War Summary

The German ADVANCE INTO bel-
gium is going on apparently
without serious check. Having
taken Brussels, the troops OF En-
peror William are forcing their
way steadily and rapidly to the
north and west. They have oc-
cupled Ghent and are approach
ing Brughes and Ostend. They
would appear to be endeavoring
to overrun the whole OF northern
and western Belgium. At the
same time they would seem to be
drawing closer TO the French
frontier.
Southeast OF Brussels they are
investing the fortified city OF Ma
mur, on the Meuse.
II is reported from Antwerp
that the Germans will not con-
tinue to occupy Brussels, content
ting themselves. merely with
marching through the city. This.
however, may be altered by the
attitude of the treasurer of Brus-
sells, who is quoted as saying he
will never pay over S40,OOO,OOO
demanded by the Germans as a
war tax.
The concentration Of the Bel
GUM army before Antwerp is said
to have been accomplished in
good order and the morale OF the
Belgian troops is reported to be
unimpaired.
While German patrols are close
to Antwerp, no strong detach-
ments have been reported yet
near the city. Whether or not
the Germans will attempt to cap
ture Antwerp, or simply invest It,
is not yet clear.
A Paris newspaper declares to-
day that general mobilization In
Italy has been decided and will
be proclaimed in three or four
days.
st. Petersburg announces Off
cially that the Russian army Is
advancing along the entire
Austro-German frontier and at
the same time successfully main
tanning the offensive at every
point OF contact with the enemy.
"A reported cavalry engagement
of the northern Russian army
last Friday is described as Sc
we're blow to the GermaL in East
Prussia. 1t is said an entire Ger
man battery was captured in this
engagement. Russian aviators
are reported throwing bombs into
German entrenchments.
Further accounts OF the re-
reported Servian victory over the
Austrians say the fighting lasted
three days along the Drina river.
The Austrian casualties were
given as between 10000 and 25,-
900, while il is said 10000 pris-
oners we're taken. The SeTvian
artillery did effective work. Nish
declares officially that a part Of
the Servian army has invaded
Bosnia and that another great
battle is expected in the near fu-
ture.
The time limit OF the Japanese
ultimatum to Germany demand
ing the surrender OF the German
holdings at Kiao-Chow expires on
Sunday and japan is described as
fully ready 70. proceed against the
German position. A dispatch
from Toxic says that the German

BODY OF POPE IS
BORNE TO CHAPEL
Scene Impressive One and in Flare
of Candles Can Be Observed Eyes
of All Dimmed with Tears.
ABSoLUTIoN RITES PERFORMED
Thousands Gather in square and
Remain Until Daylight, When
They Are Driven Away
by storm.

ROME. Aug. 21.---Borne by red
uniformed members Of the Sediali,
who, when he was alive, carried him
in the sedan gestatorfa chair, the
body of Pope Plus x. dressed in pom
tificaI robes and miter and with the
other emblems of his sacred offices
lying beside it, was taken today to
the chapel of the Blessed sacrament
in st. Peters, where the solemn
rites Of absolution were performed.
Thousands of persons previously
had visited the throne room, where
the body lay. to look upon the face
Of the dead pontiff, and many Of
them wove themselves into the great
procession from the throne room to
the chapel.
The procession was headed by the
bearers of the massive silver ponti-
fical cross and twenty cardinals and
patriarchs, archbishops, priests and
papal and court chamberlain and
members of the Swiss noble and pal
atine guards In their multi-colored
uniforms. The scene was an impress
sive one. Under the flare of the
candles in the chapel could be seen
the tear-dimmed eyes of prelate,
priest, layman and papal guard,
Especially affected were the bearers
of the body Of the pope.
Burial Private.
The burial of Pope Plus will be
private. This was decided upon
today. .......
The body was embalmed prior to
its removal to the chapel for the
ceremony OF absolution. Instead OF
the antiquated method of removing
the viscera and preserving it in a
vase in the church of st. Vincent
near the Quirinal, fluid, which, il
is claimed, will preserve the body
perfectly was injected into the ar
teries.
The late pope's only brother
Angelo Sarto, arrived in Rome to-
day. From a handsome elderly per,
son grief had changed him to a
/ broken old man. Great affection
existed between the two brothers
and when Angelo entered the NOR.
tuary chamber today he fell to his
knees at the side of the body, Sob
bing aloud. There he knelt for an
hour, praying, the tears meanwhile
streaming down his face and sobs
conyulsing his frame. Kindly hands
eventually lifted the sorrowing man
and led him from the death cham ber
to the apartment of his sister.
Mourning throughout Rome con,
tinued today. All the theaters, NOV
ing picture shows and other places
of amusement remained closed
Thousands OF persons gathered in
st. Peters square last night and re
mained there. some of them in
prayer, until broad daylight. wher
a violent thunderstorm, accom-
panied by sharp flashes OF lightning
drove them away.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-According to
a dispatch from Folkeston to the
| Chronicle. passengers who have ar
rived there from Ostend report that
Friday afternoon German patrols
we're in the outskirts of that Belgian
seaport.
Several Englishmen and a number
of Americans arrived at Folkstone
tonight on the cross channel steamer
from ostend. The correspondent of
the Chronicle continues;
1T is hard to believe" one of
these travellers said: That the
Germans are really occupying a posi-
tion on the straits of Dover. across
from the English coast. When we
left Ostend Friday afternoon the
Germans we're already in the out
skirts. It was expected that they
would be occupying the city by the
time our steamer reached England.
Foreigners Ordered to Go.
"All foreigners were ordered to
leave ostend yesterday. The postof-
flee and the government offices are
closed and the inhabitants are in a
condition OF panic"
The Express publishes a dispatch
from Ostend stating that the Ger
mans already are in Client and they
will be in Bruges tomorrow. There
was no resistance at Client.
| At ostend the correspondent continues
every preparation is being made to render
the town open. The civic guards Will be
disbanded and 1000 volunteers are being
removed from the port.

/ A newspaper correspondent who arrived
here tonight from Ostend said It seemed

Belgian watering place yesterday that
the Germans would be there in an hour
or two and that all Englshmen must
leave. Children we're still playing in the
