SOCIALIST PREDICTS
VICTORY FOR ALLIES
War Has Passed Zenith, Dutch
Leader Tells international
Conference

THE HAGUE. Aug. 1.-The opening here
Of the international conference OF delegates
OF the Socialist parties of six neutral coun-
tries was marked by an address by the
Dutch leader, M. Toestra, who laid stress
on the disastrous consequences OF the war
In hampering social progress
Military successes. the speaker declared,
hitherto had been on the side of the Central
Powers. but it seemed that the zenith had
been passed and the superiority OF the Allies
In men and money was definitely coming
into play. The vital interests of all Social-
lists required them to ask whether the time
had not arrived for them to resume their
liberty OF action.
The speaker thought that no durable
peace was possible on the basis of the
present war map or the definite destruction
OF "Prussian militarism," but Socialists
must see that restoration of the inde-
pendence of Belgium and Poland and the
constitution of Democratic Balkan fedora
tion were made essential points OF any
peace program.
The question OF Alsace and Lorraine was
more difficult, the speaker said. and he
believed the Socialist parties of France
and Germany should aim at some such
compromise as had been suggested before
the war
Norris Hillquit. OF New York. inter-
national secretary OF the Socialist party
Of the United States. had been replaced
by Algernon Lee, OF New York
Mr.. Lee reached the conference some
time after the formal opening.

BERLIN EVADES CIVILIAN
RELIEF, BRITISH CHARGE
Confuses Issue on Feeding Peo-
pie in Invaded Territory,
Foreign Office Says

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Foreign Office
has made a statement in reply to a Berlin
dispatch of Sunday referring to the feed
ing of the civilian population in the foreign
territories occupied by the Germans. The
statement in part says:
ITO Judge from the message from Berlin,
the German Government is attempting to
escape from the clear Issue set before 1t
by the Allied Governments, by trying to
confuse together as many totally different
questions as possible.
I'm n communication, which has not been
published, the Allied governments recently
demanded that in northern France and in
the military zone of Belgium the German
Government should reserve the harvest for
the civil population This is' n separate
negotiation, on the same lines as that un-
dertaken a year ago with regard to last
years harvest in Belgium 1t is n negotia-
tion wholly distinct from the demand which
relates to the conditions upon which new
relief works can be started.
Next comes the question of the larger
part of Belgium under civil administra-
ton. This question is not the subject of
any particular dispute at the present mo-
ment, as the German Government was
forced last April to give binding guarantees
that no foodstuffs should be exported from
Belgium or used for the occupying army
This guarantee applies to the next har-
vest, and although, like all other German
guarantees. 1t is constantly being violated
by local German officials and soldiers. 1t
is a guarantee already given and which is
gradually being enforced by continual rep-
reservations from the relief commission.
What the Allied Governments will feel
Obliged to do IL the German Government
refuses to comply with the demands regard
ing the harvest in northern France and the
military zone of Belgium is question
which the German Government has no right
to ask. The demand made on it is a per-
fectly just one. 1t is hoped it will be sup
ported actively by neutral opinion, and II
the Germans refuse it they must face con-
sequences, which perhaps they do not ex-
pect and which they certainly will not like"

RUSSIAN MILITARY EXPERTS
EXPECT EARLY ABANDONMENT
OF TEUTON LINES AT KOVEL

PETROGRAD, August 1.-Russian mill
the latest official reports, point out that the
Austro- German forces defending the Kovel
Lemberg fronts are In grave danger of
being caught in a trap from which they
will be unable to extricate themselves. The
Austrians. they assert, have waited too
long to carry out an effective retreat, and
when their withdrawal from the points now
being defended begins the Russians will
be able to turn the retrograde movement
into rout.
This will leave, according to these ex-
perts, the right flank of General Won Lin
singer almost unprotected from the south,
and unless he evacuates Kovel before the
may be bottled up
The general opinion In Russian official
circles Is that Kovel will be evacuated,
though desperate resistance is expected.
with Kovel in their hands. the Russians
believe that Field Marshal Won HindenburR
will be compelled to abandon the Riga front
and that Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who is
north of the Pripet marshes, will have to
quilt his advanced lines.
1T Is inconceivable that the Teuton
armies in tho north should hold their posi-
tions when all the forces forming the right
of the line have been compelled to give
way" high military official said today.
mo one Is foolish enough to say that
our enemy Is beaten yet, but the pressure
is steadily becoming greater. The atti-
tude of the prisoners taken by us shows
that the German morale Is weakening"
Train after train of prisoners is coming
into Russia from the western front. They
are being brought back as rapidly as the
exigencies of active operations permit.

