German-AmeriCan Alliance
 Appeals to United States

Washington, Aug. 1S.-An appeal that the government of the United States plead with Japan to refrain from carrying the European war into the far east was received by President Wilson today from the National Ger man-American Alliance. The presi- dent was thanked for his offer of me- diation to the warning nations of Eu- rope. ,"
 We now appeal to the president and to congress-" said the petition, ito plead with the government of Japan through her ambassador at Washington in the name of humanity. civilization and universal peace to re- frain from carrying the war into the far east by, demanding that Germany abandon all her political and com mercial interests in China.
 Instead of throwing the fire brand of war into the far east, Japan should be fair and submit any griev- ances she has against Germany or against any other nation to The Hague peace tribunal, where, no doubt, other questions of the present conflict will be submitted
 The petition was signed by c. J. Hexamer, president of the National German n American Alliance.

Serious Engagement Between German, Belgian an 1 French Troops Being Fought South of Bsses Russia l Completes Mobilization of Her Forces
British Expeditionary Army
 Lands on French Shores

London, Aug. IT (midnight, de- layed by censor) ).-The most impor- tant revelation of the day has been that of the landing of a British ex- peditionary army on the shores Of France. Everybody in England has known for two weeks that a large army is crossing the channel. The troops had been assembled at differ ent bases, one of the largest contin- gents embarking at Dublin. Many other regiments sailed from Liver pool, while still others took ship at East Bourne, Southampton and other ports along the coast of the English channel
 The great canvas camps at the mili tary stations in England were struck only when it was known definitely that the fotilla of transports convey ing the troops had finished the over sea movement under the escort of strong squadrons of warships.
 The transportation of the soldiers lasted several days, and during that time not a mention of the expedition was permitted in the newspapers here. Even now the strength of the expedition, the names of the regi- ments composing the contingents and the ports at which they landed are not allowed to be made public.
 It is known, however, that large proportion of the best troops of the British regular army are now on con- tinental soil. The reception of the British soldiers everywhere in France was enthusiastic. The officers and men of the two armies fraternized warmly
 It is pointed out in authoritative circles here that the withdrawal of the Belgian government from Brus- sels to Antwerp may mean that the fighting in Belgium is drawing closer to the capital or it may be merely a precautionary measure.
 Now that the three allied armies are working together on a coherent campaign scheme the policy of se- crecy has been extended to Belgium, and as a fountain of picturesque news that country has suddenly dried up.
 The allied armies have decided for the present to bar all war correspon- dents from accompanying the armies, but it is thought the ban may be raised later when the military opera tions are we'll under way.
 The official news bureau says not a single casualty occurred during the authorization, transportation and de- barkation of the men and stores of the British expeditionary force, and the greatest precision.

HELD IN $l,0O0 BONDS
 ON FORGERY CHARGES
Peter Hedburg, Once Pros porous Business Man,
 Says He Is Guilty.

Once prosperous painter, Peter Hedberg is today held in 5000 bonds for the September term of the superior court on the serious charge of forgery. The wheels of destiny have revolved backward for Hedberg and although he was once well fixed, financially, it is said that he is now down and out. The accused man hung his head in court this morning and pleaded guilty to the two charges lodged against him.
 The specific charges against He'd forged a promissory note on Carlson with the name of P. Hedberg & Son. This note was payable in three months. The second charge against the one time painter is that on June 3, he forged another note, this one on J. August Carlson, for $100, pay able in two months. He again en- dorsed the paper with the name of P. Hedberg & Son. Both notes were discounted by the New Britain Trust company and resulted in the investi- gdLlOI WHICH enueu Wltn the arrest of Hedberg by Sergeant Kelly last night.
 Treasurer Vibberts, of the Trust company, identified the notes in court. When asked if he wanted to make a statement Hedberg simply said: All have to say is that l did all I am charged with" Judge Mes kill found probable cause and bound him over to the superior court in bonds of $1,000. |
 Hedberg was formerly a well-to-do painter but a succession of financial reverses and liberal draughts of the liquid that befuddles as well as cheers are the cause of his downfall.
 Today, it is said, it has developed that MT. Hedberg has been making practise during the past few months of forging notes. Last week Charles M. Hultgren, of Arch street, was notified by the New Britain Trust company that one of his notes had been protested. He recalled signing no note so in company with Attorney Emil J. Danberg he visited the bank and found that one of his notes for s15O had been cleverly forged. Close inspection however, showed that the was not those of MT. Hultgren. Later MT Hedberg. it Is said. admitted his guilt and began to pay up the amount and at the time of his arrest had already paid back $60.
