ALLIES MOVE ON GERMANS.
General Advance In both Fast and

LoNDoN, Aug. l6-Thc military eX-

to the Indications a general advance Of
the allies against the Germans has
begun both IN the East and in the West
The Russians already are in East Prus-
ga and Gaicia and 100000 more of
them arc nearly ready for an advance

The 7imrs expert does not expect
that the RUSSIAN advance Will BE- rapid,

lie long before the movements of the
Russian army will hccume most import

The writer considers the general attl-

facilitate the offensive movement
against Lorraine, which considering
the manner IN which the Bavarians

Concerns United states.

OF nearer concern 10 the United
States, however, is what Japan may
choose to do in the Pacific. Germany
has three groups OF islands in the
Pacific. She shares the Samoas with
the United States and has considerable
holdings In the Caroline and Pelew
Islands, the latter two groups being
on line between Hawaii and the
Philippines There is not the slightest
doubt here that Japan could take all
these island possessions from Germany
with the greatest ease. The only ques-
ton IL whether or not she cares to ex-
tend her possessions in the opposite d.
rection from her chief interests-Corea,
Manchuria and China.
The United States now has salts
factory chain OF coaling stations and
possible naval bases from San Fran
cisco and Panama to the Philippines.
The taking OF the German south Pacific
island possessions by japan would ad-
vance that empire nearly halfway
across the Pacific and give her positions
adjacent to those staked out by the
United States.

There is little doubt at this hour
that a considerable force of German

which is now engaged with the forts at
Liege There is poss biNty that they
are German troops who were engaged
during the week at Tirlemont, Diest,
IIasselt and Hesbaye and that they
were sent forward to divert the atten
ton of the Belgian army and draw
the Belgians of the road to Brussels
via Huy, Hannut and Jodoigne.
While this was being done another
division could advance along this road
with very little hindrance. In this event
1t is presumed that the Germans who
are now advancing are doing 80 in ac-
cordance with this prearranged plan.
The force which Is now believed to be
advancing would pass south OF Louvain.
Sounds resembling those made by
artillery in action We're audible in
Brussels tonight. The War ONCE issued
an official statement that these explo.
sions were caused by the destruction Of
bridges by Belgian engineers as pre-.
cautionary measure.
II is reported from a reliable but
unofficial source that in the event of
the Germans entering Brussels the Gov
eminent will remove to Antwerp. En-
trenchments are now being thrown up
about Brussels. This was admitted
officially tonight but It was explained
that this was precaution against the
possible arrival Of stray cavalry. The
official statement says the construction
OF the entertainments is "a measure OF
policy, but not measure OF war"
An official statement issued to-day

Statements such as these, coming
