This resolution Is hishly slanllicant at
this time, and moused high Intel est in nil

In its preamble, th tesolutlon dyclares
that Itab's Interests In the Adriatic must
be safeguarded, and that Italy should co

The press Is divided, some of the papers
contending for the Immediate abandon

opinion that dissolution of tho present

In the meantime. Germany ind Austria

"Opinion In Italy Is unanimous In de

"The Italian army Is ready for af

Vitl: the rolling oack of the German tide that swept all over northern France and south and southeast of the Marne and Paris itself, almost to
the upper Seine, on September 6, the new line of contact between the German armies and the allies is now practically that of the last weeks of August.
Toward the north and northwest of Paris the Germans have abandoned Amiens and nearby towns, and moving north from their battle line on the Aisne,
have retreated toward St. Quentin. In the centre they have retreated from Rheims, which they had fallen back to from the Valley of the Marne, and have
given up their positions south of the Argonne, while the French have practically regained the frontier near Nancy and the passes in the Vosges, and have
also retaken some of the border towns in Alsace, near Belfort. At Verdun, Berlin reports renewed bombardment, but the French report the Germans under
the Crown Prince as moving north.

PARIS. Sept. 15.-Whllo official reports
are optimistic beyond doubt, It is too
early to claim a decisive and overwhelm
ing victory for the allies. By masterly
stiatcgy tho Gormans have been ablo to
keep the main linos of their vast army
Intact, although thousands of soldiers,
overcome by exhaustion or unable to
find their way, have fallen Into the hands
of the French nnd British armies, aa
well as a vast amount of munitions,
supplies and armaments.
The Gorman army Is far from shat
tered and, nccordlng to olllclal admis
sions In Paris, the only section of tho
Get man grand army which now seems
to be In danger of being cut off from
the other columns Is that of the German
Crown Prince, which is In the region of
the fotcst of Argonne. Because of the
rugged nature of the country In that
district and tho stubborn resistance of
the Crown Prince's soldiers, this section
wus left farther In front than tho bal
ance of the German line.
Tho army of General Von ICluk Is also
believed to have received a supply of
fresh ammunition for both small arms
nnd artillery.
The extreme left wing of tho French
army, which Is officially known as the
rifth army, has now advanced to a
point slightly northeast of Amiens, the
main body resting around that city. It
hns been part of General Joffre's strat
egy to keep this army moving eastward
und northward as rapidly as possible to
keep hitting at the northwestern ex
tremity of the German line.
From the Information received by tho
Trench General Staff, It is evident that
the Germans havo either fallen back
Into trenches which had been used pre
viously north of the Aisne or else had
be on able to prepare defensive works
fiom which to face the allies,
British troopB are reported to have
crossed the Aisne near the junction of
that river and the Olso, where their
passage was not opposed by German nr
tlllery. This gives the allies a, big ad
vantage, for It makes It unnecessary for
at least a part of their troops to cross
the stream farther to the east, where
they would have to face the German
fire.
The rapid pursuit of tho Germans has
worked Its effect upon the soldiers of the
allied army. The advance guard are ahead
of their heavy guns and tho rapidity of
their movements has extended their lines.
It Is believed that the French and British
soldiers who have been rushing forward
In pursuit of the Germans will need to re.
cover their breath and replenish their
ammunition before they can strike a de
cisive blow. On the other hand, the Ger
mans are nearer to their supply depots
and the retirement of tho right flank
brought It Into touch with reinforcements
which had been hurrying forward.
Even If the allies should be checked
and the Germans should launch a general
offensive movement the invaders would
he handicapped by the worn-out condition
of their right wing The troopu of Gen
eral Von Kluk have been marching and
fighting every day for nearly six weeks
and they are hardly In any condition to
swing forward 'upon another encircling
movement which would mean continuous
fighting and forced marching day and
nU'ht Many of the Germans have been
forced to march under such conditions
that the soles are gone from their boots
and their feet are raw and bleeding
If the Crown Prince's army should be
able to stand firm and the Germans would
attempt a forward movement. Von Kluk's
men would be In the position of outside
running, such as that at the bend of a
race track, and they are so tired that
they probably would not be ablo to get
there In time About tho only recourse
under such circumstancta would be for
the Germans to mass fresh troops on their
right and give the worn veterans a
chance for less arduous work.
Being forced back from their present
poBiuuii, nn jiti mie upon which the i
German could make a stand is that run- I
ring through 8t Quentin. Vervlns and '
Mexleres, which would give them a line l

