acted as an effectual barrier and the
bombardment of the ships was from
of the mouth of the stream.
The British ships had better often
sive weapons than the fort. Their
cannon carried farther and sent a YER
liable rain of bombs and shot into the
fort all that day and the following
night.
Major Armistead at first replied
sturdily, but he found that his can
non had not sufficient range to reach
the enemys ships. Wisely, then. he
held his fire and awaited events. AS
a hostile vessel essayed to creep
closer to the fort the defenders fire
drove it off. One ship was quickly dis
abled and was towed out of range by
smaller boats. The fort, although in
dieting little damage, was sturdily
holding its own.

on the countryside. During one OF
these forays an aged physician, DR..
William Beanes of Upper Marlbor-
ough, Maryland, had arrested some
British soldiers for wanton destruc-
ton of his property. He was captured
and held a prisoner upon the prison
ship Minden.
Doctor Beanes was close friend OF
the Key family, and to effect his re-
lease Francis Scott Key, under a flag
of truce, made his way to the British
admiral. He was courteously received
and accomplished his purpose, but
neither he nor Doctor Beanes was al

just at this time the bombardment of
Fort McHenry had been resolved upon
and it was feared that they might re-

 IMPERIL
 BERLIN

LONDON, Sept. 1. - A dis patch received this afternoon from The Hague says that not withstanding the claims that the Germans have made that their arms have won victories in East Prussia, there is grave feeling in Berlin over the continued ad- vance of the Russian armies through Germany and Austria. Advices from the front show the Cars troops to be nearer and ever nearer.
 The news that Emperor Will fam has left the Western army headquarters and moved to the Russian front has shown the residents of Berlin that their city is in immediate peril, and that the menace to their safety continues to exist.
 A story is in circulation in Berlin that the Russians have sworn to wreck vengeance on the Germans for the destruction of Loyain, and that they intend to rage the capital of the Ger man Empire just as Louyain was razed by the Germans.

 IS ON AT
 SEDAN

PARIS, Sept. 1.-The big bat tie involving the whole front O. the allied armies from Sedan, the scene of the surrender of Ma poleon III and Gen. McMahOn in 1870, far to the southward, was resumed this morning. This takes the center of activities from 50 to 75 miles farther away from Paris than it was yesterday, and has lead the War Office to believe that the defeat inflicted on the Germans by Gen. Pau at PerOnne, near Am iens in the Department of SOm- me, in which the Germans lost one of the two army corps en- gagged, has checked the attempt ed flank movement around the French left, which seemed to threaten Paris yesterday. The enemy's apparent purpose this morning is to break through the main army of the Allies which was driven soUthward along the Mouse valley out of Belgium dur ing the last two weeks fighting.
 The engagement began at day-i break this morning when four German armies, under Grand Duke Albrecht, Gen. von Bue- low, Gen. von Hausen, and Gen. yon Klug, began pounding the Allies on their left, shelling the Allies entrenchments from Se- dan southward.

POLAND PRACTICALLY
 FREE OF GERMANS

LONDON, Sept. 1.-st. Petersburg dispatches indicate that Russian Po- land is practically If not entirely free of Germans and Austrians, and tho Russians have practically full control of Prussian Poland.
 The complete failure of the Germans and Austrians to induce the Poles of Russia to rise in revolt against the Car was keen disappointment to the invaders; as has been the failure of the Prussian Poles to offer resis- tence to the invading Russians. It Is said that in many instances the home guards in Prussian Poland welcomed the invading Russians, and sought out their commanders and asked to be permitted to surrender. Lack of food was one of the causes for this anxiety to become Russian prisoners of war.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-Arno Dosch, of Portland, Oregon, arrived here yes terday from Brussels. He says:
 "The German auto trucks used to prepare the way for advancing caval- ", artillery and infantry are one of the marvels of the equipment of the German army. They are equipped with scythes. and now through he'd ges and wire fences if the roads do not suit the drivers.
 These trucks are heavily armed, and they are able to resist anything except artillery fire. They enable the German forces to make 40 miles a day when forced to cover great distances.

LONDON TIMES TELLS
 OF ALLIES DEFEAT

LONDON, Sept. 1. - Telegraphing the Times of the defeat of the Allies in the Mouse valley and their retreat toward Paris before the victorious Germans that papers correspondent says it was really a continuation of the fighting that began before the fall of Namur, and was the result of a battle that has been under way for practically two weeks. He gives a graphic plcture>of the terrible earnest ness of wrecklessness of life display ed by the Germans. He says:
 After days of gallant fighting the Allies broke. Namur, fell, and Gen. Jofrre was forced to order a general retreat along the whole line. This was orderly at first, and consisted of gradually falling back from one en- trenched position to another.
 "The Germans, fulfilling in order the precepts in war. never gave the army @ moment of rest. The pursuit was immediate and re- lentless.
 "Aeroplanes, Zeppelins, armored motors and cavalry were unleashed like arrows from bows, and served at once the double purpose of harassing the retiring columns and of keeping the German staff fully informed of the movements of the allied armies.
 "The Allies fought their way des- perately, making many stands, but all ways it was forced backwards by the unconquerable mass of numbers of the enemy, which was always eager for the opportunity to sacrifice three or four men to kill one British soldier"

 'The capture of important railroad centers 40 miles south of Lemberg involves the rupture of railway communication with the Austrian fOrtresses on the Dneister river and in Bukovina.
 "Thus the southern part of Galicia as well as Bukovina is severed from the remaining DOT tiOns of Galicia except by a cir cuitOus route through the Car pathian mountains.
