Outnumbered by the Germans the French had already
been driven out t.of Lorraine.
From the German and Austrian Hungarian eastern

Anna Hoffman, daughter of Marshal
John zoller, wno was present at her
father Is bedside, was willing to testify
that her father said when shown a
photograph that that was not the man
who fired the shot which was to result
fatally.
The other affidavit was by Miss Ger
trude Savage, the nurse who attended
Mr.. Zoller until he was taken to Port
land to be operated upon. Miss Savage
said that Mr.. Zoller said that the man
who had hold of him at the time of the
shooting was not the man who shot
him. Also that the man who was
wounded in the scuffle was not the
man who fired the fatal shot.
As this evidence could have been in
troduced at a previous trial, Of which
there have been three, the judge re-
fused to allow the case to be reopend
to allow the admission of the new evil
dence which, he thought, could have
little bearing upon the result. The facts
were threshed over at three trials and
the Judge held that it would only be
unnecessary expense to grant another
trial.

(Former London Correspondent Of the

New York, Aug. 22.-The appearance
today of German skirmishers at Auden-
arde, Belgium, 25 miles north Of the
French city of Lille, was an astonish-
ing adventure, coming so soon after
Brussels capture.

This Is the route the Germans would
have followed If they had been unin-

line of march runs almost due west
from Brussels to Audenarde, near the
Franco. Belgian frontier Here the main
road turns to the southwest and pro.

the march across French soil.

Austrian Loss Fearful.

Athens, Aug. 22.-Fearful Austrian
losses in the fighting Francis Joseph s
forces had with the Servians along the
Drina this week were reported here
today in Nish dispatches. In their
flight, it was said, large numbers of
the Austrian soldiers who had escaped
death in battle were driven into the
river and drowned. Thousands of them
were made prisoners and great numbers
of horses and cannon and huge amount;
of ammunition and supplies fell into
the Servians' hands. The Serviani
were also admitted to have suffered
heavily in killed and wounded.
On both sides it was said 3OO,0Ol
men were engaged, about equally divid
ed between the two sides.
The Servians were reported swarm
ing into Bosnia.

To Check British.

London, Aug. 29.-Though it admit
ted the report was possibly true, the
official war news bureau here announc-
ed tonight that it had not received off;
cial notification of the occupation of
Client, Bruges and 0stend by Ger
many. The Hague, Paris and Rotter-
dam newspapers carried the story in
considerable detail.
1t was inferred that the Germans
wanted to gain control of the Belgian
and northern France coasts.
The advantage to them of such q
capture would be that it would place
them in position to resist the landing
of more British troops to aid the
French.

. AND GUESS ABOUT
ENGLAND'S COURSE
In Making the Political Pot
Pie Cooks Overlook One
Salient Fact
THEY HAVE NOT YET
CAUGHT THE RABBIT
Think England Would Turn
Against Allies and Give
Aid to Germany

London, Aug. 22-In case the French
and British should overwhelmingly de-
feat the Germans in Belgium before
Russia gets fairly in action, would not
Great Britain 5 policy turn suddenly
more or less pro-Germanf
A number of we'll informed diplomats
here expressed the opinion today that
it would.
France and Russia, it was agreed,
would want to dismember the empire,
Of course giving Great Britain, if it
should ask for it, its share. Nobody
doubted that Belgium, after what 1t
has gone through, would endorse this
program heartily. Denmark and Hol-
land which have long feared eneroach-
ments by their powerful noighbor it
was taken for granted, would favor the
same thing.
Russia, of course, would want big
share Of Austria. Servia and Monte
negro would be entitled, in case of
division, to portions for themselves.
Presumably Roumpnia, which, without
getting into the war thus far, is credit
cd. with having done good service by
threatening to invade Bulgaria il il
took sides with Germany and Austria
Hungary, would get another slice.
Just to Check Germany.
Italy unquestionably would want the
Austrian Adriatic provinces and might
reasonably expect to get them, though
like Roumania il has yet done no fight
ing, in consideration of the enormous
favor it has done to France by failing
to strike at the latter from the south
ward.
Good judges of international politics
inclined to think, however, that all this
chopping up of the German and Aus
tria. Hungarian empires would be much
to Great Britain's distaste.
The latter's sole objection to Ger
many, it was pointed out, has been that
} Germany was too strong. The entire
aim of all its leading statesmen for
generations, according to these authori-
: ties, has been to prevent any conti-
mental nation from becoming and re-
naming unduly powerful.
It's Course With Russia.
Before the Russo.Japanese war it was
just as hostile to Russia as it became
later to Germany. It's defeat by the
Japanese shattered the Russian strength
for the time and, having no further
: reason to consider the car dangerous,
the British ceased to hate him.
They began TO regard Germany with
r suspicion, however, and as Germany
