WAR COST TOTALS
$2O,OOO,OOO DAY
Britain Sends Out Trained
Bloodhounds to Help
Find Wounded.
Try Gable to The Tribuno.l

London, Aug. 15.-According TO an
official report Just issued the reminder
is afforded that the actual cost of war
per day in January, 1871. TO the French
government was $3,500,00O, while the
cost per day of every man under arms
during the entire period of the war
was So rs. In 1871, however. France
had only 100000 men in the field.
Conditions have changed very much
since then and warfare is far more
costly. A recent French estimate puts
the expenditure for war i'm which
France, Russia, Germany and Austria
we're engaged. at S1s,000,000 per day
But an estimate made at the time OF
the Balkan war puts the actual expense
of European campaign at Sll,000,000
a day. None Of these estimates in
cluded England. The cost of the war
may, therefore, easily total S20,0O0,000
a day.
Dogs for the Red Cross.
Major Richardson, the famous trainer
of dogs for police, sentry and ambu
lance work, is leaving England on
Tuesday for Belgium, and is taking
with him a number Of bloodhoundS
specially trained for ambulance pur-
poses. Mr.. Richardson is going with
members Of the British Red Cross and
the dogs will help search for the
wounded of the allied armies on the
battlefield. The dogs are specially
valuable In rocky places or where the
ground is covered with bushes and
underground. They are also particu-
larry serviceable in seeming out pa
tients who might otherwise be over
looked by the field hospital brigade.
The French army is especially well
provided with ambulance dogs trained
TO a very high pitch. Germany has
several thousand dogs trained for am
bulance and sentry work, and III
mobilization all these are carefully
provided for.
More than a thousand men of the
universities Of Oxford, Cambridge,
Dublin and Edinburgh have applied for
commissions in the army. More than
hundred have already been granted.

various conflicts about which reports
ALREADY have been published, gives Off
cial confirmation of a Russian victory
over the Austrians on the River Dnies-
ter. He says the 4th Infantry regi.
ment and the LIST Cavalry regiment OF
the Austrian army were annihilated by
the Russians.
The French Minister adds that the
positions at Mulhausen and Liege are
unchanged, and concludes:
an consequence Of the universal out
cry, the German government has declo-
ed To remit to the former French Am
bassador at Berlin the 5000 he was
compelled to pay for his journey back

CAN'T FORCE U. S.
ALIENS into WAR
Foreign Powers Cannot
Compel Return of Sub
iects for Military Duty.

Washington, Aug 15.-In response TO
MANY injuries from foreign born resi-
dents of the United States in all parts
of the country, Secretary Bryan an
nounced to-day that "the United States
is not a party to any treaties under
which persons of foreign origin resld-
ing in this country may be compelled
TO return to their country OF origin
for military service, nor is there any
way in which persons may be forced
into foreign armies against their Wills
as long as they remain in the united
States"
The inquiries came from persons
who have been naturalized and also
from those who have made declarations
of their intention to become American
citizens. Some came from persons who
have taken no steps toward American
citizenship.
"The United States holds" says Mr..
Bryan's statement, that no natural
lied citizen of this country can right
fully be held TO account for military
liability to his native land accruing
SUBSEQUENT to immigration therefrom,
hut this principle may be contested by
countries with which the United States
has not entered into treaties Of nat
uralization. The latter countries may
hold that naturalization Of their citi-
zens or subjects as citizens of other
countries has no effect upon their
original military obligation, or may
denv the right Of their citizens or SUB
iects to become naturaliZed citizens OF
other countries in the absence Of ex-
press consent or without the tulhil-
ment OF military obligations.
at is important 20 observe that an
alien who declares his intention to be-
come a citizen of the United States
does not al the time Of making such
declaration rcnounce allegiance TO his
original sovereign, but merely declares
that he intends TO do so. Sucn person
does not, by his declaration OF inteh..
TOR. acquire the status OF citizen OF
the United States. =.
"Tbe department cannot undertake 10

Inflammation Of this kind must be Cd
tained from officials OF the foreign
countries concerned. ,,a
STbe United States has concluded

reco0nized, with the reservation, IN
most OF them, that such persons re-

The "Berliner Tageblatp Of August

tains a manifesto to the German nation
bv General Stein, Of the German gen
eral staff. in which the public IS eau
toned against believing any statements
except those given out by the general
staff. It says: -.
an England and France talsehoods
arc being spread broadcast. .,
"You Germans have too much faltn
in your government TO accept rumors
too easily.
"The English accuse US Of having
suggested partition with Holland IN
exchange for her neutrality. Such
charges are beneath contempt and dem
onstrate the righteousness Of our cause
and the wickedness Of our enemies.
"You Germans also are spreading ru-
mors of victories and defeats, such as
the German occupation of Belfort and
the destruction of French regiments
wholesale.
Everything will be published at the
proper time. and we have given our
word that nothing shall be exaggerated
and nothing minimized.
Few except those who are expert
enced in warfare can know or show
with what difficulties victories are
won"
Another Berlin paper declares that
Great Britain is paralyzing American
diplomatic relations by preventing
American Ambassadors sending dis
patches in cipher.
Berlin (via London. Aug. 15.-The
government has extended the mora
forum to the end of September.
The Americans in Berlin are not al
together INDECENT, although about one
hundred of them have been obliged 70
seek succor from their German and
American friends because money sent
TO them from America has not arrived.
The Chamber of Commerce OF Ber-
lin has arranged that poor, sick Amer
leans shall be admitted TO hospitals
gratuitously.
It is hoped that the United States
will be able to obtain the consent OF
the European powers now at war to
the charter of a German steamer to
return American citizens to the United
States. The German Government IS
ready 70 negotiate in order TO obtain
guarantees for the safe passage of such
a steamer.

fined to the announcement that Amerl-
cans might leave as fast as train SER
