ARMY CONTROLS NEW CENTER OF FRENCHJPOVER Authorities Proclaim Martial Law in Bordeaux Following: Occupation as New Seat of Government. War Department in New Quarters Keeps in Touch With Generals in Field by Wireless Equipment. BY LEASED WIRE. BORDEAUX, France, Sept. 4. Martial law was proclaimed here today, and French troops are now in control In the new capital of France. The various departments of government are working as smoothly as possible under the circumstances. The war department is in constant wireless communication with General Gallienl in Paris and General Joffre. the commander-in-chief, in the field. The government has issued a proclamation transferring the bank of France from Paris to this city in order to provide for the financial needs of the government. Thousands of refugees from Paris are coming to Bordeaux, and the city Is jammed. President Poincare held his first conference with his ministers in the new capital during the morning. They gathered at the residence in the prefecture, which President Poincare has taken for his home. The war office, which has been located in the University of Bordeaux, is open day and night. Representatives of foreign governments and of the various departments of the French government are settling down In such quarters as they can find. The public is giving constant demon strations of its patriotism, and the president and his ministers are loudly cheered with applause of the people.

DO THIEVES ALTER STOLEH BICYCLES Question Puzzles Police Who Suspect Existence of Organized Thievery. Is there an exchange for stolen bicycles in Richmond? The police believe such is the case. Bicycle thefts, while not numerous, have occurred with regularity for several months. None of the bicycles are recovered. The belief of the police is that boys have established In a barn somewhere, a shop where stolen bicycles are altered. There are several boys under suspicion, and arrests are expected within a few days. The police have not located the shop in which the alterations are being made. This is. their work now. It is believed that handlebars, seats, tires and wheels are changed, and that in some cases the frames of bicycles are repainted. This disguises the bicycles in such a manner that it would be impossible for even the owners to identify them. The police have not yet learned where the boys dispose of the bicycles. It is not thought probable that more than two or three are connected in he organized thieving, but that these pick up bicycles and ride them to their home, later taking them to the place where alterations are made. Most of the bicycles stolen are practically new.

WARII lAlliST FIRE Oil OLD DUMP SITE City Officials Ask Residents - to Refrain From Burning Big Bonfire. Board of works members and other city officials have issued warning to west side citizens that if the West Richmond dump fire is started again through bonfires, which will be built tonight, no attempt will be made by the city to extinquish the flames. After the expense and labor undergone by the city and city employes to put out the fire, the city officials feel they are justified in objecting to bonfires. The fire was first started by a west side woman more than a year ago, officials claim. They have her name. Jacob Kern, boilermaker, against whose property the fight for the condemnation of dump property is said to be really directed, has asked the police to protect his boiler factory and the material he has at the corner of First and Richmond avenue.

fore, I perform it without hesitation or apology. I come to advise very earnestly that additional revenue be riased for the government. "During the month of August, there was, as compared with the corresponding month oi last year, a falling ort of $10,629,538 in the revenues collected from customs. A continuation of v-is decrease in the same proportion throughout the current fiscal year would probably mean a loss of customs revenue of frim sixty to one hundred millions. "I need not tell you to what this falling off is due. It is due, in chief part, not to the reductions recently made in the customs duties, but the great decrease in importations; and that is due to the extraordinary extent oi the area affected by the present war in iiiurope. Conditions have arisen which no man foresaw; they affect the wnoie world of commerce and econo

mic production; and they must be fac

Herrick, the United States ambassador, is busily engaged preparing for a siege. He is urging all Americans to hurry to their homes at once while the way is clear. Concentration camps are being put up. Provisions are being brought into the city, and immense quantities of ammunition are being stored in the forts.

MAYOR RAISES BAN Oil WEARING STRAW Bobbins Grants Extension of Time Until Next Pay Day for City. Mayor Robbins hearkened to the cry of the straw hat and today granted it a fifteen day extension with a privilege of twenty days if the owners, twenty in number or more, will petition him and show .cause why straw hats should not be relegated. The mayor refused .to issue a proclamation to that effect, but made a verbal edict that there shall be no straw hat crushing. At least not until September 15, and possibly not until the twentieth of the month if the petition is filed before the fifteenth. Mayor Robbins went into consultation with several city hall attaches to determine whether or not the next" pay day should be set as the limit, but this met with strenuous opposal by the mayor himself. "We get paid on the last day of the month," he explained. "To appear until October 1 with a straw hat is out of the question. But I will stay with the bunchlAintil the fifteenth of this month of until the twentieth if twenty respectable citizens of good standing petition, me. Give the fellow with the one dollar sale hat a chance to get his money's worth."

MAY RE-DISTRICT CITY FOR SCHOOLS

KAISER'S ARMY

(Continued from Page One.)

