Days Smnnayy
 or What's KMOWN Of Eurobe,s War

Such news as has come from Bel gium and the borders of France and Luxembure indicate what may be an extensive German movement not less than forty miles in width. The Ger mans have taken possession of Ton eres ten miles north of Liese and it is reported that they have also occupied longwy on French territory near the Luxembure border, forty miles south west of Liege. Though the fighting at Liege continues with the Beigians oc- cupying at least some of the forts in the vicinity the situation there appears 10 be unchanged.
 The French and German troops are facing each other north of Verdun. There have been numerous clashes of minor nature, probably preliminary to ar extensive engagement in the near future. The respective positions of tho Germans and Belgians before Lieee are apparently unchanged.
 The German forces are making care ful reconnaissances in the district of { Hesbaye, which is believed to mean that Germany will take the offensive north Of Liege
 According to French reports, the Germans have been unsuccessful in their attempt to drive the French from their position outside of Mulhausen.
 The British war office informa aton bureau says that there is reason to be- lieve that the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau, for which the British and French warships were waiting, have taken refuge in the DardanelIes Clashes between the Austrans and 1 Russians so far have been of minor in, = portance.
 A Shanghai dispatch says that 4,50O Japanese have been embarked on transports there awaiting orders. Copenhagen dispatches announce that Russian mobilization will be com plete on August 21.
 r Germany has raised through the United States the question Of the right of Great Britain under the Hague con ventIon to interfere with the communi : cation by cable or telegraph of belIie erant with neutral country. The rep resentation of Germany has been for warded to Great Britain. The ques- ton Of the censorship by the govern | ment over German owned wireless sta tions has also been raised.
 1 The planting of mines by Germany in the North Sea where a British crui ser Was destroyed and where a liner narrowly escaped destruction has been ! followed by the planting of mines near it's own coasts by Great Britain, ren derine navigation of the North Sea ex tremeIy hazardous.
 The wreckage thrown upon the coas, near San Francisco is believed to be that of British warship, possibly the Canadian cruiser Rainbow, which may have encountered a German cruiser re ported the day before off the entrance to the Golden Gate.

GERMANS FEEL AWKWARONESS

Protest to the United States Against Conduct of Great Britain in Cutting Their Communication With the United States
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHI

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Secretary Bryan transmitted to Great Britain the formal representations made by Ger many on the subject of cable and wire less communication to and from neut- raI country. such as the United States. to the belligerent countries Germany sought permission to send code mes sages through London to the United States.
 As the American government acts as channel of communication in diplomatic dealings of one belligerent with any other, the message was transmitted to the British foreign office without con- ment bv Mr. Bryan. Should Great Britain continue to prevent Germany from sending cable messages through London to the United States, it is be- lieved Germany will make vigorous eff forts to have the United States remove it's censorship on the German owned wireless stations
 That the state department is con- siderng the relations between wire less, and cable communications as af- fected bv the neutral position of the United States in the present war, is admitted by MT Bryan. The Hague convention expressly states that it is not obligatory upon a neutral power to exercise censorship over either wire less or cable communications The official report to the state de- partment from Hamburg today cleared lup the last apprehension for the safety | of Americans in the German empire | with the exception of those special l cases which have been taken up by | Ambassador Gerard.

NORTHERN OPERATIONS
Turning Movement Indicated by Ger
 man Maneuvers.

BRUSSELS. Aug. 1-Hostilities began on Monday between the Ger man cavalry and Belgian cavalry outposts in the Hesbaye district. This district is to the west of Liege, north of the Meuse and forms part of the provinces of Liege, Limburg and Ma mur. The Germans have begun a systematic .econnoitering of Hesbaye iii order to discover the positions of the Belgian field army. Their cav airy patrols are followed by infantry detachments. On Sunday the Ger man cavalry passed the outskirts of Lixhe following a route to the south.
 They were evidently proceeding toward Hesbaye. Two hundred Ger man cavalry with quick firing guns have already reached Hainault, sev- enteen miles northeast of Liege. En- agreements have taken place, princi pally between Tiriemont and St Trond, half way between Ezemael and Gussenhaven. There have been other engagements near Tongres. The German cavalry is reported as every where repulsed with loss. These en- agreements are regarded as prelude to the German offensive movement tC the north of Liege. It is thought it may foreshadow big battle 1T two or three days.
 Six thousand German troops art reported to have seized the station of Landon, west of Liege. and tt have stopped a Brussels train. They permitted the passengers to go, bu destroyed the station, removed thu rails and drove out the railway em ployes. The passengers were com pelled to return on foot to Tirle mont.

Grim EUldence Of Am Enc0umtey
 Om The Pacifc

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 11-Flot- sam cast up on the south shore Of
 the Golden Gate and the presence of a German cruiser standing on and off outside the heads proved either that a British warship had cleared hastily for action or had been torn by an explosion. It has been defi
 nitely established that the British cruiser Rainbow had cleared for action when she left here on Satur day.
 The wreckage indicated that it had come from a British warship, the brass doorplates being the basis of identification The badly torn cOndi
 ton of the wood work and the ab-
 sence of hammer or chisel marks
 seemed the result of an explosion. but
 the proximity of the Rainbow and
 the fact that she had cleared for
 action has caused it to be believed that she met a German cruiser. The German cruiser standing off here was identified as the Leipzig by the American bark R. P. Raithe.
 | Word from the Canadian naval station at E,squimault said that the Rainbow is known to have cleared
 for action. Captain Gronbech of the
 life saving station near which the
 fragments were found remembered
 that about 2 o'clock in the morning the Rainbow laid to outside the har-
 Dor, just after passing out. She
 might have been stripping her hull of
 inflammable woodwork then. If there
 was an explosion it could not have
 been on board the Rainbow, for she
 was sighted last night off Cape Men docino 195 miles north of here. Those who clung to the explosion theory
 argued that the sloop of war Shear water might have been in trouble. 1 The only other British vessel on the | Pacific coast is the sloop of war Al gerine, last reported at MaZatlan. 1 The Clearwater left San Diego Au- gust 3. Captain R. P. Rither also re- ported he had passed mass of
 wreckage floating se'iral miles off Point Bonita, which it is believed was from the same vessel as that cast up
 on the beach south of the Golden
 Gate last night and today. Officials
 at Point Bonita life saving station reported no Wreckage had been
 washed ashore along the northern i beaches within several miles.

IT WAS NOT THE RAINBOW

OTTAWA. Aug. 1l-The Canadian cruiser Rainbow was sighted today off Vancouver island, it was stated tonight. This confirms the view held by naval officers that the wreckage thought to be that of a British war ship cast ashore on the California coast was not from the Rainbow. It may be from the British gunbOat Shearwater or the gunboat Algerine. which had been on the west coast of Mexico.
 Ottawa is informed that another German cruiser has appeared in the Pacific.
