Washington, Sept. 1.-THE German
embassy received the following wire
less from Berlin.
Herr Helfferch, director OF the
Deutsche bank, after touring in Bel

Charleroi, are quite intact; Louvain
and Dinant are only partly destroyed
After the surrender Of Ghent a
German officer was insidously killed
and another wounded.
"The Russian cavalry burned from

there was no fighting in that district,
the splendid castle Of Count Mirbach,
the Russian parliamentarian."

BEAT The ALLIES BACK
Swept Like Tide Through Land;
Neglected the Enemy'S
Fallen Soldiers

London, Sept 1.-THE correspond
ent of the Associated Press. who has
been through Belgium, sends mes
sage from Rotterdam. which is heav-
lily censored, but which appears to
have been an account Of the invasion
of Belgium obtained from the Ger.
man point of view. He says:
Prom Brussels the German army
poured over southern Belgium into
France like a food tide, joining in the
south of Belgium with other army
corps
They crossed the French border
without serious resistance, the French
scattering before them in great dis.
order and leaving behind much war
material.
Several rear guard actions occur
red, resulting in considerable losses
to both sides, bringing up the losses
of the Germans in Belgium to $4,000.
'Innumerable skrmishes occurred in
the direction of Maubeuge from Aug
ust 29 to 26. At Bray. just west of Bin
che, the French and English were re-
pulsed.
Engagements in the vicinity OF
Buissiere and Thuin constituted the
most determined resistance by the al
lies. -.sr.
After two days of continued artil-
lery duel, which swept the surround
ing country and demolished every
structure. the entire right wing of the
allies was withdrawn far to the south
westward. This gave the Germans an
opportunity To sweep through Beau
mont and approach Maubeuge from
the south.
Meanwhile other corps had ap-
preached Maubeuge from the north en-
tirely investing the fortress.
"The English and French on August
23rd were driven across the Sambre
river. where on the south bank, along
thirty mile front, fighting continued
for three days"
The correspondent first saw actual
firing in the direction of Maubeuge
on August &c. but when he reached
the scene of the recent engagement
the firing lines had advances ten miles
southwark.
German wounded were Immediately
cared for and the dead buried. while
the French dead were left unburied
and the wounded in some cases re-
NAMED on the battlefield for three days
before receiving attention. A large
OF the French wounded died
from long exposure and from the lack
Of food and drink.
"I saw n duel between French and
German aeroplanes. the aviators los
ing control and the machines falling |
to earth like meteors."

bucharest, Roumania, Sept 1.-THE
effort of Emperor Francis Joseph to
secure the support of Roumania in the
present war has failed. The diplo-
macy OF the Russians has won. II
Roumania takes part In the present
general war it will be with Servia and
Montenegro and against Germany and
Austria.
This is admitted here today And
it is also considered certain Bulgaria
will follow the example of Roumania
in any future action. In fact that is

ed in a series of communications be-
tween Roumanian and the Bulgarian

Austria. But the people are so en-
thusiastic over the Russian victories
I'm Galicia and Bukovina. where Rou-
mania has territorial aspirations. that
any attempt to come to the rescue OF
Austria at this time would Immediate
ly result in a general revolution.
There is n general feeling here that
Austria, no matter what the outcomo
of the war. is certain to lose n good
part of her territory. 1t is also con-
sidered certain that Roumania will re-
ceive Bukovina as her prize for either
passive or active support of the Rus
sian cause. This belief permeates all
classes and as a result every intima-
tion OF a Russian victory is received
throughout all Roumania with demon
strations Of wild enthusiasm.
There has always been intense
hatred of Austria through racial rea-
sons and this is having its effect with
the royal family.
Bulgaria had agreed to assist Ger
many i'm the war. SO far had the
agreement gone that German officers
had been sent to assist the Bulgarian
army which was to be commissioned
to subdua Scrvia. When news OF this
reached Petrograd the
car sent personal aid to see his
hereditary godson. Prince Boris. The
latter was shown the entire plans Of
especially those that relat-
ed to the Austrian cause. So start
ling were these revelations IL is stated. |
especially regarding the total unpre-
paredness of the Austrian army. that |
Prince Boris promptly vetoed all sug
yestions of aiding Austria and Ger
many.
Bulgaria will remain neutral unless
Turkey enters the war. II she does it |
IS likely that n Roumanian Bulgarian
will at once be organized
md an immediate offensive campaign
against Turkey will be begun. This will
,bviate the necessity of Russia detach-
ng troops to prevent an invasion OF
Russia by Turkey.

| London, Sept 11.-"Panic rules in
Austria telegraphs the Daily Nails
Milan correspondent, who has been in
| Vienna. At the same time German
newspapers that have reached London
disclose a proclamation in which Aus
tria sought the help of Russian Poland
and promised equal rights to tho
Jews there.
Explaining the cause of the panic
in Austria" the Mail's correspondent
wires:
The great. unwieldy and bankrupt
| empire, dragged reluctantly at the
heels of Germany, is in a state of des-
perate fear Her armies, half hearted
at first and now openly mutinous, are
beaten back at every point by the
Russians.
THE policy of mixing in each COM
panY men of the different races which
compose the empire has had the re-
suit that there is no esprit de corps in
the army. The men were driven into
trains at the point of the bayonet
and scores were shot by their officers
to terrorize their fellows into obed-
ence.
while the Russian avalanche drives
on, Bosnia is in open revolt and Tri-
est paralyzcd by fear of attack from
sea.
Business Men Ruined.
Austria is bankrupt. trade at
standstill and thousands of business
men are ruined by war which they
hate.
while the harvest remains ungath-
cred. Vienna is menaced by a famine
and prices are steadily rising. In re-
sentiment the popular anger has turn
ed against the foreigner.

begun To fortify Vienna. Arrange
ments have been made to flood large
tracts around the city. Riots have oc-
cured in many towns.
ITO the terrors OF the Cossack and

luton and famine"
An Appeal to Jews.
The proclamation issued by Austria
to the Jews in Poland says:
THE heroic armies of the mid Eur
opean states of Germany and Austria
Hungary have entered Poland. Our
flags bring justice, freedom and equal
rights as citizens, religious freedom
and freedom to live undisturbed in
economic and cultural life.
"To long you have suffered under
the iron yoke Of Moscow. We come as
friends The foreign barbarian yoke
is gone.

will use all our strength to put ii on a |

DO not be deluded by the fiattering |
promises OF the cZar.
Think of the awful Punishment of
the great masses of Jews; think of the
cities Of Kishinev, Gomel, Bialystok
and Sedlec and their hundreds of po-
groms.
Now that the cZar feels himself be-
tween the hammer and the anvil, he
renews his promises. Your sacred duty
is To work with all your might for
freedom"
