Scott Starts Row
FLAHERTY TAKES UP GAGE
ttenubl'can Organization precedents were
mashed by State Senator Edwin H. Vara
SSv when he made publlo a statement In
Suck hi ordered Mill of hi. political fol
vlwari who are ward or division leaders to
lures the voting lists :n their districts of
phantom voters or surfer political ellmlna-
The Vare orders followed similar orders
Uaued by Congressman John It. K. Scott to
Jh ward committees In the Fourteenth and
Thrteenth Wards. In Issuing the state
n,nt Senator Vare declared that his Inten
tions tB removo "phantoms" from the vot
Itir ts could not be made too strong. Ills
statement follows!
What John It. K. Scott has said In
the Thirteenth -and Fourteenth Wards
In regard to registration and clean poli
tics I reiterate for the entire city, so
far as the Varcs aro concerned. Any
ward leader or division leader who en
courages or tolerates registration frauds
or crooked practices at election In any
form whatsoever will not be recognised
by ra. If a division cannot bo carried
by honest methods I would rather lose
that division than gain It by fraud. I
want It understood that my efforts are
devoted to the elimination of crooked
politics In Philadelphia, and I shall
make It my business to exact from
every leader with whom I have any
connection a strict account oZ condi
tions under his control.
The day of crooked registration and
crooked politics has passed, The politi
cal organisation which would succeed
today must get out an honest vote, and
thai Is what tho Varcs are going to do.
Select Councilman John F. Flaherty, who
was overthrown as leader In the Thirteenth
Ward b Scott through Common Council,
wan William It. Jones, yesterday answered
Congressman Scott's charges that the elec
tion lists in the Thirteenth Ward aro pad
ded with hundreds of "phantoms'' by giving
tho He direct to Scott. ,
"Scott Is a liar and he knows It," said
Flaherty. "The Thirteenth Ward has al
ways been cleaner than his own ward, tho
Fourteenth.
"Let the publlo bo the Judge of whether
Bcott told the truth or not Ono thing Is
certain, and that Is that the ward com
mittee regarded hla sentiments as a joke
snd had a good laugh over his speech.
His charges will not affect our work, as wo
Intend to retain our organization Intact and
to elect our candidates for tho Legislature."
In Penrose-McNIchol quarters the orders
Issued by Vare and Scott were called "poli
tical bunk." M
"They'll find out whether It's bunk," said
Senator Vare. "They'll find out before long
that I mean exactly what I say."
Registration yesterday, the first of tho
three registration days for tho presiden
tial election, was light Tho totals havo
riot been computed, but It Is estimated that
rot 90,000 voters registered. Tuesday. Sep
tember 19, and Saturday, October 7, are the
other two days.

This la the first official announcement
that Turkish troops are fighting with the
Bulgarians against tho Rumanians.
The capture of the Rumanian fortress of
Tutrakan by an army of Oerman and Bul
garian soldiers has aroused much Jubila
tion throughout the Central Empires.
In this city the Bulgarian flag Is being
flown on many buildings, and merchants
are doing a thriving business In the sale
of pictures of King Ferdinand and of Bul
garian generals.
It Is now estimated that about 21,000
prisoners were captured at Tutrakan, along
with 100 guns and a great store of ammuni
tion and provisions, f
Dispatches from S4fla state that the Ger
man and Bulgarian forces In Dobrudja
Provlnco are continuing their successful
advance, drhlng back the Rumanians and
Russians, and that Rumanian defensive
works on tho northern side of the Danube
are being shelled with heavy German
howitzers.
Following ths capture of Tutrakan, the
German and Bulgarian artillerymen opened
up a terrific cannonade against the Ru
manian positions at the mouth of the Ar
Jeshu River, around Oltenltza. It Is at
this point that the German officers are
dlcectlng the campaign to throw a force
across the Danube for a dash against
Bucharest, the Rumanian capital.
Bucharest Is only 35 miles from Tu
trakan. The Allies have lost more than a million
men In killed, wounded ond missing since
the grand oftenslvo against the Central
Powers opened with a Russian attack three
months ago.
