THE MORNING ORE GO XT ATT, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 101 H. GERr.lANS INTERROR BEFORE HEW THIS British Armored Cars Carry Demoralization and Swift i Death to Enemy. BULLETS ARE OF NO AVAIL Easly Morning Dash First Surprise, Then Strikes Fear to Foe as the Power of Monster Land V Drcadnanghts Is Seen. ' WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, via London, Sept. 17. With ceaseless shell fire from unprecedented concentration of guns, the battle raged furiously all day Saturday, with the British making- good their advance of Friday, while the Germans were rush ing up reserves from other parts of the western front. The demoralization of their Infantry yesterday by the use of the new armored motor cars called "tanks" was freely confessed by prisoners with whom the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press talked today. Bullets of No Avail. "There was no standing against that sort of thing," said one German officer. "Of course we surrendered those of us who were alive. We fired at a tank with our rifles. Our machine guns turned loose on it. But the but lets were only blue sparks on the armor. Wo thought the British slow and stupid, despite their courage and stubbornness, and they gave us a sur prise like this." A column of German prisoners pass ing a tank rejoicing in the nickname of "creme de menthe," which had re turned from the battle and was resting from its labom. spread out their hands and shook their heads as they looked at it, exclaiming in a chorus: "Alein Gott In himmell, it is under control! It won't break out and begin firing again! We will never forget our first sight of the thing as It came at us out of the morning mist. It isn't war using a piece of machinery like that; it is butchery!" Machine Peaceable When Fd." To this a British officer replied: "No, it is quite peaceable and tame now. It has just been fed. As for It not be ing war, it is quite in keeping with The Hague convention, which the gas attack at Yypres was not." In such an action as that of yester day the correspondent, though he has freedom of the field and is informed of the plan of attack the night before and, although he disregards sleep, he finds it difficult to get a full report of the results so that he can send a dispatch the same night. But moving about -the lines from headquarters of the different units of the command up to the point where the wounded and the prisoners are be ing brought in in a fresh orgy of struggle, hearing innumerable accounts as vivid as the red spots on white bandages and piecing bits of informa tion before sitting down to write his cable, there seems no question but that yesterday was the most dramatic day In the history ofthe British army in France. "Hell" Machines Give Aid. The Germans themselves were mass ing at several points, it appears, with a view to attempting attacks in recov er some high ground they had lost. The British anticipated the German at tack with their own onslaught, assist ed by their new "heir' machines, whose secret they had been keeping up" their sleeves for such an occasion as this. The accounts of both the wounded British soldiers and the prisoners taken from all parts, of the line agree that the German losses were immense. As a rule the forces In the front line trenches supported patrols in the shell craters in the Somme battle area in email numbers with a plentiful supply of machine guns. This means a smaller force exposed to artillery concentra tion in case of attack. With the ma chine guns silenced and the front trench taken, the reserves expected un der cover of the artillery fire on their side to retake it by counter attacks. Thus the Germans intended' to attack. They had massed large numbers of men in their front trenches. These were not only caught by the surprise of the sudden blast of the early morn ing concert of the British guns preced ing the charge of the British infantry, but were, raked by machine gun fire from the "tank" cars.- As the Germans were in new trenches which they had built as beet they could under the con tinual shell fire and as they had no dugouts and could find no shelter, they were subjected to the murderous en filade from the tank cars. Mob Confusion Prevails. Despite German discipline and the bravery and the racial hate which the Germans put into their fights against the British, at many points mob con fusion prevailed among those in the front lines. Some attempted to sur render, though surrender seemed im possible against these walking forts. Others fired desperately and hopeless ly before being mowed down and oth ers were paralyzed by the apparition which had no precedent in warfare. Trenches were filled with German dead and those in flight fell like grain be fore a reaper where the tank cars could direct sprays of lead in their path. The British rlan was not to- take Martlnpuich or Courcelette Friday, but so successful was the early morning advance that the command was riven to push on, and by nightfall both places were in the possession of the British. These two villages are on the left or hinge of the movement which has its right on the bank of the canal opposite Peronne. The Germans were congested here in a narrow area to pre vent the British from widening their battle line by breaking through more frontage on the old first line fortifica tion, "but the larger the German num bers, the more casualties it meant," said the officer. With demoralization In their front line, the Germans threw forward all reserves and summoned a division from Lille by train, while every motor ve hicle they had