AUSTRIAN FORCE ROUTED Report Regiment Destroyed and Another Defeated Near Belgrade A despatch from Belgrade says : It is reported here that au Austrian regiment has been destroyed by Servians in a battle east of the capital. The Austrian coJonel fell at the head of his men. The Sixth Austrian Artillery Regiment opened fire on tthe Ser- vian defenders west of here, near Obrenovatz, on the River Save. The Austrians were quickly silenced by the Servian fire, and retired, leaving two damaged guns on the field. The whole aspect of -the war in the Balkans has been changed by the declaration of war on Ger- many by Belgium and England. From planning a defence against Austria the whole Servian general Btaff has turned to schemes of ag- gression. On receipt of the news every soldier placed flowers in the muzzle of his rifle and machine guns were likewise decorated. An immense crowd of su-ldiers and civilians, women and children, 1 paraded the streets as if celebrating a great national fete. No one now believes that an Austrian soldier will cross the Danube. The Ser- vians now talk of a triumphant march through Bosnia and Herze- govina to arouse the Slavs and re- | claim them to the Servian nation. i To meet the menace of an invasion of Bosnia and Herzegovina at least five of the sixteen Austrian ; army corps are required in thes: 1 provinces. Every Servian reserv 1 ist has been called to arms. Three hundred thousand of the finest fighting men in Europe, inured to war and having the experience oi two great campaigns, are now con centrated in the Morava Valley, ready and eager to assist their allies. LIEGE FOUTS REDtCED. Rnf Main Belgian Army is En- ireiu-hed at Namur. A despatch from Paris says : The German shell fire has reduced two of the Liege forts, but the Belgians continue to resist with untiring energy. The Germans were able to use their light siege guns against the forts of Liege, which are thirty years old. Two of them were silenced and the German columns broke through. The other forts are holding out. The Belgians are making a determined resistance be- fore the city. The roar of artillery fire has been heard uninterruptedly all around the city. Germans who succeeded in entering the circle of forts at Fl"ren, ten miles from Liege, di- rected their fire on Drcssour, and wr t-ked many house*. 1 hiring the night, amid cries of "Viva la Belgique !" the civil guard despatched patrols in all di- rections with bugles to announce ill. i' the city would not surrender and the army would continue its brave resistance. Among the Ger- main captured in the attack on Liegi- was Lieut. Baron von Forst- ner. tho young officer whose haughty treatment of the French inhabitants of Zabern, Alsace, brought on the disturbances there I i . ye.ir which were aired- in the Reichstag and resulted in Von F-ir-tner being sentenced to six imprisonment in a fortress. MANY PRIZES 01 WAR. Cruisers Sweep the Seas of Ger- man Merchant Vessels. A despatch from London says The Hamburg - American Line steamers Kronprinzessin Cecilie and Prince Adelbert have been seized by British warships. They are now lying at Falmouth. The cruiser Highflyer brought the steamer Turbantia, from Buenos Ay res for Hamburg, carrying a large quantity of gold and scores of German reservists, into Ply- mouth harbor. Thirty German ships have so far been captured by England. They include a trawler, taken near the Orkney Islands, off the north of Scotland. A man sus- pected of being a spy and several carrier pigeons were found aboard. The British steamer Kcmerick, from Galveston for Bremen, was captured off West Fastnet and taken to Queenstown. The Kemer- ick had 49,000 quarters of wheat aboard for the Germans. CONSl LATE STORMED. Vancouver Mob Tore Down Ger- inati I .1: If. A despatch from Vancouver, B. 0.. says : A mob on Wednesday Abormed the German Consulate here, tore the big double eagle from above the door and trampled it in the street. The glass in all the doors and windows of the Con- Buliite was broken and the furni- ture d-'inolishcd. It is reported that Herr Von Eltinger, the, Ger- man Consul, who is a naturalized British subject, has resigned and thro -AM hus fortunes with his adopt- ed country. SPIES IX BRITAIN. Tuenly-oiie Germans Are Arrested In Twenty-four Hours. A despatch from I/ondon says : Tin- Home Secretary introduced a bill in the House of Common-, on , Wednesday to restrain th* move- ment < f undesirable aliens with thu object of facilitating the removal of spies. This was immediately given a second reading. Mr. Mc- Kenna announced that 21 spies had been arrested in the British Isles during the .last twenty-four hours, chietly in important naval centres. EXPELLED RUSSIANS. Dowager Empress Takes 000 of Them on Hoard Her Special. A despatch from Copenhagen says : The Dowager Empress of Russia started for St. Petersburg by way of Finland. She permitted 600 Russians who were expelled from Germany, and who came here, to travel with her on her special train Essex Off to Sea. A despatch from Halifax, N.S., says. Amid the cheers of thousands of people lining the wharves and house top*, H.M.8. Essex steamed out of Halifax harbor, her band playing "Rule, Britannia," which the citizens sang as shn glided down the stream. The cheers of the peo- ple could be heard over in Dart- mouth, across the harbor, where/ the residents immediately flocked to the waterfront, and their enthu siastic farewell re-echoed across the harbor. It was a never-to-be- forgotten scene. ^ ALLOW ME TO PRESENT MY BEST FRIEND fen ROYAL YEAST . /// BUY/NO YEAST CAKES BE CAREFUL TO SPECIFY \RWALtMU 1 DECLINE SUBSTITUTES. -CAKES E.W.GILLETT CO. LTD.

