PURSUIT NOT SLACKENED
Berlin Reports Progress Along tho
Eastern Battle Line.-Russians'
Stubborn Resistance.

London.-The German pursuit Of
the retiring Russians show no signs
of s%lackening, and Berlin reports prog
ress all along the eastern battle line
except in Northern Courland, where
the Russians are offering stubborn
and effective resistance.
From southeast of Kovno, where
the Germans claim to have broken the
Russian resistance, and must, there
fore, be approaching Wilma; along the
Niemen to Grodno and thence south
eastward through the forest of Bielo-
viezh and along the borders of the
Pripet river marshes the Russians are
falling back.
Speculation again is rife as to
whether the Germans intend to push
the Russians further or prepare posi-
tons from which to hold the Musco-
vites. Military observers here believe
this question must be settled before
many days, arguing that any vent
ures proposed for the fall must com
mence to develop 500
The artillery has been the chief
mode of warfare in the west. The
allies guns have been most active,
Smelling virtually the entire German
line. The allies, too, have been using
their aircraft in large sQuadrons to
lombard German barracks and posi-
tions.

FIND NO BODIES IN
RAISED SUBMARINE
LOST IN HONOLULU HAR5oR ON
MARCH rs, NOW IN The
DRY DOCK.
OFFICIALS ENTER VESSEL
No Trace Of Crew Is Found.-Bodies
May Be Under the Debris, Or
Probably Devoured by Marine
Creatures.

Honolulu, T. H.-The hulk Of the
submarine IA, lost in Honolulu har-
Dor March Is, with her crew OF %
men, and placed in dry dock, and now
lies exposed to view, the work of
pumping out the dry dock and raising
the shattered and torn submarine from
the waters of the harbor having been
completed August 81.
No trace of the bodies of the crew
has been discovered, o has the ex-
animation thus far made thrown any
light on the cause of the accident.
The "a lies on her ~starboard side
in dry dock. When the examining
board, composed of Rear Admiral G.
j Boush, Lieut. Commander julius A.
Furer and Lieut.. Kirby b. Crittenden,
entered the vessel they found the
s~tarboard side and bottom filled with
debris, battery plates and some sand
and mud.
II any bodies remain in the "a they
are underneath the debris. Doubt is
expressed, however, If any will be
found, for the great holes torn in the
submarine, only part Of which we're
protected by mats during the months
of raising operations, allowed the ma
rine creatures, with which the waters
Of Honolulu harbor swarm, to enter,
and it is believed probable that the
bodies of the crew have been eatcS.
In addition to the gaping holes in
the stern of the submarine, a big hole
has been torn in the forward part.
The investigating board has not yet
definitely ascertained whether 1t was
this that occasioned the loss Of the
vessel, or whether the hole was torn in
the hull during the lifting operations.

WOULD FORM A REPUBLIC
Mexicans Trying To Start Trouble
Are Arrested BY the San An

San Antonio, Texas.-With the ar
rest Of &c Mexicans, % of whom were
detained Monday, Chief of Police Lam
caster and federal authorities believe
a plan to incite the Mexican popula-
ton of San Antonio to deeds of vio-
lence has been nipped.
The prisoners, according to Chief
Lancaster, are all followers of the
plan of San Diego, an ~extravagant
manifesto which proclaims the repub-
lie OF Texas for Mexicans. The up
risings in the lower Rio Grande YAK
ley caused the programme to go
amiss and at the same time federal
officials were put on their guard.
e of the leaders were arrested
Aug. 80, while addressing a crowd of
i 900 Mexicans on the market plaza.
Their reylarks we're of an infiamma-
tory nature and were calculated to
arouse the poorer class of Mexicans
to deeds of violence.
Since the disturbances in the
Brownsville territory special agents
of the United States Department OF
Justice and police officials have been
keeping a close watch to prevent a
possible uprising in San Antonio

LINERS WILL GET WARNING
Germany Accepts Submarine Stand OF
United States.-Wilson's Con-
t%entions Triumph.

MISUNDERSTANDING accepted the
declarations of the United States In
the submarine warfare controversy
when Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, who hurried here
from New York Sept. /, gave oral and
written assurances to Secretary Ian
sing that no more passenger ships Will
be sunk without warning.
President Wilson has achieved
the most notable personal triumph
in the annals of American his
tory and henceforth he is a world
figure of commanding proportions and
a factor in world affairs to a degree
never before attained by an American
statesman. Without the loss Of a
scintilla of the dignity that attaches to
his great office, without casting the
faintest shadow upon the most cher
ished traditions of his country and
with every element of peace with
honor preserved and indicated, he has
brought Germany to recognize the
high principles which he himself laid
down for the safeguarding of the lives
Of noncombatants on merchantmen
plying the open seas and caused that
government to make official guarantee
that its submarine commanders will
not seek the destruction of unarmed
merchant vessels without visit and
search, and without first giving the
passengers of such ships due notice
and opportunity to save themselves.
In other words, Germany through its
American ambassador, Won Bernstorff,
gave assurance to the United States
that there would be no repetition OF
the Lusitania and Arabic horrors al
sea-thus establishing the principles
of the right of neutrals on peaceful
missions to visit belligerent countries