was bringing up men and machine guns and horse artillery was summoned from right and left to reinforce the already enormous con centration of guns. Alarm best de scribes the situation of the Germans after the sudden and unexpected as sault. Stories of Car Prevail. Saturday the Germans gathered their forces and attempted counter attacks. At- some points they broke through the new British lines, anl while the British were resisting at these points they " were attacking at others. Under terrific pounding the stubborn wrestle continuee with the British in possession of more ground last night than they had planned. In one case where there was no tank car to silence the machine guns and it fell to the duty of a certain battalion to maintain the line on its right and left, 70 men went forward. All were mown down and another platoon of 70 men mown down, but the third see- OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS British. LONDON, Sept. 17. The text of to day's official report on the fighting in France is as follows: "South of the Ancre, our troops, in the vicinity of Courcelette extended our gains on a front of about 1000 yards. Near Thiepval we obtained consider able success by capturing the hostile fortification known as the Danube trench on a front of about a mile. Here the enemy abandoned much equipment. We also captured the strongly defended work at Mouquet farm, possession of which had been hotly contested for some weeks past. "The number of prisoners is increas ing. "Enemy forces attacking from the di rection of Les Boeufs and north of Flers, suffered heavy casualties. "Between Flers and Martlnpuich an enemy brigade advancing to attack in the direction of High Wood was met by two of our battalions In the open. Hand-to-hand fighting ensued, in which the enemy was thrown back with heavy losses. "North of Moquet farm another conflagration in the enemy's ammuni tion dump at Grandcourt broke out as the result of our fire. "The number of prisoners taken to day south of the Ancre is six officers and 243 men." Austria, VIENNA, via London, Sept. 17. The tlon. charging over the dead, took that German strong point and- thus pre vented any break in the line of ad vance. As for the new care stories of their progress continue to be told. One car which took on board a German Colonel who surrendered to it kept him along with it throughout the fight. Another ambled in on a German battery of field guns and with Its machine gun killed the German gunners, who were not able to flee from the grotesque caller. On car, which went through the main street of Flers, had placarded on its sides "Extra, full account of the great Hun victory!" Sunday's War Moves. GERMAN positions exceeding four miles in length were captured Sat urday night and Sunday by the British and French armies in the Somme region. War material and many prisoners were captured. German "counter-attacks were repulsed with large losses to the Germans, according to London. The British took a fortified position over a front of a mile; near Cource lette an advance of about 1000 yards was made, and the strongly defended position at the Mouquet farm fell into their hands. South of the river the French pushed back the Germans and occupied the re mainder of , Vermandovillers and Berny, and also captured all the ground between Vermandovillers and Deniecourt and between Denlecourt and Berny, the gain being over a front running northeast two miles and thence east another mile. The advance of the British apparently brings their front to within a mile of Grandcourt and the. Albert-Bapaume railway. Grandcourt Is being bombarded by the British. The success of the French seemingly Is another move of the right flank of the entente toward the pocket ing of Peronne. Hard fighting has been resumed from the . Pripet marsh region in Russia, through Gallcla and up in the Carpathian Mountains. Berlin and Vienna assert the repulse of Russian attacks on a front of about 12 hi miles west of Lutsk, In Galicia, and in the Carpathians at several points. Near the Marajowka River, however, Berlin admits that the front of Arch duke Charles Francis was pushed back by the Russians. Petrograd records an advance for the Russians south of Brzezany, southeast of Lemberg, and the capture of more than 3000 Germans In fighting along the Anraiuvka River and the Podvyske Hallcz railway. Bucharest reports the occupation of additional towns in Transylvania. Ber lin and Sofia assert that the forces of the central powers in Dobrudja are in pursuit of Roumanians and Russians. Further progress for the entente al lies on the Macedonian front and by the Italians in Albania is recorded In London, Paris and Rome communica tions. Kavala is under bombardment by the entente fleet. Sofia admits the loss of Nidje Planina, near Lake Ostrovo. French and Russian troops are approaching Fiorina across the Greek frontier south of Monastlr. while the Serbians have reached Vetrenik and Kajmackatan. Italians, in their quest of Trieste, have won strong positions from Aus trlans in sanguinary fighting. South east of the Dobrodo heights the pene tration of the Austrian lines Is ad mitted by Vienna, but the official communication says Italian losses were extremely heavy. GERMANS T0BUILD LINERS Several 8000-Ton Steamers Are to Be Constructed. BERLIN, via London, Sept. 17. Big German shipping men have formed a shipbuilding company which will begin immediately the construction of sev eral 8000-ton steamers for Germany's freight-carrying trade after the war. 