GRAVE CRISIS IN FRANCE
BY Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The French
and English north armies on the Sam
bre and Meuse rivers have been sur
rounded by German troops on all sides
as a result of the latest fighting, says
a wireless from Berlin today to the
German embassy. The message adds
that the French east army has been
partly driven to the south. This has
prevented communication between the
French east and north armies, while
all the German armies are In contact
from Cambria through Upper Alsace.
The German cavalry has advanced to
Ostend."
THE appearance of Zeppelin at
Antwerp" the message continues, has
caused a panic in London.
Reports to Berlin from Copenha-
gen and Stockholm announce there is
a grave crisis in the French govern
ment. The Spanish ambassador at
Vienna has called the situation In
France very serious.
"The Danish colony in Berlin has
warned foreigners to beware of ficti-
tious news.
"a meeting to-day of all foreign
colonies in Berlin was held at which
a resolution was passed thanking the
German government for the kind
treatment of foreigners and to ex-
press admiration for the wonderful
spirit and enthusiasm shown by the
German people.
Civilians of the Belgian town of
Louvain made a perfidious attack on
German troops while fighting. Lou
vain was punished by the destruction

els Church last night stood the Rev.
Daniel J. Carey. and while his pa
rishioners congratulated Father Carey
with phrases such as How natural
you look" it might have been used
in a different sense. In fact, Father
Carey had some pretty thrilling ex-
periences across the water. one of
which included living a couple of
weeks on nothing much but bread and
water.
The rector got back to America on
the Chicago last Monday and went to
Bridgeport Conn. his birthplace. Mr..
and Mrs Bernard f. Schmidt and two
sons were the hosts of Father Carey
on the trip. At the reception last
night Mr. Schmidt was given min
iature wooden battleship. Parishion-
ers of Father Carey presented him
with a purse. "I don't know how
much is in it," said the returned priest
iocularly but by its weight I'd like to
have had about half of what it con-
tains when I was in France"
The Schmidts were compelled to
leave their car in the charge of the

They could get no insurance and have
little hopes of seeing it again.

Mayor and Local Guards
Have Returned to Lille
By Associated Press

London, Aug. 2S, 4.O3 A. M.-The
correspondent of the Daily News tele-
graphing from Turcoing says:
II visited Lille Wednesday, I ex-
Ipected to find 1T occupied by Germans
as it was made an open town and
abandoned by the mayor and the local
guards two days ago. Not So how
ever. I found the mayor and the local
guards had returned, that the trains
and business had been resumed and
that the authorities were awaiting the
arrival of the allied troops whom they
expected shortly.
The meaning of this is difficult to
say from here unless 1t indicates that
the allied armies have again moved
forward VIGOROUSLY. But this belief
is difficult in view of the reports OF
hard fighting at Pont-a- Marco, Mar
chiennes and Cysoing, which would
seem to indicate that the Germans
have advanced.
"Turcong is quiet and peaceful, al
though Sunday was very near the CEN
ter of a storm. The same may be said
of the other peaceful places through
which / passed to-day, such as Cour-
trai and Roebai.
