PAPAL CONCLAVE BEGINS TO VOTE FOR NEWLEADER Cardinals Merry Del Val and Ferrata Control Coalition of 25 Votes Against Cardinal Maffi. Dignitaries Take Oath and Settle Down to Choose New Head of Roman Catholic Church. BY LEASED WIRE. ROME, Aug. 31.-Attended by the most solemn and impressive ceremonies of the Roman Catholic church, the conclave which will elect a successor to Pope Pius X, convened in the Vatican today. , , This is the first conclave in many years over which the shadow of war has been cast, and the conditions prevailing throughout Europe, will exercise a powerful influence on the deliberations. , Cardinal Farley, of New York, was the only one of the three American cardinals present -when the religious services, which immediately preceded the opening ceremonies of the conclave, were conducted in the Basilica of St. Peter's cathedral. Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal O'Connell are expected on Wednesday. Command 25 ViteS.

Cardinal Merry Del Val, and Cardinal Ferrata have brought about a strong coalition which commands twenty-five votes. There are sixty-five members of the Sacred College, and ii all participate in the election it will require forty-four votes to elect. The coallation movement is aimed at the candidature of Cardinal Maffi,

who is supported by the Cardinals of

Germany and Austria, cardinal raiconio. who is a naturalized American,

and Cardinal Gasparri were regarded

as the two most likely compromise

candidates. Ready To Ballot.

The oath was pronounced by all the cardinals. After a short address by the

dean, the cardinals repaired to tne appointments which have been alloted to them. All persons not entitled to entrance into the conclave were excluded, and then followed ancient ceremonies such as the searching of the dark corners of the halls, and apartments to see that no person was hidden there. In order to hasten the election, the laws of the church provide that the prelates will get only one dish at dinner if there has been no choice at the end of the third day. After the fifth day, the cardinals must subsist on bread and water, until there is an election.

LONDON Heavy rains for the time being h&yp checked the

advance of the Germans on Paris. The Germans during the past

week have advanced fifty miles across French territory, but this

week, according to the English view there will come a decided

change in favor of the allies. The situation in the east looms large, but the conflicting statements from St. Petersburg and Berlin prevent an accurate estimate. The Russian statement that

Thorn and Grandenz have been taken by the Russians, and that the Austrians have been driven back in Lublin, is directly contradicted by German advices. It is realized that the Austrians must be disposed of before the Russian invasion of East Prussia and

Galicia can be established and the march on Berlin resumed. PARIS Excitement over the fact that the city will be besieged has given place to calm. The panic caused Sunday by the

dropping of bombs on the city has disappeared, and the people have become accustomed to the blowing up by dynamite of houses

in the suburbs. The people are carrying out the order of General Gallieni that no place be left that can afford shelter to the Germans. ST. PETERSBURG Russian armies have invested the German cities of Koenigsberg, Thorn and Grandenz, and Lemberg in Galicia. The German troops have been heavily reinforced, but cannot halt the advance of the Russians. The city of Allenstein is in the hands of the Russians, who are advancing on Osterod. Fighting has continued for nearly a week in the province of Lublin, the Austrians being driven back. (Russian war office announcement.) ST. PETERSBURG The reservists of 1907, numbering 500,000, have been granted six weeks' leave of absence. The Russian army has been completely mobilized, and is on the move. The 1907 reservists are not needed at present. (Russian war office announcement) . ANTWERP The evacuation of Diest by the Germans, and the German withdrawal from the entire northern part of Belgium was announced today by the Belgian war office. The disposition of the German troops leaving Belgium is not known. BOULOGNE The city is quiet. No sign up to Monday morning of German cavalry. Thousands of people have left. DUNKIRK, France German patrols have been seen within

20 miles of this city.