No changes in the school districts have been announced by Superintendent Giles but it is probable that when enrollment of students next Monday is gone over, some districts will have to be changed to meet the accommodations of the buildings. Every year the city has to be redistricted owing to the shifting of school population and to the increased accommodations of some of the buildings compared with others.

Premier Asquith made it plain that )the government looks for a long, hard istruggle, and that England must call fBtill further upon the resources of the empire before she can hope for victory. The first theory that the war would 1e short because of the mighty powers opposing the German war machine has been abandoned, and now the chief aim is to raise as rapidly as possible the additional army of 6(W,000 men demanded by Secretary of War Earl Kitchener. The government press bureau's statement showing that the casualties of the first British expeditionary forces were 10,399 men killed, wounded and missing, shows the immensity of the conflict which is being waged aross the English channel. Expect Long War. Among the British press the opinion is ultimate that England is committed to a long and bloody war. They believe that the power of the British and Russian empires eventually must wear down the numerical forces of Germany and that the resources of Canada, Australia and India will have to be the determining factor in the long run.

ble period, no doubt,, without immediate resort to new sources of taxation. But at what cost to the business of the community? Approximately $75,000,000, a large part of the present treasury balance, is now on deposit with national banks distributed throughout the country. It is of course ready on call. "And we ought not to borrow. We ought to resort to taxation, however. Wa may regret the necessity of putting additional temporary burdens on our people. To sell bonds would be to make a most untimely and unjustifiable step, because this is manifestly not the time to withdraw working capital from our country to pay the government bills. "The country is able to pay any just and reasonable taxes without distress.

And to every other form of borrowing, whether for long periods or for short, there is the same objection. This is at this particular moment, and in this particular exigency, not the market to borrow large suras of money. What we are seeking is to ease and assist every financial transaction, in order not to add a single additional embarrassment to the situation. "In order to meet every demand upon the treasury without delay or peradventure and in order to keep the treasury strong, unquestionably strong and strong throughout the present anxieties, I respectfully urge that an additional revenue of $100,000,000 be raised through internal taxes destined

eastward is shown by word from Beauvais, which is thirty-eight miles northwest of Paris. ' The allies continue to show valiant resistance, stubbornly contesting every inch of ground that they are compelled to yield. They are outnumbered, but have a tremendous advantage in defensive work. The German army which is advancing upon Paris from the northeast is aligned in a V formation with the point aimed at the line lying between Meaux and Beaumont. To meet this attack the French and British troops have been formed in good shape with the wings extending westward from the Seine and eastward along the Marne. New German Tactics. There is a sense of expectation, based upon the German tactics employed at Liege and Namur, that the Germans plan is not to besiege Paris, but to attempt to force a breach in the chain of forts with their newest Krupp guns, and gain entrance through the hole made in the defensive works ot the capital. On the other hand, there are some who believe that the real object of the Germans is not Paris, but a wide enveloping movement westward, then south in order to surround the entire allied army and force its surrender. If this is really the plan of the German general staff it is one of the most extensive and daring military operations ever attempted. The Germans have established a line of steel westward of the Belgian fron

tier to a point near Dieppe. There is strong ground for fear that General

Von Kluk will be able to prevent British re-inforcements arriving from Eng

land to join the allied army, unless they are landed west of the mouth of

the Seine. One can but marvel at the tremen

dous physical resources of the German soldiers. For. a fortnight they have been marching and fighting day and night. They have advanced more than one hundred miles from the Belgian frontier through territory where they had to fight desperately, first to gain a foothold, then to advance. Night attacks are favorite German tactics. When the allied armies, worn out from the furious assaults of the Germans, have retired to a new position and bivouaced for the night, the Germons repeatedly opened artillery fire at 3 or 4 o'clock in the mornulng. followed by a cavalry charge, then an infantry advance. , . , . . It is more than marvelous to under stand how the Germans are able to transport such enormous quantities of

artillery from their' base. The soldiers are gaunt from marching and hard fighting, and their haversacks are almost barren of food, but their ammunition belts are always full and the ammunition wagons crammed with projectiles, and bombs are always up to the van. Sing National Songs. In battle and out, the German soldiers sing their national anthem, and the other German songs they love so well.. In the darkness of a night, amid the lull of the cannonade, the German troops go into battle to the roar of "Die Wacht am Rhine," which swells upward from thousands of throats. General Gallienl has established observation', headquarters . upon Eiffe tower from which the country around Paris can be surveyed for many miles. Evidence of the furious character of the, fighting northeast of this city is shown by the fact that up to Thursday night eight thousand wounded had been taken to the military hospitals in Lyons, among them three generals. Announcement is made that General Plessier died in the hospital there.
