FIRES BLAZING
 IN THE FORESTS
Situation in the Northwest Consider.
 ed Grave
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

lASSOClATED PRESS DISPATCH
 WASHINGTON, August 15.-With 1000 forest fire fighters battling in tEe national forests in Montana and Northern Idaho-400 on a single fire line and fifty uncontrolled fires turning-weather conditions in the northwest from the plains to the Pacific are more threatening than at any time since the great fires of 1910. Forest service officials here today acknowledged that the situation is grave.
 The one hope left of escaping wide spread losses of public and private property, they said, is the freedom from high winds which are a part of the seasonal fire risk. If moderate winds prevail, it is expected that the regular protective system and spe- cial forces of emergency help which are being thrown into the field will he able to hold the fires in check If, however, winds of high velocity be- come generally prevalent, 1t is fear ed that many small fires will be famed into fury and swept together into large one while these which are now taxing the resources of the fire fighters may pass beyond the power Of human control.
 More than 20OO national forest fires Lave been fought this season.

WESTERN PEACE BETTER BASIS

Colonel Roosevelt, Speaking of the War, Says That Future Safety of This Country Rests on Monroe Doctrine
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

HARTFORD Conn. Aug. 15-Near
 ly half of the political speech of Theodore Roosevelt delivered tonight before the progressive state conven- Ition was devoted to discussion of the great cataclysm which has en- gulfed all in the European war" If
 the Monroe doctrine had not been steadfastly maintained. he said, the
 United States in all probability would have been drawn into the present struggle.
 Africa, south of the Equator he declared. lis now being drawn into the fight, although without any in tterest in it. We would have been
 drawn in the same way if it had not been for our observance of the great principle which the Monroe doctrine contains, the principle that this continent shall not be treated las q place for territorial aggrandiZe- ment by the old world powers. Peace
 in the western hemisphere largely depends on the preservation of this doctrine. It is for this reason l feel that the arbitration treaties now pending in the senate if adopted, would be inimical to the best inter ests of the United States and of ipeace insofar as they would have iany effect whatever.
 Under the proposed treaties, if, las a result of this war Denmark or 1 Holland should part with their is lands in the West Indies to some
 old world power, or if at some fu- ture time Mexico should similarly part with Magdalena Bay to some
 old world power, we would be sol
 emnly bound to join in the creation of a commission which would in-
 vestigate all the matters at hand be-
 fore we could take any action. This
 commission would include represent atives of outside powers

The Silence Which Precedes the
 Storm

LONDON, Aug 15.-Communica- tion with the armies has virtually come to an end, while the command CTS in Belgium and along the Franco German frontier are preparing for a trial of strength which promises to develop the greatest battle of history It is known that the Germans are at tempting to swing their right wing to- wards Brussels and Antwerp, but with what success nobody outside the field of operation knows. The same applies to the attacks on the Liege forts, one of which, Pontisse is es- sential to German success as it is nearest to the bridge over the Mouse which the invaders are using to bring troops into Belgium
 Silence envelops operations in oth- CT parts of the little country which is playing such a big part in the war On the Alsatian frontier the French claim another victory in the capture of Saales Pass in the Vosges mountains. Here, the French off cial reports say, the Germans again lost heavily by their tactics of close formation, to which from all ac- counts. they are adhering

 A new factor entered into the situ- ation when word came from Kansas City that there was no beet sugar on tEe market, although the California Tefineries were to have started man ufacturing beet sugar on August 1.

STATE DEPARTMENT
 BROWNS UPON LOAN
Morgan & Co. Will Not Attempt to
 Float One in This Country
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATcH1

WASHINGTON. August 15-The United States government has an- nounced itself as opposed to the floating of loans in this country for the benefit of any of the belligerent powers of Europe.
 Switzerland. a neutral country, in- quired through her charge d'affaires if she might float a loan in the United States and was informed that the restriction would not apply to neutral countries.
 J. P. Morgan and Company were approached by a group of private bankers who wished to know if a loan ever should be desired by the French government, whether it could be floated in the United States. The Morgan firm announced that, re- gardless of it's legal right to engage in private commercial transactions at it's own risk, it would take no ac- tion of which the state department might disapprove.

