MUSH RETAKEN BY RUSS ARMY, IT 1§ REPORTED Many Prisoners Oaptured When Oity Recently Seized by Turks Falls Into Slavs’ Hands. FRENCH TROOPS WINNING Gallic Forces Complete Ocou- pation of Maurepas and Advance Line. ! 'BULGARS MOVING AHEAD Petrograd, Aug. 24.—(Via London.) —Russian forces operating in south- ern Turkish Aremnia have-re-occu- pied Mush, captured by the Turks on August 8, says an official communi- cation issued by the war department tonight. The statement adds the Rus- sians captured 2,300 prisoners. Paris, Aug. 24.—French troops to- day completed the occupation of Maurepas and carried their line 200 meters beyond the town on a front| of two kilometers, according to to- night's communication\. BULLETIN. Sofia, Aug. 24.—(Via London, 6:30 p. m.)—Bulgarian troops advancing on the western end of the Macedonian front defeated the Serbians and com- pelled them to retreat, the war office reported today. Berlin, Aug. 24.—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—“The prevailing opinion in political circles in Berlin regarding the operation against Qeneral Sar- rail’s forces in Macedonia,” says the semi-official Overseas News agency today, “may be condensed into the statement that the movement is an ‘offensive defense.’” “As a matter of fact,” adds the news agency, “General Sarrail's army has been shelling for months Bulgarian villages and lands where Bulgarian crops were growing and the only means to bring about a change was to drive this army from its position. MISS PINKERTON WINNER OF TROT 1Misssuri Mare Captures Last | ' Two Heats in Great Western Classic. LOWERS FAVORITE OOLORS BY RUSSELL PHELPS. Miss Pinkerton, a fast, but not way- some traveling lady. She demonstrated the fact in a con- vincing manner by getting a strangle hold on the victor's wreath in the classic race in Thursday’s Great Western Circuit card at the Omaha speedway—the 2:17 trot, Ak-Sar-Ben purse of $2,000. Heralded as the prime favorite on the night before the race, but usurped as the apple of the dopesters’ eyes by the Oklahoma mare, Alice Arion, shortly before the initial heat, Miss Pinkerton plucked victory from chaos when she showed a wonderful return of form and romped away with the last two heats after allowing three other trotters to proceed her to the wire in the first one. Alice Arion the Favorite. It was all Alice Arion when the field got the call for the day's big purse race—a race in which eight star trotters were to be turned to battle for the largest prize ever hung up in Nebraska, with' the exception of a pacing number, Wednesday, when a like sum was offered. Besides the offspring of Arion, and Miss Pinkerton, three other muchly feared trotters—California B., Great Northern and Wildwood Boy— donned colors and started scorin, with any number of well-posted turf- men favoring one of them to arrive home a winner. . His lines wrapped in a confident way, one Earl Beezley, a daring reins- man, feared by the best of harness pilots, urged California_ B. out in front; it appeared for a time that the Nebraska gelding was destined to trot a spectacular mile to a win, but the animal went up and was soon hopelessly out of it. Mare Wins First Heat. Alice Arion's driver, with the skill of the old campaigner, got his hope- ful out in the major domo’s zone and the hdat was over in 2:12%4, )vllh the California trotter, Great Northern, Therefore, the present operation is directed not against the sovereignty and territorial rights of Greece, but rather to defend them against Gen- eral Sarrail, who was continually vio- lating territorial rights by making Greek soil a base for military opera- tions.” The_Struma river follows an ir- regular course through northeasterfi Greece, cutting across the open coun- try along the northern shore of the Acgean sea. Bulgarian forces ap- peared in this region last week and took up defensive positions along the river. They met with no opposition from the entente forces, as this region is some distance east of the old bat- tle line. Several Greek forts were occupied and the Bulgarians threw up entrenchments. The importance of this line lies in the fact that it shuts off the allies from the easiest route into Bulgaria. Danish Landsthing Holds Up Proposal to Sell West Indies Copenhagen, Aug. 24.—(Via Lon- don.)—The Landsthing sat _in com- mittee this afternoon and adopted a resolution that if the sale of the Dan- ish West Indies cannot be postponed until after the war, the question shall be settled by general elections. The resolution was adopted, 39 to 7. Three members refrained from voting and thirteen were absent. This resolution will be submitted formally to the Landsthing tomorrow at an open meeting. King Christian received the leaders of the various parties today and thanked them for the offer to form a coalition cabinet, although he said he regretted he had been unable to do so. Londop, Aug. 24.—The Danish Landsthing has rejected the proposal to sell the Danish West Indies to the United States, says a Reuter dispatch from Copenhagen. r_’fhe Weagher For Nebraska—Fair; change in temperature.

