AUSTRIAN
AMBASSADOR WAS
ALSO DOING HIS BIT
Dumba Tried to Get The United
States to Embargo NUM-
tiOns of War

Washington, Sept. 26-That the for
mer Austrian ambassador, Dumba, wa:
taking an active hand in trying to get
the United States to declare an embargo
on munitions in 1918, is proven by pa.
pers in government possession today.
These documents show that he aban.
doned hope of getting this embargo af
ter President Wilson had declared
against it. Instead, he wrote his gov.
ernment that he was in favor of trying
for an embargo on munitions when
shipped aboard passenger ships and ex-
pressed the view that the then secre-
tary of state, Bryan, ''and his demo
cratic followers" might be favorable to
such scheme.
Whether Dumba or Won Bernstorff
spent money to influence congress while
the embargo was up is not revealed.
Dumba did ask his government for $780,
900 to finance his press campaign, of
which some revelations have already
been made. Papers show that he sought
to cause strikes in the Bethlehem and
middle western steel factories, as well
as at Bridgeport.
State department communications
from Ambassador Won Bernstorff show
that he denied Germany was trying to
buy up munitions plants to thwart the
allies, though he defended his right to
do so and made fervid protestations of
his innocence Of any wrongdoing in
this country.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
GET TASTE OF WAR WHEN GERMAN
RAIDERS DROP BOMBS ON LONDONE
(By Lowell Mellett)

Omitted Press Staff Corespondent)
London, Sept. 26.-Upwards of 1OC
American soldiers and sailors got their
first taste of war during the air raids
of the past two nights on London.
They liked it,
The sound of the aircraft guns
bringing them to the first warning of
the raid, was greeted with cheer.
They marched out into the streets
from they M. c. A. hut, where they
were playing cards and pool, singing,
''we re coming, Kaiser BILL
After the raid they joined the British
, in denunciation of the "baby killers. -
A preliminary report by Lord French
Indicated there were two separate raids
during last night. The first group of
flyers failed to reach London, being
drawn off by hot fire from anti-aircraft
guns and aeroplanes. The second raid
was of brief duration.
With twenty casualties reported in
the first statement from Lord French.
the total killed and wounded in the
raids of Monday and Tuesday night
amounted to los.
Not more than two machines pene-
trated our defenses,p Lord French s
statement today declared. "Six were
killed and l6 injured y
''The second group of raiders was
driven off"
The American soldiers and sailors
brought under the fire Of the raiders
wanted to rush into the street to see
the attack at the first sound of the
guns. The sergeant in command order
ed them first to remain at the pool and
card tables at which they were playing.
Then he~commanded them to form in
line two abreast. One man stopped,
carefully racked the pool balls and put
the cards away.
The sergeant sent his little detach-
ment forward and they marched out and
across the street to cellars.
While shells were bursting high over
head and lights sweeping the sky, the
voices of the Americans swere raised in
their song of defiance to the kaiser.
A score of American women war
workers accompanied the sailors to the
cellars prepared for refuge during such
a raid. They were just as cool as the
men.
When the "all clear'' signal was
sounded indicating the Germans had
been driven off, the Sammies and sail
ors emerged from their cellars and re-
turned to their games in the Y. M. G..
A. hut.

British Gained Mile.

! London, Sept. 26.--Field Marshal
Haig started another offensive today.
"East and north east of Ypres al
| $3.50 this morning we attacked on a
wide front, making good progress" he
reported.
| The British assault is the third great
drive which has centered in the bloody
"Ypres sector' in two months. 1t comes
on the heels of bitter fighting which
was the aftermath of British success
ON both sides of the Ypres Menin road
last week.
Haig's report did not definitely fix
the wide 'front.' over which the troops
event over Last week IS drive, which
was also initially described as "east
Of Ypres," extended for q distance of
about eight miles, four on each side of
the YpresMenin road.
British forces gained nearly a mile
advance in this push. Then came a per-
iod Of German counter-thrusts of ex-
traordinary violence.
Last night s reports from Haig de-
tailed day full of bloody encounters,
mostly hand-to-hand, IN which the Brit
ish repulsed these assaults, in some
places from their own trenches.
The British offensive, coming after
the German counter-attacks had thus
been broken up, was regarded as her
aiding fighting of rerocity heretofore
unparalleled on this front.
Elsewhere on the British front, Mar.
shall Haig reported successful raid
last night at GouzecOurt.
Gin the face of strong opposition, :"
he said, "two occupied dugouts were
captured and many Germans were kill
ed by the bayonet. A few were taken
prisoner and a machine gun was cap
tured."

VATICAN BELIEVES
HIS PEACE PROPOSAL
HAS AIDED TEUTONS
Says Austria and Germany
Accepting Terms Helps
Strengthen Them
By Carl D. aroat
Omitted Press staff correspondent)

| Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Sept. 26-American Of
fieials believe there is no immediate
chance of revolution in Germany to
overthrow the kaiser. While official
advices indicate growing discomfort
within the empire, particularly among
women, authorities have concluded that
| the Germans, so used to kaiser domina-
| tion, will cause no upheaval until furth-
er casualties open their eyes to the stu
pidity of living under murderous au-
toeracy.
On this theory Secretary of War Ba-
ker, Secretary of the Navy Daniels and
others engaged in shaping America for
a war against this autocraey are laying
their plans with two or more years of
conflict in mind.
Meantime, offieial adviees here in
dicate the vatican is waiting for Amer
lea "'to see the light. - II is convinced
that the kaiser cannot De overthrown
and believes the American people will
not stand for such sacrifices as the al
lies already have made.
The Holy See believes there can be
no "victor's peace and predicts
either a stalemate or a world revolu-
tion before both sides exhaust them
selves
Inasmueh as the allies, if they ans
wer at all, will endorse President VIII
son S peace program, the pope does not
feel constrained to act further now, the
advices say His attitude is pictured
as:
"I have offered you a way out of
war; you have spurned my solicitations
What more can / doi Nothing"
Moreover, the vitiean thinks that
Germany and Austria have strengthen
ed themselves at home by appearing to
accept peace.
Regardless of the vatican view, Am
erican authorities, in company with
entente diplomats, see in America
growing strength the turning Of the
scales. If the German people continue
" dumb" as to kaiserism, the sheer
force of steel win eventually compel
them to change their attitude, it Is de-
elared.
