A Suspicious Alarm.

VINO can identify the person who di-
rected the Salem fire department to
the corner of Eighteenth and Ferry
streets! This is a question which is
puzzling both the members of the de-
partment and Chairman Constable Of
the fire committee, and today the 20.
lice are searching for that person.
There is evidently something wrong
about the whole occurrence last night.
Will Ivan, the captain of the central
station, the telephone operator and an.
other lady who chanced to be on the
line at the time the false alarm was
turned in, distinctly heard the voice
Of the person giving the call say: eco

Ivan had the man, who was foreigner
of some kind, repeat the words three
times. The department, the two autos,
went to the corner of Eighteenth and
Ferry streets at the rate of 60 miles
an hour. Upon arriving at the loca.
tion the fremen suddenly observed the

THREE THEATERS OF WAR
One East, One in West and One ir
sthe South.

London.--Whether the great war
now devastating all Europe is des.
tined to last for years, as Napoleon
predicted, or only for a matter of
month, the military operations on land
between England, France, Belgium
Russia, Servia and Montenegro on one
side, and Germany and Austria-H Hun.
gary on the other, will take place in
three "theaters of war;" viz: the
western "theater" where England,
France and Belgium have met the
hordes of Germany; the eastern thea.
ter" where Russia, Austria and Ger.
many have already met in skirmishes,
and the southern 'theater," where up
to now only the Servians and Aus.
TRANS have been engaged, but where
Russia will certainly take a hand.
All of these war "theaters," which
is how they are designated in mill,
tary parlancs, are hemmed in on all
sides by oordons of Notifications.
France, Germany and Russia have,
since the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
for the most part, buik strings of forts
all along their frontiers. 1t was the
Belgian forts at Liege that gave such
a shock to the GermaBs and caused 3
check to the Kaisers troops.

SAFE ON FOREIGN SHIPS
German Government Makes Promise
to Respect Neutrality.

ngton.-Germany has informed
the United States through Ambassa.
dor Gerard that she will respect the
neutrality of foreign ships which will
convey American refugees from Ger.
many. The German government went
a. step further by suggesting that this
government send one of the Hamburg.
American liners from New York under
the American flag and American off.
GERS to pick up refugees at German
ports.
Secretary Garrison accepted the of,
fer and asked that additional Ham.
burg-American liners be sent for
American refugees. While formal re,
plies have not been received it is un.
derstood no objection will be made by
England and France to this plan. Sec.
rotary Bryan said after receiving sew.
eral cables from Ambassador Page at
London: THE transportation between
this country and Great Britain is now
such that every American may 60
home on the ordinary liners in few
weeks. The problem is therefore
solved" Secretary Bryan's statement
is understood to mean that not all
Americans will have to wait few
weeks, but that many will be able to
leave almost Immediately, and that
within a few weeks all will be able to
get home.
Mr.. Garrison expressed belief that
there would be no difficulty in bring.
ing all Americans in Germany home
with dispatch. He thinks his request
to other countries that refugee ships
be regarded as neutral will promptly
be granted. While the Berlin govern.
ment has suggested that any German
ship employed sail around the north
coast of Scotland for German ports ii
appeared probable that an attempt
would be made to agree on Mediter,
rean route that would take the ships
to French and Italian ports where the
refugees might gather By that means,

DESIRABLE ARE COLONIES
Threatened BY Japan in Ultimatun
Sent Germany.

New York.-Germany's colonies and
dependencies in China and the Pacific,
threatened by Japan's ultimatum, con-
sist of Kiau Chau, a protectorate in
Northeastern China, on the Yellow
Sea; and in the Pacific, German, New
Guinea, composed of Kaiser Wilhelm's
Land, the Bismarck Archipelago, the
Caroline Islands, the Palau Islands,
the Marianne Islands, the Marshall
Islands and the Samoan Islands of Sa.
vail and G9olu.
These Pacific Islands have an esti-
mated area of 96,160 square miles and
a population of $4,000. Kiau Chau
has an estimated area of 200 square
miles. This is exclusive of the bay
with an area of about 200 square miles
and the neutral zone of about $500
square miles, having a population OF
100000 The estimated population OF
Kiau Chau is 16S,900, of which the

RUSSlA'S PROMISE
Of Autonomy To Poland Regarded
FavorabIy BY Madame curre.

