London, Aug. .—Wool et-ii'.es from

i the city of Kovno, ia Xorthwes*
■ ■ by the Russian garrison. Thi?
is taken to indicate that the tier
farm : svalry drive, under the dire,
~ of bietd Marshal vonBuelow is
'vicning in spite of the Russian claims
to the contrary. Kovno is a eitv of
over one hundred thousand inhal-i
toots, and is situated on tlic River
Xicman at the pttirt where the inter
national railroad from Kouigsl erg
rose-:-* the stream. It is the capital
of tfc province of Kovno. one of
the r:-i;-st regions of E ssja. It w-?
used as a supply base by the Rus
sians during their two invasions _of
Ka«- Prussia. On the River Xiem.-xn
■ -r this point hrs occarred some of
the heaviest fighting >-.f the whole
war. s the Hessians attempted to
stent the German advance there. The
dispatch from Copenhagen states that
'he greater Bonder of toe civil j«opu
. ti -n of the p'acc. together with the .
ui-iltiy governor ar. i commander an !
their staffs, have ali retreated to
ward Wilna which s on the Russian
second line of defense. The cash
out of the basks and the government
records, etc., were dispatched to TVii
na -Turing the pas: week. Kovno has
' g 1-een cc-nsidered a fortress of the
-t class, having Wen modernize!
wit hi a the past couple of years, and
it? evacuation at this time makes it
appear that the Russian army is in
sorer straits than is generally sup* !

FROM MONDAY'S DAILY
London, Aug. 9. The papers of
Groat Britain almost unanimously
nailed in praising Russia for her
stand in the question of peace, it has
been known for several days that the
German government through the med
iation of the King of Denmark, had
been trying to secure a separate peace
with Russia, and it has been feared
in some eireles that possibly the
peace party of Russia owing to the
terrible reverses recently experienced
by Russian arms might bring enough
pressure to bear on the Czar to eon

was the return of till that part of Rus

arms, and the agreement on the part
of Germany to use her infuleneo to
secure the cession of parts of Traits

Washington. Aug. 9—Hope of a1
speedy settlement of the troubles of
Mexico were rudely shattered this
morning whftt it was announced that
General Carranza had not only refused
to consider the plans outlined at the
Pan-American conference last week,
but had ordered the representatives
of the mediating South American re
publics out of the country under
threat of death. _ Just what effect
this will have on the countries inter
ested in unknown hut it now looks
as though nothing short of the send
ing of a army into Mexico will avail.
There is every probability that if
this is decided on, the other Re
publics of the Western Hemisphere
will be invited to take part. Tf this
be done there will be no reason for
jealousy on the part of the Latin
American countries, who otherwise
; might make the claim that the T'nited
! States was planning the conquest of
Mexico.

Four or five different boats had to
be called on to carry the big crowd
; to boring Saturday night to attend
the dance given by the cannery of
: fieials and Capt. Rassmussen of the
; Star of Poland. The event was prim
! arily in honor of the Camp Fire
i girls "ho are camping at the “Salt
: House’’ near Lcring, and a general in
i citation to Ketchikan’s d’aneers was
I issued to go up there and “shake
: their feet.” The dance was held on
I'he deck of the big ship Star of
j Poland. An awning had been spread
! over the entire deck. and lights
strung everywhere. The deck had
II een holystoned until it was white as
snow and had then been polished and
1 waxed, so that it made an ideal dancing
j floor. Refreshments, both wet and
! dry. were served in the ship’s gal
ley and in the big cabin aft, and as
the visitors had been presented with
the key-3 of everything in the place,
nothing was lacking to give them a
good time. Superintendent Heckman
n.I Capt Rasmussen shared the hon
I ors as being the most popular men of
the evening, beating the younger fel
lows to it in dRncing with the belles
of the ball. The music—well the least
'-oil about it the be’ter—it started
j with Doe. Walker’s orchestra, arid
finished np with a mouth organ, but
ja little thing like that couldn’t mar
i such a dance. The dance was easily
| the most successful affair of the kind
ever held in this part of the world
| and will long be remembered by those
who were present.

