Flanking Move Success--Russia Ready SAYS JAPAN WILL NOT ATTACK CHINA (Continued on Page TWO.) French Statesman Who Negotiated Agreement Between France and Toklo Explains Situation. (Special Cable w The Daily News and New York Times.) PAftIS, Aug. 18.—An editorial by Stephen Pichon in the Petit Journale entitled "Japan'* ultimatum," cannot fall to interest, owing to Mr. Pichon's knowledge. He says: "As foreign minister In the Cle- menceau cabinet, I was invited to negotiate, with the full assent of my colleagues, the agreement of 1907 between France and the Tokio government, which was a prelude to the ententes some weeks later between Japan and Russia, f cannot overpraise tho ability of M. Ishwolsky (ambassador of Russia In Paris) whose task was the establishment of the entente witli England and the Russian reconciliation with Japan. We see its developments today. "Japan, allied with England, having signed with France a convention whose range Is far wider than has 'been Btated and having settled with Russia all difficulties consequent on the war, was absolutely bound to intervene In the crisis produced by the Germnn emperor. She did so by handing* an ultimatum which is tantamount to a declaration of war. "Japan's form of action calls for remarks from those familiar with the Far East and aware of the world-wide events affecting China. 'The error must be dispelled that Japan Is Heeklng a pretext to war on China or means to permit acts of violence against China. "Japan's Initiative is Inspired by far loftier and extensive Interests. It is dictated primarily by the terms of the alliance with Great Britain. It has a further deep reason in view bf Germany's position in the province of Shan-tung, which menaces the Japanese empire. "Suppose Germany as the possessor of a European hegemony and able to dispose of considerable economic and military resources in the Far East. Fears Complications Through Peking. "Then ask yourself what would become of Japan's power from a military and commercial standpoint. "Therefore, the Intervention of the mikado was by no means caused by anything ajffectlng [the integrity of China. Any honorable person can immediately be assured regarding UiIb. But, unfootunately, everyone Is not honorable—for Instance, Germany and Austria. "It would have been preferable not to leave the question in suspension for a week which Is liable to cause a controversy with China. Presumable Berlin will try to secure Peking's sympathy for Itself by declaring that Germany has ceded Shan-tung to the Chinese. It will he the task of Japan and-her allies to frustrate this maneuver If it be attempted."

This feint attack, without much weight, was beaten back. On Saturday the real German attack began In an attempt to strike toward Waterloo and France. The battle started with the pushing forward of cavalry supported by Infantry and artillery. "This entire force, as soon as it came in contact with the Belgians was virtually surrounded and Its advance guards exterminated. "The shattered fragments fell hack on the massed German armies awaiting the attack. " Casualties Heavy, "Later, on Sunday, the Germnn attack began from St. Trond. 11 miles east of Tlerlemont.

Then the French came up and heavy flring_was heard nil along the line all'"day yesterday at Wavre. "The German advance did not follow any of the main roads. It cut across these, using the smaller roads. The Germans were unable to operate their heavier artlllory. Germany Enters Lion's Mouth. "The outstanding fact In the developments of the present week is the dramatic abandonment of Brussels, which was nn act of self-abnegation by the Belgians. The Belgian state leaders almost broke down and wept In the council chamber when they decided, for the good of Europe, Belgium* must allow the Germans to enter Brussels. "Brussels* is being held out to Germany as a bait. Germany may destroy Brussels, but the deeper she strikes tho more surely does her head enter tho lion's mouth.

On the whole, tiie enemy made but feeble resistance, retreating rather than facing nn engagement. Throughout the afternoon tlio allied force passed through a series of burned villages from which tho invnders had been forced to retreat hastily in many cases. They had set fire to them by means of petroleum. Everywhere one heard tales of desolation and of outrages by the Germans us they retreated before the triumphant alties. I saw some houses still burning. They had been fired not two hours previously by the enemy. The allies, especially tho' Belgians, are in a Btate of fury bordering on madness at these outrages and have vowed that they--will exact a, full measure of retribution for these brutalities. Ride Down Uhlans. Several times tiie French attempted to bring the retreating Germans Into uctlon but only once did they succeed. A large force of Uhlans accompanied by machine guns made a fierce attack on a Belgian Infantry regiment At that moment two squadrons of French drugoons came from a wood, taking the Germans ln the flank, and rode them down, scattering them in alt directions. The survivors fled holterskelter across the field) taking refuge In a village neur Rnmillies. They set this plnce on fire and then retreated anew In order to escape the vengeance of the pursuing French and Belgians. By their appearance on the field of action toduy the French cavalry completed a lone forced march of which it is not advisable to give particulars here, but when It comes to bo written it will certainly runk among tho finest things ever accomplished by any mounted force, not excepting Stewart's great raid during the American civil war.

