BREMEN CAUGHT IN NET ?
New York News ASSOCIATION Caves
Officer of British Ship as Au- I
=, thority For Report.

New York, Aug. 26.-The New
YORK City News Association quotes
"an officer of the British merchant
marine" who arrived here yesterl
day aboard the White Star steam
ship Baltic, as authority for the
statement that the German. sub
marine Bremen has been captured
by the British and 33 of her crew Of
35 made prisoners. The Bremen, ac-
cording to the account, was cap
tured in the Straits of Dover in a
steel net on August 2. Two MEM
bers of her crew lost their lives;
The Bremen, it was said, while en-
meshed in the net was sighted by
a British patrol boat, her stern
under water and her bow high above
the surface. After endeavoring for
a time to extricate, the wreck, the
patrol boat steamed away for Dover
with her prisoners.
According to the officer quoted,
the British government has main
tanned silence in regard to the cap
ture, as another. German trans-At-
lantic submarine the Amerika,. was
said to be on the way here, and it
was hoped to capture her also.

Three Railroad Bridges Over the
Angista River.

Paris, Aug, 26. The Bulgarians
have attacked the Greek Port of Kav-
ala and the important Greek town OF
Drama, both held by Greek garrisons,
saws a War Office statement last
night.
The landing of Italian troops at
Saloniki has now been completed, the
statement adds, and the transports
which brought the men have returned
to Italy.
London, Aug. 26.-The British and
Bulgarians have been in touch on the
Macedonian front northeast of Sal
oniki. British troops, despite the Bull
garian fire, destroyed three bridges
over the Angista, in the vicinity OF
Kuchuk, the War Office announces.
Fighting between Bulgarians and
Greeks, principally at Seres, has been
reported in news dispatches from
Greece for several days past. The
French War Office statement, how
ever, is the first official confirmation.
On August %, Athens announced that
Germany and Bulgaria had given a
written undertaking to Greece, that
their troops would not enter Kavala,
Drama Or Seres.
The Bulgarian advance on Greek
territory since the opening of the Al
lied offensive has caused a profound
sensation in Greece.

ed that the Russians have resumed
their advance along the entire Asiatic
front.
The Turks have evacuated Bitlis.
An earlier report said the Russians
were continuing their attacks west OF
Lake Van, where the recapture oi
Mush was announced last night.
"Our offensive west of Lake Van is
continuing" the statement said. I'm
the direction of Mosul, we are pursu-
ing the remnant of the dispersed
Turkish divisions.
The Turkish attempt to encircle the
left flank of the Russian Caucasian
army appears to have received a
crushing blow from the ttpops Of
Grand Duke Nicholas in the region OF
Lake Van. The Turkish encircline
scheme, aimed at regaining Erzerun1
and thus multiplying all the Grand
Dukes victories in Turkish Armenia
appeared about to succeed, but the
Russian reoccupation of Mush and re-
establishment of Russian positions
positions west of Lake Van apparent
ly has made hopeless the Turkish eff
forts.
: The initiative now appears again to
be with the Russians at all impor-
tant points in Asia Minor, and now
that the Turkish offensive on the left
flank has been stopped Grand Duke
Nicholas can continue his march to-
ward Asia Minor.
The turning point came soon aftel
the Turkish occupation of Mush when
the Russian line in that neighborhood
stiffened suddenly. The battle begur
then continued uninterruptedly until
yesterday, when the Turkish forces
despite their reported superiority il
numbers, fell back under the Russian
assault, conducted from the regions
of Melasguerd and Gnishala, and left
Mush again in Russian hands.
The defeat of this group of the
Turkish forces is considered by mill
tary critics here to be of great i'm.
portance, because on the Turkisl
ability to hold Mush and use it as {
tase of operations against the Rus
sian left wing the success of theil
entire campaign in this region wa;
| predicated.

Of Increase in Freight Rates =
Leaders Restive.
ASKING GUARANTEES

Washington, Aug. 26.-The strike
menace is at its most acute stage
President Wilson, informed the rail
way executives yesterday he eoulc
not guaantee at this session OF Con
gress the legislation exacted IN re-
turn for conceding the eight-houl
day. He was then confronted with
this proposal:
/. That the compensation the men
shall receive under the eight--hour
day will be arbitrated; or
2. That the President guarantee
he will approve an increase IN
freight rates sufficient to offset the
increased cost of operation. !
The President is derlared to have
repeated his original promise to use
his personal and political influence
but stopped at that. When the COM
mittee left the White House both
sides were deadlocked.
The delay angered- the brotherhood
leaders. They started to pack and
go home. The move was construed
as a silent threat to call a strike at
once. This information reached the
White House and the President
sent a messenger hurriedly to the
: camp of the leaders with the-sTe.--'
quest that they remain at least an
other day.
Secretary Tumulty was sent to the
headquarters of the executives with
request that the subcommittee re-
turn to the White House. The Pres.
ident wanted to tell them, it is said,
that he expected an answer from
them upon which solution could be
based by Saturday night.
The brotherhoods, on hearing Of
the near-ultimatum abandoned their
plans to leave. By this means only
was a dangerous crisis ayerted.
The railway executives are press
ing their charge that a deep political
game is being played from the
/ White House with the hope that sue
cess will have favorable credit at
I the November election. A well
equipped press bureau has been es-
( tablished and a steady stream of
! "copy" intended to influence public
opinion against the Presidents de-
mands is being issued.
Notwithstanding this situation
President Wilson announced at the
SCabinexmeting that he expected al
samicable settlement Of the contro
syersy in few hours.
Before the executives went into
conference last night one OF then
said:
"We have taken into consideration
In arriving at common understand
ing. that we are the trustees 20:
g17,ooO,OOO,OOO of property and o
she transportation system Of th'
country. We have determined tina
Ne must maintain the integrity o:
bur trusteeship."
