BELGiANS EARN PRAISE FOR
THE GREAT STAND MADE

London, Aug. S.-All eyes were turn
ed today toward Belss-:11. where the
unexpected stand made by the Bel
gian army against a German advance
guard has earned praise in all quar-
tiers.
The authorities here have taken the
greatest precautions to prevent the
leakage of information as to military
and naval movements, but indications
were seen in the communicating Of
large liners and the stoppage of the
cross channel passenger traffic that a
British expeditionary force probably
soon would depart. The possible des
tination of this expedition could not
be ascertained and the report from
Paris announcing that the landing of
British troops had evoked enthusiasm
carefully hid the place of their en-
barkment.
President Poincare also gave out the
news in his message to King Albert of
Belgium, that French troops were
shedding their blood with the Bel
gians on the battlefield today
The fighting around Liege, although
regarded in military circles as import
ant, is considered merely as an open
ing movement in the campaign, the
plan of which has been kept we'll hid

HEAVY RAINS RETARDING
ADVANCE OF THE GERMANS

London. Aug. 8.-A Brussels des-
patch states that heavy rains are
swelling the Meuse and it's tributaries
and retarding the German advance.
According to late dispatches this
morning quite an important engage
ment between French ana Germans
occurred in Belgian Luxembourg.
The Etoile Beige of Brussels learns
from an official source that no de-
cisions has been reached on the ques-
ton of an armistice al liege, an en-
gagement having begun elsewhere.
Other dispatches from zSruSsels in
dictate the armistiCe of "a hours ask
ed by the Germans mas been refused
by the Belgians.
A despatch to the Exchange Tele
graph Company from Brussels says
that division of German cavalry
which had succeeded in fording the
Meuse to the north of Liege was sur
prised and practically annihilated by
Belgian cavalry and infantry, support
ed by a battery Of light artillery.
The German rOut was complete and
seven German regiments surrendered.
\ despatch from Milan to tn Thron-
icle says that the Italian authorities
have seized two German trans
Atlantic vessels, the Moltke and

Forts at Liege
Are Holding Out
Against Attacks
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Paris, Aug. Sit is officially an
nounced today that the forts at Liege
continue holding out. The Germans
who entered the city evacuated Friday
before the arrival OF the Belgian divi-
sion which had come to the assistance
of the Belgian defenders. While the
withdrawal Of the Germans is consid-
cred an unquestioned moral defeat, the
evacuation was without military sig
nificance. The forts command the
routes and railroads.
The operations OF the Germans were
based on the hypothesis of rapid sue
cess. Consequently they were organ
lied with little regard for provisioning
the army. The Belgians retarded the
advance for seventy mine hours with
the result that their army was in
creased with troops destined to rein
force Liege.
The confidence of the Belgians has
been increased by the suspension OF
hostilities requested by the Germans.
King Albert, In an order to the third
division and the fifteenth mixed brf-
gade, who assisted in the heroic de-
Tense of Liege, took occasion to salute
them and the army in the name OF
the nation, adding that France and her
soldiers were coming to their help.
English troops are disen1barking on
French soil according to an Official
announcement today. The disembark-
ment is taking place under the direc-
ton of French officers but the point Of
is not revealed.

WAS ENGAGED IN BATTLE

Brussels. Aug S.-A force Of French
cavalry arrived at the East of Liege
today. according to an official state
ment here The French troopers were
said to be advancing.
The Germans were granted a two
hour armistiCe in order that they
might collect their wounded, according
to another report.
An official communication issued a
Paris states that the troops in the
fortress of Liege being sufficient for
the defense of the town, an active
division modified at Liege has join
ed the army in the field.
English military critics in London
paDers comment on the failure of the
ia cities of the German infantry eX-
hibited in their frontal attacks on the
Liegc forts in which they were re-
pulsed. 1t is contend@I that the Ger
mans learned nothing from recent
wars and still adhere to methods
adopted in the FrancO-German war.