The Chronicle takes the occasion of the announcement regarding British expeditionary forces to reduce to their true proportions the engagements so far fought. "It is a great misfortune," it says, "that a large section of the British public is getting the impression that the Germans are already beaten. This impression is quite premsture. The military calculation at the outset of the war was thnt Germuny would probably win tlie first ground, but if our nation and the French could go on after that without panic, they would with pressing persistence pull her down. This is still probable. The calculation is that the first round has not yet been fought, It has not even begun. There has so far only been sparring." Great Blows to Be Struck. The Chronicle's editorial referring to the official publication of tho news of the landing of the British expeditionary force on French soil says: "The announcement shows that un* der Kitchener's direction the nation is now in a position to assert what influence Its small but highly trained army can have on the military fortunes of the war.

Because your grocer gets It right from the factory in small quantities—and because Kellogg's are quick sellers and do not remain long on the shelf.

The government will then proceed with the introduction of tho four emergency bills which are required so as to give authority to deal not only with, the present situation but with any which may arise. The. gravity of tho occasion was relieved "by but one incident. When Sir Robert Borden rose to move the introduction of the time-worn first measure ln regard to the administration _t oaths, a bill which never gets past the first reading, but which is a reiteration of tho rights of the people over the King, he announced that lt was seconded by Mr. Foster. At once there were cries of "Sir George, Sir George." Mr. Foster smiled and blushed, while the premier luughlngly accepted the correction. A minute later Speaker Sproule made the same error und again the house with much gusto corrected Mm. Gorgeous Dress Is Absent. The scene In the senate chamber was not marked by the usual brilliancy. It wus truly a "khaki" session. The Duke of Connaught, instead of his brilliant field marshal's uniform, was clad in a serviceable brown khaki, as were his aides and the local officers who were present, The women, Instead of ;beiug allowed to take the senate floor, had to be content with seats ln the gallery. There were no evening gowns and none of the gorgeous costumes which are always a features of the ceremonies In the senate, In the morning it looked us though there would be a small attendance of members but they poured into the city on noon trains and when the houses assembled there were but few vacant seats. Leaders |n Conference. Both Lady Borden and Lady Laurier were seated in the speaker's gallery of the commons, where they were noticed to greet one another with exceptional henrtiness. After the house rose Premier Borden and Sir Wilfrid Laurier held a whispered conference on the floor of the house, ostensibly discussing the session, while ministers and members surged around them, earnestly discussing the stir* ring events of the past few weeks and the likely developments. The fact that notice has already been given of the war appropriation and other emergency measures increases the belief that the session may wind up by Saturday night or at least some time next week. Details Expeditionary Force. The order-in-council providing for the Canadian expeditionary force of one nrmy division defines the number of officers und men in the various units. The total embarking strength of the force is to be 22,218, ulthough upward of 25,000 men will mobilize at Valcartler. Commanders and staffs total 90; cavalry 157; artillery 3,888; engineers 442; signal service 160; infantry 12,025; nrmy service corps 567; army medical service 698; army veterinary service 11; ordnance corps 18; army nay corps 2; postal corps 1-5. In addition to these, there will be 1,750 officers and men ut the overseas base and 2,295 in the administrative units available for reserve or reinforcement purposes. Million for Submarines. Copies of orders-in-council passed since the outbreak of the war and tabled [n the commons this afternoon show thut the government paid $1,050,000 for the two submarines purchased from Chile; that an order was placed with the Robs Rifle company Tor .10,000 rifles and bayonets at $33.25 for each rifle complete, aggregating approximately $1,000,000; and that a third war expenditure wus an order to tho Canada Tool & Specialty company of New Glasgow, for the con version of 10,000 long Ross rifles and sights to correspond with the present Mark III rifle at $3.50 each. This work Is to be completed by April 1, 191-5. Tho total expenditures on these three items is about $2,100,000. The expenditure for the submarines, which had to be made at once, was covered hy governor-general's warrunt. The dimensions of the submarines are given as follows: Displacement 313 tons; length 134 feet und 152 feet respectively; beam ir. feet; speed 13 knots submerged. The order-in-council ratifying the purchase was passed on Aug, 7, or two days after wur had actually been de* dared hy Great Britain: As a matter ot fnct, the purchase hud been actually made Just on the eve of the declaration of war by Sir Richard McBride, acting for the British Columbia government. Thus any complications from the purchase of war vessels in foreign countries while Great Britain was actually at war was avoided. Correspondence Tabled. The correspondence between tho Canadian and the Imperial govern- ments since the outbreuk of war, as tabled In the commons today by Sir Robert Borden, deals for the most part with the question of Canada's expeditionary forcft The first question raised with re gard to the despatching of such force was in a cable to the colonial secretary on Aug. 1 in which it was said that the Canadian government would welcome any suggestions and advice which the imperial naval and military authorities might offer. It was pointed out that under section 69 of the,Canadian military act tho active militia could only be placed on active Bervlce abroad for the defence of Canada and as a means ot obviating the letter of the act it was suggested that the Canadian regl- monts might enlist aa imperial troops with the Canadian government making all necessary financial provision for their equipment, pay and maintenance. On tbe same date thb offer of the Canadian government, on he- half of the Canadian people, to put forth every effort and make every sacrifice necessary to InBure the integrity and maintain the honor of the Empire was cabled. Force Wanted Soon Aa Possible. It evoked the reply already published declaring that the Imperial gov ernment gratefully welcomed the assurance. -On Aug. 4 the following cable was received from the colonial secretary; "Although there seems to bo no immediate necessity for a request on our part for an expeditionary force, I think, in view of their generous offer, your ministers would bo wise to take air legislative und other steps by ■vVhich they would be enabled without delay to provide such n force In cubp it should be required later." Two days later, on Aug. 6, there c-imo the definite request for a Can adian expeditionary force. It. was couched in the following terms: "With reference to my telegram of Aug. 4, his majesty's government ■gratefully accepts the offer of your ministers to send un expeditionary force to this country, nnd would he glad If they could be-despatched aB Boon ns possible." It wilt be noted that the cable asked for the despatch of the force "as soon as possible," and that it Is requested that the force'be sent to Great Britain. The size of the force was stated In the cable of Aug. 7, in which one army division was asked for. So far as the correspondence shows, no further cable has been received Blnce Aug. 7 In regard to the despatching of the force, On Aug. 8 the Canadian government asked the colonial office for advice ae to whether the army reservists, in Cannda should be sent home at once and the following day a further cable wus sent asking if the war. office would allow the army reservists tc enlist in the Canadian expeditionary force. In reply to this a cable received on Aug.. 12 stated that the imperial army council would be glad to have nil army reserves sent home at the first opportunity. If transports could not be arranged for, it was requested that they return with the expeditionary forces. Submarines Offered to Admiralty. In the correspondence there Ib a cable under date of Aug. 8 from tbe governor-general to tho colonial secretary, stating that the Canadian government wished to place the two submarines nt Esquimau at the disposal of the admiralty for general service. On Aug. fl this offer of the submarines was gratefully accepted by the admiralty. The only other item ot general interest in the correspondence is a request for information hy the imperial government as to whether the Dominion Coul company should be given permission to export coal to Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Tho reply received on Aug. 4 stated thnt there was no objection to the exportation of coul to the countries named. VISIT HARROP. (Prteelnl to Tlm Dal'*.- Sewn, lLVRROP, B.

