World's Greatest Conflict and Biggest Death List Seen by Strategists. RARE DISCOUNTS AEROPLANES ARE FACTORS Britain Expected to Cut Orf All Supplies From Emperor With Xavy French Well Prepared, While Russia Is Hard N'ut. VA.NCOl'VKR BARRACKS. Wash.. Aug. 5. (Special.) That the present (rlg-antlc war. now being waged in Kurope. is the greatest and will be the most disastrous in the history of the world is the opinion of a number of officers In the post. In the present crisis officers cannot express for pub lication their sentiments, as they arc under orders from the War Depart ment The strategic move for Germany to make, and one that she probably will make. Is to strike quickly in an at- I tempt to crush France, her most dan gerous combatant, at the outset, and then return to her border later to confront the Russians, who are much lower In mobilizing, officers think. Airships Play Big Part. An unknown but nevertheless Im portant factor in this war will be the dirigibles and aeroplanes. Officers high In the ranks of the United States Army realize what it would mean to r big army to have several hundred pounds of high explosive dropped from the clouds. They believe it would demoralize the soldiers and that no discipline would overcome such an at tack. On the battlefield a few well directed l.ombs dropped from a great height would stop any onslaught and even rout the Invaders, they say. With England In the conflict, her navy will guard the German coast line and prevent her from securing aid or supplies from this direction. Britain vill bombard the German seaports and may he able to defeat, if not de stroy, the German navy. While it is true that Germany has reached a stage of near-perfection in mobilization. France herself Is not so slow, as she has been fearing and preparing for Just such a war with Cermany at some time. Germany will, not defeat so easily, if at all, the French Republic as she did In 1870. When the order to mobilise is given, every citizen knows exactly what to do. and do it in a hurry. Prrirk Master Air War. France excels In her artillery and also is far superior in navigation of the air with her aeroplanes. Germany, with her admittedly supe rior mobile army, has one advantage, that of being on the Insldo of the fight ing lines. Her army is a unit. It is known that an army of defense can withstand one three times as large. Germany on one side could leave a much smaller army to guard one fron tier while she concentrated her at tack on the other, using her biggest army. By holding Russia back with the smaller army, she is apparently attempting to concentrate her forces on the French border, and to get there before France has had a chance to prepare. With the survivors, if successful In crushing France, Germany could swing against Russia on the other frontier. Old Plan I'tillsed. Germany seems intent on invading France from the north, as she did before, paying no heed to the neu trality of Belgium. This plan, from a military point of view, is held to be the safest one. unless England's being drawn Into the war will over come the advantage. Italy reiterates her neutrality. In the greater conflict between Germany on one side, and Russia, France and England on the other, the war between bervla and Austria is being forgotten. There Is a possibility that if Servia Is successful, with her allies, Austria will crease to be a nation and will be divided i;; . I. France repels Germany's attack, and wins, she may possibly extend her boundary and take Alsace and Lor raine again, which were lost in 1ST0. Of course, Japan will help England, If necessary, but she is not looked to in vade foreign territory. Russia is the safest of all the nations now engaged In the war. If beaten, the entire map of Europe will probably he changed, and where it -will all end. no man knows. This Is the situation as the officers at the barnuks see it. CANAL MACHINERY DELAYED Germans and Austrian Working at Panama Leaving Isthmus. PANAMA, Aug. 5. Natives of Ger many and Austria-Hungary subject to military duty are leaving the isthmus in considerable numbers in response to orders received here. Otherwise, the unfavorable situation In Europe has not been felt to any great ex tent on the isthmus. The war Is having no effect on the canal work beyond delaying the de livery of certain machinery ordered from Germany. The construction of two large float ing cranes may be delayed as a result of the probable departure of the Ger mans who were to erect them, but the Washington Government has been asked to request the German govern ment to permit them to remain. Four Hamburg-American line steam ers are being held at Colon pending future orders. The other ships have not been affected. A. M.

Board of Trade to Aak Owner of Fran cntse to Addrens Cltlxene Belt Llne Clause la Added. That the Portland & Oregon City Railway Company has not abandoned the East Seventeenth-street franchise for its entrance into the street from the south, and that it will build on that street if it wins the fcuit pending before Judge Morrow, was announced at the meeting of the Sellwood Board of Trade Tuesday John W. McBride reported he had received such Infor mation from Stephen Carver, owner of the franchise, a few days ago. The other franchise granted the company In Portland, said Mr. McBride, would not affect the East Seventeenth-street route which would be used mainly for passenger service, while the East Twenty-eighth-street route would be for freight. It was decided to invite Mr. Carver to attend a general meeting of citi zents in Sellwood to outline his plans. L M Lepper, acting for the East Side Business Men's Club, yesterday pre sented an amendment to the franchise to be granted Stephen Carver for the Portland & Oregon City electric line, providing for the extension of common user privileges to the city in event the municipality decides to operate a belt line over the Portland & Oregon City Company's tracks. The amendment was accepted by the Council. Commissioner Brewster favored a clause providing for the railway com pany to accept city certificates in lieu of cash for the municipality's share of the common-user privilege. tradeTltteOopeful FINANCIAL OUTLOOK DECLARED MOST ENCOURAGING.
