Deutchland Sails With
Escort To The Ocean
BALTIMORE, Aug. 1.—The
Deutschland sailed for the open sea
down the Chesapeake at 5:30 p.
m. this afternoon. The police boat
Lannin and the Coast Guard cutter
.Apache escorted the under sea liner
to within the three mile limit while
many American warships patrol the
limit line guarding against, any
violation of the country’s neutral
ity. The bay was crowded with
small and large craft which sig
nailed Godspeed td the departing
' liner, Captain Koenig waving fore
wells as his liner passed down the
Chesapeake. A number of excursion
and other passenger coast steamers
were warned off while approaching
the Cape.
The scene on the outside was re
markable. Away in the offing and
outside the three mile limit stood
the hostile battleships. They stood
well clear of the American waters
but with attention evidently direct
ed to the liner for they closed in
immediately the Deutschland sub
merged. French and British flags
' were flying on the cruisers which
were seeking to gain the liner for
their prey.
The cruisers were steaming rapid
ly out to sea shortly after they had
'closed in, and were almost out ot
i
sight before dark.
AUSTRO-GERMAN CAMPAIGN
COLLAPSING IN GALICIA
PRETROGRAD, August 1.—The
collapse of the Austro-German cam- |
paign in Galicia is now imminent
with the Teutons in full retreat
along the entire front.
Details of Letchitsky’s lightening
like drive upon the Austrian flanks j
when the Teutons expected the
Russian commander to be smashing :
his way across the Bukowina passes
to’ Hungary, show that the attacks
have met with unprecedented suc
He has completely enveloped the
forces of von Bothmer who being
practically bottled must cut his
way through the encircling Russian
forces or surrender.
The Germans are evacuating
Kovel, Vladamir. and Volhynski tak
ing food and munitions with then
as they retreat.
The Russians who have occupiec
Brody have now also destroyed th<
railroad in the Austrian rear, me
nacing the retirement of the Teutoi
forces.
General Brussiloff is continuing
his success with his northern wing
and bringing up his main forces tc
support the wedge advance which
he made above Kovel.
The Russians continue to capturf
isolated bands of Teuton soldiers
| that have been unable to get away
in time or have been hacked off the
■ main body by the blows of the Slav
commanders.
j The most optimistic critic admits
that the Russian success transcends
all expectations.
PJ5TROGRAD, Aug. 1.—General
Kaledines now controls the Stocok
hod river. General Sakharoff has
driven the Germans badly from
Brody, making many captures.
Kovel is now gravely menaced and

KAISER SENDS MANIFESTO
TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE
BERLIN, Aug. 1.—The capital
and the empire is ringing to the
burning words of the Kaiser uttered
in the most important manifesto
to the people since the war began.
The manifesto is issued to the
German people through the Chan
cellor, Bethmann von Hollweg and
is a plea for unity of action, pati
ence and preseverance so that vic
tory may come. It breathes a hope
ful strain throughout, deplores the
Hood Shed but glorifies the object
for which the lives have been sacri
ficed: to maintain the honor, free
dom and integrity of the glorious
German nation.
It concludes with a memorable
exordium “Peace stirs humanity
and its call is earnest and insistent.
But our enemies insane battle cry is
j “Destroy Germany” and that, they
: can never do.” He blames the
enemies of the fatherland for
further bloodshed although they
know well that Germany is in
vincible. Germany keeps fighting
for her national existence against
the hounding foes which are power
less to destroy it.
To better assure a speedy victory
and to complete the humiliation of
their foes, the Germans must rely
on better, stronger and more un
yielding faith in the future, know
ing that come what may, be their
enemies ever so strong and venge
ful, Germans will issue from this
war certain then to “live free,
secure and strong in an assured
peace, guaranteeing the social de
velopment of the people and the
undisturbed expression of the
genius of the labor of the people’s
mind and hand”.
The manifesto has aroused a
wonderful manifestation of patriotic
fervor throughout the length and
breadth of the land.

