That anuther naval engagement In
the North Sea has occurred seems
possible from a statement issued by
the London official press. It said
raven German torpedo-boat destroy
era had arrived at Kiel In a damag
ed condition and that others were un
derstood to have been sunk "In the
vicinity of the Kiel Canal." '
In some quarters, however, It was
suggested that the vessels may be

British off Heligoland.
The official Russian statement con
cerning the capture of Lemberg,
Capital of Callcla, says that It Is the
remnant of the Austrian army left
after the Russian attack no longer la
of military value. Besides the thou

made prisoners, the Russians report
that they took 200 guns from the Aus

The two towns are respectively 45

French Capital and they .appear to
mark the points nearest Paris to which
the Oerrmaa advance guards have ap

the German forces draw cloaer to the

NO SACRIFICE TO OGREAT FOR
GERMANS FOR SUCCESS.
The departure of Emperor William
"In the direction of Mayence" (that Is
as much as the press was permitted to
know or report about it) may be said
to mark the beginning of this great
European war, so tar as Germany li
concerned.
As in 1870, the more Important of
the Emperor's advisers went to the
front with him. The party included
Chanvellor von Bethmann-Hollwegg,
Secretary of State von Jagow. War
Minister , von Falkenhayn and other
high governmental and army officials.
The plan of campaign Is that
thought out many years ago and never
since departed from to bend all ener
gies at the very outset to the smashing
of German's Western neighbor. Rus
sia Is to be left to Austria until France
shall have been disposed of.
No one can come In daily contact

cause no German aeroplane flew over

'. A marked feature of the situation
has been the wonderful manner in
which the German mobilization was
carried out. Everything was pre
pared In advance. There waa not
during the whole period of mobiliza
tion a single question from any per
son In charge of any branch of the
work. Not one Instruction had been
misunderstood. An Illustration of the
thorough preparedness of the general
staff Is the experience of America's
military attache. Major Langhorne
who called on War Minister von
Falkenhayn In the midst of the mobil

excuse himself for Intruding at such a

PEACE RESTS IN AMERICA
All Europe I Embroiled In War,
Making 8torng Contrast of Diplo
macy of Natlona.
Watervllle, Me. Contrasting the
peace of the United States with the
war In Europe, Secretary ot the Navy
Daniels, In an address here, declared
the peace which America enjoys ip
due to wise statesmanship in handling
difficult diplomatic problems.
Recounting complication growing
out of California legislation at the
bexining ot the Wilson Administra
tion, which "threatened to disturb
our traditional friendship with Ja
pan," tbe Secretary declared that "the
wise President and wlae Secretary ot
State, loveri of peace and Justice,
pursued a consistent course ot friend
ship and frankness" with representa
tives of Japan and that officials of
Japan likewise held to a course of
consultation and friendship refusing
to be "hurried by the thoughtless or
to lose their heads because of tbe
clamor of Jingoism."
Secretary Daniels called attention
to the protests against the President's
Mexican policy, its ridicule as "ama
teur diplomacy" by many and predic
tions that it would fall.
"Happily the policy of the Admin
istration found favor with the bulk of
the sound citizens of the Republic of
every political party." Mr. Daniels
continued, and the barms of the
President were upheld by the great '
majority of the members of Congress.
by a large portion of the press and
by the people. Today we owe to our
Administration the fact that while
nearly all Europeans are at each oth
er's throats In death's struggle, Mex
ico Is coming Into its own and taking
the first steps toward establishing a
constitutional government, . and our
own people on their own hearths and
firesides are free from the perils or
war."
The world "stood aghast," Mr. Dan
iels declared, "at the conflict In Eu
rope. "Before the final appeal to
arms while sitting at the bedside of
his dying wife," he said, "President
Wilson sent a cable message to the
heads of the Powers tending the
good offices of the American govern
ment In the hope that the differences
might be settled with honor without
resort to arms. : -,
'This tender voiced the American
spirit and the American Impulse. If
all the warring nation could have
accepted this method ot arbitrament
ot the differences, what a blessing it
would have carried Into the homes
now full of tears." "'