The steamship Nubian, which is
coming up from Port st. Joe. is ex-
pected to reach here in time for start
ing work on Monday morning:
The steamship Oceana, which is
consigned to the Bars company, will
probably finish up her cargo Mon
day, three gangs OF timber to go out
in the morning and finish up her deck
load. This was the decision last night.
The steamship Twilight, to load tim
bep and lumber, as~well as a lot of
NAVAL stores, will also likely start
k1orking tomorrow morning. This was
ne steamer which upon arrival. was
vdocked at the east side Of Tarragona
wharf. thence moving into the stream
for what was pronounced an indefinite
stay pending settlement of the en-
Hbargo then placed on foreign vessels.
1t is understood this steamer will first
load the naval stores and then work
timber and lumber, to finish up in the
stream.
There was no announcement last
night as to the disposition of the
steamer Chiswfck, which reached
here with a deckload Of mahogany
logs from Belize. but which was filled
for Liverpool. Discharging her deck
load. the Chiswick moved to the
stream and dropped anchor. 1t is be-
1ieved. however, that a deckload of
timber or lumber will be loaded on
this steamer.
The Veenbergen, the Gracia and the
Lucia, Dutch, Spanish and Austrian
steamers respectively, are at anchor
in the stream, and 1t was asserted from
unofficial sources, however, that these
vessels would probably get away to
sea during the week.
Whether the steamships will start
to work Monday or not, the fact re-
mains that crews were ordered to the
docks last night for duty Monday
morning, and unless present intentions
are changed. there will be a general
resumption in the timber and lumber
line.

Gen. Won Mo1tke, 66, Has
Made the Business Of War
His Life's Work.

Gen. Helmuth Won MoItze. who as
chief of staff of the German army
commands the kaiser's forces, is &c
years old and has spent his life study
ing the business of war.
Next to the great French chief of
staff, Gen. Joffre, he is probably the
most picturesque of the many high
army officers now engaged in an &C
tive European war. He saw active
service in the Franco Prussian war A
years ago and distinguished himself
notably.
From the first he has been a favor
lite with the kaiser. His appointment
as chief of staff was in fact a deCla-
ration on the kaiser's part that the
army was to be run along lines of the
old school, with a mailed FIST, that is.
And yet it was said, though with what
authority is not known, that when the
kaiser gave Gen. Won Moltke the high
est place in the army he told him that
in the event CT war he would be dis
placed.
He was born May IS. 1s4S. in Gers
dorf, Mecklenburg. He attended the
gymnasium at Rendsburg, and became
a cornet on April l, 1859. In 1870 he
was promoted to be lieutenant and
took part with distinction in the war
against France, being decorated with
the iron cross of the second class.
In 1881 he was assigned TO the gen.
eral staff of the army. In 1881 he was
made captain on the general staff and
in 1882 he became second adjutant to
the chief of the general staff of the
army. Gen. Field Marshal Count Won
Moltke.
With the retirement Of Field Mar
shall Won Moltke as chief of the gen.
eral staff of the army and his appoint
ment to the presidency of the land ap-
portionment commission Napt. Won
Moltke, who at that time was serving
as his personal adjutant, became in
1855 a major of the line.
On the death of Field Marshal Won
Moltke, his uncle, in 1891 he became
aide de camp to the kaiser.
In 1895 he became major general
and comma dant At Potsdam.
He has been chief of the general
staff of the army since Feb. 16, 1904.
AS chief of the general staff he sue
ceeded Field Marshal Count Won
SchIleffen. The latter. who was near
ly rs years old, was kicked severely by
a horse and crippled. a rule OF the
general staff is that no one not ply
sically sound may remain on it. Even
fat men are excluded from this mos
honored daaartment of the army.

BOTH GERMAN AND FRENCH
WAR CHIEFS OVER go YEARS
General Joffre, 81, is Noted
as a Master at Often
sive Tactics.
Savannah Morning News.

Gen. Joffre chief of the French
general staff, the man who will direct
the forces of France in their opposi-
ton % German invasion, entered the
French army when a lad of IS in time
TO serve throughout the Franco Prus-
sian war. He is now So years old,
just four years the junior of his Ger
man adversary, Gen. Won Moltke, and
has held his present place about two
years.
He Joined the army in 1870 as sec
ond lieutenant, and for two months
at that boyish age commanded a bat
terry of artillery during the siege of
Paris. That was Gen. Joffre's first
service which commanded attention
Later he led the force that occupied
the town of Timbuctoo for France and
became governor of the capital of
Madagascar, completing the organiza-
ton of the province before he gave up
the post.
Gen. Joffre besides enjoying a pe-
culiar renown for experiences in math-
ematics, of which he is very fond, is
chiefly known in the French army and
among the French citizens as a quiet
man of great courtesy. who receives
his callers and talks in a kindly sort
of way that does not seem to go with
his place as a war lOrd-the man who
commands an army that in war time
numbers more than 100000 men.
The men who have written about
Gen. Joffre have all found time to re-
mark that his policy is one OF attack.
He is said to believe that a command
er's first duty is always to attack
1t was only two years ago that Gen
Joffre went to Russia and received
marked consideration from the car
and the Grand Duke Nicholas durin z
the Russian army maneuvers in Au-
gust. A year ago he won wide praise
in France for the remarka bic showing
made by all departments of the
French army at the general maneu-
Vers.
Very shortly thereafter he gave the
French army a taste of his discipline
by depriving five high generals of
their posts for being unable to stand
the physical tests of these same ma
neuvers.
Gen. Joffre is said to be a man of
great constructive force and an abso-
lutely rigid will. AS Commander-in-
chief he bears with the French min
lister of war full responsibility for the
French forces.

