PRICE THREE CENTS. s A \ RI i NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1915_TWELVE " DECISIVE BATILE - EXPECTED AT VILWA « . To Decide Ownership of Railroad Lines of Region * RUSSIANS CHECK IN GALICIA | ‘War News Contains Little Mention of Fighting in France Looking to Eastern Line for Developments ‘Which Will Make History. It was announced in London that Premier Asquith would ask the ho. of commons to vote a credit of $1,- 250,000. Copenhagen reports the blowing up by a German submarine of the motoy schooner Norte, owned in Christiania, Norway. The crew was saved. Count Von Reventlow, the German naval writer, declares in the Berlin Tages Zeitung that the Zeppelin at- tacks on London are legal and of & military character, as London is % fortress. He argues that the Brit- - ish government has been remiss in © not ordering the evacuation of the city. The attacks are aimed at the destruction of property serving mili- tary purposes, he asserts. Developments in the vicinity of Vilna lead foreign military. observers to expect a decisive battle there soon to determine whether the strategic % railroad lines of the region shall be controlled by the Germans or the . Russians. a Russian Counter Check. London, Sept. 15, 11:47 a. m.— ‘While Field Marshal von Hinden- burg’s cavalry is astride the Petro- «grad Railroad and the Germans have , made large captures of prisoners and guns in Courland, the Russians are again countering these efforts not only by checking the attempt of the Austrians to resume the offensive in Galicia but by inflicting another re- verse on the Austro-German forces in the same vicinity. Svientsiany, where the German cavalry cut the railroad, is half way % between Vilna and Divinsk and about 400 miles from Petrograd. The Rus- gians assert that tiris raid by the Ger- mans has formed a dangerous salient in their line, of which their opponents are likely to take advantage. It is clear, whatever strategic move may be involved in this advance, that re- cent events indicate the near ap- proach of the important engagement in the Vilna region which was pre- dicted a fortnight ago by General Polivanoff, the minister of war. Further along the line, the Ger- man armies operatiing on both banks of the Niemen have not yet formed a junction and Russian rear guards gre still withdrawing eastward. Russian military writers are warn- ing the people not to expect too great developments from the Galician of- fensive movement. . Discussion in the house of commons today is to be turned from the ab- sorbing topic of conscription to the voting of another huge war credit. € Fighting With Grenades. Paris, Sept. 15, “2:35 p. m.—The French war office this afternoon gave out a statement on the progress of hostilities, which reads as follows: i “In the Artois district, in the sec- tars of Neuville and Bretoncourt there has been fighting with hand gren- ades accompanied by some artillery exchanges. Yesterday saw also en- 75 gagements with bombs in the vicin- ' ity of Lisons, to the west of Chaul- | nes, and in the Forest of St. Mard to the east of Tracy-Le-Val “There also has been fairly spirit- ed cannonading to the narth of the Camp De Chalons, and fighting with mines is taking place in the western part of the Argonne. “The night passed without incident on the remainder of the front.” o DAMON GETS CONTRACT, Flm Street Subway Will Be Built by City Laborers. L. Damon company was awarded the contract to furnish material for the Elm street subway at a special meeting of the board of public works this noon. Ag the esti- mated cost with city labor was little more than two bids submitted by private contractors it was voted to do the work by city ‘workers. “The successful bid for material by the Damon company was as follows: 75,000 feet of vitrified duct, .0465c. per lineal foot; 50,000 plastic wrap- pers, $12.50 per 1,000; three-inch wrought iron laterals, 27 1-2¢ per foot; three inch curved laterals, 40c per foot; 14,000 feet Kyanized spruce, $37 per 1,000 feet.

Sheldon Ob- serve Anniversary of Their Marriage ‘With Many Friends. Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Sheldon, well known residents of this city, where Mr. Sheldon has been superin- tendent of the Erwin Home for many vears, celebrated the golden jubilee of their marriage with their friends at the home last evening. About fifty acquaintances joined with the couple and during the evening the hosts were presented with a purse of gold and with china and cut glass. Fifty years ago yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon were married at Ash- _iord, Conn., by the late Rev. Thomas Dutton, pastor of the Congregational church there.

