Attack On
Fl. Seraing
800 GERMANS KILLED IN ONE
HALF MILE SQUARE
Little News Is Allowed to Filter
Through; Only One Wire to Eu-
rope; Liege Still STANDS
(By Associated Press. J

Brussels. Aug. 1.-THE Germans
made Q desperate attack on Fort
SerainG, south of Liege, Sunday
night but We're repulscd with a
heavy loss. 1t is estimated that 500
Germans were killed in less than a
square of half mile.
A bridge which the Germans were
crossing was shattered by the fire
of the fort which had an exact range,
The Germans attempted the assault
with great courage Some of their
dead were found directly in front of
the barb wire fences that surround
the forts. 1t is reported that Prince
William of Lippe and his son, who
were killed, were charging at the
head of 100 German soldiers. Their
bodies were buried near the fort.
One of the spies arrested by the
Belgans in Ostend had in his pos
session plans lndlcatlng the mating
points of the German army on the
march to Paris. According to these
Brussels was to be reached Aug. 3
and Lille, France, Aug. 5.
Military authorities here assert
that the German cavalry division
were told to make a raid on Brussels
with the object, it is believed, either
of lcvying war contributions or seiz-
ing the treasury. 1t is argued they
evidently rcckoned on not meeting
Belgian resistance.
AS evidence that the German plans
to traverse Belgian territory were
known to we'll informed Germans
here it is pointed out that cele
bated chauteau in Belgium, belong
ing to German prince, was cmptied
six weeks ago, all the silver, works
of are and other articles being sent
to Germany.

CONCERN FELT ABOUT BODY
OF COMPTROLLER CHAMBERS

st. Augustine, Aug. 11.-Much
concern is felt here because nothing
further has been heard from Miss
Kathleen Chambers relative to her
bringing home the body Of her fa-
ther, Comptroller W. II. Chambers,
of the Florida East Coast Railway
The cablegram announcing his death
came from London, but MAY have
been forwarded by way of the Brit
ish capital. Some fear is felt that
his death occurred in the war-torn
continent, and that the stricken
daughter is meeting with trouble in
getting away from Europe with the
remains of her father.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN
THE RULE BEFORE
H. l.. SWATTS, Clerk

Gainesville, Aug. H. The board
of county commissioners at their
regular session here adopted reso-
luton which will probably lessen
the number Of permits for carrying
pistols in Alachua county heneeforthI
The resolution, in effect, is that no
more permits will be granted un-
less the persons wanting such priyi-
leges shall appear before the board
and give good and sufficient reasons
why they desire to carry weapons
In this action the board will have
the sanction of the large majority Of
citizens, as the proceedings Of the
commissioners show that a number
of pistol bonds are filed each month.
Heretofore to secure a permit to car
ry a gun has been a mere formality,
the filing with the clerk of duly
executed bond. The clerk would
present the petition to the commits
sioners, and as a rule the permit
would be granted. Under the new
order the practice will be abated to
a large extent, it is thought-at any
rate the board proposes to have full
information concerning each appli-
cation before taking action.

NOTHING ALARMING IN
THE ROCK SITUATION

Nothin, more than an eXpectant
attitude, watchrulncss Of the tide
of events in Europe is apparent in
the phosphate mines in Polk county,
declares T. N Dozier, general
agent for the Scaboard who has just
finished a round Of visits to the lead
ing plants in that region All the
mines are running with the cxcep-
tion of those at Coronet aud Penn
broke, the latter controlled by the
company at Coronet.
As shutting down of these two
mines, controlled by a French cor
poration, entails a decrease Of only
$4,000 tons of rock a day, It is be-
lieved their action will not affect the
rock situation to any marked degree.
Mr.. Dozier says the transportation
company has not felt any falling off
in business to amount to anything.