This estimate was made today by German
military experts, who said they thought It
conservatIe.y w
Against these losses, the -Allied armies
have only the conquest of Bukowlna and
some Gallctan territory by tho Russians, the
capture of Gorilla by the Italians, a shallow
thrust Into the German lines on the Somme
and the occupation of mountainous Tran
sylvania territory by the Rumanians, as
positive military achievements.
The armies of the Central Powers, keep
ing their lines Intact everywhere under
tremendous pressure, at the same time
struck back with successful blows In the
Balkans. The Bulgarians advanced on both
flanks to positions menacing the Allies In?
Greece. German and Bulgarian forces
struck a severe blow 'against the Rumanians
by occupying Tutrakan fortress, ono of the
bridgehead positions defending Bucharest
The Allies' losses as conservatively esti
mated here follow:
nuaslan ... .. B00.000
British .s. 230.000
French : i ISO. 000
Italian. Serbian and Rumanian combined &0.000
Some Austrian experts and a number of
Germans have estimated the Rustan losses
at more than 800,000, and the combined
Brit sh and French losses at moro than
400,000. Official casualty.llsts given out at
London show British losses of about 125,000
tor the month of August alone.
The danger of any serious reverse on
either the western or eastern fronts Is be
lieved to have passed.
The Anglo-French forces may score fur
ther local successes on the western front
and .the Russians may advance at some
points In the east But any addtt'onal
gains, It Is held here, must be made at such
frightful additional cost In human lives
and with such an extravagant waste 'of
munitions that the people of the allied coun
tries will cry for -peace.
rtt which crosses the Danube there. Ru
mania always has expected an Invasion by
Bulgaria to reconquer the strip of southern
Dobrudja that was wrested from her In the
second Balkan war.
The German-Bulgarian advance is be
lieved to have two objects: to take Bucha
rest and thereby depress the Rumanian
nation, and to draw back to defend the
capital the Rumanian armies which have
every day cut deeper Into Transylvania.
The latter Is the more Important aim and
the slowing up of the Rumanian advance
to the north recently may mean that al
ready It Is being realized.
RU8SIAN3 MARCH SOUTH
It Is believed here, however, that the
Germans are not making allowance enough
ror tne new uussian army inai is in uu
mania. From Berlin comes the news that
strong forces of Russians are close to the
Rumanian frontier east of Tutrakan. The
Russians In force are attacking the Ru
manian city of Dobrlc (Basardjtk), In
southeastern Dobrudja, fifteen miles from
the frontier of Bulgaria, which the Teutons
say they captured. Berlin says the Czar s
forces have been repulsed by Bulgarian
troops. Petrograd has been completely si
lent about the army In Rumania.
In jiorthern Transylvania the Russian
army threatened to envelop the Ausfrlan
army about Dorna Vatra, Just across the
border In the Bukowlna, and the Austriana
have had to retreat
The Austriana have withdrawn to heights
west of Olah Toplltza, south of Dorna
Vatra and twenty miles west of the Ruma
nian border. This Is a withdrawal west
ward of the northern end of the line on
which the Austrlans expected to stand and
resist the Rumanian Invasion. Olah Top
lltsa Is on the River Maros. and the Aus
trlans now are west of the river.
A little south of this point the Rumanians
have occupied the Qyergyo Dltro-Orsova
Pass and threaten to turn ths new Austrian
position to tho north. The Rumanians have
taken seven guns, several machine guns and
valuable food stores.
This steady advance of Rumanian armies
Into Transylvania has caused great Indig
nation, In the Hungarian Parliament and
there Is much opposition to the Government
and Premier Tlsza. The Premier, a Zurich
dispatch says, has told the Opposition lead
ers that he has Induced Emperor Francis
Joseph to Issue a decree proroguing Parlia
ment and would take the decree to every
sitting and threaten to promulgate It It the
attacks of the Opposition become too Uo
lent. A Reuter dispatch from Budapest says
that at Wednesday's sitting of the Diet
Count Andrassy, tho former Premier, In a
long speech moved that the delegations be
convoked. He strongly criticized tho Austro
Hungarian policy toward Italy before the
war, characterizing It as an honest policy
clumsily carried out.
