more in the decades
to come than it is easy to realize.
1T is the country which foresees the
situation commercially in Russia that
will reap the enormous benefits that
the Russian markets now offer. 1t is
not enough that merchants and manu-
facturers should offer their goods here.
Invites Presence of Experts.
Experts should be sent here now.
even while the war is still in progress.
to study and examine the wants of our
country. Our duties, our manner OF
doing business and our present and
future wants and growing demands
should be studied scientifically, so that
" hen peace comes those channels which
have for decades flowed deeply with
German products may continue to no"
with products from America and Eng
land.
For America especially does Russia
open opportunities for an industrial
outlet such as can hardly be overesti-
mated. We have an empire of 10000
600 souls and the $300,O00o00 We have
been paying Germany yearly is but the
beginning Of demand that will soon
make Russia among the most desirable
and valuable markets in the world.
Prelude to Prosperity.
Railroad building and new develop
ments everywhere are the prelude to
an era of prosperity in this country
such as has never been seen here be-
fore.
Il cannot too emphatically express
the hope that merchants abroad will
realize this wonderful opportunity and
act promptly. for when the war is over
there will come realization of this
situation everywhere, and he who
would profit should take the first steps
with the least possible delay"

Reference to the Beers.

'The imperial chancellor refers to the
dealings of Great Britain with the Boer
republic, and suggests that she has been
false therein to the cause of freedom.
Without go ng into controversies, now
happily past. we may recall what Gen.
Botha said in the South African parlla-
ment few days ago when expressing
his conviction Of the Righteousness OF
Great Britain's cause. and explaining
the firm resolve of the South African
union to her in every possible way:
stitution under which they could create
a great nationality, and had ever since
regarded them as free people and as
a sister state. Although there might be
many who in the past had been hostile
to the British flag, he could youch for
It that they would ten tines rather be
'nder the British than under the Ger
Inan flag -

Bismarck Respected Treaty.

I'm 1870 Prince Bismarck. when ap-
preached by England on the subject
admitted and respected the treaty OBJ
legations in relation to Belgium.
THE British government stands in
1914 as it stood in 1870. 1t is Herr
Won Bethmann-H ollweg, who refused
to meet US in 1914, as Prince Bismarck
met US in 1870. The imperial chan
cellor finds it strange that Mr.. Asquith,
in his Guild Hall speech, did not mention
the neutrality of the Scandinavian
Countries and suggests that the reason
for the omission was some sinister de-
sign on England's part.
1T is impossible for any public
speaker to cover the whole ground IN
each speech. The German chancellor's
reference to Denmark and other Scandi-
navian countries can hardly be cun-
sidered very tactful with regard to Dem
mark. The Danes are not likely to have
forgotten the part played by Pruss a
and England, respectively. in 1863 and
1864, when the kingdom of Denmark was
dismembered; and the integrity Of Nor
way and Sweden was guaranteed by
England and France in the treaty of
Stockholm in 1855.

England Would Have Acted
Against France to Protect
Neutrality, She Claims.
DIRECT REPLY MADE TO
Won BETHMANN-HOLLWEG
Took Same Stand in 1870, With
Prince Bismarck, as Now, It
Is Declared.

LONDON, September 16.-The official
press bureau announces that the fol-
lowing statement is issued with the
authority of Sir Edward Grey, secre-
tary Of state for foreign affairs, with
regard to the communication made by
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hol1weg, the Inn
perial German chancellor, to the press:
docs any one believe asks the
German chancellor, that England
would have interfered to protect Bel
gian freedom against France"
THE answer is that she would I'M
questionably have done so. Sir Edward
Grey, as reported in the White Paper,
asked the government whether it was
prepared to engage to respect the neu-
t,a!ity of Belgium so long as no other
power violated it.
The French government replied
that they were resolve to respect it.
The assurance, 1t was added, had been
given several times and had formed the
subject of conversation between
President Poincare and the German
chancellor. who entirely ignores the
fact that England took the same line
about Belgium neutrality in 1870 that
she has taken now.

INSURCENT ATTACK
ON CAPITAL REPULSED
Prince William Personally Leads
Albanian Forces.

DuraZzo, Albania, June 16.-The
government troops under the personal
leadership of Prince William re
pulsed a strong attack on the AL
bantam capital by Musselman insur
gents.
At the outset of the fighting the In
surgents gained an advantageous posi-.
tion.
After Colonel Thomson, the Dutch
commander of the gendarmerie. had
been killed, Prince William placed
himself at the head of the defenders
and quieted the rife and artillery fire
of the attacking force after three
hours fighting.
The attack by the insurgents came
as a complete surprise to the resi-
dents of the capital, where official
statements had been published de-
claring that the Musselman rebels
against the rule of Prince William
had been utterly defeated by the gov
ernment forces few days ago. 1t
was asserted that the remnant of the
rebel forces was surrounded by gov
ernment troops at Shiak, between Du-
razzo and Tirana.
