Russian Successes No Doubt Having Big Effect On
Rumania Which Was Scared by Austrian Strength On
Balkan Borders
Fetrograd, Oct. 14. The Russian
steam roller is going full tilt. Tho
.Slav successes continue. From DVinsk
to Gnlicist, they ore gaining now vic
tories constantly, it was officially
claimed today.
llliixt in the Dvinsk region, the
Kcene of violent figating, for days past,
ix still a center of action. Though tlie
Teutons claim to hold the town proper,
the war office statement reported a vic
tory for the Slavs at the heights to the
northwest, followed by repulse of all
German counter attacks.
South of the Pripet river on the
bank of the Styrn, north of Rufnlovka,
Germans were driven out in disorder.
Several villages were captured, hun
dreds of Teutons were taken prisoner,
ind a number of guns were captured.
The Slav successes along the Strypa
:ire complete. Their capture of Gutvor
onkp marks the crumbling of the form
er successes of the Austrians in Galicia,
and may have a vital effect on the Ru
manian situation, in view of the fact
that this nation was undoubtedly sup
posed to be impressed by the Austrian
strength near the border of the Bal
l.uus. German Lobsbs Enormous.

sons are known to have perished and
property loss estimated at $(10,000, was
caused by a fire which swept Clover

oificially.
Sunday nigiit, Serbians repulsed two
Teuton attacks and recaptured a vil
lago in the Seiuerevo district. Two
night attacks on the fortress of Seiu
erevo were heavily repulsed.
Masked with protectors, the Serbians
charged through a sea of asphyxiating

London, Oct. 14. Cooperation of
Kussinn troops witli the allied forces in
the Balkans "the moment they are
available" wus promised by Sir Ed

Plans Not Agreed On But
Tentative Plan Seems At
tractive to Board
Washington, Oct. 14. The army's
part in the nationul defense program
was discussed today by President Wil
son nnd Chairman Hny of the house
military affairs committee. Secretary
Garrison's army reorganization plan
was before them, financial coosiderii
tions were uppermost, as both were un
derstood to regard Garrison's previous
plans as too costly. Whut the limit
should be was tentatively considered, in
view of increases figured nt from 50,
000,000 to $00,000,000 above last year 'a
appropriations.
The proposed addition of 20,000 men
to the present force of M7.000 regulars
would be nt an estimated cost of ,$15,
000,(100, while more and heavier guns
for coast and field artillery would add
another 410,000,000 or $15,000,000. The
increase in ammunition, supplies and
reserves would cost $5,000.0011.
Officials hope to keep the army bud
get under 175,000,000, an increase of
from 50,000,000 to 00,000,000 over
last year's figures.
Proposed short teii.i enlistments to
increase the number of military trained
citizens, who would form n reserve, was
also discussed in today's scssien.
The amount to be nslted fur navy ap
propriations this vcari it is understood,
will be around 2iO.000.000. This
amount includes estimates for dreud
naughts and submarines thnt would ma
terially increase the strength and effic
iency of the navy.

International Peace Congress
Would Take This Step To
wards Ending the War
Sou Francisco, Oct: 14. President
Wilson will be asked, personally, and
soon, to call a conference of nentrui
nations to halt the l-'uropeuu war. In
the closing session of the International
P;:.co congress, Dr. DiviJ Starr .lordan,
nitcd pence advocate, was delegated to
e ti e president nu.l to present rcsol
tions calling for such a conference.
The proposed conference, under the
congress resolution, would constitute a
continuing court of mediation.
The congress developed some differ
ence of opinion over clause declaring
"while we don't urge disarmament un
der present conditions, we are opposed
to the present wide-spread demnnd for
preparation against hypothetical dang
ers." Over the opposition of the
"peace at any price" delegates, the
congress adopted this virtual approval
of present armaments. They condemned,
however, having on congressional com
mittees or governmental advisory
boards, men personally interested in the
manufacture of munitions.
President Against It.
Washington, Oct. 14. President Wil
son, is not disposed at present' to call a
pence conference of neutral nations,
according to tliose in tne conterence or
the White House today. Appropos of
the resolution of the International
Peace congress at San Francisco yester
day, seeking such a conference, it was
pointed out that similar suggestions
from Scandinavian otrieiuts ana me
pope had not met with a favorable re-
soonse from the president. Further, it
was understood, lie tins not cnangea nis
ouiinon that the time is not now oppor
tune to make any decided move toward
nence.
Officials admitted, however, that the
San Frnueisco meeting ruisod a .new
question, when they suggested the im
propriety of having on government
boards, persons interested in the sale
or production of munitions. It was be
lieved here that the criticism was
filmed at such men as Hudson Maxim
and engineers, inventors and experts
of the General Electric company and
other similar' war supply corporations
who arc on the unvnO udvisory board.

England's Delay Cause of
Bulgaria Joining Teutons
By J. W. T. Mason.
(Written for tho United Press.)
New York. OeV 14 The rnsimintion
of Theophile Delcasse as minister of
foreign affairs of France, was almost
certainly due to the refusal of the
British and French governments to fol
low his advice about tho best way . of
dealing with the Balkans. England's
foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey, was
given control of negotiations with the
Balkans. Grey's failure in these ne
gotiations was apparently Pelcasse's
reason for no longer supporting the
Britisher's methods.
Delcasse always was a strong advo
cate of prepared diplomaoy.
In the present instance preparedness
meant the dispatch of a large army, for
quick action, through Greece to check
the Teutons at the Serbian border, and
to overcome the Bulgarians. This army
ought to have been sent early in the
course of the diplomatic battle at Sofia

' With Criticism
London, Oct. 14. In tho most
destructive Zeppelin raid of the war,
Germans last night over London killed
41 nnd wounded 101, it was officially
announced today.
Of this number 14 killed and 13
wounded were soldiers; and the others
were civilians.
Resolutions were adopted in a mass
meeting presided over by Lord Wil
loughby DeBrokc, calling upon the gov
ernment to announce formally a pollcyJ
of reprisal raids, against Germany
" raid for raid."
"The only way to hit the enemy is
to strike him ns he has struck us, and
to bombard sleeping towns,." said the
Globe commenting oil the meeting'.
' London, Oct. 14. Besides leaving In
their wake eight dead and 34 wounded.
Zeppelin raiders over Loudon last night
left Britons angered at their govern
ment for not providing better nerial
defense.
This indignntiou found expression in
bitter denunciation of the government's
delay in making reody to drive off the
air invaders.
"People who went to business thii
morning amid the spectacle of shuttered
window fronts," said the Globe, "may
be forgiven if they woirdcr how long
this sort of thing will bo allowed to go
without effective mciiguros to check '
"We have a new scheme of defense
but it did not defend us. The plain
facf is, that, upnrt from the wind and
the weather, London has not adequate
protection against Zeppelins."
The Fall Mall Oaijetto added this sar
castic comment: "It IB permissible to
hope that we will soon have a corps of
naval gunners who can really dis
tinguish between a Zeppelin and a
star." -

Further evidence that the busiest

When two men possessing strong
personalities, ns Delcasse and Grey da,
differ, one of them must eventimlly
retire.
It is probable that Grey counted too
much on past British prestige, in the
Balkans to swing affairs the allies'
way. Delcnsse on the other hand, no
ticed the decline of British influence
there, and urged preparation against an
unfavorable decision on Bulgaria's
part. (Srey prevailed, however, aud
failed in his mission.
Delcasse s resignation is in effect a
demnnd for an international eommis

in the future to control tne diplomatic
negotiations of the allies.
