Washington, Sept. 17. Government

of the constitutionalists and favorable
to the Cowdrav interests.

apologized to the United States for the
utterances yesteruay oi car uionm, m

Administration officials had char-
ncterized Cardeu's critisism as "the
outburst of a disgruntled diplomat."
A prominent diplomat here said today
he would not be surprised if France
withdrew her ambassador to Mexico be
cause of the manuer in which nuus and
priests had been treated by constitu
tionalists. He said every indication
imint-ed to General Carranza having dif
ficulty in getting recognition of the
Riirniienn rtowers.
It was reported today that Garden's
removal was peremptory, General Car
ranza not bavins made any representa
tions to England or having asked for
his withdrawal. Before Ambassador
Spring-Bice voiced England's apology
he attempted to reach Garden's steam
ship in an effort to either confirm or
deny the interview in which Cardeu was
quoted as saying that President Wilson
ordered the removal of the troops from
Vera Cruz just when they were most
needed.

many's first line of troops ia East
Prussia was being withdrawn today.
It was taken for granted here that
the troops were, for the time, more
urgently needed in Prance thaa on the
eastern frontier.
At lenst a half dozen corps were said
to have been transferred.
Bnsing t'.ieir opinion on these with
drawals from the east, military experts
sstid they did not believe any important
German invasion of Russinn territory
would be attempted at present. They
thought the kaiser was already too fully
occupied in the west to p.is-h an offen
sive campaign to the eastward.
It was the impreson lie re that the
Russians themselves would not under
take operations on an important scale
in East Prussia, a thinly settled, marshy
country through which the road to Bit
lin would be considerably longer than
the one farther to the southward by
way of Silesia.
Preliminary to an advance through
Silesia, it was necessary, however, to
crush the Austrians and it was di.'t'i
cuit to tell in advance how long this
would take. In the meantime the fillies
were hard pressed in Franc? and it was
important to create an immediate diver
sion. The quickest way of doing this v-is
to invade East Prussia. It was done,
accordingly, the ruse worked, the kai
ser weakened his western force to
strengthen his eastern one and the re
sult was that he lost the battle of the
Marne.
This having been done, the experts
surmised that the East Prussian cam
paign would lapse, and that the Rus
sians, instead, would finish the Aus
trians and push on toward Berlin
through Galicia, Silesia and Branden
burg. In East Prussia it was raining heav
ily and the country in which the troops
were operating was a vast swamp.
Concentrate at Cracow.
Petrogrnd, Sept. 17. Austrian and
German forces were concentrating at
Cracow today, according to news from
the southwestern fighting zone.
The Russians were crossing the River
San with a view to flanking the re
treating Austrians.
Austrian prisoners of war attributed
their armies' defeats to the number of
untrained troops used to oppose the
Russians.
They explained that when 'the war
broke out, the best of Austria forces
were in the field against the Servians.
Eater, instead of rushing the first
line into Galicia to resist the Russian in
vasion, the general staff threw it into
Russian Poland.
The Petrograd governmen; 's intention
is to use its prisoners of war in build
ine roads, reclaimimi swamps and on
other public works.

German Story Presents Sec
ond Battle and Retreat in
Entirely Different Light
(By William Os Shepherd.)
Bordeaux, Sept. 17. Along the River
Aisne tho French are winning their
great battle with the Germans, War
Minister Millerand declared today.
The first big engagement of the cam
paign, he explained, was that of the
Meuse and Sambre, ending in the allies'
retreat; tho second was that of the
Marne, followed by a German retire
ment; the third was that of the Aisne,
which the war minister said confidently
tho allies would win.
All official reports showed, he
pointed out, that the Germans were now
fighting in the open, proving that their
positions had been forced and that' the
advantage was with the French tni
British.
After the great German army, which
the kaiser's subjects lind deemed in
vincible, should bo decisively beaten,
Millerand asserted that the teutonic
ruler would face a revolution.
Of the strategy of General Joffre,
the French commander, the war min
ister spoke in the highest terms.
At the outset, the minister explained,
Joffre retreated, allowing the British
(By Ed L. Keen.)
London, Sept. 17. Though fighting
with desperate courage, Germany's
forces in France were retiring today at
their center and left, the war office
announced this afternoon.
Their right was said to be trying fur
iously to resmno the offensive but had
failed thus far, it was stated, and the
war office added that what slight ad
vantage hail been gained was in the
allies' favor.
Advices from Holland were to tho
effect that the kaiser was strengthen
ing his Rhine defenses. This was taken
here as suggesting that he anticipated
a retirement to that lino.
In fact, along the Lorraine border, it
was said the Gorman forces hnd al
ready been cleared from French terri-j
tory and the natural next step, it was
assumed, would be a Gallic invasion,
such as has already occurred m upper
Alsace.
As for the German center, under the
Crown Hrinee, it had been driven hack
tu some places from eight to- 5 miles.
In East Prussia it was understood
the wet season had set In and it was ex
pected the snows would soon make
campaigning there difficult if not im
possible. It was believed, therefore, that the
German general staff would devote
most of its energies to the fighting in
the west.

Cold Drizzle Falls.
Paris, Sept. 17. Fighting was in
progress northeast of Paris today in a
cold drizzle and it was believed here
that the rainy season had set in, BOme
whnt earlier than usual.
The theory was that this would ham
per the Germans much more than the
French, especially as it would make it
difficult for them to move their heavy
artillery.
The invaders wore reported so short
of food that tfiPV were cooking oats with
what little beef thev were able to
secure, to eke out their rations.
The French, on the other hand, were

Harmony between the students of
Willamette university, the faculty and

tiio year this morning, appears to bo
the keynote for the year's work at this
historic institution. This spirit of co
operation was made manifest from ev
ery quarter und seemed to nut new life
and spirit into students, faculty and
trustees. With this auspicious begin
ning, it is believed by everyone that
Willamette university opens to the
brightest year of its long and varied
history.
This morning's session was impres
sive, not only on account of the large
number of prominent people of-the state
who wore on the program and who oc
cupied the platform, but nlso from the
expressions of good will, of co-operation
and of work for the best interests of
tho school that represents the sacrifice
and endeavor of the pioneer fathors.

were declared to be so cheerful that
they sang as they fought.
The Franco-British and Ger
man forces in France were
locked today in another death
embrace.
Their lines swept, from a
point a little southwest of Laon,
along the River Aisne toward the
frontier and thence southward
along the border, through the
Vosges and into 'Alsace.
The situation was most critical
for the allies along the Aisne.
Here the Germans were mak
ing titanic efforts to resume the?
offensive, break through the al
lies' line and make a fresh drive
upon Paris.
The kaiser's forces'had been
strengthened by the rushing of
many teutonic troops from Bel
gium to the front and by heavy
withdrawals from East Prussia
to aid in the fight.
The allies had been reinforced
from Paris and the Oise region.
They were hard pressed but
holding their own.
It was admitted that their
losses in the past two days had
been the heaviest since the war
began.
At the German center, about
Verdun, where the German
crown prince commanded, the
kaiser's forces had been driven
back, in places, from eight to

The Germans are still maintaining their

The Franco-British allies, it was de
clared, have exhausted themselves by
vain attacks on tho kaiser's lines.
The allies were declared to be every

The war office explained that the
battle of the Marne was not a German
defeat but that the speed of their
march into French territory had Worn

deemed best to give them time to rest.
Conditions were not suitable for this in
