ONE AMERICAN DETAINED Isador Polak Is Taken Ashore, Pro testing: Vigorously; Wife of Bel gian Diplomat Arrested. Frenchman Escapes. LONDON, Sept. 24 The Dutch mall steamer Prins Hendrik. which was seized by German naval forces while bound from Flushing for London and taken Into Zeebrugge, was in great danger when, as the steamer was being escorted toward that port, an entente allied aeroplane dropped a bomb. In tended' for a convoying: German de stroyer, within 20 feet of the steamer. One Dutch passenger and two sailors were wounded, according to passengers of the Prins Hendrik who have landed here. t Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the American commission for Belgian relief, was standing beside the wounded pas senger and narrowly escaped injury. The hull of the vessel was punctured in 23 places. The trip to Zeebrugge was due to the fact that a re-search of the ship was expected whe.n a special courier threw over a package that sank immediately. An American courier was not molested by the Germans. The only other American aboard, Isador Polak, was taken ashore, pro testing vigorously. Fellow passengers were Ignorant of the cause of his de tention. The only woman landed was the wife of Baron de Andriont, of the Belgian diplomatic service. M. Benoit, of the. French diplomatic service, was r moved, but his wife remained aboard. The only belligerent who avoided capture and detention was a 19-year-old French soldier, who had escaped from a German prisoner camp. He re mained for seven hours in a wooden tub that had the open end propped against the deckhouse. The 'passengers report that the Germans conducted the examination courteously. The Prins Hendrik on her final trip out from Zeebrugge was escorted, in addition to destroyers, by three German aeroplanes, the pilots of which amused themselves by shooting wild ducks with their machine guns.

A British official communication from Saloniki today says: "On the Struma front our troops crossed the river at three places, occu pying Jenmita, driving the enemy be fore them, and attacking Kara Dzkovbala, where they met with strong opposition. Our artillery entirely dis persed a counter-attack from Navel-. Jen. . "East of Nemhori naval and field artillery successfully bombarded enemy trenches. "On the Dolran front our patrols have shown great activity, but mist has hindered the artillery work." Bulgarian. SOFIA, Sept. 23, via Amsterdam and London. Sept. 24. An official statement today says: "On the heights of Ctaranerek Plainla we captured a mountain crest south of Popla. The enemy retired in disorder, leaving behind a great number of wounded. "In the Vardar regions and on the Struma front there was an artillery duel. "In Dobrudja the situation was more quiet. An enemy attempt to advance upon Moustaferaxe was checked. On the remainder of this front there were weak engagements of advanced posts, which resulted to our advantage." Sunday's War Move. AERIAL activity In which two Zep pelins were brought down and more than two score of German, French and British aeroplanes met with dis aster in fights In the air, forms the chief news feature of the war. Two Zeppelins were brought down by British anti-aircraft gunners on the eastern coast of England after a fleet of 12 airships had visited London and other points Saturday night. One of the machines, with its entire crew, was burned in midair. The other was damaged and its crew taken pris oners. In the metropolitan district of Lon don 28 men, women and children were killed and 99 wounded. Outside of London two persons met death and 11 were wounded. Considerable material damage was done by bombs in London and the outlying districts. Paris re pouts that French airmen have accounted for 26 German aero planes, while Berlin records the bring ing down of 24 entente allied machines, 20 of them on the Somme front. Five German machines were destroyed by the British Saturday and two others driven down damaged, while five British machines are missing. On the battle front in France artillery duels have predominated. In Galicla a Russian attack on the Upper Dniester resulted in a general scramble. North of Zborow attackers entered trenches of the Teutonic allies, but later, according to both Berlin and Vienna, were driven out. leaving 700 prisoners. Petrograd, however, says that the Russians took prisoner 1500 Austrians and Germans. In the Car pathians several positions have been retaken by the Teutonic allies.

