BRITISH STATEMENT
OF THE SITUATION
Word Sent to Embassy Here Telling
Exact Naval and Military
Situation.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON Aug. 21.-The
British foreign office cableu the
British embassy here the exact naval
and military situation between Eng
land and Germany 1t was stated
that England to date has lost only
one light cruiser while German sub
marine and German mine layer has
been destroyed The statement says
the German fleet outside the Baltic is
confined to the harbor, that German
sea commerce is paralyzed and that
English commerce is practically nor.
NAL
The embassy statements follows:
THE following is a summary Of the
naval position: Since the declaration
of war, the fleet has been responsible
for the safety of each expeditionary
force which completed its disem.
barkation in France on August Is.
which was effected in perfect order,
and without casualty.
Work Of the navy in the Atlantic
and elsewhere in safeguarding trade
routes is best exemplifed that a
Lloyds war risk rate fell forty shil-
lings per cent for almost any voyage
Of British vessels whereas the rate to
insure freight OF corn paid by steam
ers from the United States to Brit
ish port is thirty shillings per cent.
English commerce is almost nor
NAL. German sea commerce is para
lyzed.
1.-The only casualty is the loss Of
the light cruiser Amphion, blown up
by a mine, after having sunk the Ger
man mine layer Koenigen Louise.
Zone German submarine has been
sunk in the North sea.
1.-THE military position is as fol-
lows: The German forces at present
extend from the north of the neigh
borhood of Basic through Liege to
point in Belgium to the east of Ant
werp and near the Dutch frontier.
The outstanding feature Of the opera
ton up to the present has been de-
layed as the result of the check to
contemplated offensive movement
across the Meuse by the defense of
Liege where the forts are still intact.
This has permitted the orderly mob
and concentration of the
French army and the British expedi-
tionary forces. German troops have
now crossed the Mouse both above
and below Liege and are gaining
some ground slowly westward, but
their advancing cavalry has been con-
tinually checked by the Belgians.
"In the south where the German
arms are apparently on the defensive,
the French are advancing on a long
line into Alsace and Lorraine. great
extent of which they now occupy at
ter driving back In several engage
ments the troops opposed to them"

This eclipse Is believed by some to
be another Of the signs which IN
connection with the war prophecies
OF Matthew, Mark and Luke, pressage
the end of the reign of evil and the
dawn of the millennium. Among some
OF these Bible prophecies are the fol-
lowing:
Matthew 24:29, 80.
''Immediately after the circulation
OF those days shall the sun be dark
ened and the moon shall not give
forth her light.
when We see all these things know
that 1t (the end is near, even at the
doors"
Prophecy Of Joel q 1, 10, 80, 81:
Let all the Inhabitants of the earth
tremble; for the glory of the Lord
cometh, for it is nigh at hand"
The earth shall quake; the heav-
ems shall tremble; the sun and moon
shall be dark and the stars shall
withdraw their shining.
And I viii show wonders in the
heavens, ard in the earth blood and
FIRE and pillars Of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into
darkness and the moon into blood be-
fore the great and terrible day of the

The members Of the council realize
that Keokuk is far behind other
cities of its size in the matter OF
equipment for the fire department.
Cities all over the country, from the
size of Fort Madison up, have been
purchasing motor fire apparatus and
have found them far more efficient
and in nearly every case more econ.

Matter Of Economy.

Discounting the first cost OF mo-
tor truck, it would be much more
economical than the present EQUIP
ment. If truck is purchased, It
would do away with the four horses
now used at the Sixth street station.
Feed and shoes for these two teams
now cost the city about $50 month.
The cost Of gasoline for motor
truck would not exceed 81 month.
This would mean saving Of no small
mSortance.
Motor trucks are now made chat
carry chemical engines, hose reels.
and ladders. Such a vehicle would
displace tho chemical and ladder
truck and the hose truck now used at
the Sixth street station.
In the event the council decides to
install the motor apparatus, the
chemical truck and the hose truck
now in use would be stored away for
the use of a Seventh ward engine
house that will have to be establish
ed before very long.

TALKS ON THRIFT
Sixty

Sow little, reap little. Franklin.
 The close of the year is a very appropri- ate time for the individual to do just what the business man does-take account of stock and see where he stands financially The flight of time, as marked by the ap- pi oach of another year, must bring home to the thoughtful man realization of the fact that his best earning years cannot last indefinitely. It impresses upon him the necessity of so planning his course that when the time comes for him to lay down his active work of his life, his cap ital, or Accumulated days work" may be sufficient to take up the burden of his support and enable him to spend his de- cliring years in comfort and independence
 b. C. Thompson, in a recent issue of an investment magazine, maintains that any man of moderate income, if he will only exercise proper self-denial, can at 60 possess sufficient means to live on the income without having to work.
 The writer believes that in these times of high wages and large profits, well as high cost of living, the thrifty man has such overhowing opportunity as the world never offered before. The diffi- culty, as he sees it. is that nine men in every 10 do not save money In his judg ment few men, even when earning what are considered small wages, should fail at 50 to own at least $20,0o0 The invest ment of this at per cent. which can be effected with safety, would yield $1000 a year. A man of 30. earning $3000 an- nually, ought so to regulate expenses that at 60 he will have at least $60,000
 Some of the means through which such results may be achieved consist simply
 
 saving part of ones earnings. The question to ask is whether with a given salary or wage one has the right to a eer- tain style and standard of living. If the style is not warranted by the wage it is the part of prudence and courage to cut the coat according to the cloth. What look like necessities may have to be surrendered. But such sacrifices in the years of earning obviate severer and more humiIiating sacrifices in the years when earning power has ended.
 To bring about the happy consummation
