WARN GERMANS
AGAINST RUMORS
General Stall at Berlin Issues
Manifesto Promising Full
and Exact Facts.

Copenhagen, (via London) Aug. Is.
The Berliner Tageblatt of Aug. u,
which reached here today, contains a
manifesto to the German nation by
General Won Stein of the German gen
eral staff in which the public is eau
toned against believing any state
ments except those given out by the
general staff. The manifesto says,
In England and France falsehoods
are being spread broadcast. You Ger
mans have too much faith in your
government to accept rumors too cas-
lily. You Germans are also spreading
rumors of victories and defeats such
as the German occupation of Belfort
and the destruction of French regi-
ments by wholesale. Everything will
be published at the proper time. We
have given our word that nothing will
be exaggerated and nothing minimiz-
ed. Few except those experienced in
warfare can know or show with what
difficulties victories are won.'
Another Berlin psner declares that
Great Britain Is paralyzing American
diplomatic relations by preventing
American ambassadors from sending
dispatches in cipher.

FIRST SHIP GOES
THROUGH PANAMA
Canal Zone Celebrates as the
Ancon Journeys From At
lantic to Pacific.

Panama, Aug. 15.-The canal zone
canal. The festivities were entirely
local. The official celebration will be
held next spring. The war depart
ment's steamship Ancon was chosen
as the first boat to be put through.
With Colonel Goethals. President Por-
ras of the Panama republic land many
others, the AncoI is scheduled to leave
Christobal on the Atlantic at o'clock
and reach the Pacific at o'clock this
evening.
The Ancon was leased by the war de-
partment to the Panama railroad for
service in the New York-Colon trade,
cargo. Several thousand canal work
ers enjoyed the holiday.
The Ancon passed through Gatun
locks without a hitch in 20 minutes.
The total lift of these locks is So feet.
On the trip down from New York the
ship had received new coat of paint
and with the finishing touches given
last night it looked as though fresh
from the builders yard. The first thing
this morning signal flags were strung
and the flags of all nations hoisted to
mark the International aspect of the
occasion. Inside and out the ship was
gay with bunting. Even the deck hands
were rugged out in spotless new white
uniforms.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-With
the passage of the Ancon through the
great waterway, the Panama canal be-
came free and open to all vessels of
commerce or war of all nations on
terms of entire equality" Vessels of
belligerents must make an uninter-
rupted passage. 1t is now possible to
put American dreadnoughts through at
any time.

CROSS THE RIVER SAVE
Efforts Along the Danube Fail
100000 Men in Aus
trian Line of Attack.

London, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Reuter- Telegram company from Nish.
Servia, says after incessant lombard
ment along the entire frontier line of
the rivers Save and Danube the Aus
trians succeeded in entering Shabatz
on the Save 81 miles west of Belgrade
and into Losnitza.
The Austrians also renewed their
attempts to cross the Danube at Bel
brade and other points but were re-
pulsed.
4oo,ooo In Attack.
Another dispatch to Reuters from
Nish dated Aug. 13 sent by way of
Athens, give the following Servian
official account of recent fighting on
the frontier: -Four hundred thou
sand Austrians attacked the Servians
last night in fierce battle along the
whole line. The Austrians were re-
pulsed with heavy casualties toward
Taxi, on the Roumania frontier and
were also repulsed from Belgrade,
where they attempted to cross the
Danube, but through numerical super
iority they succeeded in crossing the
Save" The Servians are concentrat-
ing for a big engagement expected this
evening.

ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS.

that a march on Brussels and Ant
werp was intended
Nevertheless it is evident decisive
events are imminent and ii is doubt
full whether the official publication in
Brussels papers of a proclamation
warning civilians to abstain from acts
of hostility against the enemy. as
these may entail terrible reprisals on
the innocent population and the de-
cision Of the government to cease the
publication of bulletins on the situa-
tion are likely to reassure the pub
lie.
The appeal to the patriotism of
the press means that for some time
the people will be entirely without
news. The town is given over to
rumors. An issue of lie Soir giving
the news of an alleged German ad-
vance was suppressed by order of the
authorities and the offending para
graph was deLeted before further sale
of the paper was allowed.
1T must be remembered. on the
other hand, that owing to the small
ness to the country and the proximity
of the great city to the actual battle
field, the general staff is obliged to ex-
ercise extreme caution in order to
maintain the secrecy necessary to the
success of its operations"

FIGHTING over
REGISTRY BILL

Washington, Aug. 15.-Serious op-
position to the provision of the confer
ence report on the emergency shipping
bill which would open the coast-wise
trade to foreign built ships admitted
to American register was voiced in
the senate Friday by both democratic
and republican senators.
After several hours of debate, de-
voted chiefly to arraignment or this
proposal. the opposition senators
agre TO a vote Monday afternoon.
Friday night it was reported that
administration leaders intended TO
have a conference before Monday and
probably would discuss the situation
with the president before the report
is put to a vote.
Senator O'Gorman called up the re-
port early in the day and asked its
adoption, defending the opening OF
the coastwise trade TO foreign-built
ships as justified because of the pre-
ownership Of coastwise
vessels by railroad corporations. SEN
ator GaIIiger began building yards in
TO grass lots and would involve the
nation in international complications
Senator Cummins criticised the re-
port, because, under It's terms, for
eign-buiIt ships would be admitted to
the American trade without comply
ing with the expensive inspection lawi
which American ships must meet
these requirements.