An Towa starter, Sir McKerron, led Miss Pinkerton in the brush for third place in the heat. i The field figured in a royal fight right at the jump-off of the second heat, Great Northern breaking, how- ever, about the same time that Miss Pinkerton showed her known speed ‘and trotted out of the ranks into the van of the bunch. Trotting like a well-rggulated grandfather’s clock,” Miss -Pinkerton made it too tough for the rest of them, winning the heat in 2:14. Fracas on Lower Turn. A merry row broke on the lower turn in t}{e second heat when John McQuaig, Alice Arion’s pilot, and Reinsman Ward of Great Northern got too close to each other to further maintain dove-like relations. . Accord- ing to Ward, McQuaig hit Great Northern; but when they had both finally told their troubles to Starting Judge Oliver Lehman, that august gentleman nicked Ward’s bank roll $25 worth, because the latter used his whip too freely, and then un- seated Alice Arion’s driver. When the smoke of the tilt had cleared it was seen that Wildwood Boy had been awarded second place, with Great Northern in third position and California B, fourth. Alice Arion was relegated to the cellar for foul driving. ] Hens;y Thomas crawled into Alice Arion’s sulky—and at first glance the fight for honors in the third and de- ciding heat was on. Unable to Score. But Alice Arion, with Al Thomas' son driving her, couldn’t score; after a few attempts the powers that be| in the judges’ stand got their heads| together and decided that Ward would have to decorate himself with the mare’s cqlors again, ; 4 The announcement to this effect precipitated an outburst of applause and a wave of cheering from the large crowd, for, despite the fracas, it wanted the drivers that started the race to finish it. Miss Pinkerton tucked her royal nose into the air, dived out in_front and led the front rank’s division in a sensational finish, Alice Arion close at her heels and Great Northern third, with California B, fourth. Nip and Tuck Finish. The nip and tuck dash under the wire was as exciting as any finish of the local Great Western circuit meet- ing thus far and gave many on old- time horseman, and a host of younger ones, the “thrill that comes once in a life time.” La Belle Online, after finishing sece ond in the first heat, copped two firsts in the next two heats in the 2:15 won first money; Baxter Lou getting second coin, and Major Hardy, third. The time in cach heat was good: 2:12Y, 2:12% and 2:1134. Peter Billiken won first money in the 2:11 trotting class, Slks club purse of $500, with Mightellion second, and Ten G, third. Garrity, driven by Dr. Grant Wil- liams, captured the special race—half- mile heats—for amateur drivers, Trust Company at Pittsburgh Closed Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 24 —The Cen- tral Trust company of Pittsburgh was closed today by order of the state banking, department, an an- nouncement posted on the door giv-| ing bad loans and overdrafts as the cause.

The dispatch, says Alfred Lohmann, head of the ({crman Navi- gation company, which owns the Bre- men, asserts he has received a mes- sage from the submarine, and that it will arrive in America in a few days. London, Aug. 24.—The departure for America a week ago of the Ger-| man submarine Bremen is reported in-a dispatch from Bremen, as for-! warded from The Hague by the Ex- change Telegraph company. It is said the owners of the Deutschland and the Bremen received word seven days ago of the progress Deing made by the Deutschland on its return voyage, and it was not until they had obtained this_information that they permitted the Bremen to depart. The Deutschland took. the same route on both its voyages, the dis- patch says, returning to Germany by the North Sea. Captain Paul Koe- nig of the Deutschland is being feted | as a national hero,.and has been sum- moned to Emperor William’s head- quarters to report on his voyage. The Deutschland returned home slightly damaged, according to an Ex- change Telegraph dispatch from The Hague, which says this information is contained in a telegram from Bre- men, ; Another Conflrmation. Reports of the retirn of the Ger- man submarine Deutschland from the United States are corroborated in a telegram received at Amsterdam from Bremen as forwarded by Reuter’s correspondent. According to this in- formation the Deutschland traveled 4,200 miles on its homeward voyage. At the beginning the sea was tempes- tuous, but later it became more calm. The. Deutschland proved to be able to navigate the stormy seas excel- lently. Its engines worked faultless- ly. No icebergs were passed on the journey. The American government, says the dispatch, acted in a correct man- ner as a neutral, enforcing respect for its frontier from British and French warships by the employment of its own men-of-war. After a British cruiser entered Chesapeake bay at night, even more effective measures were taken to enforce neutrality. No less than eight British warhips, it is said, were ‘on the alert, surrounded by numerous small American vessels which had been chartered for the pur- pose of placing nets and obtaining in- formation as to the movement of the Deutschland. Nevertheless the sub- marine succeeded in leaving unde- tected. A distance of 100 miles was traversed under water without diffi- culty. The Deutschland, 2 German sub- marine built for carrying merchan- dise, arrived at Baltimore trom Bremer® on July 9, with a cargo of dyestuffs and mails. Its arrival was hailed in Germany as the beginning of a regular submarine merchant serv- ice between the United States and Germany, which would be able to defy the British blockade. It was an- nounced that it would be followed shortly by the Bremen, a sister ship The Deutschland left Baltimore on its return trip, August 1, with a cargo of rubber and metal. - Lloyd Liner Leaves Boston. Boston, Aug. 24.—The North Ger- man Lloyd liner Willehad, which has been in refuge here since the outbreak of the war, slipped out of the harbor early today, presumably for New Londen, Conn., for which port ¢ obtained clearance papers last night.

