10000 GERMANS
DEAD IN TRENCHES,
IS RUSSIAN CLAIM
At Soldau Loss to Both Was
Between 60, 900 and
10000.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. Sept. 9.-The corre-
spondent of the Times at Petrograd
sends the following:
1.-THE extent of the losses during the
first six weeks of the war places all
previous casualties far in the back
ground. Not less than 10000 dead
Germans were counted in the trenches
after one engagement in Eastern
Prussia.
ION the fateful September /, when
two Russian army corps came to
death grips with four German corps
north of Soldau, the losses on both
sides totalled between 10000 and
10000, the majority being Germans.
1.-THE results of the fair at Min
Novgorod provide conclusive evil
dence of the comparatively small
effect the war has had upon internal
trade. Business was suspended for
only two or three days at the begin
ming of mobilization, but afterwards
it was normal.
There was brisk demand for goods
from Central Asia, Persia, the Cau-
casus and the Volga regions. A ma
jority of firms are ready to extend
credit to regular customers. The
State bank, too. by active discount
ing, supports the fair. Furs alone
suffered through the interruption OF
foreign trade"

ALLIES PROTEST
RED CROSS CREW
Objection to Germans on Ship
Touching at British Ports
Delays Sailing.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. '9.--With her
fires banked, the steamship Red
Cross remained at her anchorage in
the Hudson river today awaiting or
ders to start on her voyage of mercy
to the wounded soldiers, on European
battlefields, which was delayed yes
terday through the interference of
the British and French governments
Directing to any man in the crew of
go being other than an American
citizen. When the ship was taken
over by the Red Cross from the
Hamburg American line, go per cent
of her crew were Germans who, it
was declared, have taken out their
first American citizenship papers in
anticipation of the trip.
Captain ATmistead Rust, u. s. NJ,
retired, declared 1t was impossible to
get a full American crew without
long delay, and added that to do so
would necessitate his sending to the
Great Lakes, Boston and other sea-
port cities. He said also he would
keep the Americans now on board
and make UP the balance of the crew
with men from neutral countries.
This seemed agreeable to the con-
suls-general, and the captain began
to search for Spaniards.
A representative was sent to Wash
ington and Baltimore to engage NO
gro chefs and walters. Unless there
comes a further hitch it is expected
that the Red Cross will put to sea to-
morrow morning.
There isn't a chance of the shir
getting off sooner, said Miss Mabe
Boardman, chairman of the Red
Cross national relief committee.

LONDON, Sept. "a dispatch to
the Express from Rotterdam quotes
Dutchman who interviewed a Ger
man flying officer who did reconnoi-
tering in northern France after the
battle of Mons.
The German f1ier, it appears. was
chased by an English aeroplane and
tried to prevent the Britisher from
climbing higher, but as the British
machine was cleverly handled, he was
unable to do so. Evidently each
feared the other would drop bombs
The German said to his mechanic,
as the Englishman gained the posi-
ton overhead, Our last hour is
come" and his mechanic said in re-
ply. "Our last half hour"
The Englishman had no bombs or
otherwise he could not have missed.
The Germans emptied revolvers at the
Britisher, who replied, but no one was
hit
The German then flew in the direc-
ton of his own lines, chased by the
British machine, and a French mono
plane, which meantime had appeared,

DECLARES PANIC
RULES IN AUSTRIA
London Correspondent Says
Armies of Dual Monarchy Are
in Open Mutiny.
by the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The correspond
ent of the Daily Maih in Milan, who
has lately been in Vienna, draws
gloomy picture of that empire. He
says:
Panic rules in Austria. The great
unwieldy and bankrupt empire,
dragged reluctantly at the heels of
Germany, is in state of desperate
muddle and fear. Her armies, half
hearted at first and now openly mu-
tinous, are beaten back at every
point by the Russians.
"The policy of mixing in each COM
pany men of the different races which
compose the empire, has had the re-
suit that there is no esprit de corps
in the army. The men were driven
net and scores were shot by their Of
ficers to terrorize their fellows into
obedience.
while the Russian avalanche
drives on Bosnia is in open revolt and
Trieste paralyzed by fear of an at
tack from sea. Austria is bankrupt,
trade at a standstill and thousands
Of business men are ruined by a war
which they hate.
while the harvest remains un-
gathered Vienna is menaced by a
famine and prices are steadily rising.
In resentment the popular anger has
turned against the foreigner and
Serbs have been torn to pieces in
the streets. Two Russian newspaper
correspondents were shot by the
police and five foreign journalists are
in prison.
'In utter fear the government has
begun to fortify Vienna and arrange
ments have been made to flood large
tracts of low lying land around the
city. Riots have occurred In many
towns, and to the terrors of the Co.'S
sack and the Serb will be added those
of revolution and famine"

TELLS OF CRUISER
MA|NZ'S DOOM IN
NORTH SEA FIGHT
British Tar Says Lyddites Sank
Three German Ships With
in Hour.

LONDON. Sept. 9.-How the Ger
man cruiser Mainz met her doom is
told in a letter received from a men,
Der of the crew of the British light
cruiser Southampton. The letter
says:
I'm the morning we had a brush
with two German destroyers off Hell
goland and we hit them twice before
they disappeared in the mist. We
turned back and were on our way at
a good pace when we were recalled by
wireless from another British ship
saying she was in difficulty with
German cruiser.
I'VE Immediately turned about and
made at full speed for the scene OF
operations. We found that the enemy
was a three-funneled cruiser, some
what larger than our ship. We opened
fire at $4,000 yards and the enemy re-
piled. Things began to look lively, as
we were putting shells into her at the
rate of thirty q minute, each shell be-
ing a six-inch lyddite, whose fumes
killed everyone within sixty yards and
set fire to everything nearby.
"Soon the Mainz was afire, and the
next shell we sent went through two
of her tunnels and the mainmast.
What a sight she was. The fire
amidships made her tunnels red hot,
while flames and smoke poured out
from all parts of the vessel. Her port
side was like a sieve, every gun was
smashed, the whole upper deck in
chaos and the bridge a mass of tan
gled iron.
1--WE passed within 200 yards, and
only three living human beings were
visible on the decks of the German
cruiser. Many had jumped overheard,
and most of these we rescued, but
the total list of saved was only
eighty-six out of a crew of 500.
after this heavy firing was heard
ahead, and we shot forward again,
soon coming up with another German
cruiser similar to the previous one.
We repeated the previous action. but
this second cruiser sank so quickly
we could save none of the crew,
Before this was over third ship
came up and gave us broadside, to
which we replied enthusiastically, |
leaving her soon afterward in a sink |
ing condition.
'This made three ships done for in
less than an hour Of actual action. !
We decided we had done a good days |
work, so we shot away for home and |
safety. There is not shell mark |
anywhere on our boat"

QUAKER CITY PUPILS

BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.-To in
sure the neutrality of the school
rooms of this city in the European
war, William @. Jacobs, acting super
intendent of schools, today placed
ban on all discussion of war topics
by teachers or pupils during the
school hours.
History and geography Of Euro
pean nations involved in the conflict
are to be passed over and the hum
dreds of teachers returning from vaca-
tiOns abroad will not be permitted to
relate their experiences to the chill
dren.
ut was decided" said the acting
superintendent, that if the war were
discussed in the cIassrooms, there
would be danger of extending the
conflict to every corner of the school
yards between the partisans of the
allies and those of Germany and
Austria. 1t would also be useless TO
fill the chiIdren's minds with names
Of countries which soon may not be
on the maps"
