Moscow to Lewiston in Is Minutes

Moscow Star-Mirror: Terah T. Ma
roney, the noted aviator, accomplished
the flight from Moscow to Lewiston
Sunday morning in % minutes. The
trip was probably the fastest time
ever made between the two points in
the history of Moscow and Lewiston
and the fact that Aviator Maroney ac-
complished the feat successfully, MAX
ing the distance of over 80 miles,
stands out as a distinctive compliment
to the officials of the Latah County
fair Association, who gave him every
encouragement in making the prepara-
tiOns.
The writer in company with Jay
Woodwork, manager of the fair asso-
citation, and Jack the son of the latter,
motored to Uniontown Sunday MORN
ing early in order to get good view
of the flight, intending to make the
rimrock overlooking Lewiston. Ma
roney arose to a height of more than
5000 feet, leaving his hangar at the
fair grounds here at 7:49. He landed
at the Lewiston fair grounds at 8: IT,
the people of Lewiston having been
called from their homes by the toll
ing of the Lewiston fire bell. It was
a great sight for the Lewiston people.
Maroney left his hangar here II min
utes earlier than he had intended
which resulted in our failure to reach
the rimrock in time to witness his f.
nal descent.
After circling to great height in
Moscow, Maroney took a westerly
course for several miles, then made a
straight air line shoot southeasterly
for Lewiston. Arriving over the
Clearwater canyon he was seen to be-
gin his drop in spiral shoot, swing
ing around the city before alighting.
1t was magnificent day with but a
slight breeze being noticeable. The
conditions were splendid and but for
the detour made by Mr.. Maroney he
would have cut the flying time down
four minutes.

Russia Fights Austria
and Germany in Long
Line on Frontier
10000 Prisoners Are Said to Have
Been Taken by kaisers Army,
While st. Petersburg Reports
That Advance on Berlin
Is Progressing.

New York.-From a maze Of con
Trajectory Russian, Germany and Aus
trian versions of the situation on the
Russo-Austro German frontier, the on
ly fact uncontroverted is that there
has been and is furious fighting
through Austrian Galicia, Russian
Poland and East Prussia, from Lem
berg to the Baltic at Koenigsberg.
Germans claim to have taken 3d.
900 Russian prisoners in Southern
East Prussia; Koenigsberg is said to
be only partly occupied by the invest
ing Russian army; the Germans were
SO hard pressed on the Vistula that
the garrisons of the fortified strong
holds of Thorn and Graudenze went
out to help the Germans on the line.
Austria claims decisive" success
for her flying wedge driven into Rus
sian Poland at Krasnik and Lublin,
intended to split the Russian advance.
From Russia came only assertions
of an irresistible advance on Berlin.
Russian Cossacks are pursuing a
fleeing Austrian army near Samosce
in northern Galicia, according to st.
Petersburg cables. Thousands Of Aus
TRANS are said to have been taken
prisoners. The Russians also claim
to be advancing in East Prussia.
Russia has so many men that she
is ordering some of them home. The
Gar has given a six weeks leave of
absence to 500, 900 reservists Of the
1907 class. These r~eservists have
recently been at the coiors at differ
.ent depots brushing up their military
knowledge preparatory to a call to
the front. 1t was found possible, how
ever, to allow them to return home
for a nominal term, but they are to
hold themselves in readiness to re-
spond to the next call. Russia ap-
parently can thus in the heat of war
afford to let half a million modified
reservists go home.

Already the United Fruit Com

been cautioned not to use their wire
less except through the United
States stations in the Canal Zone.

