Report Prince Frederic
of Saxe-Meiningen
7 Fell in Namur Attack

BERLIN, Aug 20 (by wireless to the
Associated Press by way of Nauen
and tSayville, Long sland).--Accord-
ing to official announcement made
here today Lieutenant General Prince
Frederic of Saxe-Meiningen was killed
by a. shell before Namur, August %.
No news of the situation on the
eastern and western fronts of Ger
many has been given out today.
The above dispatch evidently clears
up the reports published yesterday
and today that an uncle of Emperor
William had been killed in battle. The
identity of the German nobleman who
has lost his life, up to the receipt of
this dispatch from Berlin, had been
uncertain. One report from Paris
said he was presumed to be Prince Al
bert of Schleswig- Holstein.
Prince Frederic of Sake Meiningen
was born in 1851. He was the third
son of George, late Duke of Sake
Meiningen. He waS<married in 1889
70 Adelaide, Princess of Lippe, and
had six children.

Whiflock Says Surrender of
Brussels Was Urged by Him
and the Spanish Minister

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The mys-
terry of Minister Brand Whitlock's
activities in Brussels was cleared up
Yesterday when the State De-
partment made public report in
which Minister Whitlock states that
he, with the Spanish minister, per-
suaded the authorities to give up the
city without the horror and dcstruc-
ton of a bombardment.
Minister Whitlock's dispatch is
dated August "a, and carries the in
formation that Brussels is surround
ed with armies engaged in active
operations"
Concerning the occupation of Brus-
sells Minister Whitlock's report says:
Owing to the disinterested posi-
ton of the United States / have been
able to render services for which
have been thanked by the German
commanding general by representa-
: tives of the British colony, by the In
ter Parliamentary Union, and by an
official of the Belgian, foreign office,
on behalf of the king. AS ] reported
to the department the Spanish min
ister and 1 made representations to
the burgomaster before the occupa-
ton of Brussels, which led him to
abandon his intention of defending
the city.
THE position of our legation in this
conflict is unique and happily SO de-
tached that, being entirely without
apprehension as to our PERSONAL
safety, Ne have been able to render
certain humane services, scrupulously
observing meanwhile all the require
ments of our neutral position"
An undated telegram from the Sec
rotary of the legation at Belgium
states that all foreigners in Brussels
are safe and unmolested.

JAPS ARE LANDED
FOR ASSAULT ON
K|AU-CHAU FORTS
China Refuses to Restrict Area
of Hostilities-Germans Can
Hold Out Three Months.

PEKING. Aug. 26.-The Japanese
forces have landed on Shan-tung
peninsula to begin their investment
of the forts of Kiau-chau and the
German possession, according to in
formation reaching the Chinese for
eign office. The Japanese landed I'M
der a covering fire from the light
draft British cruisers which were
able to approach closer to the posi-
ton than the heavy draft Japanese
battleships and battle cruisers block
aiding the ports. The forts are re-
ported to have had the range of the
British and to have killed ten men
and slightly damaged the British war
craft.
1T is reported that not only have
the Germans completely mined their
harbor, but they have strewn line
o. mines outside which endanger the
blockading fleet. In addition the Ger
mans have removed some of their
guns in the coast forts to new posi-
lions, thus making valueless the
maps of the defenses possessed by
the Japanese.
Explaining that Japan desired to
prevent as much as possible a need
less loss of life, the Japanese minister
requested the Chinese foreign Office to
remove the limitations on the German
concession already agreed on to pre-
vent the extension of hostilities to
any wider area. The Chinese govern
ment refused
That the German garrison at Kiau-
chau can hold out for not less, than
three months is the general opinion
here. The forts have been materially
strengthened and to take them by
storm would be a herculean task.
Their reduction by shell-fire from the
ships will be distinctly dangerous as
the fort batteries have equal range
with the big guns of the Japanese
squadron.
The Chinese officials have again
been assured that under no circum-
stances does Japan consider holding
the German concession when cap
tured. The Japanese officials here de-
clare that the only object in taking
it is to remove German menace to
the trade of the orient" and it will be
turned hack to its lawful owner,
China, as soon as possible"

