Excel NAVAL cash

Honolulu, Sept. IA naval en-
gagement seemed certain OF here to-
day between the German cruiser
Nurnberg and the Australian battle
cruiser Australia, and another British
ship of war.
The Nurnberg, which, with the
cruiser Leipsig forms the German
warship representation in the Pacific,
arrived in this port today. She COM
pleted coaIing early today. With
decks stripped for action the NuTn-
berg's commander, Captain Schoen-
berg, prepared today to steam out
before the expiration of the 24-hour
limit.
The British war vessels are known
to be waiting just outside the three
mile limit, as they conveyed the COLI
1ier Strathadie as far as the neutral
water line, just before the Nurnberg
put 10 here. 1855. .....-~-.... ...,-.t /.

Z ais - SLdQaduy- ICSSSllllSs There
is a general disposition everywhere
in official circles to accept the posi-
bility of siege of Paris with equa-
nimity. It is declared that it cannot
be effective. ThesEeTy limits of the
fortified zone would, of itself require
far more soldiers than it is believed
Germany can spare effectively to be-
siege the city.
And, now that the supreme effort
of the Germans to crumple up and
demolish the allied armies has failed,
any siege of Paris will always be sub
jet to flank attacks that in the end
must prove disastrous.

just inside the Austrian frontier be-
tween the vast Russian army and

cisive.
Roumanian general staff officers
say it must result only in iTretrievable
defeat to one side OF. the other.
Defeat to the Russians, they be-
ieve, might even mean that the ad-
vance into PTuSSlan would have to be
halted if not completely stopped since
the AustTians, by winning, could by a
forced march completely cut the Rus
sian line Of communication to East
ern Prussia.
Defeat to Austrian arms, the Rou-
manian general staff believes, would
completely break up Austrian opposi-
ton or hope. of the kaiser for help
from Austria in Prussia.
Despite the overwhelming super
iority Of the Russians in numbers,
the general staff believes that the
Austrians will never fall back. They
say Austria ndefeat not only would
leave the way to Vienna open but
that all Galicia would join in an up
rising. -

berg has fallen. The Austrian army
which has been fighting in front of
the Galician capital, has been with
drawn. It did not enter the city, as
the general staff desired to avoid any
general bombardment and the de-
Tending force was withdrawn to the
south.
The eighth day of the great battle
which now extends from the Dneis-
ter to the Prussian frontier finds the
Austrian army outnumbered and
hard pressed. It is very plain that
Russia has abandoned every often
sive movement against the Prussians
in order to endeavor to crush the en-
tire Austrian army at one blow.
There are not less than 2,00O,0O
Russians facing the 100000 Aus
TRAN troops in this great battle. As
a result the Austrian lines have been
compelled to give way at certain
points. The most serious reverse,
however, is at Lemberg because the
abandonment of the positions there
has enabled the Russians to isolate
the Austrian forces in Russian PO-
land and they are now greatly OUT
numbered.
The casualties are appalling.

NEW BUYING MUCH REDUCED IN IRON Wire Products Active and Increase One Dollar
 Per Ton

New York, August 23.--The most en- couraging feature in the steel trade during last week was the larger specifications received against con tracts for sheets, tinpIate, bars and miscellaneous products, previously placed by domestic manufa cturers., Ad- vancing prices stimulated specification naturally against orders placed at sev- eral dollars per ton less than the cur rent market. It is notable. however that with the exception of wire prod ucts-which were active and again ad- vaneed s1 per ton by all wire drawers new buying was much reduced in volume. Financial stringency was still a prominent factor to be reckoned with in all lines.
 Railroad buying of equipment was again light and few orders for rolled or forged steel was received from man. ufacturers of railroad equipment. The building trade was depressed Fabrica iting shops obtained orders for less than 1000 tons of shapes of which the rail roads were responsible for only 100O tons.
 The announcement that British malx- CTS of ferro-man ganese will make ship ments on American contracts at an ad- vance of S10 per ton over the contract price. to cover additional charges and risks due to war was encouraging to steel companies here. Mere inquiries for billets. sheet bars. blooms, tube rounds and pig iron were received from England, Japan and South America and sales of billets were made Canada al s1 per ton under the prices made for domestic shipment.

GERMAN REPORTS ANDFRENCH VARY Germans Claim Victory. French Army Assumes
 Offensive

New York, Agust 2s--The following un- signed dispatch has been received by the Associated Press:
 'Berlin.-tNo date. e.)--(Wireless to Say vile. L. l.. August 2s.)-The third French army has been defeated. This is highly important strategically as well as because of its moral effect. The campaign seems to be the product of the much discussed French policy to anticipate an advance into Belgium by attempting to crush the center of the German positions in Lor- rans. which they were led to believe was weak.
 AS a result of the French failure it Is held probable that they will renew their defensive position German experts are confident the frontier forts, like those at Liege. will speedily succumb to the heavy artillery"
