HALIFAX FOR CAPTIVES. Cruiser Lancaster Halts Vessel and Sends Two Boarding Crews to Search. The British cruiser Lancaster, ex- @rcising her right of search, halted the Royal Dutch West Indian mailship Commewijne , off Scotland lightship @né barely outside the three-mile Mit of American territorial waters Bear noon to-day and took from the @bip 27 German subjects believed to be members of tho Imperial Naval Re- @erve. One German escaped seizure by hiding among the cargo in the hold ef the Dutch ship and the British @earching crew spent more than an hour in fruitless rummaging for him. ‘This bringing of the war to the very gates of New York was attended by Wery -pectucular cumstances and wrought a flurry ong the passen- gers of the Dutch ship such as few incoming travellers at the port of New York hive experienced. The Commewijne was Inward bound from Colombian and Caribbean island Ports with a large passenger list of mixed nationalities. Among her pas- @engers were thirty-two Germans. Twenty-eight of these are said to Dave been officers and members of the crews of the three Hamburg- American steamships Albingia, Mek- Qenburg and Virginia, which were In- terned by the war at the Colombian B.t of Cartagena. “ When the Dutch mail ship drew @breast of tho Highlands the long, @ray shape and three funnels of the British man-o'-war were ited. The! cruiser was loafing under half steam @bout three miles southeast of Scot- fend Light. That thesinterception of the Commewijne was part of her mis- @ion there was indicated as soon as @he boat from tropical waters drew Qp on the lightship. A wireless came @iicking into the ears of the Comme- wijne’s operator, commanding Capt. Haasnoot to stop his ship at once. Pwo of the slim guns on the Lancas- fer’s starboard secondary battery @owly turned to bear upon the mer- oh hantman. Capt. ping of bis engines the minute the ‘wireless command was conveyed to Bim.

Ono of these, who seemed to be a/ sufferer from rheumatism and who wore carpet slippers, rose from bis chair with dificulty wher mmoned. He asked one of the officers that be be allowed to go to his stateroom and change his shoes. The permission Was granted and the German hob- bled below. Then four of the Ger- mans suspected of being members of the German Naval Reserve produced “first papers’ of American citizen- ship, Though by the rules of war “first papers” do not protect a would- be citizen, the British officere ex- empted the lucky four from seizure, The others were tersely told that they were prisoneré.of war and that they would be taken to Halifax | aboard the Lancaster. When the other passengers of the Dutch ship heard this some of them hurrted to Capt. Haasnoot ai with him to ilaterve: to spare the captured Germans. He denied bis right to act, Saying that as he was a captain under a neutral flag he had no province in the matter. When the boarding party was ready to marshal ite prisoners overside the oMcers noted the absence of the rheu- matic who wore the carpet slippers, Capt.

Equipped with lanterns, the angry Britishera prowled the length and ,breadth of the holds prodded under bags and thrust their guns behind packing cases, but got no trace of the German with the carpet slippers. The boarding of- ficers decided that he had been hid- den by connivance of some Dutch | sailor of the Commewijne. Finally they gave up the quest and, | ae the 27 captives in the two the boarding party steamed back to the Lancaster, The Ci e- wijne continued on her voyage to Quarantine. No rheumatic German gentleman in carpet slippers has been found aboard yet. TORONTO ENTRIES.

FINDS ARMIES LOCKED: NETHER HAS ADVANCED Entrenched in Hills Along Oise ~ and Meuse—Claim French Near Verdun Repulsed—Atta Both Centre and Left Wings. sm WAR SUMMARY An oficial statement Issued at Berlin says the battle between the Oise and the Meuse Rivers continues, with sure thet the allies are falling back. It is declared the French to out through the German right wing failed and a sortic from Verdun on the right bank of the Meuse was repulsed. The German army is said to be advancing slowly, but surely. The above statement evidently was issued late yesterday, as the substance of it was received in this country under date A Sept. 17. It was announced officially in Paris at 3 o'clock this after- Boon that the allies had progressed somewhat. The western wing was declared to have repulsed a vigorous German offensive. Im proroguing Parliament to-day King George sald he was compelled to go to war for the protection of the public law of Burope and the vital interests of the empire, and that, fighting fer a worthy purpose, Great Britain would not lay down her arms uatil that purpose had been fully achieved. Austrian advices report that the Servians have evacuated Gem- Mn, the town they seized when they began their invasion of Hum gary. Servian reports say their successes continue. Th great battle is raging with intense fierceness along the whole front which extends, roughly speaking, from the River Otse, near Noyon, to the German fortress of Metz, but barring a slight retirement of the German right wing at certain points no decided advantage is credited to either side, Presumably the efforts of the allies have been divided inte‘ three supreme struggles; first, to dislodge the Germans from the heights of Aisne; second, to break through the Fourth and Fifth German Armies at the centre, and third, to outflank the Germas right under Gen. von Kluck. The position of the Fourth and Fitth German Armies is considered not so strong as the remainder fo the Mine, while, tf the flanking movemont {s successful, the railroad ines on which the Germans depend so greatly would be cut. While the next move of either army is a matter of the merest apeculation, London dwells to-day upon the possibility that the * Germans are striving only to hold the strong positions they now © have assumed, with the view of keeping the allies at bay and thus affording Emperor William opportunity to rush more troops to his Eastern frontier. On the other hand, {t would be no surprise if the Germans, now reinforced, should attempt another aggressive movement, Figures compiled here declare the German losses were 3,200 daily for the last fortnight. This totals more than 44,000 since Sept. 4, As the losses of the allies are known to have been tremen- dous and adding the terrible losses suffered by the Austrians im Galicia, some {dea may be gained of the extraordinary sacrifices of men during these first few weeks of the world’s greatest war, wleocc-eco-cos 2 5 German Attacks Fail Everywhere, Say French in To-Day’s Repor PARIS, Sept. 18 (United Press].—The official ment, telegraphed from Bordeaux and made public afternoon at 3.15 by Gen. Gallieni, says: “The battle has continued along the whole front the Oise to the region of the Woevre during the entire the 17th without important changes in the situation at point. i} PY ie 4 en
