DEVELOPMENTS IN
 EUROPEAN WAR.

That a great battle is impending between the Germans and the British. French and Belgian allies Is the news that comes out of Lon don. For days these opposing ma tionS have been bringing up their long lines in Northern Belgium and on the French frontier.
 That the advance guards are in contact is evidenced by the reports of serious engagements at various points, perhaps the most important at Haelen.
 Earl Kitchener, the British secre- tary of state for war. has warned the British press against the pub Hcaion of news other than official, relating to naval and military move ments, infringement of which order will mean suspension.
 Italy is reported 'have mobili- zied about 25o,000 troops on the Swiss and Austrian frontiers. as a precautionary measure All the passes over the Alps are strongly held. At the same time the Italian foreign office has summoned home for conference on the war sit uation its ambassadors at Paris. St. Petersburg, London and Berlin.
 tuc government or F1OiianQ mas officially given the French govern ment renewed assurances of neu- trality and its intention to make their neutrality respected Sixty thousand Dutch troops are on the line, along the frontier and large areas of land have been flooded.
 A number of wounded troops have arrived at Southampton from Bel gium and although their nationa1i- ty has not been made known it is supposed that they are British.
 The Austrian troops have entered Russian Poland, where German troops also have been engaged, and Russian forces have captured the Austrian town of Sokal, in Galicia, by assault.
 The American ambassador will take over the Austrian embassy in London the Austrian ambassador having departed.

PRESIDENT WILSON OPPOSED
 TO BANKS FLOATING LOANS
In United States for Any of the coun. tries Engaged in European War.

Washington, Aug. 13-Presfdent Wilson~was confronted today with the problem of whether American bankers snaIl be permitted to float loans in tne me United States for any of the coun- lrles engaged in the European war
 Though the president has not reach ca hnal decision, he is strongly op- posed to the idea. The question arose through the desire of J. P Morgan and Company to float a loan of several hundred million dollars for the French government. Inquiry was made of the state department by the Morgan firm as to whether the f1otation of such a loan would be regarded as a viola ton of neutrality. Secretary Bryan discussed the subject with the pres ldent, who is studying it carefully be- lore returning a final answer
 Besides J. P Morgan and Company It is understood that another New York banking house is desirots of floating loan for Austria, but the state department has not yet been ap- preached. so far as could be learned tonight, with any formal inquiry as ot questions of neutrality involved.
 A loan was ffoated for Japan during the Russo-Japanese war, but notwith- standing the precedent. President Viii son believes that the influence of the American government ought to be ex- erted as far as possible toward re- ducing the length of the strife rather than adding clements for its prolon- gaton. He is likewise opposed to the sending of large quantities of gold from the United States at a time when domestic financial needs are para mount
 The possibility of stirring up ill., feeling among the numerous bodies of citizens in the United States of par ttcular sympathies in the European war is also regarded by the president as a potent reason for discouraging the floating of loans. By preserving strict neutrality to the letter, he be- heves, the position of the United States will be most secure in the pres ent emergency and less likely to leave ill effects after the war is over.
 On the side of the bankers, however. the argument advanced Is that the floating of loans is purely commer- cial transaction in which the govern ment is not obliged to interfere The bankers do not desire government aid or guarantee, but merely the assurance that their action would not be regard ed as violation Of neutrality.

DECISION IN COMPENSATION
 CASE IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY.
Though Victim Was an Alien, His Parents Were Residents of This Country-Deeision FaVors Pepend- ents.

Bridgeport. Conn, Aug. 1s.-Deci- sion in compensation case which has attracted attention throughout the state, was this morning rendered by Compensation Commissioner Edward T. Buckingham. The case was that of Charles Biero, Jr., aged IT. who died in New York hospital after sustain ing injuries in the Hotel Taft, New Haven He was an alien. Two de- pendents claimed compensation for his death. a father, Charles Biero, of New York and . mother, Adele living in Paris. France. Both are aliens and were represented in the hearings which continued between July and July 30.
 The evidence showed on March 30th. the deceased met with injury by falling down a flight of stairs while carrying an eighty pound sack of potatoes. He died of septicaemia and endocarditIs in New York as a result of the injury. In finding for the dependents, Commie- missioner Buckingham states:
 T find where both parents were residents of this country $5 week d. vided equally between them would be proper"
 Compensation at the rate of SAYS per week for SIP weeks is ordered to be paid to be divided between the father and mother.
 Shots Fell Near Fruit Steamer.
 Boston. Aug. 1s-The enEagement between the British cruiser Bristol and the German warship Karlsruhe, des- was reported on Tuesday by Captain Terbesen, of the Norwegian fruit steamer I.oveland. The fruiter on a passage from Banes. Cuba, passed so close to the waring cruisers that shots fell near the ship.

