FROM MONDAYS DAILY '
2 BRITISH
6 GERMAN 1
VESSELS SUNK
London, Auy, 3—A desperate
naval battle is reported this
morning from the Baltic be
tween British and German ves
sels, which resulted in two of
the former and six of the latter
being sunk. .The British Ad
miralty has assumed control of
the wireless equipments of all
vessels in British waters, and
enlisted men are in charge of
all the land telegraph stations.
London. Aug. 3—Five coun
tries. Germany, and Austria on
the one side and Russia. France
and Servia on She other, are
now at war, and actual fight
ing ;s going on. It locks as
j though German’s military sys
tem. generally conceded to be
the best in the world is to get
a thorough trying out. for two
■ countries— Russia on the east
and France on the west, are
striving to wipe out the in
-iilts of the past in the blood
of ;he Teuton. All three of
the larger countries affected
evidently believe the struggle
will be a long one. for they
have sent out a call for their
reserves to come in to the re
lief of the home countries
even from the furthermost
corners of the United Statei
where the ex-soldiers have
been asked So report at the con
sula:ej to be returned home
; tor service.
Saturday night, with both
army and navy ready for bus
.lies-. Germany declared war
on Russia, and almost immed
iately the eastern part of ihe
| Baltic sea was filled with fcght
ng vessels trjing to gain the
staiegie points. A marine bat
tle lasting almost all day yes
ierday followed near tbeAiand
•Islands, which resulted in the
remnants of the Russian fleet
being forced to seek refuge in
the Gulf of Finland, where the
vessels now are repairing their
damage- and preparing to re
new the battle. The position
they now occupy is an advant
:g* - /lie. as they are backed
by the fortifications of Kran
sladl. which are among the
strongest in Europe.
France completed the mobil
ization oi her army and navy at
midnight last night, but while
-he was doing it the Germans
without giving notice of so do
ing. or even declaring war.
-ent a column of troops into
French territory fr m Stras
b ;rg, :ha- violating the Lux
emburg treaty. The French were
prepared for ‘hem. how ever,
arnj drove them back across the
border in disorder, following
them in force, and are now ad -;
v ■ :c g toward Frankfurt, their
; e being covered by a <
I * t -warm of French aero
pi- - which are dropping;
b. wherever th-y can dis
cover any gathering of Germ r
tr op-. . me of the mo*-*; dar
ing birdmen having even cross -
ed the Rhine and wrought n«e
hlef there wj;h their folLog ex
plosives.
Russia is invading Germany
from three different p. ;r.l-.
apparently, sending the larger
force by way of Schwin-leo, and
aE- , is preparing to send
am ’her column into Austria,
with the result that Austria is
recalling her troops out of Ser
via and preparing to face this
new danger, which she had
Lg ere j on Germany taking
I ... -L
care of, but that country with
four differeut armies to meet
on her own territory is hardly
in a position to do anything to
help her neighbor.
England evidently is trying to
remain neutral, but at the same
time is evidently not intending
to be caught unprepared, an
indication of this is a call for
all members of the Royal Naval
Reserves throughout Canada
and the United States to report
at Ottawa for service under the
colors.
Sweden, Norway and Italy
have formally declared their
neutrality aud will give aid to
neither side in the war unless
forced to do so by conditions
over which they have no con
trol.
Aa unconfirmed report comes
from Rome that Francis
Joseph. Emperor of Austria
Hungary has been assassinated
by members of the Pan-Slav
onic union, but the report does
not appear to gain much cred
ence in England, which is the
only other source of authentic
information, as communication
with any of the countries act
ually engaged is impossible.
The United States has been
asked to lake charge of the af
fairs of the different European
embassies at Paris, Berlin, St.
P.lersburg anj Vienna and
will probably do so. as Presi
dent Wilson issued an appeal
lo the people of the United
States this morning urging
them to be calm and declaring
that the United States owes it
to the world at large to main
tain a position that will enable
her to be a friend to all the
countries concerned in the pres
ent war.
From Victoria, B. C.. come
word that the Canadian cruiser
Rainbow is lying in the harbor
at Esquimault. cleared for act
ion awaiting the arrival of the
German cruiser Leipzic, which
is steaming north from San
Pedro seeking coal, having been
refused fuel by American ports.
The Leipsic is the larger ves
sel of the two.
One feature of the present
situation is a surprise to many
of the people of Europe. Rus
sia, Germany and France have
all had serious labor trouble*
of late, and the threat of a hug*1
strike has been made in ail
three countries in case war ever
did materialize, but all these
threats have been forgotten in
the common danger. and
Frenchman, German aud Rus
sian is apparently willing to of
fer his life and all in the de
fense of his native land.
There is every probability of
American cruisers being sen*
to Hamburg arid other"European
ports to bring home American
touri-t. stranded in the differ
ent countries on account of
their letters of credit being
dishonored, leaving them with
* ut means to return to this
country.
