A GENERAL Survey OF
THE WAR

The week of Aug. II opens with the
opposing forces along the French from
| tier getting constantly closer. The
French have taken the offensive in
Alsace, while in Luxembourg and Bel
gium and elsewhere along the line the
Germans are crowding close to the
Belgians, French and English allies,
who await the development of the main
German ASSAULTS
On the oth3 p6rtions of the line,
which stretches from Switzerland in
northwesterly direction for nearly
300 miles, the Germans were the ag.
gressors and during the week made
numerous and costly attempts to de-
yelop the position of the allied French,
Belgian and English armies, which
had effected a junction on Belgian
soil. The most notable of these col.
lisions were at Haenel, Tongres, Long
wy, Diest and Tirlemont. The Ger
man loss in these operations is said
to have been heavy, but no reliable
figures are obtainable. 1t became ap.
parent, however, that one of the o0-
jective points of the Germans is the
Belgian capital, Brussels, which they
doubtless hope to capture.
In the naval division of the war
there have been numerous reports of
fighting, but no authoritative news
has been given out. The English
home fleet is still on guard in the
North sea and the Mediterranean
fleet is opposed to be operating in
the Adriatic, looking for the Austrian
fleet, which lies near Trieste. The
German ru,sers Goeben and Breslau
fled to the Dardanelles and the Turk
ish government announces it has pur.
chased them for $20,0000O0. This sub
terfuge Is not relished by Italy and
Greece, which have taken steps to
call Turkey to account.
A report has come from unconfrmed
sources in Italy tha the French fleet
came up suddenly on the Austrian
warships in the Adriatic sea and sank
four of the emperor's battleships, in
Guiding Austria's greatest and most
powerful fighting vessel, the Zrinyi.
The Austrian fleet was bombarding the
city of Antivari when the Frenchmen
came along, says the report, and were
caught mapping.
The most significant event of the
week was the ultimatum delivered by
Japan to Germany, which forecasts a
declaration of war upon Germany by
the japanese in the near future. Ja-
pan has made peremptory demand
that Germany withdraw all her war
ships from the Far East and deliver
up possession of the concession Of
Kiao Chau in China, an enterprise
upon which Germany has expended
millions. There is no expectation that
Germany will accede to the demand
and as the time limit on the ultima
tum expires at noon on aug. %, war

ward.
Two knotty problems resulting from
the war have been put up to Presi-
dent Wilson, who has them under ad-
visement. The first is the protest Of
Germany against the censorship ey.
ercised over radio messages. The Sec.
ond is the request of j. Z. Morgan 6
Co., bankers, to learn whether or not
proposed loan to France Of several
hundred millions Of dollars would be
considered advisable by the admins
tration. 1t is understood the preai'
dent does not approve Of the pro-
posed loan.

Declares That Nations in Europe Have

900 Worth of Supplies.

New York.-European nations have
placed contracts in the United States
for more than $1,000 900 worth OF
supplies since the beginning OF the
war, according to Charles NJ. Schwab.
president of the Bethlehem Steel cor
poration. who returned here Wednes-
day from England aboard the steam

that for this reason the United States
was now at the threshold OF the
greatest period of prosperity it has
seen in many years"
Mr.. Schwab. who sailed from Eng
land less than month ago, admitted
that the object of his trip was to can.
Gel provisional contracts he had made
with the Britis.i government Tor the
building of submarines. This he has
done, he said, after having been ad.
vised by Secretary of State Bryan that
FOR an American concern to supply
submarines to any of the belligerentI
nations would be a violation both in
letter and in spirit of the neutrality
OF the United States.
Inc contracts, which he had given
up, he said, were worth more than
slo.OO0.O00, but he had been able to
secure while abroad contracts for the
supply of various munitions OF war.
although he declined to say with what
nation they had been negotiated.
The next big problem that the
United States will have to face" said
Mr.. Schwab, will be the development
OF transportation facilities in order
to handle tremendous increase in
manufacturing and commercial enter
prises.
The period Of prosperity that pre-
dicted on my last return from Europe
Is about on us. The contracts placed
with American manufacturing con-