"We offered everything at the wrong
time," he said, "thereby strengthening the
Italian war party."
Premier Tlsza In rerjlv urged the re
jection of Count, Andrassy 's motion. He de
fended the Government's policy tagardlng
Italy and denied Count Andrassy's asser
tion that the offers to Italy had Increased
as the military situation had grown worse.

encirclement of Denlecourt Park, for which
a stubborn struggle Is going on.
In three -days' fighting, despite the In
cessant rain, the French have captured
some 7000 unwounded prisoners, II guns,
(28 of which were heavy howitzers, show
lng how deepty they have bitten Into the
German positions), and no fewer than 2E0
quick-firers.
What makes the achievement more ex
traordinary, according to the vliw here.
Is that the advance was accomplished by
the same troops, Colonials, Chasseurs
Alpines and the regiments "de choo." That
they were able to spring forward, consoli
date the ground won, repel counter-attacks,
and then advance again for three days In
succession, under the present conditions,
la regarded as proof of the French assertion
that their losses are now at a minimum.

CAPTURE OF TUTRAKAN CLEARS
ROAD TO RUMANIAN CAPITAL
FOR TEUTON-BULfiAR ARMY
LONDON, Sept. . Duoharest Is now
open to an attack from the Oerman-Bul-earlan
army that took Tutrakan. The Ru
manian capital la only forty miles northwest
of the captured town, and once the Danube
Is crossed an advancing army could move
easily alons a railroad and up the valley
of tho Dambronltia toward the capital. The
only natural obstacle la a range of hills
some ten miles south of Bucharest. Bucha.
rest Itself Is protected by a ring of twenty
or more forts, but Is on a level plain.
Apparently the Germans and Bulgarians
have not yet crossed tho Danube. The
southern bank, on which they now are.
Is higher than the northern however, and
thus their artillery has the advantage over
the- Rumanians. ...
The town of Tutrakan -Is in Itself unim
portant. Its population Is little over eight
thousand and the country about It Is de
voted largely to fruit growing. Until ths
umnd Balkan war it was Bulgarian and
was called Turtukal. Tho Rumanians took
it and after the war rechristened It Tutra
kan Its main Importance lies In Its strategic-
position as a gate Into the heart of
Rumania and to Bucharest.
ARMORED FORTS BATTERED,
Tho town was strongly fortified by the
Rumanians, who Improved on the defenses
the Bulgara had built for it Many of ths
forts were armored, but they fell like the
Belgian and French armored forts under
the lire of the great Oerman siege mortars.
It may be that the Rumanian staff hardly
expected to be able to hold Tutrakan, but
very plainly their plans went wrong when
so many troops were caught in the tiwn
and forts. ,
Tutrakan was intended mainly as a
bridgehead to protect the rallvHy to Bucha-
PARIS, Sept 8.
Another series of German counter-attacks
was launched by the Germans south of the
Somme River last night, bu all were re
pulsed, according to the official communique
Issued by the French War Omce today.
Theso assaults were delivered In the sector
of Bemy-en-Santerre and Chaulnes, and
they not only broke down, but the Germans
left 200 prisoners In the hands of the
French.
North of the Somme there was a' severs
artillery duel. I
On the Verdun front the French made fur
ther progress on the line of Vaux-Chapltro
and Chenols Wood, attacking with hand
grenades.
According to the correspondent of Paris
Llberte at the front the Kaiser is himself
watching the fierce struggle that Is going on
for the possession of Combles.
The chief gain of Wednesday, the cor
respondent says, was that of tho French
General Mlcheler's forces, which reached
the railroad running from Roye to Peronne
and now hold it for a distance of two and
a half miles, with the result that the Ger
man lines of communication behind the
Somme are now In the hands of the Allies.
Chaulnes, says the correspondent. Is only
about two-thirds of a mile distant from the
French line and Is expected, to fall at any
moment
Moreover, the capture of Berny enables
the French to dominate Barleux, -which Is
