there has been more or less trouble ever

GERMAN SOLDIERS
GAINING GROUND
The Main Body of Her Combined
Armies Probably Already Across
the River Meuse.

NEW YORK, August 19-The sun has |
a special despatch from London which |
says that in spite of the veil of censorship
which, so far as lies within the power Of
the war departments of all the leading
nations is complete, two important facts
stand out in the news.
The first is that the tactical scheme of
the German war office has been made
plain. That tactical scheme is, as has
been suspected, the juncture of the armies
of the Moselle and the Meuse to pierce
the centre and separate the French from
the English and Belgians.
Secondly, in pursuance of this scheme
Germany, it now Is certain, has in spite
of vagrant reports here and there of re-
verses, gained ground slowly, painfully but
continuously until now the main body,
her combined armies of the Meuse and
Mosele, are across the River Meuse.
The two battle lines, which now face
each other. stretch from Louvain, the Bel
gian army headquarters, 10 miles east OF
Brussels, to Ottgnies, on the Dyle, 20
miles to the south of Louvain, and on to
Namur, 20 miles further to the southeast.
Only the most fragmentary dispatches
of what is going on along that 4O-miIe
battle line have been allowed to come
through the hands of the censor, One Of
these, coming from the Belgian office,
says merely that the German advance on
Brussels has been checked and that the
city Is considered safe
The exact positions which the Germans
and the allies are occupying are hidden
by the lack of definite news from the
front. 1t is believed certain from the
statements of the British war office that
the British troops have landed safely, and
that at least part of this force Is lined
up with the Belgians and the French who
with their backs TO Brussels. are fighting
to hold the German advance The centre
of the line of the allies Is believed to be
somewhere in the vicinity of Ottignies, t.
the east of the field of Waterloo.
German cavalry patrols are reported il
the vicinity of Antwerp, to the north o
Brussels to which the Belgian govern
ment has been temporarily removed
There is nothing, however, in the brie
dispatches to indicate that this cavalr,
movement is anything more than
scouting expedition possibly intended t
divert attention from the main centre u
attack between Louvain and Namur
From the main line OF action comes tn
report that "A German column marcmn
north from the vicinity of Namur, ha
been caught between column of Frenc
cavalry and body of Belgian infantr,
The report says that the Germans lo'
heavily in the engagement, the locatio
of which is not given.
4 report said that four ZeppeIins Ia
been destroyed in the latest fighting
Belgium.

KEENE, \. H., August 10.
The price of sugar in the retail mar
ket has been rising rapidly i'll this city
during the past week. Today the retail
merchants are asking from 5 to s IL
cents pound, whereas week ago they
were selling for TO IL cents per
pound. There is every indication that
the price will continue to rise.
Some of the merchants who were in
tervieWed on Tuesday claim that they
We're unable to get sugar in any large
quantity and were unable to supply
their trade in any large quantity, while
others had enough to supply their reg
ular trade. In addition to the advance
on sugar caused by the war, it Is
claimed by some that part Of the in
creased advance in price is due to the
canning season and because people are
buying in large quantities on account
Of the rise.
Hundreds of persons who usually
have bought in 10 and 25pouud lots
have just been purchasing in 100 and
200 pound lots. Some retailers believe
that the price will eventually rise to
II cents q pound, which is exactly d0tt
bic the price of four weeks ago.

OTHER PLACES FEEL
RISE IN SUGAR
In Bellows Falls, Keene and Rutland
the Price Has Doubled in Few
Weeks.
Especial to The Reformer.)

BELLUWS FAILS, august -.
Ten days ago sugar was selling here
at five cents a pound, or 20 pounds for
81. Yesterday consumers were paying
eight cents pound in all the stores, or
if they buy dollar s worth are getting
l3 pounds. One week ago last Saturday
one store was selling . pounds for 81,
but yesterdays IS its charge was equal
to that of the other stores. The price
has advanced steadily since Aug. s. At
the present figure, however, orders are
numerous and indications are that
those who can afford to do so are buy
ing enough to last several weeks, fear
ing u still further advance. The reason
generally ascribed here for the increase
is the European war