'Having conferred whth the prime minister and hie colleagues, lt was learned that the attention of the gov-. ernment had been drawp to the a%- sirauillty-of some sueh step ibeing taken, tout . more particularly to . the' necesaity of having, somewhere in: Canada a central organisation formed for the 'purpose of co-ordinating the work of tlie many voluntary assocla- 'tions that might be formed for this or similar purposes and of-preventing the growth of a multiplicity of agen< cles in the collection of funds and overlapping ln their distribution. To effect.this end and at the same time to give a representative character to any organization that might -be formed, his royal highness invited the lieutenant-governors and' premiers of several provinces ,of Canada and Right Hon.

It whs decided to ask -parliament at the present session tu enact the necessary legislation to incorporate the organization and to confer upon its executive necessary powers. It Is not intended for thc Canadian Patriotic'Fund to in any way supercede the vote of volutary agencies already formed or of other agencies that may como into existence* it is Intended rather to provide machinery which will co-ordinate efforts of the several bodies, and present new agencies where none at present. exist.'

Fire conditions are reported to be improving in the Boundary district, many of the larger fires which have ueen experienced having nearly subsided and the smaller fires having been extinguished. Conditions in parts of the district were materially benefited by the heavy rain which was.experienced early in tbe week. The biggest fire which was reported In the Boundary, district which was on Lost Horse creek has subsided and is apparently out, though, a force of men are ready In case of a sudden outbreak. Fortunately, it is stated, thn fire fighters were able to keep the blaze out of big timber. The fire at Devil's siding, 25 miles north of Carml is practically out and those on Mulligan' and Slate creeks ofa extinguished. Fires at Laurlen and Midway aro also said to be out, A new fire waB reported yesterday about four miles west of Greenwood which was two miles long and one mile .wide and a force of men was despatched to. the scene. Valuable timber, it Is stated, wns destroyed only ln one of the many fires which have been experienced in the Boundary this season. In the Kootenny and Arrow lakes regions nearly all the forest fires of any consequence are either ont or under control.

