WAR ZONE IN EWE

Terre Hautean Writes of Scenes in Nice and Milan at Outbreak of War.

Harry F. Montagnier. of Terre Haute, nephew of Messrs.

The French are completing their mobilization in admirable order. In Nice, yesterday, I saw the Fifteenth army corps. By the 8th inst., they will have between three and four million men under their colors—men who are determined to win this time or vanish as a nation. Many here venture the assertion that the war will end the domination of Germany in Europe. The British consul has informed me that England has declared war against Germany and Austria.

The Italians are terribly excited and will probably.be fighting Austria within a month. I fear we are on the verge of the greatest calamity the world has ever seen. It will take poor old Europe a century to recover from the effects of the struggle. I shudder today to think of the old world returning to savagery. Think of it. Today there are 16,000,000 men under arms and as I write terriffic engagements are being fought on the French frontier.

Paper Money Valueless.

August 10.—The financial situation here is appalling, even in such countries as Switzerland and Italy which have remained neutral. Two days before the French began to mobilize their army their bank notes were worth about one-half of one per cent more than the Italian bank notes. The day war was declared French paper money became absolutely valueless. Even at Ventimille, on the frontier, I was unable to exchange French bank notes at fifty per cent discount.

Since the moratorium has been in force the banks are only paying about five per cent a day of the amounts on deposit and in sums not to exceed two hundred fiancs at a time. The whole system of international money exchange seems to have gone to pieces. Yesterday a Russian was oDiiged to pay 10,000 roubles in Russian paper money for 10,000 lires in Italian paper money,—say $6,000 for the. equivalent of $2,000. American gold certificates are worth even less than Russian.

We shall probably try to reach Geneva and remain their un^il the end of the war. My only fear is that the Germans, who have thrown aside every rule of neutrality, may invade Switzerland in order to strike at Lyons, but In view of the fact that the Swiss have massed 35,000 on their frontier, an excellent shots, such an outrage will hardly be attempted.

It Is of course too early in the day to attempt to forecast the outcome ot the war, but it seems that the chances ultimately are very much in favor of the French. The French are determined to hold their frontier and are fighting to the last man. "the Germans are merely attempting to crush a powerful adversary. If the French can hold out until the Russians get mobilized the German army will find that it has its hands full. The Italians -have from 800,000 to 1,000,000 men under arms, hardy fighters, and they may sieze this opportunity to annex Trentine and Trieste and settle a few old scores with the Austrians.

Before the Battles.

Before this letter reaches you, you will probably have. read of some of the most desperate fighting ever recorded, for this time the French are determined to wipe out the stain of their defeat in 1S70. I saw 50,000 of them in line at Nice and I assure you they mean business. The response to the order to mobilize exceeded even the expectations of the military authorities. They now have 3,500,000 men under the colors, every one of whom has done two or Jhree years' service. The Germans have probably a roiflion more men but they have France, Russia and England to contend with. The English and Russians too, are out for blood. Should the Italians join the fray, and every indication is that they will, we probably will have no news from America for many weeks.

Americans Stranded.

There are thousands of Americans stranded throughout the war zone. But yesterday one of the Vanderbilts arrived in Milan. Although he had with him ,$10,000 in French money he was unable to raise a penny. Such cases are reported in many places. Financial operations have suddenly eased and banks and individuals are olding onto every penny they can lay ieir hands on.

and Edward P. Fairbanks, has undergone some interesting experiences in Switzerland and Italy since the war began. The first letters to be received from him came Monday. An extract of the letters follows:

August 5th.—The unexpected outbreak of war has resulted in an almost total suspension of all banking operations. On the 1st inst, when the French began their mobilization I was up in the mountains and unable to get down to Nice until the 3d. Yesterday I obtained a safe conduct from the frontier and succeeded in reaching San Remo by cab with about forty cents in my pocket.

VETERANS LIVE OVER WARTIMES 0F'6I-'65

National Encampment of Grand Army at Detroit Marked by Enthusiastic Scenes.

DETROIT, Sept. 1.—While veterans of the civil war and their ladies enjoyed themselves on the water today hundreds of thousands of flags and banners snapped and fluttered over Detroit. Since the 48th national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic began last Saturday, the city has been the scene of patriotic demonstrations without number. Memories of '61 and thrill of reports from the European war of today have been responsible for many unusual incidents.

Local thaters, particularly moving picture shows, have offered "appropriate programs" to attract the old soldiers.

Bull Run and Gettysburg were fought again yesterday and today and other historic incidents were reviewed in the same manner.

Remembrances of events of war time, which has become dimmed to white-haired warriors, grew bright again. The inevitable happened. Enthusiasm, such as the playhouses never before experienced, has been a common occurrence. Some times the climax to a thrilling scene has brought a ripping, piercing battle cry from a Grand Army man. Other comrades needed only the signal to join in the response.

Considerable routine business was transacted this forenoon at committeo meetings by the wonien's national organizations. The Sons of Veterans and the association of former prisoners of war also held sessions.

The first public meeting will be held tonight at the Light Guar.1 armory. A number of welcoming addresses and responses are on the program. Governor Woodbridge N- Ferris, of Michigan, Mayor Oscar M. Marx, of Detroit and Washington Gardner, of Albion, aommander in chief of the G. A. R., are among the speakers.

The annual parade will take place tomorrow.

BRITISH STEAMER IS SUNK.

German Liner Sends Holmwood to the Bottom. NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—The. British steamship Holmwood has been sunk by a German cruiser off the coast of South America, according to a cablegram received here by the owners of the Katherine Park, which has the crew of the ship aboard. The cablegram, which was from Rio Janeiro, did not state the time or place of the sinking, nor djd it give the name of the German cruiser.

Wealthy Belgians to Guarantee War Toils

LONDON, Sept. 1.-3:10 a. m.—A dispatch to the Express from The Hague says that the four richest men in Belgium have guaranteed the payment to Germany of the war tax which the Germans levied against Belgium. The four men are Ernest Solvay, the alkali king Baron Lambert, the Belgian representative of the Rothschilds Raoul Warocque, the mine owner, and Baron Empain. the railway magnate. "Had not this guarantee been given," says the correspondent, "Brussels would probably have been treated as Louvain was. Big guns were mounted In front of the palace ready for bombardment."
