day declared war upon Germany,
handed the German Ambassador his
passports and notified the powers of
| the action.
This action was taken at the expira-
ton of the time limit Of Japan's ulti-
matum to Germany demanding the
surrender of Kiauchau, Germany hav-
ing disdained to make a reply
The Japanese Government has or
dered the beginning of operations on
land and sea.
Imperial Rescript Issued.
The Imperial rescript declaring war
upon Germany was issued Sunday
evening.
The proclamation of the Emperor
sent a thrill through the country.
Japan's entrance upon the fulfllment
of her obligations to her ally, Great
Britain, responds to the popular will
from one end of the land to the other.
Cheering crowds assembled before the
buildings occupied by the Department
of Foreign Affairs and the administra-
ton of navy. In the evening there
were lantern professions through the
streets The popular manifestations,
however, do not approach the enthu-
siasm which preceded the war with
Russia.
U. S. To Represent Germany.
Count Won Rex, the German Ambas-
sador, will probably leave for America
either on the Minnesota, sailing Au-
gust 81, or the Manchuria, which de-
parts on the goth. George w. Guthrie,
the American Ambassador, will repre-
sent Germany.
The Diet has been convoked in
special session for September 8.
The Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Eliza
beth, which latterly was at Tsingtau,
the seaport of Kiauchau, is reported to
have sailed. She perhaps will go to a
neutral port and disarm. 1t is believed
this action will keep Austria out of
the war in the Orient, although I'M
foreseen circumstances may force
Japan to change this policy. No action
has been taken relative to Austria,
and the Forengn Office has explained
that Japan will remain friendly unless
Austria adopts an attitude which it re-
CARDS as offensive.
1t is reported here that Germany
has been trying to transfer the Ger
man Railroad in Shantung, China to
America Toxic believes, however,
that the United States, pursuing the
policy of neutrality outlined by Presi-
dent Wilson, will not except Presi-
dent Wilson's announcement of neu-
trality has greatly pleased the Japa-
neSe.

BRIEFLY TOLD.

The allied armies of France,
England and Belgium have been
driven back by the German forces

ing pushed
Poland is reported to have set
up an independent government at
Warsaw, with the acquiescence of
Russia, whose troops have been

Paris.-The French War Office Is
sued the following announcement:
THE French and English, the plan
of attack having failed owing to I'M
foreseen difficulties, have retired on
their covering positions.
West of the Mouse the English
Army on our left was attacked by the
Germans, but behaved admirably,
holding its ground with traditional
steadfastness.
1.-THE French assumed the offensive
with two army corps. An African
brigade in the front line, carried away
by its eagerness, was received by a
murderous fire. The men did not give
an inch, but, counter-attacked by the
Prussian guard, they were obliged to
retire, only, however, after inficting
enormous losses. The Prussian guard
especially suffered heavily.
Repused East Of Meuse.
East of the Mouse our troops ad-
vanced across an EXTREMITY difficult
country and made vigorous attack
when they emerged from the woods,
but were obliged to fall back after a
stiff fight south of the River Semois
ION order of General Joffre our
troops and the British troops with
drew to the covering positions. Our
troops are intact; our cavalry has in
no way suffered and our artillery has
affirmed its superiority. Our officers
and soldiers are in the best of condi
ton, morally and physically.
"As result of the orders which
have been issued the aspect of the
struggle will change for a few days
The French Army will remain for a
time on the defensive. but at the right
moment, to be decided upon by the
commander-in-chief, it will resume a
vigorous offensive.
Losses Admitted To Be Heavy.
Our losses are heavy; it would be
premature to enumerate them. II
would be equally so to enumerate
those of the Germans, who suffered sc
heavily that they were obliged to aban
don their counter-attacks and estab
lish themselves in fresh positions in
Lorraine.
I'VE delivered four attacks Sunday
from our positions north of Nancy, in
nicting very heavy loss on the enemy
'In regard to the general situation
we have the full use of railroads ant
retain command Of the seas. Oul
operations have enabled the Russians
to come into action and penetrate the
heart of East Prussia.
ut is to be regretted that the of
fensive operations planned failed t.
achieve their purpose as result o
difficulties impossible to foresee. /
would have shortened the war, blu
our defenses remain intact in the pres
enec Of an already weakened enemy.
Also Fell Back In ReichsIand.
Every Frenchman will deplore tn,
temporary abandonment of portions
of Alsace and Lorraine which we hat
occupied. and certain parts of the ma
tional territory will suffer from event
of which they win be the theatre.

GERMANS SHOT OWN MENY

Rome, via Paris.-The Tribuna pub
fishes a telegram from correspondent
at the front who says that the German
retreat from Muelhausen, under the
Internal fire of the French artillery,
became a tragedy. 1t was impossible
for the Germans to see whence this
fire came.
The Istein forts on the Rhine, the
correspondent continues, seeing a
body of German troops approaching
in the night, mistook them for French
and commenced firing on them. The
mistake was not discovered until
dawn. The German cannon had thun-
dered all night long, making havoc
among their own men.