The condition in England is
very much disturbed, as two
-trong parties exist—the one
favoring a declaration of war
by Great Britain, seeing an op
portunity to sweep Germany
from the sea, the other, equally
-trong. urging that England
use every means to stop the
war.

FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
New York. Aug. I—Actual
news of the condition of things
is Europe today is very scarce
as a strict censorship is being
maintained by every country to
prevent news of the movement
of its fleet or soldiers being
given to the world. Judging
from word received last night
stating that English and Get*-.
1 man vessels had met in actual
battle, the former country has
either been drawn into the
vortex of seething warfare, or
has decided not to await a dec
laration of war. There can be
1 no doubt however but that the
! fight occurred for Canadian
| papers had practically the
same account that American
i papers published and got il
'from other sources. The only
i difference being that the Can
; adans had seven German ves
sels sunk instead of six as re
I ported by the Associated Press,
i The lines of communication
, across the Atlantic are badly
I interrupted, and the probabili
ties'are, maybe entirely sev
j ered within a short time.
The most important item that
h is filtered through today i
! that Germany this morning
! formally declared war on
. France and is moving huge
| bodies of troops toward the
Franco-German frontier with
‘the intention apparently of
smashing the army of that
power and repeating the his
vading the country and captur
1 ing Paris.
A second declaration by Hie
German government was in the
I form of an ultimatum to Bel
i gium giving that country
> twelve hours notice that Ger
i many would send her troops
| through Belgium to attack
France. Belgium has denied
Germany the right to pass her
‘ borders and the King has so
| notified Germany, and the
'troops of that little country are
being massed to prevent the in
vasion.
A big force of German's en
tered Holland at Limburg, but
; the hardy Dutch opened the
dykes and let in the sea driv
ing the Germans back to dry
ground in a hurry, thus repeat
ing the history of the Spanish
invasion hundreds of years ago.
Much of the lower part of Hol-f
land is inundated, many of the
villages geing entirely under
water, but the Dutchmen are
apparently willing to suffer
this inconvenience rather than
' allow (he Germans to make a
| battle field of their country.
From Paris comes word that
-cout areoplanes. which have
| been hovering along the fron
tier. report that several col
| urniis of German troops are
' rapidly approaching the bor
| der evidently bent on an in
vasion of Framre. The pick of
the French army will meet
them and a big battle is im
minent.
According to word recieved
from T kio, Japan will take- no
-tand in the matter, having
close friends on both sides.
The wire from that place
slates that the fleets of Ger
many and England are concen
trating in the ea.-t and a clash
-cem« o be certain. England’s
forces are almost twice as
slrong as the German in Asia
tic waters, so the outcome
to be certain.
In England new- i- scarce
and the censors arc not allow
ing any accounts of fighting
!o be published in any of the
papers. The Cabinet i- div
ided on the war question, and
Vi-courit Morlcy, Lord Presi
dent of the Council, and
John Burn-. President of the
Local Government Board, have
resigned from the Cabinet, as
a protest against war. On the
other hand Prime Minister
Asquith’s residence was sur
rounded all last night by
crowds of people clamoring
for war and demanding that
Lord Kitchener be recalled
from Egypt to take the port
folio of the Minister of War
amt to have complete control
of the British Army both in
Great Britain and the field.
Now York. Aug. 4—'The an
nouncement was made today
that the stock exchanges of
the United tSales would re
main closed indefinitely.
Washington, Aug. 4—Presi
dent Wilson in a message lo
Congress last night asked tho
appropriation of a quarter of
a million dollars for *he
purpose of bringing home Am
ericans now stranded in'
. Europe. In the message he
called the attention of Con
gress to the fact that the
financial condition of the
United States was probably
i never better than at present.
-» -
The local Office of the U. S.
Cable was in receipt of a long
message from headquarters to
day on matters pretaining to
the present war in Europe. The
| message stated that until >fur
1 ther notice all communication
with Germany and Austria was
interrupted, and in addition no
, messages in code or cipher
would be accepted for transmis
j sion to any European country,
i and all messages to foreign
! countries were liable to delay
and censorship. No messages
will be received for transmis
sion by wireless to any vessel
in British waters. This looks
though a state of war exists all
over Europe including England.
-+
A Fillipiua arrived over from
the Rose Inlet cannery last
night with a tale of ill
usage by the Chinese boss at
the Ro<e Inlet cannery, hav
ing been hit over the head
with a revolver in the haud.-f
of the Chinaman. Another
Filipino was shot by the same
man and left at the hospital
at Sulzer. The F'ilipino swore
out a warrant for the arrest
of the Chinese boss ,and a dep
uty marshal will probably be
sent over to arrest him. Emil
Larson, superintendent of the
Rose Inlet cannery is reported
to have received a bad cut in
the face while trying to quiet
the fighting which followed
the shooting of the Filipino.
-+
A Fairbanks paper says that
among the many features of
hat city to be appreciated is
the absence of active suffrag
etts.
A five-stamp mill has been
'hipped north for the Golden
Eagle mine at Portage hay,
where a ledge of ore has been
encountered fifty feet in width,
which runs $5 to the ton.
