Business Men Happy.
The Republicans report of big
gains in the reservoir, was received
with a great deal of satisfaction by
Phoenix business men, who were told
about it. The presence of a good re-
serve of water back of the dam al
ways makes business good in Phoe-
nix. The status of the reservoir is
then, a good deal like the price OF
copper in the interest of business

The widest reports were circu-

were informed that the reservoir was
was rapidly filling up. that the dam
was backing up a lake of hugest
dimensions. So highly colored were
some of the reports, some became
skeptical and would not believe any
figures. Readers are assured, how
ever, that The Republicans data is
correct, as it was secured direct from
the observer at Roosevelt, last even

good production it is, too. That it
is one Of the leading pictures ever
put out in America, the reviews of
the showing by the great New York

The Man Of the Hour.

Manager Mace has a splendid pic

American plays dealing with political
life in the crowded American city

city and the gangs try to work him
for their own benefit, but he cir
cumvents them with his rugged
honesty and sterling qualities, beat

D|RICIBLE IS RIDDLED
BY BELGIAN BULLETS

Antwerp, Aug. 26.--Germany sacri-
feed one of her latest type of Zeppe-
lin dirigibles in an attempt to destroy
the royal palace with high explosives.
Although the entire city was ter
ror stricken at the appearance of the
monster of the air. the gunners at
Hemixem, six miles away, succeeding
in demolishing it, sending it to earth
with the entire crew of twenty-five
men, including the officer and com
mandant. This restored confidence
in Antwerp.
1t is considered unlikely there
would be any further visitations here,
as the force of Zeppelins available for
war work has been materially re-
duced
The Zeppelin circled the palace
grounds, dropping three bombs. They
missed the palace, but demolished two
houses nearby, killing several per.
sons.

GERMANS TELL OF
CAPTURE OF NAMUR

Berlin, Aug. 26.-(Wireless by way
OF Nauen, Germany, and Sayville, l.
L)-An official announcement made
public here says that the city of Ma
mure and five of it's forts have been
captured by the Germans.
The bombardment of the four other
forts continues and their fall seems
imminent
The Notifications of Namur' and
Liege formed the finest example OF
the work of the famous Belgian mill
tary engineer, General Henri Brial
mont, whose reputation was world
wide.
The defensive works of Namui
were not so strong as those of Liege
but the position of the city was much
better for military purposes.
All the forts are protected by hard
ened steel domes, generally eight ot
them In each fort, and the artillery
consisting of modern heavy disap
pearing guns, Is very powerful.

BRITAIN TO SUPPLY
TWO MILLION men

Washington, Aug. 26.-That Great
Britain realizes the magnitude of the
struggle in which it is engaged Is
shown by information brought here
by prominent parsonage.
According to this man, who had
access in London to secrets OF the
British government and war Office,
Lord Kitchener, the actual minister OF
war, is preparing to place 100000
British soldiers in the field.
This enormous number OF men will
be obtained largely in England, Scot
land and Ireland, but the overseas
colonies will be expected to contrib
ute their quota. Canada recently be-
gan negotiations for the Transports
tion OF $4,000 men to England. and
thence to the continent. Other troops
will be drawn from the Dominion.
Australia also Is sending troops.
Others will follow as soon as they
are organized.

MANY OF THEM WOUNDED
Fusitives From Belgium Pouring into
Holland.

Maostricht, Holland Aug 26.--Fu,
gitives from Belgium continue to ar
rive here. Many OF them are slightly
wounded The total number of
these fugitives is now nearly 1000
and they are being cared for In sheds
at Calvarienberg. Those who have
made their way here during the past
few days are mostly from the vicinity
of Malines.
There has arrived also large mum.
ber of Belgian farmers who consider
1t no longer safe to stay on their
lands. They say the treatment OF Bel
gians by the Germans has been none
too good, but the opinion prevails
here that this treatment Is due to
overt acts on the part of the peasants.

ADDITIONAL TROOPS
ARE GOING FORWARD
All Hope That War Would Come
to Speedy Conclusion Is
Abandoned.

