Admiralty Notifies Public First Xews

and No Illusions as to
Outcome Are Fostered.
LONDON', Aug. 6.-11:50 P. M. The
passage of a war budget for $500,000,000
In the House of Commons today with
out a dissenting voice a'nd the granting
of an army increase of 500.000 men. in
accordance with the plan of Lord
Kitchener, the new Minister of War,
shows that Great Britain is in deadly
earnest.
A call to arms issued by the War
Office tonight says an addition of 100.
000 men to the regular army is needed
immediately, and that "Lord Kitchener
is confident this appeal will at once
be responded to by all who have the
safety of our empire at heart."
Asre Limit la 10 to 30.

Is to be three years, or until the war J
is ended. The age of enlistment will
be between 19 and 30.
The naval estimates provide for 67,
000 additional officers and men, which
will make the navy's strength 218,000
men.
There are no illusions in England
that the war Is certain to be a swift
and decisive one. The people are
steeled for a long and exhaustive
struggle.
The Admiralty notified the public to
night that the first news from the navy
micht not be good news. Swift upon
the heels of this intimation came the
tidings that the cruiser Amphion had
been sunk by a mine, with a loss of an
officer and 130 men Great Britain's
first sacrifice to the war.
It is considered that British ships in
the North Sea are running greater risks
during the first days of the war.
The royal family shares with the
homes of its many subjects the sus
pense of waiting for news of the fate
of the different units of the fleet.
Prince Albert the Second, son of the
King, aboard the battleship Colling
wood. is one of the many boy mid
shipmen afloat sharing the perils of
their elders.
Feud la Burled.
T'r. re was a dramatic incident in
the House of Commons when the feud
between Lord Charles Beresford and
Winston Spencer Churchill, the First
Lord of the Admiralty, was buried. Ad
miral Beresford shook hands with the
First Lord and said:
"Well done."
The torpedo-boat destroyer Lance,
wh!?h sent the Hamburg-American line
steamer Koenigen Luise to the bot
tom with four shots, only came out of
the shipyards last Saturday.
Londoners had the first realization
of war brought home to them tonight
when hundreds of commuters who were
taking their trains at the Victoria sta
tion were surprised to see 85 German
prisoners guarded by a file of the West
Kent regiment with fixed bayonets.
The Germans were naval reservists
who had been taken from their ships
and made prisoners of war. A goodly
number of naval reservists and also
some German army reservists who
were attempting to proceed to Germany
were gathered in by the authorities
today.
Some persons in the crowd in the
station, thinking the Germans spies,
began to hiss them. The demonstra
tion was quickly silenced by cries of
"shame."
The Germans seemed wholly recon
ciled to their fate and on the best
terms with their captors.
Several more persons supposed to be
spies were arrested today in different
parts of England.
JAPS EYE GERMANY'S FOHT
Attack on Tting-Tau by 10,000
Planned, Says Official.
SHANGHAI, Aug-6. An official of
the Japanese Consulate said today that
upon receipt of the first official news
of the beginning of the clash of arms
between England and Germany, Japan
would send a fleet of 10,000 men to at
tack Tsing-Tau and 10,000 more to re
lieve the British garrisons at Tien
Tsin and Pekin. Preparations for such
action are now under way, he said.
Two British regiments, the Glouces
tersbires and the South Wales Border
ers, stationed at Tien Tsin, have been
ordered south.' They are awaiting the
arrival of transports. An Indian regi
ment of Punjabis will remain at Tien
Tsin.
Beports that revolutionaries in China
are showing signs of activity focus at
tention in Tokio. Japanese advices say.
It is feared there the European war
will Inspire an outbreak in China.
German officials at Tokio deny a re

chantmen in the Yellow Sea.
SHIP SALE LEGAL, IS VIEW
Neutrality Xot Violated in Subma
rine Matter, Says Attorney.
There lias been no violation of neu
trality through the purchase of two
submarines at Seattle, built for the
Chilian government, by the Canadian
government, as the sale took place in
advance of the proclamation of Presi
dent Wilson, which was made public
cilnesday, according to W. C. Bristol,
a Portland attorney.
Mr. Bristol said the Canadian gov
ernment, while virtually under the rule
of Great Britain, is Independent in a
way. and can purchase vessels or other
war equipment where the sees fit, but
had the sale been consummated, with
Americans having part, after President
Wilson's proclamation, the law would
have been violated.

