SIR JOHN FRENCH REPORTS Big LOSSES
War Summary

Namur, the Belgian fortress.
has fallen into German hands. ac-
cording to an announcement made
by the official press bureau in
London. Details of the fighting
around the fortress were not
given. but the English newspa-
pers regard the fall as inexplica-
bic.
Berlin dispatches say five OF
the forts of Namur and the city
itself have fallen and the capture
OF the remaining four forts Is inn
minent.
A reverse to the forces of the
allies is generally admitted by the
English and French newspapers,
which say today's news is de
cidedly bad While plainly ex-
pressing disappointment at the
failure of their forces, they de-
clare the retrogade movement
toward the line OF strong defen-
sive works near the frontier has
been carried out in good order.
II is assumed that the allies
are falling back on their first line
of defensive works running from
Msubegue in southeasterly di-
rection by way OF Hirson, Me
zierds, Montmedy. Verdun, st.
Mihiel, Toul and Epinal, all OF
which have strong fortresses and
interspersed with smaller works,
such as Ayyelle, Genicourt. Tro-
yone, Les Paroches. Lainville,
Gironville and Jouy-Sous-Les-
Cotes. Behind these lies another
strong line OF Notifications from
st. Quentin, in the north, through
Laon and Reims to the great en-
trenched camp at Chalons.
The English newspapers de-
clare that both the English and
Russians arc determined to flight
to a finish" whatever the outlook
may be at present. They say the
| possession of Namur was vital for
| Germany and that II was a fine
stroke for the Germans to have
rushed the place under the eyes
OF the allied armies"
In other parts. Of Belgium
fighting Is still in progress, and a
report from Ostend says 10000
Germans have attacked Malines,
thirteen miles from Antwerp.
Charleroi has also been the
scene OF hot fighting, this time
between the French and German
troops. and a fresh encounter is
believed to have begun there.
Twenty-Five thousand Germans
have been surrounded between
Courtrai and Anseghem, accord
ing to an ostend dispatch to the
London Daily Express.
Russian reports relate the ad-
vance of the Russian armies in
eastern Prussia and the surpris-
ingIy rapid movement OF the
troops. Russian officials. how
ever, caution against feeling too
| great elation over the preliminary
successes, pointing out that the
German territory about the Wis
tula is strongly fortified along
the line of the Russian forward
march.
Newspaper dispatches assert
that the Austrian fortified port
Of Cattaro, Dalmatia, has been de-
stroyed by the allied fleets.

C7:l5 a. m.)-The American minister, Ira

Among the american tourists who are
staying here are Mrs. A. II. Sage and
her daughIer of New York, and Mr. and
Mrs. E. j. Barney OF Dayton, o.
A thrilling trip was made in Finland by
twelve Americans, one of whom said:
Our party left Stockholm on July 81 on
a steamer for ST. Petersburg, but we were
stopped by Russian warship and COM
PEELED to return to Hango, where we were
lodged in hotel. The steamer was taken
in charge by Russian warship and blown
up in the harbor channel At the same
time several cranes and other harbor
works were dynamited to block the chan
mel to the Finnish harbor. The explo-
sions made a great spectacle for the
Americans.
"Our party was unable to leave until
August because the roundhouse and
other buildings near the railway station
were In flames.
Starting for Stockholm by train we
Travelled in cars already overcrowded
with refugees, Arriving at Syvinge we
found at least 5000 persons waiting for
the next train north. The town was al
ready filled and people were sleeping on

a hamlet near Tammerfers, which boasts
of only one hotel but was trying to en-
tertain 5000 strangers. Every private
house was filled to its capacity and we
would have been compelled to spend the
night in the streets had 1t not occurred
to the manager OF the hotel TO suggest
that we proceed to Nicolaistadt, a seaport
fifty miles to the west
I'VE took his advice and found com
Portable lodging in that place. We also
had the good fortune 10 discover an Ameri-
can freight steamer on which we were
permitted to sail on August s. The voy-
age was dangerous. as all the beacon
lights had been removed from the passage
which is narrow and made hazardous by
shoals.
The other steamers left port at tho
same time. The first was commanded by
a Russian pilot II ran aground and was
wrecked. Other vessels narrowly ESCAPED
the same fate. Our steamer. however got
clear. and We arrived without accident at
| Hernossnd. Sweden.
Our trip through Finland had interest
ing and even exciting moments, but we
were not III treated by the Russians Ours
was the only party which reached Sweden
in this manner. as traffic from Nicol-
tistadt was stopped on the day after we
sailed and all tourists were forced to
continue their journey across Tornea.
After having rested at Hernosand for
several days we came on 10 Stockholm.

LONDON, Aug. 25-(4:20 a. M
A dispach to the Daily Mail from
st. Petersburg says:
The German defense in East
Prussia is based on four parallel and
strongly fortified lines running
north and south. Each is supported
by natural obstacles. The foremost
three lines are distinct groups of nu-
merous lakes. The fourth and
strongest defense line is the Vistula
river, extending from the Russian
frontier to the Baltic.
Outside these defense lines the
Germans have on the northeast the
very strong fortress at Konigsberg,
with the fortified advance positions
at Libau and Tipau. This is stu
ated on the flank of the Russian line
and must be invested, necessitating
the detachment of a considerable
force.
THE foremost three defence lines are
extensively fortified. There are important
and permanent 1Ortlllcatons at Sllen-
stein and Bowen and the whole is filled
with lakes, leaving only comparatively
narrow defiles for the advancing troops.
