SUMMONS
RESERVISTS FOR
HOME DEFENSE
TBY LEASED WiRE.1

ROME, Aug. 27.-1taly is calling up
four more classes Of reservists to the
colors, which is taken as a strong in
dication that the government will
shortly intervene in the European
war. Every day the chances of Italy
supporting Germany and Austria be-
come simmer, and it is accepted as
an accomplished fact in some quar-
ters that the Triple Alliance, which
includes Germany, Austria and Italy,
is thing Of the past
1t is known that Germany and Aus
tria are bringing the strongest pres
sure to bear upon the Italian govern
ment to secure it's armed support, and
alluring promises have been made, but
so far there is no sign that Italy has
weakened although the Italian gov
ernment has already proclaimed her
intention of remaining neutral, she
already has enough troops under arms
to guard ner borders.
Fear Austria.
1t may be that the government fears
that II the Austrian arms prove victo-
rious against the Russians, that the
Austrian government will provoke q
quarrel with Italy. But the conclusion
which stands out now Is that Italy is
preparing to renounce her former al
lies, Germany and Austria, and throw
her strength with England, France
and Russia.

PARIS, Aug. 27-Preparations for

BERLIN, Via Copenhagen and Lon
don, Aug. 27.-Complete victory of
the German troops attacking the al
lies in Belgium was announced in an
official statement issued today. 1t said
that the losses on both sides were ire
mendous.
Through this announcement the pub
lie learned for the first time that Brit
ish troops had joined the French on
the main battle line. Heretofore there
had been no mention of "allies.'
Empress Augusta Victoria has gone
to Marburg in Hassen-Nassau to in

Praise Frederick's vaior.
A dispatch from Frankfort says
wounded soldiers arriving there praise
the valor of Prince Frederick Of Hesse,
and relate that in recent battle he
carried the regimental battle flag after
the standard bearer had been wound
ed. The prince is a brVher-in-law of
the kaiser.
Details of the battle at Namur are
published by the Tageblatt. 1t says
that the forts there were bombarded
with howitzers and mortars, and that
the German gunners showed marvel
GUS precision in their ability and dem
onstrated their superiority over the
forts defenders.
The Tageblatt's correspondent says
that desolation has been spread from
Liege to Namur. In the village of
Havre only nineteen out of flve hnu-
dred houses were left standing. The
inhabitants have fled in droves before
the German advance.
He asserts that the French promis-
ed to help the Belgians at both Liege
and Namur, but delayed their arrival
and their cooperation was prevented
by the rapid movements Of the Ger
mans.
