IN GERMANY READY fS
 TO PUSH BATTLE

4 Berlin, Aug. 12I via London.-In the course of the debate today in the Reichstag, pr. Eduard David, the So- cialist leader said:
 N"There lives in the hearts of the German people, as in all other peoples, longing for Athe day to restoration of peace. It were i'll for humanity if it were otherwise. The European peO- pies are bleeding from thousands and thousands of wounds. Every day of the war means further frightful de- struction of values.
 Therefore, point again today to the. declaration which our party made in the tReichstag. We adhere to the principles declared on August 4 1914, that an end must be made to the war as soon as our enemies are inclined to make peace.
 Lust for conquest must not prolongs this was unnecessarily. Emperor Will liam says we are not waging a war of conquest and Chancellor's speech supplied further proof. Unfortunately clined to peace, notwithstanding tse were defeats Their leading statesmen only recently asserted the determina- ton to continue the war until Ger many is crushed and their plans for conquest are realized. They are still looking for allies among the neutrals. They say time is their ally and hope to wear out, Germany's economic and military power by. protracting the war.
 If we desire peace, therefore, the only thing left is to compel them to see that their hope is futi1e.''
 Referring to the ChanceIlor's words to the effect that Germany owes her success to moral power exerted in the direction of freedom, pr. David said:
 And I hold it to be my duty to add that we expect a greater measure of liberty for the German people. With this hope we shall vote for the new credit We must reach the goal of equal civil rights attending equal civil duties.
 t'Whoever did not know it before must have learned through this war that the great masses of the Ger

 Much disappointment mixed with anticipatory hopes has been express ed by the mem over the possibility that no shore, leave will be granted during the trip. With a 1ates start and a program laid out blythe navy department there is little chance that any shore leave will be granted before the ship reaches Portland, Maine on the return trip. Should fog or un0 favorable weather again overtake the ship on it's cruise there is a chance that shore leave will not be granted at either Portland, or Newport. One marked feature of the present cruise is the relationship between the officers and enlisted. men of the Uni ted States navy and the rniIitiamen. A harmony seldom before existing is said to have sprung up with the se- lection of a picked skeleton crew for the Kentucky. With some of the ablest men selected for the task of CO., operating with the naval militia in the handling of ship and guns, sinstruc ction of the militia. has been a pleasure rather than a duty, and wherever tch- nfca1 advice is sought the cheerful and efficient manner in which it is given has engendered a good feeling that is likely to make the cruise of the Ken lucky one of the best ever.

NOLIE RESISTANCE CHARGE ENTERED
 AGAINST CASSIDY
Court Intimates That Ex cessive Violence Was
 Used By Policemen.

In the city court today the charge of resistance was nolled and a fine of $25 and costs imposed on ex-Motornan | Michael Cassidy, PAT Willow street, charged with breach of the peace in creating a disturbance in the office of Charles H. Chapman, superintendent l of the Connecticut Co.,, Wednesday morning and resisting an officer while being placed under arrest.
 Cassidy was ordered to leave his car under the accusation of being under the influence of liquor, the order being issued by Chief MotormanF'rank Kip lin. Cassidy was escorted to the office of the superintendent where it is al leged he became abusive and a call
 was sent for a policeman On the ar rival of Patrolman, Edward Rplger, it
 is alleged that, Cassidy put up B stren-
 uous resistance and that it took the efforts of Bo1ger and Driver Charles
 Flanagan of the auto patrol to subdue
 him.
 In the city court today Cassidy, rep
 resented by Attorney Hugh J. Lavery,
 denied the allegation that he had forc1-
 bly, resisted the policeman and further
 claimed that on the arrival of Police
 man Bolger he was pushed out or 3Chapman's office, his feet kicked from
 under him, and flung down the con-s
 crete stairway in the office building, suffering several painful bruises and that on being thrust into the patrol was struck a violent blow on the bridge of the nose by Driver Flanagan All of these charges were denied by the cus- todians of the law.
 The question arose in the city court as to the extent of force allowable tp be used by a policeman when arrest ing a prisoner who is resisting Judge Frank L. Wilder said, regarding the resistance charge, that it was a case of veraeity between Cassidy and the T@o sisted arrest and then added that even though a prisoner is resisting there is a limit to the punishment to be admin istered in an effort to subdue him.
 Judge Wilder emphasized the fact that-an officer has no right to batter a prisoner into submission especially when there arex two officials making the arrest. Cassidy. presented a rather battered appearance in court this morning. This was caused, according to the statments of Flanagan and BoI- ger, by Cassidy losing his footing and falling down the stairway.
 $ The court room was thronged By members of the Trolleymen's union who are wrought up over the treat ment administered to their fellow member. No appeal has yet been talk en but it is presumed an appeal will be filed
 The grievance committee of the local union have taken the matter into con- sideration and will make a report on the matter Monday morning. Several members of the union are insistent upon preferring charges against Po-
 iceman Bo1ger and it is expected the ma tier will be thrashed out at spe-s cIa1 meeting of the committee to be held this evening"
 Tn the city court this morning Chief Motorman Frank Kiblin denied that Cassidy had doored him with a blow to the head. although he ds reported as. having made that accusation to Po- liceman Bolger when the. arrest was being made.

FIGHTING POLAND
 MOST SEVERE OF WAR

London, Aug. 21+The Russian field armies are fighting. desperately but vainly to check the onrush of the Germans and. Austrians. Novo- georgievsk, the last Polish fortress to hold out, has fallen. Ossowetz, to the north of Poland, has resisted the in vaders thus far only because of the marshy nature of the surrounding country. which prevents the Germans from employing their heavy guns eff fectively.
 South of Brest-Litvosk, Field Mar shaI Von Macl<ensen's forces have penetrated far beyond the Bug. Other German armies east of that river rem der serious Russian defense along the ok-Brest-Litvosk line fvir- tuaIly impossible.
 The mysterious naval battle in the Gulf of Riga was still in progress at the latest report from Petragrad line, which, however, gave no details as to the magnitude of the action.
 Along the other fronts no other inn portasnt changes are recorded with the exception of the French adTnis- sion of inability to hold' the Lens Arras cross roads recently captured.

MORE NATIONS AT WAR

The one result of the Great War
that may be set down as already in
sured, is the expulsion of Turkey
from Europe. If the forces now en-
gagged in the conflict shah not prove
able TO eXpel the Turk. enough other
supporters of the cause will enlist
to insure that result.
Turkey has never had a right in
Europe, not welcome. 1t has held
its place because it was able to play
off one group of powers against an
other. When it advanced the Orient
to the gates of Vienna, and threat
ened, far down into modern times, to
overrun all Austria, France declined
to help the Viennese government be-
cause France and Austria were ira
ditional enemies, and France was
willing to see Occidental civilization
endangered, if only blow might be
inflicted on her hated rival. 1t re-
mained for the semi Oriental Poles
, of Sobieski to beat back the rising
tide of Oriental power. Thus ever
since, and long before, the siege of
Vienna, the Turk has held his place
by reason of the inability of Europe
to agree on the division of his raj
mcnt when it should be taken from
him.
But at last we are told that some
thing like agreement has been
reached among Italy and the Balkan
states. Italy is almost certain to
enter the war soon, with the particu-
lar purpose of helping to expel Tur-
key and the secondary-perhaps it is
really the primary-purpose of
breaking down the power Of Austria
To this end, agreement has been
reached by which Servia is to have
