LONDON, Aug. 7.-Germany is already
paying the price that staggers human
ity." British military experts admit that
they are astounded over the terrible
slaughter of the Germans attacking

that the Kaiser's "men of iron" will be
unable to penetrate the French frontier
and that he will be on the defensive
from the outset of the war. A British
naval victory at this time, the HIGH of
fcials say, will mark the beginning Of
the end of the war, and one is looked
for soon.
Although Lord Churchill denies that
the government has any official news of