RAINBOW STEAMS SOUTH
Men-o'-War Now Off West Coast of
United States Not of First Class
but Engagement Is Fear
of Shippers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 6.
(Special.) Six shins of war, flying the
flags of Germany, England and Japan,
are drawing together somewhere off
the Pacific Coast and reports of a na-
vnl h.ntte between these battleships are
momentarily expected here. Shipping
circles are alarmed tor tne saieiy 01
merchant ships which are now on tne
Pacific waters.
Word was received here this morn
ing that the German cruiser Leipzig
left Mazatlan on tne evening of August
3, with all lights extinguished and un
der forced draft. The destination of
the cruiser is not known, but it is be-
lleved that the vessel set out to meet
the German cruiser Nurnberg. which is
said to be headed for the main coast.
Rainbow Steam South.
The British cruiser Rainbow, which
has been stationed at Esquimalt naval
station, is reported today to be steam-
ins south. This cruiser Is armored
and is the best equipped English war
ship on this Coast. The British ships
of war Shearwater and Algerine left
San Diego Monday and it Is Denevea
that thev will bo joined in the course
of a day by the Rainbow. The Shear
water and Algerine are antique vessels.
The Japanese cruiser Idzuma is re
ported oft the Mexican coast and. it is
believed that if the German cruisers
Leipzig and Nurnberg attack tne small
English war vessels, the Idzuma will
take hand in the conflict against the
German cruisers. The Idzuma carries
the heaviest armament of tne group.
No wireless messages have been re
ceived here in the last few days from
any of the trans-Pacific steamers, which
are nearly all sailing unuer me dhi
ish flag, and it is believed that the
captains of the vessels have heard of
the German cruisers being in the vicin-
tv and have retrained from senainB
out anv reports for fear that their ves
sels will be seized. Two Oriental
liners are due to arrive here tomorrow.

to the German army and navy, in which
he says:
"After 43 years of peace I call upon
all Germans capable of bearing arms.
We have to defend our most sacred
possessions in fatherland and home
against the reckless assaults of ene
mies on all sides of us.
"That means hard fighting. I am
confident that the ancient warlike
spirit still lives in the German people
that powerful, warlike spirit which
attacks the enemy wherever it finds
him, regardless of cost, and which in
the past has been the dread and terror
of our enemies.
"I have confidence in you. German

ardent, indomitable will for victory is
living in each and all of you. I know,
if nee'ded, each and all of you would

COTTON ALARM SCOUTED
UNITED STATES CAST USE ENTIRE
SUPPLY, SAYS BANKER.
A. Barton Hepburn Telegraphs Con
Kress That Nation Haa Beat
Chance to Hold Trade.
NEW YORK. Aug. 6. A. Barton Hep
burn, chairman of the board of direc
tors of the Chase National Bank, has
sent the following telegram to Repre
sentative Underwood at Washington:
"The South is unnecessarily alarmed
over the prospective reduction in the
demand for and the price of cotton, in
view of the general European war.
European manufacturers may not re
quire' the usual amount of cotton, but
American manufacturers will require
it all.
"It is inevitable that all over-sea
trade of Germany will be at the mercy
of any nation which first seeks it and
can best serve the former patrons of
Germany. Of all nations the United
States is in the best position to take
and hold the trade. Merchants, man
ufacturers, bankers and statesmen
should work together tor that purpose.
"First liberalize our ehlpping laws.
Germany supplied the coarse and
cheaper cotton trade of Mexico and
Central and South America, Africa,
Asia and the Orient generally.
"There will no embargo on the com
merce of the Pacific. Our cotton should
go abroad, not as raw material, but as
a finished product, and when the war
of Europe is over we should hold large
ly the trade that now is waiting to fall
into our hands."

NEW YORK. Aug. 6. (Special.) The
hardship of war will oblige the
Duchess of Marlborough and other
titled and wealthy persons to travel
second-class to reacn England. The
Duchess will leave on board the St.
Paul of the American line tomorrow.
Several months ago the American
line abolished all first and third cabins,
leaving only second-class and steer
age. Afraid to attempt the perilous trip
across the Atlantic on board any of
the vessels flying flags of the warring
nations, those who leave tomorrow de
cided they would prefer to suffer the
inconvenience of going second cabin,
with the certainty of reaching their

Among those who will leave by the
St Paul are Lady Granard, Lord
Nunburnholme, who arrived only a few
days ago aboard the Olympic, and Sir
Arthur and Lady Downs.

