Bill Introduced Providing a Fine or Imprisonment. A despatch 'from London says: Attorney-General Sir J. A. Simon introduced a bill in the House of Commons on Tuesday which would considerably enlarge the scope of existing provisions for the suppres- sion of trade with the enemy. It would even prohibit the making of any payment to an alien anemy though the obligation arose out.of a contract made prior to the out- break of the war. The bill provides for the imposition of a fine of $2,500 or imprisonment for twelve months on a summary conviction, and seven years' penal servitude on conviction after indictment. . forces on the Conti- | ; a SEEN N BE wy a : ] v- » = PANIC RULES IN AUSTRIA | "REMEMBER LOUVAIN."

A despatch from Bordeaux says: The following prediction by an In- dian magi, which was published in 'the Godhpor Almanac last: January, completes the cycle forecasting the downfall of Germany: "In the month of July, 1914, all Rurope will be overwhelmed by a war between the great powers, and terrible disasters will result. But in November a great Emperor will lose his crown and hostilities will cease.' The Cool Tenacity of John Bull raise a million men the first y two million the second year, and three million the third year. We shall have a very respectable army five years hence, and it is really most tactless of the Germans to talk of peace when it will take us such a long time to get into our stride. - Poor old Paul Kruger made just the same mistake as the Kaiser . He was told by all the staffs of Europe that our army was' only 70,000 strong, and when we produced 400,000 he was positively pained, and was quite disappointed at being so misled. In the same way we began this war with a little army 170,000 strong, but we and America have a talent for turning out immense forces when we are put to it, and our present job is to work day and night for some years in or- der to prevent all the States with a penchant for hegemony from ohal- lenging' us in future. Mean- while we are getting on very well. Trade is reviving after the first shock," Germans Defeated in Africa A despatch frem London says: | The official press bureau announces + | that British troops have met and defeated a German force of 400 hich entered Nyasaland, | Africa. The Germans lost officers killed and two wound- too exhausted at x Karonga (on the north-west shore of Lake Nyassa, at the terminus of the Stevenson Road), which was defended by one officer, fifty African Rifles, the police and eight civilians, After three hours' resistance, a column arrived from the British force and drove the enemy off. Ia ter, the main British' force came up, and after a day's fighting, in which the Germans fought with great. determination, and had to be dislodged by repeated 'boyonet charges, drove the enemy toward the oie Raver. The British were 'exh: to continue the pur- Vienna Is Faced By a Farhine, and Prices Are Steadily Rising A despatch from London says: 'The correspondent of The London Daily Mail in Milan, who has lately been in Vienna, draws a gloomy pic- ture of the Austro-Hungarian Em- pire. He says: ; "Panic rules in Austria. The great,' unwieldy and bankrupt Em- pire, dragged Yreluctantly at the heels of Germany, is in a state of desperate muddle and fear. Her armies, half-hearted at first, and now openly mutinous, are beaten back 'at every point by the Rus- sians. "The policy of mixing in each company men of the different races which compose the Empire has had the result that there is no esprit de corps in the army. Many of the men were driven into trains at the point of the bayonet, and scores were shot by their officers to ter- rorize their fellows into obedience. "While the Russian avalanche Abandonment A despatch from London says: A private message from Berlin passed by the Gérman censor says: -- "The German papers evidently have been too optimistic as to the situation in western battlefields where overwhelming victories have been claimed. The enthusiasm of! the newspapers is not found at the German headquarters. Undoubted- ly the German army has its hardest work to do. The great advance of the Germans into France has not drives on, Bosnia is in open revolt and Triest paralyzed by fear of an attack from the sea. Austria is bankrupt; trade is at a standstill, and thousands of business men are ruined by a war which they hate. "While the harvest remains un- gathered, Vienna is men by a famine, and prices are steadily ris- ing. In resentment the popular anger has turned against the for- eigner, and Serbs have been torn to pieces in the streets. Two Russian newspaper correspondents were shot by the police, and five journal- ists are in prison. "In utter fear the Government has begun to fortify Vienna, and arrangements have been made to flood large tracts of low-lying land around the city. Riots have occur- red in many towns, and to the ter- rors of the Cossack and the Serb will be added those of revolution and famine." Of Campaign not be overlooked that the allies are still in possession of armies fully fit for battle. It cannot be denied that the Germans, in their eager- ness, have brought heavy losses upon themselves that ought to have been avoided." This message is taken to mean that the world is being prepared for the announcement of the retreat of the Germans from France. Bvi- dently the Germans do not feel quite safe on account of the rapid and probably too extended advance ended the war, for the fact must to the west. DISCORD AMONG GERMANS The Socialist Democrats Begin to Deplore the Terrible Loss in the War A despatch from Copenhagen says: The first sign of discord among the German people is reveal- ed in Berlin newspapers which reached here on Tuesday. The So- cial Democrats are beginning to de- plore the terrible German losses. All of the citizen parties except the Bocialiste have formally notified Admiral von Tirpitz, Minister of Marine, that they will continue to support the Government financially with the programme of 1915-16, but the Socialist newspapers, which have loyally supported the Govern- ment heretofore, complain bitterly that they were not consulted with the other parties and while they are not actually refusing to sup- port the maval programme for ships to replace those which have been lost, there is an apparent feeling that a hitch has oocurred, and that continued military losses may widen the breach, Berlin: newspapers received here say that the Zeppelin airships are working under great difficulties. The aeronautic engineers say it is necessary for the airships to fly at a great altitude in order to escape the enemy's guns. For this reason ac- curate bomb-throwing is very diffi- cult. The bomb-throwers are en- cased in armored steel baskets, which are suspended hundreds. of feet below the cars of the Zeppelins. This entails great risk for the engi- neers, one of whom has already been shot, although the ship was not damaged. - "GREAT SECRET" T0 BE USED Censored Despatch Intimates That Terrific Surprise Awaits the Germans i A 'despatch from London says: A ily News correspondent in Paris the following censored mes- "Paris is going to be defended to says: | the "last wall, | even to street fighting, the few sur- vivors in the city here are 1 to see the walls burning about asking ourselves how far their ex- traordinarily nice sense of humanity will prevent the French from mak- ing use of their great secret, This is a war to kill and to be decided by the number killed.
