DEATH PENALTY PROVIDED Germans Otter to Pay Cash or Give Keccipt tor Kverything furnished. Six Hostages Held Responsi ble Commandments 'Seven. BERLIN. Aug. 115. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The com manders of tne German troops are is fc'Mng a proclamation to the inhabi tants ot every hostile town they oc cupy as follows: "Citizens: A body of the German army under my command has occupied yorrr city. Inasmuch as the war is car ried on only between the armies, I guarantee in due form the life and private property of all the inhabitants under the following: conditions: "1. The inhabitants must strictly avoid every hostile act against the Genista troops. Food and forage for our men i:id horses are to be furnished by the inhabitants. Every such delivery will be paid for at once in coin or a re ceipt will be issued, to be redeemed after the termination ot the war. Huiisina- In Demanded. S. The inhabitants are to house our roldiers and horses in the best man ner and to keep their houses lighted at night. "4. The inhabitants are to put the roids i npassable condition, to remove all obstacles erected by the enemy and to Rive the best supitort to our troops, that they may bo able to fulfill their ta-k. doubly difficult in a hostile land. It is forbidden to collect in crowds on the streets, to ring the bells or to communicate with the enemy in any way whatever. '". AIL weapons in possession of the Inhabitants are to be handed over at the town hall within two hours Six Hostage Sought. 7. The Mayor, the clergyman and four well-reputed citizens are to ap pear before me at once to act as hostages during the stay of the troops. Under these conditions I repeat it the lives and private property of the Inhabitants are perfectly secure. The strict discipline to which our soldiers are accustomed renders it possible that no inhabitant will be compelled to neg eet his business affairs or to desert his home and hearth. On tne other hand. I shall adopt the most stringent measures as soon as the above condi tions are not observed. In this respect 1 shall hold the hostages In the first Instance responsible. "Besides this, every citizen will be sl ot who is found with a weapon In his hands, or committing any act what ever hostile to our troops. Finally, tne entire city is responsible for the deeds of every individual citizen, and the cit izens will do well to keep mutual oversight over each other in order that they may avoid the unpleasant conse quences that must follow upon any co operation with the enemy. s a consequence of non-observance of such proclamations, a number of villages on the French frontier ha e been burned and the inhabitants se verely punished. WARSHIP'S CALL RESENTED (Continued From First Page ) the United States and the memory of the -water cures' In the Philippines should make them chary of attacking Turkev in connection with acts of sav agery committed by her under provo cation compared with which the eco nomic competition of an Italian or the sniping of a Filipino or even the out rage of a negro are as nothing; "Supposing for the sake of argument, what in reality could never happen, thiit the negroes were discovered to be engaged in a conspiracy with the Japa nese to facilitate the invasion of the United States by the latter, how many of them would be left alive to tell the talc? Administration Called Sagacious. "Great Britain and France have em barked upon a new campaign of provo cation against Turkey, secretly hoping that as a result of it something un toward may happen In that country to confirm their sinister predictions, so that the United States finally will be prevailed upon to detach warships to the Levant and thus get mixed in the Kuropenn fray on the allies' side, but I bciieve the Administration too saga cious to tall into such a vulgar trap. "Besides, why should the United States, not one of whose citizens has ev.r suffered in Turkey, send warships to the waters of that country, with the result that it would only cause Irrita tion against her and could under no circumstances act as a check? Bom bard Smyrna, Beirut, which are mostly inhabited by Christians? What of that? And what more could she do? Nothing. But that would be enough to mean war. Do the people ot the United States want war? British rian Attacked. "The new British move against Tur key is clumsy. It will not cause the United States to modify its attitude. But it has called forth the following telegram from New York to the Turk ish Embassy: 'If Turkey goes to war against England, the Hindoos and Mussulmans in India and elsewhere will support her In every way. Thousands of volun teers are ready. (Signed) " 'Ibhayankar, "Gadar National Volunteers, " '67 Bast 200th Street.' " TURKEY GETS HEADY SIOYVLY Diplomats Watching Situation De veloping in Egypt. WASHINGTON, Sept- 7. Routine dispatches from Ambassador Morgan thau at Constantinople today to the State Department show that communi cation with