N. Y. PROGRESSIVES
ENDORSE WHITMAN

New York, Sept. 2O.-1ncomplete re-
turns from yesterdays primary elec-
tion in New York fail to decide the
fight for the republican nomination for
the U. 8. senate between Robert
Bacon, former ambassador to France,
and William Calder of Brooklyn, a
former member Of congress. The
vote in 430S out of a total 5,719 gave
Calder today majority of 1861, but
Bacon's campaign managers hoped
that later returns from outside New
York City would wipe out this lead.
Mr.. Bacon was endorsed by Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and many promin.
ent republicans.
Republican leaders today attached
great significance to the success of
Gov. Whitman In winning the progress
s1ve nomination for governor over
Samuel Seabury, who was unopposed
for the democratic nomination for
that office. The $3.50 districts thus far
counted give Whitman 9,4Os to Sea.

according to these returns, both in and

Republican leaders declare that
Whitman's victory In the progressive
primaries proves that the bulk OF the
progressive vote In New York state
will be republican at the coming ma
tional election.

GERMAN LEADER CALLS
FOR RUTHLESS WARFARE.
Head Of the National Liberal Party In
s!sts That No Means Of Defense
i Shall Be Neglected.

Berlin, Sept. 20.-Maj. Ernst Bas-
sernan, leader of the national liberal
party, in keynote speech delivered on
Monday before his constituents in the
Saarbruecken district, declared that
the submarine campaign had been
postponed and not abandoned. Maj.
Baserman advocated the widest pos
sible use Of both submarines and Yep
pelins and the most ruthless methods
Of warfare.
The national liberal leader asserted
that his views were shared by Admir-
al Won Tirpitz, Admiral Won Koester,
Prince Won Buelow and Count Zeppel-
in. He maintained that ''in strug-
gle wherein the existence Of Germany
Is at stake the most ruthless use of
all possible weapons Is called for"
This sentiment was heartily applauded
by his audience. Submarines and
Zeppelins," continued Maj. Basser.

Ons against our arch enemy, England"
Referring to the United States, Maj.
Bassermann warned his hearers
against trusting for any permanent et-
feet on American sympathies to Eng
lands blacklist policy and the achieve
ments OF the Deutschland and other
commercial submarines. He warned
them also not to hope that the pres
ent American protests to England
would have any greater effect than
their predecessors.

Stone Outlines Reply.

Chicago, Sept. 2O-"A word about
the so-called eight hour law as relat-
ed to railroad operatives" by William
J. Stone, U. s.. senator from Missouri
was issued by the western national
democratic headquarters here today.
Accompanying the statement was an
assertion that Senator Stone was rep
resenting the thought of the admins
tration on the subject. The statement
said in part:
"Messrs. Hughes, Roosevelt, Root
Lodge, Peprose, Crane, Pierpont Nor
gan, George w. Perkins and that en-
tire genus maintain that the president
thereby discredited public authority
and weakened the foundation of our
governmental institution.
Zone weakness about this charge Is
that it is false. Nobody threatened the
president or congress; nobody de-
manded anything of them. There was
no controversy between the govern
ment and the railroad employees, nor
between the government and the rail-
road managements. The controversy
was purely industrial.
f.. Nation Facing Tleup.
The trouble had reached point 50
acute that these hundreds Of thousands
of men we're on the verge of strike;
they were about to quit work and thus
leave the entire railroad transporta-
ton Of the country tied up for an in
definite period ..
The statement then points out that
while the crisis existed, senators and
representatives and members of the
administration were receiving COM
munications from all sections of the
country indicating that the public
sentiment almost universally favored
any reasonable means of averting this
catastrophe"
The senator pointed out the possible
effects of strike on the fruit growers
of the far west, on feeders of live
stock, farmers shipping grain on con-
tracts, manufacturers Of steel and tex
tiles under contract to be shipped, on
the fuel supply of the country and on
the mining and timber industries and
their allied interests and dependents.

War 10 Hinted at II Soldiers Taken at

Athens, Tuesday, Sept. 19.-Via Lon
don, Sept. Observation-Disclosures is
reason to believe that the Greek gov
ernment has sent an ultimatum to Ger
many and Bulgaria. expiring Wednes-
day night. demanding the immediate
return of the soldiers taken prisoner
at Kavala. ...
When the Greek seaport of Kavala
was entered by German and Bulgarian
troops the city was garrtso9ed by the
fourth Greek army corps. according
to an Official statement issued by
Berlin, the entire corps, consisting Of
10000 men, asked the German CON-
mander for food and shelter and pro-
lection against the entente forces. The
statement said that to prevent any
breach of neutrality the Greek soldiers
would be transported to Germany, to
be kept there as guests of the nation.
The German account of the affair
differs radically from that given out
at the allied capitals and from stories
sent out from Athens. The number
of soldiers transported to Germany,
according to these versions, was less
than thousand, one account placing

men. The remainder of the garrison
is variously said to have been trans
ported to Saloniki by the French
auththorities and to be encamped on
the island of Thasos.. A recent dis
patch from Athens reported the arriv-
al of some members Of the Kavala gar
rison in the Greek capital but no num-
bers were given. .
The incident caused a profound SEN
sation in Greece and the action Of the
Germans was bitterly denounced by
the pro-ally party. Immediately after
Premier Kalogeropoulos took office,
Athens dispatches said, he intended to
demand the return of the Greek SOL
diers from Germany and that refusal
of this demand would be the signal
for the entry into the war. of Greece
on the side of the entente.

ers Who Are In Sympathy.

New York, Sept. 20.-Despite at
tempted Intervention Of committee
of business men, there seemed to be
little prospect today of averting a gen.
eral strike in sympathy with the
street railway employees. Labor lead
ers aver that the proposed general
walkout will involve about 100000
workers in all trades.
A second conference of the business
men with the mayor and chairman of
the public service commission was
called today.
Union leaders have promised to
withhold their order for sympathetic
strike until after Thursday.
The attempt to operate surface cars
last night resulted in the worst riot
ing since the strike began.
Throughout the night elevated and
subway trains were subjected to al
most ceaseless bombardments of bot
ties and bricks, car windows being
shattered and passengers injured. To-
day there were several attacks and
police reserves were repeatedly called
out.
With the arrival here today of Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, to attend the
funeral of Seth Low, 1t was learned
that the business interests which are
endeavoring to avert sympathetic
strike had invited Mr.. Gompers to at
tend their meeting with labor leaders
tomorrow. Mr.. Gompers held his &C
ceptance Of the invitation in abeyance
pending talks with union leaders.
