RUSSIANS TURN I UPONPURSUERS Claim to Have Inflicted Severe Defeat on Teuton 1 r" Host % 80,000 PRISONERS REPORTED TAKEN i f ^ | In West French and British 1 i Keep Hammering Away. i Varied Attack. , \ ) London.?For the first time in many weeks the Russians, according to their own statements, have inflicted a severe defeat of their opponents. The Battle of Tuesday near Tampol, 70 * miles east of Lemberg, and near the Galician frontier, while not conclusive, is regarded Fngland as indicating that the Russians are reaching the stage where they purpose striking back after their long retreat.x The Teutonic forces engaged in this battle included not only Austrians but German forces. The Russians maintain th~* 80,000 prisoners, exclusive of the dead or wounded, measure the extent of their victory, and that it would have been more pronounced but for their inferiority in artillery. The German center is forging forward slowly by virtue of sustained pressure but in the north Field Marshal Von Hindenburg still is unable to force a passage of the Dvina. * Grand Duke Nicholas is on the way to his new quarters in the Caucasus.

It is suggested in some quarters that the shift may be a forerunner to an important Russian diversion on the Tu>4^sh frontier, in connection with ^ the Frhnco-P* itish attempt to force t^. Dardar .lies. By means of air raids, gun fire from the sea and artillery bombardments at many points on the western front the French and British continue to hammer German positions, without launch ing infantry attacks. v ?

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK , LONDON VISITED rv EY ZEPPELINS | Twenty Persons Killed and Eighty-six Injured by Hi Raiders. ' 1 ' ' The raid of Zeppelins last week is described by the Pall Mall Gazette as "Londoners' first glimpse of the war at clost quarters." The Evening Standard speaks of the coolness shown everywhere, but warns the public against the "noticeably j widespread and dangerous disposition) \gard the affair as a. species of spectacle." It suggests that in addition to the Zeppelin, which with in limits "is a terrible instrument of war," there is also danger in anticraft guns. Therefore the public, it says, would be well advised to take aerial visitors more j A seriously. Twenty persons were killed 1 * and 86 others injured in the Zeppelin' raid. ' LANSING CANCELS , PASSPORTS GIVEN Archibold Alleged to Have Acted as Messenger in Trouble. - ! Washington.?Secretary Lansing has cancelled the passports of James F. Archibold, the American correspondent upon whom British secret men found communications from Dr. Constantin Dumba, the AiHtro- Hun- | garian ambassador to his foreign of-; fice on the subject of fomenting strikes in American munition plants. Archibold now is at Rotterdam, and American minister Van Dyke has been instructed to issue an emergency passport to permit his return to the United States, when the department of justice probably will be called on I decide if he has violated any law of the United States in acting as messenger for one of the European belligerents. Cancellation of Archibold's passports is the first official action in a diplomatic situation which it has been suggested might extend so far as to cause the departure of Ambassador Dumba from this country. American government officials were amazed at the disclosures which followed Archibold's detention at Falmouth and were particularly annoyed that an American passport had been used to carry what practically amounts to military information. Dr. Dumba has made his explanations to Secretary Lansing, saying the only instructions from his government were to give widest publicity to the decree announcing enforcement of the Austro-Hungarian penal code against subjects who engaged in manufacture of war munitions for their I country's enemies. He contended he was fully within his rights in warning his countrymen. Yesterday President Wilson conferred with Secretary Lansing and Dr. Dumba departed for his summer embassy at Lenox, Mass., to await news i of this government's decision, which J it is understood will not be reported until more documentary evidence comes from London. | Officials are making preliminary investigations which may decide what ( further action, if any, maybe taken in Archibold's case. NATIONAL DEFENSE IN PREPARATION I I Washington.?The administration's plans for national defense and for enlarging the merchant marine, will be coordinated in the forthcoming session of congress. A striking argument for increasing the number of merchantmen under the Stars and Stripes, Secretary McAdoo said, was that such ships were needed as naval auxiliaries.

