The answer to the game OF yesterday
was that Ray Caldwell, who has stopped
was too much for the Nationals.
The big twirler, who has been one Of
the real sensations of the year, stopped
the Nationals just as he did other clubs.
and it was Jack Bentley's unfortunate
luck to be picked as the pawn. Bentley
was hit hard at times. and was finally
relieved by Harry HARPER, the other
member of the budding Grlffithian
southpaw crop.
When you get six hits in nine in

work in an offensive way. That's what
the Nationals did yesterday.
There has been an insistent demand

he did not disappoint. While he lost,
he showed enough class at times to JUS

ALL GERMANS
TO LEAVE BELGIUM

Berlin, Aug. TO-, via London, 7 A. NJ.
The Brussels representative of the
Official News Agency here telegraphs
from Goch that martial war was de-
clared in Belgium Saturday and that
all Germans have been ordered to
leave the country as soon as possible.
The correspondent says that what
happened in Belgium during the past
several days surpasses the imagina-
ton. After war was declared, mobs
demolished all business places which
either belonged to Germans or ham
died German goods. Every escutcheon
bearing allusion to Germany was re-
moved and anyone looking like a
German was attacked in the streets or
made the object of suspicion or of es-
pionage.
The most improbable anti German
reports were spread, the corresponds MT
says, one of which was that German
soldiers had tried to murder General
Leman, the governor of Liege.
Thousands of Germans have left
Belgium since Thursday under the pro-
lection of the American consul for
Holland. They were also chivalrously
protected by the German officers.

the North German Lloyd Liner Kron-

Essex was taking her to Hamilton,
Bermuda. The sailors said a wireless
message last Saturday from the Essex

by the Narragansett, told of the cap
ture.
North German Lloyd Line officials

said, had been received from the liner,

Paris, Aug. 10.-2.45 A M.-How five
young Frenchmen were shot and kill
ed in Germany is graphically describ-
ed in an affidavit of Jean Demonbynes,
a returned student, who declares fur
thermore that two Italians travelling in
the same train met the like fate.
The first Frenchman to be killed had
shouted: Long live Franco" at Lor-
rach, a town of Baden, where he was
awaiting a train. According to the
affidavit, he was Immediately arrest
ed, placed against the wall of the sta
ton and shot
Three other French youths who
were among the small crowd detained
at Lorrach by the Germans. protested
at the killing and were told to shut
their mouths. They were then led to
the place where the first Frenchman
was shot, group of officers fired at
them and they fell. Women in the
vicinity wept, the affidavit recites,

Another Frenchman who shouted
Assassin was likewise shot, the af-

were killed on the road between VALID

was killed in an argument over the
closing of a train window and the
other because he objected to a Ger
man sitting on him.

Drops to 10000

Washington, Aug 1O.-Americans in Eu-
rope have nearly stopped clamoring to re-
turn home. according to today's reports
to the state department from Ambassa-
dor Page at London. The ambassador ca
bled that although steamers sailing Sat
urday for the United States carried 5000
Americans, since the cruisers started
across the Atlantic and banks began ad-
vancing cash on demand, many of those
who at first besieged the embassy with
appeals for transportation now express
willingness to remain indefinitely.
Secretary Garrison estimated tonight
that the number of Americans stranded
in Europe who really desire to return
home has dropped to 10000. Mr.. Garrison
now doubts whether it will be necessary
to send any vessels to bring these people
to the United States as commercial lines
appear to be. able to take care of them
all
Encouraging reports came tonight from
Italy. Mediterranean steamers were said
to be preparing to resume traffic and
Americans who desire transportation
were assured of accommodations within
the next few days. One vessel is to sail
from Barcelona Wednesday or Thursday
and another is expected to leave Genoa

ment in the condition of Americans in
