Tho Balkan Situation. The Arabic incident and Germany submarine policy are the subject ot consideration at a conference now be ing beld at the eastern headquarter or the German army between Km peror William and Dr. von Bethmann Hollwcg, the German Imperial Chan cellor; Admiral von Tlrplta, German Minister of Marine, and Admiral -von Mueller, chief of the private marine cabinet and the Emperor personal adviser on naval affairs. No new concerning the conference has reach j ed Berlin. However, Admiral von Mueller is said to have thrown his In fluence with that of the Imperial Chancellor and Foreign Minister von J a STow tn an endeavor to reach an amkablo understanding with the Unr ted States.' For this, reason the opinion Is expressed in the German Capital that there is no cause- to change the optimistic view of the situ at ion created by Ioctor von Beth-mann-Iollwegs ronimneeiuent of last Wednesday, Untie PHvoKrad unofficially ex presMes the opinion Uuu the Rtnedaas are on the eve of digging themselves tn and making a stand on a new L front, there are no Indications as yet of a halt In their retrograde movement or of any let np u the force of the Teutonic onrush. , On the contrary, the Atwlro-Oer man offensive has broken out again In a sector where there had been com iwratlve Inactivity for the better part of two months part- In eastern tinll eia, where the lines along the Dnies ter, the Zlota Lips and Uio Gnlla Iipa liave changed only little since early July when the Teutonic armies swung north and began the closing In move ment which malted tn the Hussls.ll withdrawal frc-m the Warsaw salient. The Ttulan lines, Berlin claims, have now been broken along the Zlota J4pa and the Russians are In full re treat under energetic Austro-Germau pursuit. Apparently it Is the Teutonic aim completely to clear Gal Ida of IltMttian troops. The retreat of Grand Duke Nicho las' armies from BreM-Iitovak and the line to the north Is being harassed by ITeld Marshal von Mnckcnucn'a ar mies and those of prince Leopold of Bavaria, the latter having penetrated the Blclovtezh forest, while southeast of Blaljstok General, von Elchliorn lias pushed eastward as far as the town of Narew. In the North, however, where Vllna ami Dvtnsk are at stake, the Italian are ottering a itlll resistance,, At some points here, apparently, they have even taken the offensive. Berlin declares their attacks are repulsed. On the front tn France the anlDery and the airmen have been active but Infantry sallies from the trenches have i lieen lacking. Berlin says that French ! air attacks on Ostend, Mid-Mkerk and Itrugcs were without siHivsa, and that In Mud helm. luden, three per sons killed In a bomb attack were f!vtllans. - little dutnge In the situation In the Dardanelles la Indicated by recent ad vices, both oOkial and nnoffk-ial The losses of the Entente AU'es hi the at-1 wss lI.t7.J7e rmiared with a tack made at Anafarta while the re.halance of m.t:.oot In July. ll. cent landing was taking p'ace are de clared by a cerresponden; at Turkish headquarters to have-bcen extremely heavy, the killed alone being estimat ed at about 5,000.

I and main forces Invariably have kePt out of reach of the relentless pur suers. 1 Whether the Russians will be able to make a stand in the new position which they are said to have pre pared, the next few days should tell. There are reports that reinforce ments are being sent from the East to the Western and Serbian fronts but military, writers express the opin ion that so long as the Russian ar mies remain Intact, it would be dan gerous for the Austrlans and Ger mans to detach troops for operations elsewhere. There js no evidence of a German offensive in the West, while Serbian aviators report; the Austro-German force gathered at Orsova for a ru mored effort to force a way through Serbia and Bulgaria to render aid to Turkey, is not of the strength re ported. . On the Western front the activity of the airmen continues Six Ger man aviators attempted an attack on Paris but were driven off with the loss of one machine, while the Al lies, apparently the British, threw bombs on Ostend, MldJekerke and Bruges. On the Dunnes at Mlddel- kerke -the Germans- have some- t-, their most formidable batteries for use against attack from sea, while at Brutes the objective of the air men would be the canal and docks which are used extensively by the Germans for transport purposes. The Balkan situation still creates a areat deal of Interest and conrt- dence Is expressed that with Serbia showing a compromising attitude it will be settled to the advantage of the Entente Allies Serbia1 reply to the Allies, however, has not yet been delivered, and Bulgaria.

