GRAND JURY MAY
MAKE PROBE IN
DISTRICT COURT
tcontlnued from page one,

three years, at least, and has resulted
in many noIle prosequis by the city
and county attorneys Office and vast
amount OF work in circuit court OF q
police court calibre. Judge Ashford is
convinced that the law which permits
any defendant in police court, no mat
ter how trivial his case may be, to
carry his trial directly up to the cir
cult court without the semblance of a
hearing in the lower jurisdiction, has
been abused in large number of in
stances. There are several reasons
why such action in petty case, such
as one of needless driving, driving
without a license, opium smoking,
would work to the advantage of de-
fenses counsel-though perhaps not
always to the defendant himself.
By flooding the circuit court calen-
dar with these, actual trial. may be
postponed an indefinite length of time
and important witnesses for the pros
ecution may be lost, thus weakening
or defeating the prosecution entirely.
There are number Of such cases on
the circuit calendar now that have
been pending fer a year or longer.
Because there are so many cases, the
prosecution may not have time to give
all jury trial, or may have lost its
witnesses and thus nolle prosequi is
the only recourse left the city and
county. Even If the defendant finally
pleads guilty or is convicted he can
get only a police court sentence, a fine
which If paid in cash will scarcely pay
the expense to which the government
has been put. ~ ........ .
Within the last week two or three
petty cases which, Judge Ashford be-
lieves, should be within the province
of the police court solely, have been
tried in his court, before juries, and
were more than a year old. At the
present time there are nearly 100
cases of similar character on the cir
cult court calendar. awaiting trial.
From the remarks Judge Ashford |
has made in court it is suspected in
court circles that hereafter all such |
defendants who plead guilty or are
convicted will receive severe penal |
ties. ..": -.

WAR Will COST 70 BILLIONS
Estimate Made BY Nikola Tesla Of
the Terrible Conflict.

New York.-Taking issue with other
statisticians more moderate in their
estimates, Nikola Tesla, the famous
inventor OF electrical contrivances,
says the total cost OF the general war
now going on probably will not be
les than 100000, 900.
The present war may easily in
volve 10000. 900 combatants," said Mr.
Tesla. Il have seen an estimate of a
total cost of s5O,00O,O00 a day. This
is too low The number of those dis
abled through wounds and disease was
recently placed at 100000. This. also.
is too moderate. 1t would be less than
two and one half per cent and it must
be remembered that in the most re-
cent great war preceding this. the
Balkan struggle, the casualties were
ten times greater, or 25 per cent.
observe that il is reported Belgium
lost s3O0000,000 in two weeks fight
ing while there were no large cities in
the path OF the Germans.
The difficulty with most statisti-
clans OF war losses is that they simply
consider the cost of military opera
tons. This is a small fraction of the
war waste

CHARGES

THEY SAY THAT "TIME FOR WAR
WITH GLOVES ON HAS
PASSED."

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-A dispatch to the Reuter-
Telegram Company from Paris quotes
an official statement:
Owing to strategical considerations
it has been impossible to cooperate
earlier with the Belgian army in the
defense of their country, but the en-
gagements which we have undertaken
are only the more solemn and our CO.
operation will be still closer and will
be pursued with extreme energy.
I'm contrast with the considerate
treatment accorded German prison
ers, it has been established that the
enemy considerers as nonexistent both
international conventions and the most
ancient traditions of right and military
order. We are suffering a veritable in
vasion of barbarians. We wish, in
deed to remain civilized. and will do
so till the end, despite this return to
savagery on the part of nation which
has pretended TO be an arbiter of
civilization. But it is impossible to
preserve toward our present adverse
ries the chivalrous generosity which
until now has been the rule between
soldiers.
Time for war with gloves on has
passed The enemies with whom we
exchanged at Foptenoy courteous
words before opening fire have becon.,
today our faithful and useful allies
We have before us unbridled savages
We owe to them only the strict obser-
vance of the rules of humanity and
the laws of war.
The minister of war has issued
strict instructions that German pris-
oners, officers as we'll as soldiers, are
not to be treated with the considera-
ton and favor which should be re.
served for our own men. Life is as
sured. naturally, but that is all we
owe them"

Paris.-An official announcement
Monday says:
The great battle between the great
er part of the forces OF England and
France against the bulk of the Ger
man army continues today.
THE mission of the English and the
French is to hold virtually the entire
German army in Belgium. while our
Russian allies pursue their successes
in the east.
THE Germans occupy territory so
miles wide on the German frontier.
1.-The Russian line on the German
frontier extends from Tilsit to Inver-
burg and Ayrs. The German popula-
ton is evacuating Wiilenberg. 81 miles
southeast of Koenigsburg, because of
the arrival of Russian forces from Po-
land, which already have penetrated a
considerable distance toward Soldau. "
A dispatch from st. Petersburg, re-
viewing Russian operations. says:
"Russia's two great armies are ad-
vancing over front extending 70
miles to a great pitched battle, sue

front as to make it impossible for Ger
many to detach assistance from any
where"
A dispatch received in Rome from
st. Petersburg declares that Emperor
Nicholas has gone to the headquarters
of the Russian army, which now has
taken the offensive in full strength.
The incursion of large bodies of Rus
sian troops into the German provinces
of east and west Prussia and their cap
ture of the important positions of
Gumbinnen and Insterburg bring them
in front of a series of more or less
strongly fortified German cities To-
Gated strategically east OF the river
Vistula and between II and the from
tier.
Among the first-class fortresses, one
is Koenigsburg on the gulf of Danzig.
The city contains about 100000 lnhab-
itants and formerly was Polish pos
session. The fortress is strongly gar
risoned. Thorn, southwest of koenlgs-
burg. is another first-class fortress

works.
Allenstein probably is stronger even
than Thorn. Its garrison consists oil
six infantry battalions, one dragon
regiment and a regiment of field ar
tillery. but it is headquarters OF the
Thirty-seventh Infantry division, as
well as of the Seventy-fifth infantry
brigade and the Thirty-seventh caval-
nv brigade and it is regarded as
place of concentration for field army.
Allenstein lies equidistant between
Thorn and Koenigsburg, the three
cities forming the first fortified line
on the eastern German frontier.
Far TO the north on the Vistula lies
Danzig. a great naval station and for
tress.
South Of the Russian line of advance
on the left wing of the Russian army.
lies Posen. a strongly fortified city.
formerly part of Poland, which is oc-
cupied by a garrison whose strength is
believed to be very great.
Between Danzig and Posen, on an
uneven line, lies the two fortresses of
Bromberg. These are the keys of the
second line of defensive works.
Other small fortified places on the
line of advance are Marienburg. with
small garrison of artillery; Klum.
with a garrison OF one rifle regiment
and a machine gun section; Dirschau,
small place, and Braumsberg, &C.
cupied by a fusileer battalion. All
three places originally were Polish.
