ENORMOUS SHIPS ARE BEING BUILT
 BY TIE BRITISH
Construction of Craft for War Purposes
 Quietly Being
 Accomplished.
ALL CLASSES BUILT

!. LONDON. Sept. 4. - England is building warships of enormous size and of speed hitherto undreamed of; also large numbers of warships of all classes down to the submarine chasers" according to description by a war correspondent who has been allowed to see the work being done on the river Clyde. Ships are being built in record time.
 He says: q have just seen from the deck of a little tug that chugged down the river what a great builder who stood beside me described as the greatest scene of shipbuilding ac- tivity in the history of the world. For several miles on the narrow stream we passed what seemed al- most a solid wall of hulls towering above us on either side.
 "The ships are being built all along the banks on temporary stocks. so closely crowded together 1t might almost be said that in many parts of the river their number is limited only by the amount of waterfront available for launching.
 "The biggest ships on the Clyde are being constructed in a great part by women. If the war lasts for another IS months, the propor- tion of British warships to the Ger man, which before the war was two to one, may be more like four to one"

WHEAT BULLS ARE HAVING
 b NIGHTMARE
'Rumania'S Entry into the War May Hasten Day when Slay Crops
 VIII Pour out.
RUSSIA WILL UNLOAD


 NEW YORK. Sept. 2.-The break in the wheat markets the last three days is due almost entirely to Rou- mania's entry into the war This event hastens the day when Russia's wheat crops will once more be ex- ported to the worlds markets. The thought of this day has been a night mare 10 the wheat bulls of this con tinent Now 1t seems Co them as though this nightmare was about Co swoop down on them and bury them under an avalanche of Russian wheat. If 1t does, the discomfort of the speculators will conversely be to the advantage of the public in these days of high food prices.
 But the question now arises as to whether the Cars Empire will have such mountain Of wheat to export. Russia is one Of the greatest wheat producers Of the world The har- vests of 1915 and 1915 aggregated TSP OOO. .OOO bushels. The latest fi- gures give the reserve from these crops at S4O,OOO,OOO bushels. Russia has not the elevator facilities such IS North America enjoys.
 Meanwhile another harvest is rip aning. The normal average does not appear to have been seeded. An unofficial report says the weather has been favorable and the outlook good for crops But the most that can be said is that normal crop would overtop a safe maximum esti- mate. Also Poland's average crop of 24,OOO,OOO bushels must be counted out this year.
 With the rise in :he cost of meat it is fair to assume that the Rus sian people will consume more cer. calls. Then there must be consld- cred the tremendous wastage of grain through war, including the de- struction of standing crops, sinking of grain ships, etc.
 It is therefore quite possible that the Russian exportable surplus may not be so tremendous as the bear operators hope and the bull crowd fears.
 It must also be remembered that peace will bring other hungry na- tions into the field as heavy buyers. The Central Powers. according to a Dutch authority, will harvest S5 per cent. less than a normal wheat crop. Last years harvest was a calamity for Germany. When the hungry Teutons can get food in peace they will want to eat as they never ate before.
 Starving Poland also will require help from Russia. Belgium and Holland (great per capita consum- CTS of wheaD, will take more than now. The world harvest will prob lbly be 6OO.OOO,OOO bushels less than ast year. The big world surplus 50 often pointed to will not be in evidence, for this counterbalances my possible Russian surplus.

AUSTRIANS IN
 OPEN REVOLT
 WITH GERMANS
ReSenting High Handed Methods Being Used by General vOn
 MaCkenSen.
.Mo SECRET OF FEELING


 PETROGRAD. Sept. 4.-Among the one million prisoners taken by the Russians there are a number Of ot- icers who, were on the Austrian general staff. These men are indig nant at what they call the high handedness Of the Germans toward the Austrians and are not hiding their anu-German feelings. They willingly describe the feverish actiy' ity Of the Germans under Field Mar shal von Mackensen in defense of Kovel in Russian Poland and of the Carpathian Mountain positions that are threatened by Gen. Brusilon.
 Before Mackcnsen went to the Carpathians." says one of these wit nesses. i've held a council of war in Novel. at which a dramatic scene was enacted in the presence of nineteen German and Austrian generals. A special envoy from Em' peror William - Prince Leopold Of Bavaria handed Mackensen letter from the Kaiser. The field marshal received it standing. read it and then burned it. even stamping on the ashes
 Mackensen Keeps Quiet
 Prince Leopold and the generals all waited for his communication but Mackensen refused to say any thing. The Austrian generals, offend cd. wished to know what powers had been conferred upon him. since he acted thus. The German com mander retorted that their question was an improper one, and added:
 "'Field Marshal von Hindenbure and l have been sent with unlimited power to save you again.
 "Thereupon the Austrians retired Look at them. exclaimed the field marshal to the German generals as he pointed at the departing officers They are all Machiayells in war councils. but when it comes to action they have brains of straw and hands Of cotton and wool
 "In the Carpathians second war council was held by Field Marshal von Mackersen. where it is alleged that he acted like a dictator remov- ing and changing Austrian officers When they protested he informed them that Emperor William waged this war not for glory or to gain territory. but for the existence oi the Empire.
 "Alackensen made superhumm eff forts to save the Carpathians. In this work, he showed no pity. The male population of the Carpathiar slopes were removed and old women were left there to gather the har vest. Carts and horses were requi. sitioned. leaving only two horses for every 500 inhabitants. In the army new positions were assigned to var. lous units.
 Hungarians Sent Home
 The Hungarian cavalry which had protected the retreat of the Austrian army was sent into Hungary. There said the marshal, they will be heroic in defense of their own country"
 Their place was taken by German cavalry. Czech and Slav soldiers were used for transport and other
