POLISH COUNCIL OF
STATE QUITS IN BODY

Copenhagen, Aug. 31.-The Berlin
Local Anzeiger reports that the entire
Polish council of state has resigned.
The great underlying cause respoa.
sible for the councils decision to aban-
don its attempt to organize a govern
ment under the proposed German pro-
tectorate is the change in the Polish
attitude resulting from the Russian
revolution, according to the newspa-
per.
The direct reasons to be sought,
however, are in the great hesitation
and delay of the Austro-German pow
ers in fntrusting to the Polish author
tiles the control over the Polish army,
in which the Germans wish to incoT-
porate their own forces, and the Ger
man determination to exclude Iithu-
ania from the new kingdom.
The Poles insist that the kingdom,
he proclaimed and have telegra phed
Emperor William asking that Wilma be
included in the protectorate.
The German main reichstag commit
tee has put its seal upon the govern
ments decision by unanimously ap-
proving its plans for separate admin
istration in Lithuania and Courland

NAVY IS
Conveying SHIPS

Washington, Sept l. - American
naval forces are conveying merchant
craft across the Atlantic, il was dis
closed officially at the navy depart
ment, and examination of the records
show that the loss of conveyed ships
by submarines has averaged less than
one-half of / per cent.
American war vessels are regularly
escorting fleets of allied merchantmen
across, the protection being supple
mented. when the danger zone is
reached. by destroyers and other pa
troll craft
American naval officials believe
that an effective system for checking
the submarine menace is being built
up.
Official reports indicate that Amer
lean destroyers have encountered sew
eral U-boats and accounted for them
with depth bombs.
No U-boat has ben captured by the
Americans 1t is the best judgment
OF high officials, however. that several
have been sunk by Admiral Sims le-
stroyers and they are confident today,
more confident than ever before, that
the submarine menace will be substan-
TALLY abated as the number of destroy
ers and other craft is increased.

BRITISH EXPENT'S VIEWS
General Maurice Thinks Plans OF AL.
lies as Now Being Carried Out on
the Enemy's Forces.

London, Sept. 1.-The past week
has been marked by pause on all the
Western fronts-a pause which was in
eyitable after the great successes Of
the previous week, a pause accentu-
ated by the bad weather that affected
the operations all the way from the
North sea to the Italian seacoast,
Major General F. b. Maurice. chief
director of military operations at the
war office, said in his weekly talk.
"At the moment 1t is the Italian
front where the situation is the most
interesting Here also, after a really
important advance, there now comes a
pause pending the readjustment of the
artillery positions.
There is much more to be done in
these pauses. The problem is whether
General Cadorna will be able to get
his guns posted for the renewal of the
operations before the Austrians get up
adequate reserves, some of which are
being brought from the Russo Rou
manian front. That is the problem
in the pauses i'm ali these battles the

We now are in the first phase OF
the Flanders battle. We are exhaust
ing with good success the German re.
serves, and later on Will come the sec
ond phase to which we are all look
ing forward confidently
ON the Russian front there has
been another voluntary withdrawal OF
certain Russian units near Czernowitz.
The result was negligible. but Il
serves to show, in conjunction with
General Korniloff's speech. the state
to which the Russian army has come
and makes 1t even more remarkable
that the Germans have been unable to
achieve more.
"On the Roumanian front Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen's attack failed

denied us In Washington they will be
denied us by the United States gov

we have telegraphed our delegates
to go to Washington and we will meet
and organize our league for democracy

peace terms in that city. If We cannot
