upon tho British Isles is one of the
most difficult operations that can be
imagined whilo we possess an un

is for the Germans to bring off a

GERMANS CUT WARSAW
COMMUNICATIONS WITH
FORTRESS OF IVANGOROD
Kaiser's General Staff Claims
Advantage in Battle East of
Wirballen Which Has Rag
ed Since Oct. 6.
BilKLlX, Oct. l.". (Via wireless
via Sayville) Official announcement
was made here to'day that German
troops have cut communication be
tween Warsaw, the capital of Rus
sian Poland, and Ivangorod, the great
Russian fortress on the Vistula river,
60 miles southeast of Warsaw.
Tho general staff reports that the
battle which begun east of Wirballen
(in the Suwalki district of Russian
Poland) has been raging tdnce Oct. C,
with results favorable to the Ger
mans. The report of the general .staff con
tinues: "The repeated attempts of the Rus
sians to take the trenches by storm
have resulted In heavy losses to them.
A terrific artillery fire is directed upon
tho Germans daily in an attempt to
drive them out but thus far all th?so
efforts have failed.
"Following the cutting of communi
cations between Warsaw and Ivan
gorod on the western bank of the
Vistula, the Austro-German forces are
preparing to cross the Vistula.
Preinjsl is Relieved.
"The Austrian stronghold of Prz
rmysi is now completely freed from
tho Russian .ciege. The Russians are
reported 'n fortified positions on ti.o
lino of Notry-Xambor-Midyra, which
is now being attacked by the Aus
trians. This lino was formed by the
Russians to keep in check the direct

VISTULA BUTTLE
STILL UNDECIDED
Russians Deny Austrian Claims
of Victories in Galicia But
Greatest Interest Centers on
Invasion of Russian Poland.
iPrrrflOGnAO, Oct. l.V Tho great
battle of tho Vistula between tho Rus
sian and Austro-German armies is
now in its eighth day, but no decisive
result has been achieved, the lius.sian
otlicial news bureau stated today. It
added, however, that the eonllict was
progressing on ground selected by the
Russian general staff and that tho
situation continued favorablo to the
czar's troops.
The news agency, by authority of
the war oltice, issued a. denial of
claims of victories in Galicia as an
nounced in Vienna, saying:
"The Austrian announcement of the
rout of the Russians at Rrzemysl and
the recapture of Lcmbtrg is wholly
untrue. The operations at Przemysi
aro proceeding successiully and tne
fall of that fortress may be expected
at any time. It is reported that
cholera has broken out in tho gar
rison there. The. main forts have
been silenced by tlu Russian artillery.
"Tho statements issued in Vienna
may recall the fact that when th
Russians were overwhelming the Aus
trians in Galicia and advancing west
ward rapidly, the Austrian general
Ftaff explained the rttreat of their
forces as a strategic withdrawal."
Interest In Russian Poland.
Tho interest of the military experts,
however, no longer centers on the sit
uation in Galicia. It is contlned to the
operations in Russian Poland where
tho German veterans and the picked
troops of the Austrian armies have
been massed in an attempt to smash
the Russian lines before they can
reach Sib-sia. The unotlicial reports
indicate that the Germans have at
tempted to reach "Warsaw and bring
their guns to hear upon the fortifica
tions of that city.
Tho 2ove Vryema correspondent
states that tho German cavalry forces
early in the cok reached a point 10
miles from the Polish capital, but
were driven back for 0 miles. The
fortress of Novo Georgievsk is a
menace to any frontal attack on War
saw. Another TYrtress In Way.
South of Warsaw the fortress of
ivangorod presents another peril to
the German advance. If tho German
center is advancing against the Vis
tula fortresses it will have a. terrilio
task, the military experts declare.

