GERMAN SOCIETY
 TAKES A WHACk
 AT I. ROOSEVELT
His Monumental Egotism" Creates Profound Dis
 gust" in Kriegerbund.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug 31:-Admission of former soldiers of the Austro-H Hun garian army to membership, was sanctioned by the Kriegerbund of North America today, only after a prolonged and heated debate which at times brought disorder on the floor of the convention in session here.
 A determined but out-numbered force of insurgents, led by Joseph Renz of Cincinnati and Ernest Kiehl of St. Louis, fought the resolution to admit the o-Hungarians. and fists were shaken and angry chal- lenges hurled back and forth before the question was decided and quiet restored.
 Profound disgust" at the ''monu- mental egotism" of Theodore Roose- welt in assuming to represent neu- tral Americans" is expressed in resolutions adopted today bv the. fed eration of associations of German veterans and military men, which is meeting in conjunction with the Kriegerbund. He is dubbed the "lo- quaciouss expolitician of Oyster Bay" and his "insensate spitefulness against the German people" is con- demned.
 The .Kriegerbund elected the fol- lowing officers. the convention ad- journing immediately thereafter:
 President, Henry Overman, Cincin- nati.
 Vice president, Ernest Kiehl, St. Louis. st
 Secretary, Otto Dietz, Chicago.
 Treasurer. Franz. Erling. St. Paul.
 The next meeting place probably will be Columbus, Ohio.

LITTLE HOPE FOR
 RUSSIAN SUCCESS
Elaborate Equipment of German Army in COmrland Indicates Determina- tiOn to March on PetrOgrad
 When Riga Capitulates.

London, Aug. 31.-The Germans, continuing their efforts to fold back the two extreme wings in the Cour-
 land and southeastern Galicia, are meeting stubborn resistance by the Russians. .--.-
 A message from LodZ, in Russian Poland. states that Field Marshal von Hindenberg has launched a million men, including huge forces of caval- ry, against the Russian positions on the Niemen and the BObr, and that a terrific battle is raging around the Friederichstadt bridge head. the key to Riga.
 These operations are under direct command of Gen. Hans von Beseler, the "battering ram" of Antwerp and Novogeorgievsk, and aim at removing Riga, the great Russian naval base, news that vast forces have been di- velted to this section, enabling the Germans to regain the of1enslve which was lost recently through the Russian successes on the Aa and the naval action in the Gulf of Riga. has caused pessimism in military circles here for the results to the Russians. Ready to Eyacuate Rlgas It is feared that unless large forces can be so disposed by the Grand Duke Nicholas that they will be in po- ksition to strike at the German flank, 4Friederichstadt-Riga it is believed, could not be held, and semi-ohicial advices from Petrograd are to the ef- feet that the Russian public is being prepared for the evacuation of the city and naval base.
 On the other wing. the Germans and their Austrian allies are meeting | with heavy resistance by large Rus sian forces which have launched counter attacks from strong positions along the Strypa river, east Of Vlota- Lita.

ACCIDENT CAUSE
 NOT DETERMINED
Great Holes Appear in Hulk of Under sea Boat Destroyed in Honolulu liar. HarbOr on March 9I-Fpar Marine
 Creatures Destroyed Bodies.

Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 31.-The hulk of the submarine F-4 lost in Honolulu farbor March 25 with her crew of P men and raised and placed in dry dock yesterday, today lies exposed to view, the work of jumping out the drydock and raising the shattered and torn submarine from the waters of the harbor Having been completed during the night No trace of the bodies of the crew has been dis covered, nor has the examination thus far made thrown any light on the cause of the accident.
 The F-4 lies on her starboard side in drydock. When the examining board composed of Rear Admiral c. J. Boush, Lieutenant Commander Lules F. Furer and Lieut.. Kirby B. Crittenden, entered the vessel they found the starboard side and bottom filled with debris. battery plates and some sand and mud. If any bodies remain in the F-4 they are under meath the debris. Doubt is expressed, however, if any will be found, for the
 great holes torn in the submarine only part of which were protected by
 mats during the months of raising operations, allowed the marine crea- lures with which the writer's of Homo lulu harbor swarm to enter. and it is
 believed probable that the bodies of the crew have been destroyed.
 In addition to the grasping holes i'll

 has. been torn in the wordard part The investigating board has not yet definitely ascertained whether it was ] this that occasioned the loss of the vessel or whether the hole. was torn

 Willing to Efface Self.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Secretary o! War Garrison tonight announced that he had ordered the Sixth cavalry and the Fourth and Nineteenth regiments of infantry from the camp near Gal weston to reinforce General Funston on the Texas border.
 It is understood General Funston has selected Harlingen, on the border, as the headquarters for the Sixth cavalry and Fourth infantry Two battalions of the Nineteenth regi- ment will be sent to Del Rio and one of it's bnttalions to Fort Sam Hous- ton.
 Secretary Garrison says that the ordering of these troops is in pursu- ance of request from General Funston.
 Ostensibly, the large reinforce ment is to suppress the war of bri- gandage on the border. There is an impression, however, that the move ment is in line with larger plans the administration must take if it be- cc;ues necessary, to put an embargo on the northern Mexican line against any of CarranzA's generals who may continue 10 operate in that section after Carranzaf has declined to accept the pan-American peace plan.

Liverpool, Aug. 31.-The German submhrine which sank the White Star liner was sunk the following day by British patrol boat. This fact was confirmed here today.
 While the submarine was engaged in trying to hold up the Leyland liner Nicasian,a British patrol boat came up and shelled the submarine. Ele- ven members of the submarines crew lost their lives. .~
 Washington, Aug. 31.-The diplo- matic elimination of the case of the Arabic, sunk by German subma- rine, with the loss of two American lives as cause of friction between the United States and Germany, will be effected probably before the close of the present week. +9#
 State department officials of inlv- portance recognize that the official attitude of Germany on the Arabic, as printed today, disclosed situation between Germany and the United StIates which must be resolved in favor of Germany.
 Secretary Lansing does not dis cuss the Arabic except at the white house with the president. The dis tinct impression nevertheless, remains at the state department that Lthe removal of the Arabic from the category of an accute and dangerous question, will make the next discus sion of the Lusitania case easy.

WAITS UPON WILSON.

WASHINGTON. July 31.--Offi-
Gals OF the United States govern

plans for the pacification of Mexico.
Definite action. however, will await
President Wilson's return here next

that a message would be sent to the
Mexican factional leaders giving
them a last chance to end the strife
within limited time. The plan is
said to contemplate bringing this
about through peace parleys. Gener-
al Carranza all along has declined
to accept peace overtures from his
adversaries. In view of the possibili-

meet in conference to settle their diff

in formulating 4 plan of action.
What plan the president may have
in mind to meet such contingency
