AIR WARFAR ON
BIC SCALE ALONG
WESTERN FRONT
Allied and German Avlators
Both Take Part in
Raids.
BY the United Press.

BY the United Press.
PARIS, Sept. S.-Air warfare on a
huge scale was carried on along the
Franco Flanders battle front last
night and early today.
French aviators dropped sixty
bombs on the German aviation camps
at st. Medard and Dieuze.
French and British aviators raided
another German air camp at Ostend.
A squadron of German airmen show
cred bombs on Nancy and the plateau
of Malzeville, killing several per-
sons.
The big French aviation camp at
Nancy evidently was the object of
the German air raid. Malzeville, a
few miles from Nancy, was bonn
barded while the German air squad
ron was en- route to Nancy.
Saint Medard lies twenty-five miles
north of verdun on one of the juno
tions of railways supplying the crown
princes armies. Dieuze lies fifteen
miles northeast of Nancy, and it is
presumed that the raid on this Ger
man town was in retaliation for the
German attacks on Nancy.
This afternoons official communique
reported no cessation in the violent
artillery fighting from the sea to the
Argonne. Around Ypres, Arras, the
Rye Plateau and between the Disc
and the Aisne artillery actions con-
tinued throughout the night. In the
Champagne region and between
Rheims and the Argosne infantry
actions in which bombs and rifles
were employed kept both sides on
the alert throughout the night.
The Argonne region was shaken by
violent artillery firing throughout the
night, the exchanges being particu-
larly heavy around La Harazee.

WILSON CALLS
upon LANSING
IN DUMbA CASE
Outfoots Guard in Almost Un-
precedented Visit-No De-
cision Is Announced.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-President
Wilson went to the state department
today and conferred with Secretary
Lansing. II was generally UNDER
stood they discussed the case of DR.
Dumba, the Austrian ambassador.
The presidents action was so un-
usual that White House and state
department attaches were slow to. re-
alize what had happeneds So far as
officials could recall, the only
precedent for q president going to
call on a secretary of state was re-
corded when President Mckinley
went to call on Secretary Day.
The presidents call was not ar
ranged in advance. He left his study
and passed out of the executive
offices through a little-used entrance,
crossed the avenue which separates
the White House grounds from the
state, war and navy building and
walked up the main stairway unat-
tended, while dozens of surprised
tourists and employees stopped to
look The president continued on up
the inner stairway and into one of
the long corridors leading to Secre-
tary Lansing's private Office, where
he passed by the messenger on the
door and entered unannounced.
MTS. LANSING was CdlnlB Oil iiti
husband and the secretary was at his
desk with his coat removed, as is his
custom, ready to begin a days work.
Secret Service Men Outfooted.
Men of the secret service guard
piled out of the White House and into
the state department building
through all entrances and some of
them finally caught up with the pres
ident as he was about to enter Mr..
Lansings office. 1t has been custom
ary for the president to summon the
secretary to the White House when
he wished to confer with him. Presi-
dent Wilson, however, has departed
from that custom a great deal by
using the telephone. He has shown
il to be his habit, however, to visit
important to talk about and, as was
the case of today, he does 1t without
being announced
Late yesterday Ambassador Dumba
conferred at length with Secretary
Lansing about the correspondence
taken from an American correspon-
dent by British secret service men
which disclosed that the Austrian
ambassador was concerned in a prof.
ect to interfere with the operations
of American munitions plants. The
ambassador explained that his gov
erpment had instructed him to give
widest publicity to a decree making
ii criminal offense for any Austro-
Hungarian to be concerned in the
manufacture of munitions Of war for
his country's enemies

GERMANY'S NOTE
IN ARABIC AFFAIR
GIVEN TO GERARD
BY CARL W. ACKERMAN.
United Press Correspondent.

