The report was given some eredence

BIGGEST BATTLE
IN MODERN TIMES
IS NOW IMPENDING
Armies of Warning Foes Now
Being Concentrated in
Belgium.
MOVEMENTS OF BRITISH
TROOPS ARE KEPT SECRET

United Press Correspondent.

LONDON, Aug. I0.-Alsace and
Belgium menopolized the attention of
the world today. In Belgium. the
lines are being rapidly drawn for the
greatest battle of modern times AL
though. the censorship is rigid. il is
known that a British and French
army is mobilizing to aid the Bel
gians to retain Namur. Meanwhile
there is lighting along the entire
frontier of Lorraine, and the French
are operating in force against the
Germans in Southern Alsace, with
so far uninterrupted success.
The announcement that the battle
fleet had sunk a German submarine
has definitely located the British
| fleet. 1t must Re snr1ev-hat off the
German base at Helgoland That
the British feet is so close TO the
German coast that the enemy can
utilize their defense subna rines
means the German war fleet Is bot
tied up and that the British feet is
now constantly subject to attack by
torpedo boats, destroyers and sub
marines.
Troop Movements secret.
Not a single word is permitted to
leak regarding the movements of the
British troops. but 1t is known that
many are now on the continent 9th
ers are en- route in transport fleets
escorted by the reserve warships.
That they will be first heard from
when the clash with the Germans in
supporting the French and Belgians
begins Is believed certain here The
first big battle of the war is expected
to take place in the vicinity of Namur
in Belgium. 1t is there that the Brit
ich and ErnnoI,
trating, and 1t is there the major
portion of the Belgian army is he'd.
Brussels dispatches today agree
that the Germans at Liege have halt
ed their advance, presumably to
await the arrival of reinforcements
and badly needed supplies. The
French foreign office declares that
the French and Belgian cavalry have
driven back the Germans so that
their advance toward Brussels has
been completely checked.
Serious Fighting Reported.
Paris also reports serious fighting
IN Luxemberg, where it is said the
Germans are present in strength, but
so far have been unable to cross the
French frontier. Skirmishing of a
severe nature has been in progress
near the Luxembourg French from
llti lot Inc last IoTly-elSnl nOurS,
but claims of French victories are
not confirmed.
The French second mobilization
division, which is operating in AL
SAGE, is ENGAGED with the Germans
near Neu Breisach, but all details of
this fighting are refused by the cen
sor. 1t is believed, however that
the German defence here will be par
ticelarly stubborn as there was
plenty of time to concentrate troops
here and the fortifications of Neu
Breisach are very strong.

WAR TAX WILL Be
LEVIED, THOUGH
WE ARE AT PEACE
European Crisis Has Cut Down
Tariff Revenue So That Emer-
gency Measure Is Needed.

Special to the Evening star.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1O.-Although
the United states is at peace. legis-
lative leaders admitted levying Of a
war tax is inevitable. Prospects
that the European conflict will be
prolonged and that it win materially
reduce for years to come the imports
of this country make it necessary to
adopt emergency measures for the
raising of revenue. Majority Leader
Underwood, author of the new tariff
law, admits that the laying off in the
imports from Europe will be such
that Congress must begin to think OF
other means of bringing in money.
Mr. Underwood said today that no
del mite plan has been considered, but
the impression in legislative circles
is that a stamp tax will be imposed.
as in the Spanish-American war.
Whiskey, beer and tobacco certainly,
and possibly checks, mortgages and
other legal documents, will most
likely be penalized for revenue-rais-
ing purposes
"There is no immediate need of
passing an emergency taxation bill"
said Mr.. Underwood. for there is a
good surplus in the treasury now.
But before the session ends it is
practically certain We will have to
pass some sort of an emergency
measure. Our imports necessarily
will be greatly reduced by the war,
but we could run along probably for
three or four months without feeling
the direct effect of the falling Off.
Mr. Underwood called attention to
the old law permitting the sale Of
Panama canal bonds. but the Demo-
cratic party is against bond issues
when they can be avoided, and al
though about $250, 1000, 600 of such
bonds might be sold, it is understood
that a war tax" Is preferred by the
Democratic leaders

ropean war Will reduce duties about

Decorative Desserts That Appeal To Eye As We'll As To- Palate Most Welcome Just Now Present Month Is Most Difficult in the Year to Cater or Family-Cold Dishes Are More Acceptable

Pretty and decorative desserts that appeal to the eye as we'll as to the pal ate are the most welcome in summer, especially in August, which is con- s1dered by many housekeepers the most difficult month of the year to cater for the family. Cold dishes are more acceptable than hot buildings and pies, though the latter prove rather the exception, if they are just warm, filled with fresh fruit in sea- son and served with chilled whipped cream. A few suggestions as to the possibilities in fruit, cream and jelly may be welcomed at this time.
 Watermelon Baskets.
 Take a small. round watermelon and remove two sections, so that handle is left when the melon is hol- lowed out. Remove with small potato scoop the firm, pink flesh, placing the balls in a white enamel basin set in cracked ice: pour over the melon one pint of sparkling Mo- selle wine and place in the icebox. Hollow out the melon, leaving an inch of the white under the handle, which is about two inches wide. Fill with cracked ice and place in the icebox. When ready to serve empty the water from the shell and make bed of cracked ice and lay the pink fruit on it; then set the melon on a round platter covered with grape leaves and serve with fork and spoon on dessert plates.
