ROUMANIA MAY YET
REMAIN NEUTRAL
BY The United Press.


BERLIN, Via Wireless 10 Ssyville, !
Sept. 2S.-The Serbian Ambassador TO
Bulgaria, Tsholak Antissha, is leaving
Sofia under the pretense that his
health is failing. according to de
spatches TO Budapest newspapers to-
day.
Bulgarian consuls IN Macedonia are
being recalled under the same pretext,
the Budapest newspapers assert. The
Bulgarian premier. NJ. Radoslavoff, is
said to have informed the Serbian
Ambassador OF the withdrawal of Bull
garian consuls when the Ambassador
called to bid him goodbye.
The Greek minister to Serbia. &C.
cording to reports reaching here to-
/ day. has informed the Serbian prime
minister that Greece has decided to
oppose with her armies any attempt
by foreign troops to pass through
Greek territory.
Count Andrassy. former prime
minister OF Hungary. declared in an
interview published in the Tageblatt
today that Roumania must and will
remain neutral.
"If Roumania joins the Allies and
the Allies triumph. then Russia would
be the master of the Balkans" he
said. THAT would mean Roumania's
dependency on Russia. Austria and
Germany appreciate Roumania's sit
uation and do not want Roumania S
help"

PARIS Sept. 2S.-The greatest bait
tie OF the year on the western front is
being waged today with even more fu-
rlous attacks than was characterized
by the Anglo-French assault Having
staggered the Kaiser's armies with
one mighty smash. the Allies drew
back and reformed for another blow.
That explained the apparen. slacken-
ing of the offensive indicated In yes-
terday afternoons communique. The
second stroke was made last night,
with artillery and cannonading intan-
try leaping TO the attack.

The challxy hills OF the Champagne
region are throwing up great white
clouds of dust under the constant
ihammerinE of French and German
shells. Dead and wounded are being
covered by snow-white powder,
patched with crimson.

BRITISH RUN INTO
VERITABLEFI FIRE WALL
BY CARL W. ACKERMAN

OhittA iAtoo DldH correspondent
BERLIN, Via The Hague, Sept. 2s.
The first rush Of the Anglo-F French
troops in the West has been met and
stopped. The second rush. It was
promised here today. will be dealt
with even more effectively There Is
every confidence that which was
planned as a great offensive move
ment, will crumble into mere trench
warfare before the end of the present
week. In spite of the check admins
tered by the Germans in the fighting
of Sunday night and early yesterday,
the Allies are expected to return TO
the attack. The opinion prevails
here that the onslaughts against the
German positions will last for at least
a week unless a disaster like that
experienced by the British at Neuve
Chapelle; halts the operations.
Since their first days assaults
neither the British nor the French
have dented the German line. The
successes attained by the Allies in
the first few hours of fighting was due
solely to their long artillery prepara
tiOn, according to reports reaching
here. Several weeks shell fire had
partly demolished the advanced Ger
man trenches and It was considered
useless to defend them at heavy cos
of life. For that reason the German,
fell back in the Champagne and re
leased their grip on a narrow trencf
front at LOos.
In the second days fighting no suct
easy task confronted the French in
fantry. Their artillery had not blowl
in the second line trenches and from
behind these works the Germans
maintained themselves without yield
ing ground.
In the north the British we're halted
before they reached the wire entangle.
ments. thrown back by hot fire. and
then pursued TO their own trenches
IL is officially declared that the enemy
made no further gains on any sector
of the front from Arras north to the
sea.

BURRIS MAY PUT
UP FIGHT, GIVES
$1,000 BAIL BOND
Defendant is Given Until
Thursday TO Answer
the Indictment
Case CROWS OUT
OF BRIDGE WORK

In the Court of General Sessions today
A. J. Stockly, representing Samuel
l.. Burris, Levy Court Commissioner,
who was indicted by the New Castle
county grand jury yesterday in con-
nection with work done on Washing
ton street bridge repairs, asked that
the court fix the amount Of bail in
the case. pending trial on the charge.
The court placed the bond at $1,000
and granted Mr.. Stockly until tomor-
row afternoon OF Thursday morning
to decide what action he will take re-
garding the indictment. II is likely
that the bill will be attacked.
James II. Morris, city tax collector;
James Jones and Charles H. Grant
land went on the bond Six other
persons in court at the time also were
willing to furnish the bail for Mr..
Burris.
The indictment charges that Burris
in his capacity as a member of the
Levy Court and as chairman of the
bridge committee OF the court award
ed the contract for furnishing the ma
terials for the bridge to the Chris
tiana Lumber and Manufacturing
Company Of Wilmington, and Edward
Hart, Of Middletown, without first
publicly advertising for bids for fur
nishing the material and awarding
the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder. The indictment further
charges that the materials for max
ing the repairs at the bridge would
seem to cost, and did cost, $500 or
more, and that the contract was
awarded March 1, 1914.
The statute under which the indict-
ment Is brought provides that Il shall
be unlawful for any member of the
Levy Court to consent 10 or vote for
the awarding of a contract for the
furnishing OF work of any nature for
the county, which costs, or would
seem to cost $500 or more. without
first publicly advertising for bids for
furnishing the work OF material. and
awarding the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder.
Tn the spring Of 1914 a movement wa,
tnaugurated for a new bridge across
the Brandywine at Washington street
as It was claimed the present bridr,
was unsafe. Consulting Engineer Johr
A. Greiner. Of Baltimore, made an ex.
animation of the bridge and found Il
~ bN HeAN " u dNNls nc recommended
however, that a Strengthening wall be
built under the structure and other
repairs made. When it was decided
to have the repairs made 1t was
thought best to get oak planking from
Edward Hart, OF Townsend. But af
ter the work was commenced IL wa.
found that the old sills we're bad anc
new sills we're ordered. As the worl
progressed il was discovered thai
more and more materials were neces
sary and materials we're ordered unit
the work ran up TO about $4,000.
Recently the members OF the Lew
Court were examined by Attorney
General Wolcott in reference to tn,
bridge work. The indictment Of yes
terday followed
Discussing the case today Mr. Bur
ris said
81 am not a lawyer. The Lev,
Court had an attorney and he sait
the committee had the right TO MAKE
repairs to the bridge. 7 am only on
