MACKENSEN EFFECTS JUNCTION

Thinks
BERLIN. Sent.

sept. Z.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's army
IL reported TO have united with the Aus
tro-German forces advancing eastward
into Russia from Galicia. The first result
Of this junction was the capture of Lutsk
the Russian fortress In Volhynia. which
was regarded as one of the chief defenses
of Kiev.
Military experts I'm Berlin regard this
sudden shift OF Won Mackensen's forces
as confirmation of their theory that the
chief objective of the German armies is
southern Russian. where the campaign
can be carried on much longer than In
the north.
The capture of Lutsk. they assert, will
be followed by the fall OF Rovno and Dub
no, possession of which will give the Teu-
tonic allies control of the two main rail-
ways running southeast into Russia.
In the north the Germans have drawn
nearer 10 Grodno. but elsewhere there is
no important change In the situation The
Russians are maintaining their positions
AZ Friedrichstadt despite the enemys in
fessant fire.
Is In some quarters II was believed today
that the Austrian movement around
Lutsk forecasts an attempt TO reach Kiev
or Odessa. The majority of the military
critics, however. believe that the enemy's
enorts will be next concentrated In an at
tempt against Petrograd.

Though Il takes a day or two for the
average fair to warm up properly the
rule hardly applies to the Philadelphia

from the Reading Terminal direct TO the
fair grounds were crowded long before

greater crowds are expected TO leave the

This does not take account of the hun
dreds Of wagons and Fords and other
automobiles that farmers from Bucks,
Montgomery and Delaware Counties are
driving over the roads toward Somerton
today. They bring a majority OF the
fair visitors
But farmers were not the only people
today. A good-sized street twists over
the fair grounds for the benefit of the
city folks, who find one look at the giant
cabbages and cornstalks enough for

of the fair grounds. where the visiting
horsemen from neighboring counties are
entertained by three races and any num-

schedule of the race track calls for one

ROTTERDAM CARRIES MANY
PASSENGERS FROM NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.--The Holland
America liner Rotterdam left New York
at noon August 21 with 1OS first-class,
rs second and 81 third-class passengers.
The last message received by the New
York offices said that the Rotterdam had
arrived at Falmouth. England, last Sun
day. Falmouth is So hours from Rotter-
dam, and it was supposed here that the
liner had reached Rotterdam, though no
report of her safe arrival there has ever
been received.
Officers of the line here this afternoon
said they had no information from the
liner. They hazarded the guess that
the Standard Oil steamship Rotterdam
might be the vessel meant. though the
cable received by the United Press stated
that the liner Rotterdam" was reported
afire.
Among the passengers on the Rotter-
dam were Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch,
the suffragette leader; Moncure Robinson
and John G. Lamont. United States Vice
Consul at Rotterdam.
The liner carried crew of about $50.
