The Germans in counter-attacks twice have endeavored to retrieve lost ground cn the heights of the Meuse, but eacs time met with repulse and heavy losses. Aside from artillery duels which have been especially severe east of Ypres and in the neighboriiood of Lom- baertzyde, there has been little activ- ity on that part of the line in France and Belgiuln held by the British. Field Marshal Haig’s men, however, have carried out several small trench raid- ing enterprises with success and re- pulsed German counter-attacks. Evidently the German advance tow- ard Riga, Russfa’s big port and naval base on ‘the Baitic, has ceased, for neither the German nor Russian offi- clal communications mention the op- erations in_ this region. To the south, however, the Russian ard Russo- Rumaniin armles, respectively, around Viadimir-Volynski, and in the Ru- manian_theatre, are keeping up their strong resistance against the Germans and the Austrians and Germans. Near Vladimir-Volynski German at- tacks have been repulsed, while on the Rumaniar. front attempts by the Teu- toni callies to advance again have been frustrated. - An interesting report of the German chancellor’s recent visit to grand head- quarters, where he received permission to form a substitute committee of the reichstas main committee to confer with the government on peace and foreign affairs, is that the chancellor also was given the power to transform Alsace-Lorraine into an independent federal state.

Boston, Aug. 26—Charges that em- I ployers of labor are “breaking down the standards of American wages and living” and that uprising of laboring men and women is likely if the sif uation is not changed, were made b: Edward F. McGrady, president of the Boston Central Labor Union, in an address o a local union toda; “Under guise of patriotism larze employers ~and manufacturers,” he said. “are doing many things that prevent both the workers and the gov ernment from getting a square deal. Everything under the sun is being tried by some of these supposed pa- triots fo break down the standard of wages and living conditions of the American workingmen and women and now: that their patriotic bluff is being called they are attempting to beat us by importing workers to take our places. “The principal offender In this re- spect is the American Woolen com- {uany, the officials of which I am re- liably informed have arranged for the bringing of six hundred girls and wo- men from Porto Rico to work in the mills at Lawrence who will be placed side by side with American girls to learn their way of working and later take their places at the looms. This information has passed among the workers in that eity and manv meet- ing of the mill men and women have been held in secret to discuss the sit- uation.” AWAITING DEATH IN H SOUTH AMERICAN JUNGLE Two Scientists and Explorers for the Carnegie Institute.

The missiles fell just fi~ side the frontier near Cadsand, in Zee- land, but did no damage. AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND SAILORS IN LONDON Threnged Picadilly District and Dined at the Best Hotels. London, Aug. 26.—London was over- run today with American soldiers and sailors. All the downtown streets in the city, especially in the Piccadilly district, were thronged with soldiers, some walking, some in taxis. ery- where the Americans mixed with the Tommies, Australians, Canadians and Scotchmen, in _kilts, and all agreed that London is fine. In some places the Britons were ini- tiated into the game of craps and, as usual, the beginners won. Craps seems to have captivated London. The Americans, who had not been at lib- erty since their departure from the Jnited States, were lionized. At some corners women were standing, hand- ing roses to the soldiers, who pinned them on their hats. One thing noted was the especially warm personal welcome extended to the men. Furloughed Belgians, ¥renchmen or other soldiers of the al- lies travel through’ the city In groups by themselves. Every