FEAR OF FAMINE SUBSIDES Confidence Grows That the British Qovernmnet Will be Able to Meet the Crisis A despatch f rom London says : Symptoms of a panic over the ques- tion of food and money supplies subsided greatly on Wednesday. There is general confidence that is the army mobilization proceeding with great smoothness, but the Government's railway service, un- der the direction of committee managers, is being operated with- the measures undertaken by the out confusion. The cricket and Government will meet the crisis ; football grounds in a number of that the money market will not cities have been occupied as camps, smash, and that the Atlantic route will be kept open for shipments from America. Many shops have placarded their windows with the Chancellor's warning against the well-to-do hoarding food to the detriment of the poorer classes. One of the big- gest stores has limited the amount of food to be sold to each person to seven pounds in weight; others refuse to make deliveries, so that people can buy only what they are ible to take away. Still others limit the amount of any foodstuff sold to two pounds. A distinct surprise to the popu- ar mind is the country's apparent preparedness to change the ma- chinery of ordinary life to a war 'ooting on short notice. Not only while schools buildings are and other public being transformed into hospitals. The report spread by London news agencies on Tuesday night that the windows of the German Embassy were broken is denied by the commissioner of police, who de- clares that there was no hostile outbreak. The German colony is in something of a panic, however, because many of them engaged in various occupations fear prejudice will be engendered by the war and ruin their business. The American Embassy and Consulate, which have taken charge of German interests here, find that they will have to face heavy work, and it is probable that their staffs will have to be re- inforced. Canada May Relieve Great Britain of the Burden, Guarding Them in the West A despatch from Ottawa says: One of the war duties which Can- ada will probably have to assume is that of taking care of Great Bri- tains prisoners of war. There will undoubtedly be thousands of these, and Great Britain is not anxious to keep them here, where food sup- plies will be more or less limited, and where the nearness to the con- tinent would lead to numerous at- tempts to escape. At the time of the Boer war pri- soners were sent to Bermuda. In the present case Canada could ren- der valuable assistance by reliev- ing Great Britain of the cost and worry of looking after these pri- soners. They will probably be sent to western Canada, where local militia forces can easily guard an encampment, and where there would be little use of their attempt- ing to escape, since communication with Germany or Austria, even via the United States, will practically be cut off until the termination of the war. Moreover, it would not be a bad stroke of business for the Govern- ment, since after the war a consid- erable number of these prisoners might become permanent residents of Canada and take up homesteads in the west.

Paymatiter J. T. Gcdge and 130 men were lost. The captain, 10 officers and 13ft men were saved.

U.S. Government Closes Gcnnnn Tower nt Sayville, L.I. A despatch from New York says : It was reported from Washington on Wednesday that, after consider- ing the status of the German-owned wireless tower at Sayville, l/ong Island, the corresponding station to the, tower at Naiien, Germany, the State Department has come to the conclusion that it must be closed during the European war.

Natives of Alsace-Lorraine May Join French Annie* the deputies rose to their feet in support of a bill introduced on FACING SITUATION CALMLY. Laek of Hysteria Noticeable in French Capital. A despatch from Paris says : While troops move through Paris streets on their way to the front there is a remarkable spirit of con- fidence and a general lack of hys- terical excitement among the citi- zens who are being left in the city. This assurance, so universal every- where in the city that French arms are to be victorious, is no doubt added to by the constant reports coming from Belgium that the troops there are successfully hold- ing back the German invasion. Th general feeling that France is des- tined during this war to get full revenge for 1870, and the confi- ence that is everywhere expressed A despatch from Paris says : All > has made a marked impression on all still marooned within the city.

A despatch from Ogdensburg, N.Y., says: Paper manufacturers in the United States importing pulpwood from lower Canada by shipload have been notified that un- less special permission is granted the service will be suspended until after the war. It is said to be the purpose of the Dominion Govern- ment to stop all vessel traffic on the St. Lawrence River east of Montreal and plant the river with explosive mines. Large importa- tions of Quebec pulpwood are re- quired at Ogdensburg for northern New York State paper mills. German Reservists Arrested A despatch from London says : German reservists from Canada were arrested on the arrival at Avonmouth on the steamship Royal George. The British Government has re- quisitioned all aircraft in the King- dom and is mobilizing them at the Hendon Aerodrome. Sentries at Dover fired on a man who was supposed to be tampering with the telephone system. The man escaped. Two suspected spies were arrested in London. The admiral commanding tha Irish naval division reports that, the Irish dockyard workers made a splendid response to the call for extra work.
