war risk insurance bureau, designed to
inspire confidence in American ship
pers and aid American trade expan-
sion, is open for business at the Treas
ury Department
President Wilson signed the act Gre
atinS the bureau, and Secretary Nc
Adoo announced the appointment of
w. c. Delaney of New York, an under
writer insurance expert, as director of
the bureau
Delaney opened an office ready to
insure American ships and American
cargoes in American ships. His
bureau will be under Assistant Secre-
tary Peters
Administration plans as to the mer-
chant marine also took definite form
in other directions. At a conference
between the President, Secretary Dan
iels and members of the naval affairs
and merchant marine committees of
the House, differences between the
two committees were smoothed out,
and it was decided to press one meas
ure for the obtaining of a government
owned fleet of ships
Chairman Alexander of the mer-
chant marine committee reported fav-
orably to the House the bill providing
for the organization of a 100000
company. controlled by the govern
ment, which will buy or build freight
carrying vessels.
A $30000,000 issue of Panama canal
bonds would be used to buy the ships,
the government accepting bonds of the
company as reimbursement.
1t was decided at the conference to
amend this bill to allow the ships
built CT purchased by the company to
be utilized by the navy, if necessary.
President Wilson made it clear at
the conference that he believed no vio-
lation of neutrality was to be feared
In the purchase, even of some of the
German steamers now marooned in
American ports.
An executive order suspending Ger.
tain sections of the navigation laws,
as authorized under the registry bill,
will be iscued.
This and the signing of the war
risk bill remove objections of various
big shipping companies to placing
their fleets under the American flag,
and such concerns as the United Fruit
Company, the Standard Oil Company
the United States Steel corporation
and the Dollar Steamship Company
are expected to make immediate appli-
| cations. These companies alone
would add 200 steamers to the Ameri-
| can merchant marine.

London, Sept. 2.-The hordes OF Rus
sia, sweeping to the invasion of Aus
tria-Hungary, have crushed the Aus
trian army in Galicia. The defeat is
colossal. Dispatches tell of 10000
dead upon the field, of entire regi-
ments completely destroyed and of
trains which transported wounded by
tens of thousands toward Vienna.
Thirty thousand Austrian prisoners
are in the Russians hands The army
was under the personal command OF
the Grand Duke Frederick and con-
sists of the flower of the empires
forces. Through its disorganized rem
nants, thousands of Cossacks ride,
spreading death farther in the Aus
trian ranks and turning the retreat
into rout.
The fate of the empire hangs in the
balance. In Vienna terror reigns as

vance and town after town is invaded

to have been taken, including two
commanding generals, 800 officers and
the complete artillery of the Russian
army. Three Russian army corps, it
is claimed, We're annihilated.
The losses of the Germans, however,
are admittedly terrific. The Twelfth
German casualty list in east Prussia
gives the losses of the Forty-third in
fantry from Konigsberg alone as about
500 men--or about onethird of its to-
tai fighting strength.
In east Prussia a sweeping victory
is claimed by the Germans, whose
forces have been concentrated against
the Russians at Allenste.h.
A Rome dispatch to the Temps says
the Russian victory over the Austriaus
on the Galician side was brilliant, the
right wing of the Austrian army hay
ing been decisively turned and cut to
pieces, leaving 10000 prisoners in the
hands of the victors.

A German monoplane again swooped
down on the city like a bird of prey
last evening, and, while thousands
watched it with the fascination of
fear, dropped three more bombs into
the city.
One bomb fell in Rue de Hanovre,
near Avenue de la L'Opera, without
doing damage.
The fate of Paris hangs in the bal
ance though unofficial reports from
the north are that the Germans have
been checked there by their terrific
losses and have asked for an armistice
to bury their dead.
