It is stated, however, that on account of the severence of cable connection with Germany it might be several days be- fore the message reaches that country.

From Saturdays Daily.
 Liege, a Belgian fort on the Ger man frontier, continues to be the scene of the greatest activity in the European war. The Belgians are stubmornly resisting the German ef- fort to cross Belgium into France. The German attacking forces num- bering SO,OOO have been repulsed and last night requested 24-hour armis- tice to bury their dead, which was granted. It is admitted that German losses in killed and wounded have reached 25,000. It is stated that re- Inducements headed by the German crown prince are advancing to Liege, while French forces are said to be on their way to aid the Belgians. An official report from Berlin admits that the attack on Liege has been un- successful, but denies that the invad- CTS were defeated.
 A report direct from Liege at mid night last night states that the Tenth German army corps, reinforced by cavalry, in advancing had been mined. The mines were exploded by the Bel gians and one entire German battal- ion was killed, while 1,200 wounded were picked up. Several German howitzers have been placed in posi- tion near Huey and large German forces are lying in wait on the other side of the frontier. An attack on the Corness was repulsed by the Bel |gians.
 The German government is doing it's utmost tc bring about change in Italy's attitude in the European situ- ation, but direct appeals to King Vie tor Emanuel have been in vain. 1t IS asserted Italy, having declared her neutrality, intends to maintain 1t. Italys position as a member of the Triple Alliance and therefore Ger manys ally under certain conditions, has been discussed in every phase and the consensus of opinion is that the Italian people never would permit an act of hostility against France and Great Britain. Because Italy IS neu- tral. all manifestations for or against the belligerents are being repressed. Yet everywhere spontaneous out bursts of enthusiasm for France have occurred. In Rome there have been frequent cries of "Long live France! Long live our Latin brothers!" and the Marseillaise is being sung in the streets.

BANKERS CONSIDER
 COTTON SITUATION
CONFER Al WASHINGTON
LITTLE ROCK SENDS TWO MEN TO ATTEND IMPORTANT
 MEETING.

Little Rock, Aug. 11.-George w. Rogers, president of the Arkansas Bankers Association and cashier of the Bank of Commerce of Little Rock, accompanied by George Russ Brown, secretary of the Little Rock Board of Trade, will leave Friday for Washing ton, D. C., to participate in the gath ering of southern bankers to consider the cotton question.
 "The difference between 6 and 16 cent cotton," says Mir. Rogers, lis greater in Arkansas than the capital stock and surplus of all the banks in the state. That shows what an item this is to Arkansas, and we must save to the state the difference be- tween the actual worth of the cotton and the price that will be obtained for it if the government does not come to our assistance. The bankers from all over the south will meet in Washing ton Monday. We do not go to work out something for the banker, but for the south. We have not even sug- gestion to make at this time, and we have no plans about the manner in which the convention should proceed. We are assisting the farmer, and will work hand in hand with the Farmers Union to solve this question, but solve it we must or the south will lose mil lions of dollars this year. We have assurances from all Arkansas con- gressmen that they are with us in this matter"

sending troops against Germany, has
violated the spirit Of the Monroe doc
trine. Germany has no intention of
attacking Canada. nor attempting to
colonise that dominion. according to a
statement issued here by tho German
embassy.
The statement follows:
The German point of view is that
by Joining in a European war, Can
ada has put herself outside the plea
OF the Monroe doctrine. but Germany
has not the intention Of attacking
Canada, nor colonizing Canada"
The statement Is an ampliflcation Of
the View expressed yesterday by Count
Won Bernstorif, German ambassador,
that by taking part in the war, the
Canadians justified an aggressive cam
paign against themselves.
To explain further the reason that
caused the German government, in it's
formal note delivered to the state
department September 8. by Count
Won Bernstorff, voluntarily pledging
Germany not to attempt colonial ex-
pansion in South America. no matter
what the outcome of the war, the
embassy issued this statement:
The note was written at that time
because Winston Churchill had said
in his message to the American peo-
