The next was certainly that the whole

and that any a.Ien enemies captured
on neutral ships will be regarded az
prisoners of war and will as such be
detained.
The Premler's reference to the Ger

breathless interest in House unex-

number OF members absent at the war.

MoRGANTowN. Aug. First
Lieutenant Richard Wetherili of the

tailed for service at the university

Archer, who has been ordered to
rejoin his command In Texas after
the maneuvers at Caddell. The two
men are shifted at the same time.
When word was received here
that Lieutenant Archer was to be re-
turned to his regiment, an effort was
made to secure the appointment by
President Wilson Of Lieutenant
Nelly, the West Point football coach
who has had such success with West
Virginia teams in previous years.
The reply was made that Lieutenant

MANY PONDIVG
TO GALL no ARMS
Austrians and 'Hungarians
from This and Other States
viii Sail Sunday.
,s,re,.L commencement n

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. Il
DR.. Charles Winter. acting consul
general for Austro-H hungary, has an.
nounced the fact that already 5000
subjects OF the empire have come for.
ward and offered their services. and
that the list Of volunteers Is being
added to daily. It is expected that
the consulate will be informed b5
Sunday afternoon as, to the exact
number OF reservists in this country
who have received summonses from
the war office at Vienna.
Nine hundred reservists and vol
unters from all parts OF the United
States will sail Sunday afternoon on
the Martha Washington Of the Aus.
|tro-Hungarian line. OF these 200 are
registered from Wheeling, w. Va,
Columbus, o., and other points west
OF Pittsburg.
1t was announced that about sew
|enty-iive per cent of the number were
Croatians, who have been summoned
by the commander-in-chief OF the
CroatianSarmy. and that most Of the
men were reservists with military
training, and volunteers connected
with semi-military organizations and
Austrian societies. In the event that
the war is prolonged, 1t is thought
that 1t may cause serious shortage of
labor to the manufacturing and
mining companies Of the country.
West Virginia will be one Of the
states most affected, as 1t Is esti-
mated that there are fully $4,000
Austrian subjects engaged In the
mines OF Western Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Virginia, one-ifth OF
whom are subject to military duty.
Should these men be called, their
loss with the lack OF incoming labor
from European countries would be
greatly felt by the operators and
manufacturers.