Eugene Gilbert, the French aviator who recently es caped from Switseriand after being interned there, returned to nwitser land and gave himself up tonight by order ot the French Government. Eugene Gilbert arrived In Paris on August 21 and reported for service at the French Ministry of War the following day. When tlrst interned in Switseriand. where he was forced by an accident to his motor to land last July, he gave his word not to attempt to escape. The order sending Gilbert back to Switzerland Is supposed to be based upon messages received from Berne stating that the Swiss general staff declared that Gilbert brose his pa role. deer m s:::pa CFt:iD1ic:::::iiorao Vanceboro, Me., Aug. tl.

NO E11BARG0 IN SIGHT Neutrality of President Real and I n- shaken by Calls for Retaliation Against England. Observer Bureau. Washington, Aug. 21. The new leader of the House, Claude . Kltchln of North Carolina, was in Washington for a few hours this week and spread some chilling interviews as he moved about the Capital. He took the warmth out ot the National defense campaign by saying that he would not stand for a b g Army or big ships. He is for the destructive -aubnmrlne, - but not the big dreadnaught which lies hid afraid to come out, lest a torpedo swat her, It Is a mistake to say that Mr. Kltchln opposes ''the plan" of the Wilson Admin stration , for National defense legislation. The Administra tion has not yet prepared a plan to present to Congress. President Vul son haa told Secretary Daniels and Secretary Garrison to take stock ot what they have and then make report to him. It Is safe to say that the Fres'dent's program when com pleted will be supported by Leader Kltchln, and that those who kick hardest wilt be the Hobsons, the Gardners and others who would bur den the country with an expensive Navy and a large standing Army President Wilson Is going Into the quest .on ot National defense as he goes into all important questions, with a view to getting the facts, and then mapping out a sane and ra snnable plan. It is also safe to say that It the President and Represent ative Kltchln should disagree as to the details of a National defense pro gram, and should lock horns over It, the tlrst horn to break would not be that ot the President. The people ot the country have great conndenoe in the man in the White House; he is stronger today than ever before, ne Is stronger than his party In the North. W est and East, and the South I always stands with a Democratic President. I PLATFORM SAID IT.

That Is where the Bemoerata sons.

Mediation Seen in Sub marine Adjustment WON BY piPLOIIACT German Government Anxious for Quick and friendly Termination of Submarine Dispute. Washington. Aug. SS. Count von Bernstorff, German Ambassador here, will leave Washington tomorrow for New Tork. to await instructions from his Government which ,he confidently expects will lead te negotiations that will bring a speedy and wholly at lafactory conclusion" , the entire con- : . troversy between the-I'nlted States and Germany wer the question, of submarine warfare. 1-nless the situ ation In lierlln wholly changes be fore the dispatches are sent, the Am bassador believes he will be authoris ed to re-open Informal diacusslons with Secretary banal nit to the end that a note may be framed by the Herman Government entirely satis factory to the United tSate. Ho far as the Htate Ivpartment is concerned, formal presentation of the Arabic case to Germany awaited receipt from Ambaedor Gerard at lierlln of the Herman Admiralty re port on the dealruction of the ship. lMapalchcs from Iterlln tonight suld the report might be made any day or might be delayed a fortnight. The last of the German submarines oper ating south of Ireland will not re turn to port before that time. I'ntil the Aclmlra ty ststement is received. however, and the Arabic case dispos ed of. It Is unlikely that a diacunslon f the broader question of submarine warfare will be re-opened. in German, circles here It la thrmly believed that the iterlln Gover kmrtit la anxious to bring to a quick snd a friendly termination the whole dimusslon over the submarine cam paign. The viatta of Count yon Iternntorff to Waahington, acting on Instruction from Iterlln. is viewed as conclusive proof that the liberal ele ment of the German Government ha triumphed and that every effort will he made to meet the views of res ident Wl'son as exprettiicd to tne AmbaMdor In an Interview soon al ter the I.nsttaiila was dct roved. As to the Arable case, it was posi tively stated today that whatever the German Admiralty report might be, the Iterlln Government would give aseurancea that Its submarine com mandera had received explicit ln troct.itns that no iuc!t Kor ahlpa b attacked without warning. It Is be lieved the Herman Government will seek to make it dear that as a Na tional policy the warfa. acnlnt paaenKrr ship has been suspended. Already offers of reparation for American lives loet with the h'p have been made Informally amt Atn bssdor llernalorff feel that arrliig sdjualment of minor details, the f 1 -lion between the two countries I st an end. - " Out of the relaxing tension of the j!ltu&UonjLJiewL.hiipeurpeax:iLinJ;u- roe ha wprung.
