THINK WAR WILL LAST
AT LEAST TWO YEARS
Students Here of Military Situation
Believe Germans Will Reach
Paris in Six Months.

A serious protractlon Of the period
Of the Intra-European war is anticipated
by close students OF the general mill
tary situation here. Their views are
predicated upon the non-success Of the
allied armies Of France, Belgium and
Great Britain In holding in check the
first concentrated attack Of the German
army.
The fall OF Namur. which all OF the
French and Belgian experts predicted
could Withstand a seige, after two or
three days Of fighting. followed by the
backward trend Of the allies movements.
disposes the students to believe that the
German armies have won for themselves
a confidence in their ability 10 push
forward through France TO Paris, over
whelming their enemies step by step.
Six months. in the opinion OF the stu
dents OF the great war game, will be the
time required to effect the investment
OF Paris and eighteen months to capture
that city.
Upon this basis 1t will be seen that the
time which the students give as the
probable duration OF the war Is not less
than two years.
The same students incline to the belief
that the German-Austrian alliance can
hold back the Russian development Of
Berlin or Vienna or both just as long
as the French and British can hold
Paris.
None OF the experts have yet figured
out the results OF the war. Neither do,
their offhand solution OF the war problem
include in its premises the possible aug
OF the forces OF the allies by
British colonial or native Indian forces
in the event that the battle tide sets
too strongly against the allies In the first
few months Of the war. Y

Ambassador JuSS Serand
Files Statement with
Bryan Alleging Atroci-
ties by Inpaders-SayS
Defeats We're ForeSeen.

Jules Jusserand, the French Ambassa-
dor. yesterday filed with Secretary of
State Bryan a protest against alleged
atrocities by the German soldiery. The
protest sets forth that the Germans have
fred into ambulances, have killed wound
ed and noncombatants and have been
guilty Of gross indignities toward women
and children, in addition to the destrIc-
ton of large amount OF personal prop
erty.
Secretary" Bryan assured Ambassador
Jusserand that the United States will
take all steps possible without involving
itself in the European conflict
SayS Germans Lost Heavily.
My official advices today show that
the French army, in Belgium failed IN Ns
attempt to advance its line OF defense
against the Germans" said Ambassador
Jusserand. THE French army was
driven back by the German forces and
forced to retire 10 its secondary line Of
defense, where il is now intrenched. Two
divisions OF the French army suffered
heavy losses, but the Germans also lost 4
large number OF men. and their failure
TO follow up their advantage shows :hat
their forces must have been greatly
weakened / have received no COnfTtna-
ton Of the report Of the fall OF Namur.'
Later il was announced at the French
embassy that teleErams received from
Paris showed that the action OF Monday,
which resulted in n German. advance in
Belgium, was really an offensive move
ment by the allies. the possible failure
of which was fOreseen and that a line q:
retreat had been arranged beforehand.
The Germans apparently massed the
bulk OF their entire army for the at
tack and this fact, with the comparative
weakness OF French fortifiCatiOns along
the Belgian frontier. explains the initial
German success. It was said. Paris re-
ports that two French divisions have
suffered severely. but that the remainder
of the army is in excellent condition.
Counted. on Neutrality.
Muelhausen and Altkirch remain In
French hands, IT was declared, and the
German losses, especially those of the
Guards, were enormous.
1t was explained that France had not
considered the possibility Of Germany's
violating Belgium's neutrality. as 1t had
been guaranteed by all the powers. Con-
Frence had constructed few
Notifications along the Belgian line.

MACKEY, JR., SHOT IN
MISTAKE FOR FATHER
Son of AIexandria County Prosecuting
Attorney Ambushed by Two Men
Near Roslyn. Va.
REVENGE ASSAILANTS PURPOSE

CrandalI Mackey. jr.. son Of the prose-
cutting attorney for Alexandria County,
supposedly mistaken for his father, was
shot from ambush and painfully wound
ed in the right thigh, 100 yards from his
home near Roslyn. Va, last night
The senior Mackey agreed with the
hypothesis that his son was shot by mis-
take. He thinks he was to be killed In
revenge for his prosecution OF the hun
dreds of cases he has had charge Of dur
ing his ten years as prosecuting attorney.
Mackey, Jr., is twenty-one years old,
and is postmaster OF Roslyn. He was
returning from Washington. where he
went on an errand for his grandmother.
When within a stones throw Of the
house two unidentified men sprang up
from the side OF the road and one fired
at him with a shotgun. The load took
effect in the front part OF the right
thigh.
A second shot was fred, but missed, as
the youth had presence OF mind to fall
to the ground. He heard one voice say:
Il think i got him."
Mackey staggered to his home and told
his family he had been shot His father,

REPLIES TO Won BERNSToRFF.
Sir Cecil sprInE-RIce Disputes Re-
port of Embassy Attack in Berlin.


port of Embassy Attack in Berlin.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Am
bassador. does not agree with the state
ments attributed to Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador, in regard
to the incident in Berlin when the Brit
ish Embassy was attacked. Count Won
Bernstorff was quoted as having said
that a crowd gathered in the street be-
fore the British Embassy, but that the
police held them In check until one of the
windows OF the embassy was opened and
a lot of cigar boxes and copper coins
were thrown down to the crowds.
Then for a moment" said the German
Ambassado the unruly element got
control and broke some OF the embassy
windows. The police gained the upper
hand and nothing more happened. This
is in strong contrast TO what happened
in st. Petersburg, where the German
Embassy building was actually de-
stroyed."
The British Ambassador here issued
this statement:
The Ambassador says that he does not
wish to enter into a conflict of fact with
the German Ambassador, but II the Ger
man Ambassador is correctly reported,
the British Ambassador can only say
that his report differs materially from