LONDON. Aug. 1.


A MESSAGE from Emperor Will
"A liam to the German Imperial
Chancellor, DR.: Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, on the second anniversary of
the war, transmitted by Reuters cor
respondent at Amsterdam, quotes the
Kaiser as follows:
"There are still hard times ahead.
After the terrible storm Of two years
of war the desire for sunshine and
peace is stirring all human hearts.
But the war continues because the
battlecry Of the enemy Governments
still is the destruction of Germany.
The blame for further bloodshed
falls only on our enemies. Germany
knows she is fighting for existence;
knows her strength and relies on
Gods help. Therefore, there is
nothing to shake our determination
or endurance"
In proclamation to the army and
navy the Kaiser says:
"The strength and will of the
enemy are not yet broken. We must
continue the severe struggle in order
to secure the safety of our beloved
homeland and preserve the honor of
the Fatherland and the greatness Of
the empire"

Eastern and Southeastern
Counties Of England OBJ
jects of Attack
LONDON, Aug. 1.

LONDON, Aug. l.
About 60 bombs were dropped by fleet
Of Zeppelin airships that raided the east
srn and southeastern counties of England
last night the War office announced today.
Six, possibly seven, zeppelins participated
IN the raid according to the War Office
statement, which follows:
Last night from 10 o'clock to mid
night the eastern and southeastern
counties were attacked by hostile air
ships. The raiders flew at great height
owing to this fact and patches of mists,
the alrships' movements were uncertain
and their number difficult to determine.
There were at least six ships, as
recloned by an Independent observer.
It Is probable that one more flew over
the country without dropping bombs.
The number of bombs was at first
greatly exaggerated, owing to the ma
jority falling in thnly inhabited dis
tricts and being heard for great dis
tance The actual number was found
to be about sixty
One raider, engaged by aircraft and
anti-aircraft guns, was seen to drop
to a low altitude and disappear in the
mist.
One of the Zeppelin airshps Is believed
to have been damaged by the heavy fire
directed upon it while homeward bound.
Latest reports on the raid show that the
Germans are using a new weapon in their
aerial warfare. This is an aerial torpedo.
Several weeks ago 1t was reported German
engineers had invented a new engine of
destruction to be used by the Zeppelin air
ships, but this was used for the first time
last night.
The Evening News states that the search
lights of town the southeast coast de-
tected the airshp while 1t sailed eastward
toward the sea from the interior of Eng
land. The British guns opened a heavy fire
upon the raider
AS shells burst all around the Zeppelin
At least one hit the mark which was clearly
visible under the glare of the searchlights.
The airship wobbled as it was struck by the
shell and the watchers below thought 1t
would fall. but instead it changed its course
and flew higher

ARIZONA CENTRAL IN
A SEVEN FOOT LEDGE
Especial Correspondence

OATMAN, Ariz., July ga new
sensation was sprung here today when
the Arizona Central cut the ledge in
the shaft at a depth of 240 feet.
This is the Charlie Knox property
that adjoins the United Eastern and
is looked upon as another United
Eastern. The ledge is feet wide from
wall to wall and the material secured
was mostly quartz with a mixture OF
some calcite. Your correspondent
learned that the values ran up to $3.50
per ton in gold.
This development cites the occur
renee of the United Eastern. In the
early struggle for recognition, George
Long and Jack McIver struck the ore
in the now famous United Eastern in
the shaft at a shallow depth. The val
ueS obtained were low, but it spurred
the boys on with the result that the
Eastern is now classed as one of the
big gold mines in the United States.
The Arizona Central management
hardly expected to tap the ledge at the
shallow depth Last week Knox. who
is operating the property in associ
alton with New York people was in
the camp and was highly pleased with
the development work going on. He
had no sooner left for his home in
Berkeley, Cal, than the Central hit the
ore.
w. H. Hart, who is in charge of the
work on the property is more thar
encouraged over the find and feels
that at depth the company will en-
counter the enrichment.
When he came in town today, he
was besieged on all sides as to the new
development. To all Inquiries he said

yourself"

500 foot level. before doing any latera
work. Stations will be cut at the 800
