British Battleships Fiimn A telegram from Rome to the Ex change Telegraph Company says It Is reported from Ancona that four British battleships chased the Austrian cruisers Aurora and Szigetvar. which were blockading Antivari. The Austrian ves sels were pursued until they took refuge in the naval station at Pola. The Telegraph's Malta correspondent telegraphs the following story of the escape of the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau Into the Dardanelles: "When the Goeben and Breslau were hugging the Kalian shores a French army corps had to be transported from Africa to France. British warships al lotted the duty of warding off any In terference were assigned to a position between Italy and the line of trans portation. Goeben Save Brealan. "The German cruisers must have wondered why they were left alone, al though the plucky Bruisn cruiser Gloucester got a smack at the Breslau and might have sunk or captured her had not the big Goeben hurried to her rescue. "The operation of the transfer of the French troops being completed, a por tion of the British fleet was able to give attention to the Germans. It was learned that the Goeben and Breslau were at Syra, Greece, whither the Brit ish vessels followed them. The Ger mans, however, had hid themselves among the Cyclades and Sporades Islands of the Greek Archipelago. Ships Flee Prudently. "The British ships scattered and searched for them. The Gloucester and some destroyers got In touch with the Germans, but the Goeben and Breslau, learning they had been discovered, made a prudent flight. Believing the whole British fleet was at their heels. they avoided capture by entering the Dardanelles. It Is said the ooeben refused an opportunity offered her of single com bat with one of the big British ships.' A dispatch from Amsterdam to the Central News says tha captain of the Dutch steamship Epsllon. on his arrival at Ymuiden today, reporttd seeing a German dreadnought in the harbor at Trondhjem, which had been put out of action. Her funnels were smashed and on one side she was scarred with holes from shell Are. No confirmation of the report has reached the official- news bureau here. PRISONERS GIVE PROBLEM Thousands Already Taken and To tals May Embarrass All Powers. LONDON'. Aug. 1". A troublesome problem of the war Is likely to be the housing and guarding of prisoners. Al ready more than 5000 Germans have been captured before the battles have really begun. The Belgians are send ing a large proportion of these prison ers into France. When the big fight ing, with at least 2.000.000 men en gaged, begins, the number of prison ers probably will run into vast and embarrassing totals on both sides. There will be exchanges of prison eraj but these are not always easy to i.rrange. Another difficulty is expect ed In the matter of the commissariat for unprecedently large armies. The Germans are even now confronted with this gigantic task. DUTCH FIND GERMAN BOAT Cruiser Kitrlsruhe Abandons Craft When -Surprised by British. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.

SWITZERLAND FRANCE GERMANY SERVIA RUSSIA AUSTRO-HUNGARY MONTENEGRO ENGLAND BELGIUM TRUST BILL FIGHT ON MAKING DECREE OF DISSOLUTIONS EVIDENCE IS ATTACKED. Senator Walsh Leads Debate for Giving Benefits of Government Verdicts to Private Persons Who Sue. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. The first fight in the Senate on the Clayton anti-trust bill began In earnest today over the question of giving to private parties bringing damage suits against a trust the benefit of decrees won by the Government in successful dissolu tion suits against the same combines. Consideration of the bill had been simplified by striking out the sections forbld-ding price discrimination and ex clusive contracts. This was done by Senator Culberson at the direction of the Judiciary committee, so that these subjects might be dealt with exclu sively In the trade commission bill now in conference. Senator Welsh, of Montana, led the debate in favor of making a decree, won by the Government in a dissolu tion suit conclusive as to all facts and law In Issue In private suits for dam ages. The House bill contained such a provision, but the Senate judiciary committee, doubting its constitution War, (Right). Frenchman d h Soldier, en Route to EmbarW for Fr ration of War. ality, changed it so as to allow the trust to Introduce additional evidence and have the points of law reconsid ered. Senator Chilton argued that in the endeavor "to put teeth'' into the leg islation there was danger of depriv ing persons of their right to be heard, and Senator Borah suggested that the principle of equal protection of the law to all was violated. The bill was laid aside before a final vote was taken, but in perfect ing the committee amendment the Sen ate voted to make the "prima facie" value to be given dissolution decrees apply to decrees hitherto entered. This was done by a vote of 24 to 23, Vice President Marshall breaking a tie. FLOOD DAMAGE IN ALASKA Constant Rain for Week Causes Tanana River to Overflow. FAIRBANKS. Alaska, Aug. 17.