CALAIS The civil population is leaving here in large numbers for England. ROME Exchanges are passing between the Austrian and Italian governments. There is reason to believe that Italy will

maintain her position of neutrality. (Italian war office statement)

LONDON A British expeditionary force arrived at Samoa, German territory, on Saturday. (Official). TOKIO Vice Admiral Kato proclaims a blockade of the coast in the vicinity of Tsing Tao. BERLIN Officially announced that the Germans have taken 30,000 Russian. prisoners during the fighting in East Prussia. (By wireless via the Sayville, L. I. station). LONDON Fresh forces of Germans have appeared on the

Russian frontier.

LONDON Turkey may declare war at any moment. The

English embassy in Constantinople admits the situation is grave.

is proceeding steadily. Our allies are nearing Lublin, despite the fact that the Russians have been reinforced." (This is at variance with the' St. Petersburg version of the situation in Russian Poland. The Russian general staff states that the Austrians that entered the province of Lublin had to withdraw to aid Lemburg). "The English troops sent to France have been cut off from their base and will be unable to receive reinforcements. The entire campaign as mapped out by the German general staff has been successful." A long list of wounded was published by the war office today. Most of the casualties listed were suffered by the troops of Gen

eral Von Heeringen in his campaign in the Vosges, where the war

office admits the French are making a firm defense. Several

trains carrying injured have already arrived here. Most of them

are taken to the Temple Hofer Hospital.

On Sunday the Crown Princess visited that hospital and later had flowers sent there. She is taking active part in the work of

the Red Cross and has given liberally to its funds.

WARRING POWERS

EXPECT DECISIVE BATTLE THIS WEEK

BY LEASED WIRE. LONDON. Aug. 31. Lieutenant Ash-mead-Bartlett, one of the most brilliant European war correspondents, calls this the "critical week of the war' and says that It will go down so laGerman history. "Although the battle line 'of the allies in the north has been driven back fifty miles within th past week, the British' so Idlers stand' higher in the estimation of the allies than ever. "Up to the present time Germans have enjoyed an enormous strategical advantage," sayB Bartlett. "They have strained every effort to gain the main profit from it, but so far they have singularly failed. They have inflicted no crushing defeat nor have they yet captured the British army, a feat which they have striven ot accomplish since the English soldiers came to the continent. They have pushed back the allies line from the Sambro to the Somme, and they have overrun with masses of cavalry all of northeastern

France. They are even reported to be in possession of Boulogne, thus cutting the British army's natural line of communication, and forcing us to adopt a new base. Use Heavy Forces. " That is the absolute extent of their successes. To achieve this result the Germans have brought into the firing line almost every available man of their regular army, and of their reserve divisions. We know this from the published statements of Emperor William. The Kaiser said: ""In spite of our successes and continued victories it is necessary to employ the Landstrum to guard the lines of communication in Belgium as they of my army is required on the firing line.' This is a straightforward confession of the true situation. The German nation's last reserve force has been called to the colors, not to serve

at home, but within a foreign territory and this within three weeks of the

beginning of war.

"This gives us an indication of the

desperate straights of the German army. The German armies have suf

fered enormous losses of life; their

finest and most reliable corps were

pushed upon the firing line to suffer.

Their bravest officers have fallen and

the force of the survivors is nearly spent.

"A decisive trial of strength must

take place between the two armies during the next few days."

Believe Paris Safe.

Another war correspondent who has

been in the war zone for five days

talking with soldiers who were engeg-

ed in battle, says:

"Paris is still safe. Nothing that has

happened gives cause for despair."

This statement, it may be explained,

comes from an English correspondent

whose sympathies would naturally be with the allies.

It is not known definitely how

many reinforcements the British war office has sent, but France is calling out two hundred thousand more re

serves to battle against, the German legions. While the losses of the Germans have been colossal, the allies have also suffered in terrific proportions. Earl Kitchener's admission that 6,000 fell in one week of fighting, gives an idea of how many more must have perished since August 26, during which time the fighting has been furious and continued.

Dr. John Hill and Glenn

Frank Engage in Political Wrangle Before Chautauqua Audiences.