SULKING CHARGE DENIED In Roumanla the fighting has died down somewhat in the Dobrudja re gion, while on the Transylvania front an attack by the Roumanians on the Vulcan Pass, which was repulsed, is the only engagement reported. British troops have crossed the Struma at three points and taken the town of Jenmita from the Bulgarians, while the Serbs have made additional progress northwest of Kamaikclan. and the French northwest of Fiorina. Sofia reports the capture by Bulgari ans of a mountain crest south of Popla. The usual artillery bombardments and isolated infantry engagements have taken place on the Austro-Italian front. Violent Austrian attacks in the Carso region failed, according to Rome, but the Italian War Office admits the blowing up of a part of Mount Cimone by an Austrian mine and the relin quishment of the position by the Italians. Vienna says that 422 prisoners fell into the hands of the Austrians as a result of this operation and that an en tire Italian company was buried in the explosion. Country, It Is Declared, Can No Longer Rely on Diplomatic Assurances of Central Powers. ATHENS, Friday, Sept. 22,.via Lon don, Sept. 24. All Athenian newspapers comment on the latest declaration made by King Constantino of Greece to the Associated Press, yesterday, in which his majesty said that Greece was ready to join the entente allies whenever she could see certain advantage in so do ing. The Hesperina. an antl-Venizelos or gan, devotes a four-column editorial to the declarations of the king. The author of the editorial is Nicholas Stra tos. minister of marine last year In the cabinet of Premier Gounaris. M. Stra tos takes each sentence as a text for the elucidation of a pro-war policy saying it is evident that the Greek king is seeking en excuse and means to de part from ;t neutral course. The ex- minister, who heretofore has been most ardent opponent of war, declares openly: "The country cannot further depe id upon the diplomatic assurances of the central empires and must enter the war by national action." With Agamemnon Schliemann, Greek minister at Washington in 1914, M. Stratos has formed a new antl-Venize los war party. One of the foremost po litical figures in Greece said to the As sociated Press today: "The king, instead of bargaining for Greece's entry into the war. is merely being sensible enough not to enter un til in a position to be of real value to the Entente allies. We have made our representations to the Entente powers, stating frankly what we require if we would not be more trouble than assist ance. The decision is up to them." WAR IN ALP3 FANTASTIC AMBASSADOR TO ITALY DESCRIBES GREAT DIFFICULTIES. RAINS CHECK BATTLE Early Autumn Plakes Quagmire of. Transylvania. SIX WEEKS' LULL EXPECTED Veritable Struggle of Giants lu Spring Looked Forward To. Roumania's Vast Supply of Oil and Food Coveted. VIENNA, via London. Sept. 24. The unusually early setting in of Autumn has caused a slowing down in the op erations in Transylvania, where the higher points already are covered with four feet of snow. Torrential rains on all the fronts where the Austro-Hungarians are en gaged have converted the battlefields into auagmires, and the indications are that a long lull In offensive movements is cominjc. although the freezing or the ground would improve conditions. Those who had hoped tnat a decision would come before the advent of Win ter now see that newer and greater offensives next Spring are inevitable. Military authorities here also believe that a veritable struggle or giants win come with the new Spring. It is expected the present situation will prevail for about six weeks. Such a lull, military critics here believe, of fers an opportunity for the concentra tion of troops of the Central Powers by railroad against Roumania, which has vast stores of food and petroleum. Meanwhile The forces of the central powers in Dobrudja have shortened their front from 160 to 90 kilometers, which is an advantage in the present state of weather. The entente offensive from Saloniki, it is prophesied, will recede as Winter approaches, because the Macedonian mountains, which have a bad terrain in Summer, even now are considered im passable in many places. In the last three weeks Vienna has been visited by the most torrential rains in recent years. One rainstorm lasted 60 hours. Many floods have been caused and a dam near Gabions broke, causing the death of many persons. Yesterday Emperor Francis Joseph do nated 20,000 crowns for relief in that district. red in its last quarter from behind a cloud bank. From the city it ap peared to hang stationery for a min ute or more, then glowing' redder and redder, it slowly turned to the per pendicular and streaked into the gloom of the smoky night ground mist. To the watchers in Essex, however. the spectacle of the flaming, falling Zeppelins had all the thrills of excite ment which marked the end of the L-21, and they chereed the gunners and their fortunate shots that brought the raiders to earth. Attack Expected by People. London, expected the attack of last night, the Germans evidently having selected Saturday for their greatest efforts. But a bright moon deterred any attempt since three weeks ago, wnen 16 raiaers came over the sea. The change from the unlucky 13 to 1 last night brought, however, worse rather than better luck to the flying squadron. . From the moment the first Zeppelin appeared it was evident that the raid ers were of the new and larger type. This has been borne out by the two brought down. v One of the burning Zeppelins, in fall lng, crashed through a row of trees in Essex, two of which pierced the lattice work of the envelope supports. The village fire engine was quickly on the scene and began putting water on the blazing wreck. Police constables and volunteers re moved the bodies as rapidly as possible. Some of these were charred beyond recognition, while others were still white and recognizable. All appeared to be young men, well clad and wear. ng the remnants of stout leather coats and shoes of rather poor quality, which is taken to Indicate that good footwear is not plentiful in Germany. Thousands of persons journeyed to Essex to view the wrecks,- but quick precautions prevented souvenir hunters from making away with everything de tachaDle. Householders along tne thorough fares heard the bomb explosions grow ing louder and louder as the raiders came with the speed of an express train, took their baptism of fire calmly as they passed, and heaved a sigh of relief as the reports diminished in the distance.

