THREE THEATERS OF WAR
One East, One in West and One in
the South.

London.-Whether the great war
now devastating all Europe Is des-
tined to last for years, as Napoleon
predicted, or only for. matter of
month, the military operations on land
between England, France, Belgium,
Russia, Servia and Montenegro on one
side, and Germany and Austria Hun
gary on the other, will take place in
three "theaters of war;" viz: the
western "theater"' where England.
France and Belgium have met the
hordes of Germany; the eastern thea
ter" where Russia, Austria and Ger
many have already met in skirmishes,
and the southern "theater," where up
to now only the Servians and Aus
trians have been engaged, but where
Russia will certainly take hand.
All Of these war "theaters," which
is how they are designated in mill
tary parlance, are hemmed in on all
sides by cordons of Notifications.
France, Germany and Russia have,
since the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
for the most part, built strings of forts
all along their frontiers. 1t was the
Belgian forts at Iliege that gave such
shock to the Germans and caused a
check to the Kaiser's troops.

SAFE ON FOREIGN SHIPS
German Government Makes Promise
to Respect Neutrality.

ashington.-Germany has informed
dor Gerard that she will respect the
neutrality of foreign ships which will
convey American refugees from Ger
many. The German government went
step further by suggesting that this
government send one of the Hamburg
American liners from New York under
the American flag and American Off
GERS to pick up refugees at German
ports.
Secretary Garrison accepted the Of
fer and asked that additional Ham,
burg-American liners be sent for
American refugees. While formal re-
plies have not been received it is un-
derstood no objection will be made by
England and France to this plan. Sec
retary Bryan said after receiving sew
eral cables from Ambassador Page at
London: The transportation between
this country and Great Britain is now
such that every American may go
home on the ordinary liners in few
weeks. lie pIODlem Is therefore
solved" Secretary Bryan's statement
is understood to mean that not all
Americans will have to wait few
weeks, but that many will be able to
leave almost Immediately, and that
within few weeks all will be able to
get home.
Mr.. Garrison expressed belief that
there would be no difficulty in bring
ing all Americans in Germany home
with dispatch. He thinks his request
to other countries that refugee ships
be regarded as neutral will promptly
be granted. While the Berlin govern
ment has suggested that any German
ship employed sail around the north
coast of Scotland for German ports it
appeared probable that an attempt
would be made to agree on Mediter-
rean route that would take the ships
to French and Italian ports where the
refugees might gather. By that means,
all danger of encountering mines would
be avoided.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New York.-The Fabre Line steam
er Patria started fer France with 600
passengers, most of whom are reserv-
lists bound for France.
Only six women were among the
passengers. Many of the returning
reservists had put on French military
uniforms when the steamer left.
There were two Germans on board.
They refused to say what had led them
to take passage on the French steam
er or to tell where they were going.
The only other steamer leaving for
European port during the day was
that of the Cunarder Ansonia for Liv-
erpool.
Several freighters came into port.
| One was the French steamer Germa-
mia, from Marseilles, which was de-
| tanned under orders two days at the
Azores because of a report that three
German cruisers were lowering about
the islands.
Another was the British steamer
Condor, from the west coast of South
America, which reported being held
up off st. Thomas by cruiser which
she could not identify, but which she
believed to be French.
The Condor was allowed to proceed
upon Identifying herself.

SHARE OF BURDEN
IMPOSED BY WAR
IN OLD COUNTRY MUST BE BORN
BY eusINEss-PRIcEs
HAVE ADVANCED.
CONDITIONS ARE UNSETTLED
Continued Suspension of Exports and
Inability to Sell on Exchange Was
Great Drawback in America.

New York.-Trade conditions during
the past week were again very much
unsettled by the war in Europe, and
while attempts were being made to
adjust conditions to circumstances,
operators in almost every line were
being forced to combat with such unu-
sual conditions that they were bew IL
dered and unable to foretell probable
developments. The continued suspen.
sion of exports and the inability to
sell exchange on London was great
drawback to the export trade. Export
leaders, however, are extremely conf.
dent that material improvement in the
shipping conditions will be realized
with the week. Railroad traffic author
ties also express confidence that some
real relief is in sight, which may af'
ford the basis for the withdrawal b.
the trunk line railroads of their in
structions to agents at interior points
to accept freight consigned for foreign
ports only on domestic bills of lading
If such improvement takes place the
railroads will undoubtedly resume
their acceptance of shipments for ex
port on through bills of lading, thus
lifting, in a practical sense, the vir
tual embargo which has been enforced
by the carriers for the past ten days
against merchandise destined for for
eign ports.
Buying of steel products has un
doubtedly decreased since the wal
started. Some projects have beer
definitely held up, while in other cases
buyers are moving more slowly on &C
count of financial uncertainties. Apar,
from direct exports of iron and steel
which have been running about 1000,
900 tons a year to destinations othel
than Canada, there is large expor
trade in manufactures also shut off
such manufactures having hitherto in
volved between 100000 and 1,000,00l
tons annually. Thus the immediate
effect of the war would be to SLOW
down the steel industry, but fortu
nately, the mills entered the month
with specifications sufficient to rur
them about 80 days, and, with some
specifications still coming in, the,

