TOBE YET UNTAKEN

Brussels, Aug. 19-The sound of
heavy cannonading is getting nearer
to Brussels. Signs point to big bat
tie between the Belgians and Germans
east and southeast of the capital.
From the incessant roar of artillery,
and tie conclusion, which is plainly
felt here, both sides nave their big
guns in action.
The advance guard of the German
army, which left Huyon, on the Meuse,
to march upon the capital by way Of
Jodoine, is reported to be engaged in
battle with the Belgians southeast Of
Brussels. The Belgians have thrown
up earthworks in the path of the Ger
man army and, supported by artillery,
the invaders are bombarding them.

ITALIANS AROUSED
AGAINST GERMANS
(By Brixton D'Allaine)

Rome, Aug. 19.-Italian hatred of
Austria is being manifested by anti
German demonstrations through Italy,
and teavy pressure is being brought
to bear on the government to demand
an explanation for the massing of Aus
trian troops on the Italian frontier.
Such demand would be preliminary
to declaration that a state of war
between the countries exists, and this
is expected to come in the near fu-
ture.
The Pope is still confined to his bed,

The Union Oil Company of Califor-

in the industrial section of Calipatria
and will make this town the distribu-
ting point for the north end of the
valley.
They will build storage tanks, work
to start very shortly, and they are also
arranging with the Southern Pacific
to build spur tracks in to their prop
erty so they will be able to take their
oil ears right up to their storage
tanks.
The company will use automobile
trucks to distribute their product
and rom their preparations they evil
IDENTIFY expect to handle big business
from this point.
The coming of this company to Cali
patria is another strong indication of
the faith that big business has in the
growth and development of this new
North End town. The industrial sec
tion already presents an activity that
would do credit to town many times

FRENCH GAINING IN
ALSACE-LORRAINE

Paris, Aug. 19.-The occupation of
Saarburg and Pfalsburg by the French
troops was announced today. The Ger
man troops WHICH occupied these towns
have fallen back toward Zabaren, at
the entrance to the pass through the
Vosges mountains. Both Saarburg
and Pfalsburg lie on the railway line
running westward from Strassburg to
the French frontier.
The French war Office announces
that the campaign in Alsace-Lorraine
is proceeding successfully. The state
ment says:
"The German troops are falling
back to Zabaren, with the evident in
tention of defending the pass which
leads to Strassburg. Our troops are
displaying great gallantry as they
continue to press forward upon the
enemy. The result of conflicts where
the Germans have shown resistance
has shown the superiority of our ar
tillery. The spirit Of the French ar
my has exhibited deeper loyalty and
patriotism than that of the enemy"
