GERARD TALKS WITH GERMAN
MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Both Trying to Improve German
American Relations.

Berlin, Sept 13, via London, Sept.
II. 1.35 a. m.-The American ambas-
Bador, Mr.. Gerard, had long CONVEX
sation last evening with Herr Won
Jagow, the German minister of foreign
affairs. The discussion did not specif-
caliy concern the submarine question,
nor was It evoked by any new develop
ments in connection with that subject,
but 1t was indicated after the confer
ence that both the imperial chancellor
and the foreign minister are endeavor-
ing to improve German-American re-
lations.
Prominent and well informed person
ages in Berlin express the belief that
the diplomatic and military leaders in
Germany are doing their utmost to
prevent a recurrence of misunder-
standings and incidents in the sub
marine campaign which have hereto
fore clouded these relations, and to
eliminate as far as possible the chances
Of torpedoing ships under conditions tc
which the United States objects.
1t is pointed out, however, that they
are working under difficulties, particu-
larly in view Of the keenness and am
bition of the naval officers and public
opinion. which is proud of the sub
marine achievements and is quick to
protest against any open indications OF
a backdown.

FIRE ON SAINT ANNA
HAS BEEN EXTINGUISHED
Is Due to Arrive at the Azores Some
Time Tonight.

New York, Sept. T3-The Fabre line
steamship SAINT Anna, which was on
fire in mid-ocean, is safe and pro-
ceeding under escort to the Azores,
according to wireless message re-
ceived at the lines Office today
The SAINT Anna was bound from
New York for Italian ports with more
than 1000 Italian reservists and a
large cargo Of foodstuffs, which had
been reported on fire about $50 miles
southeast from Halifax. N. s., in a
wireless message received at the latter
point late last night.
Officials of the Fabre line, anxious
for more details of the fire on the
liner, cabled to Captain Pavey. at the
Azores, asking him for a full report
On the incident. The SAINT Anna will
probably reach the Azores tomorrow
night and it is expected that Captain
Pavey will then reply fully to the
company's inquiry.
Announcement was made that a de-
tective agency had been asked to in
vestigate conditions On the lighters
that took the cargo to the vessel. The
manifest of the SAINT Anna, made pub
lie today, showed that the steamer had
hundreds of barrels of cottonseed oil
and lubricating oil, as well as many
infiammable nature of this cargo added
to the fears of officials for the safety
of the vessel and the message from
Captain Pavey, showing that the fire
was out, was welcome news.

, London, Sept. 1S. 9.45 p. m.-By one
Of those battering offenses, which al
though costly in men and munitions,
have invariably been successful, Field
Marshal Won HindenDargs army has
at last set foot on the Rovno-Petro-
grad railway between Wilma and
| Dvinsk. The whole Austro-German
forces have been striving to gain this
railway since the fall of the Polish
fortresses.
Russians Fall Back.
The offensive, which began toward
the end of last week, was carried on
from three directions upon Dvinsk and
the railway on either side Of the town,
while further south the invaders ad-
Ivanced towards Wilma. The Russians,
before superior forces supplied with
the usual mass of artillery, were yes
terday forced back to the lake district
(which the railway penetrates, and are
now making stand there.
simultaneously, the Germans pushed
their way eastward towards Slonim
and Pinsk, both of which are on roads
which join the main railway line, while
the Austrians, with whom there are
many German units, are fighting hard
to reach Rovno. the southern terminus
Of the line.
With this railway partly in the
hands of the Germans, the Russians
probably will be compelled to make a
further retirement, although their of
fensive In Galicia, which continued,
might save them by compelling the
Germans to send reirforcements to this
region.
Muscovites Successful in GaIicia.
There is now no doubt of Russian
successes in this district, as, follow
ing the Austrian admission of their
retirement, the Germans tonight an
nounce that after repulsing Russian
attacks they occupied "a favorable po-
sition situated some kilometres west

Of our former position"
The conditions under which the
troops are fighting in the marshy coun-
try in the center and on the southern
end OF the line are described by Ger
man correspondents as most terrible
The country is virtually all under
water, through which the Austro-Ger
mans have to advance against WELL
prepared Russian positions. The east
ern bank Of the Sereth, from which
the Russians are delivering their coun-
ter-attacks, is veritable fortress,
from which the Russians emerge every
time their opponents approach, taking
heavy toll of them in killed. wounded
and prisoners. According to the Rus
sian accounts nearly 10000 prisoners
have been taken in the fighting along
this river.
Operations in the West.
The operations in the west are
great artillery battle from Belgium
to the Argonne. A duel between guns
Of all calibres along the entire front
has now been going on for nearly three
weeks and during the weekend has
been particularly violent around Arras,
in the Argonne and Champagne.
AT several points the German infan-
try, after a heavy -bombardment, at
tempted to storm the advanced trench
es of the allies, but the French reports
say that these attacks all failed. Fight
ing of somewhat similar character
is proceeding along the Austro-Italian
front.
The session of the British parlia-
ment, which opens Tuesday. will be
chiey occupied with arranging to
finance the war. This will include the
levy of new taxes. However, under
the British system whereby ministers
can be questioned and debates raised
many other matters will be discussed

If the Austro-Hungarian ambassa-
dor goes, Captain Franz Won Papen of
the German army, the military attache
of the German embassy In Washing
ton, may go also. Captain Won Papen
was quoted by DR.. Dumoa In the
captured letter as expressing the
opinion that the Dumba plan to tie up
munitions plants in this country is OF
great importance and amply outweighs
the expenditure of money involved" !"
Furthermore, Captain Won Papen Is
represented as saying in a newspaper
interview that he talked with DR..
Dumba about obtaining money from
Vienna for the support CT Austrian
and Hungarian subjects who might
refuse to work in the factories that
were making munitions for "our enc
mics" Whether or not their concoc-
ton of the scheme to disorgarize an
American industry constituted con-
spiracy in restraint of trade within
the meaning of the domestic laws Is
not regarded as of as much conse-
quence as the fact that seems to stand
out that diplomatic representatives of
foreign nations arranged a programme
of interfering with a matter OF do
mestic concern and thereby, apparent

United States Desires Reparation for
Americans Lost on Arabic.

Washington. Sept. 13-Conferences
today between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing and between Secre-
tary Lansing and Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador,
brought the situation growing out OF
German submarine activities to the
following status:
The German ambassador has been
furnished with the evidence OF officers
and survivors OF the Arabic, all agree
ing that the liner was proceeding
peacefully when torpedoed without
warning and has been advised that
the United States desires a disavowal
of the attack and reparation for the
American lives lost
2-The evidence will be sent by
Count Won Bernstorff to the Berlin
foreign office to which IL has not been
available before and ten days will
elapse before Berlin can be heard
from. In some quarters It is believed
that the foreign office, upon examining
the evidence, may change It's position
and disavow the action OF the sub
marine commander who, II was claim
ed in the last note, sunk the liner be-
cause he thought she was about to
attack him.
s+The United States has at hand
all information on the case as Il now
stands and Is ready to decide upon its
course but action must be delayed un-
til Count Won Bernstorff has had time
to exchange communications with his
government.

nor Of a question involving the safety
OF American lives. IT has accepted
Germany's assurances that peaceful
