(Special to the Guardian.)

HALIFAX. Sept. 20.-The steamer

Athenai is`on fire and was abandoned at sea last night after 409 passengers and crew had been rescued by other steanlers. Only one life ls reported lost.

HALIFAX, Sept. 20.-“'1`he Athenia

abandoned and on fire," was the startling nlessage received last night py C, H. Harvey, agent for the marine and fisheries, by wireless from Cape Race. The report came from the S. S. Marina which had evidently picked up the dread llews fronl a poillt in mid-Atlantic. The message received by Mr, Harvey is in full, as follows:-

“8 p. m.-Marine reports Atllenia.

abandoned on fire tllis afternooll. 'l‘us- csllia rendering assistance. Unable to obtain position. All ships in zone of Athenia out of normal range.”

Another nlessage _was received by

Mr. Harvey, tllis one from Capo Ray, stating as follows:-

“Athonla on fire proceeding to liai-

iiax. Get Camperdowll on job as too far away for us."

At first it seenled likely the Athe-

nia was a Donaldson line ship of 5,113 tolls, which was being used as a transport, and according to the com- pany's advertisement was to have sailed from Glasgow for Montreal on September 18th.

Tile Tuscania, which was reported

to be standing by the burning steam- er, was due to sail from Glasgow for New York on September 11th. The second message received makes it ap- pear that the Athellin was not aban-

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.--Available

SOLDIER’B LETTER

OTTAW,A, Sept. 18.-In a letter just

DOES SAM MEAN WAR

WILL END WITHIN YEAR.

BERLIN, Ollt.,_Sept. 18.--"I tell you

boys that inside of one year you will be walking the streets of this city triumphant, having helped in defeat- ing tlle Prussian autocracy," General Sir Sam Hughes declared at a mons- ter patriotic meeting held in the Au- ditorlunl last night addressing hint- self to the Berlin boys of the 34th and 71st Battaiions, who have enlist- ed for overseas service.

Never before in the history of Ber-

lin has there been such a patriotic demonstration as was witnessed here last llight, and the Minister of Militia intimated to the vast audience that no public man in Canada was ever the recipient of a more enthusiastic reception ‘than was accorded him here to-day-not that it was tendered to him personally, but for the cause which he and the Berlin boys of the overseas contingents represent. The entire population of Berlin and Water- loo was out. The vast Auditorium which can provide accommodation for eight or ten thousand people, was crowded to its capacity.

"Britain to-day," General Sam an-

nounced, "has the nlost magnincellt army ever mobilized in the world. It is being equipped with arms of the most modern type. France has mobi- lized splendid armies. Russia has millions of men ready, but they are waiting for thc delivery of thousands of dollars worth of rifles ulld anlmuui- tion. Italy is already on the offen- sive, and when this vast army gets under way I declare to you that Ger- many’s race will soon be run, and the Allies will be triumphant.”

This was the climax ofa series of

recruiting meetings held during the week under the auspices of the Citi- zens' Recrufting Conlmitteo and its success surpassed the fondest expec- tations ofthe most patriotic. ' L_ Mclltrine, Chairman of the com- mittee, presided, aud in ll brief ad- dress declared the meeting was the grandest Berlin had ever seen. W. G. Welcllel, M. L. A., also delivered it short address."~'

» SITUATION

(Special to the Guardian.)

LONDON, Sept. 20.--Of many big

battles fought on the eastern front during the past five months, few if ally have been fraught with such import- ance for the opposlllg armies as that now in progress to the east and south of Vilna, where German Field Marshal Von I-Iindenburg is attempting to cut off the retreat and destroy the Rus- sian army which defended that city. A German ofllcial report issued to-day throws little light on the progress of operations, simply stating that the “attack aganist the enemy retreating from Vilna is proceeding." Petrograd continues to express confidence in the ability of the Russians to extricate themselves from the net thrown around them. In the opinion of mili- tary writers they nre in a dangerous position. It is quite likely, however, that they got. their artillery away be- fore the Germans moved across the railways. as the evacuation of Vilna was decided upon weeks ago. Prince Leopold of Bavaria is also approach-I ing the railway to the south-east oft Lido., having reached the district of Dworzec, which is immediately west of the road skirting Pripet marshes' and rllllning to Rovno, south of Pripet_ The Russians still control the sitlla- tion and keep on harassing the Austro- German armies ill Volhynia and Galicia. Although presumably Ger- many has had her hands full ill driv- lug the Russians back she has found men and guns to go to her ally's assistance against the Serbians. and a German communication announces that German guns have taken up tile fighting against the Serbian artillery across the Danube, and claims to have silenced it. .

