LONDON STIRRED BY
WAR CELEBRATION
Asquith Says Staffs of Al
lies Are Agreed That Vic
ii tory Will Be Won.-
COMMON POLICY DESCRIBED
Huig and Jellicoe Send Messages
of Confidence Signs of Weakening-
and Exhaustion of
loe Declared Visible.
LONDON, Aug. 4. "We look forward
"With confidence to success and trium
phant peace' was the conclusion of an
inspiring telegram from General Sir
Douglas Haig, commander of the Brit
ish armies in France, read at a packed
meeting in Queen's Hall tonight to
celebrate the second anniversary of the
war.
The Earl of Derby, Under-Secretary
for War, presided at the meeting, which
was most enthusiastic and representa
tive of all classes of society. Earl
Derby read a telegram from Admiral
Sir John Jellicoe, commander-in-chief
of the grand fleet, which was similar
in tenor to that sent by General Haig.
Position Viewed Optimistically.
In a brief speech Earl Derby said:
"Notwithstanding our losses and the
misery and anxiety caused by the war,
the empire is just as determined as
ever to see German militarism crushed.
Although the end of the war may not
ba in sight, never have we stood in so
favorable position as tonight."
Referring to Germany's costly mis
take and delusion in supposing that
Great Britain would never Join France
and Russia in arms, the Premier said
that never in the tangled and bungled
web of German diplomacy had there
been an error eo crude in conception
and so disastrously fatal to its authors.
Proceeding to a review of the two
years. Premier Asquith said the war
had breathed a new spirit into the
British nation, while there was nothing
more remarkable during the past year
than the success with which, the en
tente allies have developed a -common
policy and a united plan which had re
sulted in the present successful and
vigorous offensive on three fronts of
the theater of war.
- Command of Seas Demonstrated.
"Our navy," the Premier continued,
"with its ever-tightening crip, is throt
tling the life of Germany, and never
in history has there been such a dem
onstrative proof of the supreme im
portance of the command of the seas.
The enemy is everywhere on the de
fensive. There are signs of his mate
rial weakening and exhaustion.
"The recrudescence of deliberate and
calculated barbarity on the part of
Germany indicates her sense of desper
ation. The record of her latest atro
cities will blacken and has even be
smirched the annals of the German
army. Nor can we forget the great in
famy directed against ourselves in the
Judicial murder of Captain Fryatt, which
has stirred the indignation and out
raged the conscience of the whole
world."
Reference to "Atrocities" Applauded.
The Premier was greeted with an
outburst of applause when he repeated
the statement he made in the House of
Commons that the entente allies were
considering how to deal with the "Ger
man atrocities."
He concluded by saying that all the
allies' army staffs are agreed that
prospects for an allied victory have
never been so bright and that the final
result of their victory would be a
"great partnership of nations in the
joint pursuit of a freer and fuller life
for the countless millions who, by the
efforts and sacrifices of gereration
after generation, have maintained prog
ress and enriched the inheritance of
humanity."

today accepted Senator Jones' amend
ment appropriating $100,000 to buy

Vancouver Barracks.
French.
PARIS. Aug. 4. The statement given
out today by the French War De-
fartment, in which it is admitted that
he Germans have succeeded in recap
turing a portion of the village of
Fleury, is as follows:
"On the right bank of the Meuse the
battle continued along the Thlaumont
Fleury front, where the Germans at
tacked last night with great ferocity.
Several counter attacks in large num
bers upon our positions near the Triau
mont work were repulsed with heavy
losses for our adversaries. Jn the
course of this fighting our troops even
occupied the Thiaumont work, but t icy
were compelled subsequently to evacu
ate by the powerful German bombard
ment. They brought back with them 80
prisoners. -
"There has been fighting no less vio
lent in the region of Fleury. The Ger
mans multiplied the number of coun
ter attacks upon (his village. Each was
preceded by an intense preparatory ar
tillery fire. After several fruitless en
deavors.' the Germans secured a foot
ing in the southern part of Fleury,
where spirited fighting still is going
on. All efforts made to dislodge U3
from the position to the southeast of
this village were checked by tho .re
sistance of our troops.
"The enemy attacked in like manner
during the night our new positions to
the east of Vacherauville. They suc
ceeded only in suffering heavy losses.
In the vicinity of Vaux le Chaptre and
Chenois the artillery fighting has been
spirited.
"In the Vosges yesterday the enemy
delivered upon the salient at La Cha
pelotte an attack, whicli was, however,
dispersed before our adversaries cou
reach our lines."
The official statement Issued tonight
says:
"On the right bank of the Meuse
fighting continued all day in the region
of Thiaumont and Fleury,' and to the
northwest and southwest of the Thiau
mont works. All attempts to dislodge
us from conquered positions failed. We
not only broke the enemy's efforts, in
flicting heavy losses upon him, but in
a second offensive move our troops
succeeded In capturing, for the second
time in 12. hours, the Thiaumont work,
which remains in our possession, not
withstanding several enemy counter at
tacks. "Fierce fighting is going ' on at
Fleury. After having evacuated the
whole of the village this morning as
a consequence of several German at
tacks, our infantry this afternoon car
ried with the bayonet the greater part
of the village. The enemy is still re
sisting energetically. The number of
unwounded prisoners taken by- us to
day is more than 400."
Germans on Western Front.
BERLIN, via London, Aug. 4. The
text of today's offleial statement on
the progress of the war on the west
ern front is:
"Last night the French succeeded In
taking possession of our positions in
the village of Fleury and south of the
Thiaumont work. Our counter attack,
delivered early this morning, put us
in complete possession again of he
village of Fleury and the trench north
and west "Of this village.
"Enemy attacks northwest of the
Thiaumont work and against our posi
tions in Chapitre and the mountain
forests were repulsed last night with
heavy losses to the enemy. The situa
tion is now again exactly the same as
before the French attack, which was
carried out with very strong forces." -
Russian.
PETROGRAD. via London, Aug. 4.
Today's Russian official statement is:
"Western front In the rei.lon of
Lubleszow (northeast of Kovel) our
detachments crossed to the left bank
of the River Stokhod and took a series
of heights, on which they fortified
themselves.
"On the River Stavok, a left tribu
tary of the Stokhod, our detachments
fought their way to the river, where an
obstinate engagement took place for
the village of Rudka-Mirynskata. Bay
onet fighting took place in the streets.
and, although the village changed
bands several times, it finally remained
in our possession. All enemy attempts
to dislodge us ended in failure.
'The enemy was forced back behind
the River Stavok and we took 600 Ger
man prisoners and captured 12 machine
guns.
'In the region of Korytnlk an enemy
attack was repelled by our fire. On the
rest of the frorit the usual artillery
duel Is proceeding."
An official report issued tonight says:
"On the outskirts of Rudka-Miry-
anskaia there was desperate fighting
the entire night, the enemy having ap
proached the village from three sides

