72,000 RUSSIANS LANDED Amsterdam Story Corroborated by Passengers Who Arrived on the Mauretanla at New York A despatch from New York says : A Russian army of 72,000 men, transported from Archangel, Kus- rin. was !n<lrd at Aberdeen, on the east coast of Scotland, on August 87 and wore conveyed on special trains to Harwich, Grimsby and Dover, where transports conveyed them to Ostend, in Belgium, ac- cording to officers and passengers of the Cunard Liner Maurentania, which reache<l here from Liverpool. Every precaution was taken by English arid Russian military au- thorities, persons <n the Maure- tania saJl, to keep the fact that foreign soldiers we.ro being trans- ported to England from becoming known, and the service on the East Cx>ast railway lines was suspended during the seventeen hours the troop trains were on their journey. The passengers said that the trip of the Russian troops from Archangel U> Aberdeen occupied three days. Despatches from Otnd atate that a large body of troops was landed from transports at that place, and it is evident that these were thu troops referred to by the passengers on the Mauritania. The sending of Russian soldiers, by sea from Archangel, which is on the White Sea, necessitating a trip through the Arctic Ocean around the north coast of Norway into the North Sea, instead of from one of the much more convenient ports of the Baltic, i explained by the fact that ships from Baltic ports have -to pass through the narrow Cattegat in order to reach the North Sea. The Cattegat is understood to be block- aded by a considerable German 1 fleet. Appalling German Casualities A despatch from the Hague says : German casualty lists which have reached here are appalling. They are published under the authority of the German general staff and occuru six full pages in the official Reichs Anzeiger. No attempt has been made to gloss over the terrible detail* of the disasters wliich have befallen the German arms. There is n<> -..ni!iiPiit on the fa<ct that the men reported killed and missing outnumber enormously thoae listed a wounded. Travelers from Berlin inform me that half the city already in draped in black. A conspicuous figure among the mourners is Prince Bernhard von Buelow, formerly Imp) rial Chancellor, whose bro- ther, Gen. von Buelow, was killed during the siege of Liege. He and the Princess are stopping at the Hotel Adlon. The great millinery and dress- making establishments in the Ger- man capital are now wholly given over to the manufacture and sale of mourning. They are nacked all day by weeping women and child- ren, and queues of mourners are in front, every one clad in sombre shades. The nhadow of the calamitous losses is over the entire city. Prin- cess von Lippe, at the Hotel Cum- 'berland, received a telegram at dinner one evening informing her that her two sons had fallen at Liege. Forgetting she was a prin- cess in a public dining-room, she. sobbed aloud. Only one word pass- ed her lips, "Dead I" Later the Princess was informed that her two vounger brothers had 'been killed at Charleroi. HOT AERIAL BATTLE. German Arronlnni'H Engaged by French Over I'ari*. A despatch from Paris says: A fight in the air over Paris took place on Thursday evening. Three German aeroplanes hovered over the capital , and immediately two French machines were sent up to enKK<' tlwm. Meanwhile machine giins mounted on public building* and rifles kept up a constant fire. Bv this means one of the German machines became separated from the others, and the French aviators flew Kwiftly in its direction. The Germans opened fire, to which t/lie Frenchmen replied strenuously. The engagement seemed to turn to the disadvantage of the Germans, wli<> mounted speedily to a higher level, and, holding this position, was saved from further attack. He finally disappeared in a northwest direction over Fort Koniainville, after a vain pursuit. The other German aeroplane also escaped the fire of the guns, and after circling about for a considerable time, dis- appeared from view. 4, Pri-om-rs Attempt to Escape. A despatch from I/ondi>n Kays: A core of German prisoners taken duriiiK the naval engagements off HeliR.iland, headxl by a son of Ad- miral von Tirpitz, the German Mini'tT of Marino, tried t<> cscnpi? from the prisoners' ca<mp war Kdm- burxli Their utU-mi<it put the camp in temporary confusion. It seemed for a while as if the attempt would succeed, but all the prisoners were captured. Young Tirpitz was grab- bed us IIP was climbing over the boundaries of the camp. All the men who attempted to es- cape arc now confined in Edinburgh Castle JAPAN LANDS TROOPS. Said to lie a Violation of China'* Neutrality. A despatch from Pekin, China, says: Japan has landed between 10,000 and 15,000 troops from eigh- teen transports at Lung-Kow, a newly-opened port about 100 miles north of Tsing-Tau. This i de- clared to have been done in viola- tion of China's neutrality. The German Legation has protested to the Foreign Office againat an in- fringement of