Laredo, Sept 15.—Mexicans hidden in the bush on the Mexican side last night fired about fifty shots\into the the little town of Simon, twenty miles up the river from Laredo,” and resi- dents deserted the town. Workmen at irrigation pumping plants fled and a hurry call was sent for iroops. Cavalry from Dolores was rushed to the scene, but no further shots were fired. All cavalry stationed at Fort McIntosh was ordered out to patrol the border in every direction today. San Behito, Tex., Sept. 15.—Heavy cavalry ard infantry patrols, which were rushed to this city during last night kept off a threatened attack by Mexican bandits. Evidence of a plot to terrorizeé the city was strength- ened by reports to.army patrols dur- ing the .night of activities of Mexi- cans outside of the town. Just before dawn, the time which the commanding officers here suspect- ed was chosen for the attack, infan- try details were sent out along the roads for some distance from town. No belligerent Mexicans appeared. Mexicans here have told citizens about an organization of revolutionists which planned to make a demonstra- tion at some other place to draw 1roops away from San Benito and then fire into the town. For that reason San Benito will be closely guarded for several days. Army patrols here or in the immediate neighborhood num- ber three companies of infantry and .two troops of cavalry. Threats also have been made against the town of Merceles, about 20 miles from here. A few days ago a number of strange Mexicans were noticed here. At the same time several trusted Mexican household servants advised their em- ployers to leave because they had heard that the bandits were going to attack. San Benito citizens yesterday asked Col. Robert L. Bullard at Harlingen, for more troops. Ranchers « armed with rifles began coming into town from nearby farms, bringing their fam- ilies in automobiles. They said they were mnneasy about the approach of Mexican Independence Day. Septem- ber ~6, the celebration of which be- gins today. They said Mexicans in the country were ‘“Talking bad.” Colonel Bullard sent here in re- sponse to San Benito’s call infantry and cavilry and Col. A. P. Blocksom at Brownsville ordered out a troop train to bring more infantry, AMERICANS WARNED, Announcement Has No Bearing on Mexican Political Situation. ‘Washington, Sept. 15.—Regarding official advices to Americans to re- main out of Mexico, the state depart- ment today made the following an- nouncement; “Owing to disturbed conditions prevuiling along the Mex- ican border, the state department repeats the advice heretofore given to American citizens to remain on this side of the international line for the present.” Officials reiteiated denials that the announcement had any bearing on the Mexican political situation.” HOT HEADED GERMAN. Berlin, Sept. 15, (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.)—The Overseas News Agency sa “German newspapers which ar ed recently in the United States contained pamphlets advising the destruction of American muni- tions factories. Such a practice is designated officially as stupid and dangerous. Evidently this was the work of misguided and hot headed private citizens, who attempted to conduct an agitation in this manner. No newspaper office was responsible.” REMOVE RED CROSS Petrograd, Sept. 15, via London, 1:06 p. m.—The American Red Cross unit which has been stationed .at 1 Kiev, has been removed to Makarov. THREATEN T0 KILL ALLIED FINANCIERS Pro-German Influences Work Aganist Loan o Allies . MAY FLOAT COUNTER LOAN Members of Anglo-French Financial Commission Re-double Bodyguards to Prevent Violence—Keep to Strict Secrecy. New York, Sept. 15.—The pro- German campaign against the flota- tion of a billion dollar credit loan in the United States to Great Britain and France appeared today to assume the proportions of a country-wide demon- stration, even, it is alleged, threaten- ing the personal safety of the six members of the Anglo-French finan- cial commission. Members of this commission, of ich Lord Reading, Lord Chief Jus- e of Emgland, is chairman, have Goubled their bodyguards, it became kown today. They have been re- quested by the police of New York not to advance their plans for any day and in no instance appear on the streets without détectives guarding them. Threatening Letters Received. More than fifty