DEMOCRATS OPEN FIRE
WITH LONG RANGE GUNS
There was a big crowd punctually
in attendance at 8:30 o’clock tc
hear the democratic candidates foi
Delegate to Congress and foi
Territorial Attorney - Genera:
respectively. Whether it was thal
the speakers were detained or tliai
the arrangements were in that way
it was ebout nine o'clock before tin
pbi-fi rut committee to the mush
of America marched up the centel
aisle and bowed their acknowledge
ntents to the audience while Grigsb;
and Sulzer remained on the plat
form to tell the people all about it
Mr. Grigsby said that he was then
to introduce the next delegate t<
Congress and then introduced him
self as candidate for attorney gen
era!. He admitted his lack of ex
tremely close acquaintances witl
Alaska but lie hoped to knoyv a:
' much about it as Mr. Gilmore whei
lie got through with liis campaign
Nome. was going to elect the nex
; attorney-general.
lie was for Sulzer and was prom
I to stand on the democratic ticke
[with him and he wanted' it knowi
that lie would be with him through
out the campaign. He was opposed
to carpet baggers, that was his plat
form and he paid his compliments
to gentlemen from Virginia and
from Oregon.
Then the band played Dixie as
salve to the soul of anyone from
i the Sunny socth.
Senator Sulzer said that it was a
■ gratification to him to stand before
(his audience tonight, for nothing
more representative of Alaska could
be found than the audience gather
, ed before him. It was one of the
i joys oi ids life that he was af
i forded an opportunity of visiting
them in Nome and to see their faces
and to shake their hands for ho
■ was proud to say he wras an Alaskan
i and he loved Alaska. He then en
i tered into a very optimistic review
i of Nome’s future being confident
. for this section of Alaska and he
: did not believe its greatness was in
the past. He had confidence in its
1 future, but observed many things
t that' the country wanted which it
i had not. He referred to roads, mails
harbor at least lor small boats,
telegraphic facilities. Most politi
cians were long in promises and
short in performances. He would
make no promises but would do his
utmost if elected to secure Nome its
needs. If elected he would be a
representative of each and every sec
tion not one particular section, lie
denounced Wickersham and Plnchot
ism, said that as far as monopolies
were concerned, Wickersham was
the greatest of all and had mono
polized the situation for eight years
and had accomplished nothing.
The Senator then gave a review
of liis life in southeastern Alaska,
reverting from time to time to the
disabilities under which the country
suffered due to the neglect of the
'officials, part of which was due to
Wickersham's policy. The audience
was sympathetic and evidently there
was no shortage of democrats to in
terrupt the speakers with succeed
ing rounds of applause. The music
of the band was by no means tho
least appreciated feature of tho
meeting.
GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
IS FELT IN HUGHES ADDRESS
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—The
Hughes notification reply last night
at Carnegie hall is frankly re
garded as a disappointment and
some republican papers have ven
tured to tell Hughes that he must
be more definite in his policies and
less Inclined to generalize. On all
sides it is admitted that while his
address is unusually well Blinding,
very few are any the wiser after
reading it.
The democratic papers are chuck
ling with some satisfaction over the
ingenuous attack upon Wilson
which is confined to denunciation.

As one of the leading democratic
papers points out, Hughes con*
demos Wilson’s foreign policy but
falls to explain wherein it erred.
The World thinks that the main
test of the policy of Wilson is the
fact he passed through the most
trying time in the entire history of
the United States when every day
threatened to embroil us in the
Eufopean war and we are still at
peace. Other democrats mockingly
invite Hughes to say what his stand
would be in the Lusitania case and
other questions that arose. He la
accused of being a moral coward
fearful to state definitely what ac
tion should have been taken ana
would have been taken were ho
President. Many papers bluntly ask
Hughes if he would have gone to
war and if so on what side.
It is allowed that the Foreign po
licy of the United States govern
ment is the real issue, and compara
tively little attention is paid to
Hughes tariff or fiscal proposals.
The Post which is politically
neuter just now suggests that
Hughes will need lots of live help
^ to put him over.