Turkey is unimpaired. No mention was made by the Ambassador of political conditions, from which. It was inferred, the diplomatic situation there was unchanged. Officials here are much interested in the possible results of the expulsion of German and Austrian consular offi cers from Egypt by British military authorities. For weeks. Great Britain has hesitated to take any step which must irritate the Porte. England's action in Egypt, which is under the authority of the Sultan, but domi nated by Great Britain, was interpreted as meaning that the latter would delay no longer In meeting embarrassing situations resulting from Turkey's wavering yet apparently sympathetic attitude towards Germany and Austria. The extension of the forbidden zone In the Boaphorus was looked oa here as another Indication of the Porte's careful preparations for war. There Is a belief in official cirolesr liowever, that while the military is taking every precaution, the diplomatic branch of the Ottoman Empire is waiting for a more decisive turn on the battlefields before plunging Into the conflict. Ambassador Herrick's request for in structions as to what he might do to protect world famous buildings and works of art in Paris in the event ot a bombardment, was not acted on to day. The Ambassador intends to have all American residences plainly marked with American flags and other insignia to insure their safety from attack. Detailed instructions probably will be sent to the Ambassador tomorrow by President Wilson and Secretary Bryan as to what he might properly do in his delicate position as a neutral diplomat- BRITISH LOSS la REPORTED Berlin Dispatch Says Cruiser. War rior Has Been Stranded. WASHINGTON. Sept. 7. A Berlin wireless to the German Embassy says: "British cruiser Warrior, stranded, probably as result of fight with cruis er Goeben. while escaping from the Bosphorus." The dispatch contains nothing to amplify or explain this. There was nothing to Indicate which cruiser was escaping from the Bosporus or what had happened to the Goeben. The in definite terms of the dispatch aroused added interest because of the fact that the Goeben. with the Breslau, another German ship, after being chased by hostile ships at the beginning of the war. took refuge in the Dardanelles and were later talyen over by the Turkish navy, although it was understood a German crew remained aboard. The latter feature opened the pos sibility of a conflict between British and Turkish ships. In view of the threatened entry of Turkey into the European conflict by a declaration of war on Russia, this possibility was regarded with addad importance. The dispatch to the Embassy added that "the German Socialist leader, Fischer, published an article in a Swiss paper in which he says war was forced unwillingly on Germany by an in famous Russian assaulti' that marching through Belgium was unavoidable on account of the life and death fight and that stories of German atrocities are lies." Fischer adds that the army, consist ing of one-third Socialists, la above suspicion, and says that "reprisals were due to Belgian treacherous attacks." SON'S SHOT STAYS KISS MOTH Kit DKOPS AS BOY'S GIN IS ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGED. Mrs. Rosa Sfrenpels on Polut of Wei coining: Lads Home From Trip Hit by Chars and Dies at Oace. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 7. (.Special.) Death came to Mrs. Rosa Streupels, of 7723 Thirty-first avenue Northwest, in a tragic and unexpected way tonight when, as she held out her arras to era brace her son, Edward, 12 years old, a shotgun he held was accidentally dis charged. She died where she fell a few moments after, the charge strik ing her in the chest. Edward and his brother, Felix, 10 years old, had spent the day in tne vicinity of Lake Balllnger, hunting and fishing. Mrs. Streupels had prepared supper for her family, consisting of her husband and seven children, and was waiting for the boys. Hearing their voices as they approached the home through an alley, she ran to meet them. When about GO feet from her Edward swung his gun from one hand to the other. The trigger snapped and Mrs. Streupels toppled to the ground. The kindly greeting with which she had hailed her boys was changed to an agonized cry of "I'm dying." Neighbors heard the report of the gun and medical aid was quickly sum moned. Dr. C. W. Knudsen reached the scene two minutes after the shot, but Mrs. Streupels was dead three min utes after she fell. Edward and Felix, overwhelmed with grief, had to be cared for by neighbors, and Isaac Streupels, their father, who was in the house, was led away by friends. Mrs. Streupels was 33 years old. The family had been in Seattle but two weeks, coming here from Lacrosse, Whitman County. The youngest child of the seven is 2 years old. POWERFUL STATION PLAN Astoria to Have Strongest Marconi Plant in Northwest. ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 7. (Special.)

