NEW YORK. Aug. 29-"News of

just as long as the origin of the

as wrong as the stories of German

So declares Ambassador Won Bern

country" he said They are de-
oeiviEg the American people. There
is no German news.
Naturally I. as much as anybody
else. regret the fact that civilians,
women and children have been killed
on various occasions But a civilian

quantities OF Austrian troops are mass

The influential newspapers all suggest
today the necessity for immediate ac-
tiOn by the government to determine
the Austrian attitude. Rumors OF inn
pending ultimatums are widely circulat-
ed, but are automatically denied al the
Foreign Offices. The only official state
ment obtainable Is that Italy is main-
tanning an attitude of strict neutrality"
One thing now absolutely certain Is
that Italy viii never aid Germany and
Austria To do so, the King and cab

revolution, the feeling against Austria
having become greatly intensified every
where throughout Italy during the last
few days.

english SAY German
war Plan HAS FAILED
BY The United Press.

By The United Press
LONDON, Aug 2S.-That the Ger
mans operating in Western Belgium
had planned TO occupy the French
Belgian coast cities and thus hamper
the work of the British in keeping
short lines of communication open
across the. Channel, but that they
have failed TO accomplish their object
is the position taken by the War Of
fee. The reason for failure has been
the inability to detach enough in
fantry to occupy the French Depart
ment of Pas-de-Calais. The German
cavalry have raided through a great
section of the country and have moved
south from Ostend all along the coast
But they have been I'm detached par
ties and reports received here today
indicate that no German infantry has
been reported anywhere near the coast.
The occupation of Ostend by British
marines was chiefly responsible for
the failure of the German movement.
The German cavalry had penetrated
the outskirts of the city and were re-
ported in force only seven miles away
and when the British entered the
town and mounted their rapid fire
guns to command every approach to
the city. They are now cooperating
with Belgian force and Il is reported
here that the Belgians are planning
an active movement TO drive the Ger
mans out of Brussels.

greatly fallen off In the office of the
Clerk of the Peace. During the past
three weeks only eight licenses have
been issued. which is less than the
customary weekly number. The Off

LONDON, Aug. 29.--England was
aghast today over the details of the
destruction Of Louvain. The complete
wiping out Of the entire city has
greatly exercised all high government

the inhabitants had fired on the Ger

proven that when Louvain was sur

contend that these unarmed residents
fired on German troops is absolutely
beyond credence

that Germany was not In any way
