AUSTRIANS THROWN
BACK OVER DRINA
NISH. Servia. Sept. 9.—The Servians have continued
on the offensive against the Austrians in the direction of
Vishegrad and have thrown the Austrians hack
where on the left bank of the river Drina which separates
Austria from Servia. Although the war department has
not said so it is probably the intention ot Servia to cross
the Drina if possible and attack the enemy in its own terri
tory. Hardlv an Austrian soldier now stands on Servian
soil. Thev retreated for the greater part some tune ago
across the river and the last assaults have driven the re
mainder thither. It is said that the Bosnian revolt K
growing dailv and that nothing is wanted but the pres
ence of Servian troops in that province to drive all the
people to arms.
TWO MILLION RUSSIANS ADVANCE
LONDON. Sept. 9.—Berlin is now turning anxious
eves to Galicia where the Russians are winning tremen
dous victories almost every day over the Austrians-. Rus
sia is now also assuming the offensive again in Last I 1 us
sia and has thrown a mighty host of two million men
along the German trontier. I his action is legarded here
as a menace to the heart ot Germany and that it must be
answered bv the rushing of a great force of Germans to
meet the awful threat of the Russians is certain. The re
port that there is an immense movement of German
troops from the west to the east is generally credited as
Germanv would hardly be less than mad not to oppose the
Russian advance at once. It is assumed that Russia has
not less than four million men either at the frontier or
marching towards it and all the western part of the czar’s
dominions are simply alive with countless legions of
armed men.
PRESIDENT OPPOSES INCOME TAX
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—President Wilson today ex
pressed himself as not favoring the imposition of the in
come tax to raise revenue during the war as he believes
that it is not responsive enough to meet the requirements.
No agreement has been arrived at yet as to what articles
should he taxed additionally as there are as many difTei
ent opinions almost as there are things to be taxed.
KAISER ACCUSES ENEMIES
BERLIN, Sept. 9.—The emperor of Germany has dis
patched a telegram to President A\ ilson of the l nited
States in which he declares that the French and British
soldiers are using dum dum bullets and that they ha\e
also committed other atrocities against surgeons, nurses
and, particularly, against wounded German soldiers. The
dum dum bullet explodes or hursts when it enters the body
and causes frightful wounds.
MILLION AUSTRIANS ADVANCE
PETROGRAD, Sept. 9.—An Austrian army of one
million men is now advancing on the city of Lublin in Rus
sian Poland and the Russian armies in that region are now
advancing for the purpose ot dividing that force and at
tacking the two parts separately. The battle is already
progressing and the plan of the Russians is succeeding
even better than had been expected.
It was reported here some time ago that the Russians
had surrounded the Austrians at Lublin but there was evi
dently some mistake made. The center ot the war is now
gradually moving eastward and from this time forward
the greatest fighting will probably be done along the east
frontiers of Germany and Austria.

EVACUATE RUSSIAN POLAND
The Austrians have now entirely evacuated Russian
Poland according to the latest information arriving in this
city. They had been threatening Lublin with a great
force it was supposed but now all danger from that source
is believed to be ended.
REFUSE MEDICAL AID
NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—The German and French gov-,
ernments have refused to let the American hospital ship
Red Cross land in their territory. It carries nurses, phy
sicians and all kinds of medical supplies but the govern
ments of the warring nations apparently regard it as an
intrusion. It was formerly a German liner and this tact
may be the real cause of the French refusal as the V rench
government has always protested against the purchase of
the German ships which were forced to put into American
ports for protection.
WAR NOTES
1
The London official information bureau announces
that Apia, a seaport of Upolu, Samoan Islands, and capital
of the German part of the group, surrendered on the
morning of August 29 to a British force from New Zea
land. Germany’s Samoan possession has been regarded
as her most important strategic possession in the Pacific.
