London.-Sir Edward Grey. the
British Minister for Foreign Affairs,
gave out the following statement.
Il have been asked to send mes
sage to the United States of America

The reasons which led Great Britain
to declare war and the ideals for
which she is fighting have been fire.

and enduring peace based on liberty

CALLS FRANCE STRONGER.

Paris.-A year OF war finds France
is ut to continue the struggle to the
end and confident of the outcome"
says Count Adrien Lannes de Monte
bello in review of the first u months
of hostilities:
Germany threw against Belgium
and France 50 army corps. Under the
impact of the German advance the
French armies, with their British
allies, suffered initial reverses and
great losses. While the French armies
were in retreat national ministry
was formed and the civil population of
France organized for war. The
French and British armies stood on
the line of the Marine They received
the shock of more than 100000 Ger
man troops and defeated them. The
Germans were Quilted and outfought in
vast general action over line of
more than 100 miles. The French
troops were too exhausted by their
Is days of marching and lighting to
make their victory decisive.
simultaneous with the battle OF
the Marine the German Crown Prince,
marching on Verdun, and the Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, march
ing on Nancy, both were defeated in
some of the bloodiest engagements of
the entire war.
"The German forces had penetrated
Is or Is miles. They were not only
driven out before the first of Novem-
Der. but since then the French have
invaded Upper Alsace of which they
now hold a considerable part.
I'VE have not only carried on the
war with success during the year, but
we have accumulated immense re-
serves of every necessity for continu-
ing the war until it has been won. Our
reserve troops in depots and under
training are relatively greater than
those of the Germans"

THE LEELANAW
DID TRY TO ESCAPE
But Captain Stopped When
Warning Shots Came.
HER CASE LIKE THE FRYE'S
Captain Of the LeeIanaw Declares He
and His Men Were Well Treat
ed and He Makes No
Complaint.

Washington.-With the receipt of q
practically complete report of the tor
pedoing of the American steamer Lee
lanaw by German submarine, State
Department officials began the prep
aration of a note to Germany request
ing the payment of damages, on the
ground that the Prussian-American
treaty of 1928 had been violated.
A report from American Consul
Dennison, at Dundee, Scotland,
brought to light the fact that the cap
tain of the Leelanaw attempted to
escape, but submitted to visit and
search after warning shots were fred.
The right to escape, officials declared,
is conceded by International law, only
repeated attempts to evade capture or
forcible resistance being regarded as
affecting the case.
Unofficial reports that the German
submarine commander was unwilling
to jettison the cargo of the Leelanaw
and to allow her to proceed as the
treaty of 1928 provides, cleared up
doubts here on this point. The ma
terial necessary for the presentation of
a claim similar to that made in the
case of the William P. Frye was there
fore practically ready.
The complete report of Consul Den
nison was as follows:
"Leelanaw's crew here. All safe.

under oath states sighted German sub
marine July 25, so miles north of
Orkneys. Endeavored to escape. Fired

PREPARES FOR WINTER WAR.
General Joffre Plans To Wear Down
Germans BY Attrition.

Paris-France is fully prepared for
winter campaign. 1t is understood
General Joffre is unwilling to force
decisive battle on the ground that Ger
many must give way under long
drawn-out pressure. and by such
tactics he can save France thousands
of men. He is said to be an exponent
of defeating Germany by attrition, no
matter how long it takes, France and
her Allies being in better position to
play waiting game than the Central
European Powers.
Unless Germany strikes a decisive
blow this summer, which captured
prisoners say she will endeavor to do,
in three months she will be on the

French authorities, but to the cap.

uniforms and other winter equipment
French public opinion is beginning to
accustom itself to the idea of another
winter in the trenches and some IS
months more OF war Although Joffre
is criticized not infrequently for not
hurrying matters more. some of his
leading generals are known to stand
with him on the policy Of conserving
the army so as to have large and
aforementioned force when the other
side is thinned out and groggy.