FROM MONDAY'S DAILY
SAYS FRANCE IS FIT
Paris. "A year of the war finds
Frnnce is fit to continue the strug
gle to tho end and confident of the
outcome,'' says Count Adrien Lnnnos
■to Montebello in n review of the first
twelve months of hostilities given to
the Associated Press. Count do Monte
hello, a recognized authority on mili
tary affairs, was one of the strongest
advocates of the three year military
service law, and its co authoi with the
former premier, Louis Burthen. Ho
was formerly deputy from lllieims
ami vice president of tho Committee
on Militari Affairs of the Chamber
of Deputies.
His grandfather was Marshal Lati
nos. at whose death on the battlefield
of Ksaliug Napoleon is sni.l to have
wept,
llis review of the war follows:
“ Prance was not expecting war and
her preparations therefore were less
complete than those of her adversaries
who, knowing their intentions, had ac
cumulated an immense supply of
fighting material and disposed of
their troops in such a manner ns to
strike the most powerful blow of
which they were capable.
“Germany threw against Belgium
tnd France 52 army corps, or almost
her entire military force as mobilized
in August. Under the impact of the
Gorman advance tho French armies,
with their British allies, suffered ini
tial reverses and great losses, especial
ly in the battle of Charleroi. While
the French armies were in retreat a
national ministry was formed and the
civil population of France organized
for war. The French and British
armies stood ou the line of the Marne
from a point near Paris to the east
ern frontier of France. They receiv
ed the shook of more than 1,200,000
German troops, and defeated them
with inferior forces. The Germans
were outled and outfought in a vast
general action over a line of more
ban 120 miles.
“The French troops were too ex
hausted by their fifteen days of
marching and fighting to make their
victory decisive. The Germans chock
ed their retreat upon the line of tho
Aisne, and had sufficient time to dig
in. The battle of tho Aisne develop
ed by the Germans endeavoring to
turn our left and by the simultaneous
French effort to turn the German
right,
“This contest resulted In a race
for the sea in tho obstinate two *
months battle along the Yscr in Oc
tober and November. The Germans
'gain failed and finally gave up that
part of their offensive on account of
her terrific losses,
“Simultaneous with tho battle of
rhe Marne, though forming no part of
the battlefront of what has been
called the Battle of the Marne, were
notions in tho Argonne, the
Woevre and the Grand Couronne de
Nancy. The army of the German
Town prince, marching to Verdun, ami
the army of Crown Prince Eupprecht,
if Bavaria, marching on Nancy, both
were defeated in some of the blood
iest engagements of the entire war.
“ Th ultimate result of these de
feats was the liberation of that part,
if the ancient province of Lorraine
left to France after 1870 from the
occupation of the German army. The
German forces had penetrated 15 or
IS miles. They were not only driven
out before the first of November, but
-inee then the French have invaded
upper Alsace, of which they now hold
a considerable part. Tills country,
taken fron France in the war of
1870-71, has been reorganized and is
under control of a civil government,
which restored the school and judic
i-.i system of France.
“Prom the battle of Charleroi to
the end of the first year of the war
tho Germans achieved no success on
the western battlefront save the slight
advance at Soissone during the floods
of the river Aisne, the advance at
Vprcs, partially lost afterwards, at
the time of tho first, attack with the
assistance of asphyxiating gasses.
“The success of the Allies sihoo
the battle of the Marne are in the re
capture of Tlinnn, Btoinbach, Tfartnnns
Weilerkopf. Mezeral, La Fontcnelle,
together with considerable territory,
in the Alsatian Vosges; the capture
of the entire German position in the
forest of Le IVtro, along the wedge
the Germans are still holding in tho
French lines at Bt. Miliiel; an advance
of a mile along a front of ten miles
at Beausejonr in the Champagne
country; the capture of Neuvn Cnh
pclle by the British, the capture of
Notre Dame dr Loretto, Careiicv anil
V nville Bt. Vooet, and nil ndvanee of
two or three miles along a front about
"even miles north from Arras by Cic
French, and the clearing of the bit
bank of the Vser of the enemy by the
Belgian army.
