ST. rETBRSBURG, Aug. 15. Gen.

proclamation thanking tho reservists
thero for their readiness and orderli
ness in coming to the colors, and as
suring the Polish xople that their
persons and property will be especial
ly protected by th Russia troops.
Tho ' strictest military censorship
that Ilusia has ever ordered went into
effect today. All correspondents were
warned that the only news of the mil
itary movement that they miffht send
were the ortleial statements issued by
the war oilice. The following pro
clamation to t.ie army was Issued to
day by Grand Duke Nicholas Nichol

"The grand duke generalissimo de
sires every man under his command
clearly to understand that the present
war "was provoked by enemies of the
Slav empire. Therefore Russian
armies must on no account do harm

the Poles entitles them, whether in

EFFECT JUNCTION TO
MEET TEUTONIC WAVE
Big Battle Near Between From
1,000,000 to 2,000,000
Soldiers Trained for
Slaughter.
BY II HUBERT TEMPLE.
LONDON, Au. 15. From tho iron
hand of the military censorship there
escapes only enough to show that the
Germans are operating on a vast scale
In an endeavor to advance all along
the huge battle line that threatens the
weakest defences of France and that
the French and British forces have
effected a junction to oppose tho wave
of teutonic warriors.
The big battle is near. The ffigan
tic armies numbering from 1,000.000
to 2.000,000 men trained for Flauhter
by all the devices of "civilization" can
perfect, are almost at death grips.
This is shown by the tightening of
the censorship here and the following
announcement from the Belgian min
istry of war at Brussels:
"In view of the present disposition
of the French and Belgian armies it
has been decided in the interest of the
country not to make any further an
nouncement of the movement of the
armies.
"The government relies upon pa
triotism of the press to maintain si
lence on the military operations. The

A dispatch from Nish says that
400,000 Austrian troops who made a
concentrated attack last night along
tho Servian frontier were repulsed
with heavy losses."
This is partially confirmed by a Rc
tuer dispatch reporting- that the
Austrians were repulsed at Belgrade
and along- tno Danube though they
succeeded in crossing tho River Save
after an incessant bombardment and
penetrated Shabats and Loznitza.
Shabats is forty miles west of Bel
grade. GERMAN CRULSER IS
OFF SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.
The German cruiser, Leipzig, was
sighted near the Golden Gate
early today, though it was thought
that she had sailed north. The
cruiser is believed to be lying in
wait for the British steamer,
Cloughton, and that vessel has
been warned by wireless to stay
within the three-mile limit. The
Cloughton is bringing four thou
sand tons of coal which would be
of great help to the Leipzig.

TURKEY SAY
T
FAUL
Takes No Heed of Demand in
Goeben and Breslau Affair
Due to Confiscation of
Turkish Ships By
England.
ROME, Aug. 15. Sir John
French, commander of the
British forces in Belgium, and
Gen. Joffre, commander-in-chief
of the French forces,
having effected a juncture
with the Belgium forces, have
planned a long line defensive
assault on the Germans, ac
cording to a report received
here from the frontier, and
the skirmishing of the past
week is fast leading up to a
fierce engagement.
The plan is to wipe the
Mediterranean 'and Adriatic of
the German fleet simultane-
Ously with the battle on land.
Italy's position on account of
the purchase of the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau
is gradually shifting more and
more toward favoritism for
England and her allies. Tur
key has threatened that any
attempt to molest her in her
enjoyment of her new acquisi
tions will mean a declaration
of war against England and
cooperation with Germany.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.
That the Turkish government will
refuse to pay any heed to the
wishes of England and France and
their allies in the matter of yield
ing up the two German warships
which it is reported have taken
refuge in the Dardanelles, and
that any demands on the part of
England especially may bring up
on the allies a declaration of war
from Turkey, was the intimation
in a statement made by the Xurk
ish ambassador, A. Rustenibey,
today.
The ambassador declared that
"England has outraged not only
Turkish sentiment but that of the
whole Islamic world," by her
seizure of two Turkish dread
naughts in English ship yards, and
thereby has forfeited any appeal
to international law in the matter
of the German warships.
"If there Is as reason to believe.'
jald tlio ambassador, two Turkish
dreadnauchts, tho Sultan Osman nnd
tfie Ilelcliade. in construction for
Turkey in British yards, both of
which liad already been paid for, and
one of wliicli, formerly tho Itio J)e
Janeiro, was taken over from Brazil,
were seized by England which would
reiresent a startling violation of In
ternational law, Uien Ilnland and
her allies would have lost Uio risht to
xnako any representations to Turkey,
if slko decides whicli I do not bay is
Uie case to buy from Germany tho
Cloeben and the iiresiaii, wmcii ru
mor says liave taken refuse in Turk
ish water.
In other words, the artion of
Great liritaln In regard to the abote
mentioned Turkish drcadnaimhts has
liberated Turkey from the restraints
of international law In rtxrard to Eng
land and her allies. I do not mean
to 8ay that Turkey will avail herself
of her freedom In this matter but the
action of England may be described as
a senseless breach of International
law which serves no uefid purpo
considering tho naval superiority she
at present enjoys over Germany and
has outraged not only Turkish senti
ment but that of tho whole Islamio
world."
The Turkish torpedo boats commu
nicated to the German commander tho
result of their reconnaissances out
side the straits. The Turks also sup
piled both the German ships with coal.
The Goeben and Breslau searched
several British. French and Grek
merchantmen lylnfc- in the Dardanelles
and removed the French flatr ar.a tho
wireless apparatus from the Tessa. -geries
maritime liner Sashatien.