It was entirely theoretical and was based on the fear that information concerning the location of Rear Ad- miral Helm's “blue” fleet, defending the Atlantic coast against a tactical assault by Admiral Mayo's ‘“red” fleet, which might reach the.invaders by wireless from foreign merchant ships clearing from American ports, This information, (it was pointed out, might be gathered by “foreign agents” from incoming ships which had sighted the “blue” fleet, and given to outgoing vessels for trans- mission after the three-mile neutrality limit was passed. It was considered ent probable that officers of the invading fleet before the war game actually started did not overlook the opportunity to establish an espionage system similar to that with which American authorities might have to ords of the American embassy, | cope in time of real war, Ships Cause For this reason details of the “blue” fleet's tactics- were gaurded at the Navy department as carefully as if| the nation's safety were actually in volved. Even the chances of leak within the department were admitted | as theoretically possible, although | confidence was expressed in all per-| sons who know Admiral Helm's wheéreabouts. Amateur wireless stations are un- der censorship, and those in charge of supervising the amateurs are tak- ing precautions to, guard against dis- semination of military secrets through these sources, Considering the location of the in- vading fleet when first reported and the speed of the vessels which went out to meet it, an encounter might have occurred yesterday, As soon as such a meeting does happen, an- nouncement will be 'made by the Navy department, unless for some reason the disclosure would be of aid to the hostile forces, U. S. DEFENSE LINE Naval Guard Overpowered and Stores Destroyed in Mock War Game. THE PIERS ARE BURNED Washington, Aug. 24.—The Navy department was taxing its resources tonight to fill up the first hypothetical gap in the country's defense which has developed in the naval war game in progress off the Atlantic coast. Theoretically a mob of uniformed men today overpowered the naval guard at the piers at Sewall point, on Hampton Roads, destroyed reat stores of goal and supplies col- ected there for possible use of the “blue” defending fleet,. and barned the piers. ; Paymaster Gets Busy. _To add to. 4 alism of the game, i Afdmir:l' efnsoh, Ifecmmu ?ometical o Paymaster General. McGowan, whose duty it would be in war to cope with the situation there. The pay- master general immediately set his forces to work to locate néw stores of coal and supplies and to find means for sending them to some point on the roads at the earliest possible mo- ment. The problem requires that actual supplies be found and the pos- sibility of getting them forward promg!ly be figured out in order to test the machinery of the department, Sweeping the Seas. While naval forces ashore were dealing with this angle of the game, Rear Admiral Helm still was sweep- ing the seas with his scouts in southeasterly direction from Narra- gansett, the base from which he sailed yesterday morning in an effort to re- pel Admiral Mayo's “red” fleet. Pre- sumably the “blue” scouts were with- in 300 miles of the enemy’s last known Pouilion at daylight, but no report that ‘red” battle craft had been sighted, reached the department up to a late hour, Officers here say Admiral Mayo obably has changed his course and is endeavoring to slip around the end of the 600-mile line of scouts with his fifteen battleships and thirty transe ports. If he can reach a point be- tween Cape Hatteras and Eastport, Me., without having been sighted he will be able to employ his fleet to hold off the “blue” squadrons while a land- ing is effected. .

At the end of the investigation, ar- bitration would be suggested, but if not accepted, opportunity would given to the men to take a strike vote. The balloting would be secret.

Gar- retson, spokesman for the employes, voiced the opinion of all.when Ke id it “certainly was not depressing.” Other leaders indicated it was very satisfactory, The exccutives met and heard the report of the subcommittee, which has been working on a counter prosoul. 5 and there were indications that Presi- dent Wilson expected an answer to- day or, at the latest, tomorrow. Signs of unrest among the men, so apparent yesterday, disappeared today and there were renewed indications that the railroads would agree on some propbsal to include the eight- hour day in @ manner satisfactory to the employes’ committee, and then bring about a deep investigation of all the collateral issues.
