Twenty-Five Thousand Fighting Men
Are Digging Battle Trenches at
Front to Be Ready.
GERMANY PRESSES ADVANTAGE
Would Vanquish France Before Rus
sia is Ready for War.
CzAR MOVES VERY SLOWLY
Reported that IL VIII Take Him
Three Weeks to Mobilize the
Troops to BE Ready 10 Give
Battle.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The German
invasion of France has begun, ac-
eording to authentic information re-
ceived in London today, without, so
far as is known, a declaration OF
war having been made.
Two German forces are now con-
verging from the east in the direc-
ton Of the French capital. German
troops have crossed the French from
tier at a point near the village OF
Grey, between Nancy and Strass'
burg, and the German soldiers who
last night invaded the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, neutral territory be-
tween Belgium and Germany, are
reported as marching, on the French
fortified town OF Longwy.
The German force which came
into France near Grey, which if
forty miles from Nancy, is reported
to have been repulsed with heavy
losses, but this has not yet been con-
firmed.
Repeats History.
Apparently, the German army Is dupli-
eating the first movement of the Franco
Prussian war. 1t was on August 2 1870
forty-four years ago today, that the
French and Germans clashed in the first
battle of that war at Saarbrucken
where the prince imperial, under the or
ders of the emperor, received his famous
baptism of fire"
1t would appear today that Germany
is taking the fullest possible advantage
of its supposed superiority in rapid mobi-
lzation over France. The plan OF the
German emperor, according 10 military
observers here, is to vanquish OF at
tempt TO vanquish France in the interval
before Russia will be able TO create seri-
Gus trouble on it's northern frontier. II
is supposed that Russian mobilization
will take about three weeks.
Cross Near Grey.
One German force crossed the French
frontier near the village of Grey. be-
tween Nancy and Strassburg, and another
German detachment probably the Twen-
ty-ninth infantry, last night invaded the
grand duchy of Luxemburg, neutral terri
tory. between Belgium and Germany, and
continued lts lnarch on the ffehSh ioi'
fled town of Longwy. dispatch from
Brussels said there was good reason &c
believe this force later in the day en-
tered France.
The German force OF 10000 men which
came into France near Grey, which IL
forty miles from Nancy, is reported tc
have been repulsed with heavy losses. bu'
this has not yet been confirmed.
Apparently the German army is dupli'
eating the first movement of the Franco
Prussian war. II was on August Z, 1870

All Men Love a Good Story.

w. P. Eaton in American Maya
zine: AS a Ia grows older one Of
the facts he comes to realize is this:
That among the great realities Of life
is the hunger for romance, he love OF
fairy tale, the craving for fiction, and.
though it is perfectly true that only
as romance. as fiction, carries with IL
some merit Of philosophy, some depth
and ~soundneSs Of characterization,
only a. it is, in Matthew Arnold's oft
quoted phrase, "a criticism of life"
can it endure, nevertheless it is equal
~ true that the mere profession Of
realism in q play or novel will never
make il popular. 1t must be q story,
it must catch us up into an magma
tive world of it's own and have the
power to hold Us there, e~nthralled. II
a story is compounded OF the great
realities of our present day life, 1t will
succeed-by just SO far as it is a good
story. If it is a tale OF the vanished
Orient or q sheer fancy out OF fairy
land. again it win succeed only so ar
as il holds and e~ntertains us.
In other words. the drama Is q form
of the larger art of fiction 1t is not
essay, nor tract nor sermon nor socio-
logical report. and the first laws il
must follow are the laws OF fiction.
Sermon or essay or tract must be
brought in. by the way, as deductions
following logically from the outcome
of the story, the fate OF the characters.
Now. the point Of this probably
platitudinous remark is here: To
make q good story takes a kind of
genius. whatever the material: and TO
make q good story out of b common,
everyday life about us, TO lift an
audience up into an imaginative world,
requires an exceptional genius indeed.
To do it, the playwright must not
only be an unusually capable story
teller. but he must know b life he
writes about intimately, and he must
have thought about 1T deeply. Not
