VI. JUSSERAND CONFIDENT
Has Not Received Conarma tion OF
the Fall of Nnmur.

WAsHINGToS, Aug. 25.-French AM
bassador Jusserand said to-day that the
news from the front although not bring
ing with It any cause for jubilation, on the
other hand was by no means alarming He
said:
The results OF the recent action IN
Belgium are disappointing. but not dis
cournsins. The forward movement OF the
allies, which has been halted ny the Ger
mans. was an offensive movement. Its
success would have meant that much. Its
non-success is only negatively important.
II was the plan OF the allies TO make the
first line OF French defences the line OF
first contact with the invading army. but
with the chance Of an offensive movement
In Belgium serving to halt the German
advance the attack in force was made
The losses on both sides have been
heavy, but the retreat upon the first line
OF defence does not benefit the enemy.
Their problem is just the same as II would
have been II the allies had not made any
offensive movement
"I have not received confirmation OF the
fall OF Namur ! see by the press des-
patches that the city has fallen into the
hands OF the enemy. but from the War
Office have no confirmation Of this state
ment.
The disposition to sxaggerate successes
and reverses must be discounted In any
attempts to analyze the news from the
seat of war"
Official dispatches from Paris to the
French Embassy here to-day brought the
information that the French army still
holds Altkiroh and Muelhausen and that
France and England are not in the least
dlsheartened by the reverses.
The defeat OF the allies was duo to the
superior numbers OF the enemy. the
dispatches said, the Germans beius
ma ssed In bulk, The position the allies
now occupy was said to he impregnable
The second division OF the French army
suffered severely, the cable message
states, hut the bulk OF the division WAS
reported in good condition. German losses
have been high. the dispatches said, espe-
clally among the advance guard.

Several manufacturers already have
started experiments In producing such

BRITISH UNIVERSITIES
NOW WAR HOSPITALS
Students Leave Oxford and Cam
bridge to Make Room for
Wounded.

England has gone into the matter OF
hospital arrangements for the soldiers
and sailors who may be wounded during
the war with tho utmost thorougnness.
Instead OF concentrating the wounded in
the larger cities. as she has done IN
the past 1t Is purposed to distribute
them throughout the country, and schools
and other suitable buildings have been
transformed into hospitals.
Two or the largest hospitals will be
at oxford and Cambridge. The two great
English universities hayo been taken over
FOR hospital purposes All of the students
who were In residence have been dis
missed and the educational work OF both
institutions seems likely to remain at
standstill for some time. The great ex-
animation hall at oxford has been trans
formed into a gigantic operating room,
and the other college buildings will bo
used 10 house the wounded. The smaller
universities and many OF tho big public
schools have undergone similar trans
formations
All over the country the completion OF
the hospital arrangements is being
pushed. In many of the smaller towns
and villages where hospitals have been
established beds have been obtained by
calling for one bed from each house In
the town. In this manner enough beds
have been obtained TO All the public
buildings taken over for hospital pur-
poses.
In order to transport the soldiers to
the seacoast and to bring back the
wounded the automobile buses OF Lon
don and other cities have been com.
mandeered Lines paralleliug the rail-
roads have been established and are in
operation. In this way the capacity Of
the routes Of the seacoast has been
almost doubled and II will he possible to
transport the wounded TO the hospitals
70 which they are assigned with much
greater speed than II the railroads alone
were depe nded upou
