TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 TODAY’S WAR NEWS CONDENSED The absence of news concerning the progress of the European war foda.v most marked. Not since the early days of August, when military fjperations first took serious form, has there been such a dearth of intel ligence, official or otherwise. It is evident that there is a concerted ef fort on the part of both the English and the French authorities to keep tne world at large in absolute ignorance of what is transpiring in northern France. Xo official statements have been forwarded from London, Paris or Berlin. The veil of secrecy may be taken as an indication that events of importance arc transpiring. A similar silence was observed during the fighting around Mons, Cambrai and Le Cateau last week. The latest official report on the situation north of Paris was issued last night. It said that the French left, owing to the progress of the German right wing, had been forced to “mark a new retirement.’’ Ev plaining this announcement the French embassy in London today said: “The Anglo-French army corps have had to give ground but no where have they been broken through." The fighting today is thought to be centered around LaFere, a strong ly fortified French position on the River Oise, 75 miles northeast of Paris. The fate of the French capital mav hang on the outcome of these operations. A news despatch from Dieppe says a great battle has been fought at Croisilles and probably is still in progress. No details are given nor has this report been received from any other source. Croisilles is ten miles southeast of Arras, in the Department of Pais De Calais, and is about fifteen miles from Cambrai. A Frenchman who reached Paris today says there are no Germans in Lille, Roubaix or Turcoing. a group of towns near the Belgian frontier which were occupied by the Germans last week. Rome has received a report from Roumania that the Russians have inflicted a crushing defeat on the Austrians in Galicia, the troops of Em peror Francis Joseph suffering losses declared to amount to 20,000. A news despatch from St. Petersburg makes a similar claim. Other reports from the eastern theatre of war continue to be conflicting. By imperial order the city of St. Petersburg will henceforth be known as Petrograd. the change eliminating the Teuton construction In the name of the chief city of Russia. An official communication given out at Antwerp says the situation throughout Belgium is satisfactory. The Germans are declared to have evacuated Aerschot and railroad communication has been restored in the Cam pine country. Refugees from Brussels say food there is getting scarce. A news despatch from The Hague says the four richest men of Bel gium have guaranteed the payment to Germany of the war tax of $40.- 000,000 levied against the Belgian capital. News dispatches published in London say that the people of Berlin, alarmed at the Russian advance, are beginning to leave the capital for neutral countries. Malines Cellars Still Filled With Refugees; Garrison at Brussels Not Overl 0,000 Men London, 2:10 a. m.—The Chronicle's Antwerp correspondent, who has Just visited Malines, says: Recent reports of the disastrous effect of the German bombardment of tha/ city were greatly exaggerated. AbfluJ 80 houses were destroyed but tb.v towers of the Cathedral of St. and other famous landmarks t undamaged. “The cellars and underground pass ages are still filled with refugees, who are unwilling to come out, although bombardment ceased long ago,” inister Stovall Can’t Find j Many Missing Americans Washington.—Minister Stovall, at Berne, Switzerland, Is experienc,- ig much dificullty in finding hundreds of Americans for whom inquiry as been made through the state department. The minister is not per itted to use the telephone or telegraph and when an Inquiry is made r an American he must employ a messenger. “Just as fast as Americans are registered in one place,” stated a re port from Mr. Stovall, “they move into another." , The minister also mentioned difficulties encountered in learning what trains departing tourists had taken. His reports show Americans are slowly making their way to seaports. ASK FOR $33,000,000. Tokio.—Announcement is made that the government will ask the Diet for an appropriation of 56.000,000 yen (about $28,000,000) for a war fund and 10,000,000 yen (5,000,000) with which to build destroyers. —it answers every beverage re ■ quirement —vim, vigor, refreshment, M wholesomeness. „ 0 % It will satisfy you .