It is to be erected by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company on the 30-acre tract recently purchased on the south side of Young's Bay. Much of the material, including 100 tons of structural steel, has arrived and work on the construction is to be commenced immediately, with the idea of having the plant ready for operation early in the coming year. IMPORT OF TREATY NOTED Italian Paper Says New Agreement Is anting to Balkan States. ROME. Sept. 7, via Paris. The Cor riere d'ltalia, commenting: today on the undertaking: signed by the powers of the Triple Entente, in which it was agreed that none of the three would accept terms of peace without the previous consent of the other two, says that the undertaking will have enormous importance. Iu addition to its effect on Germany, it will serve as a warning to certain Balkan states, the paper declares. AUSTRALIA HALTS EXPORT Fear Felt That Shipments Are In tended for Enemy. LONDON. Sept. 8, 2:34 A, M. A dis patch to the Post from Melbourne says that the government has prohibited the export of wheat, flour, tinned and other meats to any place outside the United Kingdom, except with the government's consent. This decision is due to the suspicion that Australian cargoes, ostensibly for South America, are really intended for tire enemy. TURKEY NOW IN CONTROL Albanian Government in Hands of Former Turkish Official. LONDON. Sept. 7. An Exchange Telegraph Company's dispatch from Valona, Albania, says that a complete Turkish government was installed there today. General Adin Bey, former Turkish official, will replace the pro visional government which took charge of affairs when Prince William of Weld withdrew from his klngdsm. BRITAIN PREPARES FOR GERMAN ENTRY Steps Taken to Ward Off Attack by Sea or by Sky. Women Aid Defense. EVERY PERSON ON GUARD invasion of German) by Sea or Air, Though Seemingly Remote, Is Possibility British Make Every Effort to Prevent. LONDON. Sept. 7. (Special.) Re mote as seems the possibility of a German invasion of England, prepara tions for such a contingency are pro ceeding ceaselessly. It is but one of innumerable indications of how seri ously the English are taking the war. Every respectable young man in the country Is doing something to safe guard the nation. Those not already in the army or preparing to enlist are performing civil duties. Virtually every motorcyclist gives his part of his time to the national service. I know young men doing regular work who devote half the night to guard duty. Coast defenses are becoming stronger every day against attack from sea or uir. Women Also Assist.

Belgians Flock to England. Some had gaping wounds in their sides filled with maggots and others were limping on three legs. Without veterinary knowledge, I speedily be came efficient in dressing wounds. 1 could dress 70 between breakfast and lunch." Belgian refugees are finding homes in all directions in Great Britain. In some instances working people with five or six children of their own find room for one or more Belgian boys or girls. The Belgians attract tender and amused interest on the streets. The men are bushybearded. the women sad and timid and the little ones big-eyed and curious. The Germans are reported to be sounding the French on the subject of peace apparently in the hope of sep arating them from the English. NORWAY AND SWEDEN NOW FAVOB GHKAT BRITAIN. Peninsular Press Also Declares Great Britain, Frunce and Belgium Unwilling Participants. LONDON, Sept. 7, 3:26 P. M. British officials are watching the attitude of Norway and Sweden in the present war with great interest. Travelers return ing to London from the Scandinavian Peninsula say it is evident that the Norwegians quite generally sympathise with Great Britain, the feeling being that the English navy offers protection to Norwegian interests. The Dagens Nyheter, a Radical journal of Stock holm, in its issue of September 6, says the successes of Germany had impressed the Swedish press disproportionately, although the partiality of the Swedish press is now admitted. After examining the German and English white books, the editor of the Dagens Nyheter says: "It is impossible to say that Great Britain, France and Belgium desire this catastrophe; they undoubtedly did all they could to avoid it. It was Rus sia, Germany, Austria and even Servia which played the principal parts. It is still uncertain whether Germany was informed of the nature of the ulti matum delivered by Austria to Servia, but these diplomatic documents give evidence that it was Germany who op posed Sir Edward Grey's proposal for a conference in London. It appears from the telegrams from Emperor Nicholas of Russian to Emperor William of Ger many about August 1, that mutual dis trust tended to make an agreement im possible." In conclusion this paper says: "Sweden as a source of food supplies for Germany holds a strategic posi tion." COWS TEAM FIRST FIREMEN'S TOURNEY HONORS ARE CAPTURED AT ST. JOHNS.
