GERMANS ARE TYRYING TO
SWING THEIR RIGHT WING
TOWARDS BRUSSELS
AUSTRIA IS INVADED
French Claim to Have Again De
feated the Germans in
the East.

LONDON, Aug 15.-Gl:20 p. mD-
Communication with the armies has
virtually come to an end while COM
manders in Belgium and along the
lranCo-Gcrman frontier are prepar-
ing for = trial of strength which prom
iscs to develop the greatest battle in
history.
It is known that the Germans are
attempting to swing their right around
towards Brussels and Antwerp, but
with what success nobody outside the
hcld of operations knows. The same
applies to the attack on the Lioge
forts, one Of which, Puntlsse, Is es-
sental to German success, as 1t IS
nearest to the bridge over the Meuse,
which the invaders are using to bring
troops into Belgium.
French Claim Victory
Silence envelopes the operations in
other parts Of the little country which
Is playing such a big and unexpected
part in the war on the Alsatian
frontier the French claim another vic
tory In the capture Of Saalcs Pass in
the Nosgcs mountains. Here French
official reports say the Germans again
lost heavily by their tactics Of close
formation 10 which from all accounts
they are adhcring.
TWO other small countries Servia
and Montenegro, are playing import
ant roles for, if accounts can be be-
licved, they not only are Offering
strong resistance TO Austria, but actu-
ally have invaded herzegovina, where
they are certain to be assisted by the
friendly population This will divert
some Of the Austrian forces from the
French and Russian borders.
Russians are appearing in greater
strength in eastern Prussia and Aus
trian Galcia and are busy destroying
railways and otherwise hamperiug the
movements of Germans and Austriaus.
Germany and Austria are silent re-
garding the movements of their troops
so there is really only one side of the
picture given,
AerCplanes are being used every
where TO ascertain positions of tho
opposing forces and according to re-
ports, are doing splendid service in
striking contrast to the feeble at
tempts of their predecessors, captive
balloons.
No definite statement has been is
sued with regard to Japan. but Italy
Is maintaining strict neutrality
