Austria Says the British Lie.

London, Aug. l5.-The Exchange Tele.
graphs Rome correspondent sends the
outline of an official communication
from the Vienna government to Rome
notifying the Italian government OF
Great Britain's declaration of war on
Austria. The Austrian note SAYS:
"Austrias war against Servia, an in.
dependent state. and for cause which
did not affect international politics, can.
not be considered as the cause for the
present European war"
Great Britain's note to Austria, the
statement continues, fails TO point out
the fact that Austria was obliged to de-
clare war against Russia because the
hitter mobilization threatened Austria.
1t is denied that Austria sent troops to
the frontier, a fact the statement saws
which France already knew, from the
Austrian ambassador.

Said to Be Overcoming Resistance

London, Aug. l5.-Pushing forward by
mere weight of numbers. the German
advance across Belgium is slowly but
steadily proceeding and soon must come
in contact with the allied armies which,
according to an official communication
from Brussels last night, are in battle

Tie Belgians in the outpost skirmish-

checks on the German forces; but on
the whole the German wing has kept on

rests that the first big battle viii be

TRACK WAS SLOW.
And Good Time Was Out of Question at
Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. l5.-Four
races, with an aggregate of Al horses,
were the card for the fourth day of the
local grand circuit meeting. Two of te
contests, the $1,000 Burdick hotel stake
for 2:l0 PAGERS and the 2:l2 pace, went
five and six heats respectively and were
gruelIing struggles. The 2;l6 trot purse
81 900 and the 2:l9 trot were won in
straight heats.
Interest centered in the 2;l0 pace with
IL horses including Peter Stevens and
King Couehman. King Couchman won
the first heat, the second going to Peter
Stevens. Then Carmelia took a heat,
but Peter Stevens had the class and cap
tured the fourth and fifth heats and the
race.
The time. 2:o5A, 2:O5A, 2soss4,
2:06la and 2:07h, was disappointing.
The track was bit slow and a breeze
hindered the horses in the getaway.
The 2:l2 pace drew Il horses. Frank
Patch won the second, third and sixth
heats and the race. Leila Patchen fin
ished first in the fourth and fifth, while
the first heat went 10 Grand Opera.
There were whipping finishes in practi-
cally every mile.

feat which tennis experts predict most
unlikely.
Tie Australasian victory was we'll
earned and without flaw, the team work
of the antipodeans being that Of master
racquet wielders who thoroughly under.
stald each others play and tactics, both
at not and in deep court. Although the
United States championships carried the
challengers into duece sets twice they
never could lift their game to the plane
where Brookes and WIding were unable
to check their rallies and crucial mo
ments. The older and more experienced
pair always had something in reserve
and their clock like team work discon-
certed even Mclaughlin IN the closing
set.
Recognizing that Bundy was the weak
er player Of the American pair, the chal
lengers directed their hardest volleys at
him.
Although he handled the lain of shots
in manner beyond tie expectations OF
the tennis association officials he was un-
able TO hold the veterans across the net
in check sufficiently to permit McLough
lin to secure a winning edge for the cup
defenders Mclaughlin, the conquerer
of Brookes in Thursdays games, played
desperately, covering long stretches of
net and court, but the effort told and
when the Australasians turned their
batteries Of smSshes and cuts on him
late in the match his game hrok' badly
and he netted or outed the ball in
manner that astonished the spectators.
The Americans tried eyry style of
game in their repertoire in an endeayor
to staye off defeat but without avail

vaders rushed to the net and cut off
every return, frequently leaving their
fat footed in their perplexity
as to where the ball would be placed.

distinct failure. Most Of Bundy's lifts |

The fire was discovered by several

one of those who discovered the fire, and
the alarm was soon given.
The firemen turned five streams of
water into the building, but not until
2 o'clock this morning was the fire ex-
tinguished. In that time water and
smoke went all through the Odd Eel
lows part of the Central block and par
tally through the part of the building
owned by Mrs. Carrie Stebbins, and
to a certain extent in the Metcalf block
adjoining, so that the occupants of the
latter building did not escape damage.