Paris.-Mme. Pierre gurie, French
scientist, who is born Pole and
whose maiden name was Sklodoyska,
interviewed by the Temps in connec-
ton with Russian proclamation prom
Using autonomy to Poland, says:
This seems to me to be the first i'm
portant step toward the unity of Pc
land and reconciliation with Russia.
This is necessary for the development
of Polish national culture. Russia, as
the protector of the Slav people, Is
undertaking war to defend Servia
and can not give less to united Poland
than Austrian Poland now receives. In
our time, when national feeling is so
intense, it is certain that lasting peace
between the Polish people, numbering
25,000,000, and Russia can only come
upon basis of respect for nationality
Germany has done more to destroy
Polish national sentiment than she has
done in similar way in Alsase-L or-
raine.

SHARE OF BURDEN
IMPOSED BY WAR
IN OLD COUNTRY MUST BE BORN
EY BUSINESS-PRiCES
HAVE ADVANCED.
CONDITIONS ARE UNSETTLED
Continued Suspension of Exports and
Inability to Sell on Exchange Was
Great Drawback in America.

New York-Trade conditions during
the past week were again very much
unsettled by the war in Europe, and
While attempts were being made to
adjust conditions to circumstances,
operators in almost every line were
being forced to comNt with such unu-
sual conditions that they were Devil.
dered and unable to foretell probable
Developments. The continued suspen-
sion of exports and the inability to
sell exchange on London was great
drawback to the export trade. Export
leaders, however, are extremely conf
dent that material improvement in the
shipping conditions will be realized
with the week. Railroad traffic author
ties also express confidence that some
real relief is in sight, which may af-
ford the basis for the withdrawal by
the trunk line railroads of their in.
structions to agents at interior points
to accept freight consigned for foreign
ports only ON domestic bills of lading.
If such Improvement takes place the
railroads will undoubtedly resume
their acceptance of shipments for ex.
rort on through bills of lading, thus
lifting, in a practical sense, the vir-
tual embargo which has been enforced
by the carriersafo for the past ten days
against merchandise destined for for
eign ports.
Buying of steel products has un-
doubtedly decreased since the war
started. Some projects have been
definitely held up, while in other cases
buyers are moving more slowly on &C
count of financial uncertainties. Apart
from direct exports of iron and steel,
which have been running about 1,000,-
900 tons year to destinations other
than Canada, there is large export
trade in manufactures also shut off,
such manufactures having hitherto in
volved between 100000 and 100000
tons annually. Thus the immediate
effect of the war would be to slow
down the steel industry, but, fortu-
nately, the mills entered the month
with specifications sufficient to run
them about 80 days, and, with some
specifications still coming in, they
should be able to run for, a considera-
bly, longer period than that at about
two-thirds capacity.

TRANSPORTATION OF FOOD
To Germany BY American Marine
Promises To Excite the British.

London.-Reports indicating the i'm
pending American acquisition of q
great German merchant feet has
caused uneasiness here and unques
tionably there lies therein the posi-
bility of arousing irritation in this
country and probably amongst all the
allies. If there suddenly comes into
being a great fleet of American boats
the German food question is largely
solved, for all ships carrying the Amer
lean flag would have the liberty of the
high seas and could possibly enter the
North sea and German ports and Ger
tainly in the present aspect of affairs
ply to the Adriatic with complete free
dom.
In the event of a German sea vic
tory there American ships would be
the most valuable to England where
the food question would be much more
serious than anything Germany con
templates, but just now England gives
no consideration to such a possibility
as losing the control of the sea.
If precipitated American legislation
makes the purchase of German ships
in New York possible and the deal
then goes through, there is bound to
be criticism here, probably starting
with the charges that the Yankees can
not resist the appeal to the dollar and
maybe that the transfer is merely a
German subterfuge.