American group was piloted by at least one and some times half a dozen Britons. All the landmarks were pointed out and in many instances mixed groups walk- ed through the streets with arms lock- ed. The American soldiers in London today, having just been paid, had pocket full of money, which they were anxious to spend. They dined at the best hotels, some of them oc- cupying tables adjoining those at which_their officers were seated The only difficulty which they experienced with English money had to do with the value of the coins, to which they are as yet unaccustomed. TWO ENEMY ALIENS IN HARTFORD JAIL They Were Found in a Restricted Zone —Will be Held During War. Hartford, Conn., Aug. 26.—Two ene- my aliens arrested here for breaking the law governing the movements of such persons are nmow in the Hart- ford county jail, where they will stay during the war. They are Paul Korf- mann, an insurance agent, and Otto Makowski, a factory employe. They were taken in charge Saturday night by C. H. Lane. a special United States agent and Superintendent of State Police Thomas J. Ezan. Both men were found in a restricted zome. Korfmann in March, 1915, walked out of Canada Into this country, breaking his British parole under which he was to report to the police weekly. This was known in Hartford but he was allowed his freedom with- in the limits prescribed under war regulations until he was noticed vio- lating his_permit. Makowski had recently asked for an extension of privileze to visit re- stricted districts. This was refused but he went to barred zones neverthe- less. The warrant for the arrests came through Assistant United States At- torney John Begley. The arrests be- ing_under presidential warrants, are said to automatically bring about the detentior: of the men in jail until the war ends. BELGIUM PROTESTS TO ALLIED AND NEUTRAL GOVERNMENTS Against German Violations of Interna- tional and Moral Law. Havre, Aug. 26.—The Belgian gov- ernment has addressed a long and ear- nest protest to allied and reutral go ernments against German violations of international and moral law in redis tricting of Belgium so that it will have two governments and two capitals in- stead of one and in deporting or ar- resting Belgian officials who resigned their positions rather than continue in office under the new regime. ‘The protest begins by the citation of article 43 of the fourth Hague con- vention, according to which an occu- Ppying power must, insofar as it is pos- sible, govern cccupied territory in con- formity with the territory’s own law. The protest then points ou‘ that this clause was violated by the Germans March ©1, 1917, by a decree creating two administrative regions with capi- tals at Brussels and Namur, and by decrees of April 13 and June 9 and 10 confirming the execution of the March pronunciamento. These decrees, says the protest, completely overturn Bel- gian law and gravely attack the Bel- gian coretitution, which divides Bel- gium into provinces and places the capital at Brussels. TRIAL OF FORMER RUSSIAN WAR MINISTER. General Soukhomlinoff Charged With Being an Accomplice. Petrograd, Aug. 26.—General Yanu- shevich, 1ormerly chief of general staff, testifying at the trial for high treason of General Soukhomlinoff, the former minister of war, and the minister'’s wife, charged with being an accom- plice, drew a graphic description of the terrible position of the Russian army when it suddenly found itself almost completely without shells or rifles. Urgent Gemands by the hundreds, he said, were sent to Soulhomlinoff ‘and nothing was done. Russian eoldiers periched in masses. Knowing that the Russians _were without ammunition, the Germans frequently brought up guns_close to the Russian positions and bombarded at close range, work- ing_terrible havoc. Testify:ng in answer to_ this, Souk- homlinoff said that while Germany had been preparing for war for 40 vears, Russia had done virtually nothing in that time to meet euch an eventuality.

