To understand the fighting which marks the beginning of the great Franco-German conflict it is neces- sary to grasp clearly just one simple geographical fact. From the Rhine, which is the base of German opera tions, three routes lead west and south into France. The first starts at Cologne, crosses the Belgian frontier just beyond Aix-la-Chapelle. reaches the Mouse at Liege and ascends the Mouse to enter France between Maubeuge and Givet by a natural gap in the divide between the headwaters of the Disc and the Sam bre. This is the route followed by the main railroad between Paris and Berlin. It was employed by the allies in the second campaign in the French revolution. The invaders were de-. feated by the French army cele- brated in song and story as the Army of the "Sambre ct Meuse'' at the de- cisive battle of F1eurus. The second natural avenue to France starts at Coblenz and ascends the valley of

been received on the question of an armistice at Liege, an engagement having begun elsewhere.
 Another report states that an arr1is- tice of two hours only was granted the Germans in order that they might collect their wounded.
 An official communication issued at Paris states that the troops in the Fortress of Liege being sufficient for the defense of the town, an active division mobilized at Liege has joined the army in the field. @
 English military critics in London papers comment on the failure of the tactics of the German infantry ex- hibited in their frontal attacks on the Liege forts, in which they were re- pulsed. It is contended that the Ger mans learned nothing from recent wars and still adhere to methods adopted in the Franco-German war.

German Vessels Seized
 By Italian Officials

London, Aug. 8.-A despatch from Milan to the Chronicle says that the Italian authorities at Genoa have seized two German transatlantic ves- sells, the Moltke and the Koenig AL bert. It is explained that the action was taken when the captains demand ed a supply of coal, though they al- ready had coal aboard.
 The Koenig Albert belongs to the North German Lloyd Line and sailed from New York July 4, and arrived on July 17 at Genoa. The Moltke is a Hamburg American liner. She left New York on July Is, arriving In Genoa on the 18th.
 telegram from Rome to the Cen tral News says semaphores on the south coast of Italy report the Ger man cruisers Goeben and Breslau making for the Adriatic. A request to the Austrian fleet for aid was re- fused on the ground that there had been no declaration of war between Austria Hungary and Great Britain.

the Moselle until it arrives at Luxem- burg. It then crosses into France by Longwy an the gap of Stenay. This route was followed by the Duke of Brunswick in the first invasion of France at the time of the revolution and by Bleucher in 1914. The first attempt penetrated through Longwy, passed Verdun, which surrendered, and was checked at the famous "Cannonade of Valmy.'' The thiru approach follows the Rhine valley from Mayence to Strassburg and then turns west through the famous Sew erne gap to cross the frontier of France near Luneville and Nancy ana directly in the center of the open space left by the French between Epinal and Foul. This was the route used by all invaders prior to the time when France seized Alsace in the seventeenth century, and it was to close this gap that Louis XIV. and Richelieu struggled to acquire the Rhine frontier This map shows these three routes of attack. ..
