GERMANS REPORT CAPTURE OF 3O,OOO RUSSIANS
GERMANS TAKE OFFENSIVE
 AGAINST THE RUSSIANS
PEOPLE FLEE FROM PARIS

PARIS Aug. 31.-ThOuSandS and thousands of people are now fleeing from the city of Paris having given up hope that the Germans be stayed and having come to the conclusion that within few weeks the beautiful cap tai of France will be surrounded by the hated and dreaded enemy.
 Today the streets of the city that lead to the railroad depOtS present the most extraordinary sights that were ever presented the eyes of people at Long lines of people are stretched along those streets waiting their turn to get tickets that will enable them to take the trains from the city which they believe doomed to fall into the hands of the enemy after period of bOOdShed and star yatiOn the like of which has been witnessed the earth Blocks and blocks of the streets are lined with an eager. haSy multitude. The ticket offices were closed all day today making preparations for the expected avail anChe of people but they will open tomorrow. Early this morning it was announced that tickets would be sold to- morrow and from daybreak the people began to gather and will remain in line for wentyfOu hours and much longer. All the trains were filled today that more people could be carried Whole families have taken their positions in the lines of waiting thousands and eating cold bites and sleeping on the hard payementS
 Among them women and children and the sight IS enough to break the heart So moved have the French become by the distress of their people fleeing from the powerful enemy that desperate effort will probably be vet made to stay the onward course of the invaders
 Most of the people waiting in line carry only hand bags in which are few poor little neceSSareS for the journey into strange parts of France and never has the gO iOuS republic and empire sight more touching and hunriiiatng
 The government has, however, more than cOndOned this flight of the people from the capital the expected siege be sustained all the longer the lesser the mouths there are to feed.

TOOK 3O,OOO RUSSIANS SAY GERMANS

BERLIN, Aug. 31.-The German government issued an official statement today which stated that far from the Russians making any further progress in East Prussia the German armies there have captured no less than thirty thousand Russians and have turned the tide entire y favor of this nation The statement contains the an nOuncemen that the Germans had to charge the Russians across SwampS and actually lake itself but that in spite of these awful impedmentS the German troops had very little difficulty in smashing the invaders. Par tcuary in the neighbOrhOOds of Ortesburg HOensein and Tannenburg the Russians received terrible thrash ing according to the government official reports Most of the thirty thousand prisoners said to have been taken near those places
 This news has relieved the minds of the people of Der
 lin of tremendous load of anxiety They had feared that German arms would be overwhelmed by the weight of Russian numbers while the flower of the army engag ed in the west but the capture of such tremendous bers of the enemy has created the belief that the task of smashing the invaders comparatively light to the troops of the kaiser It has also given rise to the belief here that the Russian troops have heart for the work and that they only too willing to get out of the fight Spg. And meanwhile Berlin has gone wilder than ever tith the joy and glory of triumph.

CHINESE LEFT
 AT NUSHAGAK
SEVENTY MEN LEFT WITHOUT PROVISIONS AND IN DANGER
 OF STARVING

VALDEZ, Aug. 29.-Seventy-eigh Chinese have been left stranded at Nushagak and are in serious danger of starving unless aid is sent immedi- ately. The men were employed by Petersen's cannery during the past summer but when the time came to take them out they refused to go on the cannery boat because they believ- d that it was not properly provision ed or supplied with water The ships sailed without them and left them standing on the beach without pro- visions or anything else to sustain life. There were no provisions left at the station so that the men will prob ably starve unless succor comes quickly.
 The United States marshal has or dered aG ;pveStigation into the affair and may order the cannerymen ar rested NJ steps have been taken yet to rescue the Chinamen but something will probably be done soon if possi hle

SUNRISE AND
 HOPE BOOMING
EVERYONE UP THERE IS DOING SPLENDIDLY THIS SEASON
 MRS. WHITE SAYS

That all the mining people around Hope and Sunrise and those sections generally are doing better than ever this season is the pleasant news brought to the city by Mrs. Martha White who has come here for busi ness visit.
 The coming of Mrs. White is an ,vent in itself as it reminds oldtimerS of the fact that she is the real lady pioneer of Cooks Inlet as well as lady who has remained with the coun- try and proved more than all the gov ernment officials on earth that Alaska is a land in which families receive all that goes to make families worth rearing
 Mrs. Whites daughter Miss Babe White, is one of the most popular and cultured ladies in Alaska and she was born on the Shewitna river Cooks In- let.
 She is the first child of Mrs. White so that the whole family is truly Alaskan. Mrs. White is the holder of extensive and valuable properties around Hope and Sunrise and also conducts roadhouse at the former place.
 She is really enthusiastic over the prospects in those districts. She says they never looked so well and the peo- pie never did better.
 Gus Seiffert has purchased the Knight property adjoining him on Resurrection creek for $19,000 and is doing splendidly. The Matthieson mining company has also had most successful season while the same is true of Collins, Allison and Farrand.
 Lots of prospecting is being accom- pliShed on the upper end of Ressur- rection creek. Major French and Charles F.. Heron have sunk four or five holes already with their drill. Colonel Sapp is working on Buzzard's property and several others are busy in all directions.

