Press Commends Fair and
Neutral Conduct in Treat
ment of Submarine Liner.
DEUTSCHLAND CREW FETED
New Commercial Relations Forecast
as Result of Breaking of Brit
ish Blockade Voyage Tem-
4 pestuous at Start.
' BERLIN, via London. Aug. 2. Most
of the buildings hero are decked with
flags, in celebration of the '.return of
the merchant-submarine Deutschland.
The newspapers give the exploit ol
Captain Koenig a prominent place In
their editorial comments and discuss
the possibility of the Empire's getting
certain much-needed materials through
merchant submarines. Captain Koenig
and his crew have been feted as heroes.
The press gives liberal praise to the
fair and neutral conduct of the United
States Government. The Cologne Ga
sette says:
'The American Government was
throughly and correctly neutral. The
American fleet saw strictly that the
American boundaries were daily re
spected by the English as well as the
French. Increased precautions were
taken after an English cruiser had sur
reptitiously entered Chesapeake Bay
at night."
Extended Traffic Predicted.
The Tageblatt in its comment laid
stress upon the new commercial rela
tions established by means of this
voyage between Germany and the
United States. despite the British
blockade and restrictions upon com
merce, saying that while the Inter
change of products Is so far of a limi
ted nature, the company owning the
submarine is busy with preparations
to extend the traffic.
The semi-official Norddeutsche Al
Igemelne Zeitung points out that ships
of the Deutschland and Bremen type
will render valuable service during the
war, but their value will be slight on
the return of peace.
Captain Koenig personally expressed
great satisfaction at the treatment ac
corded him by the American Govern-
ment
Emperor William has sent the fol
lowing telegram to the owners of the
Deutschlaircl:
"With sincere pleasure I have just
received news of the safe return of
the submarine liner Deutschland. I
heartily congratulate the owners and
builders of the vessel and the brave
seamen under Koenig's command."
Crew to Be Decorated.
The message also expressed the In
tention of the Emperor to bestow dec
orations on members of the Deutsch
land's crew.
Count von Reventlow In the Deutsche
Tages Zeitung is almost alone In taking
a pessimistic view of the entire affair.
He calls attention to the fact that over
estimating the value of the merchant !
submarine Is detrimental to German
National Interests. The general com
ment, however. Is confined to a keen
appreciation of the daring displayed in
building and navigating the submarine.
LONDON, Aug. 24. According to a
dispatch from Bremen, by way of The
Hague, the Deutschland surprised her
owners by arriving nearly a week be
fore she was expected. According to
this Information the Deutschland trav
eled 4200 miles on her homeward voy
age. At the beginning the sea was
tempestuous, but later it became more
calm. The Deutschland- proved to be
able to navigate the stormy seas excel
lently. Her engines worked faultless
ly. No Icebergs were passed on the
Journey.
The Bremen Is said to have sailed a
week ago. It is said the owners of
both submarines received word seven
days ago of the progress being made
by the Deutschland on her return
voyage and th.it it was not until they
had obtained this Information that
they permitted the Bremen to depart.

PARIS. Aug. 24. French, troops to
day completed the occupation of
Maurepas and carried their lino 200
meters beyond the town on a front
of - two kilometers, according to to
night's communication. The afternoon
report Bays'? -
"South of the Somme last night, after
a very lively bombardment directed
against Hoyecourt wood, the enemy
attempted an attack with grenades,
which was mastered Immediately by
our fire. Southwest of this wood an
attempted enemy attack was caught
under our curtain of fire and the en
emy was prevented from leaving Jiis
trenches.
"In the Champagne several German
surprise attacks on a minor post in
the Tahure region were repulsed
easily.
"On the right bank of the Meuse the
enemy bombarded briskly the positions
we captured yesterday between Fleury
and Thlaumont. We took more
than 250 prisoners. Including five of
ficers, during this attack. There has
been a somewhat lively artillery duel
in the region of Chenols."
Bulgarian.
BERLIN. Aug. 24. The following
official report was received from Sofia
today:
"We defeated the enemy on the
Struma on August 21. The enemy es
caped by flight on the right bank.
The whole ground in the neighbor
hood of the villages of Erikeui. Mev
ory and Towolova was covered with
bodies of the enemy's dead. Up to the
present we have counted more than
400 dead. Including the bodies of sev
eral officers.
"We captured eight machine guns, a
large number of rifles, grenades and
wagons for artillery and supplies. We
also took, 190 unwounded prisoners,
besides four officers and 60 wounded
prisoners. The battlefield was cov
ered with a huge quantity of kits,
which proved that the enemy was de
feated completely.
"A squad of hostile cavalry was
lured by a maneuver of our cavalry
into the range of our Infantry fire
and literally annihilated.
"French attacks which bad been di
rected for 10 days against ' our posi
tions south and west of Lake Doiran
failed completely. This probably is
the reason why the general staff of
General Sarra.ll (the allied command
er) reports the capture of places
which all along had been In the
hands of the French, such as the rail
road station at Doiran and the vil
lage of Doloudyeli, which was aban
doned by the enemy.
"Our troops buried 50 French dead
on the right bank of the Vardar. Ia
the vicinity of Nayadagn we captured
a hostile detachment and one machine
gun. The French left 70 dead behind
them.""

