Turks Still Running.


fighting took place yesterday between
Russian and Turkish army corps Pc
trograd reports further Muscovite sue
cesses have been achieved, and the
soldiers Of the Sultan are again re-
ported as retreating further into him
terland. Heavy losses have been sus-
tanned by the Turks and the Ottoman
army is severely crippled as the re-
suit of recent engagements with the
Russians.
In Galicia, which Austrian province
is now almost wholly controlled by the
Russians, and Bukowina, the Austrian
crownland, which is being rapidly
overrun by the Carmen, severe wealth
er conditions have temporarily check
ed military operations, and the in
vasion of Pennsylvania has not yet
been accomplished. The Russians re-
main masters of practically every pass
through the Carpathian mountain
range, but have thus far been unable
to transport any heavy artillery into
Bukowina, where the Austrian army
maintains a stiff resistance to any
further advance.
Yesterdays engagement near Sois-
sons, where the French retired before
an Unexpectedly determined German
attack, has developed into heavy fight
ing and immense masses of troops
have been hurried to that point by
commanders of both armies. A definite
retreat at that point might result in
a general reshaping of the long line
across France and Belgium and give
strategic advantage of tremendous inn
portance to the successful army, hence
the resistance to the attempted Ger
man advance has assumed a most
stubborn character.
The resumption of offensive opera,
tions by the Germans at this time Is
taken to indicate a desire to force the
war to a elimination as early as pos
sible, the Teuton commanders beins
aware of the great diplomatic pressure
now exerted upon Rumania and Ital!
to enter the conflict, as well as tn,

TEDDY SAYS 1T IS
MOST GRATIFYING
Former President Comments OF
Bernstorff's Note on Sinking
OF Arabic,

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. 1.-The
following statement was given out
by former Prcaident Roosevelt to-
night on Ambassador Won Bern
storff's note concerning the Arabic:
"On its face it appears to be most
gratifying, and il the acts OF the Ger
mans scar it out and if suitable
amends nre made for the lives lost
on the lusitania and Ara biz and for
the Gulfiight and Falaba and similar
cases. and If there is no provision
expressed or implied as to action on
our part, such as was requested by
Germany before as regards England
and France, the results will in every
way be satisfactory.
Il wish to call attention, however
to one thing. This is in no sense a
confession from Germany as it has
been styled in some papers. II Is an
announcement that she intends to
stop the policy of assassination To
stop the police establishes 10 claim
for gratitude, and I take it for
granted, of course. there will be the
most ample amends. so far as such
amends are possible, made not only
for the property, but for the 100
lives OF American men, women and
children who have been assassinat-
ed during the months and over that
policy has been carried out"
