Fleet Ordered to Capture kiau-
Chau When No Reply
Is Made
FIRST GREAT BATTLE OF
WAR is STARTED SATURDAY
Flower of the kaiser's Army in Death

Along a Battle Line One Hun
dred Miles Long.

Tokio-Japan declared and begun
war on Germany Sunday with an order
to the Japanese army and navy to
capture Kiauchau, Germany's Chinese
holding, Immediately.
Official news OF tho situation of the
Japanese fleet and transports is lack
ing, but because of the preparations
which have been in progress since
Japan sent her ultimatum to the Kai-
ser's government last Sunday, it is
believed that everything was ready
for the attack on Kiauchau when the
time limit of the ultimatum expired
Saturday night and that the attack
already has been begun.
The Japanese expeditionary forces
sent to Kiauchau are under the COM
mand of Vice-Admiral Kamimura. In
official circles it is estimated that il
will take three months to reduce
Tsingchau, which is we'll garrisoned
and provisioned for a siege.
The area of hostilities extends over
China eastward of the Yellow river.

Germans under surveillance. Already
they are ejecting Germans from Muk-
den, Chang Chun and DaIny. Doubt
less similar action will be taken at
Tien-Tsin.
The proclamation of the emperor
sent a thrill through the country. ia
pans entrance on the fulfllment of
her obligations to her ally, Great Brit
ain, responds to the popular will from
one end of the land to the other.
Cheering crowds assembled before
the buildings occupied by the depart
ment of foreign affairs and the admin
istration of the navy. Sunday evening
there were lantern professions
through the streets. The popular man
ifestations, however, do not approach
the enthusiasm which preceded the
war with Russia.
Count Won Rex, the German ambas-
sador, has been handed his passports.
He probably will leave for America,
either on the Minnesota, sailing Au-
gust o. or the Manchuria, which will
depart August 20. George w. Guthrie,
the American ambassador, will repre-
sent Germany. The diet has been
convoked in special session for Sep
TENDER 3.
The Austrian crusier Kaiserin Eliza
beth, which latterly was at Tsinchau,
the seaport to have sailed. She per-
haps will go to a neutral port and dis
arm. 1t is believed this action will
keep Austria out OF the war in the
Orient, although unforeseen circum-
stances may force Japan to change
this police.
No action has been taken relative
to Austria, and the foreign Office has
explained that Japan will remain
friendly unless Austria should adopt
an attitude which it would regard as
offensive.

Greatest struggle in History.

London-There was started in Bel
GUM on Saturday the first great bat
tie of the war that has plunged the
great powers of Europe into conflict
Along 100 miles of fighting line at
least 100000 men are linked in a
death grapple.
Since Saturday, the struggle has
been waged-from Mons, on the south
ern edge of Belgium, to the Luxem-
burg frontier The English expedi-
tionary force has at last emerged into
the open and is fighting at the side of
the French. One million Germans,
flower of the kaisers army, are face
to face with the allied troops and with
cavalry charge and cannonade and
handto-dand encounter of the infan-
try, the destines of Europe are tremb-
ling in the balance.
No details of how the issue of the
strife goes are permitted to emerge
from behind the curtain that envelopes
the scene. 1t will be days and may
be weeks before a decisive result has
been attained and the world is per-
mitted to know.
And imagination balks at any at
tempt to picture what is going for
ward there on the plains of Belgium.
A battle it has been said to be. yet
the event which is in progress is a
titanic engagement in which half a
dozen battles are simultaneously be-
ing fought, any one Of which dwarfs

The Ostracism.

The ostracism was way the Greeks had of getting rid of "un- desirable citizens of note. The people wrote the names of those they most suspected upon small shells. These were put in an urn or a box and presented to the sen ate. Upon scrutiny of them he whose name was oftenest found was sentenced by the senate to banish- ment. Six thousand votes were re- quired to make the ostracism law ful. Sometimes the system worked to the detriment of the state. as now and then a good man was ban ished by the spite of his enemies, but generally the ostracism Was good thing and saved the state much trouble and danger. - New York American.

Love.

Love is a great healer. The worst characteristic trait of man and of d woman has been known to be cured by it. It is Cupid who in troduces you to Hymen. and a pity it is. How much better it would be if it were Rvmen who introduced you to Cupid and invited the little fellow to remain your guest! In the tender relations between men and women novelty is a wonderful attraction and habit a powerful bond, but between the two there is a bottomless precipice into which love often falls. never to be heard of afterward. Happy those who know how to bridge over the chasm! Max O'Rell.

The climate of the Rhine valley is warmer than in most other parts of Germany, and is consequently more fa- vorable than other regions for the cul- tivation of tobacco, grapes and corn. The humidity of the' valley is exces- sive, sunshine is quite limited, and the annual precipitation ranges from 24 to 32 inches.

NAUTICAL KNOTS AND MILES.
A Distinction About Which Landsmen
 Are Apt to Get Confused.

N'S HPA " OSA SOHidSSOs
 A nautical knot and a nautical
 mile are two different things, al- though they are frequently con- founded by landsmen.
 The length of nautical knot is
 fifty feet and eight inches, while that )f a nautical mile varies from the extreme length of 6,107 feet and 10 inches to the shortest, 6,046 feet. This variation in the length of a nautical mile is due to the fact that 1t must conform to a line meas uring one minute of arc of the sarth's surface at sea level, and as the earth is not a perfect circle the radii differ, and so must the arc.
 To avoid confusion, however, the length of d standard nautical mile has been fixed by the United States coast and geodetic survey at 6,O8O feet and 3A inches, that being the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of true sphere, whose surface area is equal to that of the earth.
 The method of determining the distance sailed by a ship at sea in the early days of navigation was by means of a process called "heaving d log. The three cornered board with lead attached, so as to float on it's edge that it might not be drag ged through the water, was attach ed to long line, and 100 feet from the log or three cornered board knot was made in the line. and when the log was thrown into the water as the vessel sailed away from it the line was drawn out of the vessel by the log, which remained stationary in the water.
 AS soon as the knot passed out over the rail or stern of the vessel d half minute sandglass was turned to show the time and the sand care fully watched until the last grain had dropped into the lower bulb, and the log line was then instantly stopped at the rail. The distance was measured on the line as it was hauled in from where il stopped at the rail to the knot before mention ed. As half minute glass denoted the one hundred and twentieth part of an hour, so the log line was one hundred and twentieth part of the distance d vessel would sail in an hour.
 In order to make the computa- tion more easy knots were placed on the log line every one hundred and twentieth part of a mile of 6,OSO feet, which placed the knots fifty feet eight inches apart, and the number of these knots which the vessel sailed in half a minute were therefore equal to the number of miles that the vessel would sail an hour if she continued at the same rate of speed.
 The knot received its name from a simple knot tied in the log line and was therefore not a mile, but merely the one hundred and twen- tieth part of one.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The play THE Senior" was

made up entirely of local talent
and they showed by the portrayal
of their respective part that they

From the time of the raising of
the curtain until it closed down
at the end there was enjoyment
of the most entertaining nature.

on themselves were the Misses

the building will be painted in the
same color when the roof is
raised and another story is placed
on it. Along with this will oe a
wide porch the entire length of

to the trocadero, with the grading
on each side of the walls, the
planting of trees and the making
of a fine grass lawn will add

The grading for this purpose is
now in progress. 1t is expected
that the new addition will be ready
for occupancy about the first OF
May. Each room IN this addition
will have a closet for clothing and
