TODAY 5 MOVES
|. in THE WAR ZONE,
What THEY MEAN
BY J. w. r. MASON.
Former European Manager of The
United Press.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-q1 a MI
The deepest mystery of the war wells
the operations along the Belgian bor-
der The English report their contin-
gent has had TO withdraw slightly
before greatly superior numbers, but
conditions are satisfactory; the
French report that Belgian events
have not interfered with arrange
ments for future developments along
the Lorraine border; while the Ger
mans declare they have surrounded
the allies in the north and have iso-
lated positions about Namur.
It is probable that Germany has
been able to throw such overwhelm-
ing forces against the Franco Belgian
frontier as to compel the allies to
fight a series of retreating actions
The German advance around Lille
appears to have been carried out, af-
ter all, but subordinate to the main
movement 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
Fere-L -Laon-Rheims line of fortifica-
tions. The report of so stupendous
an enterprise as cutting of the allies
| from this long line of retreat must
be accepted with reserve. It is pos
J sible, however, that the Germans oc-
tcupy three sides of the surrounding
square. They are backing the allies
away from Belgium from the North
their move around Lille. conducted in
sufficient force, concerning which We
have no particulars, would box the
allies in on the west; while the ad-
vance from Luxembourg through the
gap from captured Longwy TO Stenay
forms an eastern wall against the al
lied armies.
As nearly as we can judge, therefore
the French and English driven out OF
Belgium may be in square formed on
three sides by German armies and on
the fourth by the line of strong fortif
cations, La Fere- Loan Rheims. about
seventy-five miles from Paris.
If this supposition is true, and it is
based primarily on German reports, il
seems that Paris is certain to be invest
ed before long. Such may be the mean
ing of the French official report that
"the events in the region of the nortl
have neither imperilled nor modified the
arrangements made in view of the flu
ture developments in the region be
tween the Nosges and Nancy"
The possibility hidden in this curious
statement is that the Germans are sooi
to arrive before Paris, and when they
do the French field artillery will reform
; and try again the offensive movement
in Lorraine between Metz and Strass
; burg that recently ended SO abruptly.
) The crucial phase of the war. there
, fore, may soon take this triple aspect
. Paris withstanding long siege; tn
, Anglo French forces taking the often
, sive through Lorraine; the Russian
, moving slowly on Berlin; if Paris hold
= out by the time the Russians reach Ber
lin aud if Russia then moves southwest
ward to meet the Anglo French opera
tions through Lorraine, the war will no
last much longer.

LONDON. Aug. 2S.-In the House
Of Commons this afternoon Sir Ed
ward Grey again placed responsibility
for the war on Germany. Attempts
on the part of some of the opponents
of the war to show that the war for
eign Office had failed to do everything
possible to avoid the war caused a
sensational demonstration, the oppo-
sition being howled down by the ma
iority.
Sir Edward Grey stated that before
the war the German ambassador had
suggested that Germany might remain
neutral in the war between Austria
and Russia if England would see that
France remained neutral. Afterward
il was pointed out by sir Edward, il
developed that what Germany want
ed was to have England force France
70 remain neutral should Germany
fight Russia This. he said, was alto
scther different and something that
England could not agree to.

NAVAL LOSSES TO DATE.

Destruction at sea during the
first month Of the general war has
been greater than the naval losses
during the entire Spanish-Ameri-
can war when the value of the
merchant vessels captured Is taken
into consideration. The cost of
these vessels with their cargoes, in
many instances very valuable,
must be added to the warships
that had been destroyed.
The following are the naval
losses thus far reported:
August 3-German and Russian
fleets off Aland Islands. Russians
reported TO have lost one ship.
August S-German mine layer
Koenigen Luise sunk by British
torpedoboat in North Sea.
August 6-British cruiser Am
phion sunk by mine in North Sea
August German submarine
sunk by British cruisers in North
Sea.
August i4-German cruisers
Goeben and Breslau sold to Tur-
key to avoid capture.
August 16-Austrian cruiser
Zenta sunk off Antivari, Montene-
gro.
August 17-Unnamed German
dreadnought reported out of ac-
tion and ashore at Trondlyem,
Norway.
August 17-Austrian battleship
Zrinyi reported sunk by French
warships.
August 26-German cruiser Mag
deburg blown up by her comman-
! der in the Gulf of Finland to
avoid capture.
August 27-German converted
cruiser Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
sunk OF West African coast by
British cruiser Highhyer.
August 2s-Austrian destroyer

Frequent and vivid flashes of light
ming at sea opposite Cape Henlopen

panied by thunderclaps. which to ex-
cited imaginati0ns resembled the

report accepted seriously by q Will

gagement was in progress.
Excited residents at several shore
towns have reported a German cruiser
