BErtLIN. Sept. 15.
The German Government today for
mally disavowed the action of certain
Gcrfnan cltiiens In attempting to in
sttgsts plots for the destruction ot Amer
ican war munition factories.
"Recently German newspapers have ar
rived In the United (States, containing a
pamphlet 'advising readers to destroy
American ammunition factories." said an
offlclsl statement. "Such a practice- I
officially designated as stupid and dan
gerous. It Is evident that hot-headed pri
vate citlkens. who have been rnlsled, have
trlW to agitate In this mannir by In
sitting the pamphlets. No newspaper
efljee Is responsible."
DUMBA TO tEAVE U. S.
NEXT WEEK, IS REPORT
Safe Conduct Will Bo Unnecessary
Because of His Age

snd. Madam Dumba will sal) from New
Tfork for Vienna within the next week,
according to unofllclal Information reach
ing the State Department No arrange
ments have been made for a safe con
duet, and It was not believed today that
aiy would be necessary. The Ambassa
dor is more than 80 years old. and the
limit tinder which enemy aliens are de
tained in the varloUs warring countries
was said here to be K.
Secretary Lansing declines to cbmment
on the request of Ambassador Dumba to
"be recalled on leave to report." Offi
cials who know his mind were inclined
to believe that he would raise no serious
objection The big object, they say, was
to get Dumba out of this country, and
this object wilt be attained so soon as
Vienna acts.
The department was making an earnest
effort today to get some word from Am
bassador Pendeld to rind out what action
"the Austrian Government had taken.
Communication with the Austrian capital
is demoralized, and it was said In the
chief clerk's office that sometimes lit
ttkes a week to get a short dispatch
through.
PETERSON ASKS "BOY",
FOR NAME OF WOMAN
Cootlnurd from Fage One
away his perfeeio, "why don't you tell the
truth? What I said was, Til be down in
the morning; that's too bad."'
A long wrangle followed. At the con
clusion of the conference Peterson and
Luble shook hands. The youth then went
to the offlce of the Prosecutor and solemn
ly assured that ofndal that he agrees
with Peterson In believing there is a
woman In the case. Luble denied that he
ftnpws her name or even suspecta It.
The detectives are still absolutely
baffled. They have been unsuccessful at
every turn. Not a single theory of the
doten or more put forth has led toany
thlng tangible. No one at work on the
case haa a:ty more Idea of the Identity
ot the mdrderej- or the motive for the

SLAVS DOUBLE FURY;
FOES MAKE ADVANCE
Continued from Pace One
of Grodno and Ollta the German pur
suit continues.
BERLIN, Bept. 15.
Despite, redoubled violence of Russian
counter-attacks and the atubbomess of
Russian defence, the Germans continue
to advance In Poland. In southern Po
land the Russians that ure retreating to
ward Pinsk are being hotly pursued y
the armies of Field Marshall von
Mackeneen.
The official statement of the German
War Offlce, Issued today, states that the

troops of Field Marshal von Hlndenburg,
and that further south the Russians have
been driven across the Schtchara by the

TEUTON RIGHT WING SAID TO
BE FLUNG BACK BY RUSSIANS
PETROGRAD, Bept. 15.
Two sudden flanking movements by the
Russian troops have put the entire Aus-tro-German
right wing in a dangerous
predicament which threatens with dis
aster the great Teutonic invasion of
Russia, according to latest reports re
ceived by the War Office. The Austro
German salient extending Into Russian
territory from northern Gallcla Immedi
ately found Itself in great difficulties. Re
treat is now in progress. Only part of
the Teuton army has been able to ex
tricate Itself.
South ot the Prlpet marshes largo Ger
man forces are hurriedly retreating, pur
sued by the Russians, who have crossed
the Goryn River and are pressing for
ward. Still farther south the Austro
German troops, forced to withdraw to
the Strypa River, are finding Jt difficult
to hold their positions.
In the fighting ot the last three days
more than 13,000 prisoners have been
taken by the Russians. The Austro-Ger-man
armies are believed to have lost
thrice that number in killed and wounded.
Permitting the Austrian and German
forces to advance to the Lutsk-Dubno
line, he suddenly launched an offensive
against the Teutons' left flank from the
Prlpet marshes, at the some time making
a similar attack on the enemy's right
from the Eereth river positions
A German cavalry force that reached
the Vilna-Petrograd Railway has been
driven back and the -railway line from
Dvlnsk to Vllna is again in the hands
of the Czar, according to dispatches
reaching here today.
Air scouts, however, report that the
Germans under General von Buelow have
received reinforcements and that large
bodies of Infantry are again approaching
the railway. The Russians are concen
trated In the region west of Bventzlany
and a big battle Is believed imminent
along the Dvlnak-Vllna line.

