Amsterdam. Sept 4-According to ad-

After a speech by Herr Fabrius, pres

was resolved to send the following to
the emperor:
Bremen merchants raise an indig-
nant protest against President Wilson's
hypocritical reply to the pope, in
which he processes to combat the Ger
man government In order TO drive the
American people with whom Germany
never had a quarrel. into war which
they reject. II is an impudent and
brazen attempt to sow dissenslon be-
tween the Government and the people
while by British arbtiariness, our non
oombatants, children and women are
cut of from all outside supplies in or
der to exhaust the nation by hunger"
A demonstration also was on the

WAR SUMMARY.

While the major operation OF the
Germans in the Riga district of the
Russian front and the great Italian
campaign for Trieste continue to fur.
nish the chief developments OF military
interest, the German authorities have
caused a momentary diversion by di.
recting a spectacular raid on the Eng
lish coast, apparently directed at one
Of the principal naval bases.
Whether British naval property suf.
fered to any extent from the raid has
not yet been made apparent. II is
known, however, that airplanes engag
ed in the operation reached Chatham
the site Of extensive military and naval
establishments, thirty miles southeast
Of London. and that 1O7 men Of tn,
naval establishment were killed ant
eighty.six wounded.
