SAY RUSSIA LACKS
ARMS AND OFFICERS
Travellers Tell Berlin Paper Men

Berlin, Sept. II (by wireless to
luckerton, n J.).-Travellers who have
Just returned from a trip TO Russia
contribute 70 the "Neue Zeitung" of
Zurich articles concerning their inn /,
pressions of the conditions under which
the Russian armies are fighting. These
articles are summarized as follows by
the Overseas News Agency:
Russia has enough soldiers in the
field and sufficient food supplies, but
has no arms, officers or ammunition.
The army units vary. Some OF them
are equipped excelently and make a
good impression. Others are Just to
the contrary. The men appear to be
unwilling to serve, and enthusiasm is
seldom noticeable. The soldiers are in
terested only in the prospects for
peace.
"The lack of officers is particularly
noticeable. Frequently large bodies Of
men may be seen marching without a
single officer. In the new formation
there is only one gun for ten men.
Such guns as are available are mostly
Of old types, and not repeating rifles.
THE scarcity OF ammunition is still

Economic conditions are very bad
Large stores of grain are decaying in
warehouses, while the people go hun
cry. The lack of communications in
efficiency of organization and corrup-
ton among public officials aggravate
these evil conditions. The famine in
coal is a calamity.
Recently Belgian workmen were
sent to Russia in the hope Of increasing
the output Of the ammunitions plants

Cologne. Sept 11.-According TO

and political reasons. be compelled to
abandon neutrality and range itself
with the central powers.
Sofa, Bulgaria, Sept. via London),
Sept. II delayed in transmission
Discussing Rumania's claims that Bull
garia had not been inclined to enter
into negotiations with Rumania to
bring about a better understanding,
the statement was made at the Bull
garian Foreign Office to-day that
Premier Radoslavof had on two occa-
sions been able TO show the Entente
ministers here that the fault was not
BulgariG's.
Several weeks ago, while NJ. Derussi,
the Rumanian Minister TO Bulgaria,
was absent. leaving Charge d'Affaires
Guranesco in charge, a meeting of one
Of the Entente ministers and Premier
Radoslavoff took place, with NJ. Gura-
nesco present. The Entente Minister
mentioned reproachfully that Bulgaria
was doing nothing toward cultivating
better relations with Rumania.
Premier Radoslavof, according to the
statement, then asked N. Gurenesco in
the presence Of the Entente Minister,
whether Rumania was willing TO enter
into negotiations with Bulgaria. TO
which NJ. Guranesco replied, 81 have no
instructions from my government to
that effect"
The second effort to convince the
Entente Minister here that Rumania,
not Bulgaria. was at fault was made
by Premier Radosavof at dinner
given by the Entente ministers in
honor of the new British Minister,
Hugh J. O'Beirne, at which the Pre-
mier was a guest. The Rumanian Min
lister. NJ. Derussi, however, was absent.

questioned the Rumanian Minister an
/ swered that he was not empowered to

the question was put by the Russian
Minister, NJ SaVinsky.

Villa Got Urbina Loot;
Guerilla War Likely

FL Paso, Tex, Sept. ll.-General
Francisco Villa to-day obtained, under
threat of force. loot valued at $1,000
600 which General Tomas Urbina, for
two years his lieutenant at the head OF
one of the plundering armies of North
ern Mexico, had stored at his ranch
near Santa Barbara, Chihuahua. 1t is
believed that this addition to his ex-
chequer will enable Villa to carry on a
long guerilla war against the Carranza
forces, which have driven him from
the open country.
The news of Villas success was con-
tanned in a telegram sent by him to-
night from Torreon to his brother
here. Hippolita Villa. The message also
denied that he or General Fierro had
been wounded or that Urbina had been
executed, all Of which were alleged in
reports along the border earlier in the
day.
Urbina had previously refused to
turn his plumber over to the Villa gov
eminent. and when Villa to-day started
with Fierro and 400 men TO force him
TO disgorge trouble was predicted.
Thus the reports found easy credence.
IL is said that Urbina had ware
houses filled with looted goods gath
cred in his two years service under
Villa. and that he had hidden in the
mountains millions in gold, silver and
jewelry. The estimate of 100000 is
said TO be conservative, since in the
City of Durango in one visit he looted
$500. 900 from one bank and as much
more from civilians, merchants and
jewellers.
General Silva. in command OF the
Villa garrison at Las Vacas. across the
river from Del Rio. fed from his own
men last night and to-day was in
termed. Thursday night 200 of Silva's
men deserted, leaving his command re-
Guced to 400. Yesterday Colonel Carlos
Fills is said TO have mutinied and de-
clared for CarranZa. Silva's court
martial is said 10 have sentenced Fills
to death, but the majority of the troops
supported Fills. who is now in com
mand at Las Vacas.
Small bands OF deserters from the
Villa flag are skirting the frontier and
have called out stricter patrol of

This plant is engaged in manufact-
uring machinery used in the production
and in war. There have come into my
hands photographic reproductions OF
original letters and notices emanatinG
from agents of the Imperial German
Government which you will observe are
to substantially the same effect as the
declaration of Mr. Conlon quoted
above.
81 forward these documents for your
information in the hope that you may
establish what connection, II any, ex-
lists between persons pretending to rep
resent organized labor and the agents
of foreign governments. There have

his views and efforts and those Of GER

ing and worthy of further investiga-
ton.

Courageous Attacks Fail.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE Lokal An

correspondents, DR.. Stephen Steiner,
who entered Grodno with the Germans
and saw much of the fighting at close
range.
The correspondent approached the
city from the southwest on the evening
of September 2. He entered the sec
tion south Of the Niemen River, but was
unable to cross, as pontoons had not
yet been built and the Russians had
destroyed the high iron bridges.
"The night scene at the waters edge
was one of unparalleled grandeur"
says DR.. Steiner. "The river, skirted
by rows of houses on bluffs 1870 feet
high, was illuminated by exploding
shells, the broad stream sending up ev-
crywhere jets of water from the shell
fragments Numerous church towers
across the river. with their gilt crosses
encircled by clouds of smoke from the
shrapnel, appeared on the lighted
horizon.
Suddenly a mighty pillar of fame
shot up on the other shore, producing
a gigantic rain of sparks and burning
fragments. The terrific detonatlon
drowned the roar of the cannon. II
was the explosion of some Russian ord
nance depot. 1t caused numerous con-
hagrations in its vicinity, which illum-
mated brightly the ruins of the gigantic

Russians Make Counter Attack.
About 3 O'Clock in the morning. the
Russians on the north side Of the river
attempted a counter attack, which after
several hours dulatior was repulsed
with sanguinary losses to the attacking
forces. Before dawn heavy German
guns. brought into position during the
night. began to shell the Russian forts.
The Russian artillery stationed at
barracks on the northern heights also
kept the southern suburbs under a
heavy fire. Nevertheless. German pio-
neers succeeded under cover OF darkness
in putting a pontoon across the river.
Several German battalions and batter
les of artillery gained the northern
shore TO support the other troops, which
had crossed further down the stream.
Forts 6 and continued belching sheets
of flame.
over the pontoon bridge long columns
of troops were crossing swiftly. A man
occasionally dropped from the ranks,
but his body was pushed aside and the
column moved on without breaking the
pace. The river on both sides OF the
bridge was spouting fame from falling
proicctiles.
