Newspaper Page Text2 THE SrOTlXTVG ORTSnONTAT. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER SO. 191 G. AMERICAN AVIATOR EMBITTERS BERLIN Death of Rockwell in France Text of Charges This Na tion Is Unneutral. HINT OF REPRISAL GIVEN Editors Declare United States ls Misusing Present Form of Sub marine Warfare Proof of feeling Is Seen. OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS French. PARIS, Sept. 29 The text of today's official statement follows: "On the Somme front our troops escorted fresh progress between Fregl court and MorvaL Both north and south of the river, there have been artillery engagements of varying in tensity. - "During- the day yesterday, a Fokker aeroplane was attacked by our pilots and crashed to the ground north of Rheiras. Another Fokker was hit and badly damaged and dived head first into its own line." BERLI.V, Sept. 29, via London, Sept. 80. Immediately on the heels of the utterances of the Imperial Chancellor in the Reichstag concerning the subma rine campaign, the afternoon papers generally print strong criticism of the neutrality of the United States, based on the news of the death of the Ameri can aviator, Kiffen Rockwell, and the presence of other American aviators on the western front. They connect this evidence of Ameri can sympathy for the entent allies and the supplying of war materials by firms in the United States as an indi cation of the futility of concessions to the American viewpoint with regard to submarines. They declare that these facts show how American respect for neutrality is vanishing and how Amer ica is misusing the present form of submarine warfare to cover the active participation of American concerns in the war on the side of the entente allies. Death of Aviator Made Test. The Lokal Anzeiger under the head ing "American Neutrality" prints the lollowing: "With a naivette which must appear astonishing even in a war which over turns ordinary conceptions of interna tional law and neutrality, the Paris Matin announces that Aviator Rock well, one of the best-known American airmen, has fallen in aerial battle. The Matin does not attempt to dispute the fact, long known to us, that at Verdun an aero troop known under the name of the American aviation squadron par ticipated in the fighting. "We all know that, impelled by love of peace and chary of human sacrifices, we made, concessions to America, and now see with astonishment that the concessions have resulted only in the further supply of the entente with ammunition and guns. We now see further how our conciliatory attitude directly has been misused on the Amer ican side, and Americans can, there fore, reach the enemy and fill important positions. Adventurous Spirit Not Condemned. "We are acquainted naturally with the love of adventure in the American blood and we do not condemn it. We also would have no occasion whatever to pay attention to the exercise of this passion, if we had not believed that the concessions of the United States would be sufficient for honorable men to bridle the strongest Inclinations to ignore the most natural obligations of neutrality. "If, however, as the afore-mentioned facta seem to show, we have erred In this assumption, we must naturally re gret to have made concessions which are misused and which show to us what degree the feeling and respect for the conception of neutrality have been lost by Americans and by the entente We still believe it will be possible for the American Government to take measures that the concessions made to it shall not undergo usages to which under no circumstances we can submit on the part of American citizens. Long War Blamed on America. The Vossische Zeitung in ah article written by its military critic on the American aviation squadron, points out that the entente allies have an Im mense advantage in being supplied from "neutral" America with war ma terials to a degree with which Ger many can compete only by the utmost efforts. The newspaper argues that the war long since would have been over if it had not been for American sup plies. It says the longer the war lasts the American attempts to throw a mantle over its so-called neutrality and "the appearance of American aviators in the ranks of our enemies betrays the de gree of neutrality which America in the future intends to maintain." The Tageblatt says: "The American conduct may be regarded as proof of how American feeling and respect for the principles of neutrality are vanish ing." Such stalwart organs as the Taglische Rundschau, the Tages Zeitung and Die Post all connect the news of the Amer ican aviation corps with the subma rine issue as a basis for the argument that moderation in the use of Ger many's undersea weapons merely serves to further American assistance to the entente allies in men and munitions. Count Iteventloir Criticises. The Tages Zeitung devotes a lead ing article, which does not need the Jk? signature to betray its Count von Reventlow origin, to the late Earl YKitchener's alleged etatement to W. Cameron Forbes, ' ex-Governor-General o!f the Philippines, that the entente al lies would never be able to conquer Germany without the assistance of the United States. It characterizes the Amarican nolicv as a nolicv in which theUnited States is making a threat ened use of a wooden sword and calls for a policy of the utmost firmness against the United States. In an article on Aviator Rockwell the Tages Zeitung says: "It is self-evident that this unneu- , tral favor and support of our enemies cannot be permitted permanently by Germany. America itself cannot doubt that its conduct arouses universal in dignation in Germany. We are con vinced that the whole German nation is united in believing that just as the American deliveries of munitions laugh to scorn American assurances of hu manity and love of peace, so this sup port of our enemies by American avia tors constitutes an insult to neutrality." British. LONDON, Sept. 29. An attack by British troops on the Somme front early today resulted In the capture of a strongly defended farm 600 yards southwest of Le Sars, the War Office announces. The official statement fol lows: "The night was quiet on the greater part of our front. The positions we have won north of Thiepval were heavily shelled. Our bombing parties were active in the neighborhood of yie Schwahen redoubt and the Hessian trench, parts of which are still held by the enemy. "A strongly defended farm 600 yards southwest of La Sars was captured by our troops early this morning. 'North of Ypres (two miles south of Bertincourt) and southeast of Bapaume our aeroplanes observed a huge ex plosion, as if a large ammunition dump had blown up. The smoke ascended 9000 feet." Tonight's supplementary statement says: "Rain fell heavily today and except for intermittent shelling there was little activity on our center and right wing on the battle front. On the Somme progress was made east of Les Boeufs, where we occupied BOO yards of enemy trenches. In the Thiepval area there was heavy fighting around the Stuff re doubt. Having taken an Important section of the Hessian trench, we were forced out of it by a counter-attack but regained it later in the day. In this section during the last 24 hours we have taken prisoner eight officers and 621 men. "In spite of the weather, our aero planes have done useful work attack ing the enemy's reinforcements on the Meuse. Enemy aircraft yesterday patrolled actively behind their own lines, but showed little enterprise. One enemy machine was destroyed. ,One of our machines has not returned. Serbian.