CUBA HA8 BEEN AIDING GERMAN CRUISER KARLSRUHE * (By Daily N*w« Lonpud Wire.* HAVANA, Aug, 1«.—Denla Cowan, 'British'charge'd'affaires,'warned Cuba today against allowing German warships to provision at Cuban ports as It is understood the cruiser Karlsruhe has been doing through German merchantmen. Ships put into Havana and afterward discharged their cargo of provisions to the Karlsruhe at sea. Cowan's note said the British legation had studied Cuba's declaration of neutrality carefully but noted that Germany reserved the right to provision her* warships at neutral ports, something which Great Britain would not tolerate. The note was prompted by the Incident of tbe Hamburg-American liner President, which put in here from Europe, coaled and provisioned, apparently for St. Thomas, hut returned three days later with a story that a British steamer had chased her, arriving with most of her supplies gone. The German steamer Bavaria, heavily supplied with coal and provisions, is believed to he waiting for tbe same purpose. She has her sailing papers, taken out several days ago, but apparently is waiting wireless advice. Kidney Trouble?

Russell, manager of the Minstrel Maids, is regarded by many as ono of the moat enterprising and successful theatrical managers of today. She attributes her success to hard work and her ability as a press agent. As a press agent, Miss Mus- sell aften wins out where many men would fall because she has had experience in the newspaper field and knows how to prepare copy that will "get by." Her father, Capt. William P. do la Plalne, was managing editor ot the New. Orleans Picayune, one of the biggest papers In the south, 32 years ago. In 1883 he published a triweekly paper ot his own and in 1889, after his health failed, he wrote editorials for the Kansas City Star until his denth a few years later. . WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19 PARLIAMENT GET8 DOWN TO BU8INES3 WITHOUT DELAY. It was entirely fitting thnt the opening of parliament at Ottawa yesterday Bhould be marked by evidences of a determination to get down to the serious business which faces the session and to conclude It with tbe least possible delay. It la difficult to imagine a greater crisis than that which Canada as part of the British Empire has been called upon to meet and to which It has responded with such readiness and cool determination to do the duty which lies before It and the desirability of making the session as short as pos*| slble appears to he generally recognized. The conclusion of the business which the government will place beforo the house, of commons and senate will enable the cabinet again to give its undivided attention to the heavy work of an executive nature which must be continued when the necessary measures have been passed.

Admiral Mahan of the American navy, who ls regarded as among the foremost living naval authorities and who has been a close student of international relations, emphatically blames Germany for the great war into which the nations have been precipitated. He Bays: It Is Incredible that Austria would have ventured on the ultimatum unless assured beforehand ot the consent of Germany to It. Tbe Inference Ib irresistible that tbe substance of the ultimatum was the pretext for a war already determined on as soon as plausible occasion offered. Germany's procedure is to overwhelm at once by concentrated preparation and Impetuous momentum. If lt fails in 'I this it is less able to sustain prolonged aggression, as was Indicated In the France-Prussian war I during and after the Blege ot - Paris, Since Admiral Mahan mnde the statement the German plan of overwhelming France by a tremendous Initial blow appears to have failed, largely through the magnificent efforts which have been made hy the Belgian army to block the advance ot the kaiser's armies across that country. * WHAT THE PRESS 18 SAYING *■**> Q M4toM*QOQ4WM%4M4*4y4>tt4>4>4>4t Tho Lady Cop's Temptation Dq you suppose that the pollccwo men employed by Chicago and other cities ever etop on their beats to look Domestic Science Also Close—Outside Pupils May Attend Nelson High School With the resignation of Mark Lock* wood, manual training instructor at the public school, to hand, and the cqnsent of the teacher who had been procured -for the domestic science classes, to vacate the position which had been offered to her by the board, und ln view of the present unsettled financial condition 0f the world, which, It was stated, mad,, it hard to, predict what the future would bring forth, the recommendation of the school management committee at the meeting of the school board last night that the manual training and domestic science classes at the central school be suspended for the coming term wa-g adopted by the board. Mr, Lock wood, who had charge of the manual training classes at the school, has accepted a position with the South Vancouver school board and in view of the satisfactory work which he has accomplished while in the employ of the'board u letter of recommendation will be forwurded to him. Pupils resident of the district outside the city desiring to attend classes at the Nelson high school will be permitted to do bo without any charge or obligation, tt was pointed out last night, when from a communication received by the board It was felt that many had misconstrued the decision of ■he bourd to prevent any outsiders 'rem attending classeg at the Central | 1 ichool as meaning that outsiders would | also be barred from attending the high school. That pupils other than the children ■if assessed property owners In Nelson school district will not be permitted to attend classes at tbe Central school was forcibly pointed out when an application from a resident Just outside the school district for permission to aend his pupils to the Centrul school was refused. The board last night decided to sanction'a sports duy for the pupils of the High and Central schools and the department of education will be asked to g've permission f°r a holiday In the schools on the occasion. A grant of $50 was made to defray the expenses of the day and invitation was extended tO the pupils of the Fairview und St. Joseph schools to Join In the sports. The chairman of the board, John Hamilton, Fred U irw'n, secretary of the board, and the principals of the two ncboo,ls were appointed a committee to look after the arrangements, , In connection with the convention of the British Columbia school trustees which Is to be. held here next month, Trustee. Hamilton and E. S. Martin, principal of the Central Bchopl, were added to the committee in charge of arrangements. It was decided that a man be employed In the busement o'f the Central school building before the opening of school on Monday to, remove all the sharp corners protruding from the stones in the basement ot the building which, it Is stated, were a menace to the youngsters at play. H. Amus, chairman of the property committee, reported that during the holidays the floors of the schools had been oiled and varnished and that the prism lights had been placed In position at the Central school. He recommended that a set of steps be placed on the Mills street side of the schooj, directly opposite the boys' entrance, from which a temporary cinder path might be constructed, and thnt repairs be made to the roof of the old school building which ls connected with the new structure, and to the turrets at the front of the newer building.

