HAS GREAT BATTLE BEGUN
(Continued from page 1)
GERMAN PEOPLE SUFFERING
COPENHAGEN. Aug. 18.—The latest German news
papers received here carry appeals tor subscriptions tot
(he maintenance ol families ol the men who are out light
in<- The papers show that various municipalities in Ger
many are spending large sums of money for Jood tor the
poor and to prov ide work for the unemployed.
FRENCH CAPTURE AUSTRIAN
OLAN. Algeria. Aug. 10.—The Austrian steamer Eme
lia was brought into this harbor yesterday as a prize by a
French warship which captured her in the Mediterranean.
The Emelia is a ship of thirty -six hundred tons displace
ment and carried a large and valuable cargo when she was
taken. The French vvarships are now said to he very num
erous all over these middle seas and the prospects in trout
of the Austrian warships are rather bad unless the latter
can manage to remain in the lortilied harbors ol the Aus
trian coast.
EXPORT ROOM FOR lT. S.
NEW YORK. Aug. 19.—The war has caused an unpre
cedented demand in Latin American countries toi Ameii
can goods and l nited States exporters are rushed loi oi
ders in a manner that has never before been equalled. •
The agents in South Vnterica are rushing orders to
this citv so fast that the exporters declare that all the
steamships now running to South America could not han
dle one-tenth of the tonnage that can be sold there in the
near future. This fact is also regarded as pointing to a
great development also in the South American countiies
themselves and the war may. indeed, be the turning point
at which the American continent as a whole will outstrip
Europe in all kinds ol activities.
U. S. TO BUY SHIPS
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.—President Wilson has ap
proved the plan to buy a number of ships to be used in
taking foodstuffs to the Americans abroad. It has been
tentatively agreed that an appropriation of twenty-live
million dollars will be asked from congress for the pur
chase of ships which will be used for this purpose. The
plan may he opposed by some on the ground that it is
really intended as the opening wedge of a plan to have a
government owned marine. The shipping interests may
be expected, at least, to oppose it.
SAYS ALLIES WILL WIN
BRUSSELS, Aug. 1!).—Emile Vandervelde, secretary
of state for Belgium and oik* of the leaders oi the so
called socialist party in the Belgian chamber of deputies,
has returned from Paris and states it as his positive opin
ion, after close association with leading French statesmen,
that the powers of the triple entente will win a victory
over Germany and Austria finally. Vandervelde states
that they are positively certain of victory and that he him
self also is after hearing their reasons. The socialists in
this country, by the way, are all in the ranks ol the army
having had to serve like all the other citizens. They made
an effort in the beginning to create a general agitation
against the war but their efforts were too weak to have
any effect.
WHERE IS THAT LEIPZIG
VANCOUVER, Aug. 19.—The German cruiser Leipzig
is reported to have left San Francisco and the people ot
(his city are again wondering what her destination might
be. She has had some remarkable experiences and is com
ing to be regarded as a sort of phantom ship which shows
up in the most unexpected p aces. The entrances to this
city are now fairly well prepared, it is said, to resist an
attack from a hostile warsh'p. Several guns have been
mounted and the gunners sent from the east are camped
beside them constantly.
SAY GERMAN SOLDIERS HUNGRY
BRUSSELS. Aug. 19.—'The German soldiers who were
brought into this city as prisoners yesterday had beet
roots and carrots in their knapsacks and declare that they
had been living on them for several days. This is due
chiefly to the fact that the Germans met greater opposi
tion from the Belgian army than they had expected and
had not been fully prepared to supply in this country the
tremendous forces required to defeat the home army.
TREASURY TO NSURE SHIPS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—An administration bill to
create an insurance department in connection with the
treasury department has been introduced in both houses
and will probably pass. It was introduced in the house
today by Chairman Alexande * of the house merchant ma
rine committee and in the senate by Senator Clarke, chair
man of the committee on commerce of the senate. The hi!’
provides for an appropriation of ten million dollars to pay
insurance losses but this sum will probably never be need
ed as the insurance fees pro\ided for are expected not
only to meet the payments but to bring in a profit to the
government.
GERMANY MAKES NO ANSWER
TOKIO, Aug. 19.—Although the Japanese ultimatum
to Germany was delivered at the German foreign office
yesterday no reply has been received by this government.
There is a feeling here that Germany will attempt to
range China on its side before committing itself to any
course in the matter. In the meantime the Japanese gov
ernment is preparing for war and the fleets are in readi
ness to proceed against the German warships in Kiauchau
and elsewhere in the Orient. Kiauchau is strongly forti
fied by the Germans and might be able to stand a long
siege if the garrison can receive the aid of the C hinese in
the adjoining province. It is believed here that Germany
will leave Kiauchau as her forces in the Orient could never
hope to stand off the superior forces of the mikado.
MANEUVERING IN ALSACE
PARIS, Aug. 19.—The news from the seat of war con
tinues most favorable to French arms. Since the fighting
of yesterday the two great opposing forces are maneuver
ing for position like pugilists and watching for an open
ing. It must he admitted that the French commanders are
still ignorant of the real intentions of the Germans and
are remaining on the defensive to a great extent in the
hope that the enemy will show his hand.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS

ka. the last surviving member of the
pioneer party which crossed to the
Yukon basin in IhT.'l, is to be invited

Xenana section, died here from a com- j
plication of diseases. He was a pio- j
neer in Alaska and well known in
nearly all northern camps.
All the old notes belonging to the
defunct Washington-Alaska bank at
Fairbanks were sold at auction re
cently, and though the final total of
the sale is not made up, it is an
nounced that the notes and other
things sold at auction, which origi
nally represented a total valuation
of many thousand dollars brought
only a little more than $5,700.
Among the things sold were the
Third avenue property belonging to
the bank, which was purchased by J.
11. (iroves for $1,000. A cafe brought
$445, and the notes secured by jew

bids, but the other notes went for al
most nothing.
The unsecured notes with few ex
ceptions sold for from a few cents to
$15 each, regardless of their face
value. In some instances, it is de
clared. the people who issued the
notes are entirely responsible.
