ulars, would box the allies In on the
west while the advance from Luxem-
burg through the gap from captured
Longwy to Stenay forms an eastern
wall against the allied forces. As
nearly as we can judge, therefore, the
French and English line may be in a
formation on three sides of the Ger
man, with the fourth side by the line
of strong fortifications La Fer-Laon-
Rheims, about seyenty-five miles from
Paris.
If this supposition is true, and II is
believed primarily on German reports,
it seems that Paris is certain to be in
vested before long.
Such may be the meaning of the
French official report that the events
in the region of the north have Meth
or imperiled nor modified the plans
made in view of the future develop
ments in the region between Vosges
and Nancy.
The statement is thas the Germans
are soon to arrive before Paris, and
when they do the French field army
will reform and try again the often
sive movement in Lorraine between
Metz and Strassburg that recently
ended so abruptly.
The crucial phase of the war, there
fore, may soon take this triple as
pect; Paris withstanding a siege; the
Anglo-French forces taking the Of
fensive through Lorraine; the Rus
SLAMS moving slowly on Berlin.
IL Paris holds out by the time the
Russians reach Berlin, and II Russia
then moves southwestward to meet
the Anglo-French operations through
Lorraine the war will not last much
longer.

BANKERS
PROTEST MAY Be
MET FAVORABLY
This State May Yet Be Added
to New York Federal Re-
serve District.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug 28.-
Developments today indicated that
some members of the Federal Reserve
Board were inclined to look with
favor on the insistent request OF New
Jersey bankers that the State Of New
Jersey be included in the New York
reserve district. New Jersey is now
attached to the reserve district OF
which Philadelphia is the reserve city.
New Jersey bankers have protested
that as the bulk of their business is
with New York it is essential for the
orderly and natural transaction of
their affairs thar their State should
come within the jurisdiction of the
New York reserve bank.
There seems to be sentiment in the
Federal Reserve Board also for de-
taching Pittsburgh from the reserve
district of which Cleveland is the re-
serve city and attaching it to the
Philadelphia district. Pittsburgh has
made a protest against being affiliated
with Cleveland.
The arrangement of the present re-
serve bank districts was made by the
organization committee of the new
banking and currency system. This
committee consisted of the secretary
of the treasury, the secretary of agri-
culture, and the controller of the cur
rency Two of these, the secretary Of
the treasury and the controller, are
ex-officio members of the Federal Re-
serve Board and will have a vote on
the appeal from their assignment OF
New Jersey to the Philadelphia dis
trict and Pittsburgh to the Cleveland
district But that there is sentiment
in the board in favor of the proposed
changes was indicated today

Wounded Belgians Say
Germans Superiority at
Long Range Won Namur

FOLKSTONE (via London), Aug.
2S.-A number of Belgian wounded
from Namur have arrived here, but
it Is difficult to get any connected
account of the fight there. They
state the Germans bombarded con-
tinually from Friday till Sunday, and
they believe it was the superiority, In
long range, of the German guns which
gave them the victory.
On Saturday a German shell ex-
ploded in Marchovelette fort and put
the largest gun and one six-inch gun
out of action. Two hundred Belgian
soldiers, while trying to escape, were
practically annihilated by German
shrapnel and machine guns.
On Sunday ammunition began to
run short in some of the forts, and
more ammunition was sent for, but
the town fell at midday Sunday, be-
fore the ammunition arrived. The Bel
gian soldiers made a splendid retire.
ment, which was covered by the
French troops.

BY J. w. t. MASON
OF the United Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-The deepest
mystery of the war wells the opera
tons along the Belgian border. The
English report the contingent has had
to withdraw slightly, but conditions
are satisfactory.
The French report that Belgian
events have not interfered with ar
engagements for future developments
along the Lorraine border, while the
Germans declare they have surround
ed the allies in the north and have
isolated positions about Namur.
1t is probable that Germany has
been able to throw such overwhelm-
ing forces against the F'rance-Belgian
rontier as to compel the allies to fight
a series of retreating actions. The
German advance around Lille appears
to have been carried out, after all,
but subordinate to the main move
ment through the Namur district.
That Germany has surrounded the
allies is unbelievable, unless some dis
astrous errors have been committed.
The French and English are fighting
with their rear protected by the La
Fer-Laon- Rheims line of fortifica-
tons. The report Of so stupendous an
enterprise as cutting off the allies
from this long line of retreat must be
accented with reserve.
1t is possible, however, that the
Germans occupy three sides of the
surrounding square. They are back
ing the allies away from Belgium
from the north; their move around
Lille, IL conducted in sufficient force,
concerning which we have no partic-

