German Forces Kill
 People of Tierlmont

London, Aug. 20, 520 a. m.-A de- spatch to the Times from Brussels says:
 "The Germans in strong force, mostly cavalry and artillery. entered Tierlmont early this afternoon Clues day)
 "The big guns shelled the place while the cavalry played at war by at- tacking the flying, panic stricken populace, shooting and sticking them at random.
 About five miles from the town two trains were made up and fully 1000 refugees got away. So swift and terrible had been the onslaught of the Germans that in flight for their lives men, women and children left every thing behind. Never have I seen such a picture of woe as that pre- scented by group composed of a easant woman and five children, standing bewildered in the square cry ing as though their hearts would break The woman said:
 ""They shot my husband before my eyes and trampled two of my children tu death.'"

after point was taken and re-taken by one side or the other.
 He gives the following story of the fighting at the village of Babon- viller, as told by the villagers:
 'The village was occupied by a bat talionN of chasseurs as a covering force and was preparing for defense by nu- merous trenches. The battle began on August 10. The Germans bombarded the village. compelling the chasseurs to va cate it. The latter retired on coles and afterward took up a posi- ticn on Donan ridge.
 After nightfall the Germans in- creased the bombardment and the in- ha bitants sought refuge in cellars, as a continuous rain of shells kept wrecking the houses and setting them afire.
 "The chasseurs retired, defending every house foot by foot and making the Germans feel their fire. The sun rose on a village in ruins. It had been under bombardment fifteen hours. When the Germans entered they fired first on all the windows and down loopholes into the cellars. No corner was spared

Large German Forces
 Cross River Mouse

London, Aug. 20, 5:55 A. M.-An official communication issued at Paris last night states that large German forces are crossing the Mouse between Liege and Namur. The statement continues:
 'The French army is making rapid advances on the Seiller river and at the end of the day had reached Delme on one side of the river and Morhange on the other"
 despatch to the Times from Paris says that the first point at which the Germans crossed the French frontier was Carey y-sur-Vesouse Since then there has been continued fighting in that region until a day or two ago, when 1t ended in the victorious ad- vance of the French forces, who drove the enemy back. across the frontier east of hunsville. The correspendent says that the >laconic reports ,'of the French minister of war give little idea of the desperate struggle that occurred around the handful of villages scat tered along the French border.

SOLEMN REQUIEM MASS
 FOR LATE POPE PLUS X
To Be Said in All Catholic Churches in State Next
 Wednesday.

Hartford, Aug. 20.-Bishop John J. Milan issued statement today on the death of Pope Plus x, in which an- nouncement was made that solemn high mass of requiem for the repose of the late pontiffs soul would be celebrated in all the churches of the diocese Wednesday. August 26. The statement says that Bishop Milan prefers the churches be not draped as the tribute of kneeling thousands at the communion rail is more desirable than fixed signs of grief. The state ment follows:
 .'Our great pontiff, Plus X, is dead. The gentle shepherd whose life-pur- pose was to restore all things in Christ has passed away without sec ing the realization of his hope. The death bed of the vicar of Christ, who longed for peace, was disturbed by the noise of warning nations. The les son of his life is an inspiration to greater constancy in the service of God, so that if not in the world, at least in our hearts, Christ may reign supreme. May he rest in peace!
 Tn all the churches of this diocese a solemn mass of requiem for the re- pose of his soul will be celebrated next Wednesday, August 26. 1t is not our wish that the churches be draped. Better than outward signs of mourn ing will be the tribute of kneeling thousands at the communion rail to offer praise for him who was called the Pope of the Holy Eucharist.
 We exhort the faithful to pray that worthy successor may be chosen to continue the work of the gentle Plus, and that the announce ment of his elevation may be made to a world in which strife is ended and Christian nations are at peace. The clergy are asked to add to the present orato imperato the prayer Pro eligendo summo pontifice.'
 John J. Milan, bishop of Hartford"

HEAR FROM LOCAL
 TOURISTS ABROAD
pr. Travis and Miss Mary E. Goodrich Tell Miss Anna Rockwell of
 Plans for Sailing.

