— Lone tfcnvily in HOPE OF PEACE Germans Attack Upon Relpians ]^ ort // west market ENGLAND TO WAR reports . IN MEXICO CONE WITH GERMANY Carranza Must Fight Way to Capital and Control. Federal Army of 25.000 Ready for Claah und Míe Hquipmtnt lla.i Hern Received. M«xi«'«i City All hup«1 for pea«'« b«- twecn the fcdural* utxl the constitu tionalist* is now apparently gone. Th« war parly al th» capital is in control and la being backed by Provis ional Preaidenl Carbajal, and unless concession* are made, General t'ar- rants, it seems, most fight his way into the capital and to power. General Medina Baron wax Thursday ap|M>int<sl commander in chief of the federal forces in the capital. “We have 25,000 men, 25 field pieces, 100 machine guns and plenty of ammunition,” a prominent army offi cial said. "We are prepared to resist to the end unless ample guarantees are given us. If we must tight it will be one of the greatest battles of the revo lution, for it will take place on the plain and with none of the familiar cover offered by mountain fighting. Every officer in the federal army is prepared to die in defense of the* lives and property of the inhabitants of the capital. ” General Enrique Rivero, General Joa quin Jiminez Castro and General Angel Garcia Conde are in command, respect ively, of the infantry, cavalry and ar tillery brigades. If a battle is fought it is believed it will lake place in the vicinity of Tlale- pantla, eight miles north of the cap ital. The federal advance guard, con sisting of 7000 men of all arms, is facing the constitutionalists at Teolo- yucan, 15 miles north of Tlalepantla. The factories here are turning out 00,000 cartridges daily. In addition there are 1000 stands of new Japanese rilles and 3000 Spanish rifles in the armory at Ciudadela, a western suburb of the city, and also the arms brought to Mexico recently by the steamer Y piranga. In case of h battle the federal* will endeavor to hold all of Mexico south of the capital. Shippinfi of Crops to Re Subject of Conference Washington, I). C. Confronted with the problem of disposing of the coun try's enormous grain ami cotton crojw, the administration made plans for a conference in Washington next week of representatives of the leading ship ping interests and foreign exchange bankers. The bankers have bee* asked to come to Washington to formulate plMns for n resumption of the international exchange market and restore the use of international bills of exchange. In announcing the conference call Secretary McAdoo said: "It Is of vital importance to the country that two things be done as quickly as possible; first, provide ships to move our grain and cotton crop* to European markets; the second, restore through the bankers the market for foreign bills of exchange. "Grain is a very pressing problem at the moment, la-cause the cro|xi have been largely harvested and the move ment is already well under way. The cotton movement is not so advanced and will not be for a few weeks. It is my purpose to invite a conference on the subject of cotton to be held at an early date, of which announcement will be made later. These are important questions for the American people and every possible effort will be made by the administration to co operate in the movement of these crops.” The senate again failed to pass the amendment to the Panama canal act admitting to American register for eign-built shijm less than five years old. Some opjx/sition devclojted, Sen ators Simmons and Williams. Demo crats, attacking the plan as dangerous and inadequate to meet the situation. Senator Newland* introduced an amendment to the bill, renewing an effort made several years ago, which would authorize the government to provide for construction in private or government yards of 30 vessels to be used ns auxiliary ships to the navy mail lines as might hereafter be pro vided. Th«- proposed ships will be not to exceed in aggregate cost $30,000,- 000, not. more than six ships to be built in any on«' year, $0,000,000 to be expended the current year. Brussels, via Paris, Thursday A. M. SeveraPthouaand d«u«l an«] wounded is the toll paid by the German army of the Meuse for its attack on Liege. The Belgians made a heroic defense, repulsing the Germans after heavy and continuous fighting. The fortified |H«ition of Liege had to support the general shock of the German attack. The Belgian forts resisted the ad- vance fiercely an«l did not suffer. One Belgian squadron attacked and drove back six German squadrons. One hundre«! wound««! Germans are being transferred to the City of Liege, where they will be cared for. Between 500 and 000 wounded Ger mans are being brought to the Belgian capital. Herve, Peppinster and Re- moucharnpa are occupied by Germans, but a large Belgian force is advancing against them. A mesaage to the Standard from Namur, Belgium, reports that 20 or 30 l>eraona were killed during the German bombardment of that place. A Ixindon crirr«s;s>ndent at Liege sends a story of a duel betweun a Bel gian aviator named Fornau and a Ger man airman. The two exchanged re volver shots while maneuvering for the top position. Finally both planed to the ground. General Linaer In an official report of his operation* in the Liege district, Hlates that in Wc«incsday'a battle 25,- 000 