"If the 'big stick' were in the presi

dential chair at the present time, this country would be at war with Mexico

and we would have a lot of widows and orphans to take care of," was the statement of Dr. John Wesley Hill at Chautauqua yesterday. To this Glenn Frank replied that Roosevelt was an ideal man and that all his actions, whatever they were, were the result of deep logical thought. Present day politics became entangled in the lectures Sunday afternoon and evening and the audiences were given two discourses on political ideals in the lectures of John Wesley Hill and Glenn Frank, both of New York.

Glenn Frank, the man who gave a most powerful sermon in the morning, changed his subject in the evening from his announced lecture "Morals and Machinery?" to "Lost in the Crowd," in which he answered many of the arguments proposed by Dr. Hill in the afternoon. Present day political leaders were frequently brought into the discussions by the two speakers. Although he ha3 a reputation as being one of the most brilliant speakers on the Chautauqua platform, the afternoon audience did not wholly agree with Dr. Hill. His subject was "Relig

ion and Politics," in which he dwelt almost entirely upon pointing out the weaknesses in the church and in the politics of the country. Admires W. H. Taft. Dr. Hill was for six years pastor of the Metropolitan temple located in the business section of New York. He is at the present time president of the International Peace Forum, with headquarters at New York. He was appointed under the Taft administration to a position in the Phillipine islands and is a personal friend of the expresident. He was a member of the Taft's party in the tour made across the continent prior to the last presidential election. He said that the same trouble affects the church that is affecting politics. People are too narrow and bigotted. He frequently referred to the narrowness of the Progressive party and lauded the work of ex-president

BY LAWRENCE EL8TON (Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.) LONDON, Aug. 31. The terrific charge ot the Germans in the deadly artillery Are directed by the British at Mons is described in a dispatch received by the Times today, from its correspondent at Amiens. He states that the following account of the fight which occurred several days ago, was given to him by a non-commissioned British officer who had been wounded: "As the Germans came into view in the open in front of our hastily dug trenches, our men opened on them with steady fire that never went wide. We could see, after each of our volleys, clean cut gaps in the ranks of the enemy, but they were a game lot. They kept on closing up the gaps in their ranks as though tbey were so many marionettes. "Flesh and blood, however, could

not Etand that sort of thing forever, and after a while, the Germans began to come along with less confident 8ep. Once the advance of the line halted and the men looked about them

in a dazed sort of way as we contin

ued to rain lead into them.

"Soon the first lines failed from view and another line of the army,

fresh, and determined, took their

places, and offered themselves as tar

gets for our guns. After a while those who were lett in that advancing line

retreated and another line took its

place. This line stood up under our fire as long as it could, then it too gave

way to another line. So it continued

"These tactics were pursued for

hours. Each new line, no matter how

much lead we poured Into it, made to slight advance, and when after a half dozen lines had taken turns in fighting their way towarus us, the Germans hurled themselves upon our trenches. "And then it was that we sprang our. trap. The Germans bad forgotten that we might have cavalry and we did. It was in hiding. Just as the Germans came over the breastworks, the cavalry emerged from its hiding and bore down upon the German soldiers. After a brief battle with horsemen, the Germans broke and ran. pursued by our cavalrymen. They were cut down and only a very few escaped. "The actions of those Germans, when captured has shown us that thej aate us ten times worse than they do the French. Some of the prisoners have told us they are sure that if England had not joined with France the Germans would be in Paris now dictating terms of peace."

about the peace of the European countries at war. He also praised the work of Wilson in preventing war with Mexico. Praises Roosevelt. "For men to cling to traditions in politics is as wrong as for men to cling to tradition in religion " said Glenn Frank in the evening as a partial answer to the stirring remarks made by Dr. Hill. Dr. Frank decided to change his subject after he had

heard the address by Dr. Hill. j "Men should be intelligent along all j lines," he said. "Things should bej looked at from the present point of i view, politics, religion and every line j

termed him "an ideal man in concentrating his mind upon any subject. His conclusions were always based on serious thought," he said. He criticized tne speaker of the afternoon in that he merely sugested evils in present-day institutions but did not suggest remedies. He also said that he took a too partisan view of questions.