The French r sending svrong re-
Inducements to their second line of
defence. The English troops sent
across the Channel are now being
d~isembarked at Havre, indicating that
the left of the allies line has retired
to the second line of defence.
Although the allies are apparently
in a stronger position now than be-
fore the preparations in Paris to with
stand a siege are being pursued with
vigor. The Military Governor of
Paris has ordered all residents Of the
zone within the action of the city's
defending forts to evacuate and de-
molish their houses.
A ~trainload of prisoners passed
through Acheres going westward.
They included Count Won Schwerin,
a nephew of the Kaiser, who occu-
pied a second class compartment. He
was very slightly wounded. He was
h~andcuffed to a gendarme as he had
refused to give his word of honor not
to try to escape.
Although no official returns have
yet been made in Paris of the killed
or wounded, such kilograms as the
following would fill two columns:
"Three trainloads of wounded pass
ed through Versailles. The chief
anxiety of the men was to learn how
soon they could return to the front.
Learning that some of those wound
ed in the first days of the war al
ready had returned to fight, the men
on the trains raised cheers" -Four
more trains reached Vichy bringing
wounded"
"Forty-three wounded have arrived
at Chateau Gontier."
Three trains carrying wounded
passed through Nantes"
1.-TWO hundred wounded have ar
rived at Aurillac and 100 at Laval.g
So the long catalogue continues,
each dispatch notes that the wounds
are not serious.
The past two days have proved how
much exaggerated is the fear that,
the French public is unable to re.
ceive news which appears to the
non-military mind as grave, for the
realization that the enemy is within
close distance of Paris was received
in the French capital with the great
est GOODNESS and without a sign of
panic.

COUNT BERNSTORFF SAYS
KAISER WOULD WELCOME
END OF FIGHTING
ANY MOMENT.

New York.-That the war may
see an early end is the some
what astounding deduction that
seems inevitable from a state
ment made by Count Johann
Won Bernstorff, German Ambas-
sador to the United States.
"The war has been fought and
won," he said, and followed i'm
mediateIy with these highly sig
nificant words: Germany did
not begin the war; she did not
want the war. She is ready for
peace at any moment"
Statements of such import are
not lightly made by diplomats Of
the class of the German Ambas-
sador and it was taken by we'll
Informed observers as one of the
most important bits of news of
the week.
The Ambassador was at the
Ritz-carIton Hotel, and after a
careful reading of the latest
wireless dispatches from Berlin
received through the station at
SayviIIe, L. l., said that the stu
alton demanded full and imme-
date explanation. He then gave
his Interpretation of what he
termed the tremendous import
of the news.

CROWDS QUIT PARIS
IN FEAR OF SIEGE
Thousands Leave City or Stand All
Night Waiting for Ticket
Offices to Open.

Paris.-Fear of a siege has created
such a visible uneasiness in Paris
that thousands are leaving the city.
Lines of people stretched for blocks
from the railway stations. All places
on all trains leaving for the south
were sold early, and the approaches
to the stations are crowded with
people who are waiting for the ticket
Offices to open.
The decision of the military authori-
ties to clear the zone of forts around
Paris does not affect the zone imme-
diately surrounding the old fortiica-
tons of the city. 1t only applies to
detached forts, such as those at
Mont-Valerien and Issy and others.
Under this decision all the build
ings and small structures of no great
value surrounding the forts will be
pulled down. Steps have been taken
to provide shelter for all homeless
persons.
Lieutenant Colonel Leonce Rousset,
the military critic, treasures those
who may be frightened by the pos

BRITISH PEOPLE HOPEFUL.

London.-The German advance on
Paris is temporarily checked. !.
This message from Paris cheered
the spirits of the British people,
mourning over the loss of so many
thousand Of its finest troops on the
French battlefelds.
The change in the fortunes of war
is attributed to the rushing of hun
dreds Of thousands of fresh French
soldiers to the second line of defence
and the Russian advance in East
Prussia, which is forcing the Kaiser
to withdraw troops from Belgium and
hurry them to the Eastern border.
In fact, it is said the allies have
taken the offensive in northern
France and are pushing back the
Germans along a 80 mile line from
Cambria to Guise.
An official statement announces
that fresh troops have been sent to
the British forces in France to more
than doubly make up for the losses
in battle. every gunner has been
replaced and the army is now ready
for the next great battle" it is an-
nounced.
Losses to the British army in fight
ing between August % and August
26 were between 5000 and 5000 men,
Field Marshal Sir John French, COM
mander Of the expeditionary force,
estimates.
The Germans penetrated a short
distance on the Somme River, near
San Quentin. The British, in con-
junction with the French left, resum-
ed a vigorous offensive. Further
west the French troops checked the
.eHenAy's advance guard.
At the other extremity of the
Mouse the French are offering a Wig
orous and successful resistance which
extends along nearly the whole front.
It was unoficially reported in Paris
that the French operations at Guise
had been successful. Guise is 120
miles from Paris.
At an hour when it appeared that
the French left would be turned and
that they were in grave danger of
being routed, came the official an
nouncement that four French army
corps had driven back on Guise the
Tenth German corps and Guard from
St. Quentin, where, according to Ger
man sources, the Germans had inflict-
ed a terrible reverse on the English
troops. The Germans, as they fell
back to Guise, suffered great loss, it
is reported.