MacMillan Arctic Party at _Sydney AFTER FOUR YEARS SPENT THE POLAR REGIONS IS NO CROCKER LAND Peary’s Mistake Due to a Mirage So Real That the MacMillan Men Had Been Deceived By It for Four Days. Sydney, S. Aug. 26.—Donold B. MacMillan’s Arctic expioration expe- dition arrived here tonight o the re- lief steamer Neptune after four years spent in the Polar regions. No Crocker Land. MacMillan, who was one of Rear Admiral Perry's lisutenants on _his successful dash for the North Pole, confirmed previous despatches from him that_there was no Crocker Land, such as had been reported by Peary. Peary’s mistake was due to a mirage so real that the MacMillan party had been deceived by it for four days, he said. The first objective of the MacMil- lan expedition, which was organized under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History and the American Geographical Society, with the co-operotion of the University of Tlinois, was to prove or disprove the existence of Peary’s Crocker Land. The next purpose of the expedition was to conduct a survey of the Green- land ice cap. While MacMillan did not deny that he had made some dis- coveries he was reticent concerning them, saying he was under orders to report to the museum of natural his- tory in New York. He plans to leove Tuesday for his home in _Freeport, Maine, and thence to New York. “We had good luck,” Mac)illan said. “Provisions were plentiful and there was plenty of game and eges to be se- cured, but I am glad Bortlett (in com- N. mand of the refief expedition) came alonz. We were getting pretty low and might not have lasted another winter.” Touching on Crocker Land, Mac- Millan said Deceived By a Mirage. “Peary was deceived by a mirage. due to layers of air at different dens| ties suspended above the ice. Peary saw this supposed land from a cliff 1400 feet high. We mounted the same Cliff and four days were deceived. Finally when the sun shifted it was no longer there. It was but a mirage, but so clear that you could see green hills covered with vegetation rising high above the witer. It was sup- posed to be 120 miles northwest from Cape Thomas Hubbard but we sailed 150 miles northwest. passing over the supposed Crocker Land. - It was a wonderful image. ceived the whole party and Small (Jonathan C. Small) mechanic and general aide) insisted for a long time that Crocker Land was somewhere near, but finally we had to admit that Peary was mistaken. Don't think. however, that Peary was faking. It would deceive any man, no matter who he was.” Without Loss of a Man. The expedition was carried thro; without the loss of a man and d It de- disaster at the very start. The ex- plorers left North Sydney in July, 1913 on the steamer Diana but wes wrecked on Borges Point. on the Labrador coast. Nothing daunted. the N. F. explorers returned to St. John's, and were transferred to the steamer Enic, which landed the party at their base, Btah. on August 20. Hardships, But No Sickness. “We had some hardships. of course, due to_the cold, but we had no sick- ness whatever ” said MacMillan. “The only thing that saved us from scurvy was our fresh meat supply. The men got fresh meat until near the last, when Small and I lived on dog bis- cuits and duck eggs. I tell Bartlett was_welcomed by us. Bob arrived Small and 1 were the only two members of the expedition at Btah. We were living with Eskimos and had planned to stay all winter with them. but a taste of real bread was certainly welcome after eating dog biscuit for two or three months. Knew Nothing About the War. “Eskimes had brought us word that the war was on but we knew practi- cally nothing about it until Bartlett arrived with papers.” The rellef of MacMillan and Small by Coptain Robert Bartlett in the seal- ing steamer Neptune enhances the reputation Bartlett has earned as a foremost Arctic navigator. MACMILLAN RELIEF PARTY HAD NARROW ESCAPES tance of 1,100 Miles. New York, Aug. 26.—Dr. EAmund O. Hovey, of the American Museum of Natural History, who headed a party sent_to the relief of the Donald B. MaecMillan Crocker TLand expedition in 1915, reached here today from Cpeno hagen. Dr. Hovey sald he arrived at Copen- hagen from Godhaven, a por: on Dis- co Tsland_ off the southerly coast of Greenland. July 10, havirg taken passage from Godhaven on the steam- ship Hars Edge. To reach Godhav- en from Etah, on the northwesterly const of Greenland, where he estab- lished his headquarters when his ship was cyhizht in the ice, he traveled over the frozen surface of the sea a dis- tance of approximately 1,100 mil the trip belng made with lce sledges and requiring 66 davs. The trip was at- tended with good weather, but he with his party of Eskimos had narrow es- capes owing to patches of thin ice. Numerous areas of “black” ice which was o thin that the water could be seen through it were encountered. Dr. Hovey sald, and often they could feel it bend beneath their weight. On two occasfons they did break through, but the quick action of the Eskimo driv- ers and the strength and alertness of the dogs saved thelr lives. On arrival at Godhaven, Dr. Hovey recelved the first newspapers he had seen in over a_year and h- learned then that the United States was at war with Germany. He said he left Etah, March 24, and arrived at God- haven, May 29.
