the invaders, while disancction among
the fleeing Russians is becoming
! more and more apparent as the Ger
mans continue to press in on all

ian theater. where the Bavarian
troops have been transferred to as
sist the hard pressed Austrians, there
have been fierce counter attacks
against the advancing Italians These
attacks were in great strength, but

FOR ALLEGATIONS
NOMINATION OF eRlGADIER GEN
ERAL HELD UP, BUT FINALLY
APPROVED BY SENATE.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The confir
nation of Col Carl Reichmann, whose
nomination as brigadier general
was held up because of charges that
he had expressed pro-German senti-
ments, was today recommended by a
majority of the senate military sub
committee, which has had the matter
in charge.
The allegations against Col. Reich
mann were found to be based upon
nothing more substantial than vague
rumors and unfounded criticisms, the
origin of which was such as to give
them no weight with the majority of
the subcommittee
The investigation of the matter has
been going on for several days and
the probe disclosed nothing deroga-
tory to Col Reichmann, declared the
three members Of the committee who
voted to recommend the confirmation
of his appointment.
Senators Fletcher, of Florida, anC
Weeks, of Massachusetts, were two OF
the three members of the committee
who favored recommending the con
frmation.
