PROPHEsYs WAR BETWEEN
 GERMANY AND BRITAIN
Lord Northcliffe, Proprietor of The London "Times" Says 1912
 Is the Hateful Year

Winnipeg, Sept. 7.-Lord Northcliffe owner of the London Times, in an in terview today predicted war between Germany and Great Britain. He said that in the Krupp gun works alone 100, 900 men were working day and night and Sundays preparing for war.
 He said: "I would make the sug- gestion, with all respect to the Cana dians who are investing their moIesy and labor in constructing railroads and building grain elevators, that they keep an eye on European affairs and begin to figure out why all the ship building yards in Germany are busy constructing rapid cruisers and first class battleships, and why krupp's works have increased their hands to over 100000 men, nearly the population of Winnipeg. They will fight or threaten again when they think it will pay. Many people say now they will fight England in the near future, and some have mentioned the year 1912"

AN OFFICIAL BULLETIN
It Was Sent to the Geographical So-
 ciety By Peary

Washington, Sept. 7.-Peary today officially notified the national geo graphical society that he had reached the pole The board of managers Of the society through President Moore. teIegraphed the following reply: Tn answer to your telegram reporting you have reached the north pole. the so- ciety, through the action of the board of managers today extends its heart jest congratulations on your achieve ment'
 A statement given out by the board says: The board decided to take no action regarding the honOrs to Arctic explorers until after detailed observa- tions and records are submitted to and passed upon by competent authorities. The society is planning brilliant ban quet for next winter with the two discoverers, Cook and Peary, and the British explorer, who penetrated far thest in seeking the south pole, Lieut. enant Shackleton, as the star figures. pr. O. H. Tittman the head of the United States coast and geodetic sur vey, is on his way to England bear ing the information of the society to Cook and Shackleton. Peary's exploit had not become known when Superin- tendent Tittman sent his list Satur- day, but he was advised to include Peary on the banquet program. Act ing Superintendent Perkins of the coast and geodetic survey, declared today that the dual discovery. of the pole strengthens the claims of each explorer. "Peary went equipped with all modern instruments with which to record his observations and demon strate the truth of his discovery" said Perkins. The question now resolves itself into one of priority. Peary and Cook doubtless will fight that out be- tween themselves. According to Cook he discovered the pole before Peary started. That detracts nothing from Peary's honor and glory. Each explorer has fought his battles with out the aid or observations of the other There is honor enough for both"

He Reported to Geographi- cal Society Then Put to Sea Again Mrs. Peary Will Join Him in North Sydney in a Day or Two

Peary having discovered the north pole in April 1909 as told in series of messages yesterday from Labrador, was figuratively lost to the world last night, homeward bound on the Roose- welt. At Copenhagen, royalty contin- ued to pay homage to Dr. Cook. Neith- CT saw the indications of the others 8 achievement, and both will be in the United States before the close of the month Peary on the Roosevelt, ac- cording to the best reckoning. was in the vicinity of Strat Belle island, between Newfoundland and the Prov ince of Quebec, last night. Inadequate telegraphic facilities may cause him to decide to proceed north to Sydney be- fore he gives to the world the details of his triumph. Peary had intended stopping at Chateau Bay, Labrador, but the telegraph station there was abandoned some time ago. It is 45O miles from Chateau Bay to North Syd- ney and the time of his arrival can only be guessed. The Roosevelt may reach there late tomorrow.

HARTMAN |S
 STILL ALIVE
Rumor That He Is Dead Is
 Emphatiea|ly Denied
CRISIS IS NOW AT HAND

Arden, Sept. 7.-After a night of un- certainty it was determined shortly after midnight that Hartman was not in such a critical condition as the earlier reports indicated. A party of newspaper men succeeded in reaching his house and talking with Dr. Lyle, who said emphatically there was on cause for alarm.
 Rumors of a most alarming nature were circulated in the early part of the night. Shortly after 1 o'clock yes terday came a report that the financier had died of a sudden collapse. Where this rumor came from no one can say, but with the difficulty of obtaining communication with the Hartman home, it was given wide circulation and spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast before a denial over the telephone from pr. Lyle set it at rest. pr. Lyle declined to add even a word to the denial. His refusal gave further grounds for speculation on the situa- ton, readily seized by alarmists. The optimistic tenor of the statement is sued in New York by a friend of Har- riman's did not serve to quiet the ap-. prehension felt there and 1t was pointed out that the information may have been a day old.
 Evidence pointing to serious set back in Harriman's condition began to accumulate early in the afternoon, confirming the reports from unofficial channels which the large number of employees surrounding the sick man offer in great variety. Three men, whose professional appearances led at once to the conclusion that they were physicians, were rushed through the town in an automobile shortly after noon and there were other visitors, personal friends, whose hurried ar rival was taken to mean a change for the worse. While Judge R r. Lovett. Harrimans business adviser in his of flee in New York. was attending a meeting of the directors of the Union and Southern Pacific railroads, it was learned last night he had left imme- diately after the meeting and hurried to Arden. He reached the Hartman home shortly before nine. The hurried trip, it was believed, must have been | the result of disquieting news from the Hartman house.
 The portion of the New York state ment which spoke of Harriman's busi- | ness enemies gained special signifi- canoe this afternoon when it was learned that certain Wall street inter ests have a representative here whose | only duty. is to report on what tran | spires on Tower Hill. The market
 slump in Union Pacific today is largely l accounted for by the belief that the re- ports of this representative upheld the
 most sensational newspaper bulletins | issued today. Dr. Lyle declined all day to respond to telephone calls or
 make any statements during the night | The only words elicited from him were | in brief denial which he authorized
 when informed reports of Harriman'S
 death were being circulated. 'That
 report is untrue. Hartman is not dead" he said, and then hung up the
 receiver.

THE WESTERN ROUTE

Copenhagen, Sept. With regard to the statement that he had chosen a western route to avoid observation by his competitors, Cook said he could only repeat the statement made in his speeches and lectures that he selected the western route simply as a result Of the careful study of Sver- drup's explorations, which convinced him that that is the most feasible route. At the conclusion of Cooks lecture the rector of the university strongly affirmed his belief that the journey had been accomplished as de- sCribed.