By Limiting Trust
Legislation Congress
May Adjourn October

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-With
prospects Of limiting the trust legis-
lative program to the Federal trade
commission bill and the Clayton
measure to supplement the Sherman
law, it was predicted today that Con-
gress could complete its business by
October ]. Whether it then would
adjourn depended, however, on condi-
tions arising from the war in Europe.
President Wilson had let it be
known that there would be no insist
ence on enactment at this session of
the measure to authorize regulation
of the issuance Of railroad securities
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. That was regarded in Congress
as assurance that the bill would not
now be pressed.
A Democratic caucus soon would be
called, 1t was believed, to agree upon
revised working program. Trust
legislation conferees would complete
their work in two weeks, it was sug-
eested. while additional war emer-
gency measures, including a revenue
bill, could be disposed of in month.

KILLED NURSES
Shot at Three Women of Red

neva convention of 1906. says 1t ex-
emplifies the savage character of the

ATTACK RECEIVER
OF SERVICE CO.
Creditors Question Administra-
ton of Affairs of Bankrupt
Auto Concern.

The first meeting of the creditors
Of the bankrupt Service Motor Car
Company, of Newark and Plainfeld
was marked by several spirited tits
between opposing counsels and much
criticism of the administration of the
bankrupt's estate by Edwin F. Miller,
of Dunellen, the receiver.
Prior to the meeting, Attorney Will
liam Harris, representing several
creditors, submitted the receiver and
Frederick Harrington, treasurer of
the bankrupt company, to cross
examination.
Harrington is part owner of
Frederick Harrington, Inc, of Plain
field, corporation which is one of
the heaviest creditors of the bank
rupt service company. He told of
the expenditures of the bankrupt auto
company.
Attorney Harris questioned Miller
closely regarding his interests in the
Harrington company and the bank
rupt concern. Miller admitted that
he is secretary of the Harrington
company and that he is giving a
greater part of his time to the admin
istration of the estate of the bank
rupt concern.
He declared the Harrington firm
was continuing his salary while he
was devoting most of his time to the
bankrupt company's affairs. The
receiver was then criticised for not
seeking legal advice before proceed
ing with the administration of the
bankrupt firms estate. He arranged
to assign a valuable lease without
seeking legal advice.
Two contracts, held by the bank
rupt firm with the Hupp Motor Car
Company and the Abbott Detroit
Motor Car Company, both of Detroit,
were cancelled. He was criticised for
these lapses, as the contracts were
considered to be valuable.
Several of the attorneys upheld the
receivers actions while others backed
up Attorney Harriss criticism of the
administration, of the estate. The
matter was adjourned without trus-
tee being elected.

RETAKE MAL|NES
BeIgians Retreating to Ant.

and Heindonck.
By the Associated Press.

+, LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The Mails corr
respondent at Rotterdam sends a
telegram from Antwerp, dated Thurs
day night, which says:
After a magnificent defense of two
days by the Belgian army, Malines
was retaken by the Germans.
"On the first day 10000 Germs ans OPP
posed the Belgians, and on the second
day 10000 flung their might against
greatly inferior force. In the end
the Belgians retired to Antwerp, leav-
ing the enemy in possession of the
town. The Germans Immediately en-
trenched. after ordering the inhab-
itants to leave. Wachten and Helm
donck were destroyed by the retreat
ing Belgians to prevent their being
used as a cover by the enemy in theis
operations against Antwerp.
Refugees at Roozendaal say the
Germans possessed amazing knowl-
edge of the roads. The German at
tack on Malines was furious and in
spired by a desire to end the sorties
which the Belgians were making from
the town against their trenches and
around Brussels.
1.-THE Belgians had made successful
attacks on the German lines of conn.,
munication, and had seriously ham,
pered their operations, This necessi-
tated the return of the Fourth Ger
man Army Corps, which had already
started for the south.
Sixty thousand Belgian refugees
fed from the town.
THE Germans are furious at the
Belgian operations, and declare they
will raze Antwerp to the ground in
revenge.

Socialist. was one of the most promi-
nent figures in the battle, encouraging
the Belgians, who, he said, were fight
ing for the most righteous cause in
