LONDON. August "a. 4:35 am.-The

Venice has published what purports to be
copy of a proclamation prepared at
Malta by the British admiral and ad-
dressed to the citizens at Trieste, in Aus
tria. in anticipation of the occupation Of
their city.
The people OF Trieste are assured that
they will be saved from the rigors OF
war and are urged to resume their COM
merce by sea.
While the authenticity of this proclama-
ton has not been established, it is said
to have made a very deep impression in
Italy.

The Servian Family.


From the London Chronicle.
The Servian is seen at his best in fam

peasant marries he does not leave home.
but brings his wife into the "zadruga"
or family tribe. often comprising as
many as a hundred persons, ruled over
by family chief. This chief keeps the
money, makes the purchases and decides
the minutest details of family life, and
on his death a successor is app ointed by
the vote of the grown-up males of the
"zadruga."
The whole family does not always. of
course. live IN one building, but It lives
occupying a whole street. Imagine en-
during the proximity and perpetual criti-
cisrn of such an army of mothers-in-law,
aunts, cousins. etc, and you gain some
idea of the general equanimity Of the
Servian temperament.

SAYS THE KAISER
CONTROLSSEAC COAST
Officer of German Navy AS
serts Fleet Is Scattered
Over the Baltic.
OTHER VESSELS AWAIT
ATTACK BY THE BRITISH
Statement Given Out by Chamber
of German-American Com
merce, New York.

NEW YORK. August 24.-That the
German fleet was in control of the Dan
ish and German North sea coast; that
the older vessels of the kaiser's navy
were scattered all over the Baltic bonn
harding Russian ports. and that the high
sea fleet was off Heligoland awaiting the
attack of the British fleets. was the sub
stance of statement on the Anglo-Ger-
man naval situation as given out at the
Chamber of German-American Commerce
Saturday. The author of the state
ment, it was said. was an officer of the
German navy. 1t was not admitted al
though the question was asked. that the
author was the naval attache of the Ger
man embassy in Washington.
The statement, or review of the naval
situation. as it was termed when given
out. reads as follows:
What has the English fleet dore in
these sixteen days since the time her
order Capture or destroy Germany's
fleet" Had the English fleet been VIC
torious since that time England most
probably would have pressed upon Den
at Ejsberg, and from there to invade
Germany from the north.
English Interest in Ejsberg.
For years and years it has been
rumored that the harbor Of Ejsberg.
which was deepened by the Danish to
about twenty-eight feet, had been deep
ened through English influence. England,
IL is supposed. wished to enable steam
ers which are larger than the regular
cattle steamers arriving and leaving
this harbor to use the harbor of Els
berg place just fit for landing Eng
fish troops for the invasion Of Ger
many. That nothing OF this sort has
happened as yet proves that the Ger
man fleet is still controlling the Danish
and the German coast of the North sea.
As we'll as the whole eastern part of
the North sea itself.
All We have heard of until now has
been the destruction of the German
mine layer Koenigin Luise. and of one
German submarine boat provided we
don't want to believe the reports, which
again and again are popping up, about
the destruction of four English dread
nouShts and two cruisers, now supposed
to be living on the bottom of the sea
In tile Humber.
As far as the destruction of the
Koenigin Luise and the sinking of the
English cruiser Amphion is concerned
there are 50 many different opinions
about the sad events in vogue that it
seems TO be worth while to explain the
conditions under which these two
steamers worked and persisted

