LONDON, Aug. 9.--A dispatcf
from Rome to the Daily Mail says
report is current that Emperor
William has left Berlin in a motor
car for the Alsatian frontier.
The Daily Mails Rome cores
pondent adds that according to dis
patches from Basel, Switzerland
the Germans have evacuated SAINT
Ludwig, in Alsace, four miles 10 the
northwest of Basel. and that bat
tie is imminent on the Franco
Swiss frontier.
A dispatch to the Times from
Berne, Switzerland says 10000
Austrian troops have concentrated
near Basel, and that German and
French troops also are near the
Swiss frontier, so that a big battle
may occur at any time.
The foreign office has received a
telegram from the British vice con-
sui at Venice saying that the Austri-
an merchantmen, Isglad, which ar
rived at Venice Friday, reported a
strong Austrian fleet off Pola'
Austria, and that the lights in the
lighthouses Of the Austrian coast OF
the Adriatic had been extinguished'
German Loss serious.
PARIS, Aug. 9.-In French Of
ficial statement concerning the in
vasion of Alsace by French troops,
and the occupation of Altkirch and
Mulhausen, 1t is asserted that the
French losses were not excessive,
while those of the Germans were
very serious"
1t was nightfall on Friday when
the advance guard Of the French
brigade approached Altkirch, says
the official statement. The city was
well defended. and occupied by a
German brigade. The French began
the assault with ardor, a regiment
of infantry distinguishing itself in a
furious charge, shortly after which
the Germans retired in disorder.
French Pursue Germans In Darkness.
A regiment of French cavalry fol-
lowed the enemy, pursuing them In
the direction OF Wallheim and Tugo-
lischen, inflicting serious losses upon
them. A French colonei and seven
of his men were wounded.
Darkness permitted the Germans
to conceal themselves and the troops
OF France entered the city amid the
cheers of the people. All the win
dows of the houses were thrown
open, veterans embraced the French
soldiers, and a great shout re-
sounded.
At dawn Of day the advance guard
resumed it's march. The cavalry
charged patrols. and the march of
the entire brigade on Mulhausen
was begun. In the afternoon of Sat
urday the scouts found that numer-

Germany and Austria threaten Italy
with the declaration that il the latter
persists in its stand of neutrality they
will consider themselves free to de-
clare war and Austria will invade
Venetia and Lombardy.
LONDON, Aug. S.-(I1:3O p, m. }
England is waiting quietly and
confidently for naval and military
battles which all believe are impend-
ing. Except for the cries of news
boys calling war, extras, the move
ment of troops and an orderly DEM
onstration in front of Buckingham
palace this evening which again
brought the king and queen and the
prince of Wales out to bow their
thanks, London has assumed its
usual everyday appearance.
The rush to the banks for cur
rency came to an end with the issue
of small notes as did also the unusual
demand at the shops for provisions.
People are going about their work
as they did before the crisis arose,
stopping only to pick up reports Of
battles, most of which proved false.
There is some disappointment at the
success of the German cruisers,
Goeben and Breslau, in eluding the
British fleet in the Mediterranean,
which naval men describe as a piece
of splendid seamanship on the part
of the Germans.
Brings Some SOIace.
The seizure OF Togoland and the pene-
tration of Alsace by the French, together
with the strong opposition of the Belglans
to the German advance, brought some
consolation to Engllshmen, but 1t is to
the navy that England looks for big
events.
Berlin has been celebrating "the fall
of Liege," but reports from other quar-
ters indicate that German troops, having
failed TO take the fortresses by frontal
attack, are attempting to get around
them. This is a hazardous undertaking
as the Belgian guns cover the roads.
The appeal for funds which are being
raised IN England TO care tor the wives
and children Of those called to the colors
and those thrown out of work. and 10 care
for the sick and wounded, has aroused
an unprecedented response. and hundreds
OF thousands OF pounds have been sub
scribed, The prince of Wales fund has
already reached Ss,0OoOOO.
Die in Hospital.
Four British sailors and four German
prisoners, who were injured when the
cruiser Amphion was struck by a mine,
have died in hospital.
The American embassy has arranged
with the government to permit Americans
from Havre to land at Southampton,
although that is a closed port. This will
enable a large number of Americans who
have been held up in Normandy to come
TO England to get a steamer home. They
must, however, get certificate of citi-
zenship from the consul at Havre.

| LONDON, Aug. 9.-(Special Cablegram
to New York World and Omaha Bee.)-
| The newspapers print sppreclative edi.
toriala on President Wilson's otter Of
imediation. and are specially iaudatory
of 1t because II was made when he waf
beset by private grief.
'1t is with profound satisfaction" says
the Times, that the British people have
| taken note that the cause in which they
are fighting has the sympathy. virtually
the unqualified sympathy, OF their Amer
lean kinsmen. The United States govern
ment itself has OF course proclaimed Of
| ficial neutrality.
| -tIt is the only first class power Of the
western world that can maintain an at
titude OF even comparative detachment
| toward the combatants. As such there
may be reserved for the president of the
United States a role not unlike that as
| sumed by President Roosevelt in the war
between Russia and Japan.
President Wilson, to whom at the mo-
ment the sympathy of the whole British
people is extended in his private sorrow,
has indeed already intimated his willing
ness to act in the interest of European
peace whenever occasion presents itself
That time is distant. There is much stern
work to be done before any government
is likely to avail itself of his proffered
services"
Germany Threatens America.
The editorial closes as follows:
What they (the Americans are now
beginning to appreciate is that the rise
of Germany to the power and influence
hitherto enjoyed by us would be inmical
to American interests in the Caribbean
and In South America and the Pacific,
and menace to the position and free
dom Of the United States as world
power.
1T may even be that to greater ex-
tent than they yet imagine their neutral
ity depends on the ultimate victory of
Great Britain and her friends"
President Wilson is one Of the very
few heads OF states at the present time"
an editorial In the Daily News says. to
ward whom his fellow citizens have rea-
son to feel warm gratitude. Even in the
midst OF his own troubles, II would be
churlish not to give some expression to
the sympathy which men OF good will
everywhere must feel for him in his heavy
sorrow.
Europe Deaf Now.
"He wrote his offer OF mediation from
the bedside OF his dying wife II has
fallen for the time, as II was bound 10
fall, on deaf ears in warning Europe.
Not every man can thus completely sub
ordinate his private griefs to the service

The boss Of Tammany hall Is not sup

The essence of being boss is to be
mysterious about it. The boss makes

Claims are exceedingly difficult to
arrive at in this campaign because OF
the unusual conditions surrounding il.
There is a great lack Of warmth and
local color. The European war
crowded the campaign OH the front

sources of revenue. The moneyed men
are neutral as between Glynn and
