For Sale When you are in need at some thing in this line DON'T FORGET THIS IMPORTANT NEWS THE WORLD OVER Happenings of This and Other Nations For Seven Days Are Given. THE NEWS OF THE SOUTH What Is Taking Place In the South land Will Be Found In Brief Paragraphs. Washington One thousand eight hundred and twenty merchant ships, with an ap proximate gross tonnage of 3,328,584, have been sunk by belligerent na tions since the war began in Europe, is the report received in Washington, and is practically verified. A dispatch from Paris, France, says that the League of the Rights of Man declares that lasting peace can be only be made possible by the founda tion of a society of nations whose guiding principle shall be the settle ment of differences by law. Reports of the national banks’ con dition on September 12 by the comp troller of the currency shows that the resources of the banks of this country are the greatest in the na tion’s history. Havana, Cuba, dispatches announce that election returns indicate that Al fredo Zayas lias been elected president of the Cuban republic. So many conflicting elements have appeared in the destruction of the British ship Marina by a German sub marine with loss of American lives that the incident threatens to fall into a technical discussion. W. P. G. Harding of Birmingham, Ala., governor of the federal reserve board, says that when conditions throughout the world approach nor mal the federal reserve banking sys tem of the United States will be the most powerful agency in assuring this country a sound financial system. Colombia has protested to the Unit ed States against the new canal route treaty with Nicaragua on the ground that the granting of a 99-year lease to the United States government by Nicaragua is a denial of Colom bian sovereignty over the islands af fected. It is an interesting question, and discussion will be prolonged. First Sergeant Roswell Winans and Corporal Joseph A. Glowin of the ma rine corps who displayed extraordi nary valor in the battle of Guayacanes in the Dominican republic on July 3, have been awarded medals and SIOO in cash each by the acting secretary of the navy. Advanced prices for coal asked by dealers throughout the country are not justified by actual conditions of the coal market, in the opinion of many authorities throughout the country, and President Wilson has appealed to the patriotism of the owners of the coal miners. After receiving unofficial informa tion that six Americans had lost their lives by the sinking of the Brit ish steamship Marina, President Wil son communicated with Secretary of State Lansing and directed that all possible haste be taken in obtaining the facts concerning the sinking of the vessel. Preliminary reports of the sinking by German submarines of the British steamers Marina and Rowanmore, partly manned by Americans, are too incomplete to enable officials at the state department to form an opinion as to whether there had been a viola tion of neutral rights or of pledges given the United States by Germany. Secretary Lansing declined to com ment further than to admit that the reports appeared more serious than the usual routine dispatches announc ing the destruction of belligerent merchantmen, and that full informa tion would be awaited with interest. European War West of Lutsk In Volhvnia, the Rus sians have taken Austro-German trenches south of Sviniusky and re pulsed counter attacks. in Galicia the Austro-Germans have checked attacks below Stanislau and occupied Russian positions in the Narayuvka region near Halicz. The Roumanians have gained a vic tory in the region of Szurduk pass, on the Roumanian-Transylvania frontier, according to a wiseless message from Bucharest to Paris. "The situation is as good as possi ble, and all will be well also in the future.” This is the way Field Mar shal von Hiudenburg sizes up the war. Other than to say Germany will ulti mately win, he will make no predic tion as to when the war will stop; that, he says, rests entirely with the triple entente. Since the beginning of the war the> number of British civilians killed, drowned and wounded by the central powers follows; Killed or died of wounds or shock, 589; drowned, 3,014; injured, 1,693. The German submarine Deutschland has arrived in harbor at New London, Conn. This is her second trip to the United States. She brought a valua ble cargo. Replying in the English house of commons to criticisms alleging that the British foreign office was propping King Constantine of Greece by with holding recognition of ex-Prentier Ven izelos, head of the new movement in opposition to the Greek government, Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, said the English government had acted throughout in closest con cert with all the allies.

Germany and Austria-Hungary by joint action, proclaimed Warsaw and Lublin, the Kingdom of Poland, and re-established the right of the Polish nation to control its own destinies, to live an independent national life and to govern itself by chosen representa tives of the nation. A few days ago a Polish delegation had called upon the imperial chancel lor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. Its members were representative Poles of society and all creeds. They trans mitted to the German government the wishes of the Polish nation which now have been granted to them. “Thus the ancient kingdom of Po land from which in the past came fa mous rulers like the Jagellones (a dynasty founded by Jagello) which reigned in Poland from 1386 to 1572 and glorious soldiers like the great Sobieski (John 111., King of Poland in 1674-1696) is now resurrected to new life. The Poles are free from Russian oppression, no more to be trodden un der the heels of the Cossack. The liberty that had been destroyed a cen tury ago on Russian instigation now is restored. The rule of the knout has been abolished. Poland has been given back to western civilization.” The new constitution of Poland will be framed by a body of Poles to be selected later. It is understood that the selection of these delegates will be left entirely to the decision of the people.