(Continued From First Pare.)
man counter attacks have been fre
quent and furious, and regiment after
regiment has withered away under the
French guns and rifles. In the terri
tory captured, too, the effects of the
French shells have been seen in piles
of dead and dying, while the barrage
have made escape for the defenders of
many of the posts impossible, and the
French have captured 2175 unwounded
prisoners.
That the German guns have been
less effective is shown in the French
feat of bringing SO prisoners back with
them when they retreated the first time
from Thiaumont. ;
France Is Rejoicing.
The success of the drive has caused
the greatest rejoicing throughout
France even more than did the vic
tories along the Somme. In London,
too, the French success is hailed with
delight. The capture of Fleury is th
first fruit of the new French offensive.
It has been accepted that France has
done her share in holding the line
until the British could prepare, and
Britain has accepted as hers the task
of "turning the Germans out." The
fact that France is still able to bring
strength to the task Is accepted as evl
dence that it may not be so long nor
eo costly as had been expected.
The initiative, experts now think, has
passed definitely to the allies. ,
Belgian Banker Deported.
LONDON. Aug. 4. The director of
the Belgian National Bank at Antwerp
has been deported by the German au
thorities, says a dispatch to the Ex
change Telegraph Company from The
Hague today, "because of his refusal
to pay them 400.000.000 francs in ex
change for a paper receipt."
and launched repeated counter attacks.
Having repulsed these attacks we. to

to six hundred yards further to the
east.
-"South of Brody (Galicla) on the line
of the Rivers Sereth and Graberki. Gen
eral Sakharoff's troops made a hot at

