ESCAPE OF THE
GERMAN SHIPS
OF WAR TOLD BY
NEWSPAPER men

London, Aug. 17.-2 A. M-The
Daily Telegraph's Malta correspondent
telegraphs the following story OF the
escape of the German cruiser Goehen
and Breslau into the Dardanelles:
when the Goeben and Breslau were
hugging the Italian shores a French
army corps had to be transported from
Africa to France. British warships al
loted to the duty of warding off any
interferences were assigned to po-
sition between Italy and the line of
transportation. The plucky British
cruiser Gloucester got a chance at the
Breslau and would have sunk or cap
tured her had not the Goeben rushed
to her assistance.
1t was learned the Goeben and the
Breslau were at Syria, Greece while
there the British vessels followed
them. The Germans, however, hid
themselves among the islands of the
Greek archipelago. 1.-THE British ships
scattered and searched for them. The
Gloucester and some destroyers got
into touch with the Germans but the
Goeben and Breslau found out they
had been discovered and made a flight.
The British fleet were at their heels
and they avoided capture by entering
the Dardanelles.

Insure Arrival

Owing to doubts whether communi-
cations with Berlin were assured, Jap
an in order to insure the arrival of
the ultimatum, forwarded it to Berlin
by five channels, including Washing
ton, London and Stockholm. The gov
eminent also notified Count Won Rex,
German ambassador to Japan and
likewise retarded the time limit for a
reply until Aug. %.
Count Okuma. the Japanese premier,
today invited the peers, the newspaper
men and the leading business men of
Toxic to come to his office at noon, at
o'clock and at o'clock in the after
noon respectively, when he made
known to them the terms of the ulti-
matum and announced that he would
give GU the negotiations in connection
with the alliance.
Inspired utterances express regret at
the inability to maintain neutrality
but say that Great Britain, the ally
of Japan, is compelled to defend her
self against the aggression of Ger
many. Moreover, it is pointed out that
Germany is making preparation, day
and night, at Kiau Chau, where it is
storing provisions while its warships
are securing the seas of Eastern Asia
to the great detriment of commerce
and that it's converted cruisers are
selling English merchant vessels. Such
actions. it is argued, are directly cal
culated to disturb the peace of Eastern
Asia and accordingly. after full and
frank communication with Great Brit
ain, Japan has found herself compelled
to send an ultimatum to Germany.
The japanese war office summoned
all newspaper men at l o'clock this
afternoon, in order that they might
receive Instructions in regard to the
publication Of news in the event of a
state of war comes into force.
The text of the Japanese ultimatum
has created a profound impression, al
though it had been predicted that
Japan was making ready to participate
in the war.
Count Okuma, the premier, and Ia
kaaki Kato, the foreign minister. de-
clared that Japan had no ambition for

Of Sharp Fire

Paris, Aug. 16.-(410 P. M)-Details
of a daring exploit at Metz carried

given out today in an official COM
munication issued by the war office
which says:
AT half past five on Friday eve
ming Lieut.. Casari and Corporal Prud-
homme, flying in separate aeroplanes,
left the French fortress of Verdun
with orders to reconnoiter and if pos
sible destroy the dirigible balloon shed
IN the German fortress at Metz.
Lieut. Sesari flew over the fortress
at height of nearly 5000 feet while
Corporal Prudhemme at the lower al
titude of about $500 feet
"A terrific fire was directed on the
two aviators from the fortress garri-
son and during the fussilaoe the mo-
tor of the lieutenant's neroplane stop
ped. AS he did not wish to fail in his
mission he began to volplane and
while doing this threw a bomb with
marvellous GOODNESS. Shortly afterward
he succeeded in getting his motor
started again.
THE smoke over the city prevented
the aviators seeing whether they had
been successful They few away amid
a rain of shells from quick firing guns
and returned safely to Verdun
The official communication contin-
ues:

prisoners by the French when they occu-
pied a number of mountains in the vi
entity Of Denomor Rougemont, on the
border of German Lorraine. on Friday.
The Dutch troops in The Netherlands

burg are showing discomfort against the
Germans. whom they accuse of being re-
sponsible for the actual situation.
Further details of the fighting around
Blamont and Cirey-Sur- Vezouze In the
French department of Meurthe Eth Mo-
selle, show that the Germans were
strongly entrenched behind earthworks
near Blamont when, on Friday evening,
the French division began their attack.
The Germant outposts repulsed the
French the following afternoon and sue
eeeded In taking Blamont and Grey. The
German casualties were severe. All tht
German and Austrian subjects resident
lin Morocco have been expelled by the
French authorities.

visions in France prevents for the mo-
unent the resumption of normal traffic on
the railroads, but later on it will be pos
sible to increase the number of trains

AMERICANS Who
WERE 0VERTAKEN
IN EUROPE REACH
BOSTON SAFELY
200 Arrive on Steamer
Canopic of White
Star Line

Boston, Aug. 16.-Two hundred
American tourists who were overtak-
en- in southern Europe by the war,
arrived today on the steamer Canopic
of the White Star Line, some of them
destitute.
From Gibraltar she was escorted
far out into the Atlantic by two tor
pedo boat destroyers. The passengers
expressed belief that the liner was
under the surveillance by British
cruisers throughout the voyage.
The usual stop at the Azores was
omitted. When the Canopic left Ma
pies, English soueveigns were selling
for 80 shillings.
Throughout the voyage the ports on
the Canopic were covered and all the
electric bulbs were removed soon aft
er leaving Naples.
Among the passengers were MIR. and
Mrs. H. E. Cookson of ST. Louis, who
landed with only one handbag and
very little money. They were bound
for Egypt on the German steamer Cen
eral when war broke out. Within q
few miles of Port Said on Aug. l, the
German cruiser Goeben halted the
. General at midnight with two shots
across the bow and ordered her to
put back to Messina at full speed.
There the passengers were rushed
ashore without their trunks and the
General left the harbor within half
an hour. The passengers believed that
she turned over much of her coal and
provisions to the Goeben.
Miss Anna Mcclure of BROOKLYN
travelled three days in Switzerland
without food in order to save money
for her passage.

GERMAN NOTE
THREATENS THE
Furnishing OF
UNFAIR ATTACK

Berlin, via Copenhagen and London,
6.15 P. M, Aug 16.-The Wolff Bureau,
the semi official news agency of Ger
many, circulates the following note:
THE conduct of the Russians in
those places taken by us appears like
the conduct of the Belgian population
toward the German troops, contrary to
the law of nations.
Last night shots were fired on Ger
man troops from an ambush at Kalize
in Russian Poland Two soldiers were
killed and 20 or 80 wounded 1t seems
undoubted that the attack was deliv-
cred by nonmilitary inhabitants of
the place and it is suspected that these
bands are connected with the govern
ment.
AS in France and Belgium, therGer-
man troops will act drastically in or
der to suppress these attacks"

lance between Japan and Great
Britain.

enduring peace in eastern Asia,

aim of the said agreement, the
Imperial Japanese government

propositions:
"First-To withdraw immedi-
ateIy from Japanese and Chi
nese waters German men of
war and armed vessels of all
kinds and to disarm at once

"Second-To deliver on date

Imperial Japanese authorities
without condition or compensa-
ton the entire leased territory
of kiau Chau with a view to
the eventual restoration of the
same to China.
1.-THE imperial Japanese gov
eminent announced at the same
time that in the event it not re-
ceiving by noon on August %,
