occasion to do so, to lose the oppor-
tunity of expressing to you these ex-
pressions and this gratitude that on
suitable occasion you may transmit to
your illustrious government, which you
SO worthily represent. and especially

reached the point of sending to me and

Admires American People.

Il felt the greatest admiration for
these vigorous and enterprising people,
who, in the matter of scientific con-
quests, mercantile and industrial af-
fairs. have reached in a relatively short
time to be equal if not superior, in
many cases, to the most advanced
civilization of ancient times, brought
about by time and experience; 1 was
moved by the wonderful nature of that
prodigious soil and the people who APP
preciate the immense resources placed
at their disposal in all branches of
human activity; but, above all, 1 felt
full. of gratitude for the exquisite at
tentions which were paid to the in
vited delegates to the congress, and
which surpassed what we could have
hoped for, especially those of us who
did not know much of the exquisite
culture of the government of the
Union

GERMANS PREPARE
 FOR LONG WINTER
Teutons Strengthening South of Riga. Are Driven Back From
 Dvinsk

Petrograd. October 17.Lvia London The Germans have materially strength ened in the Jacobstad district south of Riga, giving them a character of permanency. This leads Russian mili- tary observers to conclude that a re- newal of operations in the Riga dis trict is designed to divert attention from the Dvnsk district and from the southern theatre daily assuming greater importance because of the Bal kan situation.
 The capture by the Russians of the Gateri farm, midway between Lakes Demmen and Dreswiaty, from which they drove the Germans with igreat slaughter besides capturing many prisoners, gives the Russians command on the line southward from Dvinsk through Dreswitay to Lake Boginsky line of natural defenses 30 miles long.

BULGARIA REPORTS
 SERBS DRIVEN OUT
It Is Now Asserted That Not Ser vian Soldier Remains on
 Bulgarian Soil

Sofia. October la.-(Via London. octo- Der 17D-Reports from the front indicate that not servian soldier remains on Bulgarian soil while Bulgarian troops all along the line have taken possession of Servinn and Macedonian territory.
 Additional reports show Bulgarian losses at Trin and Bosgilegrad were 70 killed and 300 wounded slightly more than at first announced.
 The second days operations by the Bulgarians were notably successful. espe- cially in the direction of Sultan-Tepe. considered one of Servias strongest posi- tions.
 The latest reports said to emanate from Greece indicate that the continuance of that country's neutrality is assured and that departure from this policy is un- likely to be caused by Greek antagonism toward Bulgaria.

RAW RECRUITS BORE BRUNT OF ATTACK IN
 CHAMPAGNE DISTRICT
Military Writer States That Teutonic Forces Are Not Homogeneous. Units Were Hastily Gath
 cred Together

Paris. october i7-A Havas dispatch from Geneva says the Germans bearing the brunt of the French attack along the Champagne front are not a homo geneous force and their condition and equipment is not up to standard. These assertions. the dispatch states, are based on information gathered by Col onel Feyler, the Swiss military writer. This shows, it is added, that the forces on the German side in the Champagne are made up of b6 regiments hastily formed from scattered units of many other regiments and various corps
 "A complete list of these is given, showing n heterogeneous assembiage of regulars. landwehr, reservists and guards, some of whom had Just ar rived from the Russian front the guards going directly from their trains to the firing line.'

DECLARATION OF WAR

Action of Entente Allies in Balkans Said to Have Produced Pnp-
 found Effect

Athens. October T.-tVa Paris .)-The energetic action of the entente allies and the opening of actual hostilities between Bulgaria and Servia apparently is modi- flying rapidly the attitude of the Greek anti-war party. There is credible author ity for the statement that King Constan- tine is preparing to go to Saloniki and 1t is said Greece will abandon her ner- trality when concentration of troops Is completed and army arrangements are perfected.
 The impression prevails here that Rou- mania will soon ally herself with the entente.

Five Areas of London Are Visited by Air Raiders, But the Damage Done is Insignificant
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE PREVENTED BY BOMBS FALLING IN STREETS
Thousands of Persons Were in Theatres at Time of Raid-There Were No Signs of a Panic

London, October 17.-The following account of the Zep- pelin air raid on Wednesday night was prepared by a writer appointed by the home office:
 "On the evening of October 13 another aerial attack was directed against London, which differed in no material respect from those made on previous occasions. The enemy's yes sel or vessels flew high, at an altitude chosen, no doubt, in order to prevent, as far. as pos sible, the danger of damage or destruction from anti-aircraft guns.
 The darkening of the metropolitan area, together with the height at which the aircraft travelled certainly prevented the enemy from discovering the exact position of places of i'm portance.
 "As on the last occasion, the official report issued in Berlin, proves the raiders to have been grossly in error in most cases as to where they were dropping their bombs and if we can suppose that they had really some definite objective other than mere haphazard destruction of the lives and property of non-cOmbatants, then owing to the height at which they flew, they entirely failed to attain that objective"
 Only One Chance Shot
 Except for one chance shot, the damage was exclusively on property not connected with the conduct of the war. Of the 127 persons killed or in Jured, none. save one or two soldiers who were in the street at the time, was combatant.
 As for the moral effect for which presumably the enemy was seeking that was all to his disadvantage The rald occurred at an hour when practi- cally no one except children was in bed and. though the shops in the prin- cipal shopping districts were closed, places of entertainment were full and the masses of the population were about their ordinary evenings pleas ure or at business.
 "A very much larger number of peo- pie therefore were aware of the enemy's presence than on previous oc- casions, but the population of London though hundreds of thousands heard the sound of bursting bombs and the guns, remained cool and free from panic. They were. if possible. even less signs of excitement than on the previous oc- casions. The official warnings to take, shelter were better observed and when the aircraft passed and the guns ceased firing most of the people who had been watching the bombardment went quietly to bed and were undis- turbed by the second raid, which took place about midnight in another part of the London area
 Theatres Were Full
 "In the theatres, from which the sounds of firing and explosions could
