threaten to fan into live issue the
smouldering dissatisfaction this coun-

question.
One effect of the new orders, it is
agreed, will be a more insistent de-
mand that this government make use

recent congress.
/ The action of England in placing
an importation embargo until Oct. /
on more than 100 new articles to the
Scandinavian countries and The
Netherlands from all countries, in
cluding the United States, is arousing
most resentment.
Even holders of unexpired licenses
to export the articles listed in the new
embargo have been directed to COM
municate with the war trade depart
ment of the British foreign office be-
fore making further shipments. The
allies claim the countries embargoed
already have received a supply Of the
excluded articles exceeding the nor
NAL domestic demand.
Since congress empowered the pre-
sident with retaliatory powers
through the shipping and revenue
bills, the pressure upon the state de-
lpartment to back up its contentious

blockade the mails and the blacklist
has greatly increased.

London. Sept. l6.--Allied soldiers
have swung forward on three great
battle fronts In the last twenty-four
hours, but have suffered reyerses In
southeastern Roumania.
The British advanced their center
10 within less than four miles OF
Bapaume before slackening their
great offensive north Of the Somme TO
permit the moving up OF heavy artil-
lery. General Haig announced this
afternoon that the villages OF Cource-
lette. MartinpuIch and Flers are now
firmly In British hands. and that
2.s00 oaptiyes were taken In yester-
days fighting. The loss OF these
three villages was officially admitted
In Berlin.
In Macedonia the Bulgarian right
wing Is now In full retreat toward the
Serbo-Greek frontier. according to
official dispatches from Saloniki to-
day. The Russians and French CO.
operating with the Serbians are fol-
lowing up Thursdays successes and
already have driven the Bulgars more
than twelve miles. An ofiicial report
said that troops OF the three allied
nations have recaptured the import
ant Greek town OF Florina, The
British have resumed the offensive on
the left wing, attacking villages held
by the Bulgars after crossing the
Struma river under fire.
The Italians have resumed their
drive toward Trieste, and are report
ed to have broken through the Aus
trian line at several places. Ten
thousand Austrians have been killed
captured or wounded said Rome
dispatch today.
The extent of the Teutonic victory
over the Russians and Roumanians in
southeastern Roumania Is in doubt
Sofa dispatches today asserted that
the Russo-Roumanians have aban.
doned the whole district north OF
Dohric, and are falling back rapidly
toward the Danube to escape capture
! The kaiser telegraphed the kaiserin
from imperial headquarters in the
east that Turks, Bulgars and Ger.

London. Sept, l6.-The British
center has been thrust forward to
u point 900 yards north OF Foureaux
wood In the violent battle raging
north OF the Somme. General Haig
reported to the war Office today.
The whole OF the villages of Cour-
celette, Martinpuich and Fleers are
firmly In British hands. Five hun
dred more prisoners have been cap
tured, making total OF 2,S00 Ger
mans officially reported captured In
the first twenty four hours of the re-
newed Somme offensive.
Four German field guns were cap
tured south OF the Ancre last night
and two local counter attacks by the
Germans failed. Though the Ger
mans resisted desperately, the Teu-
tonic commanders made no attempt to
organize u great counter-attack,
The British carried out many sue
cessiul night raids. entering many
enemy trenches at several places.
Fighting desperately to save them
selves from retreat on u mile-wlde
front, the Germans have been throw
Ing battalion after battalion into
action against the storming British
columns north Of the somme In an
effort to check General Haig's ad-
vance.
The battle began yesterday morn.
