PAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 30. Japanese

I.. . n.it of advice to Japanese resi
d-nts in America, which was Issued by
the Japanese Association ot America,
It rf-nds: .
"Japanese should endeavor to avoid
heated talks and discussions with Eu
ropeans and Americans on the war sit
uation.
"In California there is a large pop
ulation of German subjects and special
eare should be taken in your attitude
toward them.
"Japanese should refrain from con-
Tersatlons and actions which might
tend to excite the sentiment of Euro
peans and Americans.
"As the United States declared neu
trallty, Japanese in America should
recognize and bind themselves to the
neutrality obligations. Outside of the
necessary and proper support of their
motlier country, they should not give
any support or assistance to any of
the belligerents."
WAR DOUBLES TIN PRICE
Cnlted States Now Has Chance to
Refine Bolivian Ore.
The outbreak of the European war
has caused the New York price of tin
to rise to 65 cents a pound, although
in the latter part of July tin was sold
as low as 30.5 cents a pound. None of
the European countries make a pro
duction which would greatly affect
market values, and the disturbance of
price is due mostly to the Insecurity of
ocean freights which are carried very
largely in English or German bottoms
The known American tin deposits are
email, and production from them prob
ajjly will not be much affected by the
exceedingly high prices if tTiese are
temporary. However, the operators
now working tin deposits may reap a
profit if they can market their ores be
fore the drop in prices that is sure to
come.
The benefit which Is seems possible
to get out of the present situation is in
the establishment of a tin smelter in
the United States in which to smelt
Bolivian tin ores and such small lota
of American ore as are produced.

PARIS, Aug. 23. Among the prison

135th German Infantry, whose company
had sustained severe losses at the
hands of French troops and had been

to disarm the Germans, the latter sep

behind and which poured a murderous
fire into the ranks of the advancing

FOOD ISSUE FIRST
Starvation of England Means
Abject Surrender.
NATION HAS NO SURPLUS
"Englishmen Will Have to Work
Long Hours for Low Wages If
Enemy Trlnmphs," Member of
Parliament Warns People.
LONDON. Aug. 14. The food ques
tion overshadows almost every other
consideration in the European war. As
far as England is concerned, it was
pointed out two years ago by George
Renwick, a member of Parliament,
in a speech before the Royal United
Service Institution that the United
Kingdom never had on hand more than
six weeks', suppllea of wheat and flow
or more than two weeks' supplies of
meat. He said that these were peril
ously small stocks to have in reserve-
and advised that the navy put itself
in position to guarantee protection to
the British merchant marine.
"An increase of only 5 pounds a
quarter 640 pounds) in the wheat we
use." he said, "means tne price oi
about 12 dreadnoughts or first-class
cruisers, which are. after all, the
cheapest and best instruments for in
suring free navigation. Britain has
had undisputed command ot tne sea
for 100 years but now other nations
are challenging her supremacy.
No Surplus Supplies on Hand.
"Owing to the facility with which
cargoes can now be brougnt to our
shores in times of peace large surplus
supplies are no longer kept in stock,
as was formerly the case. Any in
terruption of these supplies, as has
been vividly shown during the sailors'
nd railroad mens strikes, wnicn
lasted only a few days, would soon
bring our people to the verge of star
vation. This question is a mater of
life and death to our country.
Lord Ellenborough on this occasion
added: "The starvation of England
means abject surrender. The poor win
lose their freedom; the rich will lose
their wealth. In future Englishmen
will have to work for long hours and
low wages, and the conditions of peace
should the enemy trlump would be
such as to leave It open to the other
belligerents to threaten ua a second
time with starvation. Parts of Essex
and Kent would be turned Into an Al
sace and Lorraine."
With England annually doing a
world trading business amounting to
$5,442,055,000 and Importing grain and
flour to the extent of $360,040,000 each
year the importance of her merchant
marine Is easily seen. Tet as the war
progresses fewer and fewer shipown
ers will be found to undertake traf
fic In spite of the risks of war.
Restaurant Prices Not Yet Higher.
Restaurant prices have not advanced
yet. and every kind of rood is stni
abundant. The newspapers are urging
all householders not to embarrass the
tradesmen by ordering unusual sup
plies. Inquiries from leading American re
tailers show the following advances
in prices Saturday, compared to two
weeks ago: Bacon, from 19 cents to
33 cents; steaks, prime, 27 cents to
39 cents; cheese, no change; eggs, new
laid 40 cents to 62 cents dozen; eggs,
Imported, 33 cents to 50 cents; hams,

far in excess of anything suffered by
us, were inflicted on the enemy, who.
in dense formation and in enormous
masses, marched forward again and
again to storm the British lines.
"The British retirement proceeded on

