RUSSIANS DRIVEN BACK
Bio Sea Battle Between German
and Russian Ships
French Officers Attempt to Gross the
Border But are Driven Back by
Germans Near Welbeck.

Paris, Aug. 4.-German and Rus
sian troops and battle ships were
active, while France, Belgium and
Great Britain were discussing diplo-
matte methods as to how to maintain
neutrality and remain out of the con-
fiict.
While reports of skirmishes along
the Russian erman-French frontiers
were received, news came of two at
tacks on the water.
A sea battle was fought yesterday
between the German and Russian
fleets off the Aland Islands, and the
Russians were driven back. The Rus
sian vessels took refuge in the Gulf
of Finland and remained there. The
fighting was brisk.
A second engagement was at Libau,
on the Russian coast, where a German
cruiser continued bombardments for
some time.
The fighting along the Russian
frontier was confined to many small
engagements for time, when an at

Dragons.
The railroad from Johannesburg to
Lyck, on the Russian frontier, was
cut. The losses of the Russian troops
are believed to have nun oered about
twenty men, while the Germans did
not lose any killed, but had many
wounded.
Official announcement was made
that German force had invaded
France near Grey. Details are lack
ing.
A party of eighty French officers,

j. s. MESSAGES ARE
HELD UP BY TURKS
State Department Has Not
Heard From Ambassador
Morgenthau in Six Days.
Bids Fair to Become Serious.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-That
Turkey is holding up communications
between this government and Ambas-
sador Morgenthau at ConstantinOple
is suspected by the state department.
Sec'y Of State Bryan today was in
formed by cable companies that Tur-
key would not transmit messages in
code between diplomatic representa-
tives of neutral nations at CONSTANT
nople and their home governments.
Mr. Bryan was obliged to communi-
cate therefore with Ambassador Nor
genthau in an uncOded message. The
message was sent through Thomas
Nelson Page, the American ambas-
sador at Rome This is now the most
direct route.
The United States government has
not heard from Ambassador MOrgen-
thau regarding the firing upon the
Tennessee's launch in six days. Mr.
MOrgenthau has sent no response to
the inquiry of the secretary of states
office last Friday asking for full de-
tails of the incident. The failure to
hear from Mr.. Morgenthau is laid by
the state department upon Turkeys
refusal to allow messages to be trans
mitted.
The whole question bids fair TO be-
come a serious one between the neu-
trail nations and Turkey and may re-
suit in a protest from this government

thorities agree that the act of Turkey
is extraordinary and one that must be

which the United States took part was
dispatched and opened up COM
munication.
The impression is growing hourly
at the state department that Ambas-
sadOr Morgenthau was allowed to send
through the Turkish side of the Ten
neSsee incident in which the curious
explanation was made by the Turkish
minister of war that the shot which
was fired at the launch Of the Ten
nessee was merely a warning in an
entirely friendly way.

amount raised for the support Of the

about the $4,000 mark. No results

which is handling the money did not

size of the amounts given. No reports
are to be made of the days work by
the team captains until Friday in or

Solicitors are daily encOuntering
the rufnOr to the effect that some
body is making a graft off the money
raised during the week. This story
is without foundation, however, the
bookkeeper being the only one who

The tank was located in the melting
room, Of which Mclaughlin had
charge. The mixture was seething
until its steam had created pres
sure of 175 pounds, according to
members of the O'Brien firm. After
it had been completed and 20 min
utes had been devoted to experiment,
the tank burst and cast its blazing
contents about the room. enveloping
the two victims in sheets of flame.
Death Was Instant.
The bodies were hOrr bly, burned
and death was instantaneous. The
fact that their throats were scared
and scorched caused Coroner Swantz
to make the statement that death
would have resulted instantaneously
from the effects of having inhaled the
flames and sulphurOus gases alone.
The caldrOn in which the mixture
had been boiling had been tested pre-
viously as high as 200 pounds. The
management of the company was un-
able to assign a logical reason for the
disaster on that account and because
although similar experiments had
been conducted since the founding Of
the factory, there had never before
been a fatal accident.
The elements had been placed IN
the tank at 1:4O o'clock. The only
two men In the doom were MCLaugh
lin and McCague. The former had
been in charge Of that particular de-
partment for 20 years and the other
was said TO have been a cautious and
painstaking workman. Both men had
been in charge of all experiments Of
the same kind conducted in the past
week.
Rush to Rescue.
McGrath and Welch were working
in another department. Waen the
sound of the explosion rocked the
building both rushed to the end OF
the factory from which the sound
had come. They were the first 70 ar
rive on the scene and received their
burns when they dragged McCague
and Mclaughlin from the blazing
room.
McGrath was burned about the
arms and shoulders Welch was
burned about the face and arms.
Neither are injured seriously, II was
said by DR.. Swantz.
The room in which the explosion
occurred was wrapped in flames. The
gas from the mass in the tank only
added 10 the fury Of the blaze For a
moment. according 10 persons VINO
were upon the scene, il appeared that
the entire plant was doomed.

The employees were stunned but
