Tho buildings were first strengthened

SIEGE GUNS DEMOLISH
MEUSE FORTS, STATES BERLIN
BERIN (by way of wireless through
Sayvllte, L, I ), Sept :4.
Tho War Office, In its official state
ment issued today, declares that tho
Germans aro now bombarding the en
tire chain of tho Mouse fortifications
that extend from Verdun to Toul
Among tho fortresses which are under
attack, and whoso reduction is now
believed certain, aro Troyon, Les Pa
rodies, Camp Des Romans, Llouvllle,
Commorcy and Gironvlllo.
It is stated that the great slego guns,
with which Maubeuge, Liege and Na
mur were demolished, are being used
with telling effect here, and that they
are slowly battering the French fort
resses to pieces.
Tho War Office also announces that
the attempt of the Allies to envelop
the army of General von Kluk on the
extreme right of tho German lino has
failed.
An earlier statement said.
Despite the hardships that the
troops have undergone, because of
bad weather in both the eastern
and western theatres of war, their
enthusiasm is undiminished. They
are fighting for their Emperor, who
is confident of success through their
efforts.
It Is reported from field head
quarters that a number of changes
in command have been made neces
sary. The Emperor and the Crown
Prince are In good health. The
Emperor is in touch with the entire
situation.
In tho eastern part tho Russian
forces took rofugo behind the fort
ress of Kovno. This was shelled by
our trocvps.
In tho Voges cold weather has
followed tho hard rains and thcro
has been a heavy fall of snow.
It also was announced today that re
ports from tho oastorn front stated the
Russians wero using dum-dum bulleti.
An Investigation Is to be conducted,
and Russian officers accused of having
violated the international laws relating
to warfare will bo shot.
Newspapers print stories from eye
witnesses, stating that tho Cathedral
at Rhelms was only slightly damaged.
Tho German press calls attention to
the fact that tho British troops attack
ing Delhi, in 1S5T, did not attempt to
prevent damage to tho famous Indian
monuments, and that the leader of the
Garlbaldlans besieging Rome threat
ened to bombard the Vatican.
Tho Wolff Xcts Agency publishes a
statement giving alleged details of out
rages committed by French military
bicyclists in chnrgo of an officer on
wounded German soldiers in two Red
Cross motor cars near Bcthenecourt.
Tho agency said that only two suc
ceeded in effecting their escape, the
rest being killed and robbed by tho
bicyclists
The German press says that this is
another proof of the barbarious treat
ment that wounded Germans ore re
ceiving at the hands of .the French.
CAPTURE OF MAUBEUGE
UNOFFICIALLY ADMITTED
BORDEAUX. Sept. 24.
It was unofficially admitted here to
day that the Germans had captured
Maubeuge. The admission came from
an attache of the French War Office.
General Desseux, the commandant nt
Maubeuge. is reported to have been
badly wounded.
(The capture of Maubeuge and -10,-000
prisoners was officially announced
at Berlin on September 9. This dis
patch Is the first from Bordeaux con
firming the Berlin statement.)
Minister of War Mlllerand stated to
day that the offensive taken by the
Allies continued to be successful. He
s,ald, however, that the termination of
the great battle now raging -.ould not

Prepauitions aro being made for a

The losses on both sides aro enor

point is covered with dead and wound
ed men, neither side having bean able
either to collect its dead or gather Us

The fighting Is also desperate on thq
extreme left, although the Allies hav
not been able to make any very large
gains and are still unablo to drive the
Germans from the Alsne-Oise triangle.
Both sides are reinforcing. The Ger
mans have combed all of their interior

who can be spared from the army of

LONDON, Sept. 21
Nearly half of the officers aboard the
cruisers Aboukir, Cressj- and Hogue when
they were sunk by a German submarine
attack in the North Sen, lost their lives.
This was rpvealrd toda when the Gov

Sir Percy Scott Contended That Eng

The recent North Sea disaster Is re
garded as suppoitlng tho claims made
by Admiral Sir Porcy Scott In his
reply to Lord Sdenham a few dajs
prior to the opening of tho European
war.
At the time Sir Tcrcy, while not un
derrating tho alue of tho battleship or

the number of submatines. Tho lntter,
ho contended, were of greater efficiency in
maneuvers requliing speed nnd stciecy.
Ho said nlpo that they would pioe In

The truth of his contention he sup
ported by citing tho success of the Jap
nnoso in their late war, when, equipped
with toipedoes Inferior to those now In

tire to Port Aithur.
At the time of his speech Sir Perry's

On September 21 tho Russian troops

Auatrlans destroyed many bridges.
Every day tho number of prisoners

moralization of the enemy Is shown
by tho pillaging and tho panicky re
treat. Prisoners assert that tho ma
jority of their officers nro killed or
missing and that the soldiers feel tho
loss keenly. The newly formed Rus
sian regiments have . covered them
selves with glory, fighting side by

Tho Austrian troops have been rein
forced by largo forces of Goimnns, and
tho combined armies nre offering a dos
perate resistance, but tho Russians are
advancing steadily, tho General Staff
states.
It Is expected that a few' days must

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2I.-Launching

Pass-age of the bill tomorrow intact

This was shown by a test vote of 2IM to

Tho Aga Khan laughod heartily over
tho suggestion that tho Gerraantstlo

remarked smilingly:
".Many of my follow countrymen hav
been In Africa nnd havo seen tho Ger

GERMAN PURPOSE KNOWN.
"Germany's twofold purpose In striv
ing to creato dlssonslon in India Is first
to give troublo to England, which might
cost her victory in tho war; second, to
seize India as part of the Kaiser's dream
of world empire. '
"This .chemo Is as well known to
India ns at Berlin, India will need no
asslstnnco from England to frustrate it,
becnuso tho Indians fully comprehend the
peril of being crushed beneath the mailed
list of Prussian militarism."
Tho Aga Khan's manner became more
grave as ho continued:
"After all, the ono hope of India lies
In tho King nnd Emperor and his Gov
ernment. There can bo no united Jndl
until England has lllshcd her work of
knitting together into one strong nation
tho confusing jumhlo of races, religion!
nnd castes sho has governed so eiic
cessfully for 150 years.
"An apt comparison Is American
domination of tho Philippines. But
there exist now between England and
India affections and sentiments arising
from their long community of interests
which nro not yet found between Fili
pinos and Americans.
BLAMES GERMAN VIEWPOINT.
"Such feeling I behove to be incom
prehensible to tho Germans. It seemi
to me they totally lack a sense of pro
portion, arising from a eympathetlc un
demanding of tho needs of another
people. It Is Incomprehensible to them
that Belgium should have resisted their
advance Into France. Apparently they
fall utterly to understand tho feeling
that, for Instance, would actuate an
American If an alien nation attempted
to send nn army through tho United
States to attack Canada.
"Personally, my antipathy Is not to
ward the German people, who possess
ivuny flno qualities, but ngalnst the
Prussian school of Bernhnrdls, Nleti
hches nnd tho Kaiser's General Staff
n school designed basically for th
cjuhhing of liberalism and independence
of any kind, whether manifested In
Germany or abroad "
"Will Indian troops bo able to stand
ng.ilnst the Germnn army, considering
they havo never before been permitted
to tight whlto men?"
"I think so " the Aga Khan replltd
with n nulet smile. "If need be there
can be 700,000 or 7,000,JOO-tliat wouldn't
be it great number to offer from our
!20,onn,00'j population No. Despite the
