BERNSTORFF DENIES ARY CONPLICITY (Continued from First Page.) taches much importance to President Wilson’s affirmation of the legitimacy of American trade in munitions in his decision regarding Dr. Dumba, ‘“since it forshadows the full use of the presi- dential veto should congress be weak . €rough to pass a bill forbidding the export of war materials.” “Dumba’s dismissal,” it adds, “at any rate will convince Austro-German “Propagandists that there are limifts ‘even to American forbearance and that when those limits are passed retribution is apt to be swift and Pperemptory.” Commenting on what it terms the difficulty of understanding the Ameri- can attitude which results in the first definite step taken being to punish a reach of diplomatic etiquette instead Of exacting reparation for the loss (_)f American lives, the Times says it is willing to believe some . governing principle exists, although it may not be apparent to British observers and that President Wilson, having taken his stand, is not the man to be put off with any false issues. rance Approves. Paris, Sept. 11, 5:50 a. m.—The ¥rench press views with considerable wsatisfaction the action of the United States in calling upon Austria-Hun- gary to remove Dr. Dumba as ambas- sador at Washington. “The die is cast and Washington now is passing from diplomatic con- iroversy to acts,” says the Petit Parisien. ‘“The note is courteous in style but at the same time imperative. ‘Whatever Austria’s response, the en- “Yergetic act will have its effect upon the world.” 3 Alfred Capus says in the Figaro: “Nothing marks better the universal moral discredit to which our enemies have fallen than the note pointing out that Dumba no longer is acceptable. Certainly it is not a declaration of war, but it is a declaration of in- < gompatibility.” Germany’s note on the sinking of the Arabic reached Paris by way of Geneva too late for publication or comment in most of the morning papers. t Taft Supports Administration. Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 11.—"In my Judgment the administration has pursued the only course open to it in the case of Ambassador Dumba’” said Wm. H. Taft, in a statement published here today. (“‘After the ad- mission made he could no longer be persona grata to the American gov- ernment.” The former president delivered two _speeches after his arrival in Tacoma _“Vesterday. In one, in which he pre- dicted ‘a reunited republican party, he said: l.“Only the colonels and captains of the’third (progressive) party are con- tinuing its - ceréemonies " and forms.

On this wing our troops are gradually oc- ,Qupying enemy trenches. “Our coast batteries routed two hostile destroyers which approached the entrance to the narrows and bom- barded our left wing. The same bat- teries successfully bombarded enemy Infantry positions at Seddul Bahr and dispersed a hostile group at the land- Ing place at Morto-Limum.” Germans Lose Many. Paris, Sept. 11, 3 p. m.—The violent fighting in the Argonne on Wednes- day and Thursday was the result of an effort of the army of the German Crown Prince to break through the French lines. The attempt was made with powerful artillery and a large number of troops. It apparently has had no appreciable result. + % The Germans were able to penetrate the French trenches on a portion of the front, but were checked im- ' mediately. They renewed their at- tacks again and again, but with such severe losses that they gave up the effort. This offensive movement, it is said on good authority, has not modified the situation in the Argonne. In making it.the Germans have suffered ~-greater losses, according to the French official figures, than they have _ in- flicted. The army of the Crown Prince has attempted several times in previous months to break through the French front, but so far has scored na defin- l'&uccess. The statement is made hére that this army has lost up- wards of 100,000 men, one corps alone losing 40,000 from the ranks, which are being continually depleted and re- Alled. Fighting in Caucasus.

If a fire should break out this minute in some streets in the north- western section of the city, the fire department might be unable to arrive at the scene without considerable de- lay. This condition was complained of in the office of the board of public works this afternoon by Chief Robert M. Dame of the fire department. Myrtle street is torn up to permit the construction of the trolley extension. Lafayette street, across High and ‘Washington streets, is torn up as a subway is being laid and the street is being paved. It is said that it was proposed to tear up a section of Broad street and it was on this point that Chief Dame protested. Myrtle, La- fayette and Broad streets are the main avenues to that section of the city and with all blocked the fire department might not be able to arrive at fires in times to prevent a serious conflagra- tion because of the numerous old buildings and tenement houses in that district. Chief Dame also suggested that the public works department notify the fire department when streets are to be torn up that the drivers of fire wagons may be informed and different routes may be mapped out. It is said a num- ber of property owners in the north- west have complained of conditions to Chief Dame. WOMAN SWINDLED. Hartford Negress Deprived of $250 She Tells Police.

