DUBNO FORT CAPTURED
TEUToNs TAKE STRONGHOLD
RUSS VICTORY AT TARNoPoL.
Petrograd Statement Says 5000 Pris-
oners and Large Amount of
War Booty Taken.

Vienna, Sept. 11.-Continuing their
terrific attacks to cut the railroads
from Lemberg to Kiev, the Austrians
have crowned one phase of their gen.
eral action with success, capturing the
great Russian stronghold of Dubno.
In the capture of this fortress the
Teutons have obtained command of
the railroad lines from Lemberg
through Dubno to Rovno and thence
to Kiev and Odessa Dubno is one
of the triangle of fortresses protect
ing the approach of Kiev and is the
second to fall, Lutsk having been cap
tured several days ago. This leaves
only the third fortress, Royno, in the
way of rapid advance toward Kiev
and the outfanking of the great Russ
army, which has fallen back from
Brest-Litovsk.
The Austrian landwehr and cavalry
entered Dubno on Wednesday, They
are already advancing to the north
east, and if they take Rovno, only
about forty-five miles away, it is be-
lieved that they can drive rapidly
northward to the aid of Mackensen's
army, which is advancing toward
Pinsk on the road to Moscow.
Military authorities here attach
great Importance to the capture of
Dubno and assert it may mean the cut
ting off of large Russian forces in the
marsh district far to the north Of the
fortress triangle and southeast of
Brest-Litovsk.

Ina note issued by Foreign Min

the diplomats that he can permit of
no interference whatever by foreign
governments. He explains that he is
in control now of all Mexico except
the state of Chihuahua and Morelos
and part of the state Of Sonora.
The signers of the note to Carranza
are invited to come themselves or to
send representatives to some safe
point along the Rio Grande for con-

CRISIS IS PASSED.
Won BERNsToRFF VISIT TO LAM
SING TENDS TO RELIEVE TEN
SION OF LAST FEW DAYS.
BERLIN TO KEEP ITS PLEDGE
Ambassador Declares He Is confident
That There Will Be No Break Be-
tween misunderstanding Wants
Dfsavowal From Kaiser.

Washington, Sept. 15.-With an
earnest desire manifested by Germany
to adjust the submarine question In
manner satisfactory to the United
States, it looks as though the crisis
in the relations of the two countries
has passed.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, reiterated formally to
Secretary Lansing at state depart
ment conference on Monday that his
government intended to carry out in
good faith the assurances given for
the security of life on belligerent
liners.
He claimed that the note, with ref
erence to the Arabic, declared anew
the principle underlying these assur-
ances.
The ambassador made it clear to
the secretary of state that there was
no purpose on the part of his govern
ment to evade the spirit of the assur-
ances.
He asserted that the instructions
to submarine officers were specific
in requiring them not to attack with
out warning. OF course If vessel
sought to escape or resisted a differ
ent situation would be created.
Mr. Lansing insisted that the bur-
den of proof that ship was attempt
ing to escape or resist must rest upon
the submarine commander.
Count Won Bernstorff argued that
the room for doubt would be restrict
ed if the British government could
be induced to cancel the orders given
to commanders of merchant ships to
ram submarine whenever and where
ever they saw one. The German am
bassador believes that as result
of the care which German submarine
officers will observe there will be lit
tie if any cause for complaint on the
part of the United States.
He urged Mr.. Lansing to accept ar
bitration in case of the Arabic, point
ing out that there was a sharp di-
vergence of views relative to the way
in which that steamer was destroyed.
Secretary Lansing indicated that
this government was convinced of the
correctness of the evidence in its pos
session and he believed Germany
should disavow> the act Of the sub
marine commander.
Mr.. Lansing further advised the Ger
man ambassador that arbitration of
the question of the value of the Amer
lean lives lost by the action of German
submarines was repugnant to this gov
eminent.
The ambassador is confident that an
adjustment of the differences that ex-
list will be reached
$50 far as am concerned he
said, there never will be break be-
tween the two countries. | always
have been optimistic. Diplomacy has
SO many resources that | have never
seen reason to be pessimistic"

capitol, state normal schools and stats
university buildings during the coming
year. The bids were submitted BY
eighteen companies and ranged from
81 per cent to SO per cent Discount