BRITISH TAKE PORT OF
APIA, GERMAN SAMOA

An Expeditionary Force From New
Zealand Captures the Town.
London.-The Official Bureau issued
the following announcement:
1.-THE Colonial Office has received a
telegram from the Governor of New
Zealand stating that Apia, German
Samoa, surrendered at 10 a. M, on
Saturday to an expeditionary force
sent from New Zealand"
Apia is about twenty miles west OF
Tutuila and Page Page, the United
States naval station. The islands
were ceded to Germany and the
United States by a Joint treaty with
Great Britain, in 1899.
The capture of Apia, which neces-
sarily means the capture of the island
Of Upolu, takes from Germany an i'm.

AUSTRIAN ATTITUDE
PUZZLES JAPANESE

Tokio.-The attitude Of Austria dur
ing the conversations regarding the
Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth
is causing comment among the diplo-
matists and is said also to have puz-
zled the Japanese Foreign Office con-
siderably.
1t appears that a few days ago the
Austrian government ordered its Am
bassador in Toxic, Baron Muller de
Szentyvorgy, to approach Baron Kato,
Japanese Minister Of Foreign Rela-
tons, and request his consent that
the Kaiserin Elizabeth be allowed to
proceed to Shanghai, and there be
interned. Baron Kato agreed to this,
and the British Ambassador, through
Baron Kato, also signified his WILL
ingness on the following day.

French Troops Rushed Into Forts to

The Hague, Holland.-A message
from Berlin says the German War
office declares the German troops con
tinue to advance in northern France.
The British troops are now cut off
from their base, it Is said, through
a fanking movement operated by the
Germans in northwest France, and the
French troops continue to retreat.
A German force, wheeling south be-
tween the British troops and the sea,
prevents conjunction with reinforce
ments which have just landed, and
the British troops in the field must
now receive their supplies from the
south which puts difficulties in the
path of the already troubled commits
sariat, according to the official state
ment. The prediction is made that
Paris will be invested
The statement admits heavy Ger
man losses in the Vosges, but ex-
plains it by saying that the French
forces are strongly i%ntrenched in the
heights.
1t is believed the Kaiser has staked
everything on investing Paris imme'
diately by completely overwhelming
the opposition now massed between
the German lines and Paris.
Paris.-Paris is all ready for a
siege. The Notifications encircling
the city were occupied by fresh
troops that came by rail from the
south and west of France. The troop
trains were arriving throughout the
night and passing around the city to
points within the defences.
The French War Office issued a
full, frank statement in regard to the
operations of the past week. 1t adj
mits several reverses and heavy
losses, but says that at no point has
the army been really demoralized.
The morale remains excellent and all
holes in the ranks have been stopped
by reinforcements from the army
centers.
On the French right, in the Vosges,
according to the statement, the
French have taken the offensive and
the Germans are retreating. In the
center, after alternating successes
and checks, a great battle is on. At
the French left, where the Germans
are making their fianking movement
in the north, it is admitted that the
French forces have been compelled
to give way and yield ground.
NH e%aoI- DoEcoCk 0f 4ho TNrAnah
Allies in northern France and the
governments refusal to send to the
front thousands of willing and able
bodied men seem to point to the fol-
lowing conclusions, according to sup.
porters of Frances defensive policy:
By %retreating to the present sec
ond line of defense the French
shorten their front and foil the Ger
mar attempt to flank them. The fur
Their the Germans are drawn into the
country the harder it will be to OBJ
tain supplies and the greater the num-
Der of troops needed to guard the
lengthening lines of communication.
The allied armies meanwhile are
virtually intact and ready to strike
a decisive blow at the weakened Ger
ans The French government de-
sires to hold sufficient recruits in re-
serve to make up a second army equal
to the first. Preparations are being
made for a long struggle and even if
the present army is destroyed resis-
lance by no means will be ended.
