FIWM A STAFF COIUIEHPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-President Wilson informed callers this morning that ho Is still of tho opinion that tho Alex ander ship purchase bill, providing for a Government-controlled lino of steamships to bo used In the South American trade, should be passed at this session of Con gress. He made it clear that ho would not abandon this measure because of the opposition that has developed among tho Democrats of tho House who are opposed to tho measure. Tho President Insists on a world glrdllng merchant maiino that will not only capture commerce In nil channels, but will retain It. Following his conference with tho newspaper correspondents at 10:30 o'clock this morning, the President received Ma jority Leader Underwood and Itejiresen tatlvo Alexander. They called at the White House, It Is understood, to tell tho President of Hio threatened split In the Democrntlo ranks of tho House if tho ship purchase measure Is pressed by the Administration at this session. President Wilson Is believed to have informrd Ttep icsentatlves Underwood nnd Alexander that somo stronger reason must bo pre sented for dropping tho Alexander bill from the Admlnlstiatlon's legislative program. Thu opposition In tho House to tho passage of the measure seems to be well organized nnd somo of the Democratic leaders say that tho President Is Invit ing defeat for tho llrst time In Congicss by Insisting upon tho enactment of the law providing for tho Government-controlled steamship line. The President, however, does not seem In tho least worried by the threatened revolt in tho Ho.ise, and tho Adminis tration leaders profess to bo confident that tho Alexander bill will become a law before tho Senators and Represen tatives aro permitted to adjourn Con gresss and get hack to their homes to look lifter the mending of their "politi cal fences."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S. "Wonderful, but startlingly reckless," said President Wilson today when Lincoln Beachcy, the aviator, turned a double aerial somer sault over the White House grounds somo 1W0 feet up in the air. Tho President watched the all man drive his tiny aero plano through hair-raising evolutions and heaved a sigh of relief when tho ma chine darted off In a straight lino toward tho Capitol at the, other end of Penn sylvania avenue. Beachcy, Induced to como here by Cap tain Mark L. Bristol, chief of the Navy Aviation Bureau, was supposed to dem onstrate to the law makers tho necessity for greater appropilations for Hying ma chines for the u.so of both the navy and army. It was his task to demonstrate the complete control man now had in tho air. When ho reached the Cnpitol the Sen ate and House olllce buildings ueio quickly emptied. Committee meetings broke up as If by magic, and Senators and Representatives, with a small army of clerks and stenographers, crowded out of the big building to take up positions In the pluza. Beachy signalized his arrival over tho dome of the Capitol by turning four back somersaults in his machine in lapid suc cession. Then he circled tho dome thrice and darted back again down Pennsyl- anla avenue. He dKed for tho tall tower of tho Postolllce Department, skimmed over It and up until when tie leached tho Washington monument ho was morothan Iirt) feet aloft. After alighting in Potomac Park tho aWator readjusted some parts of his engine and went up ugnin after a wait of 2U minutes. Tho Piesldent again watched him as he executed fancy llg urjs against tho blue sky. Tho nirmun cut figure "S's," dived, twisted his ma chine Mdeway.s and Hopped over back ward many times. When It was ail over olllclal Washing ton drow a long br.-ath and wont back to work. Tho efittt on Congress has not yet been osceitaiued. J'KTIIOOHAD, Scpt. 29. It Is officially announced that a great battle has commenced between tho Ger mans nnd the Russians along tho lino of the railroad Just Inside of the East Prus sian frontier. Tho battlo lino extends from far to the north of l.ydtkuhncn through Goldapp to Lyck. Tho Oermans ato declared to bo stiongly entrenched nnd to have been very heavily reinforced. Because of thu nature of the territory In which tho light ing Is In progress It Is likely that It' will be sovcral days beforo a definite result can be obtained. The Russian army now engaged Is bo Ing heavily rclnfoiced from tho main re serve army with headquarters at War saw. The weather Is very bad, alternate sleet nnd rain falling and making speedy movements of troops almost Impossible. Tho War Ofllce reports retreat of tho Gorman forces that Invaded Russian Po land. This Is attributed to news of tho continued success of the Russians In Gatlciu. It Is expected that the retiring Germans will be drawn back to strengthen tho Kallsz-Cracow lino with the purpose of withstanding tho Russian march on Silesia. The ictreatlng Germans are be ing pursued by General Rennenkampf's forces, strengthened by tho garrIons from Kovno and Vllaa. They engaged tho re treating Germans at Sopocklnlo and Drus skcntkl, In the Suwalkl district, and In flicted heavy losses. General Rcnnenknmpf reports that the German soldiers whom ho lias been op posing are Held corps, probably brought from the western theatre of war and replaced there by reserves. Ho says that reliable reports have reached him that Kmpror William himself Is directing tho operations against the Russians. (Former reports have had the Gorman Kmperor at headquarters In Luxemburg, and It is believed in Paris that he is directing the battlo of the Als-ne. Be cause ot tho strict censorship at Berlin It Is Impossible to learn of his exact whereabout!), though tho olllclal reports there have Intimated ho was In the west ern war theatre.) General Rennenkampf adds In his re port that the Germans have attempted to capture Ossowlec (southeast of Lyck), but that they wero unable to bring up their big guns. "Tho German forces crossed tho border at four points." he Kays. "They showed their chief htrcngth at Kallsz. whero thev oOtHlpted'the Wnrta- dlntt1ctrut--thls oc'-' tlon of their army suffered heavily at Slerndr (southeast of Kallsz). "Two-other forces advanced to Mlawa and LoniBi, but the latter suffered a severe check. "The fourth advanced by way of Su walkl toward the Niernep. There thoy sufflred heavily fiom our artillery flro, whlPh (.nattered tholr attempt to ad vance. Tho general retreat of those forces, which fa;' outnumbered ourrf, in dicates that they aro being withdrawn to another spot where they aro urgently needed." AVhlle necessarily all plans nro closely guarded, the declaration Is freely made hero that tho Russians will havo ontered Berlin by the first of January next. The entiro Russian active army Is being j moved. That part not requ'red for tho i preront operations is being placed in I strategic locations when- it can be used to nil the gaps in tho active ranks as needed.

