Berlin War Report.
Berlin, Sept 21. via London, 3 -.30
p m. The following statement on
war operations was issued today by
German headquarters:
"Western theatre: In the Souchez
Arras section the French artillery is
keeping up a strong fire.
"In the neighborhood of Nueville,
hand grenade engagements developed.
"Blockhouses at Saplgneul, on the
Aisne-Marne canal, northwest of
Rheims, which we reduced to ruins
yesterday, were evacuated during the
night In accordance with our plans
after the remaining parts had been
blown up.
"Several hand grenade attacks at
Hartmanns-Wellerkopf were repulsed.
German Army Progressing.
"Eastern theatre: Army of Field
Marshal von Hindenburg: The troops
of General Eichhorn are progressing
while atticking northeast and south
west of Oschmjana. The right wing
of this army has reached the region
east of Llda and southeast of Novo
grudok. "Army of Prince Leopold: A cross
ing over the Molcasz has been effect
ed at and south of Dworzec. Further
south our troops have penetrated
south of Molozadz-Nowajamys-Ostrow
line, fighting the enemy during pur
suit. . , ,, ,
"Armv of Field Marshal von Mack
ensen: The situation with this army
group is unchanged.
"There is nothing to report in the
southeastern theatre."
Berlin, Sept 21, via wireless tx
Tuckerton, N. J. The offieial an
nouncement from the war department
until date of September 20, contains
the following:
"West of Saint Quentln a British
aeroplane was shot down by a Ger
man aviator. The British pilot was
killed and the observer was cap
tured." The foregoing did not appear in
yesterday's official statement as re
ceived by way of London and appar
ently was struck out by the British
censor.
Review of War Situation.
London, Sept 21. 12-26 p. m La
test reports Irom the Vilna fighting
zone indicate that the Russian army
there has escaped the colls which
Field Marshal von Hindenburg threw
about it By cavalry raids, as brilli
ant as the famous coups of Stuart and
Sheridan, in the American civil war,
a screen of German horsemen swarm
ed about both flanks of the retreating
Russians and stood astride their main'
lines of communication. It now ap
pears to be probable, however, that
these encircling forces are too weak
to impede General Ruzsky's veterans.
The simultaneous movement by
Prince Leopold and Field Marshal von
Mackensen have not resulted In the
expected advance, especially by the
latter who has not been able to link
his scattered troops after their march
through the Pripct marshes.
Defenders of Vilna Escape.
If it be true that the defenders of
Vilna have escaped Russia has cause
to draw a deep breath of relief, for
It Is apparent that the cautious strate
gy of Grand Duke Nicholas was aban
doned for the moment and that Gen
eral Ruzsky's troops remained in VI
na so long that Field Marshal von
Hlndenburg's plans for a junction of
his ulngs seemed for a time certain
of success. North of Llda the Tall
way is in German hands, but the main
forces of the Russians are south of
that point
The domestic situation In Russia,
owing to the strict censorship, is still
a matter of mystery. "When the duma
was prorogued numerous strikes were
called. In many cases the men are
still out. Others returned to work
and as the stoppage was in the na
ture of a protest no long continued
trouble is expected. The Zeufstvo
conferences at Moscow this week will
express agreement in the national
crisis with the duma majority, and
will likely urge upon the highest au
thorities the necessity of appointing
a ministry trusted by the people.
Serbian Campaign Begins.
The longer expected offensive
against Serbia is said to have begun
with a storm of artillery 'fire designed
to cover crossings of the Danube and
Save. The Teutons evidently expect
to push a way toward Constantinople
along the road opened by the Cru
saders. Along the other fronts nothing new
has developed, except the growing in
tensity of the German reply to the
allies' artillery on the western line.
The German censor has passed a
dispatch from Berlin which records
the beginning of the expected Teu
tonic drive through Serbia. It is in
dicated that the aim of the Austro
German armies will be to force their
way toward Constantinople through
tho Morava valley in which railway
l'nes lead to Bulgaria and Turkey.
Awaiting Bulgaria's Answer.
In view of the commencement of
the Teutonic advance to the aid of
the Turks and to effect the cutting
of a land route to the Ottoman capi
tal, tho definite announcement of Bul
garia's attitude, asked by the en
tente allies In a joint note, is await
ed with deep interest in the allied
capitals.
A German submarine, which has
been operating in the Black sea re
cently, has been sunk by Russian
ships, it is announced in Odessa.
Off the British coast the British
steamer Linkmoor, 40-18 tons, has
been sunk, presumably in a renewal
ot the submarine operations.
Two more spies have been tried and
convicted by a British court martial.
One, a man, has been condemned to
death. The other, a woman, received
a teu year jail sentence. Both have
been permitted to appeal.
Austria-Hungary is to appoint at
once a successor to Dr. Dumba as am
bassador to the United States, accord
) ing to advices through Budapest Tin
new ambassador, it is reported, will
be Kajetan Von Marczynski, former
Austria-Hungarian ambassador at
Rome.
Von Hlndenberg Advancing.
The new German encircling move
ment around Vilna has been carried
further and Field Marshal Von Hln
denburg's right wing has now reached
a point southeast of Novogrudok,
which Itself is southeast of Lida,
through which the Russian retreat is
being conducted.
The line to the east from Llda
seemingly Is still open to the Rus
sians, despite the recent reports of
German cavalry along tho lino.
On the western front the French
claim to have scored a success in se
curing a footing on the right bank
of the Aisne-Marne canal near Saplg
neul. Berlin reports the abandonment
of blockhouses there.
Macedonians to the number of 50,
000 have joined the Bulgarian army,
according to advices from Sofia
through Berlin.
Great Britain's expenditures for the
current year are expectod to reach
$7,950,000,000, the chancellor of the
exchequer told the house of commons
today. He estimated that the net
weight of debt at the close of the fi
nancial year would $11,000,000,000.
Recruits In British Army.

