Uhlans Are RepuIsed.

Uhlans Are Repulsed.
A corps of Uhlans crossed the Dor
der into France, in what appeared to
be an advance upon Nancy, and was
met and repulsed in a sharp engage
ment at Petit Croix, a customs post on
the Lorraine frontier.
While on the face of the reports the
day appears to have been disastrous
to the Germans, analysis of these and
other movements, which as yet have
no apparent effect, draws back the
curtain to reveal the strategy behind
the momentous advance movements of
the three German armies, numbering
nearly million men, which are now
in progress, with the capture of the
entire eastern frontier of France as
its object In the three armies are
included twenty-five army corps.

Third Army in South.
The third army is pushing forward
in the vicinity of Mulhausen near the
Swiss border, with Belfort, the city
that withstood a German siege of
three months during the Franco-Prus-
sian war of 1870, as its goal. Its adj
vance formation is in lesser numbers
and is divided into small scouting par
ties. Upward of 100000 men are re.
ported to be included il this army.

In 1870, Germany and France we're on

GERMANS TAKE RUSSIAN TOWNS.
Berlin, Aug. 4.-The Berlin war de-
partment has sent out bulletins an
nouncing successful invasion of Rus
sian Poland. The towns of Kalish.
Bendzig and Czenstochow were occu-
pied by German troops, and in the alb
sence of reports of fighting it is not
believed that these places were guard
ed by Russian forces. They are all
open towns and easily accessible.

open towns and easily accessible.
London, Aug. 2.-Events in the
European crisis developed on Sat
urday with startling rapidity. The
German ultimatum to Russia de-
handing that Russia cease the mo-
biiization of her army, expired at
noon and at Sis o'clock in the after
noon, the German emperor signed a
mobilization order.
At 1880 o'clock the German am
bassador at st. Petersburg, Count
Won Pourtales, delivered a declara-
ton of war in the name OF his gov
eminent to the Russian government
and the entire staff of the embassy
Immediately left st. Petersburg.
Declaration Comes Early.
Although after the warlike
speeches delivered by the German
ambassador and the imperial chan
cellor at Berlin on Friday, no other
result could be expected, hopes that
the dread event might be averted had
been raised by the Intervention Of
King George in st. Petersburg and
the fact that the German reichstag
was not convened until Tuesday.
Hence the actual declaration of war
had not been expected for another
day or two.
Now the die is cast and Europe is
to be plunged into a general war
which has been the apprehension OF
European statesmen for generations.
1t is now only a question of how
soon state of actual war will exist
between Germany and France.
French Troops Called Out.
Late Saturday night, placards were
posted in Paris calling for general
mobilization of Frances armed
forces.

he had not been handed his pass
ports, was preparing to leave the
French capitol. 1t is not known at
exactly what hour Germany's ulti-

Lorimer's record was so u~savory
that few men In public life could even

and now that he is again heard from

from his former apologists.
The Washington Star. which US

Against many of the men who SUP

differed with them then, and differ
with them now on great national is
sues. principally the reduction Of the
tariff and the stricter regulation Of
trusts. They conceded then and con-
cede now. their sincerity Of convic-
tions. and past eminent services: to