London. Aug. 1S, 1145 p. m.-Tne hour of the great battle which will have much to do with settling the future of Europe, is appreciably near CT; Reports of engagements. which when the main armies meet, will be considered insignificant, have been coming in all day, showing that the cavalry screens, sometimes accompan- jed by infantry, whose duty it is to find out what is going on behind, have come into contact in northern Belgium. near Haelen, and on the French frontier near Othain.
 Some Severe Fighting.
 The meeting of these accommodating parties in force has resulted in some pretty severe fighting, in which. ac- cording to the sFrench and Belgian of hcial accounts, the allies scored fur ther successes.
 Germans Resume Attack on Forts.
 The other side of the story is still to be told. for Berlin remains silent. fact the German war office has had little to say since it reported the cap ture of the city of Liege. The posi- ton around that fortress is some what yelled in mystery. The Germans have resumed their attacks on the forts, but how they are progressing outside world. Brussels had report tonight that the forts had succeeded in sileneing all the big German guns, but little credence is placed in this. It may be that for the moment the invaders have stopped their onslaught, either to rest or to adopt some new means of gaining their object.
 Alsace Scene of Engagements.
 Lorraine for the present seems to have been left out of the fighting, while Alsace, like western France, is the scene of engagements between the advance guards of the main German and French armies.
 The Austrian army has commenced to move on Russian Poland No news has come from the Russo German frontier, but much the same is going on there as in the other theaters of war. The Russian and German cav airy are busy trying to discover what the main arnlies are doing.
 British Navy Clears Trade Routes.
 The British navy has virtually clear ed the trade routes of the German and Austrian ships or has at least put them under such close watchc that the admiralty advises ship owners to send out their vessels as usual Ships from all parts of the world arrived at English ports today and. what is more important, steamers with provisions are coming from Scandinavian ports.

DIscLosES PURPOSE OF
 KRoNPRINz WILHELM.
Was Carrying Coal For German cruis-
 or in North Atlantic.

New York, Aug. 13.-The story Of the battle between the Bristol and Karlsruhe discloses for the first time the apparent purpose of the North German Lloyd steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm in making an unannounced dash from this port under cover of darkness ten days ago bearing 5000 tons of coal. It was assumer by many persons that she had gone forth to sup ply fuel to German cruisers on the Atlantic.
 President Wilson had not then is- sued his neutrality proclamation. The battleship Florida had not become a sentinel of the upper harbor. There was no obstacle, legal or physical to stop the Kronprinz Wilhelm slipping through the Narrows and past Sandy Hook with her superstructure painted gray and long boz forward winch was believed to have contained a big gun. Officials of the North German Lloyd line denied the ship was armed, declared the mysterious box contained an extra crankshaft and said the ves- sel was off on a voyage which they hoped would get her to bremen. It was admitted that she carried more coal than she needed for her own purposes and no explanation was made as to why she left her Hoboken piers in advance of her scheduled sailing time. She was sighted shortly afterward headed to the southward. -~Suhse- quentIy one or two of the German vessels now in port here were ap- parently in readiness to sail similarly, but the neutrality regulations were es- tablished.
 The Kronprinz Wilhelm's where abouts since leaving here had been va riously stated, but no definite word reached here unless 1t came to the Ger man steamship officials, who have de- nied insistently that they have heard from her. When the German tank steamer Leda was made a prize of war by. British cruiser Suffolk and lowed into Bermuda a few days ago, it was reported by wireless, before news of the Leda's identity reached port, that, the Kronprinz Wilhelm was the Suffolks captive.

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
 HELD SESSION YESTERDAY
Called on President Wilson and Ad-
 jeurned Until Monday.

Washington, Aug. 13-The federal reserve board, the powerful body which is to control the country's new bank ing system. set it's organization going today. It held its first formal session called on President Wilson and ad- journed until Monday. /
 Every member of the board, includ- ing Secretary McAdoo, who presided and John Skelton Williams. the comp trolleE of the currency, attended the first session. Protests from Baltimore and Omaha against selections by the committee were submitted and Secre- tary Elliott was directed to prepare a method of procedure in hearing of thees protests, to be submitted at a future meeting"
 President Shows Effects of Grief.
 The president. in greeting the board, Showed plainly the effects of his grief and the strain he had undergone dur ing his wife's last illness. His voice trembled as he referred to the sacri- fees some of the board met accept ing the office. He told the board that 1t was extremely fortunate that at last all reasons for delaying its organ ization were removed and that he felt sure the country now, could proceed to the organization of a system that 1 feel will relieve, steady and reassure the country in many ways"
 Legislation For Unusual Circumstances
 
 Recently in the extraordinary cir cumstnces now existing in the world at large" added the president. we have been obliged to resort to legis- lation intended for unusual circum- stances, resort which would not have been necessary if we had had the or gantzation which you are now about to eonsumate and put into operation. I look forward with the greatest conf dence to the result because I believe we have devised a system which, though novel in some particulars, is clearly adjusted to the circumstances of American industrial and conner cial life; that has an element of To- cal self government in 1t which is quite consistent. with the analogies of our political life and the habits of. our regional life.
 President Expresses Thanks.
 q am, personally, very happy to have played small part in bringing this plan to a consummation and I am particularly happy that you gentlemen have consented to serve the country in this disinterested way and to afford a guidance to which I am sure it will respond with the greatest alarcity."

HALIFAX CITIZENS ARE
 SHOWING THEIR PATRIOTISM
Are Voluntarily coaIlns the British
 Cruiser Suffolk.

Halifax. Aug. 13.-Halifax citizens of all classes are showing their patriotism today by voluntarily coaling the Brit ish cruiser Suffolk. which arrived in port early this afternoon. It is es- timated that the work will take ten hours. The crew of the Mauretanis, 200 men from the Sixty-third regi- ment and hundreds of citizens have volunteered for the job. The crew of the cruiser will consequently be able to enjoy a, much needed rest.
 The Suffolk steamed up the harbor, her white ensign at the fore, her band playing and her crew lining the rail. Her progress was marked by the cheers of 10000 persons who had as- sembled on the water front, and the blowing of whistles by all the steamers in port.
