PARLIAMENT OPENS;
 LARGE ATTENDANCE
Unusual Interest Shown in Session. Interesting Sessions Tomorrow
 Discuss Air Raid.

London, Sept. IA, 3:33 p. m.-The unusual interest in the reopening of parliament was shown by the large attendance today, but the more im- portant matters which are absorbing public attention were postponed until tomorrow. Premier Asquith will then move a new vote of credit and will utilize the occasion to give the country a general review of the milf- tary and financial situation.
 An attempt was made today to draw out the premier on the subject of conscription, but he said he was not prepared to make any statement regarding the national service. As to the purpose of deputation to call on him to take up this matter, MT. As- quith said: "I don't think this is a matter which can be dealt with con- Viently by way of deputation."
 The question of defense against air. ship raids was brought up in the house Of commons today, an attempt being made to interrogate Thomas J. McNamara, financial secretary of the admiralty. McNamara evaded discus sion of this point by saying it would be improper to give any information in regard to what was being done.

WATCH ON B0;> RIDER
 GROWING MORE STRICT
Two Troops of Cavalry Sent to Fort McIntosh-Inspect
 All Mexicans.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 14.-News of the despatch of two troops of cav airy to Fort Mcintosh, near Laredo, was received here today and gave still further ground for the belief that the American army authorities will find it expedient soon to establish still more strict regulations governing passage between Mexico and this country along the lower part of the Rio Grande.
 Women and children are allowed, in most cases, unquestioned freedom in crossing the river, but males old enough to bear arms are allowed to pass only after rigid examination as to their object. It is now believed that women and children will be placed under the ban.
 It is probable, too, that the impor- tie, horses and other commodities, suspected of having been stolen or ''confiscate," will likewise be barred.
 Boats, already under the ban, will be still more thoroughly searched for and either held by the authorities or destroyed.
 All persons, both military and civil, have been forbidden to show them selves along the American side of the Rio Grande, soldiers being excepted when duty compels breaking the rule. Similar orders have been issued by Carranza General Nafarrette to his men.

LONDON PAPER

Sketch Appeals to Readers to "Stop Jeering at U. S."-President Must
 Consider Whole People.

London, Sept. IA, 4:5e a. m.-The Daily Sketch, 8 picture paper with an enormous circulation, under the cap- tion: Don't Blame the President" ," prints an editorial protest against at tacks upon the United States. The Sketch says:
 Tt is time we stopped jeering at America. It is poor policy, bad pa triotism and the taste is at least questionable"
 Reminding it's readers that the population of the United States in- ciudes millions of Germans, the paper says:
 "Whatever his own private sym pathies it is the business of the Presi- dent to consider the interests and sympathies of the whole people,. .. It is an impertinence for persons outside the United States to express an opinion as to whether the honor of America is inextricably in- volved. The most we can say is that if President Wilson can maintain peace with honor it is his bounded duty to do so. Let Us mind our own business and leave the President to mind his.'

Losses of the British army during the summer were somewhat smaller than in April and May. This is probably accounted for by the com- parative inaction along the Franco Belgian front. It may be assumed that the heaviest proportion of losses was at the Dardanelles. The last previous statement of the total of British casualties was made by Premier Asquith on June 5. It gave {, total of 25s,O6s up to May 31. The losses from that time up to August 21, are therefore shown to have been 123,914, a daily average Of about 1,5OO In the two months before the end of May, the period covered in the preceding announcement the losses averaged roughly about 2,OOO day.

Lenox, Mass, Sept. 14.-The Aus tro-Hungarian ambassador, Dr. Con- stantin T. Dumba, today announced that he had requested his foreign of flee to recall him on leave of absence in order that he might make a per sonal report on the situation in the United States which resulted in a re- quest by the United States governm ent for his recall.

 In view or the situation," he said he probaoly would not make public the statement of his position which he had III nlnd to give to the Ameri- can press. He would, however, have something to say through the foreign press when he reached Vienna. He had, he said, communicated with his government in the only way open to him and was much embarrassed be- cause his message was known in this country before it reached the only person for whom it was intended.
 Dr. Dumba said that he could not tell exactly when he would leave this country, but preparations for steam ship accommodations were now be- ing made through New York agents.
 Lenox, Mass. Sept. 14-Mrs. Dumba will leave LenoX tomorrow for Wash ington where she plans to stay about a week. Then she will rejoin the am- bassador at New York and they will sail as soon as possible. Passage will be obtained on Dutch or Norwegian steamer.

 This was purely official m essaga and now for the first time I authorize it's 'publica tion."

Menaces Railroad.

London. Sept. IA, 12:07 D. m.- Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's of fensive near Dvinsk where the rail- road leading from Wilma to Petrograd has been reached, again menaces the railway connections with the Russian capital The comparative success in other sectors which the Russians have gained in the last fortnight, however, caused the capital to regard the latest threat against it with no great alarm.
 British opinion is that the Cour- land campaign of the Germans not north, the Russians are withdrawing supplies but is likely to fail unless the Russian offensive on the other extreme of the long front can be stopped soon.
 By their latest attack in eastern Galicia the Russians are reported to have penetrated Austro- German trenches in the face of an exception ally heavy artillery fire To the orth, the Russians are withdrawing steadily from the dangerous Niemen salient, opposing the German advance merely by stubborn rear guard ac- tions 4* ..
 The trem endous duel of big guns still marks operations along the Fran co-Be1gian and Italian front. Except for occasional attempts to rush ad- vanced trenches there is little infan- try activity on either side.
 From the near east come reports that the Turks are firing villages on the Asiatic shore of tht Dardanelles and it is suggested that they are pre- pairing to abandon the straits. It is also reported that the Turkish shore batteries on the Asiatic side of tht straits have been almost reduced to silence.

 has silenced Turkish batteries on the Asiatic coast in the Dardanelles which were about to reach camps of the expeditionary force with their fire, and that steady progress is being made against tho Turks on the pen insula.
 The current statement from Con- stantinople on the Dardanelles oper- ations mentions only artillery firing through which the Turks claim to have driven off hostile Warships and to have broken up infantry forma- tions near Anafarta and Seddul Bahr.
 Teutonic demands that supplies for the Turks be allowed to pass through Rumania and various moves made supposedly in connection with these demands attract attention to the Balkan situation.
 A partial mobilization of Rumanian troops has been ordered to meet the concentration of Austrian forces ln Pennsylvania, according to reports from Athens. 1t is understood in Sofia that Germany has demanded permission for the passage of Aus stro-German troops through Ruman- ian territory and the delivery by Ru- mania of various supplies engaged amounting to $4o,000,000.
 The tenseness of the Balkan situa- tion is reported i'll Athens to be bring ing Greece; Rumania and Serbia to consider joint action in case of an Austro-German attack on Rumania. Bulgaria is said not to be included in the negotiations, in view of the Turco-Bulgarian agreement.
 Discussion of changes in the Rus sian cabinet has been revived with the return of Premier Goremykin from the headquarters of Emperor Nicholas. The broad program of the new libaral majority in the Duma for reform legislation is considered un- timely by the government, Petrograd advices state.
