DA Y'S DEVELOPMENTS
IN EUROPEAN WAR

London Aug. 8.-Al eyes were turned today
toward Belgium where the unexpected stand made by
the Belgian army against German advance guard
has earned praise in all quarters
The authorities here have taken the greatest pre-
caution to prevent the leakage of information as to
military and naval movements, but indications were
seen in the Communicating OF large liners and the
stoppage OF the crosschannel passenger traffic. that
British expedltionary force probably would soon de-
part The possible destination Of this expedition
could not be ascertaned and the report from Paris
nouncing that the landing of British troops had
evoked enthusiasm carefully hid the place of their
barkation President Poincare also gave out the
in his message to King Albert of Belgium that French
troops were shedding their blood with the Belgans on
the battle field today.
The fighting around Liege, altho regarded in mill
tary circles as important is considered as merely
opening movement in the campaign, the plan Of which
has been kept well hidden by both German and French
commanders-in-chief
No hint has yet been given as to the position Of the
bulk Of the twenty-four German army corps or the
twenty-one French army corps. It is known that
eral OF the German corps near the Russian from
tier The organization of other corps from the i'm
mense body Of reserves must have occurred since the
mobilization. These probably have taken the places
in interior fortified cities Of the soldiers of the active
army who are, it is assumed now preparing to make
their first dash at the enemy.
It is pointed out by military men that any de-
cisive offensive movement by the German or French
army viii involve hundreds Of thousands Of men on.

Reports from many quarters record further cap
lures Of former merchant vessels, sailing under the
German flag while the presence of contact mines even
in neutral waters was shown in today's wreck of
Norwegian steamer at Zuider Zee the Netherlands
What is happening in the African colonies of Ger
many, France, Belgium and Great Britain is not
known, news from these places appear to have been
suppressed probably owing to the occupation Of the
cables by government communication.

Berlin, Aug S.-The German news
papers complain about the diplomatic
maneuvers carried out to make Ger

vest. They add that German women in

Pekin, China, Aug. 8.-According to
reports Of refugees reaching here from
Using Tau, the German cruisers are all

The various governments, including
the British. French and Japanese. have
agreed to the moratorium, which the
Chinese government has declared for

that this cessation of foreign payments
should enable the Chinese government
to pay the troops regularly from the

At the conclusion Of Huerta's
speech, the freed men we're furnished
with funds and sent to all parts of
Mexico TO spread the propaganda Of
the dictator.
Huerta has seized the saloons in
the capital IN order that he may fur
nish his soldiers with a liberal sup
ply of liquor In hope of keeping them
loyal to him, according to a message
received here by the captain of the
French cruiser Conde. Earlier re-
ports that the people OF the capital
were turning against the dictator are
also borne out I'm this message, which
declares Huerta Is believed TO have
made all arrangements for flight In
case of an outbreak.