China's neutrality by Japan. The protest followed the landing of a Japanese division at the newly-opened Chinese port of Lung-Kow, 100 miles north of Tsing-Taii. A despatch from Washington says: Chinese officials have called the attention of. American Consular officers at Chec-Foo to the landing of several thousand troops by Ja- pan on Chinese territory at Lung Kow, near Tuang-Haien. This, Chinese officials claim, is a distinct violation of neutrality. A KOKDK.U X TIIK NKW CAPITAL M'SURO to Citizens Issued by the Fmii-li Ministry. A despatch from Paris says: The eat of the French Government, it is announced, will be transferred from Paris to Bordeaux. The Gov- ernment iHsued at midnight Thurs- day, through the Ministry of the Interior, a proclamation bringing thift to the knowledge of the people of Paris and giving their reasons for the change. The significant fea- ture of the proclamation is that Paris is soon to beoonie a pivot in the manoeuvre* between the allied armies and the Germans. For this reason the Government naturally cannot remain here. ZEPPELIN VISITS ANTWERP Shuts Were Fired at the Airship and It Is Believed to Have Been Hit A dc-Huatch from Antwerp say* : The following official statement eonctmiing the manoeuvres of a Zeppelin airship over Antwerp on ?u-- 1,...- night and early on Wed- nesday was issued Wednesday night : "A Zeppelin airship wns :>i r'<vl at half past ten o'clock near the tHiri? to the v.utli of the city and Ifo near the River Ne/the.

AUSTRIANS_CRUMPLED UP Nearly Fifteen Thousand Were Buried on Battle- field at LembiT DISASTER IN RETIREMENT - Germans Must Continue, Even Though Annihila- tion Awaits Them A despatch from London says: A correspondent of the Daily Chroni- cle telegraphs : "The Germans undoubtedly are at an M, at', distance from their bow. They have been unable to avail themselves of the Belgian rail- wa.y s and there is an insufficiency of animal and motor transportation. Every day's delay of their forward movement serves to diminish the German chances of ultimate suc- ct-Hs and to render more precarious the position of the invaders. They cannot attempt to retire without the risk of an irretrievable disaster." Therefore they are almost certain to continue to seek to crush the allies' line, oven though annihila- tion subsequently await them under the walls of Paris." Referring to the appalling losses of the Kaiser's troops, the corres- pondent continues: "A few more such delays and the fourth German army invading Northern France will have destroyed itself completely. No army that ever existed could endure and survive the terrible losses sustained by the Germans. Whole divisions of infantry have been blotted out of existence by the deadly fire of the British. ."The enemy still clings to the formation of attacking en masse. It is little wonder if demoralization is beginning to appear in the shat- tered German ranks. The infantry- has lost its elan. It no longer dis- plays dash in pushing 'home its at- tack. The fearful punish men<t to which it has been subjected is be- ginning to tell." A despatch from Petrograd (St. Petersburg), says : The following official communication wa issued by the Russian War Office Wednes- day night: "After a battle lasting seven days the Russian army seized - heavily fortified positions around Lemberg (capital of Galicia), in Austria- Hungary, about ten or twelve miles I from the town. The Russian troops | then advanced toward the principal forts. "After a battle on Tuesday, which was fiercely contested, the Austrian* were obliged to retreat in disorder, abandoning heavy and light guns, parks of artillery, and field kitchens. "Our advance guard and cavalry pursued the enemy, who suffered enormous losses in killed, wounded and prisoners. "The Austrian army operating in the neighborhood of LeJn.be rg was composed of the third, eleventh and twelfth corps and part of the sev- enth and fourteenth corps. This First Casualty List to Hand A despatch from Ixindon says : The names of British officers killed or wounded in the fighting in France last week were made public on Wednesday night. The list con- tains the names of men familiar throughout Hhe United Kingdom both through their military prow- ess and their social standing. Vir- tually all the crack regiments arc affected. Among the killed are Robert Cornwnllis Maude, sixth Viscount Hawarden, a lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards, and Major Victor Reginald Brooke, military secretary of the Viceroy of India. KILLED 36 officers and 127 men. \VOUNDKD~57 officers and 629 men. MISSING 85 officers and 4,183 men. Among the officers missing are Lieut. Col. A. W. A'bercrombie, of the Connaught Hungers; Lieut. - Col. I>. ('. Boger, of the Cheshire Regiment; Col. C. F. Stevens, of the Royal Artillery ; and Col. H. M. Thompson of the medical corps. The percentage of casualties to the officers is high, a mute tribute to their heroism. It is carefully ex- plained that this is only a partial report and that it does not deal with the recent fighting. The re- port comes from General French. 