Several Millions
For the Cotton
Growers ofSouh

New York, Aug. s.-Reports that
New York bankers were considering
a proposal to advance Southern cotton
growers $500, 600, 900 at the rate of $40
per bale to assist in gradual mar
ketjng Of the new crop attracted con-
siderable attention in the trade here
today, as such action would be con-
sidered a step in the direction of es-
tablishing a minimum value for the
staple under war conditions. Some
thing more definite in the way of
measures for conserving the value of
the crop is expected next week.
While talk in local trade circles re-
Elected rather a more optimistic feel
ing, business in spot cotton as we'll
as in futures was reported absolutely
at a standstill. Manchester cables
dated August report business and
shipments practically suspended with
all quotations nominal. Already, ac-
scording to these cables, there has been
a large stoppage of spindles and looms
for an indefinite period and ia is ex-
pected that the number will be largely
Increased in the immediate future.
REPORTS from local drygoods circles
indicate large demand for heavy cot
ton goods from bag manufacturers
whose supplies Of burlap have shut
out by war conditions.

KING ALBERT APPEALED
TO FRANCE TO SEND AID

Brussels. Aug. SKIING Albert ap-
pealed to France for aid in repulsing
the Germans, according to the tx
change Telegraph Company. The king
III II message to President Poincare
thanked him for his prOmptneSs in re
spending to the Belgian appeal.
President POinCare replied that the
French troops were proud to second
the brave belgian army and in reCog-
milton of its gallant defense, confer
red the cross Of the Legion of Honor
on the city of LieGe.
The newspapers are assured from
official sources that no decision has
been reached with regard to the re-
quest Of the Germans for an armistiCe
and moreover that the battle at Liege
is continuing.
President Poincare in informing
King Albert of the decora ton of the
valiant city of Liege" with the cross
of the Legion of Honor today said:
The government of the French re-
public wishes to honor the Coura geOus
defenders of Liege and the whole Bel
gian army with which since this
morning the French army is shedding
its blood on the battlefield"
According to reports received here
from Liege several German regiments
marched into battle under the Bel
gian flag and wore Belgian cocka des
in order to deceive the defenders.
The war office has issued an off
Cial statement saying that 10000 Ger
mans participated in the assault on
the forts at Liege but that they com
pletely failed to make any impression
on the Notifications. Three army
corps engaged in the attack, were cut
up and rendered useless, it is declar-
ed
Soldiers returning here report that
the trenches around Liege are liter
ally filled with the bodies of Germans
In some places the bodies are piled
four and five deep.
The minister Of war has received
word that fighting has occurred be-
tween French and Germans in Belgium
and Luxembourg.
For many days" the statement of
the war office reads, our little army
by tenacity and courage rendered
highly valuable service to the French
army, which for some days under
forced march has been hurryiug to our
assistance and now occupies a con-
siderable portion OF our territory.
Hundreds of German prisoners have
been captured. These are chiefly cav
alrymen. The spirit of the German
soldiers lacks enthusiasm. They APP
pear to be fighting lethargically, while
their officers endeaVor to pass them
selves off as Frenchmen."

CHINA APPROVES
WILSON'S EFFORTS
BY AssOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Aug. S.-China through
her legation here, has approved Pres
ident Wilson's action in extending
good offices to compose the European
war through mediation or arbitration
This approval was expressed to Sec
rotary Bryan today by Minister Kai
Flu Shah.
China is cut off Geographically from
Europe except Russia, beyond which
country no messages can be forward
ed, according to information received
at the legation. Communication still
remains, however. by the Pacific ca
bIes between China and the Pacific
slope. 1t is supposed that the British
government has taken possession Of
the extensive system of cables which
connect the Far East with Europe
by way of the Chinese waters, the In
dian ocean, the Red sea and the Medi
terranean and that they are closed to
commercial usage.