Krench and British announcements wore that nil German assaults had been repulsed, while Berlin declared somo of thi Vcrdun-Toul forts had been silenced, that Kaiser's forces wero on tho west bank of tho Mouse In force and that progress had been made In the centre. Iteports from London say tho crisis has been passed nnd tho Allies' win ning moves now aro bcinjr made. Antwerp is holng bombarded by the Germans In a llerco assault to crush the Hanking attacks o Kins Alberfh army. Two of the forts have boon shelled by heavy German artillery. The Germans are moving reinforce ments In several directions to aid in the siege. Germans in East 1'russia have ceased their retirement designed to protect Silesia and turned on tho advancing Russians in tho vicinity of Lyck. A big battle is waging as a conso riuenco of this sudden change of cam paign, and tho Russians from Vilntt and Grodno aro reported as at a standstill. Russians havo seized Uszak and other passes in tho Carpathians, which control tho entrance into Hungary. Possession of these prevent the pass age of Austrian reinforcements from tho south In any attempt to proceed against tho rear of tho Russian troops, now actively moving toward Cracow. A Russian force has al ready penetrated to Tarnow, on the north, only 60 miles from tho main objective of Cracow. The Prsemysl garrison mado an Ineffectual sortie and in the repulse was driven back Into tho f.irts. the Russians occupy ing the town. Heavy bombardment continues. Japanese troops defeated tho Germans in a 14-hour battle on tho outskirts of Tsing-Tao. in Klao-Chuu, accord ing to a Toklo official statemont. It .Is said tho German garrison, with "supplies cut off. is about to surrender. London War OlHco announces that tho Allies continue to hold the advantage in Prance, although there has been no decisive victory- London hopes the Ostend report la true that Mon is burning, as this would indicate tho Allies havo raided German commu nications far t the north ot any point where fightlne has been reported. It also is reported typhoid has broken out In the Invaders" forces and their horses are suffering from jjlanders. Berlin officially announces that the Germans in force nro holdlns the foothold on the weet bank ot the river near St. Mihiel. it la also stated armte operating from Va-rt-nnes have forced the French back and now hold the main hichwnys and railroads In that vicinity. The .VIUcs have been unable to break through the Herman right wins, it is added. Petrogrud War Offices report success- PARIS, Scpt. 28. Furious charges and countercharges, with no definite result, marked the ICth tluy of tho battlo along the entire line In Prance. German onslaughts wore desperate, especlully between the Aisno and tho forest of Argnnne, and on tho line of French forts linking Verdun and Toul. These assault- have been repulsed, according to tho olllclal announcement this afternoon. The statement says tho general sit uation is unchanged, but that attacks aro being made continually by tho Ger mans at cct'.. in points. The statement, briefer n usual, follows: There is nothing new in the gen eral situation. Itelntlvo calm pre vails on the front. At certain points, particularly be tween tho Aisne and the Argonnc, the enemy continually attorn - new and violent attacks, which have been repulsed. This statement was regatded aa tho least satisfactory from a news stand point that has ret "betlf Issued. It made absolutely no mention of the sit uation on the right and left wings, where tho heaviest righting of the 16 day battle has been in progress." The brevity of tho oilicinl announce ment was taken as an indication that tho wishes of the British Government as to the publication of military details would be observed, at least In part, hereafter. It is understood here that a certain plan that had boon conceived In the War Ofllee at London was upset by tho publication of certain details ful though slw eastward-movement toward Cracow and the capture of all the southern passes through the Carpathian into Hungary, Vienna War Office announces repulse of Alues attack on Cattara and the departure of the Meet engaged la the bombardment.
