ADVOCATES APPROPRIATION
FOR BIG SUBMARINE FLEET

WASHINGTON, Aug 3O.-"With.
out a greatly Increased number OF
submarines for our navy the present
movement for military preparedness.
In this country will appear to the
other nations of the world as ineffec-

statement today Of the National De-

THE, in brief, Is the substance OF
the information which will be given
President Wilson within the next few
days in connection with his effort 10
ascertain all things needed to put this
country in a state of better prepared
ness for war. Primarily. the demand
for an increase in submarines comes
from the navy officers and naval cx-
rerts, hut It is significant that this
request is backed up by army eff
GERS Of high rank. Particularly am
Ong the coast artillery and the coast

demand for submarines.
The explanation of this lies II the

portions Of the sea which can be pro-
tected anly by submarines This Is
because Notifications are not built so
that the guns may sweep these waters
and the currents are so swift and un-
governable that mines can not be
placed in them with any hope of def
mite results
There has come about therefore,
the unusual spectacle Of group OF
army officers joining navy officers in
the demand for better submarine pro-
lection. This will have a profound
effect on the president in the prep
arstion of his recommendation to
congress In behalf Of greater prepar'

A big American submarine building

ceived here today. is operating in

new CURE FOR
White PLAGUE
FRENCH PHYSICIAN ANNOUNCES
THAT PROBLEM is ONE FOR
THE CHEMIST.

Paris, Aug 25.-Dr. Louis Renon, q
physician connected with the Necker
hospital and member Of the medical
faculty of the University of Paris has
announced to the Therapeutic society
that as the result Of long research he
is able to prove that tuberculosis, con-
trary to the generally accepted the
ory, must be treated by chemical
means and not by serums. His paper
has caused considerable stir in medi-
cal circles, where 1t Is held that he
has opened new path in the cure OF
the white plague.
DR.. Renon says that his endeavors
have been directed towards finding a
substance which will kill bacilli in an
animal organization without injuring
the elements Of that organization AS
la beginning he established a list OF
antiseptics which arrest the develop.
ment of bacilli in cultures. He also
found substances without which bac-
ILL cannot develop. These, he says,
are potassium, sulphur, phosphates,
iron and magnesium.
Thus, he claims, therapeutic action
can be obtained by adding certain
substances to an animal organism and
also by withdrawing by dietary means
other substances necessary to the
growth of bacilli.

the First German Ship
Appear on Horizon

Petrograd, Aug. 25-A vivid story
of the German effort to land troops in
Pernau in the northeast corner of the
gulf of Riga, is told by Russian Of
fetal from Pernau, who has reached
here
"At o'clock on the evening of the
10th, while the elite of the $4,000 peo-
pie Of the city were assembled in the
| naval park listening to band con.
cert" the official relates, "a police.
man ordered them to dispense. 1t was
then noticed that German ship was
of shore far away toward the horizon.
She remained for some time making
observations. 1t appeared later that
the Russians had signalled the ship to
halt, not knowing her nationality, and
that signals questioning the vessel as
to this point remained unanswered.
THE people of the city did not be.
come alarmed until cannonading was
heard at sea during the night. At 10
o'clock in the evening the smoke of
seven German ships became visible.
Three of them seemed to be light
cruisers and four transports.
"Soon the Russian batteries on
shore opened fire on the German
squadron. The German ships replied
and the continuous roar of the guns
on both sides coalesced into mighty
chaos of sound.
"The German ships were three miles
away, being unable to approach nearer
on account Of the shallow water. Their
dre was inaccurate. Nobody in Per
nau was killed and but few persons
in Oretols lost their lives. The rail-
way lines were slightly damaged but
were quickly repaired.
"The Germans fired uninterruptedly
from II o'clock in the evening until
8 the next afternoon. Panic seized the
population and people of all classes
rushed for the railroad station and
many were carried away on crowded
train From the cars there were seen
the hulls OF three German transports
which Russian artillery had crippled,
the Russian fire having been accur-
ate"
Another account says that the Rus
SLAMS captured German transports and
sloops carrying landing force and
sank two torpedo boats.