GERMAHS DISCUSS
CAUSE OF BIG WAR
Large Meeting at Turner Hall
Has Discussion of European
Situation As Leading Fea
ture Defend Kaiser:
Turner hall wus packed to its ca
pacity last night. The attraction was
a delightful musical program and ad
dresses in German and English by two
well-known South Benders.
Tho exercises began at 8 o'clock.
?imon Greenebaum presided and of
ficiated as master of ceremonies. In
a few well-chosen sentences he ex
plained the purpose of this demonstra
tion that of rendering aid to the
wounded and suffering of the German
and Austrian-Hungarian armies now
engaged in a titanic struggle with the
allied forces of England, Russia,
France, Belgium and Japan.
Greatly enjoyed were tho renditions
of Thorind Biernc, Jians Boeder and
Kave Nast on violin, 'cello and piano.
Patriotic, sons by tho singing section
of the Turn-Verein were rapturously
applauded.
As iirst speaker of the evening
Chairman Greenebaum introduced tho
Rev. Martin Goffeny, pastor of the
Evangelical church on the East Side.
In an exceedingly interesting and in-
structive discourse of a half hour the
reverend gentleman explained the
causes of tho terrible war now in prog
ress on Belgian and French soil. Ho!
lixed tho responsibility of tho present
eonllict chietly upon England, Russia
and France. England's hostility he
declared to ho due to
jealousy andC
envy engendered by Germany's mar
velous progress commercially and in
dustrially. Russia's inordinate ambi
tion to extend its power territorially
accounts for the dubious course of
that country's diplomatic force. As
lor France, it was governed wholly by
a spirit of revenge for, the drubbing
it y,ut at the hands of Germany in,
1 S 7 0. The plea that Franco is justi
fied in seeking to regain Alsaco and
Lorraino Mr. Gofl'eny held to be wholly
without reason or justice. .Both of
these provinces "were a part of Ger
many for 1,000 years. They wero
wrested from the mother country by
the French and practically held in
bondage for ISO years. By methods
outrageously unjust every effort va.s
made to make tho inhabitants of
Alsaco and Lorralne French instead
of what they wanted to be. JIo spoke
from personal knowledge on this sub
ject, having himself been born and
raised ia that part of the world. His
closing tribute to the noble cause
championed by Germany's brave and
determined defenders was greeted
with enthusiastic applause.
Tho second speaker was John P.
toll. who, !Mr. Greenebaum paid,
needed no introduction to a South I
Bond. i
Mr. Stoll said' he was grieved to see
rvi'v in whipH nnifoil Hprrri'inv icl
enlisted so grossly and unjustly mis
represented by a part of the American
press. Those of German birth or ex
traction living in this country and
composing so important an element of
tho national make-up have just cause
for complaint over the manner in
which war news has been served in
American newspapers. The cutting
of the German cable by England was
an act of vandalism for which no
other excuse can be offered than that
the French ami English censor bureau
did not want the American people to
be correctly advised of what is going
on in the old world. Notoriously false
as have been shown a vast majority
of the dispatches printed in thi.s
country, their offensiveness w;us aggra
vated by the biased, prejudiced and
in many instances ignorant headlines.
The allegation that the German
kaiser is responsible for the present
eonllict in Europe Mr. SUoll dt clared
to be unqualifiedly false and utterly
without foundation. Proof to the
contrary is at hand m abundance.
OJtieial documents given publicity
make clear that the kais.T earnestly
pleaded for avoidance of a conflict at
arms. Pointing to Germany's pre
paredness for war ;us proof that war

