Washington, Sept. 9—(Special to Daily Democrat)—lt is stated at the white house today that no protest from Emperor Wilhelm regarding the alleged use of explosive bullets by the allies had been received by the president. Paris, Sept. 9 —(Special to the Daily Demerat) —Ambasasdor Herrick today notified all Americans who are in the city without any real business to leave at once. He said the French government feels that Americans who ‘want to stay and see the fun” are not wanted. Bordeaux, Sept. 9—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Foreign Minister Delcasse today declared that he had confidential information showing beyond question that the interior situation in Germany is serious. He said: "Despite all efforts of the government to stimulate enthusiasm by news of vic-

tories, the people in Berlin and Germany in general are bowed in grief. Mourning is universal. Business is completely prostrated and the cost of living rises daily. The prices of refrigerated supplies 4tKt canned goods constantly advance, as do those on all fresh goods.” (By Von Wiegand) Berlin: (via wireless to UUnited Press) Sept. 9, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Army headquarters announced today that, the French fortress of Neubeuge has fallen before the German assault. Four generals 40,000 prisoners and 400 guns have been taken the announcement said. The victory is declared to be the greatest from the German standpoint since the war began. Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Ressen was wounded. 1 111 < London, Sept. 9, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The first German mine layer to be caught engaged in her destructive work was captured by a Britgunboat today. Two hundred mines were found on board. The location of the capture was eiminated by the British censor. Basle, Switzerland, Sept. 9, —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The report here is that the Germans have definitely evacuated upper Alsace because of the need of every available man in the fighting territory in eastern Prussia. This would indicate that the French can occupy Altkirch and Meulhausen at will. Paris, Sept. 9—(Special to Daily Democrat) —“Our successess are continued.” General Gallieni said today and added he believed that the defending army can be pushed forward to aid the British-French columns in their attempt to crush the German right wing. There was a spirit of confidence today among the officers though all admitted that the results of the battle are not yet decisive and will probably last for several days. The first advantages are with th allies and who are today said to be gaining ground held by the Germans Saturday and Sunday. Ghent. Sept. 9, — (Special to Daily Democrat) —The danger of serious reprisals at the hands of the Germans was averted today when the Burgomeister went before the German commander and explained that the shooting last night when machine gun fire killed a German officer, had been done by a Belgian military force over which he had no power. An arrangement had previously been made for the peaceful occupation of the city. The Germans accepted this explanation when promised adherence to the arrangements by the citizens of the town. Paris, Sept. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —From the French war office continues to come official announcements of successes by the allies over the Germans in the great struggle which is now going on in an easterly direction from Paris. The left wing of the German army, in their movement to retreat has crossed the Morin with a view to protecting their communications and have made violent, but unsuccessful attacks against the French forces occupying the right bank of the river Ourcq. The centers have had violent engagements, each side advancing and retreating alternately, but in no case have the French fallen back, the enemy losing ground at each encounter. The German troops were severely repulsed when they attacked our right wing, being forced to the north into the forest of Champenous. The left wing of the allied force continues to make progress against tire enemy near Paris and are slowly but. steadily forcing them back. There has been no change in the situation in Alsace. Paris, Sept. 9 —(Special to the Daily Democrat)- With hundreds of thousands of men engaged on both sides, the battle in full swing on the east of Paris promises to be the most important of the campaign up to the present. According to authentic information the casualties have been so great that the Germans have requested an armistice of twenty-four hours in which to bury their dead. This request was refused with this response: "We grant you that time to get out of France.’ Although the German retreat is general, official information shows that, the most stubborn resistance is being made on the German wing, it delivering several fierce but unsuccessful counter attacks. o PRESBYTERIAN ENDEAVORERS TO MEET The Christian Endeavor business meeting of the Presbyterian church will be held at the C. J. Lutz home Thursday evening. All the young people of the church are urged to be .present.
