that the German campaign to
turn the allies position is con-
tinued to-day.
Dispatches from Brussels and
Amsterdam agree that the Ger
man forces in Belgium are mass
ing to-day for simultaneous at
tack on Louvain and Namur with
250,000 men. These two cities
are heavily fortified and and con-
stitute the Belgian defense of
Brussels and Antwerp.
The Belgian aero corps is of in
estimable value to the field forces.
Every German move is antici-
pated. Streams of Belgian and
German wounded are being
taken to Bressels from the front
Private houses are being turned
into hospitals, and schoolhouses
and meeting halls are also used.
The German losses at Haelen,
Tirlemont, ille-Taviers and
Eghezee are declared by the War
Office to have exceeded 10, 900 in
killed and wouded with more
than 5000 taken prisoners.
The German commanding Gen.
erals are not considering the
human equation of their opera
tions. They are sacrificing men
like flies. Massed columns are
being pushed forward every
where in the effort to feel oat"
the Belgian front and they have
been moved down like wheat by
the Belgian rapid-fre guns.
But the German advance is
persisted in. Forced to retreat
at one point the forward move
ment is renewed at another. The
French and British armies will
take up the defense of Belgium
after the first line of defense is
penetrated as now seems certain.
LIEGE FORTS STILL INTACT.
Belgians say none has capitu-
lated as was claimed in reports
issued by Germans.
Brussels, Aug. IA, (via Paris,
1:55, p. m. lit was officially an
nounced here to-day that none of
the Liege forts had capitulated.
as had been stated in German re-
ports. 1t was declared that the
defenders had been instructed to
blow up the forts rather than
surrender. A rumor that an at
tempt had been made on the life
of King Albert was based on a
slight accident to the royal auto
mobile.
Technical observers of the mill
tary operations of the last two
days declare their opinion is con-
firmed that the German army is
seeking to reach the French
border through the Southern part
of the Belgian province of Bra
bant, crossing that section where
the Plain of Waterloo is situated
and forcing the Belgian army to
retreat upon Ant Werp

that Benedict took refuge behind the mule, and tried to draw bead Witf the shotgun resting on the animals shoulder. The accused did not desire to kill his oWn mule, and he called tC Benedict to "get from behind that mule," and finally found opportunity 10 fire at Benedict, shooting under the mules neck. He did not know why Benedict did not shoot, but now believes shell became jammed
 In the effort to substantiate the contention that Benedict fired the first shot and did not fire again only because a shell damned in the pump gun he was using, the defense intro duced five shells. Four of these were picked up near where Lindsey stood, and are admitted as being from his gun. The fifth is said to have been found near where Benedict was when the first shot was fired. This shell is different from those fired in Lindsey's gun.
 'Eo Kill or Be KilIed.'' -
 Mrs. Parny Moring proved 2 good witness for the defense. She testi- fled that she saw Benedict approach ing on a mule, carrying a gun. Ap- prehensive of trouble, sine advised him not to go back there Mrs. Mor- ing testified that Benedict said thai was good advice, ''as good advice 8; my mother would give., me, but can't accept it." Witness said Bene- dict declared he was going back therf "to kill or be killed" In rebuttal the state introduced witnesses who testified they were near Benedict and Mrs. Moring, but did not hear this statement.
 Mrs. Daisy Morris testified that Steve Ashcraft, one of the witnesses for the prosecution had been heard by her to say he "could clear Tobe Lindsey with one word" This word according to witness quotation of Ashcraft was that Lindsey fired first"
 Walter Johnson, Bob Morris and Leo Burgess testified as to the loca- tion of the shells introduced hy the defense, as did Bill Tom Morris, a members of the coroner's jury at the inquest on Benedict's body Colum- bus Moring and J.

 Why are the American factories not running night and day? Why are 'ae railroads not opening up new ter fitorles and getting ready for the millions of immigrants who have al- ready made up their minds to leave europe as soon as the war is over?
 Why are there not fifty American ufummers in London right now, try lng to sell $2OO,0OO,O0O worth of american goods in place of the goods .lat were bought last year from uermany and Austria?

 The French gains were particular ly notable in the Argonne region, where heavy infantry engagements were fought, resulting in the occupa- tion by the French of several Ger man trenches. Progress was record ed along the whole of this front, with the exception of at one point, where the Germans, by sapping operations, were able to blow up one of the French trenches with mine.
 In the Vosges, the Germans attack ed with vigor northwest of Sinomes, but elsewhere they showed no activi- ty, and the French were permitted to continue the work of strengthening the positions they occupied last week.
