Many Fights Reported.

Berlin, Via Brussels, Aug. 3.-The
small cruiser Augsburg has sent the
following report to Berlin by wireless:
"Am bombarding the naval harbor
at Libau and am engaged with the en-.
emy's cruisers. The naval port of Ii
bau is in flames"
Libau is one of the principal sea
ports of Russia and is located on the
Baltic sea, 100 miles or more north
Of the German coast. 1t is fortified
and used as an arsenal by the navy.
Russia lnvades Germany.
Russia Sunday began invasion OF
German territory, sending forces
across the Germany frontier al
schwinden, southeast Of Bialla, while
shortly after midnight Russian pa
troll entered Germany near Eichenreid
in Posen. The Russian column which
crossed the frontier at Schwinden waf
accompanied by artillery. The Russian
patrol which entered near Eichenreid
attacked the German guard at the
railroad bridge over the Warthe, and
was repulsed. Two Germans were

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Aug. 3.-Four great powers
of-Europe-Austria-Hunga Russia,
France and Germany-are now en-
gagged in actual warfare, but two OF
them, Germany and France, not only
have not declared war against each
other, as far as is known here, but
have not even severed diplomatic re-
lations. This in despite the fact that
Germany's ultimatum to France has
either been ignored or rejected
The explanation Of this would ap-
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning the war.
In fact, whilo the nations Of Europe
are flying at each others throats, they
are vieing with each other In protest
ing their desire to maintain peace, and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole continent into
bloodshed.
In this remarkable situation, France.
according to British opinion, has the
strongest justification. She certainly
was the last to mobilize and seems
to have taken the greatest precau-
tions to avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand, Germany, in ad-
dition to invading French territory
without making a formal declaration
of war, has violated the neutrality
laws by the seizure of Luxemburg and
declines to give any pledge to respect
Belgian neutrality.
1t is difficult to see how Great Bri-
tain can avoid being drawn into the
conflict to protect Belgian and Dutch
neutrality, and on this point Premier
Asquith's official announcement in
Parliament is awaited with intense
anxiety.
One German force crossed the
French frontier near the village OF
Grey, between Nancy and strassburg,
and another German detachment, prob.
ably the Twentieth infantry seized the
grand duchy OF Luxemburg, neutral
territory between Belgium and Ger
many, and continued its march on the
French fortified town Of Longwy. A
dispatch from Brussels said this force
later in the day entered France and
was hurr ry(ng in to Paris.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Plans were
practically completed last night for the
care of Americans in war-torn Europe.
Congress, at the request OF Presi-
dent Wilson, appropriated $250.000 as
an initial step, and will grant more.
funds If desired. The appropriation
will be used In caring for the imme-
diate needs of Americans, especially
those without means Of obtaining any
funds.
Americans who have letters of
credit and travellers checks, or other
forms of money credit, will be assist
ed by American embassies In having
them cashed.
Friends and relatives of Americans
abroad can deposit with the State De-
partment here any sum they choose
and an embassy check for an eQuiva-
lent amount will be issued in Europe.
The Presidents message to Con-
gress was as follows:
"The present disturbances in Eu-
rope, with the consequent interruption
Of transportation facilities, the in
crease of living expenses. coupled with
the difficulty of obtaining money from
this country, have placed large num-
ber of American citizens temporarily
or permanently resident in Europe in
a serious situation and have made it
necessary for the United States to
provide relief and transportation to
the United States or to places Of
safety.
1.-THE situation also has thrown on
our diplomatic and consular officers
an enormous burden in caring for the
interests of Americans in the dis
turbed areas and makes it necessary
to provide for greatly increased ex-
penses.
"In view Of the exigency Of the stu
alton as above outlined, l recommend
the immediate passage by Congress Of
an act appropriating $250,000, or as
much thereof as may be necessary, to
be placed at the disposal Of the Pres
ident, for the relief, protection and
transportation Of American citizens
for personal services and for other ex.
penses which may be incurred in con-
nection with or growing out of the
existing disturbance in Europe"
Use Of United States warship to
carry to Europe $3,50O,000 in gold for
the relief of stranded American tour

ers.

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

One OF the most helpful agencies In
the promotion of broad public intelligence
Is free library, whose volumes shall be
available at all times for both OLD ana
young The State Of Vermont has made
1t possible for every town in the State
no matter how small to secure free
public library, yet there are no less than
l1fty-six towns in the Green Mountain
State which have made absolutely no pro-
vision in this direction.
The approach Of the annual town cleo
tons makes timely a consideration OF
the steps which will enable towns to
remedy this effect in their educational
equipment The law provided that towns
may include in the warnings for their an
nual meetings propositions for the cleo
ton of a board of five library trustees
and instruct them to apply to the state
board Of library commissioners for state
| aid and to see what sum the town will
appropriate for library. The amounts
which towns may vote depends upon the
size of their grand lists,
The advantage resulting from the start
Ing Of a free library in a small town is
| increased by consideration of the fact
| that the mere beginning often suggests
to phianthropic minds the suoplementng
of public appropriati by private gifts
of either books or money or both. The
possession of a free library interests the
! boys and girls in their own community
and helps to make them more contented
than they might he otherwise, TO say
nothing of the direct educational infu-
cncc
The library commissioners of Vermont
have repeatedly called attention to the
fact that free libraries can he used to
splendid advantage in connection with the
public schools. and he made helpful ir
the extreme for those who have beer
unable to enjoy the advantages of full
school course.
Vermont has a right to he proud OF the
fact that it has over 200 free libraries
including those in some Of the villages
and it is to be hoped that at the coming
town meetings we may make it unan
