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.

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 or David I. Walsh, who asker renomi natlon for a third term. Nelson B.

"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.