According to a dispatch to an exchange the Germans
actually had surrounded Paris some days ago but the al
lied troops succeeded in keeping to the south of them so
that the Germans south of the city were compelled to fall
back and face around.
Lord Kitchener recently made his first speech in the
house of lords since his appointment as secretary of state
for war. He intimated that the war might last for years
but his tone was eminently hopeful.
Some dispatches to outside papers say that British tor
pedo boats steamed into Kiauchau harbor since the open
ing of hostilities by Japan and that after an exchange of
shots with the German guns they withdrew. The move is
said to have been made only for the purpose of reconnoi
tering.
British papers say that the mob in Berlin broke the
windows of the British embassy on the night after the
declaration of war. One of the kaiser’s cabinet ministers
himself drove up to ask the mob to desist.
In a dispatch some days ago to the kaiser the emperor
of Austria declared that “God is evidently with us, my
dear friend”.
General Conrad, chief of staff of the Austrian army,
has written to the Italian government denying that Aus
tria intends to invade Italy to inflict punishment for
Italy’s refusal to join her allies.
In the battle near Charleroi in Belgium the British
cavalry lost about two thousand men. Four-fifths of those *
losses were sustained during the retreat.
Earl Kitchener has sent the following dispatch to Sir
John French, the British commander in the field: “Con
gratulate the troops on their splendid work. We are proud
of them”.
The Berlin newspaper Vissiche Zeitung said on the
declaration of war by Japan: “One more declaration of
war cannot frighten Germany, and Japan’s action is with
out importance”.
TRADE COMMISSION
BILL ADOPTED
Remarkable New Attempt to Regu
late Trade Approved by Senate
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The con
ference report on the federal trade
commission bill has been adopted by
the senate by a vote of forty-three to
five. The senators voting against it
were Burton, Gallingcr, McCumber,
Oliver and Smoot. The bill is intend
ed to regulate trade as the interstate
commerce commission regulates it
within its own particular domain.
It is regarded as extraordinary that
the majority was so large as many
senators were supposed to have busi
ness affiliations which would almost
surely influence them against the
measure.
FEAR THAT MAN IS
LOST NEAR SUSITNA
Word has just been received in
Seward of the possible loss of a pros
pector by the name of* Richardson.
Richardson in company w’ith one Dr.
Hawes, left Susitna Station about a
month ago to visit some placer ground
on the upper reaches of the Susitna
river. When the party got well up
the river, Richardson left camp one
morning saying that he would take a
look over another creek and would be
back that night. Dr. Hawes was to
stay with the outfit. That night Ric
hardson did not return and Hawes
after spending a week in camp alone
made a cashe of the grub and made
the trip back to Susitna station alone.
Richardson has not shown up yet and
grave fears are entertained for fits
safety although it is possible that he
may still be alive and well as there
are lots of game and berries in that
section and he had a gun when he dis
appeared.
PALMER C REEK STAMP
MILL MOST SUC CESSFUL I
Jack Hirahey Is Taking Out Twenty I
Ounces Every Day
Jack Hirahey who is operating a I
small stamp mill on his Palmer Creek I
property is meeting with most grati- I
fying success according to reports I
reaching Seward from Hope. Mr. I
Hirahey is only able to put through I;
from a half ton to a ton of ore a day \\
on account of his limited milling ca- I
pacity but wtih this small equipment I
is taking twenty ounces off the platen I
every day and has been doing this for |;
the past four weeks.
He is sinking on the ore and so far I
the values seem to get better with L
depth. He has about twenty inches
of high grade ore in sight that will
run away up and much of it will run
close to a thousand dollars per ton.
This year will be the last year that
he will use the small mill that he is
operating with at present as he is
planning on shipping in a five-stamp
mill this winter and getting it all set
up and ready for business by spring. I
This winter will be spent in doing de- I
velopment work and if the ledge I
should hold its present size and value I
the cleanups next summer with a good I
sized milling unit will be something I
to tell chechacos about.
