Republic. nj
All business was suspended. The

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The Amer
lean governments first official state
ment concerning military operations IN
Europe was issued tonight by Secre-
tary Baker. inaugurating series
which in time will be devoted largely
10 activities of the United States ex-
peditionary forces. 1t says that while
ascendancy on the Western front has
passed definitely to the Allies, they are
content merely 10 wear down the en-
emy until the force of the American
army makes itself felt in the field.
Operations for the week ended Sep
tember 22 are reviewed by Mr.. Baker,
without reference TO the American
force now in France. The statement IN
part, follows:
"As the time draws near when mill
tary operations on large scale on
the Western front must come to q
standstill, owing TO the approach of
winter, il becomes evident that the
enemy does not feel himself in a'posi-
tion to undertake the much advertised
offensive action so often boasted Of at
home during the past summer, in order

Lansing Gives Naon New
Evidence of German
Intrigue
Bernstorf Knew
OF U.Boat Plans
Learned of Preparation
Before Plotting for Peace,
Says Lansing

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Secretary
Lansing has turned over TO the Argen-
tine government, according to reports
circulated here tonight, many new evil
dences of German intrigue in that coun-
try, involving Sweden. The papers,
which the Secretary is said to have
given to Romulo S. Naon, the Argen-
tine Ambassador to this country, are
reported to consist Of several hundred
messages exchanged in secret code be-
tween Berlin and Buenos Ayres.
Ambassador Naon refused to discuss
the receipt Of any information from
Secretary Lansing or from his own
government. He would not talk OH
the situation, saying he did not know
what course his government would foi-
low. 1t was stated at the embassy that
the Argentine President was not bound
in any way by the resolutions of the
National Legislature, urging a sever
ance of relations with Germany.
Mr.. Ekengren, the Swedish Minister,
visited the White House this morning
to appeal personally to President Will
son in behalf of his government. Earlier
in the week he communicated to Secre-
tary Lansing the regrets of the Swed-
ish government over the Argentine de-
velopments, and, it is believed, assured
the Secretary that his government was
entirely innocent of any intention OF
violating the rules Of neutrality.
At the Argentine Embassy to day
vigorous objection was expressed to
the opinion Of some of the newspapers
that Argentina had lost prestige

] Bennett Now
Leads Mitchell
By 180 Votes
Gains Up to l30 in One Dis.
trict Recorded in the
Primary Recount

William NJ. Bennett's gains over
Mayor Mitchell, as shown by the inspec-
ton Of ballots IN the Republican
primary, rose this morning TO point
where he had a lead Of about 1870
votes. The 18th district gave him
about 40 and the 18th about 13O votes
above Mitchell.
In the 9th, 10th, l1th, 18th. 18th,
14th, 18th and 18th Assembly Districts
the Mayor had lost 273 votes from his
original lead Of 335.
The Mayor gained votes over Mr..
Bennett.in several of the later districts
counted. The Fusion leaders saw the
tide turning in their favor and took
new hope. Some Of the Mitchell sup
porters declared they would not be sur
prised to see the Mayors official ma
jority of 335 entirely wiped out in Man
haitian, but they were confident he
would make it up when the Brooklyn
ballots were inspected. 1t is reason
able to suppose, they said, that the
tables will be turned in Kings, where
Mr.. Bennett polled his big vote The
Mayors big vote was in Manhattan.
The Mayor had not much margin left
when the inspectors began on their
second all nights work last night.
With fourteen Assembly districts out
of the total of twentythree in Man
haitian counted. at 9 o'clock, Bennett
showed a total net gain of 2O4 votes,
which left Mayor Mitchell lead OF
l3l. Bennett made an unexpected gain
of 90 votes in the 14th Assembly Dis
trict.
There were very few erasures found,
either before Bennett's name or the
MAYORS name. in the uptown districts.
These ballots or others which might
in any way be classed as defective were
not included in the count made as the
ballots were inspected. The status Of
such ballots is left to the determlna-
ton of the court, in case Mr.. ben-
nett or the Mayor asks for an ofhciai
recount after the inspection is nnished.
II such ballots were ultimately
thrown out as void, the result would
be to Benefits advantage, as most OF
them were Mitchell ballots. The Ben
nett people claimed that they had dis
covered about 200 such ballots IN the
first fifteen Assembly districts.
Mistakes Believed Honest
II was generally conceded. except by
the radical Bennett element. that there
had been no indications of fraud in the
election as far as the count had gone
last night. The erasures and other
improperly marked ballots were cred,
tied to honest mistakes on the part of
unintelligent voters. These defects. If
thew might be called such, apeared
largely in the districts in lower Man
haitian. where the intelligent voter is
not expected TO be found in such large
numbers as in other parts Of the city.
Mr.. Bennett and his campaign man.
ayers were loud in their cries OF
"fraud" in the 9th Assembly District

Patriotic Senators
Get Death Threat
Lspecial Correspondence1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-It was re-
vealed to-day that several members Of
the Senate and a. few Congressman
have received threatening letters from
anti-war and anti-conscription cranks
in the last few months.
Although most Of the men who have
received these letters would not per-
nit thoir names to be-used, it was
learned that Senators Chamberlain and
King have been the object of anony-
nous attacks. Senator Chamberlain
has turned the letters received by him
over TO the Department of Justice,
while Senator King has destroyed his.
The letters come from the Pacific
Coast. New York, Wisconsin and other
places. They threaten the officials with
all kinds of misfortune and death be-
cause of their attitude on various war
questions in Congress. One letter re-
ceived recently by Senator Chamberlain
told him to select his place of burial
at once, as ne would be q dead man in
seven days.
Senator Kings recent expose of for
eign-language newspaper connection
with the German and Austrian en-
bassies and his vigorous utterances on
war questions in general have made
him the object of anonymous attacks.

with the greatest obstacle from 'ne
British viewpoint, TO peace.
Britain had been drawn into the
erlggle by Belgium, and the restora-
tor OF Belgium has always stood out
above all else.
The British people went into the
war for moral reasons. The menace
Belgium would present as German
province made no impression upon the
great masses in the early days OF the
war before the Kaiser's submarines
and aeropanes began to go under and
above British defences which had re-
NAMED impenetrable through centuries.
When the Kaiser answered the Pope's
peace proposals it was generally ex-
peeted that he would answer that para
mount question. but that honor. IL oe-

Senator La Toilette he considered

Colonel Roosevelt threw aside all re-

the Copperheads of the Civil War. He
suggested that the Senator's place was

Reaching climax, Colonel Roosevelt
added:

United States Senate is . cause for
share and humiliation to every worthy
American"
At the close of the Roosevelt speech
resolutions were adopted denouncing
Senator La Toilette as an enemy Of the
nation and an aid Of Germany.
The resolutions were read by Bishop
Samuel Fallows, a member of the Wis

that such resolutions were necessary,
since to him personally it meant the
severance of classroom ties and long
friendship with La Toilette. Jacob NJ.

CAMP GRANT, ILL.,, Sept. 26.-Colonel
Roosevelt shot facts and figures as
they had been given to him uncensored
at $4,000 National Army men to-day.
He dealt with the present military con-

say. General Barry, of course, oftered
no interruption or dispute to Colonel
Roosevelt's assertions.

Colonel Roosevelt:
