All Information As To Movements Of Army and Navy is Being Rigidly Suppressed.

GERMANY'S MOVE CONSIDERED TO HAVE BLASTED PEACE HOPE

Italy Deserts Triple Alliance But It Is Believed All Other Nations Will Stand Firmly With

Allies.

LONDON, Aug. 1—All of Great Britain's military and naval movements have been rigidly suppressed. The admiralty alone knovs the position of the battle fleet. It is known to be in the North Sea, but just where is a carefully guarded secret. No attempt has been made to communicate with it by wireless. Certain instructions were sent out last night by messenger on the ships that sailed from Plymouth. The fact that the great German fleet is believed to be in a strategic position in the North sea also with wireless open to catch the slightest signal has kept the big towers in the navy, yards and at the coast stations silent.

That the declaration of war transmitted to the czar in St. Petersburg tonight will precipitate a cataclysm that will stagger humanity seems certain. There seems not a singe glimmer of hope in the sky. Germany has admittedly gone too far to recede. Nor con Russia now back down. Italy has apparently deserted the triple alliance but her example will be followed by no other nation. i7 Russian Fleet Objective.

What remains of Russia's former sea strength, a single battle squadron, is believed to be oft Bornholm, in the eastern part of the Baltic sea. Experts here would not be surprised to learn that a German fleet has alreaady sailed with instructions to wipe it out. Such action la considered absolutely necessary by naval experts. They say that the Russian fleet constitutes a menace to German shipping and that its annihilation is absolutely necessary l|p Germany. If It can be wiped out of jkistence before the French and English JTar flotillas become active enemies of Itermany, the kaiser will have gained a strategic advantage. *C The feeling against the German empire throughout all Great Britain is most intense. Anti-German demonstrations have already taken place in the

west end. Police quelled a near riot of Frenchmen at the German embassy. The police have controlled all demonstrations up to the present, but it is feared that there may be real trouble in the provinces before the Germans can flee the country.

Rain Halts Demonstrations. Soon after midnight a heavy rain stp~ted. It had a very depressing effect on the Anglo-French street demonstrations, which, earlier In the evening had threatened to result in serious clashes between the police and the crowds.

The crowds that had been parading streets singing patriotic airs and cheering for the British and French armies melted away before the rain and soon the streets were almost deserted.

The government has taken possession of the equipment of some of the railway systems. This waa explained as a precautionary action entirely. When war is declared the army will take over the entire railways of the nation and will then opeate them with soldiers.

The pressure of hunger is already beginning to be felt. Importation of food supplies has almost stopped. Prices of everything have trebled in the last 72 hours:. All British steamships plying to the continent with the exception of French ports are tied up awaiting developments. The lines to Canada, the United States and West India and South American porta will continue to run for the present,

Use of Panama Canal,

England declines to admit that Bhe is not mistress of the seas. But until the question of supremacy with Germany has been settled, it is not pected that the traffio through the Suez canal will be resumed.

Incidentally, it waa stated tonight that when the Panama canal Is opened to traffic next month, as is expected, much of the Suez commerce will be diverted through that waterway until •. the present war ends.

Because of the absence of real news from the continent, the rumor factory was working overtime tonight. With ^Germany and Russia isolated through the government censorship of the telegraph and telephone lines, it could •not be learned officially whether the .declaration of war had been followed by immediate skirmishing along the border. Reports by way of Paris said that it had. These accounts were ,»~yague but they indicated that the soldiers of the rival armies were throwing up entrenchments at strategic points along the border line while the river

bridges and railway trestles closo to the border had been demolished. The telephone that extends under the channel to France is in possession of the French military authorities and is being used only for military business. Paris was said to be wildly excited, but the French government was still striving to secure concessions from Germany which would permit both sides to gracefully back down. The task is "believed here to be hopeless.

BANDITS GET $6,100 AT THEATER WINDOW

CHICAGO, Aug. 1. Two well dressed bandits at 9 o'clock tonight held up Chester Houston, cashier of Cohan's Grand opera house, across from the city hall and in the busy section of the loop, and escaped in an auto with $6,100 in cash. Houston reported the robbery to the police. Houston said he was in the ticket office making out the week's payroll when two strangers entered an almost deserted lobby. One of them, he said, asked for a pair of tickets to tonight's performance. When he returned to the window, with the tickets, one of the men, he said, thrust a revolver In his face. Another employe of the theatre, who entered the ticket office was covered by the second robber, Houston says.

IN RATE CASES

had been generally anticipated. Commissioner Daniels, recently appointed by President Wilson and Commissioner McChord announced dissenting opinions favoring going further than the majority and giving the railroads the full Increase asked.

The commission showed the railroads how they could increase their revenues by more economic efficent management and by elimination of free service. It suggested the total abolishment of the free pass system with the declaration that this causes an annual loss of $18,000,000 to the railroads.

The commission discussed the need of increased passenger revenues with the statement "existing statutes in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan may be obstacles to the raising of patts6nger rates In those states, but we are confident that if those statutory fares are clearly shown to be unduly burdensome to the carriers, the people of those great states will cheerfully acquiesce as the people of New England have done, in reasonable Increases, and that the necessary legislative authority will be given."

WILL LEAD HIS ARMY INTO WAR

Expected That No Time Will be Lost in Striking Decisive Blow at Enemy.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.—Martial law has succeeded civil rule throughout Russia. This act followed immediately on Germany's declaration of war tonight. All demonstrations have been checked by the troops who guard the public buildings, banks and railway stations.

The declaration of war was accepted as an expected development. The mobilization of the entire Russian army had paved the way for it. The stolid Russian characteristics were never better demonstrated than when the extra editions of the newspapers telling the news were shouted on the street. Only In the cafes was there much of, a sale. At the barracks, where the reservists were reporting to the colors, a few papers were bought. But the majority of the inhabitants of this city at least halve been ready for war for! several days. The government provlded imperial honors for the German ambassador who furnished it with the kaiser's formal announcement that, hostilities werev to commerce. He was driven to the office in the embassy carriage, escorted by a troop of cossacks. The same escort accompanied him back to the embassy and remained there while he completed his preparations for leaving the city. Meanwhile a special train, with one of the roya carriages attached, was in waiting for him in the station to carry him across the frontier.

All information regarding army and navy plans are careful guarded. It is certain that the czar will take the field in personal command of his army. He has been in almost constant consultation with the chiefs in the general staff preparing for action. It is believed that no time will be lost in striking a decisive blow. Already rumors are current of a forward movement, but for various reasons that cannot be confirmed.

All transportation facilities everywhere in the nation have been commanded by the military. Automobiles of every sort, the big motor truck to the palatial touring car, have been impressed for use in connection with the completion of the mobilization. Russia is ready, far more ready than when the unfortunate struggle with Japan TTas Initiated, and is fighting close to her base of supplies. Her enormous army can be depended on to give a good account of Itself.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—With tho shadow of Europe's war cast across his path, President Wilson devoted this crucial dfcy to untangling dangerously threatening problems of International and external transportation.

SEALER 10 ENFORCE NEW WEIGHT STATUTE

Beginning September 1 Practically All Commodities Will Be Sold No longer By Measure.

Preparations are being made by John Masselink, city sealer of weights and measures, for the enforcement of the state law which goes into effect September 1, and which provides that all commodities be sold by weight and that if placed in measures by the dealer, tho weight shall be placed on the outside of the package.

According to the city sealer the law waa passed two years ago but the dealers were given two years to get ready for the enforcement of the act. Masselink says the new law will not only be a boon to the buyer, but also to the wholesaler. Already, he says, the wholesalers are preparing to have weightfl marked on all their measures.

Heretofore, said the sealer, if a person went to a wholesaler or retailer and asked for a barrel of potatoes, he might get 80, 90 or 100 pounds and the risk would all be the purchaser's as the dealer is protected by the fact that he sold a barrel. "Under the new law, however, all will be sold by weight.

During the month of July the sealer paid particular attention to the paper milk bottles which are coming more Into use. He made numerous Inspections as shown by his monthly report issued yesterday aild a total. of 800 bottlea were condemned as a result. All were found to bo short in measure about one ounce.

Of 131 seals inspected during the mouth, five were confiscated and 23 were condemned for repairs. One hundred and thirty-four dry measures were Inspected and 24 condemnedThree liquid measures were condemned out of many inspections, while only three avoirdupois weights were condemned. Eighty-three inspections of automatic gasoline measures were made and all were found to be in good shape. Eighteen coal loads were reweighed. A total of 1,307 Inspections were made during the month.

Hundreds Shut Off From Means of Returning Home—Gouged by

Hotel Proprietors.

LONDON, Aug. 1.—Hundreds of marooned Americans are arriving tonight from the continent. All are anxious to get home, but few have been able to secure accommodations. They report hundreds of Americans still in France and Germany and absolutely unable to get away from these nations, tions.

While nearly all Americans are out of Austria they had a most unpleasant time before getting through the boundaries. The Austrian hotel proprietors at the health resorts refused to accept anything but Austrian money and to obtain this, even with British gold, the tourists were obliged to pay a premium amounting to 100 per cent. The Mauretania, which sailed today, was crowded to capacity.

Many notables of the stage, who had booked suites on German and French liners, were lad to get berths in inside staterooms. Members of the New York state Panama-Pacific exposition commisson, including State Senators Frawley, Foley and Murtaugh, are reported, marooned at the Hotel Astra, in Paris, because their letters of credit have been turned down by bankers and they are waiting to have cash U"&nsferred from the United States.

Young Assistant Engineer at Commercial Distillery Killed When Heavy Jack Falls on Him. -vi5

Crushed beneath the weight of a' heavy hydraulic Jack which he was using in making repairs to some machin-' ery at the Commercial distillery about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Jame3 Jones, 23 years old, assistant engineer, was killed. According to workmen who were nearby Jones had been making repairs on some machinery and had used the heavy jack. He was in the act of taking it down when it seemed that his foot slipped and he. fell. The jack fell on his head, crush ing the skull at the base of the brain on the left side.

Fellow workmen rushed to his aid but Jones was dead when they reached him. The body was taken to the P. J. Ryan morgue on South Sixth street where an autopsy was held by Coroner John O. Garrigus.

Jones had been employed at the distillery for some years and lived with his aged grandmother at 510 Prairie- f— ton avenue. He was practically her ,,. sole support, but leaves no other survivors, with the exception of a step^fj grandfather.

The young man had worked himself up by night study from a position as'» fireman at the distillery to that of assistant engineer and was considered one of the most faithful empfoyes at the plant.

The Jack was a very heavy one and, waa used only in making repairs on heavy machinery. It is thought by fellow workmen that instead of call-* Ing for help to take the jack down from Its position the young man thought to save trouble by taking it down himself.

Funeral arrangements have not been made. ... "W
