Trying to Find Units.

George Creel, chief of the bureau
of public information, took carge of
his department Immediately and set TO
work trying to ascertain what units
were on the ship. The committee has
endeavored to learn in each instance
before a transport was sailed, what
was the composition Of the forces
aboard.
All this time officers at the War
and Navy Departments hung at the
telegraph and wireless keys awaiting
for some stray bulletins of addition
al information from the cables or in
the air.
Senator Swanson. who acts as chair
man of the Senate naval affairs COM
mittee, said:
Il am deeply shocked. II is q
wonderful thing that we have so far
accomplished the transport of so many
troops to Europe without loss. am
anxious to know how the vessel was
conveyed. 1t has been known that the
German submarines have been unusu-
ally active of late. The news that
precautions against them have failed
in this instance is especially stunning.
But it will make US doubly watchful." I"
Herbert Dent, chairman of the
House military affairs committee, said
to the international News Service:

saddened and shocked still TO discuss

iLL-WlLL TURKEY INCURRED
BY DIVISION RUSSIAN SPOILS.


Washington, July 29.-while no
official notice has been received here
of a breach of relations between the
Central Powers and Turkey, for with
out a doubt Austria is also involved in
dispute, officials expressed little sur
prise at the Copenhagen dispatch
from London saying that Germany and
Turkey had severed relations.
It has been realized for some time
past that Germany. in an effort to
serve both Turkey and Bulgaria in a
division of Russian spoils, incurred
the ill-will of both her allies. The
belief In Turkey that favoritism was
shown Bulgaria, has caused a rapid
growth of anti-German feeling in Con-
stantinople.
That Turkey is thoroughly weary
Of the war is indicated by the failure
of the latest Turkish loan IN June.
However. there is some doubt in the
minds of officials whether the sever
ance of relations, If effected. will be
permanent. It is believed that Ger
many. with Bulgaria and Austria, will
undertake to deal sternly with Tur-
key IT is known also the Turkish
army Is officered almost altogether by
Germans. and while the government
might break relations, the army may
remain thoroughly German.

William Won Tetrich, night clerk at
the San Jose hotel, who was arrested
late Saturday evening on the allega-
tion that he had false registration or

The arrest of Tetrich came as a close

BY GERMAN VANDALS.
british Wireless Servicel.

London, July 29-Evidence accumu-
lates that during their brief stay in t\a
Marne salient the Germans have been
indulging again in wholesale acts of
vandalism. In a message sent from
French army headquarters Reuttr's
correspondent gives details of their
conduct while in possession of Chateau
Thierry.
The Germans were in the town for
some time and apparently thought
they would remain there indefinitely.
When they found they would have
to give it up they apparently deter
mined to take the only vengance in
their power. The injuries which have
been inflicted on the town are such as
sould not be the result of shelling, the
correspondent points out, as the
houses which suffered most were en-
tirely uninjured by shell, shrapnel or
bullet
These houses" he says, were
magniffcently furnished, the walls
hung with costly. tapestries and ad-
mirable pictures. The furniture was
of exceptional elegance and impress
sive mirrors and charming statuettes
We're numerous.
To-day there is nothing that has not
been destroyed. The tapestries have
been hacked to pieces. the pictures
slit from corner to corner. the leather
and other chair coverings have been
ripped and all the delicate Marqueterie
and the irreplacable examples of craft
manship of past centuries have been
smashed. The legs have been torn off
the tables and used in further work
Of destruction. There is not a mirror
which has not been broken and the
fragments before them.
The costly carpets have been soil
ed and rent in every possible way and
ink pots flung at the silken papers on
the walls. This vengefu1 fury has been
carried even to the extent of smash
ing nurseries and doll houses. The
fashion in which beds and rooms have
been defiled is difficult of description
1t would seem the work of lunatics"

VALUABLE STRATEGIC RESULT
OF THE GERMAN RETREAT.

London, July 29.-What seems the
most valuable strategic result to the
allies of the German retreat is the
restoration to allied use of the great
Paris-Chateau Thierry-Chalons rail-
way by means of which the Cham
pagne front is best victualled and
which will be an important factor in
future military developments. The
action may slow down and even be-
come stabilized for a time between
Scissors and Rheims where the Ger
mans apparently are concentrating
great forces, but the fact remains that
the enemy is badly beaten. He does
not only not hold a single inch of the
ground gained since July Is. but with
in fortnight has been forced to aban-
don nearly half the advantages gained
by his offensive of May 81.
The question now is will the enemy
settle down to resistance on the
plateau south OF Vesle or continue
his retirement to the heights between
the Vesle and the Aisne. The answer
will depend upon the extent of his
losses and the number of his reserves
and indications hitherto are that his
losses have not been excessive. It is
regarded as certain that at least half
of the salient will be f1attened to a
straight line from Scissors to Rheims
which alone would shorten the allies
line by thirty miles and lessen the de-
mands on the allied reserves. French
papers are discussing the causes OF
the retreat
Some attribute it to the fan of
Oulchy lie Chateau while others state
that the British attack al Marfaux
and Chaumuzy is responsible because
of the increased threat against Ffsmes
which is the key to the whole salient

ORDINANCE INTRODUCED PLACING
BAN on ALL SIGH AT ONCE, AND
ABOLISHING THE PRESENT ROOFS
WITHIN DOZEN YEARS.

At the suggestion of an insurance
man, Commission Pou yesterday IN
troduced an ordinance providing that
hereafter there be allowed no roofs OF
infIammahie material allowed, and that
in the construction of buildings here
after in the city the roof should be
either of brick or concrete, clay or
Portland cement. tin or slate, asbestos
rs OF an inch thick and upward: pfLcn
Ior felt, or asbestos and asphaitum.
The additional provision is made that
all present shingle roofs be dispensed
With not longer than IL years.
This ordinance was read the first
time on introduction, and then referred
back for second reading at conse-
quent meeting. Within three weeks, it
ise said the new measure will prob
ably be~offered on third reading.
This measure has met with stiff re-
sistance on the part Of a number oi
lumber and timber firms here, nine or
ten of whopf have sent a signed pro-
test to the commissioners, representing
that the adoption of the ordinance will
mean the killing of several local indus
wherein quite a sum of money had
been invested. The statement was al
so made that the local firms are being
put out Of existence, to the benefit OF
the foreign business houses.
The Insurance men, it is stated, nave
put up to the commissioners to get rid
sof present shingle roofs and to dis
courage the further employment or
them in the city, and if this is done,
the intimation is thrown out. there
will be no raise in insurance charges.
On the other hand, it is alleged, there
wili1 be an increase of ten cents per
thousand.

to figures recently compiled house.
wives of the United States are at
present buying enamel utensils at
about the rate Of $4,000, 900 yearly. In
former years considerable portion of
these goods was supplied by manufac-
turers of Sweden, Germany and Aus
tria. Since the beginning Of the war
there has been a steady decline In
these importations, and at the present
time they are practically nil. Japan for
a time sent in shipments of the ware,
but as the quality Of the japanese
goods was unsatisfactory, the supply
from that source has largely ended.

Horses Also Replace Autos on Trails

Dawson, Y. THE lower Yukon

on their big winter system. Numer-

thousands of miles Of Alaska trails.
The most important route perhaps, is
that between Fairbanks and Chitina,
at the terminal of the Copper River
railway.
Certain mail was handled over that
route all summer by automobile, and
these machines will continue running
until the heavy snowfalls In Novem-
Der. Large sleighs drawn by horses
then will be engaged.
Percy de Wolfe, the Dawson-Eagle

plies along the route In preparation
for the winter service. He will use a
launch as long as the river is clear of
ice.
