THE War IN EUROPE
Large Movements Of Troops
Carefully Hidden.
CENSORSHIP IS STRICT
Japan Enters Contest Against
Germany In Orient.

Inc censorship OF European war
news is SO strict that little or
nothing is actually known in detail
of the important movements Of the
military and naval forces of the
several powers engaged in the
great conflict. Russia, Austria,
Germany and France allow no
newspaper correspondents with
their field armies. Newspapers in
England are not permitted to
publish any reports regarding the
movements Of military or naval
forces and all official reports,
letters, ETC., are rigidly censored.
A week ago all correspondents
were ordered to leave the army in
Belgium. This effectually pre-
cludes the possibility OF getting
important news in detail. How
ever, the reports from refugees,
official statements, ETC., give in a
vague manner the trend Of events
and indicate what may be taking
place behind the almost impenetra-
BILE veil of mystery.
The German army of the Meuse.
augmented by reinforcements, has
apparently pressed steadily on
past the Belgian forts at Liege
and on Aug. 18, was advancing
with "a front of SO miles, behind a
strong ca 1alry screen. Their
cavalry arrived Aug. ~ within 10
miles of the old battlefield at
! Waterloo. The Belgian govern
! ment officials, in alarm, left Brus-
sells and moved to Antwerp. The
French, British and Belgian allies
! have been massing their forces to
| check the German advance. Up
to the 18th, 100, 900 British soldiers
had been landed at Belgian and
French ports, with more to follow.
On that day an official statement
said no British troops had yet
suffered any casualties.
The central German army, or
the army of the Moselle,is advanc-
ing slowly with wide front on the
frontier of Luxemburg, where it is
opposed by the French under
Joffre with headquarters at Belfort.
Reports indicate that Russia
has about completed the mobiliza.
ton of over 2, 900, 900 men on the
German and Austrian frontiers,
and is holding 5000. 900 in reserve.
On Aug. 10, Japan issued an
ultimatum to Germany, demand
ing the withdrawal of German
warships from the Orient and
evacuation of kiau Chau, the
German stronghold in China
Japan enters the contest as an ally
of England, her intention being te
compel Germany to abandon e6,
900 square miles of territory or
Chinese soil.
The attitude of Turkey is being
watched carefully and Greece il
prepared to oppose any Turkish
aggression in Bulgaria.
The French fleet is reported t.
have sunk four Austrian battle
ships in naval battle in thu
Adriatic sea.

Tho Fireman Who FIincbcd.

We DO not recall any case IN the New
York Fire Department to compare with
that Of the London fireman who no
fused to obey an order on the ground
that tho task assigned TO him was too
dangerous, and whose dismissal from
the brigade Is now being fought by the
Union Of Corporat ton Workers. While
General BINoHAM was Commi ssioner
Of Police he found It necessary to dis
charge patrolman in disgrace for
pointed out that the precedents for
such action were happily few, n indeed
any was found.
Generally the difficulty Is not TO get
firemen and patrolmen into posts Of
danger, but TO restrain them to safety.
The honor roll Of hremen and police
men is long and constantly growing,
and a notable number Of the sacrifices
lions that might well have caused q
man Of good courage TO withhold him
self from danger without mourning any
charge Of weakness. This 10 the fact
Of every police and IRE organization.
The British constable, far more re-
str1cted IN the use Of truncheon and
pistol than tho American patrolman,
has a worldwide deserved reputation
for fearlessncss in the performance OF
his routine duties.
That towards do not get into the
police and fire services occasionally is
beyond belief, though the preliminary
training 10 which flrernen are sub
jected with us is calculated to weed out
the faint hearts. That those who sur
vive to wear the uniforms DO not last
long lie obvious. We suspect that off,
cial Intervention is not needed to get
rid of them. There are things done In
the ranks that wise commander Is
blind to, and voluntary" resignation
offers quick and easy escape from
duties incompatible with constant
thoughts Of avoiding danger.