On the Black Sea a Russian cruiser bombarded Mangalia for 80 minutes. There were no casualties. "Our aeroplanes successfully at tacked two enemy destroyers at Tuzla and at Tuzladschakio." Friday's War Moves STEADILY the British troops are pushing forward toward the Fe-ronne-Bapaume road, the main artery behind the German lines north - of Combles. After taking 500 yards of trenches southwest of Lesars, General Sir Douglas Halg's men made addi tional progress in the capture of 600 yards of German trenches east of LesBoeufs. The British occupancy of the terri tory between Thiepval and the Ancre is being contested strongly by the Ger mans. A German counter attack after the entry of the British Into a section of the Hessian trenches resulted in the forcing out of the holders. The section Accordingly, he decided to obtain a share when the robbery of the dead body began. Furthermore, the entente powers had a freer hand In conducting negotiations than others. Serbia had been conquered and the protectors of small, feeble states were no longer obliged to show any consideration for Serbia's former wishes in regard to annexation of territory. They could be more liberal toward Roumanla. King; Promises Neutrality. "In the middle of August Bratiano came to terms with our enemies. He reserved for himself, however, the de cision as to the time actual hostilities were to be Inaugurated and attempted to make it dependent on military con ditions. The King of Roumania up to that time had repeatedly given the most binding assurances that und- all circumstances he would remain neutral. Finally the Roumanian Minister in Ber lin, on the order of the King, gave to me a formal declaration that the King desired to maintain Roumania's neu trality and that the government was In a position to do so. Premier Bratiano declared to the German Minister at Bucharest, Baron von Bussche-Hadden-lsausen. that he fully Indorsed the declaration of the King. "However, we were not deceived. We were Informed continuously in regard to Bratiano'b negotiations during Au gust and constantly directed the King's attention to the secret intrigues of his Prime Minister. The King declared several times that Bratiano was bound or binding himself to the entente.

LONDON, Sept. 29. The address of the German Imperial Chancellor, Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg. in the Reichs tag is more remarkable for what ls omitted than for what it said, accord ing to Lord Robert Cecil, Minister or War Traae. who, in discussing the speech with the Associated press toaay, declared the most significant fact in connection with the Chancellor's utter ance was his failure to mention Bel Eium; Lord Robert said: "There is a definite cnange in tne tone of the speech over the previous efforts of the Chancellor. Une talK or a complete German victory is entirely absent. Another remarkable tning was that there was not a word about Bel gium. The significance of this is prob ably that he was unable to say any thing about Belgium, as his listeners can be assumed to be the whole world and he was bound to offend a section of it if Belgium were mentioned. Equally he would offend his own peo ple if he expressed a determination to give up that country. Denunciation of England Not TTew. "Dr. Von Bethmanri-Hollweg's de nunciation of England contained nothing really new. It was merely the old trick of attempting to convince our allies that we are trading on their efforts and bleeding them to death in the process, but recent events on the Somme ought to convince him of his error.

Further sacrifices are necessary. This or that trench, and this or that village may be lost. But they will not push through our lines. It ls assured by our commanders and by the Incomparably brave troops from RaMlaa Advance Stopped. On the east front, the great Russian attack to break through was stopped by the troops of Archduke Charles and General von Llnsingen. Attacks west of Lutsk, on the Narayuvka River and in the Carpathians then followed, but also broke down. There also the fighting will con tinue. There also It is absolutely cer tain that the line will be maintained by the heroism of our armies. In the Balkans, the entente powers planned to split our alliance to Inter rupt communication between Germany and the near east to crush Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria-Hungary one after the other and then to throw all their forces against isolated Germany, The Chancellor at this point asked what had been gained by the army of General Sarrail (the French commander at Saloniki) and by Roumania's treason and answered the question as follows The situation of our faithful brave allies ls unshaken.

It ls quite possible that the strain Imposed by the war may have caused his death, as the King was an old man, but also it ls quite possible that that theory of the cause of death may be based on Dr. Von Bethmann- Hollwegs Imagination. Lord Robert said that he believed the German Imperial Chancellor was sincere in his declaration that Germany was waging war with every possible in strument. Continuing, he said: "The lull in submarine warfare is due to a shortage in submarines. The only change I note ls that no British passenger liner has been sunk since the Sussex.

"This report ls untrue, as I state nubliclv In this place." he said. "It is the oDDoslte of the trutn. ine arrange ment of public life in Russia, whether autocratic or constitutional, is merely Russia's business. I abstain complete ly from criticism.

They want to destroy our national life. The Germany which Lngland wants to lay at her feet is a country without military defense, a country crushed economically, boycotted by the entire world and sentenced to lasting Infirm lty. England Is Bitterest Enemy. "When this German competition shall have been eliminated, when France has lost all her blood, when all her allies of war must toil as England s slaves in the financial life, when the neutral world of Europe must folow each Eng lish command and submit to every British blacklist, then England will build on devastated Germany her dream of English world dominion.