Theatricai Notes of Interest | i Howe’s Tours to Open the Grand. Those who fail to see Hyman 11. Howe’s reproduction at the Grand next Monday and Tuesday evening of how Uncle Sam "made the. dirt fly” at Pan ama will miss one of the greatest spec tacles of the ages—scenes which at no other time or place have been or will again be enacted. It is now free ly admitted by the highest authorities that Mr. Howe's reproduction is the only one that is absolutely perfect photographically, and that, at the same time, does justice to every important phase of the construction work; and this will be the only opportunity of seeing It as Mr. Howe will never pre sent this series here again. When “Howe travelers” first gaze Into the mighty rift in the earth's crust and see at the base the pigmy engines and the ant-like forms signaling and rushing to and fro; while they hear the clink of drills eating their way into the rock; the. shrill whistles of locomotives giv ing warnings of blasts; the rumble of dirt, trains plying over tracks; the crash of a six-ton boulder onto a flat ear; the clanking of the huge chains; the creaking of strange machinery; the cries of men and the boom of blasts; they can, for the first time, form an adequate conception of the immensity of a task that no words can ever convey to the mind. They can then realize the prodigious proportln is of the work and obtain a precise com prehension of the Infinity of detail In volved in the undertaking. Suddenly the scenes change from the broadly perspective, and from moving panoramas, to close range ob servation of the gigantic dredges bur rowing into the hillside, then shaking and trembling with the effort they swing their long arms over a fist car and disgorge huge mouthfuls of dirt. The American inventive mind bps adapted these monsters of steel to their task so well that they perform It with an accuracy that Is almost uncanny. It Is. however, only one of the many mechanical marvels shown in a reproduction which is replete with surprises of mechanical ingenuity and Skill. The program will include many other big new features. SOUTHERN LEAGUE Cracker* 1, Baron* 0. At Birmingham— Score: r, h. E.

Dept. 50 PLENTY OF VESSELS TO MOVE FREIGHT IF TRADE IS DEVELOPED Mr. George Armstrong, Stra chan & Co., of Savannah, Talks of South America. Profitable Commerce For Southern Firms. Savannah. Gn - *' "All of this talk re- RardinK the inability to secure steam ships is a bugbear there arc more steamships than there is cotton; rates "ill be necessarily high at first, but this will he more from the fear of not getting full cargoes than from any possibility of shortage in steamship room.” An Authority. MT. George Armstrong of (he ship ping - firm of Shtaohan & Co., who has hud wide experience in truns-Atlantic shipping, who Is quoted above, this morning expressed his belief that a large and important commerce can be built in between Savannah ami South American ports and lie has been gratified to note tlie recent discussion of the question. “I think this will he a slow develop ment,' said Mr. Armstrong, “but there is i decidedly big field. The most sensi ble manner in which to handle tlie pro position will be by utilizing at first two, or perhaps three, ports of loading cargo until the importance of the commerce for South America warrants full cargoes to he laden here, or until full cargoes can be provided from tlie single port.” Low Rates. Mr. Armstrong stressed the fact that ther would he no difficulty in aecurtlng bottoms with which to move the freights destined for South American points and he is inclined to believe from ripe ex perience In shtping freight rates would become more reasonable after the ability of the business men of Savannah to pro vide full cargoes for regular suiting dates is demonstrated.

QUIT TAKING RISKY CALOMEL Here is a vegetable tonic that Is far better for you to take than the dan gerous drug and poison called calo mel. You never can tell when calomel is going to “get you.” That’s the | worst thing about taking so unccr l tain and dangerous a drug for consti [ pation and liver trouble. Calomel is liable to salivate you or “knock you out” for at least a day the very next time you try it. All first-class drug stores have the mild vegetable remedy that success fully takes the place of calomel. This remedy is Dodson’s Liver Tone, a very pleasant tasting liquid that gives quick but gentle relief from constipation, torpid or “lazy” liver. Dodson’s Liver Tone Is fully guar anteed, and if you buy a large bottle for fifty cents and it does not entirely satisfy you, the drug store where you bought it will promptly give you your money back with a smile. Dodson’s is fine for both children and grown people.
