FROM MONDAYS DAILY
St. Petersburg, Aug. 24—The
Russian army is now in almost
complete possession of North
ern Germany having driven the
Germans bark in disorder, and
are pressing steadily forward.
The fleet on the Baltic is lend
ing its aid in advance, by shell
ing the coast towns. Russia
has not less than 800,000 men
in the field in this region, and
is striking the Germans at an
unexpected quarter, as the Ger
man forces were massed along
the Polish border where it was
naturally to be expected the
advance would be begun. Two
or three minor engagements
have been fought in which the
superior weight of the Russian
advance has been generally ef
fective, and but little real op
position can be made by the
small garrisons of the towns of
that region. Gumbinnon, one
■of the principal cities of North
east Germany has been captur
ed, and the expectations are
that Konigsberg and Fort Pil
lati will next lie invested.
Japan Declares War
Tokyo, Japan, Aug. 23—The
Japanese government having
received no satisfactory reply
from Germany to her demands
that the latter country evacuate
her holdings in the east, form
ally declared war on Germany
today, and already Japanese
vessels are bombarding the
Herman base of Tsingku. Two
hundred thousand men are
available for foreign service at
once, and as many more at any
lime.
Germans Are Ready
Shanghai, Aug. 24—Advices
have been received here from
Tsingku to the effect that the
garrison there is ready for a
siege. Non-combatants have
been sent away, and an Im
mense amount of supplies have
been laid in. The place is well
fortified anil will prove a hard
nut to crack.
Another Battle is on
London, Aug. 24—The War
Office reports that another bat
tie is on between the Allied
forces and the Germans near
Char le Roi. The Germans oc
cupy all the villages between
Louvain and Alov, so the pas
sage of the main army across
Belgium from Liege to Char le
Rio is uninterrupted. Around
Antwerp they have been driv
en back from every attack, but
that has had no effect on the
main body which is pouring a
cross Hie country leaving a rel
ative small number of men to
prevent the Belgians now at
Antwerp cutting the line of
communication and threaten
ing their rear.
To Loan Them Cash
London, Aug. 24—British fi
nanciers have agreed to loan
Belgium one hundred millions
of dollars for war purposes.
Italy Will Get Busy
Paris, Aug. 24—The Ital.an
minister in this city announced
this morning that he expected
his country to declare war on
Germany and Austria within
■ lie next twenty-four hours.
Allies Take The Offensive
Paris, Aug. 24—Heavy fight
ing is reported all along the
line from Mons to the from
tier of Luxemburg, where it is
understood the allied Rrifcish
French forces have taken the
offensive. Several hand-to
hand clashes have taken part,
hut the Germans will not stand
against the cold steel of the
bayonet charge. The Irish and
Scotch regiments of Ihe Brit
h line are doing some wonder
Inl fighting. Smashing blows
have given the German line for
a distance of over forty miles,
and it looks as though the
main body of the German ad
vance will be forced to meet j
this new attack which will,
shortly menace its rear. It is
believed here that Field Marl
shal Sir John French is per
sonally in command of the Al
lied forces in this region while
Gen. Joffrc, head of the
French army is in command of
the forces now facing the Ger
man advance at Char le Roi,
and that the two will take the
offensive, thus hoping to attack
the main part of the German
army in front and flank. If
successful in this movement,
the probabilities are the Bel
gian garrison at Antwerp will
also advance, catching the
German troops between three
fires. It is believed that
France, England and Belgiu
now have more men available
in the war zone than has Ger
many.

FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
After waiting all day for a
reply from Washington as told
in yesterday’s Miner, the Brit
ish Hospital vessel Prince.
George wass allowed to take
on but 250 barrels of oil,
enough to return her to
Prince Rupert, and leave her
tanks in practically the same
condition they were when she
left that place, and returned
thither this morning. From
word received on the May this
morning, matters are much
more acute in northern British.
Columbian waters than we
generally suppose. The car
go of coal on board the Prin-J
cess Ena consigned to the
Northland Dock Company in this
city was siezed by the Govern
ment authorities there Sunday
and was transfered on board
one of the British cruisers
at Prince Rupert. On top of
this comes word that fisher
men have seen a three smoke
stack battleship of some kind
cruising around just outside of
Graham island, which is sup
posed to be the Lepsig. Another
thing which makes it appear
that matters are serious is the
presence of a Canadian rev
enue cutter of fishing patrol
boat in Sulzer, Sunday, w'hich
waited until dark before leav
ing and then went out with all
lights screened and headed for
home as fast as she could
steam. These things coupled
with the presence of the
Prince George in this harbor
yesterday points to a coming
naval battle not very far from
this port. The Rainbow,
which is probably the vessel at
Prince Rupert which took the
coal is a second class protec
ted cruiser of about three thou
sand six hundred tons displace
ment and a speed of about
twenty knots. Her armament
consists of two six inch guns in
her main battery and eight 4.7
inch guns in her secondary bat
tery. The Leipzig is three knots
faster than the Rainbow, be
ing classed as a 23-iknoter.
The biggest gun she carries
however is 4.1-inch, of which
she has eight. The British
cruiser at Rupert is accompan
ied by a submarine according
to reports, the supposition be
ing that it is one of the two re
cently purchased bythe British
government from a Seattle ship
building concern.
Germans Continue Advance
London, Aug. 25—From Bel-(
gium sources comes word that
the Germans have defeated the
allied French and Belgian fore-'
es . at Charleroi . with heavy
losses on Loth side, and are
now massing their forces to at
tack the British troops which
have been successful near
Mens. One column of Ger
mans are said to have penetrat
ed the French border from the
armed fort at Marshal and are
now near the town of Nancy.
