Petrograd, Sept. 5.-The first
refugees from Riga arrived here
today, and gave dramatic descrip-
tions Of their last hour in the city,
before the German occupation.
The first shells were fired from
the direction Of UxkuII and fell
early Sunday morning, causing
numerous fires and spreading
clouds Of suffocating gases. The
people rushed into the streets,
many only partly dressed, and
there was general rush to reach
the railroad station, which seem
to be the enemy's chief target.
This panic resulted in heavy los
ses, and according to one news.
paper several thousand were lost.
The next night after midnight,
Zeppelin appeared over the city
and in the rays of its searchIight
citizens could be seen fleeing.

GERMANY TRIES TO

WAR UPON RUSSIA

Amsterdam, Sept. 5.---ln an inter-
view, the German chancellor, Dr..
George MichatIis. has made state
mcnt in regard to disclosures at the
trial in retrograd for high treason of
General Soukhonllinoff, former min
lister of war.
Great prominence has been given in
the German pre- Ss recently to teStl-
mony said to have becl taken at the
Soukholminoff trial, tending to show
Russia's responsibility for the begin
ing of the war.
Accounts of the trial reaching this
country have not contained such te3'
timOny.
Chancellor Michaelis said:
"The statement of the former Rus
sian war minister and the former
chief of the general staff, General
Januschkevitch are of the greatest inn
portance. They are calculated COM
pletely to destroy the legend OF Ger
many's guilt in starting the war and
they will force European opinion if
the. reports are allowed to be pub
lished abroad to revive its judgment
on Germany"

1r0Dci Light Is
TIE Advice GiDen
To Drafted Men

Drafted men of the first per cent
contingent who will leave today for
mobilization camps are directed in
resolutions issued yesterday to take a
minimum of civilian clothing and per,
sonal belongings. Toilet articles, tow
els and handkerchiefs are recommend
ed and no objection will be made to
two changes of underclothing, but
other articles are frowned upon.
Attention is called to the fact that
civilian clothing will be discarded
when camp is reached and it was sug-
gested that clothing not worth keep
ing be worn. The men may carry
only light hand baggage on the train,
and suitcases and hand bags will not
be allowed for permanent use at camp.

Italy's long years of preparations
and General Cadorna's stragetic abil-
;ity as commanded continue to bear
fruit in the great offensive, the Ital-
ala1f armies are IUw w'dBins for Tfie3te.
Although official announcement is
lacking there seems little reason to-
doubt dispatches from various sources
that Monte San Gabrielle, the last of
the Austrian strongholds in this dis
trct has been taken by the Italian
troops, giving them possession of the
entire chain of hills dominating the
GOrizia area.
This cnaninence in fact has been
virtually at the mercy of the Italians
since the fall of Monte Santo its
neighboring stronghold.
$50 Prisoners Captured.
With the taking of Monte San Cab
rie'c the capture, of $50 prisoners,
probably all the remaining Austrian
garrison with 32 officers is reported.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 5.-Training
of soldiers for the new national army
began today at Camp Dodge, the Ihlr'
teenth division cantonment, with the
arrival of the first cOntingents from
Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa anu
part of Illinois.
Within a few days, 2,o5S men will
be in camp, representing five per cent
of the 45,165 who are to be nodded
into soldiers here.
Major General Edward II. Plummer,
the camp commandant, said there
would be no congestion in assigning
the men as rapidly as they arrive, as
under his direction, large staff OF
officers had made all necessary pre-
liminary arrangements.
The men are being given an oppor'
tunity to choose the branch OF service
they wish to serve in, General Plum
mer said, and assignments will be bas-
ed to large extent upon their quail
fications.
Formation of four brigadcs was be,
gun today, two of infantry, command
ed by Brigadier Generals c. G. Ballou
and W. d. Beach; an artillery brigade
commanded by Brigadier General
Foote and depot brigade headed by
Brigadier General r. NJ. Getty.
Heavy Program.
A heavy program of work faces the
men. Forty hours drill a week is
planned, according to General Plum
mer, with Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons off. The men who pro-
gress with their work will have the
two afternoons for recreation, while
those who are backward will have to
use that time to "catch up with the
others. In this manner the men will
be kept abreast of each other in mill
tary knowledge.
"There must be some evening study
by the men," General Plummer said.
"The course of study will consist of
lectures on the work of the day and
discussions of tactics. New work
to be taken up the following day will
be discussed and explained"
Instructions starts at once, the
rommandant announced, and the sol
diers first will be trained in the
"school of the soldier" with and with
out the rifle. School of the squad,

gade and division will follow.

MISTAKEN REPORT.

A report has gained circulation from
source to the effect that Warner Shat
tuck had returned to Bisbee and had
been seen on the streets and that he
was to 90 with the next contingent.
In fact, the report was published in
Tombstone, when in fact there is no
truth in it whatever. The report
started from the fact that Warmers
brother Mark returned a few days ago
from Yuma. where he had been on his
fathers ranch and was mistaken for
Warner.
