London: The British efforts to

drive a salient into the German
lines between Marcoing and St.
Quentin continue suecessfully.
On Saturday Haig’s troops cap-
tured seven villages-on a front of

ten miles. ‘Marteville, Vermand
and Soyecourt, six to eight miles
northwest of St. Quentin, were ae-
cupied with but little opposition
from the Germans, but British ar-
tilery drove the defenders from
the village of St. Emilie, east of
Villers Faueon, and on the rail-
road running south from Marco-
ing along the Cologne river the
British advanced and captured
Jeancourt, Hervilly and Hendi-
court.

Berlin officially admits the Brit-
ish successes,

In Mesopotamia the British are
in touch-with the retreating Turks
and a great battle is reported.

Rain has stopped operations tn
East Africa. Damaged railways
and communications are being
reconstructed,

Northeast of Soissons French
troops raade further progress and
repulsed two German cuunter-at-
tacks in the region of Vreguy,

Rid Janeivo: Survivors of eleven
ships sunk in the Atlantic by a

men and two women, were brought
here on Saturday, The new raid-
er is named Seeadler, Captain
Luckuer, and left Germany Dee,
24. Most of her victims were
sunk in the vicinity of Trinidad.
The approximate total tonnaye
sunk was 38,100.

. Washington: There are indi-
cations that a wave of war senti-
ment is sweeping the country.
Congress assembles today, and
President Wilson is expectedtode-
liver his war message tomorrow.

London: Dr. David, Socialist
leader in the reichstag, openly
declared that a republic is the in-
evitable development in Germany,
He demanded that the reichstag
be given a voice in the conclusion
of alliances and peace treaties,
with power to dismiss the chan-
cellor, Shouts of ‘High Trea.

London; Further particulars of
the victory achieved by the British
forces at Gaza, near Jerusalem,
show a Turkish loss of 8000 killed
and wounded. The British lost
less than 400 in the battle.

Paris: South of the Aillette
the French forces drove back the
Germans beyond Vaux Haillon.

Our patrols found the lines in
the region of St. Quentin strong-
ly oceupied by the enemy.

Petrograd: Russia rejects Ger-
man overtures, ‘‘We cannot
shake hands with the German
people until they rid themselves
of the cursed Hohenzollerris,’”’
declared Skobeloff, vice-president
of the duma, toa patriotic mass
meeting. To the’ hypocritical
preetings of the Kaiser and Holl-
weg, he said, Russia could only
reply with the bayonet.

The army and navy have sworn
allegiance to the new government.

New York: A Copenhagen
special to the World says Germany
spent a million dollars in an at-
tempt to bribe Russian officers to
permit the passage of German
troops through the lines to Petro-
grad. The officers accepted the
money and immediately forward-
ed it to Petrograd, with full de-
tails of the treacherous plan.

Washington: President Wilson
appeared before congress last
night and asked that hody to. de-
clare a state of war between the
United States and Germany. The
latter, he declared, was responsible
for the final break, and the entry
of the U. 5. into the war. -His

address was a strong indictment
of the Kaiser’s povernment.

‘Wilson’s suggestion that credit

to male the war asuccess. Many
preparedness bills, providing for
hundreds of millions, will be rash-
ed through within a few hours
after the resolution is pagsed.

Senator Chamberlain hasintro-
duced a bill for universal military
training.

New York: - American papers
characterize Wilson’s speech as
the ‘greatest of the generation.
Cables fram London declare Brit-
ish papers are eulogistic. That
the U.S. has declared war on
Hohenzollernism is the British
view,

There are intimations from
Mexico that the military party,
urged by pro-German influences,
has demanded war with the U.S,
Several leading generals are re-
ported to have made pronounce-
ments that war would commence
when the U. S. began hostilities
with Germany.

London: The announcement
of American action, made by
Bonar Law in the commons, was
greeted with cheers,
