SAY RUSSIANS
LOST 100000
SINCE WAY 7
Berlin Reports Declare
Cars First Army Has
Been Annihilated.

Berlin, Sept. / (by wireless to Say
Vile, Long Island).-An official review
Of the eastern campaign, given out to-
day by the Overseas News Agency, es-
Inmates that since May the Russians
have lost at least 100000 men in killed
or wounded and 100000 men captured
by the Germans.
The statement follows:
General army headquarters pub
fishes a review OF offensive movements
in Poland and Russia since May 2, begin
ming with the battle at Gorlice. Army
headquarters estimates the strength OF
the Russian troops then directly en-
gagged in that region at about 100000
In the fighting since May 100000
have been captured and a minimum or
100000 wounded or killed.
This is very conservative estimate.
The actual figures are surely much
higher, because the Russians saved ar
tillery by recklessly sacrificing their
infantry. II is thus evident that the
armies which were attacked at the be-
ginning of the Austro-German often
sive movement have been annihilated
and their losses made up by withdraw
ing troops from other regions, espe-
cially forces ready 70 invade Turkey.
"Garrisons of half-drlled men were
hurriedly transported TO the front from
interior fortresses. All efforts OF the
Russians were fruitless, however They
were driven out Of Galicia, Poland,
Courland and Lithuania. They were
rolled backward in two separate groups.
Twelve fortresses, among them four
large. modern ones, forming the Rus
sian outer and inner lines of defence,
are in the hands of the Germans and
Austrians This is the result OF cam
paign Of less than four months"
The official statement issued from
German army headquarters to-day
says;
During the month Of August the
number Of prisoners taken by German
troops in the eastern and southeastern
theatres Of war, and the quantities OF
war materials captured during the
same period totalled more than 1000
officers and 269 ,S39 men taken pris-
oner, and 1900 cannon and $50 machine
guns taken.
"Of these. 10000 prisoners and S27
cannon were taken at kovno. About
90, 900 prisoners, including 10 generals
and more than 1000 other officers, and
1900 cannon and $50 machine guns
were taken at Novo Georgievsk. The
counting UP Of the cannon and machine
guns taken at Novo Georgievsk has not
yet been finished, however, while the
count of machine guns taken at kovno
has not yet begun. The figures quoted
as totals therefore, will be considerably
increased.
"The stock Of ammunition, provisions
and oats in the two fortresses cannot
be estimated"
The Austrian official statement to-
night says:
"The number Of prisoners captured
in the last few days in East Galicia and
east Of Vladimir-Volynsky rose to 80
officers and 2,2O0 men.
"The total number Of prisoners capt
ured in August by the allied troops
under Austro- Hungarian command
amounts to 100 officers and 1920 men
The war booty taken was "a guns and
III machine guns.
"The total Of prisoners and booty
captured By these forces since the be
ginning OF May amounts 20 Zoo OH
GERS and GAP 500 men and 394 guns and
l,275 machine guns" ------

United States Gains New
Prestige Among the
Nations.
DIPLOMATIC VICTORY
FOR PRESIDENT
Germany Ends Crisis by Prom
lsing Obedience to Law
and Usage.
The World.

President Wilson's patient but un-
yielding devotion to vital principles Of
law and humanity has brought peace
with honor out Of the German crisis.
The memorandum Aled by Count Won
Bernstorf with Secretary Lansing is a
complete acceptance of the American
case on the part of tho German gov
eminent. The victory is a
brilliant victory for the United States.
but the consequences extend far be-
yond national boundaries. The Presi-
dent has re-established international
law. He has again made II a living
and compelling force in the affairs OF
a war-wrecked world. By the
successful use of peaceful methods IN
bringing the German government 10 the
American definition of neutral rights,
the United States has gained a new
prestige among the nations.
The Times.
President Wilson is in a position to
say with the fervor Of full conviction
that Truth is mighty and will pre-
val" The great diplomatic triumph
he mas achieved in the long contro-
versy with Germany is one for which
the world will award him great credit;
it will bring him high distinction, but
it is victory as well of truth and Of
the many sacred principles of justice
and humanity" for which in the vari-
Gus notes dispatched to Berlin he has
commended with so much frmness and
ability. Germany yields 10
President Wilson's firm representa-
tions, she promises obedience to law
and usage, because she is unwilling TO
forfeit the friendship Of this nation.
Most fortunately Germany is able to
say to US through her Ambassador that
the action now taken was decided on
before the Arabic incident occurred.
Obviously, that relieves the very great
anxiety due TO the destruction OF the
Arabic after we had told Germany that
such an act would be regarded as de
liberately unfriendly."
The Sun.
The United States has won great
Diplomatic and moral victory in the
square acceptance by Germany Of those
PRINCIPLES concerning neutral rights on
the high seas for which our State De-
partment has been contending since
last February. Ten thousand
words could add nothing to the simple
announcement that President wilson
has succeeded in this controversy IN
preserving for our people peace with
full honor.

