BRITISH AND JAPANESE CRUISERS
STILL SEARCHING FOR THE LEIPZIG

The report from British Columbia that
a steam schooner had sailed from Seattle
with coal for the Leipzig is exploded by
the fact that the vessel in question re-
moved her radio apparatus last month
and would therefore be unable to find
the Leipzig.
Investigation of the report that a
radio station was communicating with
the Leipzig shows that the Canadians
have no information but only a suspi-
cion.
The three cruisers of the allies are
looking into all the small harbors of
western Vancouver Island.

SEATTLE. Wash, August 29.-The
British cruisers Newcastle and Rainbow
and the Japanese cruiser Idzumo- are
still cruising along Vancouver Island
and the northern British Columbia coast
seeking the German cruiser Leipzig.
The belief is growing that the German
vessel did not come north of Cape Men
docino, Cal. where she was sighted ten
days ago. Fishing boats have reported
seeing the Leipzig, but they may have
sighted one of the other three cruisers.

The French censorship, however, seems
less severe than that in England on

Forty newspaper men who gathered at

ernoon for the first afternoon announce
ment concerning the war were informed
by Capt Duvil who was in charge of
the press bureau, that there was moth
ing to communicate concerning the
operations of the British and French
armies.
Capt. Duvil however, informed the
correspondents that the German troops
were retreating in eastern Prussia.

Act Bitterly Denounced.

The Official information bureau in
statement regarding the destruction of
the town of Louva!n by the Ger
mans and the German announcement
that the inhabitants had fired on their
troops, says:
THE assumption of the German COM
mander was, under the circumstances.
so wide of probability that it can only
be supposed that in the desire to con-
ceal the facts, the first idea which oc-
Cured to him was seized upon as an
excuse for an act without parallel in
the history of civilized peoples.
"Louvain has been utterly destroyed
by one of the emperor's commanders In
a moment Of passion to cover the blum
der Of his own men"
"In destroying the ancient town of
Louvain the German troops committed
a crime for which there can be no
atonement and humanity suffered a loss
which never can be repaired"
