man East Africa.

London, Sept. s.-The ports of Kilwa
Kivinie and Kilwa Kisi Wani, in German
East Africa, respectively $50 and IT'S

rendered to the British under threat of a
bombardment, according to an official
statement issued last night giving details

laam. The statement says:
"At dawn of the third of September
naval attack by British forces in What
ers in conjunction with heavy lombard
ment of enemy positions north of the
town from the direction of Bagamoio

and in Msassani bay. The enemy evac
uated Oar -Es- Salaam, which was occu-
pied by combined naval and military
forces, the British colors being hoisted
with full honors. The town. except for
the portions occupied by the German
troops, was virtually undamaged.
"On the 7th British naval forces and

AUTOMOBILE DEMOLISHED.
Earl Ward Escaped Injury BY Jumping
to the Rear of Car.

just as Earl Ward drove an automo-
bile truck of the Barre Electric Co. on
the Central Vermont railroad crossing on
Granite street this morning a train of
freight cars was backed toward a siding
near the freight house. Ward jumped
from the seat to ladder which was part
of the equipment of the car and escaped
injury, but the vehicle itself was badly
smashed, the wheels being broken and
the lights, steering apparatus and body
being seriously damaged.
The automobile was moving at moder-
ate speed. the driver being on his way to
the Beck & Beck stoneshed. The machins
was pushed along the track for a dis
tance of six rods before the engineer
could stop his train. The vehicle did not
tip over and so Ward clinging to the
ladder, escaped any injury. The truck
was of the 1910 Cadillac make and be-
cause of its weight was kept upright.
Ward saws he did not see the fiagman
who is stationed al this crossing, it being
asserted that the fagmsn was seated in
his chair at the time.

"ABSOL LUTELY JUST"
Is Fairbanks Characterization of Charles
T. Hughes.

Kittery, Me, Sept. s.-Charles W
Fairbanks, Republican candidate for vice
president, in an address here last night
urged the election of Republican candi.
dat tes in order to restore the protective
tariff and guard against European in
dustrial invasion after the war.
Mr.. Fairbanks only reference to Presi-
dent Wilson was criticism for repudiat-
ing the one-term plank in the Baltimore
platform.
Zone term of a Democratic admins
tration is one too many" he said.
The speaker characterized the coun-
trys present depression in Maine during
the summer of 1914 and predicted SINH
lar conditions after the war, unless the
Underwood tariff was repealed and more
stringent protective measures were sub
stituted.
Mr.. Fairbanks described Mr.. Hughes,
the Republican nominee for president, as
a man who was absolutely just" and
one who could be depended upon to
think first and act afterward" and not
"act first and think afterward," as he
claimed the Democratic administration
had during its four years in power.

was especially heavy between Nerman-
doviller, and Chaulnes. The Germans
preceded their infantry assaults with in
tense bombardments.

providing for the purchase from Den,
mark of the Danish West Indies for S25,.
100000 was ratified by the Senate last

bate in executive session while the Sen
ate was waiting for the conference re

Overwhelming vote, and the treaty was
approved just as it was signed by Sec

mark would sell TO the United States the
islands of st. Thomas St John and st.

Will Fight to the
Bitter End

New York, Sept Subway and ele-
waited transportation lines on Manhattan

cials of the Intcrborough Rapid
Transit company say are virtually nor.
NAL schedules, although it was admitted
that service on the surface lines of the
New York Railways company was Sc
riously affected by the traction strike
called Wednesday night.
Officials of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railway
Employees, who are conducting the strike,
conceded that schedules on the subway
and elevated lines were not seriously
hampered, but reiterated their deter
mnation TO fight to the end. They an
nounced that widespread efforts would
be made to induce strike breakers and
employees who have remained loyal to
the company to quit their posts.
Theodore p. Shonts, president of the
lntcrborough, issued a statement in
which he said the strike was a failure.
If police protection continued as good
as it had been throughout the day, he
asserted the city was assured Of normal
facilities.
Several arrests were made during the
day. Disorders which occurred in va
rious parts of the city, however, result
ed in only minor injuries to few per
sons, according to police reports.
William b. Fitzgerald, organizer Of the