the 25th with continuous fighting, al
though not on the scale of the previous
two days, and by the night of the 25th
the British army occupied the line of
Cumbral. Landrecies and Le Cateau
(Cambrai Is a fortified town in the De
partment of the North, 42 miles north
of Lille on the River Scheldt. Le ca
teau is 14 miles east by southeast of
Cambrai.)
Germans Delay Retirement.
"It had bedn intended to resume the
retirement at daybreak on the 26th, but
the German attack, in which no fewer
than five army corps were engaged.
was so close and fierce that It was not
possible to carry out this intention un
til the afternoon.
"The battle on this day, the 26th, was
of a most severe and desperate char
acter. The troops offered a superb and
most stubborn resistance to the tre
mendous odds with which they were
confronted, and at length extricated
themselves in good order, though with
serious loss and under the heaviest
artillery fire. No guns were taken by
the enemy except those the horses of
which had all been killed or which
were shattered by high explosive shells.
"General French estimates that dur
ing the whole of these operations from
the 23d to the 26th Inclusive, his losses
amounted to from 5000 to 8000 men
while, on the other hand, the losses suf
fered by the Germans in their attacks
across the open and through their
dense formation are out of all propor
tion to those we have suffered.
Men Mowed Down In Streets.
"In Landrecies alone, on the 25th, as
an instance, a German infantry brigade
advanced in close order into a narrow
street, which they completely filled.
Our machine guns were brought to
bear on this target from the end of
the town. The head of the column was
swept away.
"A frightful panic ensued, and it is
estimated 600 to 900 dead or wounded
Germans were left In this street alone.
Another incident, which may be chosen
from many like It, was the charge of
the German Guard cavalry division
upon the British Twelfth Cavalry Bri
gade, when the German cavalry was
thrown back with great losses and in
absolute disorder. These are notable
examples of what has taken place over
practically the whole front during the
engagements, and the Germans have
been made to pay the extreme price
for every forward march they have
made.
"Since the 26th, apart from cavalry
fighting, the British army has not been
molested. It has rested and refitted
after its extreme exertions and glorious
achievements. Reinforcements amount
ing to double the losses sustained al
ready have Joined. Every gun has been
replaced, and the army Is now ready
to take part In the next great encoun
ter with undimlnishlng strength and
undaunted spirits.
News Attain Favorable.
"Today the news is again favorable.
The British have not been engaged, but
the French armies, acting vigorously
on the right and left, have, for the
time being, brought the German attack
to a standstill.
"Sir John French also reports that
on the 28th the British Fifth Cavalry
Brigade fought In brilliant fashion with
German cavalry, in the course of which
the Twelfth Lancers and the Royal
Scots Grays routed the enemy and
speared a large number in flight.
"It must be remembered throughout
that operations in France are vast and
that we are only on one wing of the
whole field of battle. This strategic
position of ourselves and our allies is
such that decisive victories of our
armies in France probably would be
fatal to the enemy, while a continu
ance of resistance by the Anglo-French
armies upon such a scale as to keep in
the closest grip the enemy's best troops
can. It prolonged, lead only to one conclusion."

QUEEN TAKES HAND
Wilhelmina Consults About
Relief of Unemployed.
SAVINGS ALMOST GONE
Holland Faces Tremendous Problem
of Exchanging Commodities
With Neighboring Nation
if War Is Prolonged.
LONDON, Aug. 30. A dispatch to
The Hague says Queen Wilhelmina left
for Rotterdam at noon today to con
sult with the burgomaster of that city
as to measures to be taken for the
relief of he unemployed, whose condi
tion In many cases is desperate.
Much good work has been done by
private charity but the money thus
raised has been Insufficient.
The small savings of the people are
near the vanishing point and the con
tinuation of -the war for a leg time
will see Holland chiefly depending on
the Interchange of commodities with
neighboring nations a tremendous
problem.
Speaking of the fear of the British
nation that coal for Dutch ports from
England might fall into the hands of
the Germans, T. P. Fair, a coal mer
chant with interests in Glasgow, Paris
and Rotterdam, Baid today:
"These fears are groundless, for the
reason that the coal at present im
ported cannot be used for men-of-war
because it is not what we call of the
admiralty quality. It is good only for
gas production and ordinary steaming
purposes.
"The fact is Germany does not need
coal and still is exporting much. The
Netherlands state railways get 1000
tons of coal from Germany daily and
the German government yesterday re
leased 20,000 tons held In Dutch ves
sels at various points along the Rhine.
Germany, moreover, has grades of coal
well suited for naval purposes, though
not by any means as good as our Car
diff coal."
SPIES OBSESS BERLIN
FOREIGN FARM LABORERS CON
STANTLY UNDER SUSPICION.
Boy Who Detected Noted Rnulu by
Irregularity of Uniform Is Made
Hero by Press.
ROTTERDAM. Aug. 30. "The hunt
ing of spies is the worst terror of the
war in Berlin, declared tne corre
spondent of a local newspaper on his
return to this city today. He continued.
"Berlin is completely obsessed by
'snieitis.' Even before the war one
heard constantly of spies and it was a
dull day when the Imperial High Court
at Lepzig did not sentence one- o:
more.
"PlusEian farm laborers, who are nu
merous in Germany, are constantly sus
Dected of being spies. When the war
started there were many stories of
these Russians attempting to blow up
railway bridges, telegraph offices and
government buildings.
'There was no doubt much justmca-
tion in many cases for suspicions that
they were spies. For instance, a Doy
walking along Unter den Linden saw
what appeared to be a German officer.
The boy noticed somethfng Irregular
about his uniform and suspected he
was a spy.
"The lad asked the man a question
regarding the direction of a certain
building. The man replied with a
foreign accent. This confirmed tne
ooy's suspicions, whereupon ne asaea a
noliceman to arrest the suspect. On
investigation the man proved to be the
notorious Russian, Hegy, and he was
promptly shot.
Needless to say, tne press raaoc
much of the young hero. After that
hundreds of German reserve officers
whose uniforms were not always up to
the latest mode had a chance to ex
plain to the authorities that they were
not spies.

