War Summary

Complete silence is maintained
as to the fortunes OF war in the
big fight understood to be in
progress somewhere along a line
extending through Belgium and
Luxembourg. Dispatches give evil
dence of the presence OF masses
of German troops pushing their
way TO the front behind an impen-
etrable screen OF cavalry. whose
dashes In search OF information
as TO the whereabouts OF the al
lied troops have resulted in sharp
clashes and heavy casualties.
The commanders OF the allied
forces of French, British and Bel
gians will not permit anything
about their positions to become
public, and since the official note
made known the presence of a
large British expeditlonary force
on the continent its movements
have been hidden from the outside
world.
At Brussels It is said there has
been no change since Tuesday in
the position then reported TO be
excellent for the allies.
The fate OF the Liege forts is
not definitely known. German
dispatches describe them as in the
hands of the German army since
the arrival of heavy artillery,
while Belgian military authorities
assert they are still intact and
holding out bravely.
In Alsace-Lorraine the French
turning movement through south
ern Alsace appears from French
reports to be progressing favora-
bly, for the French. and this seems
to receive confirmation in a dis
patch sent out by the Wolff bu-
reau, the German. Official news
agency, saying two batteries of
guns we're taken by the French,
who continued their march for
ward.
All these reports, however, re-
fer to the preliminary meetings Of
opposing bodies OF troops leading
up to the great battle, which may
already have begun. Gwen lead
ing Frenchmen take occasion to
point out to their countrymen that
the decisive conflict is yet to come
and that too much reliance must
not be placed on reports OF demor-
alization amcng the German
troops.
A strong force OF German
troops Is said TO have attacked
Eydtkuhnen, German town on
the Russian frontier. which was
occupied by the Russians soon
after the outbreak of hostilities.
A French official note confirms
reports of a Servian victory at
shabats over an Austrian force Of
$4,000 men. The Austrians are
said to have lost 5000 killed and
5000 wounded.
A Montenegrin army is reported
within two hours march of the
fortified Austrian seaports Of
Ragusa, in Dalmatia. The Mon
tenegrins had already captured a
number of towns in the vicinity.
