New Market For
 Alaska Fish

The Alaska Cooperative Fish Company has contracted with the American Fish & Oyster Co.,, oi San Francisco, 10 ship one ton of fresh fish every week. The first shipment was made on Jan. ?, ard was received at Frisco m first class condition. Manager McGehee says that this Is merely a starter, the Frisco people are only feeling for our fish now and as soon as they learn that We have the goods there will be a great increase in the ship ments. These fish will be sold below as Alaska fish, not as Col umbia River salmon. The great trouble heretofore was that Alaska fish lost their idenity as soon as they landed at Puget Sound Ports, and what was shipped to German markets were recognized as Col umbia River fish: hence we have lost all credit for the grade of salmon that we have produced from our neIghboring waters. This new enterprise is to be com plimented upon what they have al- ready accomplished, and we look forward to great things from them.

General Engagement Around Namur.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-G2:34 p. m. }
A Brussels dispatch to the Ex-

general engagement has occurred in
the neighborhood Of and southwark
OF Namur, as far as Dinant, fifteen
miles away.
The French troops. according to
the dispatch, have assumed the Of

mans.
An account OF the fighting south
of Namur, given in the Sunday
Times dispatch. says German cavalry
occupied a portion of the town OF
Dinant, on the left bank of the
Meuse, fifteen miles south Of Ma
muir. French infantry coming from
the north, however, drove them out
of the town. The fight was princi-
pally an artillery affair. The French
gradually drove the Germans back
until late in the afternoon they were
about ten miles south of Dinant,
pursued by mounted rifles and in
fantry.
An official announcement by the
French war office says the French
troops took over 500 German pris-

DOUBLE QUICK ATTACK FAILED
Paris War office Says Russian
HOrdes VIII Re Able to Oper-

Allies

PARIS, Aug. 16.-The conditions
under which the great battle between
the Germans and the allied forces
probably will be fought are made
the subject of an official communica-
tion issued by the French minister of
war this afternoon. By its develop
ment and the nature OF the ground
over which the battle will be waged,
the communication says, this vast en-
gagement will differ profoundly from
the battles of other times.
by reason of the abandonment OF
the attack which the Germans
planned against Nancy. says the
communication, "our concentration
has been carried out with regularity
and It is entirely thorough. The
whole Of the French army with the
whole of the German forces, with the
exception of those German troops
concentrated on the eastern frontier
OF the empire, will take part.
THE violation of the neutrality OF
Belgium has extended the Belgian
and French lines to the frontier OF
Holland. The next battle, there
fore, will be from Basle to Mas
tricht, with several millions Of men
on each side.
1T is this enormous extension of
effectives on the front, which will
characterize the battle and 1t will be
profoundly different from all other
battles.
The Battle Line.
when two adversaries engage in
battle along a front of from twenty
to thirty kilometers (13 to 20 miles,,
the engagement is characterized by
two features. 1t is rapid and imme-
diately decisive. With a front extend
ing over 400 kilometers (266 miles),
1t is not likely to be the same.
"It would appear impossible, from
all the evidence, that one of the ad-
Versaries would be able to gain de-
cisiye advantage upon this front of
400 kilometers. The operations
along so great a line would have
varying fortunes. We will have an
advantage at one or several points.
The Germans will have an advantage
at other points and the line OF battle
will continue to be modified until
one of the adversaries succeeds by
coordination of movement and
mass of effort in gaining some point,
the superiority of which will dis
lodge the adverse front and mark
the end Of the first battle.
These observations have for their
object the preparation of the public
