DOGS Of WAR
ARE LEASHEO
BY DIPLOMATS
STRATEGIsTS CANNOT ACCOUNT
FOR DELAY - IN STAGING BIG
BATTLES RIVALS BELIEVED TO
BE TESTING ENEMY.

Washington, Aug. 3.-With a has
tily drawn map of the theater of the
probable war in Europe before the
army strategists, people today rapid
ly scanned news of stirring events
that were taking place in Germany
and Russia and France. There was
a complete lack of official informa-
tion as American military attaches at
European embassies and legations are
: out of touch with the war department.
Experts express some surprise at
the comparatively slow beginning of
the German campaign. The American
war college had understood that so
perfectly had every detail of an often
sive campaign against both France
and Russia been worked out that
within twenty-four hours the declara-
tion of war or an order for mobiliza-
tion the first German battalions
would be many miles advanced across
both eastern and western boundaries
of the enemies country.
There has been no reports of bat
ties on a large scale, and consequent
ly the belief is expressed among
military men here that invisible wires
are holding back the dogs of war, and
that the full strength of military force
on all sides is being withheld while
statesmen and diplomatists are play
ing the last cards in the desperate
game of diplomacy in the hope now
not of averting general war, but of
obtaining individually such advanta-
ges as they can through delayed ac-
ton.
Campaign Plans Hidden.
After looking over available data of
the days operations, the strategists
unanimously were of the opinion that
the plans of campaign had not so far
unfolded as to admit of a guess as to
the real purpose of the great military
leaders. What has been done by the
German army in the east in the re-
ported invasion of Belgium is regard
ed as precautionary and calculated
rather. to prevent a possible quick
dash bN the French into the father
land than with the purpose of begin
ming a determined and progressive
campaign towards Paris.

Lorraine are looked on as feints to de-
velop the French strength in that
quarter. Military maps here disclose
large German military force in that
neighborhood. There appears to be
no less than three army divisions
within striking distance of the French
frontier on line less than 100 miles
in length.
If a general campaign had been
initiated there We're sufficient Ger

FRANCE.

Both the German and the allied forces in front of Paris seem to be hesitating while getting reinforce ments for a big battle. which is expected to begin soon. Some fight ing of a minor nature was carried on during the day, according to re ports received in London, in the vicinity of Compiegne. The town of Tmiens, 81 miles from Paris, was evacuated by the French and is now occupied by the Germans.
 Reports from Paris tell of the dropping of three bombs in the forti- fled town of Belfort, near the French and German border. The bombs did little damage.
 members of his cabinet have gone to Bordeaux, where the national affairs will be directed for the time being. The change was made to provide more safety for the executive de- partment of the nation.
 Bordeaux is said to be about 70 miles from the ocean and 2S4 miles from Paris.
 Another dispatch from Paris states that General Gallieni has been plac- ed in full charge of the troops surrounding the French capital.
 AUSTRIA.
 According to a dispatch from Vien- na, Austria, the Austrians were forced to evacuate Lemberg, the seat of government of the province of Galicia However, they have ral- lied and are making a determined attack on the Russians, the battle line extending many miles in length. One wing of the Austrian army is advancing toward Warsaw, in Po- land, Russia. It is reported that in the battle between the Austrians and the Russians the former have 5OO.-

G MANY.

That the Russians have been re- pulsed on German soil with a loss of about 100000 killed and wounded, is the almost incredible announcement made in Washington, D. C., by the German ambassador to the United States. From the same source comes the announce ment that 10000 Russians have been captured by the Germans.
 From Vienna, Austria, comes the announcement that fully 3,000,000 men are involved in big battle that is being fought between the Russians on the one side and the Germans and Austrians on the other side.
 Afternoon newspapers in London claim that fully 100000 volunteers have been recruited by Germany and sent to the front since the war started.

GER MANY.

A press dispatch from Basel, Switzerland, states that the Ger mans have abandoned, at least tenn porarily their attack on the French city of Belfort, toward which a large force of both German and Austrian troops had been marching, The report says that the reason for the withdrawal of the invading troops was that they were needed on the east to fight the Russians.
 In London has been received a re- port that the German armies in Prussia. Germany. have abandoned their plans of invading Russia. and are now simply preparing for self defense.
 FRANCE
 Invading German forces were checked by the allied troops not far from Paris, according o an an nouncement made at the British