LAPS START GOING

PEKIN, Aug. 31.-The Japanese occupied Tachien, small island outside Kiauchau today and from that place will probably start their attack.
 Nothing is known about the intentions of the be- siegers and the German garrison cut off from cOmmun- cation so that nothing can be heard from it. The con- mander of the garrison has maintained the con- emptuous attitude which his government seemed to have taken up in dealing with the Oriental power that declared war on it. The Japanese evidently moving very tiousIy and there is hurry necessary the Germans cannot of cOurse bring up any forces for the relief of the place.
 It is assumed that the German commander has recev- ed instructions to hold out at least long enough to ma tain the honor of German arms but that he hardly hope to stand off the overwhelming forces sent against him very long fact that is generally accepted in this city

AUSTRIANS WHIP RUSSIANS

BERLIN Aug. 31-The Austrian government has made an official announcement to the effect that after battle lasting several days the Austrans have declsvey defeated the Russians and driven them in the direction o LubIin in Russian Poland This official statement has to come through Berlin Austria has no direct cOmmunIca- tiOn with the outside world
 The battle took place krasnik and was Tn pro- gress all the time that contradictory reports were being sent out by the different sides The Austrans have also advanced into the territory of the enemy near the river Bug and are marching through Poland to aid in the attack of the other Austrian forces strong Austrian force has taken up its position in front of Cracow and that city will be the base for movement in force against the Russian left wing Parts of the Austrian army which had been attacked by the Russians to the northeast and south west of Lemberg Galcia have been able to hold their own but the official Austrian statement does not say that the Russians have been beaten there exactly The Aus Russian battle lines face each other for distance ot 45O miles on the northeast frontier of Austria.
 Proof that the Ausrians beat the Russians IS be- ing awaited here with almost greater anxiety than Ger
 man victory because the people of Germany have come to the conclusion that if Austria can hold the armies 0f the czar the German troops handle the allies m the west and the Russians in East Prussia Indeed the ability Of Austria to hold Russia would be taken here nfa
 e sign of the ultimate victory of the TeuOnc powers is expected in German circles that Austria in the south and Germany in the north take the Russians between them in Poland and smash them when the time comes.

BY OIL

Opinion in Europe which holds that the trouble in Mexico is
appears only as a partisan, is not abreast OF the times.
There is reason to believe, spite OF present denlals, that the
Madero revolt "a aided by The Watcrs-T Pierce Oil company. 1t IS
equally certain that Porhrio Diaz, who a exiled by Madero, in 1911.
was the faithful servant of the Pearsons of England, likewise oil
Plain IS a pikestah also is the fact that the counterrevoluuon of
Felix Daz and lluerta, eliminating in murder and usurpatlOn nearly
a year ago, was engineered by the Pearsons
What Europe overlooks in this case is the fact that the antgo-
nisn Of the United States to Iuerta does no necessarily involve
championship Of Waters Pierce and Standard Oil. The essence of
these successors of the ancient freebooters. He has decreed their
separation from government Oh this continent.
1t is not many years since enlightened nations ceased discussing
the horrors of the slave trade; yet at its worst that traffic wa hardly
more of a scourge o mankind than the vars that have been fomentei
and waged in the name of commerce.. On this hemisphere it is not
the aggression OF nations and dynastes that is to be feared. The
enemies Of peace, liberty and stability are the syndicates without
conscience and without compassion which promote strife for gan.
We have see what asphalt did for Venezula; there is no ques-
ton as TO what oil and mining have done for Mexico, and exploita-
ton has been in progress in many other countries To all OF these
marauders, American a well as European, President Wilson gaze
solemn warning in his Mobile speech The concession idea is at an
end. Nations are ne longer to be drenched in blood, devastated and
loaded with debt to enrich syndicates and monopohes, n matter how
rich Or powerful they may be.
Those who do not understand this phase of the Mexican situation
and the relations OF the United States thereto are painfully misin-
formed rs to the merits of the case-New York World.
