LONDON, Aug. 7.-(Special CLblegram
to the New York World and Omaha Beef
Military operations or preparations
through Europe are being carr cd on be-
hind an impenetrable veil of censorship.
There has bee.n~-no telegraphic communi-
cation between England and Germany for
the last week. Only news from Berlin
was received until then. 1t came via
Washington or was brought by refugees
The cutting OF the German-American
cable destroyed the former source Of in
formation.
Dispatches have been brought to the
Dutch or Danish frontiers and iiled there
but the censors will allow nothing of
vital interest to go through. Telegrams
from France to Britain are liable to in
definite delay. They must be written in
French and are severity censored even
when in plain language. kilograms the
meaning Of which are not quite clear
to the censor are being stopped.
There is occasional communities ton with
Italy from here under the same condl-
tions, but kilograms take from twelve
to forty-eight hours to get through.
With regard 20 Switzerland, the same
conditions prevail as with Italy. the CEN
sorship in both cases being doubled, be-
cause dispatches have to run the gaunt-
let Of the French censor in addition to
the censor of the country OF origin.
Gables to Russia are still open, but st.
Petersburg. which was slow in putting
the censorship in motion, now has estab-
lished it, and IT is almost impossible TO
get through press dispatches, except
those filed by Russla's official agency.
The London papers all have reduced In
size. The Daily Mail, instead of running
from twelve to sixteen pages daily, is
printing six pages. The Times has re-
duced to twelve of its small eix-column
pages.
The Telegraph, which recently was
printing up to twenty-five pages, now
also is twelve pages. Advertising has al
most disappeared from their pages. The
quality of print paper used seems also
to have changed. The evening papers
contain practically nothing but war news
and rumors and their war specials are
sent out on single six-column sheets.
Owing to the difficulty, IL not COM
plete impossibilty Of getting war photo
graphs. the illustrated papers will be
severely hit, for the circulation of the
daily papers will be increased Icy ond ali
records.

Other candidates were called upon
promiscuously as long as they lasted on
the platform. Among them were cam
didates for attorney general, for the state
senate. and Or. A. O. Thomas and r. l.
Elliott. both candidates for the office OF
state superintendent OF public instruction.
The Crowd Eats.
The crowd gradually shifted to the bar
becue, and began to munich beef sand
witches. until by the time the speaking
was over. nearly everyone had sand
witch in one hand and a cup of buter-
milk in the other.
A fife and drum corps marched through
the park and about the streets playing
patriotic music. A band began to play
dance music and the dancing began in the
middle of the afternoon. A big dan
cling platform was erected, and dancing
continued into the night
The crowd, men, women and children
was variously estimated from 5000 to $500.

French Say Posters
Prove that Kaiser
Premeditated War

PARIS, Aug. SAN official statement,
issued today, say that German mobiliza-
ton posters placed on all towns of Vic
and Moyenvic. in Alsace-Lorraine, prove
the French contention that the war was
premeditated on the part of Germany.
The towns were occupied by the French
yesterday and, according to the statement,
the posters which they found afforded
them valuable information concerning
Germany's mobilization, besides reveal
ing that Germany had decided upon war
at the time the triple entente was redoub-
ling its efforts for peace
BERLIN, Aug. S.-(Via Amsterdam and
London.) The German newspapers COM
plain about the diplomatic meaneuvers
carried out to make Germany appear the
disturber of the peace. They maintain
that it was Russia that pushed Germany
TO war.
II is reported here that the Germans in
France who We're unable to leave within
the time limit are being sent to western
France and compelled to help with the
harvest. They add that German women
in Russia are being expelled, while the
men have been thrown into prison.
Matthias Ersberger, leader of the cler-
ical party in the Imperial Parliament and
chairman of the arms committee. states
that the German army and navy are both
splendidly equipped. while the German
rifles and cannon are superior to those
of the adversaries. He declares Ger

forces.

British Optimistic
About Food Supply

LONDON. Aug. III d. Broadbank
representative of the Board OF Trade in
port affairs, is optimistic regarding the
food supply. nj an interview he said
IAN British ports and especially Lon
don, are bound to have large access
sion Of business, since most of the con-
tlnental ports are no longer open. Ships
which ordinarily carry cargoes partly for
London and partly for Antwerp and
Hamburg are already discharging their
cargoes here. There are eight ships
waiting at Gravesend which were des-
tined originally for continental ports, but
now are ordered to discharge here.
There is now at sea large tonnage of
shipping laden with foodstuffs consigned
to Hamburg and Bremen. These car
goes will be diverted to London or other
British ports All this indicates a con-
tinuance of sufficient supplies so long
as the war lasts and our navy commands
the seas"
PARIS, Aug, 7-(5:5O p. m.)-The gov
eminent in appointing a commission to
consider the food supply, sanitation, or
ganization Of employment bureaus and
other kindred subjects that may arise, is
arranging for the country to have the
service OF a number of the most dis
tlnguished public men In France who
cannot be taken into the cabinet. Among
them are Alexandra Ribot, Leon Bour-
geois. Theophile Del Case, Alexandra
Millerand and Camille Pelletan.