threatening letters have been received by the commis- sion. The contents of these epistles run the scale from abuse to threats of death. Some of the most threatening of these letters have been turned over to the police for investigation, it is said, and New York city detectives are now reported to be engaged in seeking the writers. Largely upon advice of the police, the commissioners do not visit the financial section in a body or even in couples. Each commissioner travels through the streets of New York un- accompanied by any other commis- sioner. At least on detective is at the heels of each commissioner on his trips about the city, and in some cases, it is said, there are several. Whether this active opposition is sporadic in its nature or is organized is not known. Bankers and other callers at the headquarters of the commission have expressed the view, gleaned from their talks with the commissioners, that in the opinion of the latter it is of an organized na- nature. Other opposition to the flotation of the hig loan has taken the form, ac- cording to word received by the com- mission today, of widespread threats by pro-German depositors that par- ticipation by the banks in which they | have their funds would be followed by withdrawals. In the case of savings banks the commission board, organized with- drawals of funds approaching the magnitude of runs on the banks were contemplated, ! Country-wide Campaign. The Anglo-French financial com- mission heard today that German agents alarmed st momentum gained in past few days by movement to lend Great Britain and France a bil- lion dollars to be spent for supplies here had instituted a country-wide campaign against the flotation of the proposed credit loan. According to information which came to the commissioners’ attention, the German attack on the proposed loan included not only the negative stand in refusing to participate, which the agitators hope will be taken by bunks with large lists of German- ‘American depositors, but embraced heavy withdrawals from banks par- ticipating in the loan, as an expres- sion of the displeasure of pro- German depositors. Similar Loan for Germany. Another method which was re- ported to be in favor with those opposing the flotation of the loan was the proposal to float a similar loan for Germany. The amount of the proposed German loan commis- sion heard, was to be half a billion dollars. It was designed, according to their information, not to place that sum at the disposal of the German Empire here, for Germany, unable to | import American products, could not ! spend it, but purely as an embar- | rassment to the Anglo-French com- mission. If half a bjllion dollars of American money were tied up in this loan, the proponents of the plan were understood to believe, it would make lit extremely difficult—almost im- possible—for Great Britain and France to succeed in their quest for 2 billion dollars in these money mar- kets. Less Drastic Method. A less drastic method of attack, it was reported to the commission, was the apparent intention of the pro- German element to induce by persua- sion in his veins to oppose the par- ticipation of his bank in the flotation of the loan. The movement, from what the com- , mission heard, had its origin in the east and its greatest activity in the middle west, especially in the large cities where the pro-German element it numerically strong. Although nat 80 manifest here in New York as elsewhere it was said, the plan is by no means inactive in this city. This was evidenced according to reliab]el reports, by a flood of protests made by German sympathizers to some of the largest banks here, voicing in terms so alike that their inspiration (Continued on Tenth Page.) MISS McMILLAN TO WED M. JOHNSON Engagement of Popular Couple An- nounced at Home of Bride- Elect. News of an e¢ngagement that is of interest to the younger set of this city became public property this af- ternoon when, at a luncheon, given to her girl friends, Miss Helen Mc- Millan, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dugald McMillan announced | her engagement o Maurice H: John- son of New Britain. The announce- ment came as a complete surprise to the assembled guests Who were | under the impression that they had been invited to pay parting regards to one of their number who is (o attend school in the south.

