WILLIAM DECLARES ENEMY
SEEKS GERMAN TERRITORY.
Assures Troops of Final Victory, De-
elsrins War Is Forced Upon U.s."
and I'VE Shall Fight for
Our Existence"

Berlin.-Emperor William on August
issued the following proclamation 10
the German people:
Three years of hard fighting are be-
hind u. With grief We remember our
dead with pride our soldiers. now
fighting. With confidence all our work
ers and with a heavy heart those who
are languishing in captivity. but above
all our thoughts stand resolute in tht
determination 10 prosecute this right
eOus war CT defense 10 q successful
termination.
The enemy is stretching out his
hand toward German territory. but he
shall never have il. New nations CON
tinue TO enter into the war against u.
but that does not brighten Us. We
know our strength and We are deter
mined 10 make use of il. They wish
70 see rs weak and powerless at their
feet. but they shall not prevail
They received dlsdainfully our
words Of peace; they did not know
how Germany could fight. Through
out the world they have slandered the
German name. bur they cannot ex-
tinguish the glory of German deeds.
Thus We stand erect az the clos. Of
this year, unmOvable. victorious and
intrepid. Our trials may still await
US. but we shall meet them grave
mien and full of faith. Throughout
the three years achievement the
mighty German people has become
firm in its resistance against all that
the power Of the enemy can conceive.
If the enemy wishes 70 prolong the suf-
ferings of war. they will weigh more
heavily upon him than upon US.
For that which has been accom-
plished on the front let us at home
show our gratitude by tireless toll. We
must still continue to fight and to fur
nish arms for it. But our people may
rest assured that German blood and
German zeal are not being gambled
with for an empty shadow of ambition
or schemes Of conquest and subjuga-
ton, but in defense Of strong. free
empire, in which our children may live
in security.
Let all our actions and all our
thoughts be devoted 10 this fight. Let
this be our solemn promise Of this day

Solving Solar Heat Problem.

Though the problem Of utilizing So
lar heat in place Of coal has engaged
scientific minds at various times ever
since the early part Of the seventeenth
century, 1t is only within the last 10
years that really promising results
have been obtained. Today. according
to Mr.. Ackermann, the problem is very
nearly solved, at least where sunshine
is plentiful and coal dear. Where, for
example, coal costs as much as SIT
ton-coal costs a great deal more than
that today in Italy-it already pays to
resort to the latest methods OF using
the suns rays in the production Of
mechanical power. The improved
plant tested in Egypt In 1913 brought
results ten times as great as any that
had been previously obtained The
practical side Of the problem IS the
proper concentration OF solar heat.
This requires absorbers, refiectors,
mirrors, lenses and other apparatus at
once complex and extensive. All the
necessary apparatus, however, has
been greatly simpllfied by ingenious
engineers, and further simpliflcation
is said to be reasonably certain.-Chi-

MOST SUICIDES IN THE WEST
Explained by Large Number Of Health
and Fortune Seekers Who Go to
That Section of Country.

The most suicidal city in the United
States is San Diego, Cal, which had
suicidal rate In 1915 Of 63.3 per 10000
people; the least Is Holyoke, Mass,
where the rate for the same year was
81, says Worlds Work. In 100 cities
the suicide rate for 1915 was 2O.3 per
100000 people. Figures running back
ten years show precisely the same or
der Of precedence in different parts Of
the United States. The eastern states
have the lowest rate-from 1910 to
1914 It was 16.5-the southern states
come next, and then the rate increases
progressively as one goes west, reach
Ing the highest rate on the acifc
coast, and especially In California.
Certain explanations come immedI-
ately TO mind. California attracts
many invalids, and dependency over
their physical condition may Increase
the suicide percentage Of the state.
The Rocky mountain and Pacific states
also draw thousands Of men who are
seeking their fortunes-and a large
proportion fail In the quest. The East
and South are more settled in their
ways, less subject TO sudden business
and social upheavals. and consequently
more the home Of steadygoing people.
The West Is more adventurous and
still attracts a considerable number
Of people whose varying temperaments
and varying fortunes might easily ex-
plain Its greater tendency to self
murder