Lonndon, Aug. 26.-Admission by
the war office that Namur has fallen
has ended all hopes in England that
the war will come to a speedy con-
clusion.
1t is now apparent that England
will be compelled to send every avail
able man if the invasion of France is
to be stopped. Additional troops are
being sent forward as fast as trans
ports can be outfitted.
All the London and provincial news.
papers are demanding the government
explain the fall of Namur. They
point out that it had been regarded
as stronger than Liege, which is still
holding out.
War officials, however, will not dis
cuss it, saying ii was held as long as
possible and then the allied army fell
back to the cover of the second de-
tense line.
1t is admitted that the British cas-
ualties are enormous, although no
statement of the exact number is
forthcoming.
Both Sides Lose Heavily.
The losses in both armies are said
to be appalling" and officials say
that when the actual figures are re-
vealed they will 'startle the world.
Discussing the fall of Namur the
military experts of the newspapers
declare they are mystified at it's early
fall. The Times expert says:
1T was defended by works stronger
than those at Liege and had a far
stronger garrison. The possession OF
Namur was as vital for Germany as
for the allies and it was a fine stroke
for the Germans to have rushed the
place under the eyes of the allies.
THE retreat from the Sambre inn
plies retreat from the Meuse and
an open door for the advance of the
German army corps, which has been
marching from Cologne to the south.

the German emperor in response to a
personal invitation.
II don't believe the war will last
long" DIR. Butler said. II believe the
cessation of hostilities will come from
a shortage of food supplies rather
than from decisive victories on the
battlefield. If war continues a few
weeks longer victor and vanquished ID
will find a common lot awaiting them
in the foreboding shadow of famine.

GOrding to Official AdviCes
From Berlin.

London, Aug. 26.-With the city OF

Brussels, fallen before the German
advance, five of the Namur forts cap
tured by the Germans and the cap
ture of the remaining four forts inn
minent, German arms, by forcing the
allied armies back to the vicinity of
the first line of French Notifications,
the movement of large numbers OF
German troops to the French frontier,
with Paris as the objective
In Paris the official announcement
was made that the German offensive
movement in the north, which was
stopped Monday, appears to have
been resumed, but that the enemy is
being held back by a French army,
acting In conjunction with an Eng
lish army and Belgian army.
The armies of the allies surprised
the enemy and drove back their adj
vance detachments," says the an
nouncement. The allies have gone
beyond Malines The Belgian army
came from Antwerp"
Fall of Other Forts imminent.
A wireless message from Berlin by
way of Nauen, Germany, and Sayville,
of nj =
made in Berlin that the city of Ma
mur and five of it's forts have been
captured by the Germans, and that
bombardment of the four other forts
continues and their fall seems immi
nent. The English official war in
formation bureau announces that Ma
mur has fallen, but gives no details.
A reverse to the forces of the allies
generally is admitted by the English
and French newspapers, which say
the days news is decidedly bad"
Plainly expressing disappointment
at the failure of their forces they de-
clare the retrograde movement toward
the line of strong defensive works
near the frontier has been carried out
in good order. 1t is assured that the
allies are falling back on their first
line of defensive works.
A concentric advance of all the Ger
man armies toward Paris seems
probable. in view of official adyices
from Berlin received by the German
embassy in Washington.
Fighting at Many Points.
An Ostend dispatch to the London
Daily Express says $4,000 Germans
have been surrounded between Cour-
trai and Anseghem. In other parts
OF Belgium fighting is in progress.
Another Ostend report says 100000
Germans have attacked Malines, thir-
teen miles from Antwerp. Charleroi
also has been the scene of hot fight
ing, this time between French and
German troops. Brussels has been
left by the main body OF the German
troops, which has proceeded on its
way towards the French frontier.
Russian reports tell US of the ad-
vance of Russian armies In Eastern
Prussia and the surprisingly rapid
movement of the troops. Russian Of
ficials, however, caution the allies
against feeling too great elation over
the preliminary successes, pointing
out that the German territory is
strongly fortified along the line of the
Russian advance.
The Nish correspondent of the Reu-
ter's agency says the Twenty
the Eleventh. the One Hundred and
Second and Twenty-eighth Austrian
regiments have been wiped out by the
Servians, who are pursuing the Aus
trians along their whole front.
