Three Million Feet of Lumber in
Logs is Destroyed
Ths forest fire that has been raging
in the woods back of the Carlton Lum
ber Company's camp is at the present
time under control. Word was receiv
ed in Carlton during the early part of
the week that if the weather remain
ed the earn», and the wind did not rise
there would bo no more danger of the

The fire started from a blown out
shot in a stump where the men had
been doing some blasting, As there
were two more shots in the slump the
men in charge were unable to get to
the fire until it had gained sufficient
headway Pt be beyond control.
The report that camp No. 1 of th«
Carlton Lumber Company had been
burned, and that camp No. 2 win in
danger, is false, So far there has been
no dam ige done to either of the camps

ULTIMATUM SENT BY
JAPAN TO GERMANY
Demands Withdrawalof German
Warships From Orient and
Evacuation of Kiau-Chau.
Tokio.—Japan sent an ultimatum to
Germany Saturday night at 8 o'clock,
demanding the withdrawal of German
warships from the orient and the eva
cuation of Kiau-Chau and giving Ger
many until Sunday, August 23, to com
ply with the demand. Otherwise, the
ultimatum states, Japan will take ac
tion.
The general expectation here Is that
the ultimatum will be followed by war.
Inspired utterances express regret
nt the Inability to maintain neutrality,
but say that Great Britain, the nlly of
Japan, Is compelled to defend herself
against the aggressions of Germany.
.Moreover, it is pointed out that Ger
many Is making preparations day and
night nt Klan t’hau, where it is storing
provisions, while Its warships are
scouring the seas ot eastern Asia to
the great detriment of commerce, and
that its converted crullers arc seizing
English merchant vessels. 8uch ac
tions, it Is argued, are directly calcu
lated to. disturb the peace of eastern
Asia and accordingly, after .full ami
frank communication with Great Brit
ain, Japan has found herself compel
led to send an ultimatum to Germany.
AGGRESSIVE MOVE BEGUN
French Offensive Movement Started
/flong the Line From Sarrebroug.
Paris.—Official dispatches announce
that the French offensive movement
began in great force along the line
from Sarrebroug, on the Franco-Ger
man frontier to LunoviUe, in the de
partment of Muerthe et-Moselle.
"Blamont, 17 miles east of Lune-
ville, Circy, still further east, and
Avrlcourt, occupied by a Bavarian
army corpa, were stormed by our
troops,” the announcement continues.
“The Germans are in full retreat, hav
ing left many dead, wounded and pris
oners. The French continue to ad
vance to upper Vosges, the. Germans
giving way before them. In upper
Alsace we have retaken Thann. Pris
oners affirm that General von Delm-
ling, commanding the Fifteenth army
corps at Thann, was wounded.

any way into the controversy, regard

GERMANS MOVE ON
CAPITAL OF BELGIUM
Invading Uhlans Suffer Great Loss.
Antwerp.—Stories were published
here of the frightful losses the Ger
man Uhlans, the kaiser’s finest cav
alry, have sustained since they invad
ed Belgium. Of 5000 of them who i
took part in the battle of Haelen It;
was declared only 1000 escaped alive
and unhurt.
London.—A Reuter dispatch from
Brussels says: "The seat of govern
ment has been moved to Antwerp.
Measures have been taken for the de-
tense of Brussels because of the ap-
proacb of German cavalry.”
The Belgian ministers of war, n-
nance and foreign affairs and the
French and Russian ministers to Bel-
plum have left Brussels for Antwerp.
Feinting with their right at Diest
and diverting to some extent the at
tention of the Belgian field army cen
tered on Louvain, the German were
reported as marching directly on Brus
sels by way of Huy and Jodoigne. This
raiding force is believed to consist
mainly of cavalry and artillery, in-
eluding the much-feared motor quick-
firers.
Trenches are being thrown up fev
erishly in the environs of the city,
while exhortations in large, black type
are being placarded right and left,
calling on the inhabitants for their
own sakes not to engage in any hos-
tile acts in the event of German oc-
tupation.
On the line of battle in Belgium,
Jermany and France, despite the re
peated repulses which they have suf
fered, the German battalions continue
to move forward for a decisive en
counter. The invaders are sweeping
along the valley of the Meuse, south
of Namur and have reached Dinant,
where part of a strong French force,
which is established behind that town,
took the offensive and defeated them.