"The brigade was mobilized at Llege and* there received as reinforcement their own reserves. Two other regiments came later. Our mobilization has just finished. Our enemies thought that 100,000 Germans wero at Liege, and, owing to difficulties with the commissariat, were unable to render service. This, however, was a mistake. There was a reason for pause. To Lose No More Lives at Llege "Now the forward march can begin and our opponents will have an opportunity to convince themselves that the German forces are well supplied with food and arms. The emperor has given the word not to sacrifice another] drop of blood to capture the Llege forts. The enemy did not know our methods of attack and believed them selves secure in the forts but already tbe fire of our weakest big guns have forced the forts to surrender, quickly demolished them, burying the garrisons in the ruins.

LONDON, Aug. 18.—Ever slnco the czar's promise of autonomy to Poland, reports llave been current that tho next step to be taken by the Russian government along the same lines of initiative will be a proclamation securing the Jews equal political rights. A Paris dospatch today goes to the length of stating that such a proclamation-ls shortly to be Issued. Prom Inquiries made' In authoritative quarters the correspondent is able to state that while there Is no dfficlal authority for such a prediction thero Is good reason to belie'-e that some measure along the lines Indicated will bc likely. Both In France and England Russia's reactionary policy Is tho only element which has aroused any misgivings regarding what It Is hoped will be the result of the war. The enthusiasm aroused in France by the decree affecting Poland gives the measure of the relief caused by tbe removal of the misgivings so far as ono section of the non-orthodox sabjoctB of the cxer are concerned, peeper relief would be felt among a large and representative body of tho British public .were definite action token hy the Russian government to remove Uio disability under which the Jews In Russia labor. It is authoritatively stated lhat steps have been taken to bring this point of view to the attention of tho Russian government. Officially, tho British government can take no action which could be regarded as an Interference jvlth the domestic affairs of a friendly country and personal representations which have been made to Sir Edward Grey overBtep the mark. Sir Edward's prln- clples are sufficiently recognised and what he ls able to do he is doing to remove all causes for the misgivings with which n good number of his fellow cltlaens-regard tlie Russian alliance In Its moral aspect* and Its possible ultimate developments. Great hopes are felt that tho delicate representations will meet with success. Predictions are made'that the final outcome of the combined grants of autonomy to Poland and the removal of at least some of the religious disqualifications* no» weighing upon the Jews In Russia will be the growth of a new state, In which the Jews and Poles will Hnd an equal place Ih the situation and flourish accordingly. .*,.:: WILL NOT ADMif PUPILS UNDER SIX YEARS OF AGE Birth Certificates Must Be Presented by All New Pupil* on Monday, States Principal.

London in the past few days has seen the arrival of a swarm ol correspondents, eager and anxious to got to the front. From the beginning of hostilities it was made known that only tho nationals would be allowed to accompany any of the armies, so the American correspondents' chances of seeing the fighting were Bllm at any time.