BERLIN (via The Hague), Sept. s.
-Germany's note 10 the United
States with regard 10 the torpedo
ing of the liner Arabic was delivered
to Ambassador Gerard last night.
The contents have not been made
public 1t is understood, however,
that the note contains the substance
of the report of the commander of the
submarine that sank the Arabic. The
submarine commander justified the
attack on the White Star liner on the
ground that he feared his vessel was
about to be rammed and shot a tor
pedo in self-defense.
No official statement on this point
has been given out by the admiralty.
But ii is understood here that the re-
port Of the commander of the U-boat
that sank the Arabic was received a
few days ago. This disposed of re-
ports from English sources that the
submarine had been sunk or cap
tured.
The government was disposed to
proffer an explanation to Washington
on the Arabic incident as quickly as
possible to clear up any miSunder-
standing that might remain after
Ambassador Bernstorff's statement to
the American state department. The
note as completed is contained in four
typewritten pages. 1t was handed to
Ambassador Gerard at 8 o'clock last
night.
This. in fact. was as good a solu-
tion as had been hoped for, since it
was evident that the two accounts
must conflict unless the German off,
Ger admitted disobeying orders. That
he did disobey them Intentionally was
considered unlikely. So far as his
opinion was concerned there was no
disposition to question his truthful
ness.
1t was, of course, taken for granted
that Germany would nevertheless
make reparation for the loss of Amer
lean lives. Berlin limitations have
been to this effect.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-If the
White Star liner Arabic tried to ram
the German submarine which sank
her. the latter vessels commander
unauestionably was justified in what
he did. high government officials said
today.
They were Immediately interested
in the United Press dispatches from
Berlin saying this was his defense.
The question would be one of proof,
II was declared.

Withhold Nomination Petitions
to Aid Independent Political
Candidates.

The nominating committee of the
Essex County Progressive County
Committee today. through the chair
man, Howard S. Dodds, issued its
promised statement, setting forth
why the petitions of the candidates
for State and county offices, "sug-
gested' at the meeting of the Pro-
gressive. County Committee on Au-
gust 27. were not filed, so that the
names could be placed on the Pro-
gressive primary ballot.
The. statement was formulated at
a meeting of several of the candi-
dates, who met with the nominating
committee last night at Progressive
headquarters, corner Of Halsey and
Branford place.
To give the members OF the Pro-
gressive party an opportunity to sup

GILLEN TO RUN
At THE POLLS
IN NOVEMBER
Announces He Will Not Enter
the Democratic Primary
Contest.
INDEPENDENT RACE TO BE
MADE BY COMMISSIONER
Statement by Candidate Fol-
lows Advice of Friends at
Recent Conference.

Announcement was made today by
Board of Works Commissioner
Charles P. Gillen that he will be a
Vember polls. He will run on an in
dependent ticket.
Mr.. Gillen in a formal statement
says he will not be a candidate for
denomination at the forthcoming
Democratic primaries. AT a meeting
last week Mr.. Gillen asked the advice
of number of friends regarding
whether or not he should enter the
primaries. The majority of the per-
sons present advised against Mr.
Gillen entering the primary race and
urged him to make the fight inde-
pendently. He has acquiesced in this
plan.
The announcement that Mr.. Gillen
will enter the regular election as an
independent Democrat will make the
fight at the November election par
ticularly interesting. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Gillen has a large fol-
lowing. He has been indorsed both
by the Progressives and the Wilson
League. He will contest directly
against DR.. Charles F. Kraemer and
John F. Monahan, who have received
/ the Endorsement of the Democratic
County Committee, and who will
have a walk-over in the primary ap-
parently.
Since the announcement of the in
dorsement of DR.. Kraemer and Mr..
Monahan there have been efforts made
to readjust the ticket for the Board
of Works, but these effots have failed.
1t was said that a large number of
Democrats urged a change to Gillen
from the Kramer Monahan slate for
the primaries, but the request was de-
MED.
II have decided not to enter the
II have decided not to ener the
primaries, but to run in the general
election as a Democrat. I discussed
the matter with several hundred
Democrats representing every ward
in the city and found that 80 per
cent. of them were opposed to my
participation in primary fight.
Party Regularity Intact.
! They claim that by running by
| independent petition on election day
| as a Democrat / am as much a
Democratic candidate as If I had en-
tered the primaries. My party regu-
larity remains intact and my posi-
tion is legally more tenable than
that of the primary candidate chosen
previous to the primaries by party
caucus.
MY position is unique. Most of
the Democratic leaders of the city
have publicly announced themselves
as favoring my candidacy. Power
full must be the influence that can
make men vote contrary to their best
judgment 1t Is argued that my
record as an official is all that can
be desired, and that this record in
dorsed by voters of all political par
ties and by an almost unanimous
press, entities me to reelection.
Some say the opposition to me is
due to the fact that l fought against
turning the city over to certain COR
porations. / cannot conceive that the

Bitulithic Paving Trust own the