Premier in House Asks All Re
sources to Rally.
GERMANY HELD INFAMOUS
To Have Neglected Belgium Would
Have Covered Nation With Dis
honor, He Says Conflict
Entered Clean-Handed.
LONDON, Aug. 6. Premier Asquith
today asked the House of Commons to
vote an additional war credit of JB00.
000,000, which was done later, and in
formed the members that Field Marshal
Earl Kitchener wanted power to in
crease the British army to 500,000. On
the War Minister's behalf the Premier
asked the House to consent to this.
Premier Asquith told the House that
the White paper issued by the govern
ment showed how strenuous . and un
remitting had been the efforts of Sir
Edward Grey, the British Foreign Sec
retary, to secure for Europe an honor
able and lasting peace.
Propoaal Held Infamous.
After reading Sir Edward Goschen's
dispatch saying that Germany had made
"a strong bid for British neutrality,"
the Premier remarked that Germany's
suggestion amounted to "the Infamous
proposal that we should give her a
free hand to annex the whole of the
extra-European possessions of France."
He continued:
"If Great Britain had accepted, what
reply could she have made to the Bel
gians' appeal? She could only have re
plied that we had bartered away to the
power threatening her our obligations
to keep our plighted word. What would
have been Great Britain's position if
she assented to this Infamous proposal,
and what was she to get in return?
Nothing but a promise given by a power
which at that moment was announcing
its intention of violating its own treaty.
War Forced, He Saya.
"We should have covered ourselves
with dishonor and betrayed the inter
ests of our country if we had accepted
it. We are entitled to say for our coun
try that we have made every effort for
peace and that war has .been forced on
our countryi
"The government is confident that
the nation is unsheathing sword in a
Just cause. We are fighting, firstly, to
fulfill international obligations. whicTi,
if entered into by private Individuals,
no self-respecting man could have re
pdiated and. secondly, to vindicate the
principle that small nations were not
to be crushed in defiance of interna
tional good faith at the arbitrary will
of a strong and overmastering power.
"No nation never entered into a great
contest with a cleaner conscience or a
stronger conviction. It is striking for
the defense of a principle, the mainte
nance of which is the vital civilization
of the world. As we have entered the
struggle let us now make sure that all
our resources, not only those of the
United Kingdom, but those of the vast
empire of which it is the center, are
thrown into the scale." f
Kitchener Non-Polltlcal.
The Premier made a brief reference
to the appointment of Field Marshal
Kitchener as Secretary of War. He.
said Earl Kitchener's connection with
the Government did not identify him
with any political party. In a great
public emergency he had responded to
a great public call and he would have
in the discharge of his most arduous
task the complete confidence of all.
In behalf of Lord Kitchener, the
Premier asked power to increase the
army by not less than 500,000 men.
"I am encouraged to ask this," he
said, "not only by reason of our own
sense of the gravity of the circum
stances, but by the knowledge that
India is prepared to send us two di
visions, and every one of the self-governing
dominions has spontaneously
tendered to the utmost limits of its
possibility, both in men and money, all
the help it can afford the empire. The
mother country must set an example,
while at the same time responding
with gratitude and affection to the
filial overtures of the outlying mem
bers of the family."

Word comes from Tacoma that the
Grace liner Colusais due to start load
ing flour there today after having been
drydocked at Seattle. The vessel will
be here about Monday to take on
more freight for ports along the West
Coast of South America.
Captain E. J. Minister, formerly
master of the Colusa, but who was suc
ceeded by Captain Lobez and is skipper
of the British steamer Cetriana, Is
thought, by his friends, to be in a
predicament as he left San Francisco
with his ship July 24 with a coal
cargo that was to be delivered along
side the German cruiser Lelpsic off
Mazatlan. As war between Germany
and England was declared since and
Captain Minister is a lieutenant in the
Royal Naval Reserves, friends are
wondering what will be his feelings
when he learns that he Is carrying fuel
for his country's most bitter enemy.
WESTERN PACIFIC WARNED
Denver & Rio Grande Chafes Over
Paying Its Interest.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Directors of
the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad or
dered today payment of semi-annual In
terest of 2 per cent on the first mort
gage bonds of thjfcfWestern Pacific Rail
way Company, which it controls.
Earnings of Western Pacific were not
sufficient to meet the amount required,
but the Denver & Rio Grande directors
voted to make up the deficit.
In a statement explaining their action
the directors said that if the Denver &
R1o Grande is to continue its support
of the Western Pacific some plan of
readjusting the lattcr's finances and
general relations with the controlling
road must be devised.
FINANCIAL EASE REPORTED
Bankers Expect Resumption of Busi
ness on Normal Basis In Few Days.
The Portland Clearing-House Asso
ciation met just long enough yesterday
for its members to say hello to each
other, and adjourn indefinitely. The
next meeting is subject to call of Presi
dent Mills.
With business fast resuming its nor
mal proportions and all news from other
financial centers of the most reassuring
nature, there was nothing for the meet
ing to do. One telegram from St. Paul,
received by President Mills, was to the
efTect that the tension in the financial
situation was so much eased oft" that
in a few days business in St. Paul and
the country in general would be en
tirely normal.
PEOPLE WITH THIN BLOOD
Some people have a tendency to be
come thin-blooded just as others ha"e
an inherited tendency to rheumatism,
or to nervous disorders. The condition
in which the blood becomes so thin that
the whole body suffers comes on so
gradually and stealthily that anyone
with a natural disposition :n that direc
tion should watch the symptoms care
fully. Bloodlessness. or anaemia, as the
medical term Is, can be corrected much
more easily In the earlier stages than
later. It begins with a tired feeling
that rest does not overcome, tne com
plexion becomes pale, and breathless
ness on slight exertion, such as going
up stairs, is noticed.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home
remedy that has been most successful
In the treatment of diseases caused by
thin blood. With pure air and whole
some food these blood - making pills
afford the correct treatment when the
symptoms described are noticed. A
former sufferer from anaemia says: "I
was emaciated and did not have a par
Ucle of color. I had severe headaches,
had no ambition and could just drag
around." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
quickly restored appetite, flesh and
health. A full statement of this case
with directions regarding diet will be
found in the booklet "Building Up the
Blood," sent free by the Dr. Williams