bly, longer period than that at abou

army corps. when the Germans oc-
cupied the northern heights, the
French troops made grand fianking
movement, which decided the com
mander of the Bavarian army corps to
retire in the direction of Saarburg.
The engagement was a very hot one.
The morale of the French troops was
excellent. In a coup the French oc-
cupied an angle of the Donon river
and took more than 500 prisoners"
All England was stirred by the mo-
mentous dispatch from Brussels to the
effect that the French and Belgians
had begun the greatest battle in the
worlds history-the titanic struggle
which may last for weeks. The French
success at Grey, where the crack Ba-
varian corps was forced to flee like a
disorganiezd mob, aroused great en-
thusiasm here.

TRANSPORTATION OF FOOD
To Germany BY American Marine
Promises To Excite the British.

London.-Reports indicating the i'm
pending American acquisition of a
great German merchant feet has
caused uneasiness here and unques-
tionably there lies therein the possi-
bility of arousing irritation in this
country and probably amongst all the
allies. If there suddenly comes into
being a great feet of American boats
the German food question is largely
solved, for all ships carrying the Amer
ican flag would have the liberty of the
high seas and could possibly enter the
North sea and German ports and GER
tainly in the present aspect of affairs
ply to the Adriatic with complete free
dom.
In the event of German sea vic.
tory there American ships would be
the most> valuable to England where
the food question would be much more
serious than anything Germany con
templates, but just now England gives
no consideration to such a possibility
as losing the control of the sea.
If precipitated American legislation
makes the purchase of German ships
in New York possible and the deal
then goes through, there is bound tc
be criticism here, probably starting
with the charges that the Yankees car
not resist the appeal to the dollar anG
maybe that the transfer is merely q
German subterfuge.

RUSSIRS PROMISE
OF Autonomy To Poland Regarded
FavorabIy BY Madame Currie.

Paris,-Mme. Pierre Curie, French
scientist, who is born Pole and
whose maiden name was Sklodowska,
interviewed by the Temps in connec-
ton with Russian proclamation prom
Using autonomy to Poland, says:
This seems to me to be the first i'm
portant step toward the unity Of Po-
land and reconciliation with Russia.
This is necessary for the development
of Polish national" culture. Russia, as
the protector Of the Slav people, is
undertaking war to defend Servia
and can not give less to united Poland
than Austrian Poland now receives. In
our time, when REGIONAL feeling is so
intense, it is certain that lasting peace
between the Polish people, numbering
25. 900 900, and Russia can only come
upon basis of respect for nationality.
Germany has done more to destroy
Polish national sentiment than she has
done in similar way in Alsace-Lor,

SACRIFICE OF LIFE
is DEPLOR RED
THE FORMATION OF TEUToNIc
EMPIRE is SEEN AS RESULT
OF STRUGGLE.
BLAME PLACED ON RUSSIA
Germany Must Be Allowed TO Develop
Its Usefulness and Power Before
She is Shelved.

New York.-Under the heading,
THE War Situation From Day to
Day." Herman Ridder writes in the
Stats Zeitung: II have a steady con-
viction that we shall witness within
the years the formation of great Teu-
tonic empire. Germany, like other en-
pires, was founded upon military SUI
premacy and maintained by success
full commercial policy. 1t can not be
that it is to be laid away upon the
shelves of history before it has devel-
opened its full usefulness and power.
The German Empire has not done all
for civilization it was destined to do.
The German contributions to science,
commerce and literature are too real
to permit the belief that it's work Is
finished and a new order is to replace
the old. Yet the panorama of changes
may unfold with such startling sud
denness that the dream of Liberalist
and Socialist may soon be realized.
War breeds socialism. At night
the opposing hosts rests on their arms
searching the heavens for the riddle
of life and death and wondering what
their tomorrow will bring forth
Around a thousand camp fires the
steady conviction is being driven home
that this sacrifice of life might all be
avoided. 1t seems difficult to realize
that millions of men, skilled by years
of constant application, have left the
factory, the mill or the desk to waste
not only their time, but their very
lives and possibly the lives Of those
dependent on them to wage war, broth
er against brother"

HELLO GIRLS NARROW ESCAPE.

Philadelphia.-Two score girls en-
ployed in the Main Exchange of the
Keystone Telephone Co., Second and
SAMSON streets, narrowly escaped
death when the heavy steel and plas-
ter ceiling in the main exchange room
collapsed, burying the operators be-
meath the debris. But for the fact that
the ceiling dropped on the top of the
seven-foot high switchboard which
circles the big room, it is probable
that many of the girls would have
been fatally injured. Only 16 of the
girls needed medical attention. Three
Of these were treated in the building,
while the others were rushed to hos
pitfalls. None of them was seriously
hurt.