TWO AMERICANS KILLED.
Shot BY Shippers At Port Au Prince In
Night Attack.

Washington-Two American sailors
have been killed by snipers at Port au
Prince, Haiti. Announcement to this
effect was made by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, following the receipt of
a cablegram from Rear Admiral Cap
erton. in command of the naval forces
which took over the military control
of the city following the attack on the
French Legation and the killing of
President Guillaume. of Haiti.
simultaneously with this announce
ment, Secretary Daniels issued orders
to the battleship Connecticut, at
Philadelphia, to get under way at
once with force Of 500 marines
These reinforcements will give Ad-
miral Caperton a shore force of ap-
proximately 1000 men, which, he has
indicated, will be sufficiet to control
the city until order is restored.

The dykes they erected in anticipa
ton that We once more should have
to defend that which We gained in

the worlds history.
After unexampled proofs of per

German people, faithfully preserving
the publication acquired through war
will vigorously proceed on the tried
old ways and confidently enter the

RUSSIA TO FIGHT.

Petrograd. - The following state
ment concerning the conclusion of the
first year of the war was prepared by
NJ Polivanof, Russian Minister of
War:
my opinion, in few words, after
one years duration of this war, IN
precedented in the worlds annals, is
as follows:
THE enemy is strong and cruel. and
that is the very reason why Russia
and her heroic allies must continue
the war-should it last for several
years--until the enemy is completely
crushed"

FIFTY MILLIONS
A DAY FOR WAR
Startling Review From Finan-
Cial Standpoint
EFFECT ON WARNING NATIONS
The National City Bank, Which Issues
the Review, Sees In the War
the Need Of Greater
Economy Here.

New York.-How the world stands
from financial viewpoint after a year
of war is ably set forth in review
issued by the National City Bank:
The war expenditures have equalled
the most extravagant predictions, :"
says the review, 1.-The fighting has been
continuous and the casualties appall-
ing, but the results signify practically
nothing as to when the conflict will
end. There are no signs that either
side is running out of men or money,
or that the people of any Of the war
ring countries are weakening in reso-
luton or confidence"
The review continues:
The developments of the war it
self have shown the futility of annex
ing hostile populations; they cannot
be dispossessed of the territory or
compelled to be loyal citizens. and
while they swell the volume of do
mestic trade and pay taxes, they cost
at least as much as they contribute.
IF all the responsible ministries had
known as much a year ago as they
know now it is safe 10 say that the
peace would not have broken, and if
they could know now as much as they
will year hence it is probable that
peace conference would not be long
deferred. II is safe to say that the
national debts, which must be earned
by taxation, have more than doubled
Accepting as a fact that Great
Britain's cash expenditures, recently
stated to be $15.000,000 a day, are
larger than those of any other country
the review says:
The expenditures of the German
government are probable next to those
of Great Britain. The government
has realized $3,490000,0O0 by means
Of two loans, which it is understood
will carry the war into the coming
fall, but as its expenditures have been
growing it is probable that they are
now as much as S10,000,000 per day.
Altogether the estimate of $4,000, 900
per day for the OUTLAWS of all the gov
6InHltulS Is Sctll llOl W DS
THE London Economist gives the
rate of daily pay for private soldier
as one shilling two pence for Great
Britain, one-half pence for France and
two and one-half pence for Germany"
Summing up the wars effect upon
the worlds commerce the review esti-
mates the total efficiency at about rs
per cent. of normal About 100000
tons of shipping have been destroyed.
Although this is only per cent. OF
the total the entire loss 20 CONNER
cial service, including ships interned
and Communicated for wal service, is
approximately Is per cent.
Great Britain, under the circum-
stances, has maintained her foreign
trade very well. Her exports of do
nestle production in the month of
June amounted to $166,000,0 600, which
compares with S199, 100000 in June,
1914, or falling off of about 1871 per
cent.
The war is teaching the people of
Europe economy The most import
ant lesson for this country which the
National City Bank sees i'll the war is
the need of greater economy here.
