MERELY COMMENT

can't hear heavy firing at sea" when
there is no real news to send.
And it's a poor. artist who can't
draw battle scene out of his vivid
imagination.
1t is safe to say that three-fourths
of the alleged war news being printed
daily was written in newspaper offices
in this country and never saw cable.
But still the good folks get all
worked up over sensational head
line
And the newspaper fakir laughs up
his sleeve.
Did YOU notice how the news
papers sunk 10 German battleships in
the North Sea, and kept on sinking
'em until England herself denied it?
Some of the papers carried Eng
lands denial and also good story
about the sea fight that hadn't hap
pened. -
Very little real news is getting by
the English censors, and The Day
Book is printing what gets by.
Gee Whiz, what are we going to

going up?
1t won't be so bad with imported
beer, as much of it is made in this
country.
Scotch whisky the same. They
say more Scotch whisky is drunk in
New York city alone than is made in
Scotland. H..
However, there appeared to be
plenty of water in Lake Michigan.
Hearst was crazy for war with
Mexico, but wants peace in Europe. |
Guess he doesn't own a millionaire
ranch anywhere in Europe.
Now the papers are ringing the |
changes in on heavy firing at sea-"
The latest is "the roar of big guns
was heard" etc.
Every time there is a thunder

Chicago papers got toward Germany
after that German mass meeting at
the Auditorium.
They are all hunting for news ia
vorable to Germany now.
Readers can make a newspaper be-
have if they only know how to kick

London, Aug. 7.-11:45 p. m-The
capture of German merchant craft
continues att a rate that leads En-
glish men to predict the war win
speedily result in driving German
commerce off the sea.
The German steamer Hauta, was

Consul Horn and Arcturus seized by

Since the outbreak of the war a
number of German merchant ships
lying in English harbors when war
was declared, have been seized. Ac
cording TO an English authority ON

be retained only while the war lasts.
When peace is signed they must be

Brussels, Aug. via London
2:40 a. m.--Details of the latest fight
ing at Iiege are lacking but newspa-
pers report brilliant fsats by the Bel
gian defense up to Thursday night.
According to the press the German
invaders, expecting a weak defense
were greatly surprised at the fight
made by the Belgians, who them
selves suffered severely
Though Liege is defended by forts
thirty years old, modern tactics We're

Barbed wire and mines with artil-

The following were today's official
prices a pound for some of the lead

shipling, six pence; cheese, colonial,

The shortage is greatest and the
increase in price highest in sugar
owing to the stoppage of supplies
from Russia and Germany
OF meat, thread, fish and poultry,
there are abundant supplies at pres
ent. In many shops the shortage
OF stocks is due to inability to re-
plenish supplies from wholesale
wareshouses owing to the command
ering of horses and motor vehicles
by the war offices.
Thus far the war has caused no
diminution in the normal importation
OF food stuffs. There were fifteen
ships discharging foodstuffs at Lon

ing l1,0O0 tons of wheat and flour

eermany,s Tardy Admission.

London, Aug 7.-4:05 a. m Tie
qualified admission Of a temporary
setback to German arms at Liege,
which comes from Berlin today, is IA
reminder of the strict silence gener-
ally maintained at The German cae+
ital since war was declared.
The only telegraphic outlet by way
of Berlin has been through Amster-
dam and a strict censorship permits
only brief dispatches of an official
character
The greatest Indignation is mani
Tested in the English press at the al
legged treatment by the Germans of
English corr espondents in Berlin.
The fact that the only news from
Berlin now comes through Holland
has an interesting phase. Holland
by persisting in neutrality, is eX-
citing suspicion in Belgium OF Dutch
sympathy with Germany.

London, Aug 7.-4On the reopening

in a Iarge extent stopped the buying
OF excessive food supplies by people
of means and put a stop to the up
sameward tendency of prices.
Another factor operating in the
same directions was the voluntary

her of big retail firms to the scale
