GREAT COMBAT FOR LIFE
Hundreds Of Thousands of Men Are
Needed.

London.-Field Marshall Lord Rot
erts made the declaration that Great
Britain, in the present war, would re-
quire hundreds of thousands of SOL
diers.
The occasion of this statement was
the review of new regiment of / 300
London business men. In an address
Lord Roberts said in part:
"You are the pick of the natior's
highly educated business men. You
follow various professions, and you are
doing exactly what all able-bodied
men in the kingdom should do, no mat
ter what their rank or station in life.
My feeling toward you is one of in
tence admiration. How very different
is your action to that of the men who
can still go on playing cricket and
football as if the very existence of
the country were not at stake. We
are engaged in a lfe-and-death strug-
gle, and you are showing your deter
mination to do your duty as soldiers
and by all the means in your power to
bring this war-a war forced on us by
an ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS ma
tion-to a successul result"

PORT OF ADVANCE OF RUS

RAPID PROGRESS BEING MADE
In Raising Fund for Relief Of Germans
In Old Country-officiaI Announce

Cincinnati, O.-Reports of the ad-
vance OF Russians into Koenigsberg
and of their occupation of Allenstein
were discredited by Oscar Mezger,
German consul, in Cincinnati.
1--WE have official announcements
from Berlin saying that the Russian
forces, consisting of five army corps,
were routed in a decisive engagement
south of Allenstein," he said 1T is
difficult to understand how the czars
troops could have forced their way
as far as Koenigsberg, which lies near
the northern border of Prussia, when
it had been announced from reliable
quarters that they were defeated and
put to flight before they reached Allen
stein, near the southern frontier. We
heard several days ago that German
troops were moving in the country
south of Lille and news of engage
ments miles below that city have been
received, but in spite of these facts it
Is reported that the Germans have
succeeded only in forcing their way

advance toward Paris. l am confident
that when more exhaustive and less
biased reports are allowed to be sent
out of Paris and England We will hear
that the Germans have not only been
effective in protecting their own coun-
try, but that they have been advancing
steadily and according to the plans of
the campaign.

TO RAID WITH ZEPPELINS
Machines 562 Feet in Length and Each
Capable of Carrying 18 Tons.

New York.-Thomas R. MacMechan,
president of the Aeronautical Society
of America and an authority on dirigi-
bles, stated that he had received relia-
Bile information that the Germans
plan to make raids on England with
Zeppelins, using Ostend as base of
operations.
According to his information, Mac
Mechan said, seven additional Zep-
pelins would be turned out from the
works at Friedrichshafen. This fleet,
he said, was the one referred to by
Count Won Bernstorff, German Ambas-
sador.
MacMechen declared that four field
hangers, built of canvass, had been
shipped to the German lines before Os-
tend, and that these would be used to
house the new dirigibles. The seven
machines, according to his statement
are the largest ever built. They are
each 562 feet in length, and are equip
ped with motors totalling 1900 horse
power for each airship. Each can car
ry a useful load of about 18 tons,
four tons more than the Zeppelins now
in USE He further points out that,
with Ostend as a base, the English
coast could be reached in an hour, and
that the balloons could fly at such an
altitude as to be out of range of the
British guns.

AerOplanes Drop Bombs Into City Of Paris Great
Battle Reported Raging On Austrian Frontier
Germany Virtually Accepts Wireless Neu-
trality Plan of the United States

British destroyers which took part in
the battle off Heligoland, was hit by a
she'll which shattered her mast and
tore away part of her bridge first of
all, and then smashed her searchlights
and killed her commander, Lieut.. Com.
mander Nigel X. W. Bartellot, and
William Butcher, his signal man. Their
deaths were instantaneous.
Accounts of the battle say it was
perfect in execution as well as in plan.
Led at dawn by fearless small de.
tachment, the destroyers crept within
the German line between Heligoland
and the German coast.
"An aeroplane sighted them and
gave the news to the Germans, whose
destroyers then came out. The Brit
ish destroyeTs lured the Germans to
the open sea, where other destroyers
were waiting, spread out in fan shape.
A small engagement followed, and
then the German cruisers came out.
Fhe British light cruiser Arethusa,
after sighting shot, got her range
splendidly and hit the foremost gun
of one Of the German cruisers, demol-
ishing it. The Arethusa then fired a
few broadsides at the enemy. Her
practice was excellent. She hit Ger
man cruiser, which at once burst into
smoke and flame, but soon afterward
German shot did some damage to the
engine room of the Arethusa.

MODEL OF THE WORLD
"Secret Diplomacy Belongs to the Ira
ditions Of Autocratic and Personal
Government"

London.-The News, in an editorial
denouncing secret diplomacy, says:
Can Europe ever again tolerate the
appalling peril of secret diplomacy?
Can we ever again play about on the
deck with sails and compasses, max
ing our little laws and imagining that
we are self-governing, while down in
the hold of. our ship of str there is
a powder magazine, the yea existence
of which We are not permitted to
know? Secret diplomacy belongs to
the traditions of autocratic and per-
sonal government; it has no place in
democratic world, and the example
of the United States must become the
model of the civilized world on this
vital matter If Europe is to be free
from menace in the future"

NURSES GOING TO SERvIA
New Applications Cause Red Cross To
Increase Number.

Washington.-New applications from
Europe have caused the American Red
Cross to increase the corps of doctors
and nurses who will sail soon for
Northern Europe on steamer to be
chartered by the organization. In ad-
dition Servian unit, composed of
three surgeons and IL nurses, will sail
on Greek ship from New York about
September 8, and travel into Servia by
way of Pyreus and Solonica. The char
tered ship, carrying ten or more units,
will sail directly for ports in Northern
Europe.
Red Cross officials were informed
through Ambassador Page at London
and the state department that it was
the wish of the British government
to make use of some of the organiza-
tion's surgeons and nurses aboard
hospital ship. The ambassador said
also the picric acid dressings for burns
were among the supplies urgently
needed.