Belgians were engaged against 40,000 Germans. The success of the Belgians was complete. Every attack of the Germans along their extended front was repul*ed, the German Sev enth army cor|a> retreating into Dutch territory. Prior to the attack on Liege, Gen eral von Emmich, commanding the German army of the Meuse, issued a proclamation calling for an open roa«l through Belgium for the advance of his forces and suggesting that pru dence would show it to be the duty of the Belgian fa-ople to accede to thia, in order to avoid the horrors of war. The Germans committed repressions against the civil |xq>ulation of the town of Vise, eight miles northeast of Liege, burning the city and shooting many of the residents. General von Emmich’s proclamation to the Belgian people follows: "To my great regret the German troops have been forced to cross the frontier, Belgian neutrality already having been violated by French offi cers, who, disguised, entered the coun try in automobiles. Our greatest de sire is to avoid a conflict la-tween peo ple who have always been friends and once allies. Remember Waterloo, where the German armies helped to found your country's independence! "But we must hav^- free passage. The destructi«>n of bridges, tunnels or railroads must la- considered as hostile acts. I hope the German army of the Meuse will not be called upon to fight you. We wish for an open road to at tack those who attack us. I guaran tee that the Belgian population will not have to suffer the horrors of war. We will pay for provisions and our sol diers will sh«>w themselves to be the best of friends of a people for whom we have the greatest esteem and the deepest sympathy. "Your prudence and patriotism will show you that it is your duty to pre vent your country from being plunged into the horrors of war.” JAPAN MAY STRIKE BLOW AT FAR EAST POSSESSIONS Shanghai- An official of the Japan ese consulate said Thursday that upon receipt of the first official news of the beginning of the clash of arms be tween England and Germany, Japan would send a fleet with 10,000 men to attack Tsing Tau ami 10,000 more to relieve the British garrisons at Tien Tain and Pekin. Preparations for such action are now under way, he said. _____ Tokio Reports that revolutionaries in China are showing signs of activity focus attention here. It is feare«i the Euro]«ean war will inspire an outbreak in China. German Aircraft Winged. London -The Dnily Mail’s corres pondent at Brussels reports that a Ger man aeroplane, flying at a height of 1500 feet, was brought down by a shot which also wounded the pilot.

Portlaml — Only a small amount of local business la under way In the grain market, The wh« at export idtu- ation showed no improvement. In fact was worse than ever, ami shippers de cline to predict when there may be a change for the better, or how it is to be brought about. The lieing up of the Oriental trade has also closed any possible outlet in that direction. Wheat prires are nominal. In some quarters club is quoted around Hl or 82 cents, and by other dealers at 84 cents. No considerable quantity could be purchased at the lower figures and not much is wanted. The barley market is sluggish and weak. The export barley trade is in tne same [xxiition a* the wheat trade. Prices of both feed and brewing are nominal. December barley was quoted 2 cents lower at 97 cents at San Fran cisco. The oats market was also in active. Much grain hay from the valley is being put on the market. Owing to the lack of warehouse room in the country, growers are forcing sale here at prices offered by dealers. Eastern Oregon timothy will begin moving in about two weeks. Wheat — Track prices: Club, Hird) 84c per bushel; other grades nominal. Millfeed —Bran, $230/23.50 per ton; shorts, $26«/,26.50; middlings, $31. Oats — No. 1 white, $21; gray, $20 per ton.

Hay Old timothy, $160/17; new crop timothy, $13«/15; grain hay, $8 «/10; alfalfa. $11«/12. Corn—Whole, $35; cracked, $36 per ton. Egg receipts are again declining, and this should soon affect the market. At the present time trade is slow and former prices are in force. Arrivals of poultry are not large, but sufficient, liens sold at 18)«zl4 cents and springs were quote«! at a wide range of 13 to 16 cents, accord ing to size. Dressed meats were in small supply and prices were firm with an upward tendency. No changes were reported in the butter or cheese markets. Eggs — Fresh Oregon ranch, case count, 23«/23)c; candled, 25«/26c. Poultry—Hens, 13)«/14cper pound; springs, 13«/16c; turkeys, 20c; dress ed, choice, 22c; ducks, 10 «/ lie; geese, 10c. Butter — Creamery prints, extras, 28«/30c per pound; cubes, 24c. The run of stock over Sunday was one of the largest the North Portland yards has ever had, amounting to 101 cars. Cattle receipts were unusually heavy, and as a result the market case«i off from last week’/i high level, but the weakness is believed only tem porary. The bulk of the selling was in the cattle division. About 50 carloads of steers were sold and the best price realized was $7.50. The bulk of sales were at $7 to $7.35. Cattle — Prime steers $7.25«/7.50; choice, $6.75«/,7; medium, $6.25 «£ 6.50; choice cows, $6«/6.25; medium, $5.50 «/ 5.75; heifers, $6.25 «/ 6.50; calves, $6«/8.25; bulls, $3«/5; stags. $4.50«/. 6.

