VICTORIA, B.C., THREATENED
(Continued from page 1)
TURKEY ON VERGE OF WAR
LONDON, Aug. 11.—The Turkish government have
purchased from Germany the two warships, the Goeben
and Breslau, w hich escaped from Italy to the Dardanelles
some days ago and Russia. France and Great Britain have
now demanded that the Turkish government will re
patriate the German crew s. The demand is made because
of the belief that Turkey only purchased the ships to save
them from capture by the enemy and that she will use
the Goeben and Breslau and their German crew to light |
against the powers of the Triple Entente should she enter
the war. Her answer to the demand is being awaited with
eager interest. Her retusal would probably mean a dec
laration of war against her.
It is known all over Europe that the real lighting has
not yet e'en begun. The fleets ot Great Britain and tier
many are still hovering somewhere around the northern
coasts of Europe watching for the proper moment to
pounce. Some reports are to the eflect that the German
fleet is at Kiel and that the British are watching it but
are doubtful about the wisdom of attacking just yet as
they fear some ruse or trick on the part of the enemv.
PARIS PAPERS CENSORED
PARIS, Aug. 1*5.—The government made an order to
day forbidding the issuing of special editions of the news
papers here. The government has also established its own
press bureau and the ollicials of this bureau dole out the
war news to the papers. Every edition of all the news
papers are inspected by the ollicials of the government i
bureau before publication is permitted. A similar precau- j
tion has been taken in the British Islands although the
regulations there are not half as stringent. The British
government has, however, established a bureau also.
The government of France admits that the army has
met with some reverses on the German border hut con
fidence in the ability of the army to keep back the invaders
is still strong. The populace shows none of the inclination

IT. S. TO CENSOR CABLES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan have agreed thai the proper enforcement of
the neutrality law requires the censoring of the cable ser
vice throughout the country and steps will probably he
taken at once to put this ra uirement into effect. Secre
tary Houston of the department of agriculture is quite
optimistic concerning the effect of the great war on Ibis
country. He stated that we are the only large food pro
ducer which is not disturbed by the war and that England
will take our products even at great risk in crossing the
Atlantic as she will need them very badly. He also de
clared that there is a crop shortage in Europe and that
the shortage will he infinitely greater there because ol the
war.
SEATTLE, Aug. I t.—'The federal prosecutor for this
district has begun a probe hto the rise of price in food
stuffs. The rise is believed to be mostly artificial and the
full facts will he ascertained.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1 L—fl he German consul in this city
has refused to accept German reservists who are without
funds and he warns men who come from other parts of
the states who wish to go home to fight that they had
better stay away unless they are provided with the means
of keeping themselves here a id paying their I are on some
neutral ship.
SAY GERMAN PRISONERS COMPLAIN
PARIS, Aug. 14.—'The war office declares that the
Germans taken prisoner by the French troops are broken
in spirit, weak and hungry. Many ot them, they say, are
not even aware of the cause ot the war and declare that it
is a war of ollicers and not ot the people. If the report is
true Germans were not as well prepared for the war from
the commissariat point of view as they were in others and
the effect of hunger and awful hardships is said to be com
mencing to tell on them.
C APTURE 73 GERMAN SHIPS
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 14.—The government an
nounced today that the Russian fleets have captured 73
German steamers and 12 Austrian ones. Most ot the
captures were made in the Baltic where German shipping
is plentiful.
SWITZERLAND IN TROUBLE
PARIS, Aug. It.—France has charged that the Ger
mans have violated Swiss neutrality and today she de
manded the Swiss government to disarm all transient
Germans in her territory. Switzerland is, therefore, in
the position of a country that must either anger one or the
other of the great powers that are now lighting near her
border. It is charged that German forces pass over Swiss
soil near the border whenever they feel that by doing so
it would make their passage easier.
A German aviator flying a French flag sailed over
Yesoul yesterday and dropped bombs on the city inflict
ing severe damage before he was driven off by a French
sharpshooter. He succeeded in returning to German soil,
however, without injury.
HAVRE, France, Aug. 14.—The steamships France
and Chicago sailed from this port today for New W>rk.
They expect not to encounter any of the warships of the
enemy hut it is feared that the voyage is a risky one. .
AUSTRIANS GET DOWN TO WORK
LONDON, Aug. 14.—It is estimated that an Austrian
army of a quarter of a million men is now closing in on
the Russian frontier. Austria and Germany are striving
to draw Roumania over to their side as she could place an
army of at least two hundred thousand on her frontier
towards Russia and her help to keep hack the armies of
I he czar until the French can he conquered would he in
estimable. W ith Roumania and turkey on their side ac
tively the Germans and Austrians would compel Russia to
guard several additional hundreds of miles of frontier and
would also leave her open to attack on the south around
the Black sea. Great Britain in that event will undoubt
edly send a fleet to attack the Dardanelles and Constanti
nople.
The declaration of war against Austria by Great Bri
tain will also surely result in an attempt to attack the i
Austrian fleet in the Adriatic. The real sea fighting will
hardly take place for some time as all the admirals are
engaged in preparations and in discovering all they can
about the enemy.
