First Big Struggle Will Go Far Toward Settling the Future of Europe, Is the Belief
VARIOUS REPORTS
 OF ENGAGEMENTS
 COME IN ALL DAY
Severe Fighting Follows the Clashing of Reconnoiter- ing Parties in Force-Al- lies Score Successes

London, August 13.-(1:45 p. m. .)-The hour of the great battle which will have much to do with settling the future of Europe IS appreciably nearer.
 Reports of engagements, which when the main armies meet, will be considered insignificant, have been coming in all day, showing that the cavalry screens, sometimes accompa- nied by infantry, whose duty it is to find out what is going on behind, have come into contact in northern Belgium near Haelen and on the French from tier near Othain.
 The meeting of these reconnoitering parties in force has resulted in some rather severe fighting, in which, ac- cording to the French and Belgian of- ficial accounts, the allies scored sue cesses.
 The other side of the story Is still to be fold. for Berlin remains silent. In fact the German war office has had little to say since it reported the cap ture of the city of Liege. The position around that fortress Is yelled in some thing of mystery. The Germans have resumed their attacks. on the forts, but how they are progressing has not been ( n n ha fqfda tuo
 Brussels had report tonight that the forts had succeeded in silencing all the big German guns. but this is given little credence Ii may be that, for the moment, the invaders have stopped their onslaught, either to rest or to adopt some new means of gaining tho object.
 Lorraine, for the presnet seems to have been left out of the fighting, while Alsaec, like western France, Is the scene of engagements between the advance guards of the main German and French army.
 The Austrian army has commenced to move on Russian Poland No news has come from the Russo German from tier. but much the same is going on there as in the other theatres of war. The Russian and German cavalry are busy trying to discover what the main armies are doing
 The British navy now virtually has Austrian ships or has, at least, got Austrian ships, or has, at least. got them so closely watched that the ad- miralty advises ship owners to send out their vessels as usual ships from all parts of the world arrived at Eng fish ports today and what Is more im- portant, steamers with provisions are coming from Scandinavian ports.

ENGLISH CRUISER CLAIMS VICTORY
 IN FIRST SINGLE
 BATTLE 0F THE WAR
German Cruiser Is Put to Flight By Smallest Battler of English Fleet-Long Range Duel

Halifax, N. S., August 13.- For half an hour last Thursday night H. M. $. Bristol, the
 smallest British warship in the
 north Atlantic, fought a long range duel with the Karsruhe, the largest and fastest of the German cruisers which have
 been trying to intercept Brit ish shipping on the north At lantlc.
 Fleeing from the British cruiser Suf- folk, which interrupted the Karlsruhe coaling at sea from the North German Lloyd steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm, the German cruiser was intercepted at night by the Bristol southwest of Ber-
 muda and for half an hour long
 range running fight took place in the darkness.
 Conditions for accurate gunnery were so unfavorable the vessels
 broadsides did little damage. Although the Bristols consorts were at least 100
 miles astern,, the German would not
 stand and fight, according to the Brit ish participants, drawing away from the Bristol and after half an hour was
 out of range, making off south to- ward San Juan, where he put in for coal some days ago.
 DETAILS OF
 FIGHT GIVEN
 Details of this action the first single ship fight in which British warship has engaged in these waters in hun dred years were brought to Halifax today by H. M. s. Suffolk, the flagship of Rear Admiral Cradock, commanding the fourth cruiser squadron. "We were steaming north Thursday morning last and the crew had Jus, been ordered to general stations when from the foremast head came the hail Enemy on the port bow" said the 1 flag captain of the Suffolk in an of ficial statement today.

PERFUMES POPULAR
GIFT, DESPITE TAX
Dealers Sell Hundreds of Boaes to
Christmas Shoppers; Foreign
Supply Nearly Gone

The demand for perfume and
sachet has not decreased since the
war tax was ylaced on this line of
goods. The Christmas shopper need
not worry about the imported lines be-
cause France is still sending sutfi-
cient supply to the New York import
ers for distribution over the United
States. The American firms, however,
are responsible for the pretty and at
tractive bottles that contain the ounce
of fragrance distilled in Europe.
The foreign supply is not expected
to last over the holidays and this Will
give the American manufacturers an
increase in business. Many OF these
firms are busy now getting ready to
supply any demand for their per-
fumes.
Among the many beautiful ways in
which these luXuries are sealed for
delivery are the quantity shaped vases
impressed with holly and mistietoe
decoration. clouded jars, which break
up the color of the perfume into a
dozen shades. and silver shoppers
which give the last touch of elegance
TO the interesting Christmas displays
Lavender and rose leaves in chiffon
bags strapped to ivory figures also are
from France.
Each article bears the revenue
stamp which marks il as n luxury the
tax varying from / u cents for small
and inexpensive packets of sachet or
bottles of perfume, to II cents for the
imported and rare bottle sold at 81.

ELECTRICITY IN HOTELS.
Use Fluid For Elevator. Lighting and
Cooking, Heating Services in
HOStelPieS.


Hotel service would be vastly diff
erent from what it is without elect
ricity. One large New York hotel is
equipped with 1900 small motors
which are used throughout the build
done by servants This number Is
exclusive of the 1000 small motors
used to drive ceiling, desk ant bracket
fans. The coal and ashes are con-
Veyed by electricity; II pumps the
water, drives complete machine and
repair shop. and the motor power is
extensively used in the kitchen for
pealing vegetables, choppping meat
for vegetable mashing, for soup strain
( ing and mixing, for turning roasting
spits, for dough mixing. for ice cream
freezing, for crumbling bread for
grinding coffee, for polishing silver
and for dish washing. Motors also
operate the machinery in the laundry,
and convey the food from kitchen to
serving rooms. Even the heating sps-
tenn is operated by motors which circu-
late the warmed air to all parts of the
building.
The main use of electricity in hotels
is for illumination. Electricity is also
and cooking in hotels few hotels
and large restaurants are now equip
ped with complete electric kitchens
where all the cooking is done by cleo
tricity. A number of heating and
cooking devices, such as electric
toasters, percolators, grills, etc, are
extensively used in most hotel kitch-
ems as auXiliaries to the gas and coal
ranges.

EAT SALMON AND
LOWER EXPENSES
Bureau Of Fisheries In BuIIe-
tin Tells of Advantages.

Washington.-The bureau of fisheries
has issued a bulletin to show folks
how to smite the high cost of living by
eating less meat and more salmon.
Statistics are presented to show that
one can buy more bone, muscle, blood
and brain building material for less
money by purchasing salmon than by
purchasing most forms Of meat,
One pound Of canned red salmon, ac-
cording to the bureau of fisheries, will
cost, if of the best quality, about IS
cents. The same quantity of nutri.
ment in the form of strictly fresh eggs
would cost SO cents; steak. 33 cents;
mutton, 80 cents; chicken, 211a cents;
smoked ham. 1874 cents; pink salmon,
1872 cents.
The best grades of canned salmon,
the bureau Of fisheries finds. are richer
than meats in body building materials
and contain about the same amount of
fats. Pink salmon, which is cheaper
grade, is better than meats for making
flesh and bone, but has less fat.
EITHER is as digestible as the best
sirloin steak. there is no waste, and
nothing has to be thrown away except
the can" says the bureau.
ITO reduce the cost of living eat
more salmon. especially of the cheaper
grades. and less meat Meats spoil
quickly in the home. Canned salmon
will keep Indefinitely if un0nened
