GERMANS AT L|EGE.
TROOPS OF THREE NATIONS Eff
Feet JANCTIoN ACROSS
BELGIAN LINE.
ANOTHER BATTLE EXPECTED
Germans Are Receiving Reinforce
ments-Occupy Belgian Territory
General Staff Issues Statement
King Albert Congratulated.

BrusselS.-Belgian official reports
received by the war office record the
important fact that a junction had
been effected by the Belgian, British
and French troops across the line of
the German advance through Belgium.
The location of the troops of the three
armies was not revealed, but in any
future operation it is understood that
they will act together.
A dispatch to the Antwerp Sandels-
bad from Maastich states that the Ger
mans have received reenforcements
and completely occupy the Belgian ter
ritory bordering on the Dutch prov
ince of Limburg Sunday. They are
now engaged with the Belgian army,
which has taken its position near Ton
gres, IL miles southwest of Maasticht.
The fighting was progressing in the
valley of the Geer.
The following statement has been is
sued by the general staff:
''The position of the German troops
has hardly changed since Saturday.
Their advance attachments are re-
treating under the irresistible pres
sure of the French troops, who are in
considerable force in all the country
south of the Mouse, which they are
clearing of German troops. The enc
my's offensive movement has been
completely stopped. The French and
Belgian troops will take the offensive
simultaneously, in accordance with
concerted plans"
The Russian emperor has tele-
graphed to King Albert his congratu-
lations and best wishes for the con.
tinued success of the Belgian army.
At Liege, where the Belgian garri-
son has presented such a stubborn
front to the German attackers, the
fighting has ceased since early Sun
day morning and the Belgian troops
and citizens have taken advantage OF
the lull to strengthen the defenses OF
the city. Between the forts lines OF
earthworks have been thrown up by
men of the city, who have worked
without cessation night and day.
The sighting of a German cavalry
patrol to the south of Namur was evi
dence of the activity of the German
forces in Luxembourg, showing thai
they are accommodating to discover
the position of the defending armies
The retirement of the German troops
out of range of the guns of the forts
of Liege was supposed to indicate tha
they were concentrating and waiting
for reenforcements to renew the at
tack.
In the meantime the French troop:
who have crossed the frontiers of Bel
GUM continued to advance methodical
ly and their approach strengthens the
position of the Belgian army from
- hour to hour.
1t was reported that the greater par
of Luxembourg, which had been occu
pied by the Germans, had been cleared
of the invaders by the advance of thu
French army.

sPoKANE's MARKET REPORT

1t is doubtful if the business situa-
ton in its general aspect has pre-
sented a more complex problem in the
hitory of modern times than is the
case at the present moment. There
is no precedent by which to measure
the possibilities entailed, much less
forecast the probable developments in
cident to such a conflict as now APP
pears inevitable, involving the great
commercial and industrial nations of
Europe. 1t is presumable, based upon
the usually accepted theory that the
American market will be practically
placed under the control of the Ameri-
can producer, while the stagnation in
activities abroad creates a certain de-
mand for commodities, that, once
there has come an adjustment through
which commercial intercourse may be
maintained upon the high seas, that
America will profit by the misfortunes
of the nations across the water.
The passage of the new currency
law will, it is believed, prove a bull
wark of defense against complications
incident to the withdrawal of gold
from this country, to meet the de-
mands of foreign investors, who hold
something like $6,O0O,OOO, 900 of our Sc
curities, and there is confidence that
this country will withstand the finan-
cial strain without serious or far
reaching complications, while the
check interposed to the annual outgo
of millions of dollars by tourists trav-
cling in Europe will be an appreciable
factor in the conservation of re-
sources, while opening up a vast field
of opportunity to the Pacific coast for
profit from the diversion that is GER
tain to follow.
Wheat prices have been practically
withdrawn, though the undertone is
regarded as a firm one. Grocery prod
ucts will be slightly influenced except
for specially prepared condiments,
olive oil, teas, coffees, Ceylon teas,
spices and Greek currants, and pos
sibly foreign fish products, though
there are indications, with Great
Britain already involved, of the shut
ting out of expected imports of dairy
products and meats from the Anti
podes, which, in the face of the short
pack of butter, would send up quota
lions materially.
Locally, business has been season
ably active during the week, and, un-
der normal conditions, the outlook
would hold excellent for fall and win
ter operations.

Wheat-There is no wheat market.
That is the edict of exporters, who
positively decline to make quotations
under existing conditions of uncer-
tainty. The trade is stagnated through
the impossibility presented of gauging
the situation. Buyers, operating under
existing conditions, are simply doing
so upon speculative basis, for, with
insurance withdrawn, and the avenues
of delivery practically closed, one
mans guess is as good as another's
as to the future. Last quotations were
up cent from those of week ago,
at sec for bluestem and nc for club,
but these are largely nominal figures,
and until there is a more definite I'M
derstanding covering shipping opera
tons the market will be confined
largely to supplying milling require
ments. In the meantime, however, the
farmers are well contented to accept
the situation and withhold from sell
ing, feeling that possibilities fore
shadow markedly higher prices, and
in the meantime there is enough to
engage their attention in the prosecu-
ton of operations which will secure
the bumper crop in good condition.

