aft. according to the report of her master,
Captain Amedeo Pinceti, on the arrival of the
ship here to-day. The captain said he be-
lieved one of the submarines was hit by one
of the shots fred, although his only evidence
was the appearance of q column OF water
which rose in the air where the shell fell.
Norfolk, Aug. 7th-British authorities here
declare that the German submarine Deutsch-
land has not yet actually gone to sea. This
claim is based on the fact hat the sounding
apparatus on the British warships has not
detected the submarine passing. 1t is de-
clared these elisteners' would have recorded
the presence of the submarine had she been
within 10 miles of a warship. There is a re-
port in marine circles here that the Deutsch-
land ia hiding in the bay after having made
an effort to start out to sea.
London, Aug. 0th-General Louis Betha,
Premier of the Union of South Africa, has
arrived in German East Africa to witness
what is believed bore to be the last phase
of the operations against Germany's ono
remaining colony. General Botha was pre-
sent at the recent fighting north of the Ger
man central railway which resulted in a Bri-
tish advance to and occupation of the lines
at KiIimatinde and other points. Meanwhile,
with the occupation of Ujke by the Belgians
and of Sadani and other coast ports by the
British, the Germans apparently are afforded
only the opportunity of retreating to the
south western corner of the colony where the
Portuguese in their East African possession
are awaiting them.
Rotterdam, Aug. 7th-Maximilian Har-
den writing in "Die Zukunft" says; What
pressure could force u quick conclusion of
pe&ceP If Russia lost all her Polish terri
tories she would go back and invite the con-
queror to follow her perhaps even to Vladi-
Vostok. It is said that France could be
forced to lodge and feed our armies. to stuff
or German authority, but there are her
colonies. You can only take them when
you have deprived England of her strength.
How can you deprive England of her
strength Favour of Heaven or accident
might bring about a revolution in India, a
Turkish invasion of Suez, damage by fire,
mass strikes in Britain or a sea battle which
would not leave so much to England that
she would be able with the ships of France
and Japan to patch up something like o
fleet of a Great Power. But Britain is
not even suffering yet. London's face.

America. England does not need to give
up anything aud can barricade all roads by

beginning of the end, joyfully dividing up
the earth, A decision can only be had by
challenging the coldblooded Englishmen.
Russian armies stand again in Galicia and in
the Bukowina close to the Carpathians, Even
if they are beaten into a second retreat who
will give the guarantee that the rivers once
more freed of ice, they will not flow a third
wave still stronger than the two which have
been held back with so much difficulty and
again food over the country. Will the ad-
mirabfe upward swing of the French power
of resistance be paraly wed shortly. Do not
indulge in vain prophecies. That torn coun-
try still carries the colours of unbending
determination and energy. Britain has
great embattled armies in the field. Both
Western Powers have said that their present
offensive is not their highest effort. Ard
according to our experience a still more
flu ious offensive will follow. No, the earth
is not to be divided yet.