'Speaking generally, a cavalry bri- gade contains 300 men while "three divisions less one infantn- bri- gade" would be 41,000 men a to- tal of 41,800. The loss was accord- ingly about 12 per cent. At Paar- deberg the British loss was 8 per cent. Further reports of British casual- ties are expected with little delay. As regards the men, as disting- uished from officers, it is known that a considerable proportion of the 7iiising were wounded men who had heen sent down country, and of whom particulars were not avail- able at headquarters. In the missing are included those who have not been acvqunted for, and the list of missing may com- prise prisoners not wounded and straRglers as well as casualties. army appears to have been com- pletely defeated. "During Uie pursuit by the Rus- sian troops the Austrians, who beat a retreat from Guila Lipa, were forced to abandon an addition- al 31 guns. Our troops are moving over roads encumbered with parks of artillery and convoys loaded with provisions of various kinds. ''The total number of guns cap- tured by the Russians around Lem- berg amounts to ISO." An earlier official announcement gave the number of Austrian dead in the previous fighting around Lem- berg, who were buried on the bat- tlefield by the Russians, as 14,800. The commander of the Austrian division, the commander of a bri- gade, and t,Ke Chief of Staff of the division were among the killed, and 4,000 prisoners were taken. Three Russian Generals, Sam- soniv, Martos and Pestitch, are re- ported <to be among the killed at Lemberg. WATCH NEW YORK IIAHBOR. British Cruiser Remain.* Near Pas- senger Steamers Sail. A despatch from New York say* : The hawk-like watch which British cruisers have maintained on New York harbor was continued on Wednesday. Every vessel entering port within the past 48 hours has sighted the low-lying, grey figure of one of the British cruisers. The White Star liner Olympic sailed Wednesday morning bound for Liv- erpool, and the American liner St. Paul and the Red Star liner Vader- land were due to said later in the day. The Olympic and St. Paul booked less than 300 passengers be- tween them; the Vaderland had none. The latter had been in port since the war began. She was to have sailed three weeks ago with Belgian reservists, but the reser- vists apparently were slow in re- sponding to the call. She will now go to Liverpool instead of Antwerp, to bring back American refugees. SUNK BY A MINE. Vessel Engaged in Search Blown Up Six Lives Lost. A despatch from London saya: The steam drifter Eyrie, engaged in mine sweeping operations in" the North Sea, struck a mine on Wed" nesday morning and went to the bottom in three minutes. Six mem- bers of the crew are missing; five were saved. (i Kit MAN STEAMER C.\. i I UKI) Kronnrinz \\ illn-lm Is a Prize in Bermuda. A despatch from New York says : Sir Courtenay Bennett, British Consul-General in this city, an- nounced on Wednesday afternoon that he had been informed by a trustworthy friend that the North German Lloyd steamer Kronprinz Wilhclm had been captured in nearby waters by the British flot- illa of cruisers and taken, a war prize, to Bermuda. His informa- tion, he said, had not been con- firmed, but he thought it to be true. The Kronprinz WilheLm sail- fled from New York 'with darkened lights and all the coal she could get aboard, on the night of August 3, a day or so before the declaration of war between Germany and Great Britain. She has not yet been re- ported as arriving at any port. CLAUDE GRAIIAME-WHITE ADMIRAL OF THE AIR A despatch from London says : Claude Grahame-White, the noted aviator, has been appointed a tem- porary flight commander in the Bri- tish navy. Richard T. Gates, who recently resigned from the Royal Aero Club, has been appointed a temporary flight lieutenant. + A NARROW ESCAPE FOR KINU ALBERT A despatch from London says : King Albert came within an ace of death during a sortie on MaJines.

"It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed it to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebuilder jwid re- storer of nerve and bra-in tissue, as well as muscle. It improves the digestion, and sick patiemts gain very rapidly, just as I did in strength and weight. "1 was in such a low state th.it I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of tihis fctate, but two months tliore did not improve me ; in fact, I was not quite as well as when I left hunie. "My food did not sustain me, and it became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and in two weeks I could wa.lk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks returned --to my homo and practice, taking up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers. I consider it a duty to make these facts public." Name given by Canadian Poatum Co., Windsor, Ont. Trial 10 days of Grape-Nuts, whe>n regular food doe not seem to sus- tain the body, works wonders. 'There's a Reason."