New York.?Dr. C. EL Banks, a | Memphis veterinary, who arrived on ;he steamer Lapland from. Liveerpool, mid he was aboard the British steam?r Nicosian when she was shelled by \ German submarine and that he saw y \ British patrol boat approach flying .he Ame ircanglfathtrthartharffrffoi the American flag. The British ensign was hosted in its place before the patrol boat opened fire on the submarine. he said. Confirmation of the London report that the submarine was sunk on Au- * gust 19, yvhile shelling the Nicosian was received from- other sources on ' arrival of the Lapland, but Dr. Banks declined to discuss that phase of the 1 matter. The German submarine was sunk on August 19, the day the Arabic was torpedoed and not far from the scene. This gave rise to the report and belief in Great Britain that the Arabic's assailant had been sent to the bottom. "We were within a few hours run of the Arabic when she was sunk," said Dr. Banks, "and we heard her wirelss call for assistance, the call reaching us at 9:15 a. m., just one hour and five minutes after we had picked up the S. O. S., call from the steamship Dunsley. At 11:15 a. m., we had a similar call from the British steamship Baron Erskine. "At 2:30 p. m.. we sighted a submarine about one mile ahead of us and almost immediately heard a shot, evidently a blank, calling on us to stop. We started a wireless call for help and then the submarine turned loose on us with shrapnel, the second shot tearing away our wireless apparatus. By this time the submarine was within 60 cards of us and she gave our captain 20 minutes to get the crew into the boats. The last boat, in which I took refuge with the captain, was hardly clear of the ship when the submarine opened on the steamer with two guns, fully 20 shells striking the Nicosian. Fortunately only two found a mark below the water line. "The patrol boat which had been coming1 up was then within range and when the British flag was substituted for the American the submarine turned a gun on her and fired several shots. "The British admiralty has placed severe restrictions on all officers and crews of hey ships, consequently I can not discuss anything that happened on the patrol boat on which we took refuge. "The Nicosian did not sink, probably because she had in her hold a car of logs. The patrol boat took her in tow and at 2:30 the following morn ing she was relieved by tugs sent out from Queenstown." ?o MINISTER DUMBA NOT ACCEPTABLE United States Calls For Removal of Austrian Envoy at Once.

In its note to the United States on the sinking of the White Star Liner Arabic, the German government says it "most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander; it particularly expresses this regret to the government of the United States on account of the death of American citizens," anil adds: "The German government, is unable. however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity in the matter oven if the commander should have been mistaken as the aggressive intention of the Arabic." Text of the note follows: Details of the Sinking. "On August 19 a German submarine stopped the English steamer Dunsley about lfi nautical miles south of Kinsale and was on the point of sinking the prize by gunfire after the crew had left the vessel. At this moment the commander saw a large steamer making directly towards him. This steamer as developed later, was the Arabic. She was recognized as an enemy vessel, as she did not fly any flag and bore no neutral markings. "When she approached she altered her original course, but then again pointed directly toward the submarine From this the commander became convinced that the steamer had the intention of attacking and ramming him. "In order to anticipate this attack he gave orders for the submarine to dive and fired a torpedo at the steamA rt-? r:_:_ - ? - - - v-.. rtuci linng ne convinced himself that the people on board were being rescued in 15 boats. "According to his instructions the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic without warning and without saving the lives unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resistance. He was forced, however, to conclude from the attendant circumstances that the Arabic planned a violent attack on the submarine. "This conclusion is all the more obvious as he has been fired upon at a great distance in the Irish sea on August 14, that is, a few days before? by a large passenger steamer, apparently belonging to the British Royal Mail steam Packett Company which he had neither attacked nor stopped. ^ "Most Deeply Regrets." . - J"U "The German government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander. It particularly expresses this regret to the government of the United States 011 account of the death of American citizens. "The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggressive in umuons oi tho Arabic. "If it should prove to ho tho raso that it is impossible for the German And American governments to reiV'h ft harmonious opinion of this point, the German government would bo prepared to submit differences of opinion, as being a question of international law, to The Hague tribunal for arbitration, pursuant to Article 38 of The Hague convention for the pacific settlement of international disputes. "In so doing it assumes that as a matter of course, tho arbitral decision shal 1 not he admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the oormissibility or the converse under international law of German submarine warfare." o "MONEY" Tbf Mint1 ' ' ' ft a 111 v ic and under the terms of the CONTINENTAL MORTGAGE COMPANY you can secure it it (> percent for any legal purpose on ipproved real estate.