BIG RUSSIAN ARMY
IS WELL PREPARED
Organization Has Profited by
Overwhelming Reverses
of War With Japan.
DUMA HAS AIDED REFORM
System of Co-operation Between
i Popular Body and Government
Ha Resulted In Rational
Programme of Defense.
LONDON, Aug. 16. The mobilization
of the Russian army, say military men
here, is complete, or nearly so. It was
estimated in the beginning that it
would require 26 days to complete this
difficult task. Distances in Russia are
enormous, the railway system is as yet
comparatively undeveloped and many of
the reservists had to come from vil
lages situated at long distances from
the railway or from a river.
The reservist is allowed as much as
nine days to settle up his affairs and
make the Journey to his headquarters.
And all the army corps of the eastern
regions had to be brought to the west.
The meager reports that have come
through from Russia mention the en
thusiasm that has attended the mobili
zation. During the mobilization for
the war with Japan there were sad
scenes, for the reservists were off to
distant Siberia and to a war which
nobody really understood. Now the
concentration is toward the very heart
of Russia and is directed against an in
vading enemy.
Duma Aids Reorganization.
The reorganization of the Russian
army nas bjceti thorough and effective.
The defeat in the Far Bast showed the
many shortcomings of the military au
thorities. The strong nationalist move
ment that started in 1907 naturally lm
pllod an emphasis on this question of
the national defense.
The third Duma, which began its ses
sion in 1907, was strongly conservative
and nationalistic. It supported the
government In almost all questions of
internal administration, and particu
larly In this mattor of national dofense.
The representatives of the army and
navy departments were ready and
eager to make use of the Duma for the
Important work which confronted them
The Duma was able to exert much in
fluence here. It was able to demand
the proper application of the appropria
tlons which it voted. It threatened to
refuse appropriations until satisfied
that desired reforms in the army and
navy departments had actually been
made.
The third Duma elected a special com
mittee on national defense. The con
servative majority of the Duma frankly
refused to elect to this committee mem
bers of the radical parties, or even of
the liberal constitutional-democratic
party, which is led by Professor Mil
youkov. The contention was that tho
members of these parties had not
shown proper discretion about keeping
state secrets.
System of Co-operation Devlaed.
The work of this committee on na
tlonal defense was well summarized
by one of its members and its official
spokesman. Some of the statements
made by Mr. Zvegintsev are of pecu
liar interest when the Russian army
Is entering the conflict.
The committee evolved a system of
co-operation between the duma and
the government which made it possible
for the duma to accept responsibility
for the measures taken for national
defense. The subjects chiefly dls
cussed by the committee were ques
tlons arising from tho strategical po
sition of the Russian army, which nat
urally raised all other questions that
concerned national defense, inc van
ous ministries co-operated by supply
ing to the committee, and later to
the budget committee, detailed state
ments.
"Since 1882 onward the whole mill
tary systems of Russia was based on
certain main Drlncinles. which were
very simple," reads the summary. "On
land the only probable enemy was to
th west The line of defense was
flanked by two seas on the north and
on the south. The army was In three
lines, that nearest to the frontier be
ing the best prepared for war, and the
least dependent ior us completion ou
the reserve. The left flank was cov
ered by a fleet of battleships; on the
right were some coast guard vessels
and torpedo-boats, with two cruising
Bquadrons far out In the Atlantic and
the Pacific, always kept at about the
same strength by sending out new
ships and recalling older ones.
Why Defeat Was Met in East.
"This simple system, however, be
gan to change as goon as a new direc
tion had been given to the political
action of Russia in the Far East.
Whatever may have been the alms of
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the
Ministry of War did not regard the
Far Eastern policy otherwise than as
a colonial enterprise, and never ar
ranged the system of defense so as to
suit the new conditions. The Admir
alty, too. made only the slightest
changes of detail. It replaced one of
the squadrons of cruisers by a squad
ron of battleships. Nothing but catas
trophe could be anticipated, and the
catastrophe came in 1904.
"The first Russian troops to come
on the field of battle were taken from
the reserve, and in the first fighting
the Japanese devislon of the guards
was faced only by Russian reservists,
mostly drawn from the older reserve,
which as regards training was no
more than a kind of militia. The fleet
was never concentrated during the
war, and those ship which ultimately
in different batches came into touch
with the enemy were either sunk or
taken. .
"The time of revolution which fol
lowed the war was certainly not one
in which imperial oeiense cuuiu u
reorganized, but in the autumn of 1907
both the government and the duma
were faced with the necessity of evolv
ing some new plan of defense out of
the torn and shattered fragments.
They found an absence of a common
responsibility in army organization,
many departments being, in fact, quite
irresponsible to. the Minister of War;
several of these departments were di
rected by persons whose birth put
them above the law."
Old System Strongly Entrenched.
The duma found it difficult to at
tack the existing system. The Rus
sian array had four members of the
imperial family in charge of different
branches of its administration whose
positions made it Impossible to secure
any full responsibility in the Minister
or any unity in the organization. In
a brilliant speech the leader of the
duma called on these men' to resign
from office. The Minister of War was
forced to resign, but his successor, the
present Minister, with able assistant
Ministers, drew up a thorough scheme
nf reorganization on practically the
same lines as those which had been
laid down by the committee
of
tlonal defense of the duma
Through its
hold on the purse-
strings the duma was able to Insist
that its resolutions be observed. It
followed the carrying out of the pro
gramme step by step, and demanded
that each step should in Itself offer
definite results, and should mark a
given progress in the improvement of
the national defense.
It was a bold step that the duma
took here. The conditions that had
prevailed In these departments were
shown up by the recent war. The pre
rogative Of the sovereign as commander-in-chief
of Russia's armed forces had
to be carefully observed. There were
many influential groups interested In
continuing a system that meant ma
terial benefit to them.
iVonl Featnrea Eliminated.
It was not claimed by the duma
leaders that they had succeeded in
eliminating all the corruption that had
prevailed, but they were satisfied that
the worst features of the old system
had been done away with. And they
had the assurance that the technical
reforms advocated had been actually
put into operation. They announced
this in public statements and In pri
vate conversation affirmed their con
fidence In the armed forces of na
tional defense as reorganised.
The Russian soldier has always had
the reputation of being an excellent
one, but of needing good and strong
leadership. The active officers of the
line had not been properly trained or
salaried; It was here that the duma
Insisted that the main emphasis be
put. Strong cadres ot efficient non
commissioned officers on terms of long
service were created, which system
had hlthorto only been applied to the
officers.
An Important engagement on land
between the Russian . forces and the
enemy may be expected in the course
of a week or so. The ree-ult of the re
cent reorganization of the whole army
and the entire system of national de
fense will then hecome evident.