Germans on Eastern Front.
BERLIN. Aug. 4. Today's official re
port on the fighting in the east says:
"In the Sitowiczewiellch sector tierce
battles are developing, during the
course of which the enemy penetrated
the village of Rudka-Mirynskaia and
the adjoining lines. During a counter
attack German and Auatro-Hunji rian
battalions, together with parts of the
Polish Legion, completely recaptured
the lost territory. They took 631 pris
oners, captured several machine guns
and completely repulsed the renewed
Russian attacks.
"Farther south and near Ostrov and
in the region east of Sviniuchy enemy
enterprises did not proceed beyond the
initial stage as the result of our fire.
"Front of Field Marshal Archduke
Karl There were no special incidents
to report. In the Carpathians German
troops gained ground in the region of
Kopilas.
"Balkan front In positions south of
Bltolj engagements took place with
Serbian detachments, which ended in
favor of the Bulgarian ada.,ice posts."
British.
LONDON. Aug. 4. The British official
communication issued tonight says:
'It was a quiet day. In the trenches
which we captured last night west of
Pozlerea we are in close touch with the
enemy. A large number of German
dead are lying all around the trenches.
We captured more than 100 prisoners.
"The enemy's artillery maintained a
barrage southward of Pozieres nearly
all day. He also shelled the southern
portion of the Mametz wood. Near St.
Elol the enemy exploded a small mine
which damaged only his own wire. He
fired another near Auchy on his own
side of a crater. This seems to indi
cate some nervousness among his
miners."
Friday's War Moves
VERDUN, almost quiescent during
the Anglo-French offensive In the
Somme region, has again become the
stormcenter on the western battle front.
The French forces have taken the of
fensive on the right bank of the Meuse,
and now hold, the Thiaumont work and
the greater part of the village of
Fleury, .according to Paris.
The Thiaumont work, already the
scene of many desperate combats, was
twice In French hands during 12 hours
on Friday. The forces of the German
Crown Prince fought tenaciously, driv
ing the French from the work once, but
losing it again. German counter at
tacks were of no avail, says Paris, and
the work remained in the possession
of the French.
Fleury, which c-hanged hands Thurs
day, after the French had succeeded
in taking it, is again almost entirely
occupied by the French. Fierce fight
ing continues in and . around the vil
lage. German unwounded prisoners
taken in the Verdun fighting number
400. a
On the Somme front In Northern
France there has been little infantry
activity, both the British and. French
official communications failing to re
port any moves on the part of their
armies. London says the Germain bom
barded the section southwest of Po
zieres and also the southern portion
of the Mametz wood.
Desperate counter attacks by the
Germans in the region of the Stokhod
River, east iof Kovel, have resulted in
the retirement of the Russian forces
which had seized the village of Rudka,
Miryanskaia. The fact that the village
is only 19 miles from Kovel, -the Rus
sian objective on this part of the
Volhynian front, probably accounts for
the intensity of the fighting there.
The Russian General Sakahroffs
troops continue to advance south of
Brody and toward Lemberg. Petrograd
reports the capture of 1300 Austro-Ger-mans
in a "hot attack" on the line of
the Sereth and Graberki rivers.
A squadron of British naval aero
planes has attacked with bombs Ger
man military establishments in the
vicinity of Ghent. Belgium. London
says considerable damage was done by
dropping two tons of bombs. Unoffi
cial reports received in Amsterdam ap
parently confirm this claim.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4. (Special.) As
sured of a warm and hearty welcome
all along the line of his itinerary.
Charles Evans Hughes will embark to
morrow night for his friendly invasion
of the West, armed with facta and pre
pared to show the public generally that
he Is a real human being with tho best
interests of his country much at heart,
and not the aloof person painted by his
political enemies.
His first stop will be in Detroit,
which is recognized by all political
managers as an important battlefield.
President Wilson went there and made
a speech, but Theodore Roosevelt had
Deen aneaa or him and discounted
in advance his efforts. There are
many extreme pacifists in and
around Detroit. A large percentage of
them find profitable employment in
Henry Ford's factories or are de
pendent upon him for orders for sup
plies of various kinds. There are also
several husky Moose etill roaming the
Michigan wilds and if Mr. Hughes can
get them into his corral he will have
made a big start.
Eatkulum II (Kb K Chraxe.
From Detroit he win jump to Chi
cago, where he is assured a most en
thusiastic! greeting from all factions.
Illinois, in recent years, has broken
out badly with factional rash, but the
distemper Is rapidly being cured. The
Progressive leaders are strong for Mr.
Hughes and the women's organizations
are all for him. Republicans are al
ready lined up under the Hughes ban
ner, and the candidate will have a
send-off In Chicago that will hearten
him for his work farther west.
The next stop will be In the Twin
Cities of Minnesota. This state Is ad
mittedly Republican this year, and the
Democrats have practically decided not
to waste much ammunition. Minne
sota, like Illinois, presents a solidifi
cation of the Republicans and Pro
gressives, and tRe old party has In Its
front ranks a list of doughty fighters
of both brands, who know only one
enemy In this campaign, and that Is
the present Washington Administra
tion. So It is certain that Mr. Hughes,
following his reception in Chicago, will
gain considerable steam and impetus
in. the Twin Cities.
' 'North Dakota to Get Acquainted.
North Dakota, the next stop. Is as
sured to i the Republicans, and Mr.
Hughes' appearance there is compli
mentary in character and for the pur
ple of getting acqualntc , or. what Is
o more, importance, giving the North
Dakotans a chance to become acqualnt-
ea wuii mm at close range. He will
speak at Grand Forks and Fsrgo arl
also make three speeches In Montana.
North Dakota, which was carried in
the Wilson landslide by the Democrats,
will make a different -report this year.
The regular Republican ticket has been
Indorsed from top to toe by the non
partisan Farmers' League, which Is
powerful In the state, and this means
certain success for the Republican

will find that the friends of Colonel

It Is regarded as certain that Oregon

publican Administration, as the tariff
enacted by the Democrats dealt a hard
blow to the industries, of both states.

Democratic campaign managers will

Hughes will visit, both before, during
his presence there and after his de
parture, to report on the nature of his
reception, what he says and whom he
sees. They hope by these reports to

developing and where best to unlimber
the heavy guns and bring other ores-

New York, where he will spend the day

beginning his Western campaign trip
at night.
Mrs. Hughes will accompany him.
Mr. Hughes is taking with him three
trunks, one of them filled with docu
ments of a widely varied sort, to which
he will refer in his addresses. He has
prepared the first four to be delivered
in Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis and
St. Paul, and will complete the others
of the 29 while on his trip.