He has written" the fol- lowing statement for the Associated Press. "I was glad to get permission to visit the Italian front, so different from the other fronts in that it is moun tainous.

The services in the Greek church in the Rue Georges Bizet were interrupted this morning by Greek student, who interposed an ob jection to the congregation's praying for the King and royal family of Greece. At the end of the ceremony the student rushed into the pulpit and began to harangue the congregation. This led to fisticufsf Inside the edi flee, which later were resumed outside the church, where the congregation lis tened to speeches expressing gratitude to France, and then dispersed, cheering France and Greece.

A measure supported by Count Andrassy and Count Apponyi and having as its purpose the conveying of the Austro- Hungarian delegation for considera tion of matters asserted to be press ing, was voted down In the Hungarian Diet tonight. Among the subjects to be thus considered were the federal government's alleged failure in diplo matic and military affairs connectea with the declaration of war by Rou mania and the invasion of Transylvania. The supporters of Count Tisza. the Hungarian Premier, have charged that the Andrassy and Apponyi factions in the Diet are overplaying slight mis takes on the part of the government with the object of succeeding to power themselves. Sulking Is Denied. During the debate Count Tisza made mention of the relations between the ual monarchy and the United States, referring to the charge that the Austro Hungarian was sulking and that this was the reason why thus far Vienna had failed to appoint a new Ambassa dor at Washington. Count Tisza denied that the government was sulking, add- ng: . In the relations between our Minis ter of Foreign Affairs and the Ameri can Ambassador there is nothing that could serve as a reason for such con tusion. "As usual in such cases, the repre- entation made by the member is only party justified. I can assure the hon orable house that all the factors con cerned in the monarchy lay the great est weight upon the relations with the United States: that we are far from sulking and 'that ultimately ways and means will be found to dispose of the matter. Government Is Defended. It is understood that Count Tlsza's reference had to do with the appoint ment of another Ambassador to the United States. Count Apponyi criticised the Austro- Hungarian. foreign minister. Baron Burian, expressing fear that the minis ter might overlook a chance to make an advantageous peace. . Count Tisza again defended the Aus tro-Hungarian policy of Baron Burian. He pointed out that the monarchy's en emies had all acted from the basic principle that they would attack Austria-Hungary not matter what was done, no matter what concessions were made, that nothing, for instance, would have prevented Italy and Roumania from entering the war. The Premier paid high compliment to tne AUStronungarlan and German a mies and all the other allies of the central powers. Count Apponyi and Count Andrassy followed suit and were louaiy applauded by the entire house. PEACE TALK RIDICULED GERMANS HOLD GROUND BERLIN SAYS ALLIES' ATTACK SOMME FAILED.

Phelps Stokes, president of the Inter collegiate Socialist Society, at last night's session of the conference at Sherwood Forest, declared that it was because he was an ardent believer In peace that he believed "in the exercise of police power by democratically or ganized societies throughout their vast units, great as well as small." The topic of Mr. Stokes' address was Defensive Warfare," and he spoke in part as' follows: "He Is no good citizen who quietly acquiesces where wrong is done his fellow and when, being able to help. he does nothing, particularly If, being asked to help, he refuses. Doubtless a mere voice of protest will check a wrong at times, but often the wrong advances more rapidly than the voice can follow, and there are times when nothing can move swiftly enough to check it save the winged messengers of death. "Where the wrong is so flagrant as to grouse a whole people to Its mon strousness. war on the part of the out raged people may be not only right but essential.