LONDON. Aug. 24. Today's official
announcement says:
"Last night the enemy made stren

After a short struggle the attack was
repulsed.

The Willehad went out under the flag

PETROGRAD, via London. Aug. 22;
Teutonic forces have begun deter
mined attacks against the Russians,
who recently forced their way across
to the west bank of the Stokhod, in
the vicinity of Rudka-Chervlsche,
northeast of Kovel. Today's announce
ment by the war office says:
"The enemy yesterday opened a
fierce artillery and machine gun fire
on our positions near Tobot, on the
west bank of the Stokhod, 38 miles
northeast of Kovel. In the afternoon
enemy columns commenced an offen

fle and machine gun fire.
"The presence of Turkish troops on
the Zlota Lipa (Gallcia) is disclosed

"On the Caucasus front our offen

BERLIN, via London, Aug. 24. To
day's statement on the fighting in the
West says:
"North of the Somme last night fresh
efforts on the part of the enemy were
rendered futile.
"Near Maurepas and especially to the
south, strong French forces were re

prisoners and booty were brought in.
there were no developments of impor

a coalition cabinet, although he said
he regretted they had been unable to
do so. ,
It is expected that the new consti
tution will go lioto effect when the
general elections are ordered. As it
will be the first time that an election
will be held under the' new constitu
tion, it is believed preparations for
the elections will take a long time,
and It probably cannot be held before
the beginning or the middle of Oc
tober. . -
Some Influential politicians express
the opinion that the result of the
elections will be that the Rlgsdag will
ratify the treaty of sale with the
United States.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. Senator
Stone, chairman of the Senate foreign
relations committee, announced tonight
that action of the Danish Landsthing
in rejecting the proposal to sell the
Danish West Indies to the United States
would make no difference in the atti
tude of the United States, nor cause
any delay in the effort to have the
treaty providing for purchase of the is
lands ratified here as soon as possible.
Some Senators thought that the posi
tion taken by the Danish Landsthing
would serve to hasten - action on the
treaty In this country, but many of
them doubt that it can be ratified at
this session.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24. While
more than 100 German submarines
have been destroyed or captured in

New Offensive Task Stu
pendous In Hilly Land.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER
LONDON. Aug. 24. (Special.) Greek
volunteers are rushing to the colors to
resist the Bui gar threat. While Czar
Ferdinand's troops continue to advance
east of the Struma, the battle at Seres
is still In progress, according to ad
vices from Athens.
The Greek garrison at Seres has been
reinforced by officers and men assem
bled at Salonikl. To them has been
added a corps of Albanians. Many of
the Greek troops are reported to have
taken places in the ranks of the allies,
and a furious struggle is promised. ,
Issue IVItfc Greece Is Forced.
Thus the Issue between the Teutonic
allies and Greece has come to a head.
King Constantine and his ministers are
making great efforts to prevent trou
ble, but the situation Is getting beyond
their control rapidly.
The general staff at Athens has
ordered that the Greek troops at Seres
retire before the Bulgars. But the
commander of the town has rallied
around him a strong force and seems
determined to dispute the Bulgarian
advance.
Meanwhile the Venlzellsts at Athens
and throughout Greece, realizing that
their opportunity has come, are agi
tating for intervention on the side of
the entente. Their task is made easier
by the Intense feeling roused in Greece
over the heroic resistance offered by
the Greek garrisons to the Bulgarians.
Crisis May Come Sunday.
The crisis may come next Sunday.
when a mass meeting will be held in
celebration of the anniversary of 1909.
Atnen8 is stirred to its depths by the
Bulgar menace. Repeated promises of
the Teuton envoys thst Greek sover
eignty will be respected have failed to
allay the fears of the populace. Many
in the capital demand that Greece
strike now, before the BUlgar reaches
his goal.
In the battle which continues with
unabated fury on the whole front north
of Salonikl the pressure against the
allied wings has not relaxed. The Bul
gars have now forced their way on
the left wing 25 miles south of Fiorina,
while on the right they say they have
cleared the allied forces from the left
bank of the Struma.
Serba Lannch Offensive.
The Serbs are battling heroically to
stem the Bulgar tide. In an effort to
check the advance west of Lake Os-
trovo they have launched an offensive
along the- mountainous front around
the Moglenica Valley and have suc
ceeded In winning back a height near
Lake Ostrovo.
Because of the hilly country here, the
Serbs are confronted with a stupen
dous task. They must drive the Bulgars
from heights which have been strongly
fortified, and at the same time main
tain their line to the west. It ia esti
mated that in this sector the defensive
force has an advantage of three to
one over the attacking troops.
