London. Sept. l6.-The question of
the successor 10 DR.. Campbell at the
City Temple is widely discussed in Non

that n large majority of the people at

communication from Count Won Bern
storf. the German Ambassador at
Washington, giving a report on the SIT
uation there The ambassador may
have chosen this method Of forwarding
information 20 his government, as
wireless transmission from the united
States is uncertain at the present.
This mornings newspapers devote
many columns 20 reports from America
on the situation regarding the AIaolo'
but with few exceptions conhne them
selves TO pulling over strangely con
fieting stories. which simultaneously
announce that President wilson VII
refer the case 90 The Hague and that
he has no such intention.
Vice-Admiral Kirchof, retired, oe-
clares in the "Taglche Rundschsu' that
Germans have read with the greatest
satisfaction the note Of the German
government on the Arabic and that the
case has been explained in the manner
70 have been expected. Admiral MY
choH draws a vivid picture OF the per'lS
20 the submarine described IN the n01e
on the Arabic and adds;
The ewes OF the entire world may pc
opened upon learning how Illegally
and inconsiderateiy Great Britain had
acted. The British stop at nothing 20
40 what thew will They are treacher-
Gus and cowardly and then cry about
misuse OF rights az sea under interna-
fiopal law and shout about the Hunn!sh
,vays OF the German barbarians. The
conclusion Of the brief communication
20 the American Ambassador Is of es-
peeisl clarity and beautiful dehniteness
in pointing out that we recognize no
obligation for damages. even IN case
the submarine commander really was
in error.
Naturally the British will claim that
a mistake actually occurred. Naturally
they will report that the Arabic only
approached 10 give aid and that she in
tended no attack. and those who wish
20 will believe the explanation, even
though not a grain Of truth attaches

Quite as reassuring as this ofhcisl

Kirchof, "is the further explanation
that the proposed decision 10 be sought

hope of threatening, or making an easy
advance toward Kiev. The Russians are
still advancing west OF the River
Sereth, where their positions on the
river, lakes and woodland are admirable
both for defence and attack. This IL
illustrates once more the fact often no.
ticeable in this war that natural posi-,
tions, with movable and easily screened
batteries, are far more valuable than
elaborate fortresses.
GERMAN OFFICIAL.
The War Office in Berlin gave out
this statement:
Army group of Field Marshal Won

Dvina our troops, fighting success
fully. penetrated further IN the d.

BRITAIN ADMITS
SUBMARINE LOSS
Says Turks Probably Sank
Undersea Boat Off
DardanelleS.

London, Sept. 16-Turkish successes
at the Dardanelles are reported in
statements to-day from the War Once
at Constantinople and from the Brit
ish Admiralty, which announced that
the British submarine Ell probably
had been sunk off Gsllipoli. The
Turkish official report claims the
silencing of Allied batteries at Hissar-
Xix and Seddul- Bahr and further sue
cesses on the peninsula.
The British Admiralty statement
says:
The enemy claims TO have sunk the
submarine E-7. Lieutenant Com
mander Archibald d. Cochrane, off
the Dardanelles, and to have taken
three officers and twenty-five men of
the crew prisoners. AS no news has
been received from this submarine
since September 4, II must be pre-
sumed that this report is correct
The Turkish official statement says:
Near Anafarta, on the night Of the
14th, our troops by a bold surprise
succeeded in dispensing enemy
forces
Near Seddul-Bahr we prevented the
enemy from throwing up zigzag
trenches by bombarding the troops
engaged in the work. On the same
wing our artillery silenced enemy
batteries.
On the 18th our Straits batteries
successfully bombarded enemy troops
near Cape Helles, the landing place
at Teke Burnu and hostile batteries
at Hisssrlik. A battery at Hissarlik
was silenced. On the l4th our
Straits batteries dispersed an enemy
battery near the landing place at
Seddul-Bahr.
Advices from Constantinople, ac-
cording 10 the Athens correspondent Of
the Exchange Telegraph Company, say
that all government financial institu-
tions, such as the Ottoman Bank, are
making preparations 10 move 20 the in
terror of Asia Minor. 1t has been
learned from the same sources that be-
cause of the fear Of an instruction in
the Turkish army all Turkish artillery
soon will be placed in charge of Ger
mans.
As long ago as March 3 diplomats
in London received kilograms stating
that the Ottoman Bank and the Ger
man Bank, at Constantinople, had been
transferred 70 Konieh, Asia Minor, and
that the archives of the Turkish gov
eminent had been removed to that city.
These steps were supposed to have
been taken because of the attack on
the Dardanelles and the fear that q
passage Of the straits might soon be
forced. -.-- -.

