DoDGING WARSHIPS.


New York. Aug. 6.-Further word of
the big English liner Lusitania lodging
German cruisers in a race for England,
was brought to New York today by the
oil tank steamer Tonawanda, from Lon
don and Antwerp. Captain Hart said
that yesterday he heard the Lusitania
in wireless communication with the
British cruiser Essex. saying that a
foreign cruiser was following her and
asking the Essex to stand by. Later
the Essex went in search Of the for
eigner.
During three days past, said Capt.
Hart. the wireless brought news of the
presence Of British, French and Ger
man cruiserA None was sighted now

RUSSIA STARTED IT.
President OF Peace Society i
Gar for War.

New York, Augs &1Df. Ernest Rich
ard. presiden. Of the -German-American
Peace society ana founder Of the New
York Peace society. said today:
The clash in Europe was not started
by the Austria-Servia embodiment. The
deeper real cause Of the war .s. Shall
Europe be ruled by Asiatics or by
Europeans-by Slavs or by Teutons?
Russia, with its Asiatic absolutism
and hatred Of the ideas of individual
liberty, means to make itself master Of
all Europe as well as Of Asia The c1ar
knows that the Teuton is his only bar
to that and he means to seize Europe
and Asia even If he has to do 1t over
the dead bodies of the Teuton race.
Was Germany expected to sit quietly
by while Russia was maSSing her troops
against her? In the same way the
French, who had been meanly sulxing at
their defeat since the Franco-Prussian
war, are little concerned about the
rights or wrongs Of Scrvta. They see
only a chance to get revenge with the
aid of Russia and England.
France began the war without first
declaring war, Just as she has done
twenty times before. this to Germany in
the past hundred years.
Germany does not want war. Never
was 1t SO prosperous; never did it 80
strongly desire peace. 1t ID ridiculous
not to see that Germany and the kaiser
had no mott, to want war. But they
were driven into war by the Muscovite
who wants to sweep Europe. and by the
French who want revenge"

possibility Of the United States being

and Senator 0allinger OF New HAmp-

thought this country might be drawn
into the war.
Senator Crawford said that to pass

year Wednesday. The Dollar Day.
plan of selling merchandise is for each
merchant to pick out the biggest Of
ferings possible to give for one hun
dred cents. and then invite the public
to go as far as it likes for that day.
Much of the goods offered yesterday
were picked up at loss to the dealer,
but as it is the season for clearances
anyway. all were very well pleased
with the days sale, and most of them
are anxious to have the event made a
regular event-at least twice a year.
While out-of-town shoppers were fewer
than had been expected, 1t is thought
that when they become familiar with
the nature of the splendid values Of
Tered they Will. come to Topeka in
force.
Following are some of the express
sions from merchants: ~
w. w. Whitney of the Warren M.
Crosby Co. said that his firm was very
much pleased with the results of the
Dollar Day" sale. as the trading was
general over the store with unusual
crowds at the various departments
from the time the store opened until
it closed at o'clock. while many
out-o1-toWn people were to be seen
among the shoppers during the day."
continued Mr.. Whitney, lit was very
evident that Topeka people were in the
majority from the fact that the buying
commenced as soon as our doors were
opened. I believe that if every mer-
chant would enter into these Dollar
Day events, say three or four times a
year, they would become the biggest
trading days Topeka has ever seen.
The next one should be held when out
of-town buyers will have a better op-
portunity to reach Topeka
Mr.. Gladfelter of the Crockett Mer-
camille Co. said: I'VE had a grand
day. We were busy all day and at
times could not wait on the crowds We
did our best to offer unusual Values
Among the grocers, Harry Whittel-
sey of the Owl stores. said that the ex-
ira amount of trading was very graf
flying. He was of the impression that
Dollar Day should be regular event.

Frank Griggs of the Felix Clothing
company, 'our total sales for the day

the idea is good one to use regu-
larly.'
