JOY IN BERLIN.
The Defeat of the British
Brings Fierce ExultatiOn.
Would Rather Whip England
Than Capture Paris.

Berlin, Aug. 28.-It is difficult to
describe the fierce exultation Of all
classes in Berlin over t. e news Of the
British reverses at Maubeuge, as an
nounced officially from army head
quarters today.
The German resentment against
England for having injected herself
into this conflict" and for calling in
Japan, a yellow race. is so deep that
news Of the surrender of the British
army on the continent would be re-
ceived with more joy and satisfaction
in Berlin than tidings of the fall OF
Paris.
1t is reported here today that a
portion of the British fore is at pres
eEt shut up in Maubeuge. The Berlin
populace, inspired by the announce
ment from military headquarters that
the iron ring" is making it's way
around the French, British and Bel
gan forces from Cambria to the Vos-
ges, exhibits little concern regarding
the situation on the eastern frontier
Of Germany. 1t has full confidence
that the task on the west line will be
speedily fi..ished and that the victori-
Gus German armies will then make
sharp work of clearing G-rman soil
of the Russians.

London, Aug. 2S.-The incorpora-

into Lord Kitchener's new army is the
latest proposal to be made in Eng
land. Both the war office and the
football association have received 1t
with considerable enthusiasm.
The football association has -nem-
bership of 7,C0c trained athletes who,
it is suggested. might be better en-
ployed in charging the Germans on
the battlefield than charging each
other on the football field. The cOun-
Gil of the association is to hold a
meeting on Monday to decide If these
200 men shall be released from their
present engagements and the football
field turned into drill grounds.
