LONDON. Aug. H. Active steps
tor the release of Americans detained
in Germany were taken today when a
committee Of Americans headed by
DR.. John II. Finley, commissioner of

the German government to make it
possible for all Americans in Germany

The government had ruled that all for

GERMANS INVEST NAMUR.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 12-Two corps of
German troops. numbering $4,000 men
are reported to have invested Namur,
the strongly fortified Belgian city at
the confluence of the river Meuse and
Sambre. The Sixth German army
corps heads the investing force, which
has heavy artillery.
The foregoing dispatch indicates
that the German forces sent into the
interior of Belgium were dispatched
to protect the movement of the main
army against Namur, and toward the
French frontier. 1t is unlikely that
the Germans will storm Namur, but
probably will attempt to pass around
it as they did at Liege after investing
it. Namur has already sustained nu-
merous sieges. It's citadel is suppos-
ed to be on the site of Caesars camp.
The city is 36 miles southeast of Brus-
sells and has population of about
$4,000.

rplications, all government officials
abroad have been warned to deal only

this manner we hope to bring back to
this country, within the next month,
all Americans who wish to return"
Secretary Garrison added that the
question Of a declaration of war by
Italy after some of the Italian ships
carrying Americans had cleared from
italian ports had been considered by
the state department, but officials here
believe that Americans would be safe
because the opposing nations would
not care to waste the services of war