Ho Is the name of General Charles Roques,
who wns killed by being struck by a bul
let near Bnr-lo-Duc, and that of Captain
Rnoul Ducoucdlo do Keiguualer. The lat

and a great-grandson of "Hiuvo" Du

commanded La Surveillance In 1793 In the
famous fight with tho British ship Quebec.
General Roques hnd just been promoted
on tho field to bo a general of division
whon ho was killed.
Twenty-one train londs of booty col
lected on the battlefield along the Marne
valley havo been brought Into Paris
since Sunday. The spoils Include eleven
guns, seven motor wagons, ammunition
for four mitrailleuses, three neroplanes,
two wagons full of helmets, rifles, swords,
cattrldges and commlssutlat equipment

Tho work of burying German dead that

thousand laborers wero sent out from
Paris to do this work, but many sick
ened of the gruesome task and had to

BERLIN DISTRUSTS
WAR OFFICE DENIAL
OF ALLIES' VICTORY
Crowds Gather on Streets
Demanding the Truth.
Whispers of Socialist Up
rising in Interior of Germany.
I.ONDON, Sept. 15.
ainom prevolls throughout Germany In
splto of the German War Office's denial
that tho Invasion of Franco has been
checked, according to dispatches received
here. Kxcltoment over reports of Ger
man defeatn persist nnd in Berlin pcopl
aro congregating on the streets, demand
ing to know tho truth. In Munich newi
paper ofllcca aro besieged.
Advises from Berlin admit repulses at
Bomo points owing to tho preponderance
of tho alien forces, but declares that theia
at tho most oro but partial victories, not
hindering tho general German advance.
It declares that tho battle In Franco w
without decision tip til Monday night.
The Government Is making publto only
somo of tho losses and the newspapers are
carrying only n small porcentago of even
tho official lists. There Is doclared to be
grave discontent because tho Government
hns failed to mnlte any provision for the
unempioyea. uusiness gonorally is at a
Rtnndstlll and tho leading Socialist news
papers aro complaining becauso the Gov
eminent Is employing prisoners on road
work Instead of hiring German unem
ployed. Somo of tho reports received from Inte
rior Germany say that already thoro are
whispers of nn uprising by the Soclallitj,
who feel thnt tho country has been de
ceived by the Kaiser. Thcao roportB, hoii--ovor,
nro extremely voguo and Impossible
of verification.
Letters to tho Dally Telegraph from Its
correspondent nt Stockholm say that Ber
lin has Undergono startling changes In
tho last two wcoks. The singing, shout
ing, enthusiastic mob that thronged the
streets a fortnight ago has divided Into
hundreds of llttlo groups that stand about
discussing news of the day In low voices.
The stream of humanity that nightly
courspd up nnd down Unter den Linden
hna thinned. It has lost Its boisterous
nes. Landsturm call to colors has drawn
heavily on tho male population In Ber
lin. Women fill beer garden now, with
n sprinkling of older men and, horo and
there, soldiers In gray carrying arms In
slings. Confidence was the spirit of all
two weeks ago; today It la doubt.

End of Stagnation.

Zurlchmoor, uie nlso under charter to
load full cargoes of the product for th(
United Kingdom or Franco, and an In
creasing demnnd Is making Itself felt In
the charter market for similar contracts
Tho Danish steamships, Kronborir
Uranlonborg, Skjoldborg, Dansborg ami
Ksron. and the British steamship Mo
zart, nro now lying at anchor off tho
Dolawaro Breakwater awaiting orders
nnd it Is expected thnt somo or all ot
these vessels will he sent here to carry
out some of the grain.