Major Mltetacl'e Coninlllr'
Americana May Learn to
Relieve

On Lees Food Than Other.
NEW YORK. Aug. 30. The Euro
pean war is directly responsible for
the increased prices of foodstuffs, ac
cording to a report filed today by
Mayor Mitchel's citizens' committee,
of which Georgo W. Perkins Is chair
man. The committee says that as a result
of the situation created by the war,
Americans may become educated to
live and thrive on smaller quantities
of food, as other leading nations do.
It does not believe city markets will
bn nermanently useful in reducing the
cost to the consumer unless established
In connection with terminal and trans
portation facilities reaching back
into the country districts.
The Increase In prices is attributed
to four factors: The present and an
ticipated foreign demand for our do
mestio foodstuffs for future ship
ment, heavy buying of household sup
plies by housewives against future
needs, holding back by tho producer
and heavy stocking up by city and
village storekeepers.
The committee says that "thare
doubtless has also been collusion In
some places and In some articles, but
under present laws and conditions It
Is extremely difficult to reach these
latter cases. The committer recom
mends three Important steps to reduce
table expense.
"First Substitute foods, by which
we do not mean adulterated foods, hut
foods that are nutritous and strength
ening that heretofore have not been
generally used by our people.
"Second Through out public schools,
churches and public meetings educate
ourselves as to relative nutritous
value of foods, how to buy them, how
to cook them and, how to conserve
their "use.
"Third Immediately set about to
try to Increase the railway and other
facilities by which foodstuffs are
brought into this city that the supply
may he increased, and. as speedily as
possible, the method of distribution
improved and cheapened.
