(Continued from First Page.) te allies means actual participation in the war, while agreement to the re- quest of the central powers implies merely friendly neutrality, expressed in permitting the shipment through Bulgaria of arms and other war sup- plies. for the Turks. Although it has been established rather definitely -that London has no part in the intimation of informal peace discussions, it is plain that official circles are interested keenly in the news of activity in this direction. There are straws in the wind which indicate that what are designated as “proper peace overtures” on the part of Germany would meet with con- sideration. However, the general public, not so well informed as is the government, probably would re- gard such overtures as premature. ‘While diplomats are seeking to en- large the sphere of the war, and while talk of peace is in the air, the great struggle continues along all fronts without interruption. The Russians are fighting desperately along the Dvina, protecting the shortest road to Petrograd- They are developing a counter offensive before Vilna which evidently is designed to threaten Field Marshal Von Hindeburg’s right flank. French artillery is pounding the Ger- man trenches along the western front. Berlin, Sept. 4, By wireless to Say- ville, N. Y.—““Rumors that the French and British have succeeded in break- ing through the German lines at Ar- ras are absolutely untrue,” says the Overseas News Agency. ‘“To the con- trary, the German positions in the west are more secure and favorable than was the case several months ago. It is evident that rumors of this na- ture are being spread by agents aof Germany’s enemies in an attempt to influence public sentiment. Turks Claim Victories. Constantinople, Sept. 4, via London 1:38 p. m.—Turkish victories in minor engagements are reported in an offi- cial statement given out here today. The communication follows: “On our right wing, on Sept. 2, our artillery dispersed an enemy battalion which was being drilled.

I, First Infantry, C. N, G., secured a tie for second place in the state cham- pionship shoot in East Haven with a score of 230, a silver medal going as the trophy. The shoot was one of the most closely contested competitions ever held at the range. In the slow firing on a 600 foot range Captain Ladbury lead all éom- petitors with a record of fourteen hits out of fifteen tries for the bulls- eye. CARPENTERS TO PARADE, .

Tries to See Miss Burger. Charles M. Mohr of New York, one of two children of Dr. Mohr. by a former marriage, made two unsuc- cessful'attempts to see Miss Emily G. Burger, the doctor’s secretary, who is recovering from bullet wounds received at the time her em- ployer was killed. After his last eoffort early today, he remarked to one of the doctors that he did not think there would be any disagreement in the Mohr family ever the disposition of his father’s estate in the absence of a will. He said that he and his stepmother had virtually agreed upon a division of the property, which he timated to be worth $400,000. He ex- pected to receive $80,000 and his sister, Mrs. Ernest Marr of Baltimore, a like amount. The rest of the estate, he said, would probably go to Mrs. Mohr and her two children, BERMUDA IS HIT BY SEVERE GALE Much Property Damaged—Steamship, With 200 American Tourists Aboard, Delayed in Port.