quick as possible But since the Koeni-
gin 1Iuise, even going full steam ahead,
could not make more than knots While
the torpedo boats could average from 2S to
So knots, the English flotilla was upon
the enemy inside of an hour, surrounded
the ship which had no means to de-
fend herself, and blew her up in the
air.
After this the Amphion, with its
hotilla returned toward the English
coast The British ships went back over
the same field of mines which the Ger
man ship had just distributed. instead OF
taking a different and, therefore, safer
course While the fiotilla passed safely
over the mines, the cruiser Amphion,
having the greater depth, struck one ana
persisted.
"As far as the present activity OF the
German feet is concerned. it is very prob
able that the older ships are scattered all
over the Baltic sea, for two reasons: In
the first place. to lombard the Russian
harbors and to harm the Russian Baltic
coast, then to guard the Sund, the small
and the big Belt the three straits lead
ing from the North sea into the Baltic
between Denmark and Sweden, In order
to prevent the slipping through of English
torpedo boats and an English attack or
Kiel and the Kaiser Wilhelm canal and
to keep the trade open with Sweden, Nor
way and Denmark. The newer ships are
presumably near Heligoland awaiting a
possible attack.
East German Fleet Intact.
'.In regard to the far, east German
feet it appears that she is entirely intact.
It even seems that the two best English
cruisers of the east Asiatic fleet have
been damaged by her to a great extent
A couple of days ago the news circulated
that two armed cruisers, each having foul
tunnels, whose nationality could not be
tliscerned,' had entered the English har.
Dor of Hongkong, badly damaged by shells
1t would seem that the problem of dis
corning the nationality of these two ships
ought not to be such very puzzling one
for the English people in Hongkong. Out
side of that it sounds almost impossible
that two Germn ships should seek ref
uge in the hostile harbor of Hongkong
instead Of the neutral American port OF
Manila.
BY the way. it is not very fiattering
fact for the British navy that England.
in spite of having far superior navy in
the far east. which. moreover, lie
strengthened by the French armored and
Russian protected cruisers, as we'll as by
a considerable number of destroyers, tor
pedo boats and even submarines. does
not feel sure of being able to defeat
those two German cruisers. Therefore.
another whole nation with its big and
powerful navy has been. as all evidences
show, asked to help the British against
the much feared Germans

Statement Based on War Plans,

According to the naval war plans of
both powers involved the whole ma
neuver took place in the following
way:
The koenigin Luise. which in times
of peace is an excursion boat was sent
TO lay mines, not. as enormously
stated. on the German coast where
they would be of no use. since they would
only serve to destroy our own ships
but in front of the mouths of the
English harbors. in order to prevent
the English ships from leaving the har-
bors. She carried as all the German mine
layers do. a complete map of the parts
of the North sea where she was sup
posed TO drop the mines Every spot
where mine is to be dropped is
carefully laid out beforehand and lat
itude and longitude are carefully taken
before the mine is laid.
The mines laid by the Germans are
attached to an iron block which drops
in the water. anchoring itself on the bot
tom Of the sea. Through automatic
clochwork the height TO which the mines
rises from the anchor is carefully fixed
beforehand and corresponds with the
assumed depth of the ocean at the spot
where the mine is supposed to be laid
In the Russo-Japanese war, the Japanese
mines We're attached to wooden struc-
lures, which after the mine was an
chored on the bottom. always drifted on
the surface of the water, therefore warn
ing the Russian warships of the presence
of the Japanese mines. With the Ger
man iron structure to which the mines
are attached repetition of this is pre-
vented, since there is no sign whatever
of the mine on the surface of the water.

OPENS FIRE ON
TROLLEY CREW
Elected Passenger Blamed for
Bullets That Fail to
Hit

Thorton Williams, motorman, and
Leroy Curtett, conductor, on a car of
the Peoples Railway Company, we're
fired upon from ambush near Second
and Scott streets, late Saturday night.
One passenger on the car had a sim
liar escape.
The man who did the shooting is
supposed to have been a passenger
who was elected from one of the cars
of the company a short time before
the crew was fired upon. 1t is
thought that he secreted himself and
when the car came by, started firine
at the motOrman and conductor. The
aggrieved man, whoever he was, did
not take time to see whether he was
shooting at the same crew that eject
ed him or not, but blazed away. The
man had not been put off the car OPP
Grated by Williams and Curtett.

company's cars was going out Second
