MUST NOT EQUIP FOR HOSTILITIES Uncle Sam Wateh- ing Forgign Ships. 'T0 STOP VIOLATORS OF ITS NEUTRALITY Big Vessels Now in American Harhors May Not Be Per- mitted fo Depart, ‘Washington, Aug. 8.—Foreign'ships being converted for wair purposes or carrying foreign reservists in organ- ized manner will not be permitted to clear from ports of the United States. The Olympic, the crack ship of the White Star fleet, may not be permit- “ted to sail from New York for South- ampton, as she belongs to the British naval reserve. New York customs of- ficlals declined to say whether they would give her clearance: The Red Star liner Vaderland, book- ing only male passengers for Belgium, and with her entire steerage, accom- modating 2,000 persons, placed at the call of the Belgium consul here for reservists, also may be held, accord- ing to the New York officials. Instructions to aid the customs au- thorities of New York in enforcing President Wilson’s neutrality procla- mation were telegraphed from the de- partment of commerce. Wire Department First. “Wire the department before issu- ing clearance papers to foreign ves- sels, unless you are satisfied that the ship has not made any preparations while in port tending in any way to her conversion into a vessél of war,” said the department. “Taking on an abnormal amount of | % 5 coal, except. in the case of colliers, | 5U3rding the Russian frontier: were i sent to Berlin. would indicate such conversion. Un- packing of guns already on board would be conclusive. Painting of ves- sels a war color would indicate con- version. It must be clear that she is not to be used for transportation of reserves or recruits for a foreign army or navy. “If ber passengers are nearly all men and practically all of the some nationality clearance cannot be grant- ed. It must be .unquestionable that she has no arms or munitions of war aboard. Have reports of each foreign vessel in your port certify to this de- partment whether she is a merchant vessel intended solely for the carriage of passengers and freight excluding munitions or war or whether she.is a part of the armed forces of her na- tion.” CROWN PRINCE TO THE FRONT Will Assume Command of German Forces at Liege. Rotterdam, Aug. 8—Official con- firmation was received here that the German crown prince had arrived at Verviers, Belgium, en route to as- sume command of the army besieging Licge. This effectively disposes of the re- port circulated from London that he had been badly wounded by an as- sassin in Berlin. SIME INDICATIONS OF REVIVAL CF INDUSTRY New York, Aug. dications of revi finance and industry. From the steel trade comes reports of higher prxces and a more active inquiry. Distribution of emergency currency to the New York banks continued, but the banks made no urgent demands and the money went out slowly. Ifforts were made at a meeting of bankers and bond dealers to stop outside dealings in bonds during the period of the stock exchange suspen- sion. Tt was decided to curtail such transactions as far as possible. WHEAT GCES P 1O $1 AS WAR RESULT Minneapolis, Aug. 8.—September wheat went up to $1 in the wheat pit within an hour after it opened at 97 cents. It was the highest prlce quoted since July, 1912. Frenzied excitement was saused in the pit when the report was received that the English fleet had destroyed —There are in- g activity in ihe German fleet in the North sea. It| was believed that if this was true Ingland and her allies immediately would put every vessel possible into commission to carry wheat to those couhtries without fear of seizure by Germany or Austria. Dentist’ Kills Two and Self. ' Chicago, Aug. 8.—Dr. Olaf Lange, a dentist of this city, while insane kill- ed his wife and three-year-old son and committed suicide. He stabbed Mrs. Lange and the child and hsn cut his - throat. {izing they are going to certain de- | BATTLE IMMINENT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN Messina, Italy, Aug.-8.—With their decks cleared for action andevery | gunner at his post thie German war- ship Goeben and cruiser - Breslau steamed at full speed out of the:har- bor here.* It is known the British Mediterra- nean fleet, which pursyed the two warships after they escaped from the French squadron, is cruising off the port and the Germans will have to fight. They were given the choice by the Italian government of remaining in port until the end of the war or of putting to sea and taking their chances. The German commander chose the latter. It is understood they will try to make a dash for the Austrian coast, where they can effect a juncture with the Austrian navy. The officers of these warships, real- struction, made their wills and left them with the German consul at the port. KEEP DOWN BREAD PRICES IN LONDON London, Aug. 8.—The London mas- ter bakers have agreed there shall be no immediate increase in the price of bread. The millers have agreed to carry out all contracts for grain which were made before the war at the original prices. J The wheat crop, which has been partly harvested, is larger than usual. The potato crop also is large and there will be no need of importations. The prices of frozen and chilled beef have been raised about 4 cents a pound. There is a two months’ sup- ply in the country. The big department stores were crowded by women, many of whom came in motors to buy provisions, but the dry goods, furniture and oth- er departments were deserted. /AUSTRIK DECLARES “WAR UPON RUSSIA Vienna, Aug. 8—Assurance from | the Austrian war office that Austria will immediately take up the task of With the declaration of war upon Russia by Emperor Francis Joseph, followed by the immediate announce- ment of a similar declaration against Austria by the czar, Kaiser Wilhelm may direct all of his attention to the Belgian and French campaigns for at least the next two weeks., . Russian mobilization is nrégrenllnt slowly. The Austrian war office is confident that with the withdrawal of only a small portion of the forces attacking Servia the Russian advance can be checked. The German border patrols have made raids into Russian territory, burning villages, but no general en- gagements have occurred. BRITISH CRUISER AMPHION 1S SUNK London, Aug. 8.—Part of the Brit- ish and German fleets have been in action. The Germans fought a running fight, according to the admiralty, which advises that “all of the news may not be favorable.” The only real disaster admitted, however, is the loss of the cruiser Amphion with 130 men. It is consid- ered certain, however, that a number of. British destroyers have been at least crippled. The German warships were driven back on their base off the German coast and the admiralty claims that British shipping now has a clear pas- sage through the channel, while ‘the fishing fleet tneed no longer remain in the North sea ports. BIG NAVAL BATTLE RUMOR UNCONFIRMED London, Aug. 8.—That the German and British fleets have clashed in the North sea is the report coming trom many sources. = Some of these reports declare “England has won a glorious victory.” Tn the house of commons First Lord of Admiralty Winston Churchill de- nied that any decisive naval engage- ment had taken place between the German and British fleets. That there has at least been a blt- tle is admitted at the admiralty, which says English shipping is now safe,)the German warships having been driven to Holland. The fact that German warships have fled to home waters is accepted everywhere as meaning that England’s power on the sea is supreme. Franco-German Skirmish. +++++++++++++++++j-x— Paris, Aug. 8.—A slight skirmish occurred between German and French troops at Noroy-Le-Seo, in Meurthe- Et-Moselle. The Germans suffered a few casunlties, but there was mo loss on the French side. Labor Party Lud-r Rnhm.