Seattle—Chickens are a bane on the market, while fresh butter and fresh local eggs are comparatively scarce, This is not unusual at this season of the year, and it is likely that a slight advance in both of these comm«xlities will be announced during the week. So overstocked is the market with chickens of all kinds and descriptions that the packers are the only ones paying go«xl prices. According to one merchant, fresh butter and fresh local eggs are at a premium. The price of butter so far is standing at 28c for Washington creamery and 29c for bricks. Eggs, fresh l^-als, at this time last year were on th advance ami a simi- lar conditionis | »dicted for this week unless a supply mes in. The demand seems to hold fit i according to var- ious merchants a mg the row. Eggs- Select 1 nch, 30c per dozen; Chinese, 18c; 1 astern Aprils, 28c; local Aprils, 28«/. 9c.

Formal Declaration Made Be tween Two Great Powers. — Germany’» Summary Rejection of England'• Neutrality Request Krings On Final Crash. Berlin Shortly after 7 o’clock Tues day evening Sir William Edward Go*- chen, the British ambassador, went to the foreign office and announced that Britian had declared war with Ger many. He then demanded his pass ports. Ix/ndon— Great Britain declared war on Germany Tuesday night. The momentous decision of the Brit- lab government, for which the whole ! world had been waiting, carne before the expiration of the time limit set by ’ Great Britain in her ultimatum to' Germany demanding a satisfactory re ply on the subject of Belgian neutral ity Germany's reply was the summary rejection of the request that Belgian neutrality should be respected. The British ambassador at Berlin thereupon received his pass[x>rts and the British government notifnsd Ger-' many that a state of war existed be tween the two countries. The British foreign office has issued the following statement: “Owing to the summary rejection by the German government of the re- I quest made by His Britannia Majesty’s government that the neutrality of Bel gium should be respected, his majes ty's ambassador at Berlin has received his pa«8[xjrtH. and his majesty’s gov ernment has declared to the German government that a state of war exists between Great Britain and Germany from 11 o’clock p. m.. August 4.” Ail Europe is now in arms. On the one hand Autria-Hungary and Ger Russia, France many are opposed by ~ and Great Britain, Servia and Mon- tenegro. Italy has declared her neutrality, but is mobilizing. ~ Belgium, Holland and Switzerland have mobilized. The German demand that the Bel gium government shall permit the free passage of German troops through Bel gium was answered by hasty prepara tions to resist such an advance across Belgian territory. American Tourists Caught in Europe Are Panicky London There were more Ameri cans in the West End of London than Englishmen. They were chiefly crowd ed about the offices of the American Express company and of the steamship lines, trying to get checks cashed and obtain passage home. Individual Americans are helping their fellow countrymen by making advances of money to enable them to tide over their temporary inconven iences. Herbert C. Hoover, a Californian, opened an office in the American con sulate ami advanced amounts of $25 and upward to persons unable to get money by other means. Altogether Mr. Hoover gave assistance to 300 Americans who were absolutely with out cash, and announced that he would continue to aid them as long as his currency lasts. Many Americans tell pitiful tales of trials on their flight from the Conti-■ nent. Those from Paris and nearer | points ha«i a bad enough time, but1 those who had to come from Germany or places even more remote were , forced to . go several days without sleep and in i some instances without food. One self-reliant woman related how she and her daughter, with only a sov- eriegn (about $5) between them, made their way to England from Prussia. They traveled by train and steamer and finally reached here, tired and ex hausted. sketched and much talked- of costume, worn at the Chantilly A races, MUCH is pictured at the left of the snapshot photograph which appears here. It is in black satin with the longest of white lace tunics over it , and a black satin coat With the : same color combination, used in re verse order, is a costume of white satin with overdrape of black Jace, at the right of the picture. A throng of people attend these meets for the sole purpose of staging costumes in the most effective of set tings. These people demonstrate the modes and launch new styles. They 1 form the centers of attraction for that greater throng that is in attendance for the purpose of looking at them. The handsome costume which caused so many modistes to take no tice and so many artists to level cam eras or ply pencils, is chiefly remark able for the oddity of the lace of which the tunic is made. Patterned after an old idea, modern lace, show ing figures on a net ground, was used for this tunic. But the figures are distinctly