STOCK EXCHANGES
SUSPEND BUSINESS

New York, Aug. 1.-Facing the
enormous task of trying to absorb the
worlds stock business the New York
Stock exchange decided to close.
The board of governors held that
unloading of stocks might cause panic.
The stock exchanges in Philadel-
phia, Boston, Pittsburg, Chicago and
other large cities did not open, it be-
ing announced that they would be
closed until further notice.
London, Aug. 1.-The committee
decided to close the London Stock
Exchange until further notice on &C
count of the international war crisis.
This is the first instance in modern
times when the London exchange has
suspended all business
Closing of the London exchange in
dicates the extreme gravity with
which financiers view the war situa-
ton. For four days there has been
practically no buying. Consols reach
ed a new low level. The bottom
dropped out on all stocks.

silver, was intercepted by four British

received orders from her owners to
proceed to Hamburg, without calling
at any British port.
With the big German liner and her
rich cargo in their charge the British

tween England and Germany.
The gold was shipped from New

FRENCH REPuLSE ONE
FORCE WITH LOSS
Kaiser's Legions Are Accused
Of VIo|ating Neutrality
Of Gutenberg.

London, Aug. 3-German forces be-
gan the invasion of France without,
so far as is known, declaration Of
war having been made. Two German
detachments entered French territory,
moving in the direction of Paris.
One German force crossed the
French frontier near the village Of
Grey, between Nancy and Strassburg,
and another German detachment, prob
ably the Twenty-ninth infantry, invad-
ed the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
neutral territory between Belgium and
Germany, and continued it's march on
the French fortified town Of Longwy.
A dispatch from Brussels said there Is
good reason to believe that this force
entered France later.
The German force which came into
France near Grey, which is forty
miles from Nancy, is reported to have
been repulsed with heavy losses, but
this has not yet been confirmed.
Apparently the German army is du-
plicating the first movement of the
Franco-Prussian war. 1t was on Aug,
2, 1870, that the French and Germans
clashed in the first battle of that war
at Saarbrucken, where the prince i'm.
perial, under the orders of the en-
peror, received his famous baptism
of fire."
1t would appear that Germany is
| taking the fullest possible advantage
Of her supposed superiority in rapid
| mobilization over France.
The plan of the German emperor,
according to military observers here,
is to vaneush or attempt to vanquish
France in the interval before Russia
| will be able to Greats serious trouble
on her northern frontier. 1t is sup.
posed that Russian mobilization will
take about three weeks.
All telegraphic and telephone com.
munication between Brussels and Lux.
emburg has been severed.
| BY the treaty of London, signed in
1867, the grand duchy Of Luxembourg
| was declared neutral territory. It's in.
tegrity and independence were guar
anteed.
! Longwy is fortified town of France
on the Belgium frontier, forty miles
northwest of Metz in Germany.

ILL HEALTH SAID TO
Be CAUSE OF SUICIDE
Methodist Minister Ends Life
by Drowning.

Rev. G.. w. Lutz, for three years
pastor of Clinton Avenue Methodist
church at St. Paul and who left that
charge to become district superin-
tendent of the Winona district last
October, committed suicide by drown
ing in Winona lake. He leaves a wife
and four children.
III health is. given as the probable
cause for Mr. Lutz taking his life.
He had been in poor health all sum-
mer and had been told by physicians
that he was suffering from diabetes
! and could not live long. The certain
ty of his approaching end preyed on
his mind, it is believed.
While in St. Paul Rev. Mr.. Lutz
was an active, stirring Christian,
much liked by his congregation and
by the people of the West Side. Claim.
ing that people who did not 60 to
church ought to have the church
taken to them, Mr. and Mrs. Lutz last
summer began series of street
meetings which they carried on from
a pulpit made in an automobile.

ABOUT The STATE
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.

With six Of the eighty-six counties
Of Minnesota recounted on the Repub'
lican vote for state auditor the lead
of J. A. o. Preus over Henry Rines
has been reduced from. 1867 to 971.
The recount is now going on in Ram
sey county. and Hennepin will come
next. There has been gain for
Rines in each county recounted so far
as follows:
St. Louis 26, Pine 4, Kanabec 2,
Mile Laos Is, Sherburne 26, Anoka IA.
In addition there are fifty ballots
of these ballots Rines claims gain
Of ten for him.
In St. Louis county the recount of
ballots gave Rines gain of ninety
three, but two mistakes Of the county
canvassing board, both of them
against Preus. were discovered, Civ
ing Preus gain OF sixty-eight. Many
votes were added to all the candidates
by the recount. The failure of cleo
ton clerks to count votes marked in
the second choice column was respon-
sible for this. First choice votes
gained in St. Louis county by the re-
count we're: Block 25O, Preus 312
Rines 1923. The second choice vote
was doubled, because most of the
election judges failed to make an in.
telligible return. The Preus second
choice vote in the county was in.
creased from 148 to 345 and the Rines
vote from 1876 to 407.
Messrs. Preus and Rines personally
are watching the recount and have
dispensed with attorneys for the most
part.