This is taken to be an attempt
on the part of the Germans to
draw some of the French fore
es from tile upper Meuse vel
ley and thus allow the Germans
lo advance through the passes
oftho Ardennes as they did in
1S70, prior to the great battle
of Sedan, when they so disas
terously defeated the French
forces. This is is only conjec
ture of course, but it looks
probable. By this movement,
the German troops, after llirfe
weeks of most tremendous
fighting are at last on French
soil. Whether they can con
tinue their advance as steadily
though slowly as they have in
the past remains to he seen,
but this is true, they arc in
France and within one hundred
and fifty miles of Paris. Four
lines of defenses oxsisj. be
tween them and their goal, nV
manned by the flower o
French manhood, and the sirup
gle may be said to have begun
in earnest. The main diffi
culty will be to keep the troops
in the field supplied with food
and ammunition, and the hauli
will be a long one for Ihe Gcr- !
man quartermaster’s depart
ment.
Francis Joseph Near Death
Rome, Aug. 25—Word reach
ing this city from Vienna slates
that Francis Joseph J., Emperor
of Austria-Hungary lies at
death’s door, and his physicians
offer no hope for his recovery.
He has been feeble for some
time, being 84 years of age,
and the worry of the present
war in Europe has so wrought
on him that his death is but the
matter of a few hours. It was
the murder of his heir Francis
Ferdinand and the demand for
satisfaction for the deed that
precipitated the present con
flict.
Destroy Austrian City
Paris, Aug. 25—The fortifica
tions at Gattaro, one of Aus
tria's fortified towns on the
Adriatic, were battered down
by the allied French and Eng
lish fleet Sunday of this week.
The Austrian gunners fled al
most as soon as the bombard
ment began, and the ships were
then enabled to steam close in
and make every shot count.
The attack was so sudden and
unexpected that the Austrians
did not have time to plant
mines in the harbor mouth.
Many vessels in the harbor at
the time were captured by the
fleet.
LATER PRESS
London, Aug. 25—Gloom is
everywhere apparent in this
city, for there is no denying the
fact that the German army is
bearing the Allied forces back.
In spite of all that British, Bel
gian and French can do the
Teuton is winning. Not only
are they winning at Mons and
Charleroi, but reports are re
ceived that Namur has been
captured, and five of the forts
defending the place. Details
are lacking, but the authentic
fy of the report is verified by
an order issued tonight stat
ing that every soldier available
for service will be sent to the
continent at once,
Idzumo Off Tatoosh
, San Francisco, Aug. 25—The
Japanese cruiser Idzumo re
ports by wireless that she is
now off the straits of Juan de
Fuca headed north on the trail
of the Leipzig, which is some
where off the northern British
coast.
Capture Kaiser’s Nephew
Paris, Aug. 25—Count Von
Scherwin. a nephew of Kaiser
Wilheim was captured by the
French forces at Courtari, and
will be held as a prisoner of
war.
Germans Control Longwy
Washington, Aug. 25—Advis
es received by the German em
bassy in this city is to the ef4
feet that the Germans are in
possession of the 'French forti
fied town of Longwy having
captured ten thousand French
soldiers, including several gen
erals in the attack. This gives
them the control of the border
from Nancy to Longwy, a dis-i
tanee of over forty miles. Metz
is being used by the Germans
as a base.
Purchase American Horses
Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 25
Representatives of the French
army qre buying up all the
available horses in this region,
over fifteen thousand having
been purchased within the pa-t
week.
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAkLY
London, Aug. 20—The fall of
Namur and the failure of the!
flanking movement of the Al-i
lies against the German right,
is the first really bad news that
has reached this country. Thcj
conquest of Belgium was a
foregone conclusion, for what
hope had that little country a
gainst the giant German. This
last information, however is
7
entirely different, and has cast
a cloud of fear and anxiety
over Great Britain. The Allied
commanders picked their own
battle field, one wing resting
on Mons, the other at Charleroi,
the Germans attacked the
French, which occupied the
latter place, the allied British
and Belgians attempted a flank
ing movement from Mons, but
were driven back in disorder,
while at the same time the
French were forced from their
position at Charleroi, the whole
thing resulting in a complete
victory fort he Germans.
The German troops have ad
vanced in several other places,
so that they arc now in pos
session of almost all the
Franco-German frontier with
the exception of Alsace.
Kitchener Asks for
Another Million
London, Aug. 20—Lord Kitch
ener as head of (tie British lan”
forces has announced that he
will ask for another million
men for duty on the Continent.
This number it is believed in
now available for immediate
mustering in. The force will
he made up mostly of men
from the British Isles and Can
ada, as those from Austrailia,
New Zealand and the Cape
Colonies will necessarily he
late in getting here. Canada’s
contingent of field artillery is
expected at any time and wil
be landed on French soil at
once. Thirty thousand men are
now mobilized at different
parts of South Africa and will
probably start north within the
week to he disembarked at the
Mediterranean French ports.
Several transports loaded with
troops from India and the far
east are now- on the way, which
will give England at least
fifty thousand more seasoned
troops to put in the field with
out delay. The probabilities
are that heavy divisions from
both the French and British
fleets will be landed with naval
guns to aid in lhe defense of
the French forticications. The
5.7 naval gun such as was used
lo such good effect in the
Boer war is larger than any of
Germany’s land weapons, and
in the hands of the sailors is
bound to give a good account
of itself.
Advance on Paris Starts
Paris, Aug. 26—It is announc
ed in this city today that the
general in command of the
German forces at Nancy made
an address to his men this
morning telling them that for
them was the honor of being
the first troops on French soil
to start the real advance on
