BOM BARD GERMANS ALL NIGHT
PARIS, Sept. 22.—(Tuesday, I p. m.)—The greatest
cannonading ot* all warfare took place last night when the
allied armies kept up a constant bombardment of the Gei
man trenches all night through along the whole front of
ninety miles. The intention is supposed to have been to
still further harass the weary German troops and to ten
der them unlit for the assaults that are almost certain to
be made tomorrow. Fhe constant roar of the great guns
across the miles and miles ot plains is described as one of
the most aw ful events ever associated with a battle.
AUSTRALIA NOW GETS AFTER TRUSTS
SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 22.—1The advancing cost of
living in Australia, charged in part to “the machinations
• of the American meat trust has caused the state govern
ment of Queensland, where the C hicago packing firms are
said to have gained a foothold, to propose exercising its
power of resumption over many holdings ot grazing land,
with a view to cattle raising. Wool has heretofore been
the prime consideration among Australian ranchmen, but
at the recent meeting of the Sheepbreeder’s association,
its president. Sir Francis Suttor, urged the breeding of
meat-producing sheep.
TURKEY THREATENED BY BRITAIN
BUCHAREST, Sept. 23.—The intention of Turkey to
enter the war has evidently been abandoned although the
troops of the .Sultan are still being kept in a state of mo
bilization. It is generally understood in this part of
Europe that Turkey would have declared war some time
ago had it not happened that the British government
threatened to drive the Turks out of Europe altogether
and place Turkey in Asia under British sovereignty. This
threat is generally believed to have been made but it is
thought that Turkey would have gone to war anyhow had
the Germans captured Paris.
SPANIARDS FOR THE ALLIES
MADRID. Sept. 23.—The government has issued once
more a proclamation to the effect that in the present war
Spain is maintaining strict neutrality. Notwithstanding
this fact the people almost entirely are in favor of the

allies. The fleet is known to have been mobilized but very
little changes have taken place in the usual disposition of
the land forces although the minister of war has plans
fully prepared should the country be drawn accidentally
into the vortex of fighting nations. Portugal, while she
has declared openly in favor of Great Britain, has taken
no active step in the matter.
ONE SUBMARINE SANK ALL THREE
BERLIN, Sept. 23.—The official announcement was
exultantly made here today by the government that the
three big British cruisers were all sunk by one submarine
vessel single handed. This submarine is known as “29”
simply but that name is today the most famous one in the
German empire. The success of the vessel is regarded as
something of vastly greater importance than that which
could come from the mere sinking of three cruisers. It is
taken to mean that against submarines the superiority of
the British navy in large ships has been proven non-exis
tant and the fact is of the utmost significance. The de
tails of the story of the work of the Twenty-nine have not
yet been given out and there is being awaited with the!
most lively anticipations as they are sure to be thrilling.

ANOTHER BRITISH SHIP SUNK
LONDON, Sept. 23.—The British trawler Kilmarnock
has been sunk by a German mine in the North Sea and
only three members of the crew have been saved. This
news has come to be so frequent recently that the people
are beginning to look forward to the relation ot a similar
story every morning and the greatest dissatisl action has
resulted. The number of the people lost on the Kilmar
nock has not been given out but it is not believed to be very
great. Should the war last a year or two and should the
same rate of sea disasters continue, the people and press
point out, it would mean a very grave danger to the su
premacy of the empire on the water.
RUSSIA SIGNS U. S. PEACE PACT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—The Russian government
has authorized its ambassador here to sign the peace trea
ty proposed by the government of the United States and
which has already been signed by France and Great Bri
tain. This treaty is the Bryan peace pact which requires
the countries signing it to await the decision of a commis
sion before declaring hostilities.
SERVIANS TAKE CITY !
NISH. Servia, Sept. 23.—The Servian army has taken
the town of Liumbovia in Bosnia after violent fighting
with the Austrians. The battle was one of the fiercest
that have taken place between the armies of these two
countries and the losses on both sides were very\ great.
The Servians continue to make progress in Bosnia and the
Austrians are still retreating before them.

CHINA CANNOT STOP JAPS
PEKIN. Sept. 23.—Germany has entered a formal pro
test to China against letting the Japanese troops violate
the neutrality of China by sending its army through Chi
nese territory to attack the Germans and China has re
plied to the effect that she is not able to enforce neutrality
against so powerful a nation as Japan. The whole affair1
so resembles the circumstances connected with the inva
sion of Belgium that it is regarded as amusing and re
markable. In this case China bows to the inevitable while j

SERVIANS OCCUPY SERAJEVO
NISH, Sept. 22.—The Servian and Montenegrin armies
have occupied Serajcvo, the capital of the Austrian prov
ince of Bosnia, after an overwhelming defeat of the army
of the enemy. The Austrians lied in disorder after the de
feat and left the city open on all sides to the entrance of
the troops of this country. The Austrians have been fore- ■
ed to retreat along the entire front between Lioubovia, j
Svornin and Losnitza and are being hotly pursued by thej
allied troops. Serajcvo is nearly forty miles from the|
Servian border and is a town of more than thirty thou
sand people. The chief importance of the event is that
Bosnia is a Slav province which is said to be always ready
for revolt against Austrian rule and only waiting the op
portunity to declare itself.
CANADA GIVES 10,000 MEN
OTTAWA, Sept. 22.—By next January the Dominion
of Canada will have forty thousand men in the field either
in England or on the continent ready to aid the British
armies. The recruiting is now going on and the dominion
government is making preparations for appropriations
I for the purpose of keeping the army equipped and sup
■ plied with provisions and pay. Some ot the people in
Canada are now exceedingly hitter in their remarks about
those who have opposed the building of a Canadian navy
which would have been able to defend the coasts of Can
ada and Australia is able to defend its coasts. Canada is
as one man in this war and Frenchmen are just as eager
as Britons to enter the fight in Europe. The alliance of
France and Britain in the war is almost sure to have one
most beneficial effect on this dominion by drawing to
gether the people of the two nationalities as they were
certainly never drawn towards each other before.
BELGIANS MAKE SORTIE FROM ANTWERP
ANTWERP, Sept. 23.—The Belgian army made a sor
tie from the ramparts of Antwerp yesterday on the Ger
man army which has its base resting on the city of Brus
sels. The Belgians marched across the country for some
thing like fifteen miles and the advance guard exchanged
shots with the German outposts thirteen miles from the
capital. The sortie was rather in the nature of a rccon
nuisance and the Belgians marched back to this city after
ihe engagement. It was learned by the sortie that the.
enemy has a large force around Brussels which is intend
ed to mask Antwerp and at the same time cover the Ger
man rear from possible attacks by the British landing at
Ostend or elsewhere. It is made certain, therefore, that
as long as Antwerp stands the enemy will he forced to
keep a large army out of the actual fighting in France.
EXHIBITION FOR PANAMA
PANAMA, Sept. 22.—Working models of the locks at
Pedro Miguel and the Gatur, Dam and Spillway will form
the main feature of the Panama canal exhibit at the Pan
ama national exhibition which will be held at Panama con
currently with the formal opening of the canal next
March. Plans also are underway for a large and impor
tant exhibition by the department of public health of the
canal government. This is to take the form of maps of
the city of Colon and Panama showing the decrease in
sickness and the death rate in the various districts, and
photographs showing the condition of these towns and
the canal zone before the sanitation work began and as it
is today.