Stormy Session Promising Com

AGFAS CAMKNTES, Mexico, Oct.
14. (Delayed by censor.) That Gen.
Reque Gonzales Garza, personal rep
resentative of. Gen. Villa, is the domi
nant figure in the national peace con
vention was proved today when the
convention decided to postpone action
on all important matters until Oct. -0,
to await the arrival of L'5 representa
tives of Gen. Emelino Zapata, who aro
said to be on their way hero from
Morelos.
The decision to postpone action was
reached after a stormy session which
at times threatened to end in com
plete disagreement, and the immedi
ate resumption of hostilities by the
warring tactions. It was a brilliant
personal victory for Gen. Garza, and
not a few of the northern leaders
expressed their disapproval of his
liery eloquence and the personal re
marks he addressed to the convention.
Many Counsel Calmness.
Member after member arose and
counselled calmness. Gen. Ysobel
made a splendid impartial speech urg
ing harmony. Harmony was at last
restored and after a recess of an hour,
tho agreement to postpone action on
all important measures until next
Tuesday was readied.
Everything now points to the suc
cess of tho plan for a commission
form of government for the Alexicaji
republic, and that tho commission
will bocompos-d of seven members.
Five of these will undoubtedly be Gen.
Francisco Villa, commander of the
division of tho north; Gen. Obregon,
of the division of the northwest; Gen.
Emeliano Zapata, leader of the rebels
in the state of- Morelos; Gen. Pablo
Gonzales, of the division of the north
east; Gen. Candido Agullar of Vera
Cruz. The remaining two are yet to
bo agreed upon.

Among the possible candidates for
the next presidential election thus far
mentioned by the so-called civil parties

itary parties faor Antonio Villareal,
president of the convention; Gen.

Tho situation at the Cart anza-Villa
peace conferenee, as reviewVd in theso
messages is that Gen. Calranza has
stepped aside from tho provisionl
leadership and may even withdraw as
a candidate for the elective presi
dency. Administration ollicials today ex
pressed the belief that the crisis on
the border which yesterday threaten
ed "grave international complica

ance of Gov. Hunt of Arizona not to
send the militia to the border, re
moved tho chief cause, for concern, it
was stated. War department ollicials
assert the federal troops will be able
to prevent any serious disturbances
along the international line.
The state department .awaited word
from the Brazilian minister at Mexico

mation concerning the seizure of the

Day's Official Reports on War
Present Serious Contradiction
Today's official reports from the various European capitab on
tre progress cf the war are more confusing and contradictory than
at any previous time. The outstanding features are the announce
ments that Emperor .William has moved his headquarters farther
into France; that fighting is in progress near Warsaw, and that the
conflict in France continues without definite result.
BERLIN, Oct. IS. (Bv Wireless via S.iyville, . Y.) It is ot
liciallv announced that German troops have repulsed the Russians
soutlfof Warsaw in the eastern theater of war, and the Germans con
tinue to hold all the ground they have gained in the western theater
of war. The emperor's headquarters have been moved further into
France.
WASHINGTON Ocr. 15. Ita.lv will remain neutral
European war unless by some unforeseen development, she is lorced
to enter, Count Di Celfere, the new Italian ambassador to the United
States declared today. "We have remained strictly neutral thus
far' he said, "and at the time of my departure from Italy there
appeared no reason to believe that we would abandon that policy.''
LONDON, Oct. 15. The Exchange Telegraph Co. today made
public the following as an oincial dispatch from Cettinje:
"Montenegrin troops have completely defeated 15,000 Austrian
in the neighborhood of Sarajevo. The Austrian losses were enor

days of lighting and pursued the enemy in the direction of Wyskow.
Smaller successful skirmishes have taken place in the Visso valley."
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Oct. 15. According to the Scotsman,
a German submarine was sunk by British patrol ships oil the
coast of Holland on Saturday. The newspaper gives this description:
"The British' patrol ships located a German submarine resting on
the coast of Holland Saturday awaiting a supply ship. One of
the patrol vessels smartly evaded the torpedo process and dis
lodged the submarine.
"About 11:30 p. in. the enemy was caught and forced to come
to the surface for the last time. There was an immediate sound ot
gun lire and the submarine went to the bottom."
BERLIN, Oct. 15. (By Wireless to Sayville. N. Y.) Announce
ment made by the German admiralty today of the sinking of the
Russian armored cruiser Pallada states that it occurred at the en
trance to the Gulf of Finland, and that the feat was achieved by
a single submarine.
"The submarine, it is stated, sent only one torpedo against the
Pallada, but this caused an exposion that sent the cruiser, straight
to the bottom with her entire crew of 600 men.
