LONDON, Aug. 22.-Advices re- ceived here during the past "A hours indicate that huge battle between the combined Austro-German forces and the army of the Czar which re tired from Warsaw, is now in pro gress on the Bohen river, tributary of the Bug river The battle is being fought for the possession of Brest Litovsk, town about 100 miles southeast of Warsaw. in Rus sia proper.
 The determined stand of the Rus sians in this section was very un- expected, as the German drive has carried all before it despite much resistance. The Austro-German forces under General von Gallwitz, are reported as having occupied the town of Briesk, on the Biala river. The Russians are also said to have abandoned their line of battle along the Jessia river.

GRIEViNG BELGIANS ARE ARRESTED.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-Because they spent the day in mourning as a way of celebrating the anniversary of the entrance of the Germans into their city, more than DO of the most prominent people ot the city of Brussels were arrested yesterday by the German provost marshals, ac- cording to reports received here. It is stated that the Belgian city as a whole spent the day in grieviDg. but that only the most prominent of the disturbers, according to the Ger man idea, were arrested.
 The report states that no arrests were made by the Germans because of disorders of any kind, as there were none. The people congresated in places of worship and in public halls, where prayers were offered for the safety of the sons of Belgium now on the battlefield. None of them were vehement in their nature, but their tone was offensive to the Germans.

NEUTRALITY OF DENMARK VIOLATED.

LONDON, Aug. PA report re- ceived here last night is to the eff feet that the British submarine U-12 has been destroyed by the Germans on the coast of Denmark It is un- derStood that she was attacked by the Germans after she was aground and helpless. Two German subma- rines were engaged in the attack. No official report has yet been re- ceiyed here concerning the battle of the underwater boats, but it is unofficially stated that one of the German submarines fired the de- stroying torpedo after the British boat was caught in such position that she was unable to help herself.
 The British press today is loud in it's denunciation of the method em- ployed by the Germans in destroying the British boat when she was prac- tically ready to surrender. They further agree that, as the boat was attacked within the three mile shore limit, the U-13 was on Danish ground when the attack was made, and that therefore the neutrality of Denmark has been violated.

ITALY WILL
 FIGHT THE TURK.

ROME, Aug. 22.-Announcement was made officially here this after noon, to the effect that the Italian government has declared war against Turkey. Two reasons are assigned for the declaration, one being that the Turks have repeatedly refused to let Italian reseryiSts leave that country, and the other, that the Turks have been interfering with Italian affairs in Northern Africa These reasons are considered sufficient ground for the declaration.
 Now that war has been declared, the government is preparing to send a fleet of fighting vessels to the assistance of the allied fleets in the Dardanelles, the squadron being al ready assembled at Toranto. It is believed that an army will also be raised to assist the allied forces in the capture of Constantinople when such move is decided upon.

Steamers Must
 Use City Docks

VALDEZ, Aug 22.-At it's meeting held the past week. the Valdez city council passed an ordinance prohib- iting the steamers of the several steamship companies which operate boats on the coast of Alaska, from using the Valdez dock The ordi- nance provides heavy penalty for those who seek to break its condi- tions.
 The ordinance leaves the steam ship companies nothing to do but to land their boats at the city dock. It was passed by the council in or der that the steamship companies might be forced to pay a tax, which they do not have to pay by landing at the Valdez dock.
 It Is understood that the transpor- tation companies will fight the issue brought up by the passage of the or dinance. It Is therefore probable that the matter will be brought up and settled at the next term of court.

FALL OF CITY IS I'M MIN ENT.

BERLIN, Aug. 22,-The fall of the city of Brest Litovsk, for the pos session of which a battle has been raging between the Austro German and Slav forces, is very imminent. says the bulletin issued from imperial headquarters this evening. Six Ger man armies are closing in on the stronghold. which, it is expected, will soon capitulate.
 The reports received here indicate that the battle for the possession of the Russian city has been one of the greatest of the war. It has been expected that the retreating Rus sians would make a stand at Brest Litovsk, as it is an important strate- gic point, by reason of the fact that it is on the direct line of railway communication between Warsaw and Moscow.

Are Reported for
 Toasting Germans

PORTLAND, Aug. 22-Be- cause they gave the toast, Deutschland Ueber Alles" in a local cafe here last night, at little party where they were guests, several American officers are to come under the investi- gating eye of Secretary of War Garrison.
 The conduct of the artillery men gave offenSe to number of the other patrons of the cafe and a row resulted. All of the officers were arrested, but were turned loose when their identity became known.
 However, that did not alter tho case against the soldiers when their offense became generally known. By giving the toast they had given Germany the highest honor in their power to deliver. But that was against the princi- ples of other guests at the party, and the row was the result.
 Charges against the offending soldiers were first presented to Senator Chamberlain. He listened to the complaints for a while, and then made investiga- tion of the case He now says that while he cannot see that the men were guilty of any great breach of army etiquette, their conduct was such as to invite investigation. He further says however, that he cannot do the investigating, and that all he can do is to refer the charges brought against the men to the secretary of war.

Gulf of Riga in order that the ships might be better protected from the attacks of German submarines, but the government bulletin states that although such an order was issued originally, other orders taking the larger battleships out of the gulf were issued about the time the Ger man land forces started their drive toward the city of Riga.
 The bulletin goes ahead to say that a few boats were left in the gulf by order of the war office, in order that the Germans might be led to believe that they had the en- tire Russian Baltic fleet in trap. It does not state where the larger part of the ships of the fleet now are, but it is believed tlat they have made another rendezvous in the Gulf of Finland.
 The announcement .oy the govern. ment that most or the ships of the Baltic fleet have escaped the Ger mans, is the occasion of much joy in this city, as the populace feels that it will now have some naval protection when the Germans at tempt to penetrate the Gulf of Fin land with their submarines. It is ad- mitted in war office circles that the Germans have been successful in their efforts to penetrate the Gulf of Riga
