COMPLAINTS MADE BY
COMPANY L OFFICERS
Company May BIO Disbanded Because
Members Cannot Get Away
for Encampment.

Whether or not Company L Will be
well represented at the annual state
encampment this year seems rather
doubtful. according to statements Of
the officers Of the company who say
that although members Of the com
pany are anxious and willing to 60,
their employers are reluctant in re-
leasing them from their duties for the
ten days Of the encampment.
Captain Richardson today said II
they did not take enough interest in the
company to support 1t by allowing the
members OF the company to attend
the encampment that it would be
necessary to disband the organization.
It is believed the company is a
valuable asset to the city. It has
made an enviable reputation during
its four years. Three years after its
organization the company stood third
in the regiment that was ranked first
in the national guards OF the country.
The company has never solicited
funds from business men here since
its organization four years ago when
5000 was raised.
One OF the final meetings Of the
company in preparation for the en-
campment Will be held at the armory
this evening.

That the United States made eau
tious Inquiries abroad through its am
bassadors before the situation reach
ed the war stage as to whether this
government could do anything to har-
monte the situation, was admitted by
high administration authorities today.
Under the Hague treaty the United
States can offer its good offices for
mediation in Europe. The cautious
inoutries' OF the past week, however.
did not amount to an actual tender OF
good Offices.
The administration today holds that
the crisis abroad is now in such a
stage that mediation would not be
feasible.

Perchance when you wers sad. dear

You'd touch me with your lips,

From nodding flower sips.
But lightly as you touched me, dear,
My inmost heart would glow,

Such ecstacy should know.
And when you smiled, ah, then, dear

I'd lie upon your breast,
Content to die for very Joy,
If by your hand caressed.

First, Naval Battle.
BERLIN, Aug. 3-The first
naval battle Of the war was
staged at Libau, Russia. The
German cruiser Ausburg
dashed toward the seaport,
one of the finest on the north
coast Of Russia, overwhelmed
an unknown Russian cruiser
on guard, and bombarded the
extensive fortifcations Of the
outer harbor.
The Ausburg reported by
wireless today that the city
was in flames.
The Russian cruiser was of
the second class and was no
match for the Ausburg, one Of
the speediest Of the German
navy.
The Smelling Of Libau Is re-
garded as an important VIC
tory. The port is 105 miles
west Of M1tau. Originally only
a second class harbor, Russia
built a great breakwater and
a long sea wall, making the
port one Of the best along her
coast. It was fortified by ex-
tensive outer works.