Topeka, Kan., Aug. 7.—Although Charles Curtis, former senator, con- tinues to hold a lead over Senator Joseph L. Bristow for the Republican senatorial nomination in Kansas, late returns leave the result in doubt and it is believed Bristow has a chance. Fifteen counties complete, including the home counties of the candidates, gave Curtis a lead of 1,600. Bristow supporters, however, declare returns from western counties not yet report- ed will cut down Curtis’ majority and probably nominate Bristow. The contest between Hugh P. Far- relly and “Congressman George A. Neeley for the Democratic senatorial romination is in practically the same col’ldltldn. BURY' THIRTY URIDENTIFIED ea— Victims- of Wreck at Joplin, Mo, Burned Beyond Récognition. Joplin, Mo., Aug. 8.—Funerals of thirty unidentified victims of the wreck at Tipton Ford, ‘where forty persons: are known to have lost their lives, were held at Neosho, near here. The bodies were so severely charred it was impossible to .identify them and they were buried :in unmarked graves. Only six among the dead have been identifled. In the debris of:the ill fated motor car lay a pile of ashes which many persons believed contained the rem- nants of a number of other bodies. Just how many lost their lives will never be known, some estimates reaching fifty-seven. German Destroyer Blows Up.

A few of the crew were saved apd taken aboard French. Dramatist Is Dead. Paris, Aug. 8.—Francois Elie Jules Lemaitre, the French dramatic eritic, playwright, poet and novelist, is dead.

BIG ROLLER COASTER BUILT Thrilling Dips and Dives at Great Min- nesota State Fair. Did you ever take a ride on a big roller coaster about half a mile long and find yourself fairly gasping for breath, though thrilled by pleasure, as you matle the deep dips and sharp turns?- If you have experienced the sensation you know why some persons are 8o crazy about it that they refuse to get off until they have taken a dozen rides or more. A gigantic roller coaster has been erected at the Minnesota State Fair, Grounds this summer that is said to be one of the largest ever built in the Middle West. It will please thousands at the Fair, Sept. 7-12. - A cable car- ries the two-seated car te the top, which is so high that a view of-all the grounds is afforded. Then the car is suddenly released, and a long deep dip is taken that leaves a great. empty space in your stomach. You shoot up a hill, take a sharp turn, another dip, a dozen more ascents, dips, and dives, and back you are again ready for an- other ride. Near the coaster a big Carousell, similar to several merry-go-rounds put together, is being:built that will prove to be an attraction of considerable im- portance. structure.