A belated Christmas gift was the
cause of bomb scare at the home of
Joseph Smith, 334 South Twelfth
street, yesterday 1t was not until
policemen opened the package con-
tanning the gift that apprehension on
the part of the Smith family was al
layed.
Miss Marie Coleman, Mr.. Smiths
sister-in-law, received the package
by express yesterday afternoon. After
the expressman had gone Miss Cole
man fancied she heard faint tick
ing which seemed to come from in
side the package. She turned the
parcel over and sure enough the tick
ing continued. Then the inscription
on the outside was a puzzle. 1t was
addressed to Mr.. Smith. but was
marked From Bertha Tanzo, 176
Madison avenue, New York"
Miss Coleman had never heard of
any one by that name and she imme-
diately decided that there was plot
afoot to kill her brother-in-law. Mrs.
Smith also had never heard of Tan

band and he called up the local police
and then got the New York police
at work.
The bomb was placed out in the
yard. in fact so far out that not one
single on the house would have been
touched If an explosion had taken
place

SUPPOSED BOMB is FOUND TO BE
MUCH BELATED CHRISTMAS PACKAGE

Lieutenant Van Orden sent Ser
geant McCabe and Plainclothesman
Schmidt to the house. The package
was pointed out to them as II lay on
the grass in the yard. The policemen
decided that if the bomb had been
intended TO go off in time to Kill MI.
Smith, it would probably be set LOT
the time he would be home from his
office, which would be in two hours.
Sergeant McCabe, of the Seventh
precinct, picked up the package
looked it over carefully and then tore
off a corner of the thick brown paper
wrapping. Nothing resulted. Schmidt
then took the string off the package
and a heavy cardboard box was re-
yealed. The ticking stopped. the
cover was then ripped off and nne
collection of japanese china, selected
Oriental candies and Chinese fruits
and nuts came to view. The suspl-
cious ticking was caused by one OF
the nuts getting inside of a china
bowl. and every time the bowl was
moved the nut would roll from side
to side.
The police later learned that the
package had been purchased on De-
cember 16, by Miss Lillian NJ. Medick,
of SIS Pennsylvania avenue. a friend
of the Smith family, from the Tanzo
store in New York. 1t had been sent
with instructions to deliver before
Christmas.

Complainant in Assault
Case Against Bartender
Is Held Under $500 Bail

Louis Rapp. who alleges that he
was assaulted in a saloon at Belmont
and Eighteenth avenues on the morn
ing of January IL by the bartender,
Meyer Block, was held in $500 bail by
Judge Herr in the Fourth Precinct
Police Court today as a material wit
ness, to await the action of the grand
Jury. Block is held in $500 bail on a
charge of assault and battery. Rapp
has been in the City Hospital ever
since the alleged assault took place
and at one time his life was dispaired
of.
Block said that Rapp had been in
an argument with another man. and
that in attempting to stop it he was
forced to push both men out of the
door. Rapp fell, his head striking
the tagging. rendering him uncon-
scious. Patrolman Fredericks, of the

Wants Brewery Put on
Unfair List, as Wagons Are
Repaired in NOn=UniOn Shops

Delegate F. W. Wiechelmann, of the
Carriage and Wagon Workers Union.
asked delegates of the Essex Trades
Council, at the meeting last night, to
place a local brewery on the unfair
list of the council. Delegate Wiechel-
mann stated that the brewing concern
was having its wagon repair work
done in non-union shops. Secretary
Hilfers, at this point. told the dele
gates that it would be bad policy for
the council to take any such action at
the present time. He said that there
were so few union repair shops in the
city that all the breweries in the city
could not get the work done in a
reasonable length of time. The matter
was referred to the arbitration COM
mittee.
Delegate A. ]. Cozzolino. of the
Walters Union. announced that the
union would hold a mass meeting in
Miners Empire Theatre tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock.
Matters concerning the trouble at
the Nankin Garden Restaurant would
be discussed. 1t is expected that sew
eral prominent labor leaders will
speak.
The next convention of the State
Federation of Labor will be held in
this city in August. A committee of
ten will be appointed to make ar
rangements for the affair.

MOTOR CLUBS
FAIL TO AGREE
Consolidation, However, Is Left
to Subcommittee of Three
Organizations.

After discussing for more than
three hours last night the proposed
consolidation of the Newark Motor
Club and the proposed Essex Motor
Club with the New Jersey Automobile
Trade Association, the representatives
of these three organizations, in ses-
sion at Achtel-Stetters, failed to reach
an agreement and referred the matter
to a subcommittee of three of the
representatives for a further investi-
cation. The committee will report
back at another meeting to be held
at Achtel-Stetters next wednesday
night.
The meeting last night was a secret
session. The matter is being conduct
ed with the greatest secrecy. Even
the names of the subcommittee will
not be made public, according to the
statement of Joseph H. Wood, who is
very much interested in the proposed
consolidation.
From the information gained from
several of the representatives who
were present at the meeting last night
it would seem as il the popular senti-
ment of the conference was the or
ganization of an entirely new club
instead of the consolidation. 1t was
decided definitely that the New Jer-
sey Automobile Trade Association
could not be consolidated with the
two motor clubs because it was more
in the nature of a trades combination.
The association, however, will have
interlocking members and will assist
in the consolidation of the two clubs
or the reorganization of a new motor
club.
The Automobile Club of Buffalo was
referred to as a standard of the man
ner of club this city should support.