She drew her savings $250, from a bank today and met the men by appointment. She gave up her money and was told to wait across the street whle they went into a drug storeto make.change.

Sir William has been seriously ill at the Royal Victoria Hospital for more than two weeks. He went there on the recommendation of his doctor, for an operation for abdominal al- scess. Sir William Van Horne was 72 years old. He was born in the Uniteq States. Rose From Foot. Sir Willlam Van Horne rose from the foot of the ladder to wealth and fame as one of the so-called empire builders of Canada. Although he was born in the United States in Wil county, Ill.,, Feb. 3, 1843 and gained rajlway experience through many years connection with railroads in the central and western United States, it was after his moving to Canada and becoming general manager of the Ca-~ nadian Pacific railway in 1882 that he achieved his most notable triumph by pushing the railway to completion across the continent, All the rest of his active life he was one of the heads of the Canadian Pa- cific, being vice president from 1884 to 1883, president from 1888 to 1899, and chairman of the board of direc- tors from 1899 to 1910. Son of a Lawyer. Sir William was the son of Cornel- ius Coven'hoven Van Horne, who was a lawyer at Joliet, Ill. The death of his father left young Van Horne to fight the battle of life when he was only thirteen years of age. It ap- pears he was fascinated from the first with the life of a railway man, for his first job was in the railroad yards. He soon afterward became a telegraph operator for the Illinois Central, and his strides-ahead in var- ious capacities with the Michigan Central Railway and the Chicago and Alton brought him up to his first im- portant executive position as general superintendent of the St. Louis Kansas City and Northern in 1872. Before going to Canada he also served as general manager of the Southern Minnesota railway and general super- intendent of the Chicago and Alton and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. He superinended the extension of the Canadian Pacific to the Western coast, and was present at the driving of the last spike on November 7, 1885. The total mileage which later came under his control was over 3,500. He was said to be the “Hill and Harri- man” of Canada. Master of Finance. Aside from his fame as a railroad builder, Sir William became a master of finance and was often pointed out as one of the score * of men who formed the foundation of Canadian money. He was interested as an offi- cer or director of a large number of corporations in Canada, tae United States and Cuba.’ In the latter place he formed the Cuba Railway com- pany with a capital of $8,000,000. He was knighted by Gueen Victoria in May, 1904 in recognition of his re- markable work in Canada, which in- cluded not only his railway and in- dustrial interest, but semi-public ser- vice as a governor of McGill univer- sity, the Royal Victoria hospital and numerous other institutions, and not- able contribution to the Canadian store of art treasures. Thé latter, which filled his mansion in Montreal included paintings by many of the old masters and collections of Japanese art objects which altogether repre- sent a fortune. During the advocacy in 1911 of reciprocity between the United States and Canada, Mr. Van Horne was con- spicuous as one of those who opposed the idea. One of the illustrations with which he drove home his point was this: “Our trade is $97 per capita; that of the United States is $33. In other words the water in our mill ponds siands at 97, theirs at 33 and they want us to take away the dam.” PURHASE OF COTTON. Lack of Commercial Data Responsible for Delay. . .. ‘Washington, Sept. 11.—Lack of sufficient commercial data is offer- ed by the British government for further delay of the purchase of American cotton detained in Great Britain. The following announcement based on a despatch from Consul General Skinner in London, was made public, today by the state department: “The department of state is informed by the consul general in London that it has been found impossible to con- clude the purchase of certain lots of American cotton, detained in Greatl Britain under what is known as the cotton agreement because of the failure of the claimants to supply the commercial details necessary to the consideration of their consignments.

The movement of stocks was narrow for the most part, war shares, however, showing decided de- clines from yesterday. Uinted States Steel was under pressure, falling a point to 73 3-4, its low figure of the week, and railroad shares were dis- posed to yield a point or thereabouts. The closing was heavy.

FIND STRONG BOX. Bug 'Twas Empty And The Expected Fortune Was Not Discovered. ‘What at first gave promise of be- ing a valuable discovery was made this morning when a strong box was found in the rear of Horace Booth's residence on High street. The box is one similar to those in which for- tune’s are hidden away and visions of great riches probably flashed through the mind of the finder. The police were notified and it was learned that the box was one which was recently stolen from John Blake's house at the corner of Lake and High streets. The thief had broken open the box with a stone and had removed the contents so that it was empty when discovered today. The story of the find was quickly noised about the city and from sev- eral sources came the startling in- formation that a box of treasure, buried many years ago, had been dug up. TALMUD FUNERAL.
