ARMY'S MAIN WING
PREPARES To STRIKE
Invaders Push QetachmentS For.
ward TO Within Few Miles
Of Brussels.

London, Aug. 1S.-Advices from the
Times correspondent at Namur of a
battle between the French-Belgian
troops and Germans at Dinant indi-
Gates the left flank of the German
army of the Meuse has advanced its
front nearly fifteen miles westward
into Belgium. Dinant is about thir-
teen miles south of Namur and fifteen
miles west of Marche, one of the
towns along the German front Satur-
day.
Dinant is about ten miles from the
French frontier and reports indicate
the right wing of the German army of
the Moselle also is operating in this
vicinity.
Paris reports "unimportant outpost
affairs" near Wayre, indicating the
center wing of the German army of
the Meuse has moved its front
twelve miles westward from Jodoigne,
where the center front was reported
Saturday. Wavre is about ten miles
east of Waterloo and about twelve
miles southeast of Brussels.
The censorship put into effect by
the British authorities, who control
the cables, is effective to a remark
able degree. Censored dispatches
from Brussels declare calm prevailed
around Tirlemont Sunday night and
that the Germans were falling back
on Hercklaville to recuperate.
Would Break Through French Center.
A Brussels dispatch to the Standard
declares the main part of the Ger
man army is concentrated at Luxem-
burg, indicating an approaching at.
tempt to break through the center of
the French line and deal a crushing
blow at the most vital spot in France.
Unimportant outpost affairs in the di'
rection of Wavre are reported.
The French war office continues to
report advances by the French army
near the Alsatian frontier, in German
territory, declaring the French line
now passes through Abrechevillier
Lorquin. Azoudange and Marsal.
In the Donon or Rougemont region
the French claim to have occupied
Schirmeck and captured twelve Ger.
man field guns, eight machine guns
and other artillery equipment and am
munition. Further to the south the
French say they occupy Vile, on the
road to Schlestadt, and Saint-aux
Mines. Paris says the French line in
Alsace extends from Thanh through
Cernay to Dannemarie.
London has not received confirma
tion of the French naval successes
over the Austrian warships in the
Adriatic.

ASSERTS RUSSIA IS
READY TO STRIKE

London, Aug. f8.-An official COM
munication issued by the French war
office, received from the Paris cor
respondent of the Exchange Telegraph
company, says:
AT the moment that the German
main force comes in contact with our
troops" says the war office, "our al
lies will force both Austria and Ger
many to engage In an additional
struggle which, 1t seems likely, will
be of giant proportions.
1T is well known that the Germans
anticipated the decisive defeat of the
French, SO that they might immedi
ately follow up such success by a
battle against our allies. 1t is also
we'll known that they counted on the
slow mobilization of the Russian
forces and upon disturbances in Po
land to gain time for their arms. The
czar, however, by his promise to give
autonomy to Poland, has obtained the
fidelity OF the Poles and Russia's
mobilization has been accomplished
With rsmarkabls rap!dity.

HOUSING PRISONERS
is HUGE PROBLEM

London, Aug. 1S.-A troublesome
problem of the war is likely to be
the housing and guarding of prison
ers. Already more than 5000 Ger
mans have been captured before the
battles have really begun. The Bel
gians are sending a large proportion
Of these prisoners into France.
When the big fighting with at least
100000 men engaded begins the
number of prisoners probably will
run into vast and embarrassing totals
on both sides.
There will be exchanges of prison
ers, but these are not always easy to
arrange. Another difficulty is antici-
pated in the matter of commissaries
for unprecedently large armies. The
Germans are even now confronted
with this gigantic task.

TOORGANlZE ENGLISH WOMEN
Lady Cook Believes They Could Re-

London, Aug 18.-England is going
to have regiments of women. They
may have as their generals such wom-

Duchess of Marlborough and Mrs.
Pankhurst. They will resist any in
vasion of the German and Austrian
forces.
Lady Cook is the originator of the
plan. She has launched a stirring
campaign to put a woman's army in
readiness for battle. She hopes to
have 10000 women in the army,
thoroughly organized and well drilled,

Lady Cook, in outlining her plan,

GERMAN AIR ATTACKS
FAILURE AT NAMUR

London, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Namur, Belgium, says:
Several attempts have been made
by the Germans to destroy this town
by means of an attack with aero
plane bombs within the past few days.
On Friday an aviator dropped three
bombs. One of these fell on the side
walk of the bridge in the dOmalius,
injuring five men. The other bombs

Germans Offering More VigOr-

of cavalry, infantry and artillery.
The French also control all of the
upper Vosges, having taken other vii

determined assault.
Advancing All Along Front.

VOGEL FAILS TO
 APPEAR IN COURT
NEW YORK BROKER FAILS TO RE. sPoND TO SUMMONS IN THE
 FAILURE CASE.

New York, March 21-Frank E. No- gel partner of Henry Siegel in the bankrupt firm of Henry Siegel & Co.,. bankers, failed to appear today at the hearing Of the affairs of the defunct bank. Noge's counsel announced that he was ill but professcd ignorance of his whereabouts. United States Com. missioner Gilchrist served notice that Vogel would be held in contempt of court should he fail to appear Mon day or submit legal proof that he was unable to do so.
 Siegel refused to answer many ques. tions concerning his affairs Asked what he did with a $150,000 personal laon, he said a reply might incriminate him. He gave similar answer to the question whether he still had in his possession some of this money, but when pressel denied he had any of it now. He refused to say what he did with it.
 A committee of depositors of the defunct bank attended the hearing, but the angry crowd that disturbed the previous session was absent.