Bombardment with very heavy guns

has become mutual in the west, both side are maintaining all almost con- tinuous flre, while the British fleet is making matters lively for the Ger- mans on the Belgian coast. There are no signs as yet of a general offensive. however, and another win- ter in the trenches may be looked for. Illtense interest is taken in the Bul- garian situation in the efforts of the opposing parties to induce the King and government tu depart from the path of neutrality and join the En- tente Powers. It is believed, how- ever, that, despite denials, the railway agreement with Turkey binds Bul- garia to maintain a benevolent neu- trality towards Turkey and Gcrmally powers.

GREAT FOOTBALL STAR DECORA-

TED FOR BRAVERY

DUNKIRK, France, Sept. 10.-Lieut.

W. A. Cooper, a famous British foot- ball star, has been decorated at the front with the British Military Cross for his coolness ill uncovering and removing a ton and a half of ex- plosive from a German, mine which |threatened to destroy an important ‘salient on the British front.

Cooper, who had some experience

as o. miner, joined the Royal Etlgin eers at the beginning of the war. His station for the past three months has been in the trenches at the foot of Hill 60. He was driving a mine 200 yards long uuderthe German position when he broke into a German mine crammed with high explosives. For a moment he thought his party was doomed, but acting quickly he cut the wires leading to the German trenches, and then proceeded to carry away the explosive matter piecemeal.

As the tunnel was very low, he and

his men lay head to feet and passed the stuff back from hand to hand. The explosives handled showed a total weight of over 3,000 pounds. Five of thc men were rendered unconscious by fumes.

don-The story of the death fight of Adoiplle Pegoud, the French aviator, wllo was killed recently near Petite Croix in a battle in the air with a Gorman aviator, is related by PIIOA- Corporal Kauduulski, his conqueror, in a letter to his father, which is pub- ‘lished in the Tagebiatt.

"While flying," says the letter, “the

forts at Belfort opened ilre against -mg, the shrapnel bursting around in the clouds. I was hardly out of range of the ellemy's guns when suddenly a French machine approached. The fighting took place at a height of 2,400 metres, about 8.000 feet.

"The first thing l did was to swing

sharply around in order to obtain a tree range to the flank. My observer. Lieutenant Billitz. immediately fired the machine Bun. WINCH. Bfi»6l' "IB thirtieth shot, refused to work. Mean- while Pegoud approached to fifty metres. I encircled him once, and suddenly executed a sharp curve to the left, whereby I got him to the flank and Billitz, whose machine gun again was in order, gave him his quietus."

FIIIIPIIIIIIIIII III ' AIIINS IN IIANAIIA

(Special to the Guardian.)

OTTAWA, Sept. 20.-That there are

105,775 persons of enemy birth in Canada. this including Germans, Austro-liungarians and Turks, is ill- dicated by a special report on Canada‘s foreign born population issued to-night. The figures, which have been compiled from the last; census returns, are of special import- ance now that the country is at war. There are 121,430 Austro-Huugarians in the Dominion, this nationality largely predominating amongst aliens of enemy birth. There are 39.577 German born inhabitants and 4,758 who were born in Turkey or Syria. As regards subjects of allied countries it may be pointed out that persons oi' French birth in Canada number 17,019, of Italian birth 37,739 and Russian 89,985. In view of the prominent part Bulgaria is playing in Balkan diplo- macy Ijust now it is of interest that the number ol’ Canadian inhabitants of Bulgarian birth is fixed at 1,066. That unhappy country, Belgium. has 7,975 oi' its citizens in the Dominion.

HOLY LAND IS

p TRNSFERRED INTO

A VAST MILITARY CAMP

LONDON, Sept. 14.-A despatch

from Jerusalem says: Armed airships and aeroplanes are continually fly- ing over tlle birthplace of the Prince of Peace, at Bethlehem, according to the Bots aus Zion (The Messenger from Zioll), a newspaper published in Palestine by a Swiss missionary. Nearly the entire Holy Land has been transformed into a military camp. Soldiers are manoeuvring ev- ery day on the Mount of Olives, at Golgotha and Jerusalem. The Eng- lish, French, and Russian convents have been turlled into barracks and between Judea and Jericho, where transportation was by mule pack in the days when Christ came to bring "peace on earth." a road is being constructed for armored motor cars. Lollg columns of lluifaloes. driven by Arab peasants are hauling carts loaded with powder, projectiles and other supplies for the Turkish army along the favorite routes of pilgrims in Palestine. Fast tlromedaries of the Camel Corps mnilltain communica- tion between the camps in Palestine .md the Tllrkish headquarters. It is supposed that the concentration of the young recruits ill the Iloly Land is with a view to another attack up- on Egypt.

