capable of conception of what is actually
being enacted across the waters, every hour
of the day and night 1t is only when some
high light is struck that we, peaceful peo-
pie, are able to sense, in any degree, the
awfulness of this world war.
1t is silent war, SO far as details or plan
or naneuver is made public. Not jour
nalist is allowed upon the field This is
the rule laid down and rigidly enforced by
every general. Those few adventurous ones
attempting to violate this war law by even
too near inspection of the fighting zone
have been arrested and held as spies. The
only authentic news is that sent out by the
respective war offices, and these, naturally,
are coiored and more or less contradictory.
The great battle of the German invasion
of France, which began September 8, over
an irregular line 12O miles from east to
west and fifty miles from north to south
about Paris, continues, without decisive adj
vantage to either SIDE but with the Germans
and the allies both claiming gain. In the
fighting of the last few days. both sides
have lost heavily, both in casualties and
prisoners, the English casualty lists show
ing an abnormally large loss in officers.
About 100000 men are reported to be en-
gagged on both sides.
The bulletins issued from Petrograd (St.
Petersburg) are practically all the news we
receive of the fighting along the Austrian
border From these, it would seem as
though Galicia had fallen largely into Rus
sian possession. In East Prussia, the Rus
slams are attempting to reform on the east
ern frontier after their crushing defeat at
Allenstein; but this is hampered by contin-
ual attacks of the Germans. They are also
attempting bombardment of Koenigsberg.
Turkey has called notice to herself by alb
rogating the clauses in all her treaties
whereby either special privileges are given
to, or special burdens imposed on, the Sub
lime Porte.
Central Africa has had combats in the
Congo Free State and in the Cameroons,
caused by the European war
Japans attack on Kiauchau is indecisive
as yet.
On the 23rd there appeared what seems
an authentic report that Russian cruiser
has sunk a German cruiser and two torpedo
boats in the Baltic.
Various rumors of peace, which have
been given so much publicity, sifted down.
have next to nothing to sustain them.
President Wilson has become angered by
the officiousness of many individuals and
petty organizations, each with their pet (and,
usually, foolish) peace schemes, which they
insist upon laying before him, and in no
gentle terms he has informed them that they
but retard any possible peace measures. Mr..
! Wilson publicly states that from none of the
warning nations has he received the slightest
encouragement to believe that cessation of
hostilities would be seriously considered at
this time.
President Wilson's attitude of strict neu-
trality has been shown in his answer to the
official delegation from the Belgian govern
ment presenting an official document charg-
| ing the German forces with wanton out

undertake
An instance of the war reports is in this
same charge of disregard of the rules of
warfare by the German army.
The official report presented to the presi-
dent and its charges are made plainly and
unqualifed1y These, in turn, are fatty
contradicted by disinterested persons, claim
ing to be eye-Witnesses of the scenes.
Among these are four American CORES
pondents, who emphatically declare the Ger
mans have committed no atrocities in Bel
gium. They undertook to run down some
of these reports, but, they declare, that they
were unable to find the slightest proof of
anything savoring of atrocities.
HIGH LIGHTS:
It is estimated there are already one mill
ion children in Europe made fatherless by
the war. - The actual expenditures of the
war, at a conservative estimate, is $4,000,
600 day. = 1t costs, on the average, about
$3,677 to kill man in warfare = The
press is filled with pictures depicting the
horrors of war, these being drawn from the
imagination, and others from the camera;
and the latter are far more terrible in the
scenes they depict than the former. - Read

Unhappily for the girl, Everett was

found himself forced to make a hur-
ried trip to San Francisco her predica-
ment became the more pronounced.
The false Everett. George Drake, took
1t upon himself to call at the Ritz for

To her amazement she learned that he

Her news was even more startling

Ruth. Quick action was needed, and,
leaving Ruth in the car with a pre-

soon phoning to Drake, telling him to

to meet them in San Francisco, where
he was to pose as Everett and continue
