Great Battle Not Begun.

London.-As far es the Gordon of
secrecy which the battling nations
have drawn around the Franco-Ger.
man frontiers will permit Of guess
work, the great battle which prom
ises to cast Mukden and Liao-Yang in
to insignifcance has not actually be-
gun. Encounters which military his
torians a month from now may de-
scribe as "Reminiscences in force"
are proceeding along the border. They
are heralded by both sides as battles
and victories. In history most of them
will rank as Incidents.
Liege remains the cruz Of the con
troversy. The German government
has announced that the forts have
been destroyed and the defenders
buried beneath their ruins. The
French government declares the forts
are holding out.
From Brussels ONE word that the
German movement toward the center
has been checked, while from the
French embassy in London the state
ment has been issued that the Ger
mans have retired from the import
ant Alsatian outpost of Sarrebourg.

Acknowledgements from Brussels
announce that the British, French and
Russian Ministers, with their stats,
have left for Antwerp.
The Brussels correspondent of the
Exchange Telegraph Company says it
Is becoming practically impossible to
get news away from. Brussels as the
censor forbids information concerning
troop movements being published.
However, 1t is certain that a tremen-
dous battle Is In progress within the
area stretching from Diest and Tirle-
mont, as far as Givet.
The general impression here is that
no effort will be made to concentrate
for the defense of Brussels as the at
tacking Germans would not be Of suf-
fcient strength to warrant such con-
celtration.
Paris.-The following official state
ment was given out:
--latest advices are to the effect
that the French Army has reached
Morhange (Morchingen) in Alsace-
Lorraine, 10 miles southeast of Metz.
Our advance was very rapid in the
afternoon beyond the -'7er Seille. At
the end Of the day we reached Define,
on one side, and Morhange on the
other.
There is little change In the situa-
ton in Upper Alsace. We continue to
advance in Vosges. The Germans
have retaken the village Of Vile. Our
troops have occupied Chateau Salins
and Dieuze, but face well fortified and
strongly held positions.
"Our cavalry has had a successful
encounter with the Germans at Flor
e~nville, Belgium. Large German
formes, it is announced, are crossing
the Meuse between Liege and Namur.
= zone of the French b~rigadiers has
asked the commandments to
make public the following facts:
"A French Hussar made prisoner,
was dragged by German soldiers into
an Alsatian village and his throat
was cut before the villagers, who tes-
tify to the deed"

London.-Little has become known
Of the operations which put the Ger
man army between the Belgian forces
and their French allies and enabled
the Germans to occupy Brussels.
It is believed the Germans brought
up strong forces behind their cavalry
screens and that a severe battle must
have been fought to compel the Bel
gians to abandon Brussels and retire
to Antwerp.
Whether the French forces were
engaged with the Belgians is not
known.
No information Is available as to
whether the Germans intend to de-
vote themselves to reducing Antwerp
or to an endevaor to force their way
southwark into France.
1t seems, however, that the deter
mination is to attack the Belgian army
Of 100000 men, who still are in or
around Antwerp. The Germans al
ready are advancing in the direction
of Client. They have occupied Aost,
Is miles northwest Of Brussels and
Wetteren, eight miles southeast of
Client and apparently intend to over
run the whole Of Northern Bel
GUM to the sea. :
Cavalry patrols have been as far as
Mechlin (Malines), IA miles southeast
of Antwerp and it may be heard be-
fore long that the Germans have oc-
cupied Client and Brugies and posi-
bly, even Ostend. If this is their DE-
cision, however, a clear invasion of
France through Belgium must be
much longer delayed.
The German general has imposed a
war tax of $40, 00O,O 900 on the city of
Brussels.

latest report is that the French have
recaptured Muelhausen and 1t still
seems true that after IS days of fight
ing there are no German troops on
French soil.
On Germany's Eastern frontier there
has been considerable outpost lighting
which would indicate that the Rus
SLAMS are completing their work OF!

serious collisions in this region as yet
however. Austria Is too much engag-

demand is for aid that shall reach the
small man who raises the actual bale
Of cotton" said E. J. Watson, presi-
dent Of the Southern Cotton Congress,
who returned recently from Washing
ton.
1.-THE press dispatches" said Com,
missioner Watson, have no doubt
kept the people posted as to the ses-
sions Of the cotton congress. The
gathering was M Of the most thor
oughly representative ever held in the
country and more than filed its mis-.
sion. Action has been taken which
will be quickly followed up in every
state, promising results Of substantial
character. l shall Immediately an
nounce the selection Of certain field
committees provided for, and call
gatherings in each state, as directed
by the congress to do. y
The report of the committee on
legislation of the congress follows:
"First-We recommend that to meet
the extraordinary emergency now
confronting the cotton producer and
the business interests of the South:
"(a) To furnish the producer with
quick money at low rate Of interest
with which to finance his crop.
Second-In order to accomplish the
above, we >recommend:
"(a) That the Vreeland-Aldrich r
rency law be so amended that govern
ment loans can be deposited in state
banks and trust companies upon
equal terms with such deposits in
national banks.
"Third-That it Is indispensable for
the transportation Of the products of
our farms and mills that such trans
portation be provided for under the
United States flag: D.
"(a) That congress be urged to
enact such legislation as will enable
foreign built ships to be registered and
manned under our national flag under
such regulations as may be necessary
including adequate and reasonable in
surance.
"Your committee recognizes that.
most Of the legislation necessary for
placing in effect the above recon-
mendations is already under consider
alton in congress as the result Of the
foresight and activity Of our senator's
and representatives. We hereby ten
der to these gentlemen so ably gaurd-
ing our interests in the national con-
gress our appreciation Of their efforts,
u thanks for their activity and u
confidence in their ability and integ-
rity."