ALLIES CLAIMING
GAIN At STRAITS
FRENCH DISPATCHES SAY THE
BRITISH LEFT WING HAS
TAKEN TURK TRENCH.

Paris, Aug 25.-A French official re-
port on fighting in the Dardanelles be
tween August 20 and the morning OF
August 25, relates that the British left
wing has made progress against the
Turks, occupying 800 yards Of Turk
ish trench in the northern zone of the
fighting, and that French aviator on
August 20 was successful in sending
to the bottom large Turkish trans
port.
The statement as given out by the
French war Office this afternoon reads
"The period Of five days since the
issuing of the last communication on
the Dardanelles has been marked in
the northern zone by further progress
on the part of the British left wing.
These British troops have occupied
800 yards of enemy trenches.
I'm the southern zone the operations
have been limited to artillery actions
and to fighting between patrols.
During the night of August 1924
a French company was successful in
surprise attack on a Turkish posi-
tion used by the enemy for listening
purposes. In the morning of August
25 detachment of Turkish soldiers
endeavored to reoccupy this position,
but they were repulsed.
"On August 20 our squadron bom-
barded with success a point of debark-
ment at Acbachiliman, on the Euro
pean side of the strait, to the north
of Niagara. In spite Of the violent fire
of numerous hostile batteries, one Of
our aviators was successful in sink
ing, at its anchorage, large Turkish
transport"

Belief That Bulgaria
Is to Declare War
TEUTONS MEETING
STERN RESISTANCE
Eastern Invaders Arrive at
Swamp Region and Are
Unable to Advance

Berlin, Aug. rs. Tho Russian
advanced positions to the south
west of the fortress of Brest-
Litovsk were broken through yes
terday by the Germans, according
to an official announcement given
out today by the army headquar-
ters staff.
London, Aug. 25.-The Balkan states
are unquestionably nearer determina-
ton of their future relations with the
warning powers, but so far as has
been announced officially, no definite
step has been taken in the direction
of revival of the Balkan league and
its adhesion to the cause of the entente
allies. There was no confirmation to-
day Of various rumors which excited
London yesterday, chief of which were
reports that Bulgaria had declared
war against Turkey and would assist
in the attempt to force the Dardan-
elles.,
The situation brought about by the
sinking of the Arabic is still eliciting
comment from the English press,
which characterizes unofficial German
explanations as inadequate but inter-
prets efforts to explain the disaster as
evidence of Germany's realization that
her relations with the United States
have reached a serious phase.
The furious efforts of the Austro-
German armies along the eastern front
in the last twenty-four hours have not
been as fruitful as usual in respect to
the amount Of ground gained, which
is taken to mean that they have now
reached the dreaded swamp regions.
German and Austrian reports state
tnat further advances have been
achieved both north and south of
Brest-Litovsk, and that the Pulva
river line has been passed. Austrian
cavalry has entered Kovel, and is said
to be advancing to the north but the
outfanking movement from this quar-
ter will be confronted by the barrier
formed by the river Pripet and the ad-
jacent marshes.
The German press, recognizing this
difficulty, points out that the armies
of the central powers face serious
obstacle in the immense and roadless
Pripet swamps, while the leading Hun
garlan newspapers describe the tact
ical position of the Russians in this
region as extremely favorable.
Another explanation of the pause
in the Austro- German advance against
Brest-Litovsk is that the invaders are
being held up by continual rain and
mist which hampers "Reminiscences
anu artillery fire.
From the other fronts there have
been reported no actions visibly chang
ing the respective positions Of the COM
batants. The English public, stirred
by the large loss of life at the Dar-
danelles and Turkish reports of des
perate fighting, awaits with keen in.
terest official details of the operations
there.