mier Asquith Informed the house of
commons today that the figures he
recently gave that nearly three mil
lion recruits had joined tho British
army since the beginning of the war,

HEAVY VOTING
Deep Interest in Joint Pri
maries Aroused by Strenu
ous Campaigns of Re
publicans and Dem
ocrats. Boston, Sept. 21. Despite heavy
clouds presaging rain, a heavy vote
was expected in the joint primaries
in this state today because of Inter
est aroused by the strenuous cam
paigns of Republican and Democratic
candidates The Progressives were
able to participate only to the extent
of nominating a candidate for govern
or. They lacked sufficient signatures
to nomination papers for other offices
Under a new law going Into effect
today the names of candidates of all
parties appeared on a single ballot,
but it was provided that split ballots
should be thrown out
It nppeared probable that the clos
est contest would be for the Repub
lican nomination for governor, for
which the candidates were 'former
Congressman Samuel W. McCall, Graf
ton D. Cushing, former speaker of tho
house of representatives, and former
Governor Eugene N. Foss. Congress
man F S Deitrlck sought to head the
Democratic ticket in place of Govern

Before his departure M. Bark made
tho following statement to the Asso

"It would be infantile to deny that
the role of the T'nlted States in in
ternational finance during the past
year has been extremely Important.
The power of America as a center of
production has been affirmed In in
contestable manner. The needs of tho
belligerents have changed Internation
al credit balances so markedly in
favor of tho United States that the
question of exchange has become
acute
"Supplies which America is sending
to Europe prepare the market for the

ties held in Europe. It is to be hoped
that tho Anglo-French delegates nego
tiating in New York will find a basis
adapted to American tastes and tem

Ho continued:
"Russia is going through a difficult
period as regards exchange. We can
not export our products and there is
a lack of remittances from abroad.
Russia has large payments to make
abroad and she cannot make them in
goods or products.
British and French Aid.
"That difficulty was examined
closely in February and the French
and British governments came to the
assistance of Russia with advances
which have been employed to pay cou
pons and purchase supplies. Evi
dently this policy of co-operation must
be continued. That Is one of the
questions "which the ministers of fi
nance are considering.
"Certain precautions must bo taken
to raise the rate or exchange for the
ruble and give It stability. Improve
ment in exchange will facilitate im
portations into Russia, which now aro
obstructed by depreciation of the ru

"Russia is putting Into the common
effort with her allies alL her resources
in men and money. She receives from
her allies indispensable co-operation.
From the Germans in the beginning,
from the point of preparation for the
war, we have made up part of the