Albany, Sept. I'm glad the Ger

George W. Wickersham, ex-Attorney
General, commenting on Won Berns-

Elihu Root would not make any di-
rect comment 81 have been using both
hands to keep my mind off this inter
national matter in order TO devote all
my efforts to the work we have before
US in the convention" he said.
Ex-Justice Clearwater, Of Kingston,
president of the State Bar Association,
said:
t"fhe action Of Count Won Bernstorff
conclusively demonstrates the wisdom
Of the attitude of our government in
taking and firmly adhering to the posi-
ton that the killing of American cit
liens would be regarded and treated
by US as a deliberate and designedly
unfriendly act.
Germany always has perfectly
known that it was grossly violating
the universally accepted canons of in
ternational law. and it would have con-
tinued TO do so just as long as this
government supinely tolerated that
action. Fortunately we are not vet all
fabby non-resistants.
"The United States has never had
a cause of war with Germany, but
only an action in court against her IN
damages said Lemuel Ely Qugg.
Her concession ought TO remove all
talk Of the controversy between this
country and Germany. The United
States ought to keep in the position
where its President can be healing
instrument when the time comes
"This is one Of the great triumphs
Of modern diplomacy" said Senator
Wagner; "the whole country should
be grateful to President Wilson Tor
continuing the nation in peace and
happiness"

complishment in the history Of mod
ern diplomacy. Republican that / am
! cannot refrain from praising highly
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing not only for overcoming the natu-
raj difficulties of the situation, but ais
the obstacles thrown in their path by
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt
This statement of the German Am
bassador is encouraging as lar as II
goes" said Gordon Knox Bell, but we
cannot pronounce judgment upon 1t
until we can view it in the light OF the
final settlement of the Lusitanla and
Arabic disasters"
"I'm very glad il the announcement
turns out TO be true" ex-Lleutenant
Governor William F. Shechan com
mented, land that it will be adequate
and will mean that the rights, Tor
which the American people have been
contcnding have been fully recognized.

on an American Bark

Boston, Sept. 1.-The American bark
Ruth Stark, Of Boston, was held up by
a German submarine while bound from
Liverpool for this port on August 3.
Captain Rawding says the submarine
fred first what was probably meant as
a warning for her to heave to, but a
second shot, he said, appeared to be
aimed at his vessel Sails were being
lowered when the second shot was
fired.
soon afterward the submarine came
alongside and after learning the iden-
tity of the bark and her destination
permitted her TO proceed.
The Ruth Stark is owned by Crowell

of salt. She was $50 miles off Cape

The Great "cabiria."

The great "Cabiria," conceded one
of the greatest pictures ever produced,
will be seen at the Isis today and
tomorrow. When it appeared in New
York there was not a paper in the
metropolis but that spoke in the
highest terms of the production. 1t

ever before had been attained. 1t is
upon a very elaborate scale and never
before has such a picture been pro-
duced in Pensacola. Some idea of
the picture can be CLEANED by read
ing the following from the New York
Journal:

FREE CONCERT
MUCH ENJOYED
PENSACOLA CONCERT BAND EN-.
TERTAlNS LARGE NUMBER
WILL PLAY NEXT SUNDAY IN
GARDEN STREET PARKWAY.

The Pensacola Concert Band has
taken new lease of life since Con-
ductor Mike Greenblatt has assumed
control.
A free public concert was given on
Sunday afternoon at the Woodmen of
the World hall, corner of Bayien and
Romano, and an appreciative audi
ence listened with much pleasure 20
well varied and splendidly rendered
program.
No better method could have been
devised of bringing the recently re-
organized band under public notice,
and the applause which rewarded
each selection must have been very
gratifying to its members.
The hall is an ideal place for large
gatherings and is being more and
more used as the public gets ac-
quainted with its location, which is
central yet sufficiently removed from
the noise of street traffic
Thanks are due to the officers of
the Woodmen of the World Society,
for it's free use on this occasion.
It is expected that further concerts
will be arranged to be given in the
same hall, of which the public will
be notified in due course, and large
crowds will doubtless be attracted
when the excellence of the music be-
comes recognized.
Next Sunday, at the request Of the
Carnival Association, an open-air
concert will be given from $3.50 to

the weather is propitious, the people
should turn out in thousands, for they

expresses it, the hotel would seem to