AUSTRIANS ARE RUNNING A
TERRIBLE RISK SAYS CRITIC

London. Aug 31.-Commenting on
the temerity of the Austrians in cross
ing the VistuIa, apparently with the
intention of joining hands with the
army engag ed in the province of Lub-
lin. the St. Petersburg correspondent
Of the Times says:
BY placing the Vistula between
themselves and their base at Cracow
tho Austrians are running a terrible
risk. We must conclude that their air
is urgently needed in Lublin where,
according to the headquarters staff
desperate fighting ras been in progress
for nearly a week.
Col. Shumsky, military critic of the
BOurse Gazette, commenting on these
operations, concludes that instead Of
their attending their design Of out
fanking the road of the Russian ad-
vance upon Berlin, the Austrians
themselves are compelled TO retire to
defend Galicia''

England Objects
to Purchasin6
ofGerman Ships
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington. August 31.-Great Britain
has joined with France in Directing TO
the purchase by the United States of any
German liners in connection with the
plan to build up an American merchant
marine.
At first England hesitated to protest,
believing her action might be interpreted
as placing obstacles in the way of a re-
sumption of commerce to England. At
ter France had communicated her view
point to London, however, the British
foreign Office decided to urge the Amer
lean government TO buy the neutral YES
sells, to avoid complications. No formal
protest has been lodged by either France
or Great Britain, but the situation has
been outlined to the Washington govern
ment as momentous Importance to both
countries.
France takes the view that the pur-
chase of German liners now tied up in
Germany important financial assistance
ports would be tantamount to giving
England's position is that there is no
precedent in international law for the
purchase of large number Of ships dur
ing war from a beligerent nation.

state department officials, it is under

RUssIA's GREAT ARMY
CONTINUES ITS ADVANCE

London, Aug. 31.-The Posts st
Petersburg correspondent, sketching
the war situation on the Russo Ger
man frontier says:
The Russian forces still are ad-
vancing and for the past three DAYS
there has been fierce fighting around
Konigsberg. The Russian pursuit was
pressed so hotly that some of its dlv-
airy actually entered along with fugi-
uves into the outlying defences OF
koenigsburg, which they secured.
This, of course, is very far removed
from the capture of the fortress.
"On the Austrian front. obstinate
hshting continues. The Russians have
taken 5000 prisoners east of Lemberc
and 1000 near Tomacheff. while east
Of that center the Fifteenth Hunra-
ran DIVISION was surrounded and
whole regiments are surrendering.
The main objective Of the Austri-
ans appears to be Lublin. where des-
peratc fighting is in progress.

DRUG PRICES
ALSO SOARING
WAR CAUSES INCREASED PRICES
ESPECIALLY ON oARBoLIc
ACID AND COAL TAR PRODUCTS.

The European war has caused drug
prices to soar, especially Carbolic
Acid and Coal Tar products. which
have advanced all the way from 100
TO 900 per cent D'Alembartss
Pharmacy yesterday received q letter
from one OF the largest wholesale
druggists in the United states relat
ing to the advances. In part Il is
as follows:
The two most important items az
fected by the war are Carbolio Acid
and Coal Tar products and the PotasA
Salts. Practically the entire worlds
supply OF these items come from Ger
many and England. and II seems els n
there would be no possible relief in
the situation even in the resumption
Of sailings, as neither country will al
low these items to be exported. All
prices connected with either OF the
two above mentioned items have ad
vanced from 100 to 1000 per cent.
"Cftric Acid is selling in New York
at $50 per Id. as Citrate OF Lime is
almost unobtainable. We understand
that some of the Citric Acid manufac-
turers have closed their factories
Many OF the retailers in this section
are charging oOC Tor ClLTdlo MagneSla.
"Tartarfc Acid and Cream Tartar
are at a prohibitive price. The Jour
nal Of Commerce Of Saturday reports
that Tartaric Acid has sold in New
York at 9oc per ID. in bulk.
German Synthetic Remedies, such
as Aspirin, are becoming extremelh
scarce. Aspirin, while made in thl
country, is manufactured from salicy
lie Acid, all Of which is imported, an,
which is rapidly becoming unobtain
able. .
French perfumes are selling at y
premium. A few Of the manufac-
turers' agents had fairly large stocks.
but a majority OF these perfumes will
be unobtainable at the end Of so days.
You will ind that most retailers have
advanced their prices on these goods
from rs per cent to S8 l-8 per cent.
Botanic Drugs are almost unob-

the fact that they may be unobtain-
able for period OF two or three years,

DRUGGISTS WON'T
GUARANTEE CALOMEL

But they DO guarantee Dodson's
Liver Tone with money back offer.
The next time you think you need
a dose of calomeI, don't take 1t. Even
if you have taken it often before, this
might be the very dose that would
salivate you and make you sick. The
use of calomel is sometimes followed
by very dangerous after effects II
you are constipated or bilious or If
your liver has gotten lazy and mac
tive two or three doses Of Dodson's
Liver Tone, the pleasant tasting vege-
table liquid, will make you feel like

The Balkcom Drug Co. would not
recommend Dodson's Liver Tone in
place of caIomel If they were not
willing to fully guarantee it. So any
body who buys a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone of them and does not find
it a remedy that absolutely takes the
place OF calomeI may come into the
store any day and get his or her
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone has positively
no bad after effects and can do no
harm to children or to grown-ups.

Washington. August 3l.-Both Germany
and Great Britain have accepted the pro
pCsal Of the United States that the wire
less stations at Tuckerton, n. J. and
SayviIle, L. I. be permitted to send code
messages to beligerent countries, sub
ject to censorship by American naval
officers.
The subject still IS matter of discus
sion in diplomatic channels but a formal
announcement Of the governments deci-
sion now is believed to be possible in a
few days
The Tuckerton station has been closed
because = lad no license from the de-
partment OF commerce, but il is under
stood that arrangements are under way
for its renewed operation. Both the Say
Vile and Tuckerton stations will have to
satisfy the American government that
they are not directly or indirectly owned
by the German government and 1t is con-
sidered probable that Great Britain may
object to the handling Of messages at
American end OF the stations by other
belligeTent nations.
