NO RESIGNATION FROM
 ADMIRAL VON TIRPITZ
Dean of Submarine Warfare Has Not Been
 Retired.

Amsterdam, Sept. 8, via London, a9:35 a. m.-Reports that Admiral von TirpitZ, German minister of marine, intends to resign are inventions, ac- cording to the Berlin correspondent of the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Cou- rant, who claims to have obtained his information from excellent authority.
 A despatch from Amsterdam Sept. 3 said it was reported in Berlin that Admiral von Tirpitz would resign and be succeeded by Admiral von PohI. now chief of the admiralty staff and commander of the Baltic fleet.
 It has been consistently asserted that Admiral von Tirpitz had come into serious conflict with Chancellor von Bethmann-H Fl ollweg over the sub marine campaign which the admiral instituted in retaliation for the Brit ish blockade. Their differences of opinion came to climax with the sinking of the steamer Arabic, with it's resulting menace to the friendly relations between Germany and the United States.
 The chancellor and the misister of marine visited Emperor William at the front and the monarch was said to have sustained Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg in his demands that the submarine policy be modified eor political reasons. After this con ference; 1t was said that von Tirpritz proposed taking a vacation, and the inference was drawn that this was a subterfuge adopted either to cover his retirement by order of the Elm peror or to hide his own chagrin at being overruled in a policy alleged tc be popular with the German people.

In Waterbury.

Waterbury, Sept. S.-Demands were made by the strikers at the Randolph Cowles factory this morning. The men are still out, and Secretary Far mum of the company said an answer would be given them this afternoon. Demands will also be made by the strikers of the Waterbury Rolling Mills this afternoon. Some of the strikers of the Sperry Engineering company went back to work this morning. The factory of the Chase urnedzoutktiing
 Metal Works in Waterville was closed for the day. Employees became engaged in a warm argument on the strike question, and to prevent trouble the officials decided to close the works for the day. The superintendent told the employees that the management stood ready to make the same offer on wages and hours as had been made by other large concerns of the city. It is expected that the factory will be running again tomorrow.

London Comments.

London, Sept. s. noon-Emperor S,Nicholas is now supreme commander of Russian military and naval forces in the fighting zones and Grand Duke Nicholas, who as commander in chief of the Russian army was one of the most conspicuous figures of the 8 European war, has ben transferred to N the Caucasus. London is speculating f4as to what section of the long eastern front will be selected by the emperor for his headquarters.
 s,s~ Condition Of Battle Line. . At the present moment Courland appears to be the critical sector of the line. General Ruzsky is in com mand there, and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg apparently is not mak- ing any great headway against him.
 Tne central sector has been held by Grand Duke Nicholas, and efforts of the Germans to drive a wedge through the swamps are proceeding very slowly The Galician wing, in command of General Ivanhoff. is : making stubborn stand against the Austrian and Germans, who are engaged in tremendous effort to drive the last Russian from Austrian soil.
 Rivers Swollen. \
 
 Weather conditions, which in past years have proved efficient ally of the Russians, are again intervening on their side. A despatch published in Copenhagen newspaper says that the rivers have been swollen by au- tumn floods to such an extent that they promise to form an impossible barrier to a further advance of the invaders. This despatch represents the immediate objective of the Aus tro-German campaign to be the sci Zure of the entire railroad system from Riga to Lemberg, thus ensur- ing control of lines of communication Tor further penetration of White Russia.
 On Other Fronts.
 On the other fronts events point to a concerted movement by the allies The French commander in chief, Gen Joffre, has returned from visit to his Italian colleague, Gen. Cadorna British warships and the guns along the Belgian coast have joined the chorus of artillery fire along the western front. All this gives support to the growing belief in London that an offensive movement of some na-

MILITARY RULE HOLDS
 SWAY ON BORDER
General Funston Places Off, cers Over Civilians-No
 Further Fighting.

Washington, Sept. S.-Announce- ment that Major General Funston, commanding American troops in Texas, would establish military con- trol in the lower Rio Grande country was interpreted here today as a Il added precaution against the recur- renee of frontier disorders. No clashes between Mexican bandits and Ameri- cans had been reported in the last 4S hours but news despatches stated spiracy among Mexicans on both sides of the river to overthrow Amer ican authority in the border coun- trya General Funston has broad powers for dealing with any emer- gency,
 Attention was diverted from the border situation today by speculation over the next move of the Latin American diplomats. They will meet here next week to consider replies to cir appeal for a peace conference of the Mexican factions. General Carranza is virtually tn only leader who has failed to reply. While he has given unofficial indications that he will reject the diplomats offer to help in restoring order, yet some officials profess belief that he will not close the door to further nego- tiations. Meanwhile a battle be- tween Villa and Carranza forces is imminent around Torreson, the re- suits of which probably will have a decided bearing on future parleys.
 Brownsville, Tex, Sept. S.-What is regarded as the most important step yet taken by the United States army in the border complications of the lower Rio Grande valley came today with the issue here of an order giving to army officers command over the actions of the civilians on the river bank in case of shooting across thte international boundary is re- sumed.

Hartford, Sept. s-Thirty-nine pol ishers and buffers employed by the Colt Patent Fire Arms Mfg, com panv went on strike at o'clock this n, orning. The men passed a strike vote some time ago, but did not at that time present any demands. or ficials of the company declined this morning to discuss the matter, saying a statement might come later in the day. The company is and has been for a year doing tremendous war order business. It employs about 1,- 200, hands, practically all being skilled men and the majority of them machinists.
 The strikers held meeting this forenoon but refused to give out any statement concerning the de1bera- tions It was learned, however, that the men, who work by the piece, and now receive wages that figure up to about forty cents an hour, want an in crease to forty-five cents. The com pany claims this was met by the bo- nus of twelve and half cents of- fered some weeks ago, and a three months installmcnt of which was re- ceived by the workmen three weeks ago. The question of an eight hour day has not yet entered into the issue.
 International Vice President George Larry Of tho Polishers and Buffers union nas been in town off and on for a month or more. It is said the strike would have been called some days ago if he had not advised against it.
 The Colt company officials will make a formal statement late this afternoon.
 Screw Workers Quit.
 Forty-five mon and twenty women and girls make up the personnel of the strikers who quit work at tho Atlantic Screw Works on Charter Oak avenue at 3 o'clock yesterday after noon They are automatic machine operators for the most part and most ly young and unskilled. A meeting was held this morning to form a union organization.
 A. w. Bowman, manager of the works, declined today to say anything concerning the situation By some of the strikers it was said however, that they had been working nearly eleven hours a day, being allowed only ten minutes for lunch. They say they wait a nine hour day at the present wage. There was some sentiment also for an eight hour day, now that a strike for reduced working hours was on.
 Several applications for work the place of the strikers were made st the office of the company today, but all were told to come around tomor- row. Some of the applicants were said to be from Bridgeport and New Haven. It is understood that the wages received by the strikers were not large.
 The strikers organized their union this forenoon and appointed a com mittee to present demands to the company. Included in these demands was one for the re-instatm of Thomas Walsh, discharged by the company Tuesday afternoon and which really precipitated the strike; and a nine hour day without reduc- ton in pay. It vas claimed by some of the strikers that they were earn ing an average of S1.35 a day.
