Now Out Of Debt ills
Declared

San Francisco, Sept. with former
President William H. Taft in the role
of "Chief Burnee," the ceremonies of
consigning to the flames on Friday
night the paid-off mortgage of $l10,-
1902, the last cent of Indebtedness of
the Panama. Pacific exposition, will be
the most spectacular and impressive yet
staged at the big fair.
The Court of the Universe, where the
mortgage burning will take place, will
be shrouded in darkness when the cere-
monies begin, with President Moore of
the exposition standing beside the huge
pyre, brought into the startling relief
by the glare of monster searchligat.
Moore will briefly outline the his
tory of the exposition at the conclusion
of which he will hand to James j. Fa-
gan, representing the San Francisco
clearing holse, check for $40, 1909.
Pagan in return will give to Moore the
cancelled mortgage, which will then be
handed to the former president.
Placing one corner of the mortgage
to the blazing pyre, Taft will wave
the flaming paper alOft, signal which
will release o veritable bedlam of noise
throughout the exposition. The ashes
will then be placed in an urn which
Aviator Charlie Niles will take aloft
in his monoplane and scatter to the
winds. Niles flight will conclude the
official cremation ceremonies and will
usher in the carnival which is expected
to bring to the exposition the greatest
evening throng in its history.

Sept. 1.-Since the beginning of the
Tepton drive in the east an entire Rus
sian field army of 100000 men have

1t was estimated that 100000 Rus

remaining 100000 are now held as
prisoners.
The review covered the German oper
ations from the capture Of Gorice VI
to the present time.
In addition to the enormous Russian
losses, the Teutonic allies are declared
to have captured $500 cannon and ma
chine guns.
"The actual figures may be higher
because the enemy saved his artillery
by sacrificing infantry" the review
said. Gas q result the armies first en-
countered at the beginning OF our of

heavy losses.
Beginning yesterday morning German
artillery shelled the siopes held by the
French for hours, the communicate
stated.
Gas bombs were then hurled against
the French lines and German infantry
charged forward. Chausseurs, protected
by respirators against the poisonous
gases, met the onrushing Teutons with
bayonets and knives and drove them
back from the parapets. Heavy losses
were suffered by the Germans, who
were forced to withdraw.
A second charge was made last night,
but was also repulsed, it was stated.
Elsewhere no important infantry en-
gagements have been reported during
the past "a hours. At points around
Arras, heavy artillery exchanges were
in progress during the night.