up to date, showing girls in sweeping draperies and graceful out lines encircling the tunic near the bot tom. The figures and draperies are cleverly outlined with run-in threads and they, with the garlands of flowers and other figures, are brought out in a cameo-like relief by the underskirt of black satin. The coat is not allowed to distract the attention from this clever posing of odd lace. It is entirely plain, but quite original in cut. The hat is of black satin with two extravagantly long Numidi feathers sweeping be yond the brim edge. The attention of the seeker for new styles having been seized by this novel gown, he notes its details to find new features worth remember ing. First, its simplicity; then the extra length of tunic and width of pet ticoat: and most noticeable, the wide hat brim, which is a radical new de parture. It is not often that anything so striking is at the same time so ele gant. The combination of black and white makes this possible. The second gown is hardly less noteworthy and only a shade less orig inal. The tunic is of black net, hav ing an insert of lace wrought in and a border of very wide velvet ribbon above the hem. It is set on to the bodice of black net by a band of black velvet The long sleeves are of net and lace in black. There is that orig inal touch which means everything in the really gorgeous embroidery in white figures which ornaments the net bodice. The white feather turban worn with this costume is a prominent feature in styles of the hour. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Coming Changes in Hairdressing Styles FOREIGN SHIPPING IN NEW YORK HARBOR FEARS FOES New York — With war formally de clared between England and Germany there was keen interest in marine cir cles here regarding the movement of trans-Atlantic steamships, particularly the German liners, which are scurry ing to port to avoid possible capture by warships of hostile nations. The presence of six warships—three German, two English and one French —in the vicinity of Sandy H«x>k has been reported. The ships have been in Southern waters and are believed to be waiting in the Northern latitude so as to be nearer home should they be called. Road» Refuse Export». Portland, Or. — All shipments of freight for export by the Hamburg- American ami North German Lloyd steamship lines were placed under em bargo Wednesday. The order takes effect at once and means that no more freight will be accepted by the North Bank roads centering in Portlaml for export points reached by those steam ships. The order was transmitted by the superintendent of telegraph for the Spokane, Portland & Seattle road. Steamship agents continue to book passages to the British Isles. Jack Johnson Would War. Paris—Jack Johnson, the pugilist, has handed over his automobiles to the government and asked leave to enlist in the French army. AT brims are growing wider and modistes foretell a vogue for large H hats, to begin with the fall season. Large hats and small, simple coiffures do not harmonize, and already the light puff for filling out the coiffure has made its appearance. We have also to consider small hair« nplls or pads for supporting the hair, and coiffures are quite generally dressed in waves. These are the wavelets that are breaking upon a new shore line in hairdressing, speaking figura tively; they are foretelling a rising tide of favor for more display in the management of the hair. The coiffure Bhown here pictures the hair parted at one side and waved in smooth, reg ular undulations. There is a short lock at the front arranged in a light curl. Some of the new styles show two very precise ringlets, one on each side of a middle part. For this style the hair is also waved, but more loose ly. and the coil is arranged lower on the neck. Long, light puffs help out in build ing up a coiffure and a few of them, arranged about a coil, make the new styles easy to accomplish. The coiffure arranged on top of the head, with the hair combed back from the face Is liked by the younger Aomen. Only a few curls about the face relieve the plainness of this style» but a mass of hair piled on top of the head makes a piquant arrangement suited to youthful faces. Puffs and short curls are becomln/f to everyone and look as well on grand mama as on her daughter and daugh ter’s daughter. They are most suc cessful when made separately and pinned on. for they can be easily dressed and placed wherever needed. There is no very good reason why one should not borrow the charm that belongs to them unless a prejudice against wearing separate pieces ot hair can be construed as reasonable. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Washable Tango Girdle*. Have you seen the new washable tango girdles? They are made ot mercerized poplin, embroidered in white or colors, if preferred. They are passed twice around the waist and finished with two embroidered end* which hang at the side. Peacock feather* are now being glided before they are poised on hat* of gold or blue hemp. .
