 Ambassador Dumba's letter also contained note which he had re- ceived from German Ambassador Bernstorff, at Washington, commend ing Dumba for his zeal in organizing strikes in American intuition facto- ries and in assisting to spread thru out America a propaganda which would cause American financiers to hesitate in financing loans of the Hu- ropean governments engaged in war with Germany and Austria.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-Latest re- ports from the Russian army near Wilma indicate that the Czar's troops are escaping from the wise thrown about the city by Gen. Hindenburg.

President Wilson's firm stand in maintaining the rights of neutrals carrying on their trade in any part of the world.
 The leading newspapers of the country have printed editorials prais- ing President Wilson and congratu- lating the. American people over the happy outcome of the controversy which threatened to involve the country in war with Germany.
 It is reported here that Admiral Tirpitz, commander of the German fleet, was strongly opposed to any abatement of the submarine warfare as he regarded the undersea fighters as Germany's strongest force. Ad- miral Tirpitz is known to have re- gently \paid a personal visit to the Kaiser to protest against orders re- stricting the activities of submarines to warships and fighting craft of the countries with which Germany is at war. The admiral is reported to have requested a vacation owing to failing health, and it is believed that he will not again assume active com mand of the German sea forces, but that his successor will be chosen by the Kaiser.

News Received in Washington


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22.- Count Won Bernstorff, German am bassador, called on Secretary Lansing at an unusually early today and in- formed him of the instructions which had been issued to the commanders of German submarines regarding their activities in the European war zone. The ambassador expressed the hope that the order would meet with the entire approval of President Will son and the American people.
 The knowledge that the submarine warfare against passenger ships had been abandoned by the German ad- miralty has created feeling of op- timism here that America will avoid being drawn into the European strug- gle and is received as justification of

LONDON. Sept. 22.-One of the letters taken from James Archibald, the American correspondent, by the British authorities, which Archibald claims was given to him by the pri- vate secretary of Ambassador Dumba of Austria, has been published in London papers. The letter severely criticizes the American people in their attitude toward supplying mu- nitions of war to the Allies, and also claims that the American people are viewing European conditions through the eyes of Britain.
 The ambassadors letter, which was intended for the Vienna officials, se- verely criticised Secretary Lansing and characterized his arguments in defense of the position assumed by President Wilson as weak in the ex- treme. The letter styles President Wilson as a self-willed individual who is unable to change his convic- tions once he has decided upon a course of action. The letter throws

REALTY DEALER
 HAD SIDE LINE
Passengers on Train Robbed Eigh' teen Months Ago Identify Bel
 lingham Man as Bandit.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Sept. 22.- John Brooks, leading realty dealer 9f Bellingham, has been arrested on the charge of being one of the men who robbed a Vancouver train some eighteen months ago, when one pas senger was killed by the bandit and two other passengers severely wound ed. Brooks has been identified by several men who were passengers on the train which was held up.
 The identification of Brooks as the desperate bandit has caused a sensa- ton in Bellingham and surrounding district, as he has always been re- garled as a successful business man whose private life would bear the closest scrutiny.
 The arrest of Brooks follows months of investigation by Great Northern detectives, and the officers are now trying to connect him with otter holdups which have occurred during the past summer At the time of the robbery, detectives placed on the case expressed the belief that the holdup which resulted in murder was the work of persons living in the city. With this belief they have been in vestigating residents of the district, aud the arrest of Brooks followed.
 The identity of Brooks ompanion in the iloldup is believed to have been learned by the officers and his arrest will follow the identification of Brooks by the passengers whom he robbed.

COLUMBIA GLACIER
 |S VERY ACTIVE
Officers of Mariposa Report Big Bergs Encountered Near Wreck
 of the Olympic.

The officers of the steamer Mari- posa, which arrived from the south yesterday afternoon, report that the big steamship was forced out its regular path by immense ice foes from Columbia glacier. The Marl- posa took the inside channel between the wreck of the Olympia and the mainland to avoid the great bergs which were floating in the chapnel usually taken by steamers entering and leaving Valdez and Ellamar.
 The officers believe that the unu- sual ice conditions must have been caused by an earthquake, which caused the big glacier to empty mill lions of tons of ice into the bay as the field of ice was extensive and the bergs larger than any ever before encountered along this part of the coast of Alaska. Severe earthquake shocks have been experienced around Juneau and other Southeastern points and the Mariposa's officers believed that the disturbances had extended to the north and caused the glaciers to break loose.
 Captains of launches who have re- gently made the trip to Port Wells report that the Columbia glacier, which has always been very active during the late summer, has been discharging immense quantities of ice this fall, and at times the cha mel between Glacier Island and the gla- cier has been packed with the foes. They express the belief that the ice encountered by the Mariposa was car ried out from the Glacier Island char nel by the high tide.