Miss Anna c. Rockwell librarian at
 the New Britain Institute, is in receipt
 of letters from pr. Katherine Travis and Miss Mary E. Goodrich, librarian
 at the State Normal school in this city,
 both of whom were in different parts
 of Europe when the big conflict broke
 out. The writers state that they have
 suffered some inconvenience but that
 they can now see their ways clear to- returning home in a very short while.
 Miss Goodrich who is in Hereford ! England, says that she has engaged
 passage on the American liner St. Paul, which sails from Plymouth on| Wednesday of next week She ex-| poets to arrive in New Britain early in September. pr. Travis was in Lon.
 don when she wrote to Miss Rockwell and, judging from her letter, she i6| probably on her way to America now.
 She had engaged passage on a Ham, burg American liner, but when the company which owned the boat cam celled her sailing, she was obliged to make arrangements to sail on another steamer, which left Glasgow soon af- ter. She had been in attendance at the big medical congress in London, which Dr. Fromcn attended. In her letter, Miss Goodrich states that the town of Hereford was filled with troops at the time of writing.
 No one knew where they were bound for though, she said, owing to the very strict censorship regarding the movements of the forces.

Cannon's Roar Drawing Near to Brussels

Brussels, Aug. IS. (Tuesday) Via. London, Aug, 20, 6:3O a. m.--The war eventually is rapidly drawing near this city. Already. four hospitals are filled with wounded soldiers. Ger man aeroplanes have been seen scout ing above the city after sundown.
 German cavalry is reported fre- auently in the region on the farther side of the forest of Seignes which Hanks the city. This forest is the point from which the attack is most likely to come, in the opinion of many. Net work of trenches has been thrown up along the woods. The trenches are occupied by burghers and a few civil guards.
 The forest of Seignes, which is to the southeast of Brussels extends in the direction of Wavre. where severe fighting has been reported.
 Trustworthy reports have just been received of an engagement near Char leroi. It is claimed by the Belgians that six thousand Germans were killed in this battle.
 that no news of the war is going out of the city except by courier.
 The Belgian papers because of the rigid censorship have ceased to be sources of war news. They are pub fishing chiefly local matters uncon- nected with the war The mails also are being held up.
 An order has been issued prohibit ing the granting of further military posses to newspapermen or others to go outside the city.
 The populace does not appear un- usually excited over the prospect of fighting in their streets. The crowds seem placid and the people are at- tending to their business as usual

COPY SENT TO SECRETARY BRYAl
German Seaboard Commerce Is All most Paralyzed and Kaiser's F1ccI Outside the Baltic Is Confined d

 Describes Military Position.
 "The military position is as fol ' lows: German forces at present ex1 tend from north of neighborhood of Basic through Lieee to point m Belgium to the east of Antwerp and near the Dutch frontier.

WESTPORT WRECK
 INQUIRY RESUMED
Madigan's Testimony Places Blame for Trolley Tragedy Upon Mo-
 tOrman of Express Car.

torman of Express Car.
 Bridgeport, Aug. 2o.-The inquest into the westport trolley collision was resumed here today by Coroner John J. Phelan. Motorrnan Lane of the car that followed the express car up the hill from westport, and John E. Madigan, an employe of the Connecticut company. were the wit nesses at the early session. Madi- gan's testimony was regarded as very important in that it tended to place the blame for the fatal collision upon the motorman of the express car. He said he was standing near the express car when it started from Westport and did not see the motorman turn out the light. Previous witnesses had testified that the express motorman had turned the signal.
 John E. Lane, motorman of the car behind the express car, said he had allowed the express to go ahead of him. and that as he passed the signal he heard some one say some thing about the lights, but paid no attention to the remark.
 c. c. Elwell of the public utility commission was present and asked the men several questions. The cor oner and MT. Elwell went to Westport this afternoon. to make tour of the switch boxes and will continue the inquiry late this afternoon, when the chief of the Westport car barns will be called upon for statement con- corning the position of the lights as the cars left Westport.

 Direction of Antwerp

London, Aug. 20, 2:30 A. M.-The Brussels correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, telegra phing Tuesday night says:
 The Germans seem to be moving in the direction of Antwerp. Any Belgian backward movement in that direction may therefore, be explained as strategic maneuvering which points to the early discontinue of the enemy"
