ALLIES SAY STILL RETREATING
BORDEAUX, Sept. 14.—The crown prince’s army is
now in a precarious position and advices from the front
indicate that he will he hard put to it to escape from it.
It is regarded as probable that he is now retreating north
wards in the hope of joining the general line of the Ger
man armies and of getting away from his dangerous sit
uation.
The position of the crown prince’s army forms the
pivot of the position which the allies forced the Germans
to occupy. This change of position has been the chiet re
sult of the success of the allies. They have compelled the
enemy to fall hack on the right wing so that the German
line instead of facing directly south in a line east ot Paris
is now extending in a southeast and northwest direction.
In other words the German line has been waved hack as
an arm might he waved. The crow n prince’s position may
be compared to the shoulder which has hitherto held its
position and formed a stationary pivot while the rest ot
the line or arm was waved backwards. \\ hat makes the
prince’s position so precarious is that the French torts
east of Ardennes makes retreat impossible in that direc
tion and for that reason the prince will probably have to
retreat to the north if he is not doing so already in the
hope of joining the other German forces on the Meziers,
St. Quentin and Peronne line. The French are already
pursuing the Germans north of Rheims so that the junc
ture of the German armies can hardly mean more than
that they will all be compelled to fall hack together.
BRITISH WIN IN AFRICA
CAPETOWN, Sept. 15.—The British army has cap
tured a German force at Amans Drift in Namaqualand in
South Africa and will probably now proceed to annex that
territory for the British empire. The colony of Namaqua
land is a large one but is mostly barren and not occupier
by troops for more than a fractional part of its area.
JAPANESE ADVANCE ON TSINGTAU
PEKIN, Sept. 15.—The Japanese cavalry vanguard
has arrived at the city of Kiauchau city which is only five
miles west of the boundary of the German settlement. The
cavalry is reported to have received orders to reman,
there until the main Japanese army comes up as crossing
the boundary will probably be opposed by the Germans
in some force although many believe that the Germans
wlil not be unwise to oppose in the open such superior
forces. Real lighting from the land side may be looked
for very soon.
GERMAN RETREAT BRINGS DOWN WHEAT
CHICAGO. Sept. 11.—The victories of the allied arm
ies in France are accepted by the grain trade to mean e
shortening of the war and the result has been a big stam
pede to sell wheat. Some options fell eight and a haK*
cents and May wheat closed at one dollar and eleven cents.

ITALIANS CHEER FOR ALLIES
ROME, Sept. 15.—An extraordinary demonstration
took place in this city last night when great crowds gath
ered in the center of the city and cheered for the allies and
jailed upon the government to come to the side of England
and France against the Germans. So riotous became the
demonstrators that the police were compelled to charge
ihe mobs and disperse them. The chief reason for the
demonstration is the hatred of the Italians for the Aus
trians whom they accuse of having stolen Trieste and
ather Italian cities from the Italian nation. The news of
the German retreat seems to promise to the people of this
jountrv that by taking sides with the allies now they can
recover their lost possessions. The feeling against Austna
.s becoming very bitter and troops are now guarding the
Austrian embassy to prevent the danger of a breach of
neutrality. In some quarters it is feared that the govern- j
ment will not be able to maintain its neutrality and that i
Italy will soon be involved in the great war.

BELGIANS COME TO WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Secretary of State Bryan
announced today that the Belgian commission which has
come to this country to protest against the alleged Ger
man atrocities will he received at the white house on \\ ed
nesday.
The commission has been appointed to visit this and
other neutral governments in this part of the world to
present proofs of the alleged atrocities while other com
missions have been sent by Belgium to other nations. The
members of the commission declare that they can show
clearly that Germany violated nearly all the rules of civ
ilized warfare and showed in every way its absolute dis
regard for the rights or the lives of those opposed to it.
President Wilson and Mr. Bryan have made a careful
study of the privileges of neutral governments and their
limitations in dealing with belligerent powers and have
come to the conclusion that the Belgian commission can
be received without violating any of the international
agreements.
j NOTES OF THE WAR
Austria issued a note some time ago that she gave up
attempting to invade Servia as her attentions to that
country were merely to punish her. Austria also says
that the Servians were much more numerous than the
Austrian troops engaged in the lighting on the frontier of
the two countries.
The Albanian rebels some time ago entered the town of
Avlona on the Adriatic and have raised the rebel flag
there. The town is about the chief one in the country.
The National Society of Poland has called on all Poles
to maintain strict neutrality in the present war and not
to light for either side. It expresses the belief that the
promise of Polish autonomy by the Russians cannot he re
lied upon until the czar issues a proclamation to that
effect.
When the German army entered Liege they found the
Belgian commander, General Leman, buried under the
ruins of one of the destroyed forts and almost suffocated.
He was taken before General von Emmich and handed
over his sword. In recognition of his bravery and splen
did defense of the city the Belgian general was given hack
the sword and was treated with the greatest courtesy.
COMMANDER GRAND ARMY
FOR STAR SPANGLED BANNER
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 14.—A plea
for the perpetuation of “The Star
Spangled Banner” as the American
anthem, without alloy, was made fer
vently by Washington Gardner, eom
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, in his address before
the 48th national encampment of that
organization here today.
He urged the old soldiers to join in
a movement to pay special honor to
this song, and to discountenance the
practice of playing it in melody with
such “flippant and comparatively
meaningless ditties” as “Yankee
Doodle” and “When Johnnie Comes
Marching Home”. He said there was
something inspiring in an audience •
rising and standing uncovered at the :
majestic strains of the national an
them, but it was “incongruous, bor-1
dering even on the ludicrous” for the
band to strike up some other national
air in medley with this, and to ob
serve the audience resume sitting in ]
“an irregula* half-ashamed manner”, j
It were better not to rise at all when
the national hymn is played in med
| ley, he said.
