Some time during the night or early this morning at an hour not stated, the two Indians prisoners whom Deputy United States Marshal John Wood is bringing to Fairbanks on the steamer Panama escaped their guards and jumped overheard, with the evident intention of committing sui eide Old Toby was rescued but Jimmy was drowned Wood wires that the body had been recovered Both the Indians were held on a charge of murder in the first de gree, having been recently indicted at Ruby and arrested for the murder of mail car rier in the vicinity of Louden some years ago.

GERMAN AMBASSADOR
 PREDICTS KAISER'S SUCCESS

NEW YORK, Aug 24.-Count Johan von Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States, announced on his arrlva! here today from Rotterdam that his gov ernmnet had been informed that Russian civil and military authorities had with drawn from Poland and that the Poles had set up an independent government with Warsaw as the capital.
 Count von BernstOrff gave out one Of the most authoritative interviews yet eX- pressed here on Germany's attitude toward the war Germany was bound to win in the end he said; she was fighting because her cause was just. He predicted that Americans would come to regard the con fIict in this light. Italy, he believed, would not permit herself to take action against Germany.
 From the emperor to the lowest un- skilled workmen in the fatherland Germany is united to defend herself against the frivolities and unwarranted attack of jeal- ous powers" said the ambassador. 'The German people will fight to a finish and will be victorious in the end
 "At the outbreak of the war" he con tinued, "the English cut the cable to this neutral country for the sole purpose of preventing the news from coming here. There was no excuse for that act except the desire to deceive the people of the United States as to the true conditions Ot the war.
 "The calling of the Japanese into a European quarrel shows one thing above all else It is that England does not feel very safe The Japanese will doubtless take Kaiochou weight of numbers as sures that But by the end of the war Japan will have the supremacy of the Pa ciic-a thing she has striven for during many years Japan took advantage ot the situation to strike this blow for the sole purpose of acquiring this supremacy.
 "When the true story of the assault on Liege IS told Americans will have a far different opinion than that gained from the cclored accounts from Belgian, French and English sources.
 "A2 a matter of fact, the troops under Non Emmich which went to the assault Ot this strongly fortified position numbered only between 5000 and 6,000 infantry and cavalry. The taking of Llege was one ot the greatest military feats Tn modern times. What was expected to take weeks was ac- complished in days by two brigades. Won Emmich was slightly wounded in the leg during the attack, but did not relnqush command"
 The ambassador denied reports that the German crown prince had been wounded by an assassin in Berlin Moreover, he added, the crown prince never had been wounded before Llege, for the simple reason that he was not at Liege, but in command of the troops at the fortress at Metz,
 Germany has been attacked and there

fore has no responsibility for the wal" Count Von Bernstorff said "To the last man in the empire we will defend our country. This war has no other object but the destruction of the German and Austrian empires, and we believe we will be able to prove to all the world that this cannot be accomplished.
 "The German people are as one man for the war. It is neither the emperors war nor war of the officers, as many have charged. It is a war of the German people.
 "The women and children and the old men have uncomplainingly gone into the fields to gather the crops glad to give what help they can to their country And we have wonderful crops this year Every man, woman and child old enough to know what war means has volunteered to some service.
 As an illustration, there IS a mutimil- Honaire in Munich who is today delivering mail from door to door. He volunteered to do a postmans work because the post men had to go to war"
 Count Non Bernstorff left Berlin August II. At that time, he said the German government had reports that not a Russian soldier had been left in Poland. This re port, Count Won Bernstorf added, was gen eral throughout Berlin.
 T do not know what sort of government the Poles have set up" he said, nor do l vouch for the accuracy of the report'
 Cable dispatches from St Petersburg two weeks ago said the czar had promised auton- omy to Poland in return for its support of the Russian arms.

Early Closing Popular.

The movement for a closing of the stores at ' p. m. the year
 round, except during December and upon Saturday nights and the first day of each month, meets with strong approval ev- |erywhere.
 The trade is willing, the sales people are anxious for it and the propriet0rs ought to respond by signing the agreement. Close all the stores at ' D. m. and ev- cry merchant does the same vol
 ume of business as under longer
 hours. He cuts off certain ex- penses and his net profits are
 greater. Besides he has shown that he is considerate of the in-
 terests of others, that he recog- |nizes the rights of all laboring people to a certain amount of leisure, study and pleasure, that add to their capability when at
 work and place his store in stronger competition with pro- gressive merchants, who have
 adopted such rules.
 This closing agreement is al-
 ready under good headWay.,
 Lend it hand. You, the trad
 CTS and shoppers can impress your merchant with the desire
 bility of such hours better than
 anyone else. Get behind the
 movement andtell the merchants
 you're for it.
