100000 GERMANS ON
MARCH TOWARD PARIS

BRUSSELS Aug. 8.-Four hundred thousand Ger
troops reported to be on their way from Axla
Chapele in two columns following the direct route to
ege and the second moving up the valley of the Vesdre
liver, which joins the MeuSe at Liege.
Eighty thousand of these re-enforcements have al
eady reached Ververs These troops said to be under
lie command of the German Crown Prince. Six pontoon
hrdges have been thrown across the Mouse south of Wise,
and at o'clock this morning the Kaisers troops began
heir advance.
Though subjected to heavy fire from Belgian guns,
hey successfully accomplished the passage of the river
and moved southwark, blowing up number of railroad
bridges.
1t would appear from this dispatch that the attack on
ege is only strategic to keep the Belgans con-
etrated at that point while the main body of the Germans
moved southwark for the real assault on the French
frontier defenSes in the march to Paris.

NAVAL FIGHT
OFF AMERICAN COAST
Naval Experts Think British VIII
Engage German Cruisers in
North Atlantic.

Although the reports of heavy firing
here and there along the Atlantic coast
have become more or less of joke
there is a genuine possibility that some
of them will develop into realities. &C.
cording to naval experts.
The German cruisers Dresden. karls-
ruhe, and Strassburg are in the NORM
Atlantic. supposedly not far from the
American coast. Many people nave
wondered why the Essex, the BRUSH
cruiser which has been conveying mer-
chant vessels, and any other BRUSH
ships in this part of the world, have not
sou9bt out the German warships to en-
gage them.
II is the opinion of naval strategists
here that the English admiralty Is not
overlooking the German cruisers. IL Is
noInted out that it is the business OF
the Essex to protect shipping. but that
in all Likelihood other English Warshlps
have been dispatched. probably from
the enormous force of British vessels In
home waters, to search out the German
cruisers No surprise would De causeu
to the naval experts here to learn at
any day that English warships. sent out
proba bly, from home waters some GAYS
ago had sought out the German
cruisers in West Atlantic waters.
1t is uncomfortable. say the experts
that the English have neglected 10 APP
ture or sink these cruisers, ana thua
remove from the ocean q menace 10
English shipping. The natural thing to
do as viewed here. would be to SEND
some OF the swiftest and most powerful
Of the British cruisers to hunt them
down and give them battle anu suC,'
cr,,isers nrobablv are now on their way.
