WILSON TO DEFEND
 HIS TREATMENT OF
 BUSINESS SATURDAY

LONG BRANCH, N. J.. Sept. 21.- Political conditions in Michigan and neighboring states will be the subject of a conference here tomorrow be- tween President Wilson and Assistant Secretary Sweet of the department of Commerce, Democratic nominee for governor in Michigan. At Mir. Sweets request the President will see him at 8 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The conference will be the first of a series the President will hold here with po- litical leaders from different states.
 MT. Wilson spent part of his time today reading letters from Demo- cratic leaders giving information on the local political conditions in every doubtful state. This information will be used by Mir. Wilson in planning his campaign. He is learning just what subjects need to be discussed.
 The President has outlined what he will say to the delegations of busi- ness men who will call on him at Shadow Lawn Saturday afternoon. According to his political lieutenants. it will be one of the most important speeches he will make in the cam paign. He will discuss all phases of the administration treatment of business.

Regulars Expect to Leave Sat urday or Sunday, But Will Be Replaced by Regiment of D. of C. Militia.
GUARDS FROM CAPITAL
 EXPECTED NEXT WEEK
Another Battery and a ''Mil- lionaire" Troop Will Ac- company Them - Captain Wilson Assumes Command

Colonel Tillson received orders at Camp Greenway yesterday to move the Twenty-second Infantry, encamp- ed at the Country Club, back to Doug las and the regiment doubtless will leave Saturday or Sunday.
 Already their camp is breaking up, the big tents are down and forty big army trucks are waiting to haul them to the Shelter City this morning. The soldiers went into shelter tents" last night, and have packed all their be- longings, the rest of which will be taken south in a second trip of the trucks this afternoon.
 The truck train which arrived from Douglas yesterday afternoon composes 26 three-ton trucks and IA of a ton and half each, under command of Cap tain Wm G. Fleischouer.
 Everything will be taken by the reg ulars except the mess houses which will be left for national guards report ed on the way from Fort Meyer.
 The news wasn't hailed with hearty delight at Camp Greenway, but it is part of the soldiers life and there was no complaining. Some consola- ton is to be gotten from other news. considered trustworthy that the Third Regiment, National Guards of the Dis trict of Columbia will arrive shortly.
 Guards Due in Week.
 It was even rumored the new guards will reach Warren early, next week, and will be accompanied also by Bat tery A and Troop A, the latter known as the millionaire outfit, composed of college boys, bankers and other pro fessional men. They have been en- camped for months at Fort Meyer, Vir- ginia, and have been literally champ ing at their bits" for this chance to come to the border.
 Captain Washburn of Troop A, the Millionaire outfit, was formerly first and was instructor of the troops be- fore his appointment as captain at the unanimous request of his troopers.
 Keep Regulars Together.
 The recalling of the regulars to Douglas was explained by the recent transfer of the Fourteenth Infantry to Yuma, and a desire to retain the pres ent strength at the Shelter City.
 Members of the Twenty-second and the citizens of the District have found each other entirely congenial during their stay here, the regiment worked itself into the scheme of things here warmly. and its boys, its band. its star ring athletes helped to make things lively on numerous occasions.
 Captain Wilson Commands.
 Under the new system, Captain George G. Wilson of Battery B of the D. c. guards was appointed command ing officer of the camp to succeed Colonel Tillson of the Twenty-second. First Lieut. John R. Vanderhoof has has been named adjutant and Louis B.

FLEE
 PURSUED BY
Won Mackensen, With Great Army of Germans, Bulgars and Turks Retreat in Dis order, Burning Villages.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

BERLIN, Sept. 21-The Germans, under Field Marshal von Mackensen have been defeated in the Rumanian province of Dobrujda, according to the official announcement from Buch- arrest. It is declared that the invad- CTS have retired to the south and are burning villages in their retreat.
 The great battle, which was the eli max of von Mackensen's swift cam paign in the Dobrujda district imme- diately after the declaration of war by Rumania, began on September 15 and ended, says Rumanian headquar- ters, on the goth. With reference to these operations Berlin merely says that fighting in Dobrujda has come to a standstill"
 Rumanians. Russians and Serbians participated against the invaders. strong endorsements having been hurried to Dobrujda when the opera tions under the noted German field marshal threatened to overwhelm section of Rumania. A strong line to the north was hastily fortified and powerful forces were thrown out to oppose the onslaughts of the Central Powers.
 That the six days battle has been a sanguinary one is indicated by the various official statements which told of the intensity of the fighting that has continued without cessation.