inv Cabs 10 n. Tribunel

London. Sept. 16.-Stern battles are
being fought all along the eastern
front from Riga to the Rumanian Dor
der.
While the Germans continue to push
on in the north, where an advance
along the Dvina, in the direction OF
Jacobstadt, is reported, and In the cen
ire. where Won Mackensen has taken
Pinsk, the Russians are continuing
their successes in the south. The leu
tons have been driven back across the
Stripa and north OF the Galician from
tier. The occupation of Pinsk marks
an eastward advance by the Germans OF
nearly one hundred miles since the
taking of Brest-Litovsk on August 20
The Petrograd correspondent of THE
Daily News" says that the German
army is daily growing more weary
while the Russians are daily hnding
themselves nearer fighting on equal
terms. Before wilma and Rovno the
Germans are seventeen miles west OF
the railway, which is clearly their I'M
mediate objective Between these
nlaces the average distance OF the Ger
man force from the line OF their desire
is thirtv-three miles. Until they reacn
that line the swift passing of troops up
and down the front from one threat
oned point to another IS impossiOle'
and they must reach a position where
this mobility is possible before they
can safely bring the eastern operations
70 a standstill, intrench and de'ach
troops for action elsewhere.
Russians Hold Up Enemy.
At the present minute Russia is hold
ing up the German plan Il campaign
and DESTROYING the time sheet on when
tbe Germans slavishly depend. II IS
hard TO believe that the enemy Will
not eventually reach the Dvinsk-Nilna-
Ijda-Royn railway, because they are
willing 10 go any length In the ex-
nenditure Of men. There is no DOUBT,
however. that the Russians will not
snare them one particle Of the enor-
nous price they must pay to obtain their
object Direct attacks toward DVlnsh
go already been very costly. The
Caravans are now intrenching west OF
wilma They are apparently expecting
considerable delay, because IT IS re
norted that three lines Of elaborate
trenches have been constructed. Ihey
can do little here until they succeed in
advancing further south. ..

Crisis Made in America.

You cannot examine the German
American crisis az Washington without
feeling that II was not made in Ger
many, but in the United States; that 1t
grew out of Mr.. Wilson's taking a
ground that he did not mean TO take,
would not defend, and permitting Ger
many 10 know he did not mean to de-
fend. You cannot study the history Of
the thing from the capital viewpoint
without feeling that the German course
has been misunderstood by the Ameri-
can people, misiudged and unjustly CEN
sored. Germany is to be blamed for
ever for submarine murders, but the
charge that she has deliberately ignored
and disregarded real warnings of the
American government and refused 10
heed genuine admonitions is not true,
because the warnings we have issued
were issued under such circumstances
and with such attendant conditions that
there never was any reason why she
should heed or believe them.
The most humiliating thing about the
crisis is the unacceptable conviction that
the United States has been deceived,
not by Germany, but by its own gov
eminent, that the people Of this coun-
try were led 10 believe Germany was
attacking the rights that the govern
ment was honorsbly and firmly defend
ing, whereas the Germans were merely
their own policy on the
wholly Just superstition that this gov
eminent had no intention Of defending
its rights by anything but words.

peace and avoid break? Washington
believes that to be the case. Is 1t not
the fact that the moment Germany had
any reason to believe that the wilson
administration meant to act, was at
last prepared to put force into words,
il began to display a real desire to
meet the situation amply and avoid q
break? This is the capitals view.
Public sentiment against Germany
has reached the boiling point in this
country because Germany seemed b.
her course to be daily and indefensibly
insulting the American government and
the American people, treating our notes
and our proclaimed purpose with utter
contempt. But is II just to blame Ger
many when everything that could pos
sibly be done in Washington by on
cials and by politicians was done to
make Germany believe that we did not
mean what we said? Is it fair TO hold
against Germany the fact that she did
not obey the letter Of words which
the Secretary Of State told the Austrian
Ambassador were only words? Was a
country at war with the world and
frankly committed TO the doctrine that
her necessity overbore all rules and
laws of God or man to be expected 10
stop a policy of murder, when the
President of the United States prefsced
a warning by the assertion that his
country might be "too proud to fight?
Whatever adherence this country
may have for crimes like the Lusitania
massacre, it is necessary TO recognize
that they were crimes against general
humanity, not merely American. Look
at the history Of progress of the whole
German difficulty, and can there be any
mistaking the fact that Germany has
had every reason that one can conceive
CT to continue her policy, so far as
America is concerned? She didn't defy
US, she simply accepted the assurance
of the Secretary of State. of the Presi-
dent, that what was said by the govern
ment wasn't meant. We have got into
crisis because the German govern
ment did not believe what Mr.. Wilson
sand and the people of the United
States did.
