ENGLAND STANDS
READY TO AID THE
BELC|ANS T0LAST
No Official Announcement
of the Losses Sustained by
the British in Recent
Battle Received.

London, Aug. 26. -- Since the with
drawal of the allied armies to the de-
fenses Of the French frontier, virtually
no news has reached the public of the
military operations In southern Bel
gium.
Owing to the difficulty of compiling
correct list along such an extended
front, no details of the British casu-
alties, which Premier Asquith esti-
mated yesterday at 1000, yet have been
received. This delay is increasing the
distress of anxious relatives of men at
the front.
The announcement of losses, how
ever, only seems to have intensified
British determination. judging from
the extra work being performed by the
recruiting officers today This ten
acity of purpose was further evidenced
by Premier Asquith in the house of
commons this afternoon in making the
announcement that he proposed to ask
King George to convey to the king OF
Belgium the admiration with which
Great Britain regarded the heroic re-
sistance of his army and people to the
wanton invasion of their territory and
Gil dSouldilCo Ol lUC OIL
this. country to support in every way
the efforts Of Belgium to vindicate her
own independence and the public law
OF Europe"
To Tell World of Atrocities.
The premier declared further that
the Belgian government was taking
steps to get the established facts of
German pfporffiAz ra1atad In, ba
statement given out yesterday by the
Belgian minister here, to the know
ledge of the whole civilized world.
The opponents of compulsory mill
tary service in Great Britain momen-
tarily raised their heads in the house
of commons today, but the premier re-
assured them. He said there was no
intention of introducing this system.
He added. however that Secretary of
War Kitchener needed all the recruits
he could get. 1t was a great mistake
to think. Premier Asquith declared,
that Great Britain wanted only 10o,-
900 men.
The rush of the main Russian army
toward the fortress of Posen in the
German province of Posen, If true,
Is AeSdlueu Hore rs tno SENSATIONAL
news of the day. 1t might account
for the Germans falling back in east
ern Prussia.
The report that the French have
abandoned their positions in Alsace
has not been confirmed. although 1t
is labeled as official by the news
agency which carried 1t. Other ver-
sions of the same official statement
do not contain this reference and the
French embassy today declared that it
knew nothing of the matter.

count of what It terms the memorable
charge of the Russian horse guards at
Gumbinnen during the recent fighting
in which the Russians were victorious,
1t says:
'Ths Germans held q position In a
small village. from which they were
pouring a murderous fire on the Rus
sian troops. Cavalry was ordered to
silence the guns. The first squadron
rode straight at the battery, which, ffr-
ing point blank. moved down the Rus
sian ranks frightfully, annihilating the
squadron. The second squadron fol-
lowed fast and would have shared tho
same fate. except that at the critical
moment third squadron rushed onto
the enemy from the flank, sabred the
gunners and routed the whole German
force.
THE Germans ran like rabbits, dis
carding swords, helmets and clothing In
their mad haste to escape the avenRina
Russian horsemen.
"One squadron of Nixhni hussars,
who all are famous swordsman, cut
down 10 Germans without receiving
a scratch in return"

GERMANS OFFER
TO CAPITULATE
ON CONDITIONS
West Africa Having War of
Its Own-British Officers
Insist on an Unconditional
Surrender.

London, Aug. 26.-Premier Asquith,
in the house OF commons this after
noon, read a communication from the
commander-in -chief of the forces in
British west Africa saying that the au-
thorities of Togoland. the German
colonial possession on the west coast of
Africa, had offered to capitulate on
terms. In reply, the British officer said
that the capitulation must be uncondi-
tional.

Meanwhile the wilma army is drtv-

ward Danzig. The question now is
whether the German forces can escape
and how long tho Russians will take
in occupying the territory east OF the
river Vistula. There they will fnd
strong German defenses. It Is re-
ported that the Russians on MoNlay
reached Marienburg, only 2b miles from
Danzig.

1t may interest a few philan-

that the minimum wage for girls in
the Ford auto plant at Detroit is $40

Michigan is a queer state. All that
fuss up at Calumet grows out of the
greed of some Massachusetts million

The striking miners are citizens OF
Michigan. The mine owners are nom

But the miners are poor. and the
owners are rich. That's what makes
the difference.