THE LOAN WILL LIKELY

_ BE $800,000,000.

NEW YORK, Sept 20.-The pro-

posed mammoth credit loan to Great Brrtainand France. it was reported last night, is to`be underwritten by as large syndicate of American finan- ciers and ballkers, wllo are to receive a commission for their services. The securities offered, it wussairl, will he British and French five per cellt. Gov- ernment bonds, and the price to the investor is to be par. The amount of the loan, it was reported, is as yet undetermined, but will he between $600,000,000 and $800,000,000.

Whether munitions of war will be

included within the scope of the pro- posed credit, so far as could be learn- ed, has not been decided.

The underwriting syndicate, it was

reported. will be the largest of its kind ever established ln the United States, and probably will be open to nearly all national banks. trust com- panies and s`ta‘te banks that may care to participate. While the amount of the commission to be paid these banks was not expressed in percent- ages. it is understood that the profit will be a small one, possibly one-half to one per cent.

Elimination of the reported differ-

ence in opinion between American financiers and members of the Anglo- French commission over the manner of placing the loan apparently has re- sulted in a victory for the American financiers. "Previous reports were to the effect that the commIssion's views were that the loan should be

placed by subscription, and that there should be no underwriting syndicate.

GERMANS HOPE TO END WAR

BY DRIVE IN THE BALKANS.

BERLIN, via wireless ‘to Tucker-

ton, N. J., Sept. 20.-The Germans hope by a mighty blow in the Balkans to end the war before Spring. By blasting a road through Serbia to Bulgaria they expect the Aust.ro-Gcr- man armies may not only scttlc the Balkan question, but might bring an

early peace.

Both here and in Vienna, the idea p

of o. sudden stroke in the Belkalls meets with popular approval. ln Vienna, ill particular, foreign press reports that 'the Austro-Germans will soon throw troops against Serbia are widely commented on. Vienna be- lieves no other military move pro- mises such an early ending of tha.. war.

Military men hero believe that it

would be comparatively easy to de- feat Serbia. A short march through the Northeastern part of Serbia would link up the Central Empires with Bui- garia, already very friendly ill llcr relations with Turkey, Austria and

Germany.

The whole Balkan situation may be

summed up in the statement "lf one acts, all act." Should an Austro-Ger- man marcll on Serbia result ill threatening movements ily Roumaula, Bulgaria is expected to tumllln into the wul' with the Allsiro-Gcrlllnlls. Berlin believes that Scrllilt would get little help from the Allies, llccallse oi' her vlnsll with italy over territor-

THOUSANDS OF TURKS WIPED OUT IN TERFIIFIC FIGHTING

LONDON, Sept. 19.-A description

of the fighting in the Anzac region on the Gallipoli Peninsula during the last week ill August, and the result achieved during this period, is given by the Dardanelles correspondent of

Reuter’s ’l`elcgruul Company.

The capture of Hill No. 00 was itll-

portant, says the correspondent, as it is the last crest of the lust ridgc` separating the Anzac zone from the plains to the north, and thus consti- tutes a poillt of union between thc British fiorccs ill thc Anzac position and the lille across the Silvia l’luIu. llcsidcs giving llcccss to n ravine loud-

ing to high ground beyond li..

The Turks, hc says, clung to tile,

hill with the utmost <lctermination,` and when they were thrown ollt of their trenches would filxllt their way hack again. acceptillg terrible losses llnflinclliugly to reguill the lost ground with the result that wltcn the trell- ches finally were captllrcd, they vvcro filled with Turkish dead. it look three days to oust the Tlrrks, and the ground around, llc says, is still tllickly strewn with their bodies and those of British soldiers who fell in the nsaults.

It is computed, declares thc cor-

respondent, tilat the Turks lost 5,000 men before they surrendered the position. Tile Illdinn brigade and the Connaught Rangers took part in the fighting. with Australians alld New Zealanders. _

Tile correspondent expresses the

opinion that the Turks will not nt- tack Anzac positions again. after the terrible losses they sustained in previous attacks. They did succeed. he adds, in sweeping two Britisll Bat- talious off n ridge that previously had been won by the New Zealanders, but when they got across the crest into the ravine below, they came un- der the fire of British machine guns.

“They came down in thousands,"