'The Hamburg-American line is be hind the new project. The plan Is to concentrate on the construction of 10 knot boats. ITALIANS GAINING GROUND Entrenchments Stormed In Further Effort to Reach Trieste. ROME, via London, Sept. it. The Italians are pressing their offensive In the Isonzo district, with Trieste as their objective. The War Office today reports that further entrenchments on a wide front have been stormed and captured by Italian Infantry, who took some 800 additional prisoners. GRADED TARIFF BROACHED (Continued From Firs page.) has 'most-favored-nation' clauses with certain foreign countries, including the United States. These, It Is assumed, would have to be terminated, with or without compensatory advantages." Other Measures Proposed. British trade domination also would be furthered under the chamber's plan by a reorganization of the consular service, anti-dumping laws, the forma tion of a Ministry of Commerce, with a seat in the Cabinet, and the found ing of a large central credit bank. . In addition to the discriminatory tariffs, subjects of countries now at war with Great Britain would not be allowed to live or trade in England ex cept under difficulties. American trade experts are expected to show the keenest interest in the chamber's recommendations. The chamber's report has been called to Secretary Lansing's attention. official statement from general head quarters issued today reads: "Front of Archduke Charles Francis Attacks were made on the triangular position of territory southwest of Dorna Watre, between Kaput and Czernahora, northwest of the Jablon ica, north of Stanislau, on Narajowska and southeast of Brzezany. These at tacks were everywhere repulsed with the exception of an unimportant suc cess near Lipnicadolna. "Artillery attacks on our allied forces between Zborow and the Upper Sereth everywhere were repulsed. "The Russians though to carry out a master stroke on Lutsk against the army under General Tersotanszky. They threw Into the fight with other troops the newly reinforced guard di visions, which came on in numerous waves against the sector between Pustomyty and Zaturze. "In some places they sucoeeded In penetrating our positions. They were repulsed in counter attacks. "The field was strewn with Russian killed and severely wounded. The small number of prisoners taken tes tifies to the stubborn nature of the fighting. Our losses were relatively small. Italian theater On the Carso plat eau the Italians continue their attacks day and night. Our front remains un shaken. "Southeast of Doberdo the enemy penetrated our lines at places. The fighting at close quarters turned in our favor." MORE AID IS NEEDED Americans Asked to Give Mil lion a Month to Belgium. CHILDREN ARE IN PERIL Tuberculosis Increases as Result of Inadequate Diet Five Million People Destitute Because of Cessation of Trade. . NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Believing that the war will continue at least an other full year, the Commission for Re lief of Belgium anounced today that It faces the necessity of asking, and soon will ask, the American people to give 1,000.000 every month to avert wide spread sickness and death from the lack of proper food. To date the United States has con tributed an average of less than $500. 000 a month, while the Commission's purchases in this country, through funds provided from other countries, have lately averaged more than $10, 000,000 a month. W L. Honnold, who has Just arrived in New York to succeed Captain J. F. Lucey as director of the Commission In America, after having filled a similar position in London, says: "If the cnlldren of Belgium and Northern France are to grow to healthy maturity they must be provided with more food than Is now supplied to them, and to this end the Commission will soon ask the people of the United States to give at least $1,000,000 monthly toward the cost of a special meal which will be served every day in the schools." Tubercular Troubles Alarming. Just before he sailed for America Mr. Honnold inspected conditions in the oc cupied areas and he comes here con vinced that the Commission must In crease its activities on behalf of the children, and-particularly must combat an alarming increase of tubercular' troubles among both children and adults. Mr. Honnold added: "I am sure' that the plight of the children will appeal strongly to the charitable Instincts of the American people, and they will gladly support us in meeting this Insistent call of hu manity. "Since It is the opinion of the Com mission that the war will continue for at least another year, relief must be afforded for a corresponding period. This means that the Commission, which has now been in operation for two years, will probably have to deliver during the next year about 1,250,000 tons of foodstuffs into Belgium and Northern France, calling for an ex penditure of more than $150,000,000. A large portion of the population, say 5,000.000 people, owing to the cessa tion of export and Import trade, are wholly or partially destitute and have to be provided with food free of charge. This class will call for fully $60,000,000 of charity In the coming year, or more than $5,000,000 per month. Diminishing Vitality Shown. "The Commission has lately made a thorough Investigation of health con ditions In Belgium and Northern France to determine the degree of success that has attended its operations. The agri cultural class, which has been able di rectly or indirectly to secure a suf ficiency of foodstuffs. Is, broadly speak ing, in a normal state of health. The same may be said of the well-to-do classes. On the other hand, the high prices obtaining for native