GERMANS MURDER soNERs.
Strip Sailors of Life Belts and Leave
Them to Drown

4 British Port.-Thirty-ei mem
bers Of the crew Of the steamship Bel
gian Prince were drowned in a most
deliberate manner by the German sub
marine which sank her. according 10
the account given by survivors Of that
British vessel. who have reached Brit
lsh shores. One OF the f-nglishmen
who escaped says:
About o'clock on Tuesday even
Ing, when We were 200 miles off land I
saw the wake Of an approaching tor
pedo. The vessel gave a lurch as she
was hit and l was thrown 10 the deck
among the debris. The vessel listed
heavily and all OF US took 10 the boats.
The submarine approached and
shelled the vessel and then ordered the
small boats alongside the submarine.
The skipper was summoned and taken
inside. The others were mustered on
the deck Of the submarine.
The Germans removed the life belts.
and the outer clothing Of all except
eight of US. smashed the lifebOats with
axes and then re-entered the subma-
rine and closed the Matches leaving Us
on deck. The submarine went about
two miles and then submerged. I had
a life belt. Near me was an apprentice
boy of Is shouting for help. I went
to him and held him up until midnight.
but he became unconscious and died Of
exposure. AT daylight I saw the Bel
gian Prince afloat. l was picked up
after eleven hours in the water by a
patrol boat"

DECREASE IN SUGAR SUPPLY.
Worlds Output Present Year Below
Pre-War Annual Average.

The worlds supply Of sugar for the
present year is estimated at 1S.659.792
tons. as against an average production
Of 1S.712.997 tons for pre-war period
of five years. according to the food ad-
ministration.
According to the food administration.
it is not the actual lack of sugar that
emphasizes the need for it's conserva-
ton SO much as inability to get it to
places where it is needed. In a state
ment on this point the administration
says:
while our stocks of raw sugar are
at present being rapidly depleted by
the assistance we are giving the allied
nations, that is but the usual condition
for this time of year. There has been
an increased domestic demand. which
would seemingly indicate the storing
of domestic supplies by householders,
possibly through fear of scarcity at
this season.
'rhe conservation asked Of the Amer
lean people does not necessarily demand
great sacrifices. 1t only needs the elm
nation Of waste and the careful use Of
sugar to enable America to make up
the difference required by the needs of

Strike of German Workers
Would Likely End the War
spondent Says---CoaL Clothing and RaW
Materials Are Becoming Scdrcer

thorities. usually so brusque in labor
questions, are so docile now.
All these points must be considered In
attempting to answer the question,
Can Germany live through another
winter of war;" They are all involved
in what one might call the question of
German unity. Of the German Will
TO fight it out. In this the political
question of what Germany is fighting
for will always be the dominant factor.
That. rather than supplies of food or
clothing or raw materials or machinery.
will be the decisive point For even a
disproportionate distribution of food
would go farther to wreck that unity
than it's lack. The conservatives pre-
tend to see in the growing democratic
cation of Germany the symptoms of dis
union: the democrats naturally see the
opposite. l have not the slightest
doubt that the latter are right: But
only time can tell the story of Ger
manys endurance or the final causes Of

BY OSWALD F. SCHUETTE.
Especial Correspondence of The Star
and Chicago Daily NewsD


BERN, Switzerland. August 6.-There
threatens to be a real coal shortage in
Germany this winter Berlin probably will
feel this worse than the rest of Germany.
just as it feels the food shortage more
severely. Approximately 100000 people
live in Greater Berlin, and as all the
shortages are accentuated by transporta-
neither food nor cSSl. she gets the worst
of it when the trying times come.
Germany has already taken vigorous
steps to make the coal shortage as light
as possible. There is no real scarcity OF
coal in the mines. Germany could supply
most of Europe as far as that is con-
cerned. But there is a lack of skilled
miners. and of transportation. Besides
this, the army consumes enormous guam
titles in various ways, and Germany sup
plies most of the requirements of SwitZ-
erland, Holland and Scandinavia.
The coal cards have already been issued
and the winters supply is being delivered
10 householders in advance-not much
more than half of the ordinary winters
requirements. The industries the
most important war industries-are SINH
larry restricted. and the consumption of
gas and electricity has been cut down to
minimum Last winter Germany went
to bed by law at IL 40 pm. A general
pm curfew would surprise nobody this
winter, and the cities probably will be
pretty dark If necessary theaters, mu-
seums. cafes and other places of public
alni'sement-even hotel lobbies-will be
closed
