JUVENILE OFFENDERS,
BOYS Before the Police Court to
Answer Charge of Unlawful
Assembly.

There was but one case before the
Police Court this morning, that of a
number of little boys, who had been
summoned to appear to answer the
charge of gathering in front of the
residence of woman on South Lee
street. According to the assertion
of the complainant, she and other
members Of her family were inces-
sanity annoyed throughout the day
and part of the night by the youngs-
ters, who preferred the sidewalk in
front of her home to any other part
of the neighborhood for play
ground. She had appealed to the po-
lice, who had scattered the urchins
occasionally, but they reappeared as
the officer left.
The parents of the children had ap-
peared to answer for them, and upon
giving assurance that they would
keep away from the woman's house
in the future, the charge was dis
missed.
The examination of charges
against children is one. of the most
vexatious that come before the Po-
lice Court. Those who make COM
plant have just cause to do so, yet
children under certain age cannot
be dealt with; hence the obligation
is laid upon parents to prevent them
from annoying neighbors. Judge
Crutchfeld, of Richmond. several
months ago, held the parents respon-
sible for their children when turn
ed loose in the streets, and on one
occasion levied fines Of ten dollars
upon those who allowed their chill
dren to appear in the streets with toy
guns.

Said to Have Been Driven
Back by Overwhelming
Force of Germans.
BATTLE IN PROGRESS
Waterloo Centre Of Eighty-Mile Bat
tie Front-Allied Armies Now
Facing the Invaders.

Paris. August 11.--The war office
this afternoon issued an official state
ment announcing that the French
have been compelled to evacuate Mu-
elhausen, in Alsace.
The announcement states that the
army operating against Neu Brelsach
was driven back and that an over
whelming German army 5ushed the
attack back upon Muelhausen, the
French retiring to the outskirts,
where they are now making a stand.
A general battle is now believed IN
progress.
This is the first news received of a
German victory. When Muelhausen
was taken by the French, it was
claimed by the Germans that they
had retired because the city was not
fortified.
Today a dispatch from Rome tell
ing of the situation in Germany an
nounces that the retirement was in
pursuance of prearranged plans of
the German general staff, and indica-
ted that another forward movement
was about to commence.
The admission in Paris that the
French evacuated Muelhausen indi-
Gates that this movement was sue
cessful.
With Waterloo as a center of an
eighty-mile battle 'front.' the German
army of invasion and the allied arm
les of Belgium. France and England
are moving together today.
Everything seems set for the open

sufficiently to disclose great body
Of German infantry and supporting
artillery moving through Tonges,

artillery from Lille have passed

ITALY WANTS ALBANIA.
Relieved Country is TO be Drawn into
European War.

London. August 11.-ltaIy's entry
into the general European war is mo-
montarily expected. Special dispat-
cbes from Durazzo say that Italy is
casting covetous eyes on Albania,
and her seizure of that new country
is expected.
The conditions in the Albanian cap
ital are desperate. Native troops
are unpaid, and there is no money IN
The treasury. Practically the only
troops in Durazzo are the interna-
tional dctachments from Italy and
France. sent there when Albania was
proclaimed an independent princlpali-
fv. to enforce order, 1t is expected
that the French troops will shortly be
withdrawn for use in the war. This
would leave the Italians in complete
control.
If Italy should seize Albania she
would immediately be drawn into the
European war. The little country has
long been coveted by Scrvia and Mon
tcncgro. 1t was established as 4
separate entity under the rule OF
Prince William Of Weld following the
