SHOE OUTLOOK OPTIMISTIC.
Prices surely WIN Go Up, but Not
Until After Fall.

Joseph Berberich. a shoe merchant,
believes that shoes are going to be
high-possibly in height-but surely
in price. Mr.. Berberich does not an
ticipate a change in prices for several
months. however.
Despite the fact that seven-eighths
of the caIfskIn used in the manufacture
of mems shoes comes from Austria"
Mr.. Berberich said yesterday. and the
supply has been cut OF completely since
the beginning of the war. there is no
reason for high prices at present, be-
cause most stocks were purchased be-
fore the war affected prices, and early
buyers of fall shoes should not have
to pay high prices"

FLANK MENACED
Belgian Artillery in Secure
Position, Says British
Embassy Here.
RESUME OF WAR ISSUED
Asserts Eege Forts Are Still Intact and
Teuton Advance Has Been
Seriously Delayed.

The taking OF Brussels by the German
forces was foreshadowed late yesterday.
when the British Embassy made public
the following cablegram received offici-
ally from London:
THE Belgian field army being based
on Antwerp has fallen back in that d.
Tection, in order to cover its communica-
ton with that fortress. In anticipation
that this might become necessary. the
seat OF government had already been
transferred from Brussels to Antwerp.
As Brussels Is an undefended city and
no longer the seat of government, the
fact that the Germans may have occu-
pied It is not OF great Importance. More
over. the present position of the Belgian
field army is a menace to the right flank
OF any further German advance west

Resume Issued.
general resume OF the war situa-
ton from the British point of view
was issued at the embassy earlier in
the day. as follows:
Since the declaration of war the
fleet has been responsible for the
safety of eXpeditionary force which
completed its Decentralization in France
on August Is, which was effected in
perfect order and without a casualty.
Work of the navy in the Atlantic
and elsewhere in safeguarding the
trade routes is best exemplified by the
fact that at LlOyd's yesterday the war
risks rates fell to 40 shillIngs per cent
for almost any voyages Of British ves
sells. whereas the rate 10 insure
freights of corn paid by steamers from
the United States to a British port is
80 shillings per cent.
The German feet outside the Baltic
is confined to the harbor. German sea-
borne commerce is paralyzed.
The only casualty is the loss Of the
light cruiser Amphion. One German
submarine has been sunk in the North
Sea-
I.ieEe Forts "StiII Intact"
THE military position is as follows:
The German forces at present extend
from north OF neighborhOod OF Basic.
through Liege to a point in Belgium TO
the east OF Antwerp and near the Dutch
frontier. The outstanding feature Of the
operations up to the present has been
the delay caused to the contemplated
German offensive move across the Mouse
by the defense of Liege. where the forts
are still intact This has permitted the
orderly mobilization and concentration
Of the French army and British eXpe-
dictionary forces. German troops have
now crossed the Mouse. both above and
below Liege. and are gaining some
ground slowly westward. but their ad-
vanced cavalry has been continually
checked by the Belgians.
In the SOUTH where the German
armies are apparently on the defensive,
the French are advancing on a long line
into Alsace and Lorraine a great extent
OF which they now occupy. after driving
back in several engagements the troops