products have made it practically impossible for laborers and minor commercial people to secure the necessary supplement to their pro rata of the Commission's im portations. These classes, comprising something like 6,000.000 people, gen erally show diminished vitality, al although the infants, owing largely to the natural solicitude of the women of Belgium and to the special measures supported by the relief organization, are really above normal in general health. "In the case of the older children be longing to the poorer classes, particu larly those In the adolescent stage, there is an alarming Increase In tuber culosis, due to the lower power of re sistance consequent on inadequate diet. It Is to correct this serious tendency that the system of school feeding- i being installed." SURRENDER CHOICE GIVEN Details of Incident at Kavala Be come Known at Athens. LONDON, Sept 17. An Athens dis patch to the Radio Agency describes an extraordinary scene in the barracks of the Greek troops at Kavala after the Bulgarians had summoned the city to surrender. General Hadjopoulos. com manding the fourth army corps, called the officers together and explained that the garrison ccfuld do one of two things surrender to. the Bulgarians or to the Franco-British troops. The majority decided to give them selves up to the entente allies. The commander of the allied troops replied be could not accept troops as prisoners of war who were not enemies, where upon General Hadjopoulos endeavored to take the corps to the Bulgarian side, but only 70 officers and 800 men fol lowed him to Drama. Colonel Christodoulos with his offi cers and men went over to the allies, taking ship to Saloniki. where they landed, ALLIES GAIN FIVE MILES 0FTRENGHES1 Chaulnes and Peronne Im periled Ly Foch's Men, and No Respite Is Given. SALIENT IS ELIMINATED Capture of ''Danube Trench" and Mouquet .. Farm Removes Chief Obstacle to Direct Advance by British on Bnpaume. BT ARTHUR a DRAPER (War correspondent of the New York Trib une. By special Cable.) LONDON, Sept. 17. The British and French, striking simultaneously north and south of the Somme, have further won Important successes. Haig's troops took another giant step forward in their drive against Bapaume. while Foch extended his positions between Chaulnes and Peronne, greatly Increas ing the menace to both these strong holds. Without allowing a single hour's respite to the sorely pressed Germans after the brilliant attack of yesterday, the British troops swung forward last night south of the Ancre, seized the powerful fortifications known as the "Danube trench," on a front of about a mile, extended their lines on a front of 1000 yards near Courcelette and cap tured the strongly defended work at Mouquet farm, the whirlpool around which the fighting in this sector has eddied for weeks. Counter Attacks) Are Repulsed. These positions were all held against violent German counter assaults today, the enemy being thrown back in hand-to-hand engagements -with heavy losses. Meanwhile the French took up the attack south of the Somme and won all the ground between Vermando villers and Berny on a four-mile line running through Denlcourt. The vil lages of Vermandovillers and Berny, partly conquered last week, were brought Into the complete possession of Foch's forces. In their advance north of the Somme, the British took an Important step In their movement toward the encircle ment of Thiepval, obliterating the sal ient that protruded Into their lines be tween that place and Courcelette, and brought their front to within less than a mile of Grandcourt and the Albert Bapaume road. By capturing Mouquet farm work and the Danube trench, Haig has eliminated the greatest ob stacles toward a direct northeast ad vance on Bapaume by the British. The Britisn guns are now bombard ing Grandcourt. while Bapaume itself is almost in range of the heavy artillery. Further operations in this sector probably will wait on a French advance on the eastern end of the line. Koch must push forward In the Combles region before the British can proceed with the attack with entire safety to their flank. - The success of the French south of the Somme likewise wipes out a dan gerous salient and brings their right wing nearer the point of the south from which the flank move on Peronne must .be . begun. Swiftly the French are clearing the "whole sector south and southwest of Peronne and bring ing nearer the isolation of that strong hold. Drive Gathers Momentum. The allied attack in Plcardy Is dally growing In momentum. The British advance Is exhibiting such power that it is no longer necessitating constant r pauses for the consolidation of ground gained. Last nights attack followed on the heels of the furious assault that preceded it. That such tactics are demoralizing the enemy is shown in the reports that the German soldiers, in their flight to escape the Inferno, are abandoning rifles and equipment. while many of them, unable to lift their hands from exhaustion, are sur rendering. The British and French pistons, driving forward with alter nate blows, have In the last three days won the most slashing victory of the whole offensive.

British cen sorship of American mall has extended to official letters of the Navy Depart ment from the Far Fast. On the eve of the arrival of Great Britain's note replying to the State Department's protests of the mall censorships, it was learned that the Navy Department cen sors at Vancouver, B.

Interference with official mall had been called to the attention of the State Department in each Instance and protests made to London.
