BRITISH FLEET
 bOMbARDS GERMAN
 WORKS 0N COAST
French Cannon at Nieuport Join in Hurling Steel on
 Gun Positions.

London, sept. 7.-The British fleet, after weeks of comparative inactivity along that coast, today heavily bonn barded the German batteries along the Belgian shore as far as Westende.
 Tons of metal were hurled upon the German gun positions among the dunes in an effort to clear this lat toral of dangerous opposition, in pre- paration, it is believed here, for an advance from Nieuport on the Ger man right wing positions.
 French batteries, stationed at Nieu- port, joined in the bombardment and the Sky was alive with air machines directing the fire of the gunners on sea and land. "
 Activity was pronounced in the sec tors north and south of Arras, where the German works were severely damaged. according to the Paris re- port tonight.
 The German report chronicles the repulse of French attacks at several points. the capture of number of Belgians during mining operations on the Yser, and the bringing down of g hostile aviator by Gerna battle ma. chimes in the Vosges.

Baker, sheriff of Hidalgo county. with some of his deputies was watching a suspected point on the Mexican side While his men were under cover Baker stepped out upon sand flat, drawing the imme- diate fire from the bushes on the Mexican bank, little moro than 100 yards away. MT. Baker threw him. self back into the bushes and the Mexicans' seemed to think he was hit. Baker has been relentless in his pur- suit of bandits on the. American side, so that many of them know him by sight at long distance.
 After Baker seemed to fall, Mexi- cans on the opposite bank jumped up, shouting excitedly. One or two two tossed their hats in tho air. There upon Bakers men opened fire. They reported that some of the Mexicans were shot

Rome. Sept. 7.-The reason why the Austro-Germans, despite their suc- cesses in the eastern theatre of war. are now putting out feelers for peace. is suggested by the impossibility Of further hiding the truth, now officlai- lv announced, that cholera and ty- phoh are raging in the central em- pire.

Ambassador Frankly Tells Lansing His Action Ap-
 proved by Vienna.
ISSL.' NOW BETWEEN
 THE TWO COUNTRIES
Demand for Dum.a's Recall Expected to Be WaShingtOn's First Move in Rcsenting unprecedented Act of
 Austrian Ambassador.

Washington, Sept. Administration Dumba informed Secretary of State Lansing today that in planning to call out Austro- Hungarian workmen in ammunition plants in this country he acted in accordance with the express ed wish of his government.
 This statement, made with the ut most frankness, is understood to have surprised Secretary Lansing to such an extent that he Immediately termi- mated lhe conference so that he could lay the entire incident before the president without delay.
 pr. Dumba contended he was en- tirely within his rights in advising his fellow cOunrymen here that they should not make ammunition for the allies. When the ambassador sald, however, that his activities along this line were with the consent of his government, the issue became one of the utmost gravity between the United States and Austria, and not a ques- tion that merely concerns the person. al activities of the ambassador. It is stated with authority that Secretary Lansing informed the am bassador that thu decision Df this gov rnment regarding the unprece- dcnted incident would be announced 1 in few days.
 | At no time during the conference did the ambassador eXpress the slightest regret for the letter found on James Archibald.
 When pr. Dumba reached the state department il was the general im- pression in official quarters that he intended to offer personal expla- nation of his plan for fomenting a waik-out of the citizans of Austria ! Hungary lahorine in factories In the United States. 1 It is believed it will be extremely difficult for the administrator to pass over the ncdent. regardless of the dctates of policy"
 The entire tevt of Dr. Dumba's let ter to his foreign minister is in the state department. If was cabled nv l Amhassadcr Page. Parts if not all of tho letter. have been sent to Am- hassador Penfield in Vienna. It is the iroov of a very delicate sitnation that this document will hn delivered bv the American ambassador to it's orioinal destination.
