Churchill Issues Denial of
Naval Battle in North Sea

London. Aug. S.-Winston Spencer
Churchill. first lord Of the British adj
miralty, announced today in the house
Of that there had been no
fighting and no loses OF any kind other
than had already been officially made
public.
The first lord said:
apart from the loss Of the small
British cruiser Amphion n the Ger
man mine layer Koenigin Luise there
has been no other fighting and no
other loss as far as we are aware.
ION Wednesday a flotilla of torpedo
boat destroyers while %patrolling the
upper reaches of the channel found the
Koenigin Luise laying mines. A de-
stroyer pursued and sank her. About
80 Of her crew. which probably num-
bered 100 or 100 men were hutnanely
saved by the crews of the British de-
stroyers. -.
.The Amphion continued to scout
with the flotilla and while on the re-
turn journey was blown up by a mine.
'The indiscriminate use of mines not
in connection with military harbors or
strategic positions and the indiscrim-
mate scattering Of contact mines about
the seas might, of course. destroy not
only warships. but peaceful merchant
ships under q neutral flag and possibly

carrying supplies to a neutral country.
This use of mines is new in warfare
and deserves the attentive consideration
not only OF those of us who are engaged
in war. but of the nations II the civil
lied world.
THE admiralty is not at all alarmed
or disconnected by this incident"
Mr.. Churchill added that arrange
ments had been made such as would
reduce h possibility of accidents
caused by mines to a minimum.
Referring to the d~isconcerting war
rumors spread by the newspapers. Mr..
Churchill said they were probably due
to strict censorship prevailing and this
caused the papers to I'LL their columns
with reports from irresponsible and
nervous persons on the coast.
Mr.. Churchill announced that the
British government had decided to
establish a press bureau presided over
by Frederick e. Smith. a member Of
parliament. and from this bureau IL to
be issued a steady supply Of trust
worthy information from both the adj
miralty and war offices, without. how
ever. placing in danger the naval and
military interests Of the country. In
this way. he said. the country would
be kept truthfully informed Of the
state of affairs.

COUNTRY BANKERS SAY
There ARE TWO VIEWS
Discuss George M. Reynolds
Plea to Small Banks-Biq
Cities Want All Money.

Chicago. ILL.,. Aug. 8.-The Chicago
Live Stock World avs country banks
which have made loans in Chicago on
call through their Chicago corresponds
ents began Wednesday to accept the
situation n permit their loans to
to stand
George NJ. Reynolds, president of the
Continental and Commercial National
bank. said:
I'VE wrote nearly all the country
banks in which We nave loaned money
and explained to them that this was no
time to call loans n that the banks
ought to cooperate in preserving the
situation. Today we had perhaps
70 banks ask us to call loans but
we explained by telephone why such
action was not desirable.
We told them We would look after
margins and that there was no occa-
sion for disturbing the loans that are
now standing. This in every instance
proved satisfactory to the banks and
over our country bank oans."
Action of some big city bankers in
calling in money loaned in the smaller
centers. while at the same time asking
small town banks not to call loans

being discussed critically by ountry
bankers of Iowa and South Dakota.
This isn't a fair proposition on the
face of it," said a country banker in
Sioux City today. 1T is important that
the money markets of the entire coun-
try be relieved in every way possible at
this time. but I do not see that the big
cities have the right to claim all the re-
lief available"
During the dull seasons in the coun-
try banking business much money is
sent into city banks by country banks
to be put out on call loans by corre-
s%pondents in order that it may be
dra wing interest and not lying idle, The
sudden stringency Of the money market
brought on by the European war
caused many country %depositors to ask
that their money be brought home.
This what a call loan is for. to be
called when the lender wants the
money. This why the lender has ac-
cepted a very low rate of interest on
such loans.

was turning turtle.
Under the highest pressure of her
turbine engines. with all ports blanket
ed and not a light showing, she sped
over the 140 miles thai lay between her
and safety from German cruisers. Be-
hind her came the Essex, whose search
lights could be seen flashing at night
across h horizon as she scanned the
waters for the enemy.
The Mauretanfa's passengers were
Cured. They had received no intima-
ton of the declaration OF war. The
Mauretania sailed from Liverpool at
1855 p. M. August 1, amid the utmost
excitement. Many would-be passengers
were left behind on the piers. The
Mauretania's daily runs from noon to
noon of each day were: To noon Sun
day, 5S5 miles; Monday, 61O miles:
Tuesday, 500; Wednesday,, $50. and
lei the SIS miles to Halifax, a total
of 1882 miles.
This distance was heightened by the
steamer having first taken the New
York route and having to change her
course when warned by the Essex. The
actual time to Halifax could have been
reduced six III had a direct route
been taken. Six hours more were lost
in fog and in lodging steamers and
cruisers. thereby bringing down to
three days and 20 hours the time
in which the fleet Cunarder could have
covered the distance from Liverpool to
Halifax.

AUSTRIA REALIZES SHE

London. Aug. Show great are Aus
tria's preparations for war. not mere
ly on the Danube, but for war with
the great powers, is shown in a letter
received by a London commercial firm
from q Bohemian firm with which 1t

The letter says:
w are fully at war. For Austria
it would be easy to blow Servia off the
map. but Servia does not go to war
This mean that we have to deal with a
greater enemy than Servia. 1t means
the whole Slav race. which wants to
cross Europe from east to west through
Austria Hungary.

ION Monday morning We could do
by to all our workpeople. Hardly any
n left except h girls of the button,
| crystal, and other departments"
The letter proceeds to give counter
handing Instructions consequent on
this paralysis of business. The writer
| escing after a severe illness. had to
| equip himself and set out. No excuse
is accepted. He goes on:
"One of our packers wished to take
a train two hours later than the others.
He was told that he would be severely
punished If he did So"
An important fact is contained in the
casual mention that all these troops are
being sent. not to the lower Danube but
to the Galician frontier-the border of
| Russia.
The tremendous force being called
out may partly be measured by the
fact that the Landstrum. and even old
err veterans. are being summoned. Even
at the time of the Franco-German war
the Landstrum was not called on. 1t
is the arm reserved for the very last
resort. There has been no call on the
Landstrum. either in Austria or Prus-
| STA, since the war of 1866.
