Berlin AcCIaIns
 Arrival of Bremen
PAPERS TELL PUBLIC IT HAS
 REACHED NEW LONDON
SKETCH CAPTAINS LIFE
Newspapers Have Described the Sit
 uation of New London by the Aid
 of Maps-AIso Print History of the City by the Sea.

Berlin, Sept. 27. $50 a. m., via Lon don 6:03 D. m-The Berlin news
 papers today are acclaiming enthus- iastically the arrival of the German submarine Bremen at New London. The Connecticut town has jumped to
 point of prime interest and the newspapers have found it necessary to describe it's situation by the aid of maps. They are also dilating on the history of the town.
 Feared Something Had Gone Wrong The news Of the Bremen relieves the protracted tension, which had grown intense as the expected arrival of the submarine was delayed from week to week. Apparently authentic
 rumors had been in circulation that the Bremen sailed early in August. Hence fears were entertained in some quarters that something had gone wrong with her and the report of her arrival has been greeted by the news papers as paving the way for the es- tablishment of regular submarine service between Germany and the United States and as answering the alleged taunt of Germany's enemies when the submarine Deutschland re- turned home from her voyage over seas, you can't do 1t again."
 Sketches of Captain Printed. All the newspapers today print a ! sketch of Captain SchwartZkopff, cap tain of the Bremen. who WAS for a | long time in the service of the North l German Lloyd Steamship company, i He served for years on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Gross and distin- l guiShed himself in rescue work in the l Hoboken pier fire in 1900. Captain l Schwartzkopff was the first officer of l the Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm when the war broke out. The steamer was then ] at Spitzbergen on a Polar excursion, i but succeeded in making a home port without encountering the British fleet. l There have been many reports of i the expected arrival of the merchant l submarine Bremen at various ports On 1 the Atlantic coast recently. but up to 1 the present she has not docked in any 1 of them. The announcement of her arrival printed in Berlin probably re- 1 suited from one of these many pre- ! mature reports reaching the German capital
 ts-,New London, Baltimore and Norfolk
 have been reported as the destination l of the Bremen. Recently there has | by officials of the Eastern Forward
 ing Company, American agents for the i German merchant submarines. A re- i port from Westerly, R. l., Sept. 25 said 1 a tug had left there to meet a Ger man submarine which was on the way i to New London.
 The Berlin despatch apparently is confrmatory of the reports that the Bremen had sailed for the United i States and that she is now due here.

BRITISH TANKS" OVERWHELM
 GERMAN MACHINE GUNS.
British Account of Capture of Thiep-
 val and ZoIern.

British Front in France, Sept. 27, noon, via London, 3.03 p. m.-The total number cf prisoners for what are re- garded in all quarters as the beS1 two days the British army has had in France approaches 5000
 Through the night there was heavy fighting, while the British were press ing forward their guns in the path of the preceding days gains. The sun rose with a promise of another splen- did autumn day, only to become over cast later. This interfered with all
 More than 1000 prisoners were work. German dugouts which were so deep that the 12-inch high explo- sive shell could not penetrate them had their doors closed in by debris from explosions. Indeed, with shell fire of all sorts the British literally locked the Germans in their refuges, and under cover of it's curtain ap- peared at the remaining open door ways of the dugouts, which were all connected with underground galleries, and marched out the occupants as prisoners.
 The tanks" or new armored motor cars assisted in the attack, overwheIm- ing machine gun positions.
 The taking of Thiepval and Zollern work means that the German gun positions around Grand Court and in the valley of the Ancre have heen re- vealed and already the Germans are reported to have begun withdrawal of their batterles in that neighborhood.

FRANKFURTER ZEITUNC

Amsterdam, Sept. 27. via London, 4.53 D. m.-Commenting an the Anglo French offensive on the Somme front, the Frankfurter Zeitung says:
 "The enemy achieved tactical gain. It was a terrible day, appalling ly sangufnary for the assailants and 1t resulted in a most trying situation for the defenders. Streams of blood flowed and vast quantities of shells fell upon the German positions north of the Somme.
 Again the British and French hurled a veritable army against our line. A tactical gain was the reSult. In strategy, the entente won noth- ing. Field Marshal von Hindenburg has not swerved hairs breadth from the calm course he has laid The western front experienced the most severe hour it has yet known and in 1t we lost stubbornly defended will lages and valuable positions, but as whole the front remained firm and it was impossible to break through

Death Rate is Decreasing and the
 Births Are Increasing.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-The race of In- dians is no longer a dying race. Cato Sells, United States commissioner of Indian affairs, announced here today on his return from an inspection trip through western Indian reservations. There are more Indians in the coun- try, he said than there have been at any time since the bureau of Indian affairs was established.
 '"The Indian problem was changed recently and the red man is looming up as race which will hold its own > said MT. Sells. "A vigorous health campaign was begun among them three years ago and has brought forth amazing results. The Indian is rap Idly becoming producer of wealth instead of a mere consumer
 There are 350.000 Indians in twen- ty-four states, settled on eighty res- ervations, Mir. Sells said. The death rate has been reduced and births are increasing, he said. The wealth of the Indians is about $500, 100000 and in- cludes 60.000,000 acres of land.

PERRITT HAS PROSPECTS
FOR GOOD SEASON.
Looks as If Poll Will Make Up for HE
Last Years Deficiency.

Poll Perritt, the pitcher. was admit
teddy a big disappointment last season.
His acquisition q year ago was eX-
pected to strengthen the pitching staff
of the Giants. But unless all spring
sings go askew Perritt will make his
presence felt as a Giant twirler this
year. He has attained excellent con-
dition now and is showing such fine
form in practice that it warrants the
prediction that Poll will make up in
great measure for his deficiency last
season.
He realized upon going to Marlin.
Tex, this spring that another year like
last would pave the way for his back
sliding into the minors, and this know
ledge has spurred him to greater eff
forts. He has been taking good care
of his arm, and under the hot Texas
sun has baked it out so that 1t is
primed to answer all calls.
He almost spilled his prospects,
however, when during practice We'd
nesday he essayed to turn a somer-
sault and landed heavily on the back
| of his neck. McGraw promptly took
him to one side and filed him up with
a lecture delivered in true McGrawian
| style-which is to say that 1t was
forceful and covered all points COM
pletely.
| Henry Fabian. who has been at Mar
| lin since late in the winter, making
Emerson field ready for the Giants
use, has left for New York to manage
| the Polo grounds. With him went the
| first Giants rookie to be tagged with
| the Order of the Tin Can. Roesinger
! the youngster who went to Marlin as
ball player, departed for his home He
proved a dismal failure.