Paterson Men Saw Cruiser
Hold Up Austrian Ship

PATTERSON. Aug. 26.-Two Pater-
son men, Charles Woodward, mana
ger of the Branch Hotel, and John
Woodward, saw yesterday morning
the capture of the Austrian vessel,
the Ida, from Trieste, Naples and
Lisbon, by way of Quebec, effected
eff Fire Island by the British cruiser
Essex. Charles Woodward was pay
ing a visit to his brother, who is a
marine observers at Fire Island.
Charles returned home last night and
told to many of his friends how he
had watched the hold-up of the Aus
TRAN freight steamer.
"Both vessels seemed to come from
the east" said Mr. Woodward. THE
steamer was stopped without shot
being fired. After the steamer was
halted we saw a small boat leave the
British cruiser. The steamer laid to
for an hour and then, after the re-
turn of the small boat to the British
ship, the Austrian boat continued on
it's way"
The Ida's papers showed that she
had steamed into Quebec after war
was declared and, not being equipped
with wireless, she did not know of the
war. The Quebec prize court decided
that she should not be held and she
was accordingly allowed to clear for
New York under promise that she
would not again try to evade capture
after reaching New York.

AT LAST BRITISH
GRIP GERMANS,
SAYS DAILY MAIL
ostend Correspondent De-
soribes Beginning of Battle
Which May Be Decisive.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 26.2"At last the
British army is at grips with the Ger.
MANS, says the Ostend correspondent
of the Daily Mail
1T was a great moment when the
British general staff, with their men.
arrived. The inhabitants went mad
with enthusiasm. The British army
has come to Belgium exclaimed the
townspeople gleefully, and nothing
was too good for them. They had no
difiiculty in obtaining needed provi-
sions. The populace was eager to pro-
vide for the visitors, who requisition-
ed. namely, eggs, bread, butter and
coffee. All acquisitions We're paid for
in gold.
The civil population was ordered
to retire in the direction of France.
The people regretfully shouldered
their bags of belongings and passed
silently down the road.
The troops advanced to battle POI
sitions at O'Clock in the morning. At
4 o'clock eight German aeroplanes
appeared, whereupon a flock of Brit
ish aeroplanes rose like birds to drive
them away.
Then the artillery began to talk
and the air became thick with cannon
powder. The great battle had begun.
Forward went the infantry. Rife fire
and Maxim fire added to the boom of
the big guns. Sunrise mingled with
the glow of burning forests and the
flash of guns.
This was Monday. The battle con-
tinued Tuesday, and probably will
continue for several days, either alone
or merging with the battles on the
left and right. The great battle which
is now in full swing along the whole
French, British and Belgian line is
really a series of linked battles form
ing what may well be the decisive en-
gagement of western Europe. 1t is a
supreme effort on the part of Ger
many to break into France an effort
which if stopped must mean disaster
to three-quarters of a million German
soldiers. There seem to be no SOL
diers left to guard the German line
Of communication All is being haz-
arded upon the success or the failure
of this blow. The German advance
has been rapid and steady Their
columns have averaged twenty miles
a day since they reached Brussels

War Revenue Measure
to Await Passage
of Trust Legislation
BY the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-War
revenue legislation, according to ad-
ministration leaders is inevitable, but
will not be undertaken until both
houses are ready to consider it with
out interference of orher legislation.
Majority Leader Underwood said
today that President Wilson was con-
WINGED of the necessity of new taxes
to replenish falling customs, but that
he wanted trust legislation to be out
of the way before addressing Congress
on the subject.
1--WE will do nothing in the House
on the war revenue measure" said
Mr.. Underwood, until the Senate as
sures us that it is ready to proceed.
Any war tax measure naturally dis
turbs business, and when it is decided
what should be done the legislation
should be contaminated without de-
law"

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The military

says. 1--WE and the Dutch need have
no doubt that the annexation of all

which would only be preliminary to
the concentration of all German effort