The luncheon followed the breaking of the news. The couple have not set a date for the wedding. ! Miss McMillan is most popular with a large circle of friends: She | graduated from the New Britain High | school in 1912 and from Dana Hall | a year later. Since that time she has been almost continuously in New Britain. Mr. Johnson graduated from the High school in 1911. He was quar- terback on teams which succeeded in winning championships for the lccal school and had a corresponding degree of popularity before and since. He is employed at the Stanley Rule & Level Co., where he is a valuabie member of the office force: OFFICIALS AWAITING PROOFS ON HESPERIAN [ Insufficient Evidence to Judge Cause—No Word from Vienna. Washington, Sept. 15.—State de- partment cfficials, comenting today on the disclaimer of the Berlin gov- ernment that the Canadian liner Hes- perian was torpedoed, said that in- sufficient evidence had been received ipon which to base represtntations to Germany at this time. From the | facts at hand, it was said, no opinion | could be formed as to whether the | Hesperian was torpedoed or struck a | mine. | Official reports have made no ref- | erence to statements of passengers on the liner that large pieces of metal | were found on the decks of the vessel | which might furnish evidence to de- termine whether the ship was the | victim of a mine or a torpedo. If it should’ be determined that the Hes- perian struck a mine, officials say there would be no means of fixing | responsibility for placing the mine. Diplomatic negotiaions in the Ara- bic case were in apparent lull today and Count Von Bernstorff, the Ger- man ambassador had returned to the summer embassy at Cedarhurst, L. I. No word has come from Ambassa- dor Penfield at Vienna in regard to the case of Ambassador Dumba. The fact that only one letter mentioned in the list of communications trans- mitted to the state Qepartment by | Ambassador Page at London as hav- | ing been found on Correspondent James F. J. Archibald, is in posses- sion of the state department, officials | explained by the delay in the trans- | mission of mail. It is expected that within a day or two the remainder | of the letters will reach here. HEARING ON “DINKYS.” I Senator Klett’'s Bill Comes Before Public Utilities Commission. Mayor George A.

Klett to force the railroad to run their locomotives “bead-first.” Senator Klett claimed that many accidents were due to the fact that the locomotives are run backward on the ‘“‘dinkys” and he asked that the 1ailroad be prevented from continu- ing the practice.

PREMIER ASQUITH MOVES BIG LOAN Total of British Money Spent Reaches $6,810,000,000 C0ST OF WAR ENORMOUS Parliament Session Hears Review of Conditions in England—Gross Ex- penditure Hereafter Will'Be Smaller —Need Labor on Munitions. London, Sept. 15, 3:26 p. m.—The seventh vote of credit since the out- break of the war, bringing up the | total to 1,262,000,000 pounds ($6,310,- 000,000), was moved in the house of commons this afternoon by Premier Asquith. The amount asked for today was 250,000,000 pounds. The premier also announced that nearly three million men had enlisted. He made this statement in reviewing the financial and military situations. The growing expenditures for the war were emphasized by the premier. He said the average daily cost from April 1 to the end of June was 2,700,- 000 pounds; from July 1 to 17, 3,000,- 000 pounds; from July 18 to Septem- ber. 11, 3,500,000 pounds. Thus the total for this period in round figures { 18 500,000,000 pounds. There has been repaid 50,000,000 pounds to the Bank of England, 380,000,000 pounds has been lent to foreign governments and 28,000,000 pounds lent to the Do- minions. Abnormal Items. Comparing actual expenditures since the last vote of credit with esti- mates, Mr. Asquith said there had been some abnormal items, to dis- close which would not be in the pub- lic interest, but the house might take it that thaese were expenditures in- curred for the purpose of financing necessary operations. Part of this amount was to be repa:d in the course of o few months, and the remainder represented advances for future ex- penditures. Mr- Asquith estimated that the weekly gross expenditures henceforth would not exceed 35,000,000 pounds- It was his op‘nion that the new vote would carry the country through to the third week of November- “These figures throw some light, in many terms, on the contribution we are making to the war’’ he continued “I do not wicth to say even that we are doing all we can, all we ought; but with the most mischievous effect— to belittle and discourage our efforts, I give some/ comparisons between peace and war figures, Three Millions Enlisted. “Since the outbreak of the war, it will be found, an aggregate of not far short of three millions have enlisted in the army and navy. Recruiting, on the whole, has kept up well, but I regret to say, in the last few weeks has been fal'ing off.” Regarding the work of the muni- tions departr.ent, the premier said all that was now necessary to complete this great and necessary task was an adequate supply of lapor, unskilled quite as much as skilled. There was no field wherein woman could do