BRUNSWICK, Ga. October 19:-The
Home Guard was called out last night
to quell disturbance between Porto
Ricans and negroes at the picric acid
ment. The trouble began in the aft
ernoon, when two negroes interfered
with two Porto RicanS who were
fighting. 1t grew in intensity at night.
SO far as reported in Brunswick the
trouble is over. The guard has been
removed. There were no fatalities.

the coast fastened to escape.
Today has been fine and clear and
the Belgian airmen have again come
into their own. The Belgian sky has
been literally full of them and they
have worked great havoc with bombs
and bullets among the enemy forces
fleeing through the gap between
Bruges and the Dutch frontier.
More cannon have been brought up
and all last night and today they
have been pumping shells into the
bottle neck through which the Ger
mans are retreating.
Losses Probably Enormous.
Tho Snymber of Germans killed in
this area since yesterday is, of course,
undetermined. but from the amount
of explosive projectiles, large and
small, dropped on them. their losses
must be tremendous. In addition. the
French cavalry has been making
dashcs here and there and has also
taken its toll.

hold on the coveted coast of Bel

AID FOR THE OPPRESSED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1915 by N. Y. Evening Post, Inc.)
President Wilson today went on rec
ord as in favor of dismemberment of
the Austrian empire SO far as it af-
fects the Czecho- Slovaks and Jugo-
Slavs.
The President rejected the Austrian
peace offer by calling attention to the
events that had transpired since his
fourteen principles of January S were
announced, and while he did not di-
rectly say that the United States could
have no dealings with the Hapsburgs
that is what his declaration of today
will be construed as meaning through
out the world.
The Czecho-SIovaIls have just issued
their declaration of independence On
top of that the President announces the
sympathy of the American government.
Already American troops are aiding
CZecho-SloFak forces. Peace will be
discussed with Vienna only when the
independence of the Czecho-Slovaks VIII
have been won.
The effect OH the Jugo-Slavs and 9TH

Americas interest and sympathy is eN-
pected to be such that the political
turbulence inside Austria Hungary Will
continue with the prospect that more
and more will Germany be weakened
by the troubles Of her ally.

Why Answer Was Delayed.

Why didn't the United States answer
Austria as promptly as Germany
The question has been asked again
and again inside the dual monarchy
and has aroused no end of curiosity
on this side of the Atlantic, but if the
reason need be given at all. it may he
found by Il careful examination OF
the dispatches from Switzerland de-
scribing the exciting scenes in the
Hungarian diet, the belated attempts
of Emperor Charles to soothe the
democratic aspirations of his poly
glot peoples by fantastic schemes OF
LIBERALIZATION and in the declaration
of independence issued in Washing
ton ard in Paris by the Czecho-Slovak
nation.
No policy of the allies has been
fraught with more completely than
that which they have found by cir
cumstance and experience necessary
to pursue with respect to Germany's
vassal neighbor. And such conflicting
opinion as has prevailed emanated
from the two points of view as to how
Germany could be detached from her

ALLIES GET WHOLE
H|NDENBURG LINE
Gen. March Sees Very Great
Speed; 900 Square Miles
Gained in Four Days.

The outstanding features Of the mill
tary situation on the battle fronts, as
outlined by Gen. March this morning
in his conference with the newspaper
men, were these:
British troops have reached the
frontier of Holland, opposite Bruges.
Gen. Foch's drives within four days
released 500 square miles Of territory
from German occupation.
The entire Hindenburg line is now in
control of the allied forces.
Rapid Movement to Rear.
The German retirement from the
Belgian coast district, Gen. March
added, is increasing in breadth and
speed. The movement to the rear on
the whole, he added, is extremely
rapid as illustrated by the extent Of
territory evacuated in four days.
Renewed attacks by Anglo-American
forces opposite Douai have carried the
allied line up to the hastily constructed
German defense system which follows
in 4 general way the Sensee canal and
marshes. No attempt to cross this bar
rier has yet been reported.
While the retirement was in prog
reSs. he said. the American Army
northwest of Verdun was fighting it's
way forward against stiff resistance.
The. Goth Division, New Jersey, Della
ware, Virginia, Maryland and District
of Columbia troops, was identified as
one of those operating east of the
Meuse. The 85th Michigan and East
Wisconsin is now acting as a depot
division on the line of communication,
while the Saith is reported as having
just arrived in France. The 38th Di-
vision has not yet arrived.
More Than 2,OOo, 600 Sent Over.
More than 100000 American SOL
diers have gone overseas, Gen. March
told the members of the Senate mill
tary committee today at their War
Department conference.
Reports to the War Department,
senators were informed, showed :,
vast improvement in the airplane
situation: Production is improving t
a rate which senators regard as being
very favorable. A total of 10000
planes, of which Il very large pro-
portion consists of De Havilands.
have already been constructed, and
the rate of production now huctuates
between 125 and $50 a week, this
number depending upon the produc-
ton of motors.