United States Has Notified Belligerents That It Will Regard as Neutral Yes sels Used for "Philan- thropic" Purposes
VIEW IS BASED
 ON HAGUE TREATY
It is Thought That This Opinion Will Be Con cured in by All the Powers Now Engaged in War
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcHl

WASHINGTON, August 15.-The United States government has noti- fled the powers of Europe that it will regard as neutral, ships charter ed for the sole purpose of repatriat . ing citizens who are now stranded in Europe" It has asked the belli = gerent governments for a declara tiOn on the subject.
 The government took this position after several days of careful study of the situation, it is believed, after indications from some of the belli- gerent powers that ships bearing Americans would not be molested.
 The dispatches from Berlin during the day said the German government would endeaVor to neutraliZe any vessel bearing refugee Americans It is known that the Austrian govern ment has been seeking definite as surance that other powers would re- gard as neutral. German owned ships now in Austrian ports ready to take Americans home No objection is anticipated from England or France and the success of the project is looked upon by the state department officials as assured.
 Article four of the second Hague convention to which European pow CTS are signatories says: Vessels charged with religious, scientific or philanthropic missions are exempt from capture"
 This clearly includes foreign refu- gees in the opinion of the American government. With the neutraliza- ton of ships owned by belligerents with facilities previously provided fo~ the relief of Americans, the problem of bringing Americans home from War-torn Europe is believed to have been solved. There will be not only sufficient ships for the purpose. but a regular passenger service from the belligerent countries to neutral territory for the handling of all foreign refugees may result from the action of the American government. The most immediate need of ships is in the German ports. Americans who are detained in Germany because of
  period mobilization can now leave
 The following announcement was made in this connection by Secretary Bryan tonight: "The department of state has received cable advice from the American ambassador at Berlin to the effect that the German gov ernment is permitting American cit iZens to leave the empire as fast as train service is restored. and if that government blockades any port, the Americans will be allowed to leave"
 The charter of additional vessels and other measures fo, the relief of Americans abroad was discussed at a conference of the federal relief board at the treasury department to- day. Secretary McAdoo announced that the six transports chartered by the board to bring Americans home would be made ready without delay.

French War Office Issues Statement Intended to Explain Absence of News from Front for Some Time to Come
WORLD HASN'T SEEN
 SUCH A STRUGGLE
Battle Line. from Macs tricht to Basic Will Have Length of 266 Miles and Millions of Men Will Be Engaged
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcH1

PARIS, August 15-The conditions under which the great battle between the Germans and allied forces will probably be fought was made the issued by the French minister of wa- this afternoon. By its development, and the nature of the ground on which the battle will be waged, the com municatIon says, the vast engage ment will differ profoundly from the battles of other times.
 By reason of the abandonment of the attack which the Germans plan ned against Nancy" says the com munication. our concentration has been carried out with regularity. in it's entirety, and thus the whole of the French army will battle with the whole German forces with the eXcep tion of those German troops cOncen- trated on the eastern frontier of the empire. The violation of the neutral ity of Belgium has extended the Bel gian and French lines to the frontier of Holland. The next battle, there
  t.icht, with several millions of men on either side.
 Tt is this enormous extension of effectiveness and of the front, which will characterize the battle, and it will be profoundly different from all other battles. When two adVersaries engage in battle along a front from twenty to thirty kilometers (thirteen to twenty miles). the engagement is characterized by two features-it is rapid and is immediately decisive.
 With a front extending over 400 kilometers (266 miles, it is not like ly to be the same. It would appear impossible, from all the evidence, that our adversaries would be able to gain a decisive advantage upon this front of 400 kilometers Opera tions along the line would have vary ing fortunes. We will have the ad- vantage at one or several points; the Germans will have the advantage at other points, and the line of battle will continue to be modified until one succeeds by a coordination of movements and a mass of effort in gaining some point of superiority which will dislodge the adverse front and mark the end of the first battle These observations have for their ob- iect the preparation of the public for a battle in a new form, without a precedent in history"
 The communication adds that news of definite results need not be ex- pected for at least eight days or longer.
 "Blamont is seventeen miles east of Luneville; Grey is still further east; AvricOurt. occupied by a Ba- varian army corps, was stormed by our troops the announcement says, and the Germans are in full re- treat, having left many dead, wound- ed and prisoners.