more useful work. The minister of munitions hug established twenty-two shell factories and eighteen more are in course of construction. In all, 715 controlled establishments were under the department. In these factories, he said 800000 workmen were now emploved and the country had vastly exceeled any standard dreamed of before the war. Military Situation, Reviewing the military situation, Mr. Asquith stated that in France and Flanders the position of the Brit- ish wroops hcd been strengthened everywhere by large reinforcements of men and munitions and that there had been a considerable extension of lines taken over from the French. In the Dardznelles, he continued, the British had made substantial gains, though they had not succzed- ed in dislodging the Turks from the crest of the hillss The British now hold a front of niore than 12 miles In the east, Mr. Asquith said, the Russian army remains unbroken. He asserted that the superiority of the Germans was only in artillery and that their objective was still far out of reach. “They succeeded in forcing back the line of our gallant ally and tak- ing several fortresses,” he continued, “but all accounts show that the Rus sian retreat is being conducted in masterly fashion and that the Ru: til! unbroken. The as sumption of supreme command by the Czar is the most significant proof | that could be given of the unalter- able determination, from highest to lowest of the Russian people.” Have Made Loans. Mr. Asquith said the total of Great Britain’s loans to other belligerents was ),000,000 pounds. He referred tc the high totai of casualties and said the proportion of those who recovered from wounds was large. “This is a war of mechanism, or- ganization, endurance,” he continued. | “Victory seems likely to incline to the side that can arm itself best and stay longest. That is what we mean to do.” The premier deprecated all rerrim- ination. “Our busines: is to deal with the Thursday.

A represdentative of the Italian gov- ernment is expected to visit this city Friday to inspect aeroplanes owned by Nels Nelson and Richard Nygren. It is said the Italian government is buying up all the aeroplanes i§ can find and the local aviators expect to make a sale. One of the machines is now under construction by Nelson and it will probably be ready for its initial flight Saturday. It is of the headless bi- plane type and is equipped with an eighty horse power Curtiss engine. The engine was used by Frank Car- roll, the aviator, who met his death in a fall in Maryland not long ago. Ny- gren’s machine is the one in which he met with a mishap last week when his engine went dead and he was forced to make a landing on unfavorable ground. Nelson announced some time ago that hé had retired from the aviation game, but the call of the clouds has been ringing in his ears since and he has decided to return to flying. “BLIND” MAN IS NOT SIGHTLESS AT ALL Arrest of Woman Companion Causes Expose of Two Imposters. By the arrest of Mrs. Rose Welch of New York on Church street last night the police unearthed a descip- able scheme for imposing upon the public and fleecing thase who are gen- erously inclined. By Mrs. Welch's arrest it was learned that her hus- band, whom she had been leading around as a blind man all day, was not blind at all but was simply wear- ing black glasses and posing as a sightless person to excite sympathy and induce the public to part with their money. Last evening Officer Strolls was notified to look out far a drunken woman who was accosting people on Church street. He met Mrs. Welch and told her to go to her room. S8he disappeared but a little later reap- peared in the street, dressed some- what differently. She was drunk and was arrested. In court this morning she admitted having had a few drinks but told Judge Kirkham that she was “not drunk, but was heart-broken.” Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth said he saw Mrs. Welch lead- ing a man about the streets yester- day trying to sell court plaster and pencils. The man was fixed up as a blind man and acted his part so well that he did not accost him. How- ever, he declared that the erstwhile blind man rushed into police head- quarters this morning, bright eyed and healthy. He wanted to inter- cede for his wife. As soon as the matter of masquerading as blind was put up to him the man edged to- ward the door and suddenly disap- peared up Commercial street. All thought of interceding for the woman fled from his mind. Mrs. Welgh became badly confused in telling her story. She at first said her husband was masquerading as a blind ‘man, then denied it and said he was only crippled. She said they came here from New York yes- terday to go to the fair. Then she said they were en route to Pravidence, but before Prosecutor Klett was through cross examining her she ad- mitted that she and her husband had tricked the patrons of the Charter Oak | fair all last week with their pathetic impersonation of a poor blind hus- band and his helping wife. The woman was fined $10 and casts. The prosecuting authorities say that this case is one of the most bare- faced attempts to impose on the pub- lic that has been brought to notice in a long time.
