ENGLISH PUBLIC ALARMED
German Success Brings Realization of
Serious Nature of the
Great Conflict.

London, Aug. 21-Dispatches
from the front make it perfectly
clear that the first great battle of
the war has commenced. There have
been encounters reported from Bel
fast in the south to Diest in the
north, and in the next few days the
first stage of the war will have been
settled definitely.
The public is alarmed because
news which seems to point to Ger
man successes in the north still ar
rives We learn today that the main
Belgian army is falling back upon
Antwerp. We learn further that
masses of Germans are pouring
across the Meuse between Namur and
Liege.
Brussels is not a fortified town
and it can stand no siege. It's reten-
sion apparently plays no part in the
broad strategic plan of the allies and
only a certain moral Importance will
attach to its fall. To the south the
stretch of country is ideal for the
deployment of large forces. 1t pre-
sents but few natural obstacles and
there are no fortified towns or posi-
tions. Once Liege is passed, it is
in fact the route which long since
had been decided upon by the Ger
man general staff as being the only
practical one for the invasion of the
northern frontier of France.

WILSON LAYS DOWN
POLICY IN FAR EAST
Tells Japan That United
States VIII Maintain Strict
Neutrality in Event of
War With Germany.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 22.-Japan
has received from the United States a
formal declaration of policy bearing
on the delivery by Japan to Germany
OF the ultimatum demanding the sur
render by the latter country of the
territory of Kiao Chou
The American governments atti-
tude was outlined in reply to assur-
ances which Foreign Minister Kato
had given to Ambassador Guthrie, ac-
cOrding to advices from Toxic, to the
effect that the integrity of China
would be preserved.
While regretting that any differ
ences had arisen between Japan and
Germany, the United States pointed
out that it must refrain from express
ing any opinion on the merits of the
ultimatum, especially since the ulti-
matum might lead to war and it was
the avowed policy of this government
to maintain absolute neutrality.
The United States took occasion,
however, in friendly and diplomatic
way, to place on record its under
standing of the situation
Baron Chinda, the Japanese ambas-
sador to the United States, in ac-
quainting President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan with his country's stand,
has given the japanese reasons there
for to the American administration at
length.
Japan not only will not request the
United States to take over h.al+Ifl.
for transfer to China, as proposed by
the latter at the instance OF Germany,
but will not consent to any arrange
ment of this character
Furthermore, the ambassador has
informed the administration that the
participation in any scheme to permit
Germany to eyade the exact terms Of
the ultimatum will be regarded by ia
pan as an unfriendly act

Paris Ready for Siege.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Paris continues to
make preparations for all eventual
ties. 1t is the base for the third line
of defense, and the third army of res
ervists is-being modified round the
city. Great supplies of provisions and
materials are being centralized in
Paris. The racecourses of Long
champs and Auteil provide accommo-
dations for thousands of cattle. Parts
of the Boise de Boulogne and the park
of st. Cloud have been inclosed for
this purpose, the latter space contain
ing 10000 oxen Preparations are be
ing made to convert city parks for the
same purpose, and in a few days they
will be sheep pens.

to which my duty points. | trust in

storm have always rallied in unity and

New York, Aug. 22.-La France of
the French line, from Havre with
1874 American refugees from the war
zone of Europe, reached her pier at

immense crowd of friends and rela-

gulse. Nor did she try to creep in
under the cover of darkness. She

Her passengers saw more than one
hundred thousand British troops land

sail on August 4, but she did not get
away until the French authorities
learned from the British admiralty
that the seas were safe, and that was
on August IA.
There were men and women on the

There is grave doubt whether the
German plans consider any serious

No Invasion of France.
London, Aug. 21.-The Germans
have at last occupied Brussels, but
in AIsace they seem to be making no
advance. The latest report IS that
the French have reca ptured Muel-
hansen and it still seems true that,
after eighteen days Of fighting, here
are no German troops on French soil.
On Germany's eastern frontier
there has been considerable outpost
fighting which would indicate that
the Russians are completing their
work of concentration. There Lave
been no serious collisions in this re-
gion as yet, however. Austria is too
much engaged with Russia and with
the need of helping Germany 70 make
much progress in her campaign
against Servia.
The death of Pope Plus will be
made the occasion for another effort
to bring about peace. 1t is stated
that when the conclave meets in
Rome to elect a new pope it will
send an appeal to the warning nations
for peace and will ask the United
States to aid in bringing about tral-
guilty.

CASTLES TO BE BLOWN UP

Namur, Belgium.-On arriving in
Namur, found huge crowd of Ger
man prisoners, says Maurice Gerbe-
cult in the Chicago News. They were
well equipped, but seemed demora-
lized, and would talk but little. They
complained of having had INSULT

fed. The German Quartermaster de-
partment, apparently, has been over

rectifying it's aim. The German cav
airy, however, is first class, and ubi-
quitous, burning farms and haystacks,
ransacking post Offices, and overrun-
ming the spaces between the forts.
In Namur all the big trees have
been cut down or blown to pieces by
dynamite, to prevent their use in di-
recting the enemy's artillery fire. The
most beautiful castles and villas in
the valley of the Mouse have been I'M
dermined, ready to be blown up when
the enemy appeared.

ing on velvet and silk curtains in the
villas The owners do not care, but
feed their guests well, and treat them
as if they were their own children.
Innumerable trenches protected by
barbed wire have been excavated by
the Belgian soldiers, assisted by work
men from the idle factories, the en-
gineers and foremen especially rem
dering splendid service. The Belgian
officers are actuated by'a high fight
ing spirit, which is fully shared by
their men.
The soldiers declare that waiting in
the trenches for the next battle makes
them nervous. The officers have trou-
Bile in restraining them from taking
the offensive, although they respect
the resolute qualities of the invaders.
The captured German horses are
emaciated and weak.
It is estimated that the number OF
French troops in the Belgian province
of Luxembourg is 10000. They are re-
ceived with many demonstrations of
Joy. In marching they sing and adorn
their guns with flowers.
