GERMAN VIEWS OF
 THE UNITED STATES
Bernhard Thinks Dumba's Letter Throws Suspicion
 on Our Neutrality

Berlin, October 1S.-1Via London.) George Bernhard, editor of the Vos- sische Zeitung, continues today his weekly discussion of matters relating to Germany and the United states. He reviews the case of Dr. Constantin Dumba, the Austro- Hungarian ambas- sador, who was recalled by his gov ernment-the ambassadors letter to Secretary of State Lansing having just been published here-and draws the conclusion that Count Yon Bernstorff, the German ambassador at Washington, also is having difficulty in communica- tion with this government because his official report on his Arabic negotia- tions has not yet been made public.
 After declaring that Dr. Dumbas let ter belongs to the most sensational written revelations in this all too sen sational war Herr Bernhard says: These reports of the ambassador throw new and most suspicious light upon the neutrality of the United States
 After lengthy speculation as to whether Won Bernstorffs messages are being held up, as Dr. Dumba's are al- legged to have been, the writer de- clares:
 Tt appears to be urgently necessary to secure an explanation as to how America is fulfilling toward the Ger man ambassador the obligations pre- scribed by international law"
 Count Reventlow deyotes a column in the Tages Zeitung to the American naval programme for the coming five years and says:
 Tt is significant that the United States Is carefully watching the pres ent war and notwithstanding the sub marine successes has decided on the construction of 16 huge batt1eships"

Dardanelles Situation

That all has not been going well with the expeditionary forces sent to the Gal 1ipoli peninsula to open the way to Con- stantinople has been indicated not only by the official reports. but by intimation in high quarters in London. A few days ago in the British Parliament, Viscount Milner suggested withdrawal of the troops from Gallipoli and their transfer to some other war theatre.
 Tn reply, Lord Lansdowne said it was impossible for any member to give an undertaking that the troops would be continued in the Dardanelles operations or withdrawn from them.
 General Sir Ian Hamilton who has had command of the British troops from the time of their first landing in April, has, in his reports to the war office. chroni- cled heavy losses to his forces, with com paratively small gains. The result of this has been to arouse discussions as to whether the operations in the Darda- nelles were progressing in way to war rant their continuation.
 General Sir Ian Hamilton is one Of the veteran fighters of the British army having seen service in the Afghan war, the Boer war, the Nile expedition, vari- ous campaigns in Africa and the South African war in which he was chief of stan to Lord Kitchener. He Is 62 years of age.
 Major General Charles Carmichael Monro. who was born in 1860. was ap- pointed commander of an army corps last January. He entered the army in 1879, and served with distinction in South Africa in 1Se9-190O. Later he commanded a division of the territorial forces.
 Mai. Gen. William R. Blrdwood who temporarily takes command of the Brit ish forces in the Dardanelles, was wound- ed in battle last May on the Gallipoli front. He has record of splendid serv- ice in the Boer war. being mentioned sev- eral times in dispatches for heroism In that war he suffered severe wounds.

 The Bulgarians, so far as can be learned, have made progress only in the Selotokopska valley. near the river Morava. north of the town of Vranya, where they blew up bridge. There is no information of a report that they cut the railway in this dis trict. The bridge was near the rail- way. The Bulgarian force which pen
 Strategic Position Taken
 The capture of Strumitza is of real strategic value, as its occupation per- mits the defense of the southern end of the railway and compels the Bulgar- ians to keep force there. Enos. too, is of value as, although not good landing place. its occupation threatens Dedeagatch which has a great harbor and Is fortified and mined The civilian population has left Dedeagatch. which Is entirely in the hands of the military under German officers.
 The Italians. according to the latest reports. will not send contingent to the Balkans. but co operation of their navy in the Aegean. where an allied fleet ndsn gathered. is looked for.
 The poffit' at. which the Russians will strike has not been disclosed. The ex- pectation, however. is that the allies have surprise for the central powers and that the steps are being taken to bring Turkey to her knees before as- sistance can reach her.
 There has been plenty of heavy fighting on both the eastern and west ern fronts but nowhere has either side attempted general offensive. The Ger mans still are making great effort between Riga and Dvinsk and have met with some minor successes, but thence to the Roumanian border wherever there has been any fighting it is the Russians who are attacking and they, too claim some gains.
 Much the same conditions prevail on the western front. The British have been attacking east of vermelies. ac- cording to the Berlin report. while the Germans attacked the French near Souchez and the French. took the of fensive in Champagne. Lorraine and tho vosges. None of these attempts is mak

 First to Rise Against Huerta
 Carranza was first to rise in revolt against Huerta. He called a confer ence of revolutionary chiefs at the Hacienda De Guadalupe. from which he issued the famous plan of Guadalupe. disavowing the authority of Huerta and providing for the conference in Mex ico City of revolutionary chiefs on the triumph of the revolution. When such a conference was called after the over throw of Huerta, disagreement arose between Carranza and General Villa, commander of the division of the north, as to the manner of choosing delegates to 1t. Another convention was held in Aguascalientes, but this Carranza refused to recognize, declaring it had been dominated by Villa troops. For more than a year now the Villa and Carranza factions have been fighting each other with Zapata element also in the field against Carranza, often in cooperation with the Villa leaders.

GERMANS PAY WARM TRIBUTE ID BRAVERY |OF SERWAN DEFENSE
Hand-tO-Hand Encounters Necessary to DislOdge. Them From Heights.
 Stood Heavy Artillery

Berlin. October 1S.-fvia London. )--Tele- graphing under date of October +, the Lokal Anzeiger's correspondent with the German forces operating in Servia, says: "fhe German and Austrian operations are proceeding successfully along the whole front The Germans by an ex- tended enveloping movement compelled the Servians to evacuate Pozarevac al- most without a struggle, although the defenses of the city had been so strength ened and the advanced positions so well prepared for keeping the Teutons at a distance that the Servians evidently had planned making long stand here.
 After the evacuation the Servians re- tired to the heights southward and south westward, which also were strongly forti- fled. On the following days fighting oc- cured there. The center of the country offered great difficulties, there being few roads. The Servians made a stout re- sistance on the whole line, but suffered great losses under the bombardments of the German heavy artillery. Especially or the mountain of Vranovo, did the en- emy fight desperately, but finally after long resistance he yielded this strong ele- yated position to one of the Branden burg regiments"
 Another correspondent describes the Vranovo mountain as sleeper than the famous Spicherer heights near Saar- brucken, captured by the Germans from the French in 1870.
 The Lokai Anzeiger's correspondent, de- scribing the resistance shown py rne Servians, says they did not abandon the plateau behind the mountain after the Germans had won the important heights, put continued holding the ground, fight ing under greatly unfavorable day tactical conditions, until they were slowly pressed back.
 Other correspondents also emphasize the bravery and persistence of the Serv1ans who they say often hold positions un- til hand to hand encounters become neces- sary to force their abandonment.
 The Lokal Anzeiger's correspondent says that at some places civilians. even women and children, are participating in the fighting.
 Amsterdam, October 1S-(Via London.) Telegraphing under date of October 15, the correspondent with Gen. Von Gall witz's army in Servia of the Cologne Gazette says:
 "The Germans have to contend with severe battles against a stubborn and desperately fighting enemy.
 "The difficult mountain country with it's bizarre, rocky and steep clinker forma- tions causes our troops enormous diff faculties which also are augmented by the fact that the Germans have to fight continually higher on rising ground. The Servians facing them are in admirable defensive positions which enable them to hold for a long time the defensive sec tors when attacked. Despite unfavora ble mountain land and the extremely bad condition of the valley roads the German troops have succeeded in progressing