man on the field, and he has already had
two years' football experience at Wash
ington University. Wltherow reported

HSXAMER AGAINST
BILLION-DOLLAR LOAN
Continued from Page One
ally of England. The prime movers of
the allied Anglo-American money In
terests are now also actually engaged
In formulating the nefarious plot of
robbing the American people of their
savings which were in gooa iaun u
poslted by them In bur banks. In trust
and life Insurance companies, and in
our savings funds for home use. They
want to aid England and to enable her
to continue the war which shs Is now
waging to retain ths mastery of the
seas and to control the commerce of all
the world for alt times. I call upon all
patriotic American cltiicns to psts res
olutions In every American society or
association to express their abhorrence
of this unpatriotic and pro-British
scheme and to earnestly appeal to the
President of the United States and the
Secretary of State to thwart this ivll
conspiracy; a conspiracy which would
rpb the American people of the money
wherewith It can alone develop the
natural resources of our land, Increase
our industries and extend our owh
commerce across the seas. Improve our
means of Internal transportation and
aid our agriculture.
I call upon eyery true American to
write to.eVery financial Institution In
which he has deposited money, protest
ing against the use of his money for
the proposed Anglo-French $1,000,MK,COO
loan. C. J. HEXAMER.
MONET NEEDED AT HOME.
In addition to this message. Doctor
Hexamer stated that he would later ad
vise every depositor In a bank to with
draw all the money he does not actually
need and Invest It In United States securi
ties. State and municipal bonds, flrsUclass
public utilities and Industrial bonds.
"I would protest Just as violently It
the money were to go to Germany," con
tinued Doctor Hexamer. "We need it here
to develop our own industries, especially
our shipping, which is outrageously sup
pressed. We need It for our tnternat
transportation, which is utterly Inade
quate. I have Just traveled by rail over
a great part of the United States and I
am wondering what we would do If our
single-track railroads were suddenly
called upon to transport troops, muni
tions and supplies from one part of the
country to the other. They cannot even
handle the passenger traffic. We need
our money to build our railroads."
Tho report that German sympathizers
would endeavor to float a $500,000,000 Ger
man loan to absorb money intended for
the Anglo-French loan was denounced ns
a llo by Doctor Hexamer.
"It Is comparable to the fake stories
circulated about strikes at Essen at the
tlmo of the English workmen's protests,"
he said. "You will remember, too, that
our press was supplied with news of a
great Russian victory coincident with
the news that the Czar had taken com
mand of the Russian armies."
Doctor Hexamer suddenly wheeled
about In his chair.
"It Is deplorable that the men., the real
patriots, who are trying to keep this
country out of war, are maligned as
traitors," he said, earnestly. "When the
Impartial history of these times Is writ
ten the people will see that It was tho
German-American clement. In its calm do
liberation, that kept us out of war. They
can revllo me and threaten me. but I am
Just so much an American that I will not
keep quiet now when I know that my
country Is in danger,
"My father and all his brothers fought
against tho present Kaiser's grandfather
In tho republican army and were com
pelled to come with Carl Schurz to this
coutry, where I was born and have al
ways lived. My father was knocked,
down at the polls In Hobpken whllo
working for Fremont and my uncle.
Adolph Hexamer, was stoned while
stumping for Lincoln. Ha also com
manded Battery A, of New Jersey, in
the Civil War.
"But, In spite of all this, I am almost
forced to believe that the only unhyphen
ated Americans are the Canadians, Aus
tralians and Britons who sit' In newspa
per offices and tell us American citizens
what to do to avoid being traitors. It
is revolting."
Doctor Hexamer was positive that the
country at large demands peace.
"I have Just returned from a 10,000
mile trip, which took about two months,
and I talked with persons ranging from
Pullman conductors to Governors and
Mayors,", he said. "They all want peace.
With only one exception, this country Is
united for peace and that exception is
the ammunition maker with his profit
sharers." NO RELIEF IN SIGHT

The opinion of Forecaster BHbs was

that the hot wave was not due to be
broken for from 38 to it hours.
Great discomfort waa felt in all parts
of the city today, but in the poorer
sections there was Intense suffering.
Many of the poorer people cannot afford
the purchase of ice, and because of the
congested quarters in which they live
they were able to get little relief.
