Lord Kitchener alluded to Premier
Asquith's statement in the house of
commons that the British troops had
been able to maintain their positions
in the face of fierce German attacks.
He said he had sent a telegram to
Sir John French, the commander of
the British expeditionary forces, read
ing as follows:
Congratulate the troops ON their
splendid work. We are proud of
them."
Continuing. Lord Kitchener pointed
out that the fighting in Europe would
result in greater casualties than the
campaigns Great Britain usually was
engaged in. He said he was sure that
the public was fully prepared to meet
whatever losses and sacrifices the
country might have to face. and he
paid tribute to the bravery of the
expeditionary force and the inval-
liable aid of the press ana public in
preserving silence and accepting the

TEAM
WINS FROM AMERIC CANS

New York, Aug 14.-By winning the
doubles match from Maurice McLough-
lin of San Francisco and Thomas G..
Bundy of Los Angeles at Forrest Hills
this afternoon, Norman E. Brookes and
Anthony F. Wilding, representing Aus
tralasia, stand splendid chance OF
taking the Dwight F. Davis tennis cup
away from the Americans. They need
only to win one of the singles matches
tomorrow afternoon to lift the inter
national trophy, while the Americans
must take both singles matches to re.
tain it.
The Australians outplayed the Amer
leans at every angle of the game this
afternoon and won in straight sets, 6-3,
S-6 and 81.
During the first set both Brool1es and
Wilding directed their attack at Bundy.
Mclaughlin played an invincible game,
while Bundy was weak.
In the second set tae Americans
braced up and took three straight
games. In the fourth, Mclaughlin show
ed signs of weakness and the ehalleng-
ers won. In the twelfth game of the
second set, the Americans needed but
one point to take the set, but it was
not Forthcoming. The Americans thel
changed their tactics and mixed high
lots with Mclaughlin s fast cross fire.
Bundy played brilliantly in this set,
but he and Mclaughlin sometimes in
terfered with each other.

REPORT OF SHOOTING
CANNOT BE VERIFIED
(By Henry Wood.)

Rome, Aug. 14.-Leaders of the
socialist, labor and other radical groups
here were making every effort today
to verify renewed reports that DR.. Karl
Liebknecht, the German socialist leader,
had been shot on account of his anti
military views.
Earlier reports were that 100 social
ist members of the reichstag had been
shot. They were not taken very seri-
ously here, but the story's reappearance
and publication, with the statement
that it came from reliable authority, by
so responsible a paper as the London
Citizen, a labor organ, began to cause
a great deal of comment.
If the German government thought
it necessary, in order to terrorize the
anti-militarists to risk socialist revolt
by executing so distinguished a man as
DR.. Liebknecht it must indeed, it was
pointed out, be facing a grave internal
situation.

Italy also was concentrating on the
Austrian frontier as a precaution, it
was represented, but many thought in
expectation of hostilities.
Berlin was reported in a state of
somi-revolt on account of the food
shortage.
Russia had 100000 troops ON it's
German and Austrian frontiers and
100000 more men ready for service
Servian residents of Herzegovina
were rising against the Austrians and
in behald of the Servian and Montene-
grin invaders.
Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy
and Greece prepared to call Turkey to
account for what the quintet of powers
believed was only pretended purchase
of the German cruisers Goeben and
Breslau to save them from capture.
A Danish shipmaster, arriving at
West Harlepool, Eng, reported passing
seven sunken German ships but his
story was unverified
A battle between British or French
and German cruisers was believed tc
have occurred off the China coast.
The Austrian merchant ship Baron
Gautsch was blown up by mine in the
Adriatic off Lussin and 20 out of $50
on board perished.
The Austrian war fleet was prepar-
ing for a fight with the British and
French Mediterranean squadron.

According to the war office, German
casualties at llaelen, Tirelmont, Nov.
ille-Taviers and Eghezee exceeded TO-
900, besides 5000 captured.
The German commanders, it was de-
clared,' were utterly ignoring the hu.
man equation, sacrificing their men APP
parently with absolute indifference for
the sake of slightest advantage.
In view of the Germans enormous
numbers, it was recognized that it
would be only question of time be-

crushed.

ITALY IS MASS|NG

GOVERNMENT PLACED

II She Helps aer Allies viii
Have Revelation; If She
Does Not Risks War

Chiasso, Switzerland, Aug. l4.-Italy
was continuing to-day its massing Of
troops along the, Swiss and Austrian
frontiers.
so far as Switzerland was concerned
the explanation WRs readily accented
that the concentration wereg merely
precautionary With Austria, how.
ever, it was generally believed the
Rome government thought it was likely
to have trouble.
The Italian authorities position was
considered decidedly delicate. The Ttal.
ian labor leaders we're watching, as a
cat watches mouse, every military
move the war office made and no doubt
was felt that their threatened general
strike would be declared the moment a
step was taken calculated to involve
the country in hostilities.
Takes Risk Of War.
On the other hand, there was no oues
tion that by refusing to Join its allies,
Germany and Austria Hungary, Italv
was risking declsfation against itself
by the two Teutonie nations, and it was
considered here that it was only natural
for the government to want to be pre-
pared.
z What 30 iabofcssssdefs wsald do Is
by insisting on remaining neutral. Italy
embroiled itself with it's two powerful
neighbors, was not clear The general
opinion was that they would sanction
resistance to an invasion but veto an
aggressive campaign.
Had Italy lined up with Germany and
stria-Hungary against France, Great
Britain and Russia, nobody seriously
questioned that the anti-military leaders
would have had behind them sufficient
popular sentiment to have precipitated
a widespread revOlt-perhaps revolu-
ton.
Feeling aaginst Austria has been
growing rapidly, however, aud if the
Austrians and Germans forced war OH
Italy, it did not seem so sure that the
anti-militarsts would have backing
enough from the masses to confine their
ruling classes to purely defensive
tactics.
May Encircle Austria.
What militarists have been hoping
for was an opportunity to overrun the
Austrian TyrOl and Adriatic province.
In operating along the Adriatic they
would soon be brought in touch with
the Servians and Montenegrins, com
pletely encircling Austria with a Gordon
of enemies except along its German and
Swiss frontiers.
With Austria sure to be overwhelmed
by the Russians if it turned its atten
tion to the southwark and Germany too
busy, between the Russians, French and
British to lend effective aid, the ad-
vocates of this plan expressed entire
that Italy would gain enorm-
ously, from territorial standpoint.
1t was estimated that the Italian
frontier force numbered today about
250,000 men.
Such campaign as the one outlined
would necessarily to some extent i'm
peril Switzerland s neutrality, and de-
velopments were being closely watched
by the Swiss military authorities.
