from there tonight indicates that
a general engagement might have
been begun there, too.
There is no doubt either that
Italy is straining at the leash and
is ready to be in at the death, for
here this morning the belief is un-
shaken that even if the kaiser'S
troops should win the big battle
now on in Belgium, in the end
Germany will be beaten and bow

The first of British dead and

night. Three officers killed and
two wounded as the result Of an
accident, is the summary.

on the main force of the Belgian
troops near Lovrain. The Ger

withdrew in good order on the
second line of their entrenched
positions.
The casualties were very
heavy on both sides. Among the
Belgians killed was Count Wolf

through the brain while riding at

quarters of General Stein, accord
ing to which French officers and
perhaps also French soldiers were
sent to Liege before the war to
instruct the Belgian troops in the
defense of the Notifications.
"It was impossible to protest
against this," says General Stein,
"but after the war began this con-
duct had to be regarded as an in
fraction of Belgian neutrality by
France. We had to act with all
speed and mobilize. Regiments
were sent to the frontier and mar
ched on Liege. Six weak brigades
on peace footing with some cav,
airy and artillery, took Liege.
"The brigadeS were modified
at Liege and there received as first
re-enforcementS their own re-
serves. Two other regiments
came later. Our mobilization had
just finished. Our enemies
thought that one hundred thouS-
and Germans were at Liege, and
owing to difficulties with the
commiSSariat were unable to adj
vance.
This, however, was a mistake

"The enemy did not know oul

to the church.
Sarto was born June End, 1885,
in the tiny village of Riese in
the DoIomitic Alps. Translated
into English, the name Gieuseppe
Sarto means Joseph, the Tailor"
Sarto is a fairly common name in
Italy, frequently encountered in
the vicinity of Vienna. 1t has been
suggested that the late Pope was
of the family of Andrea del Sarto,
the famous artist who lived in the
latter part of the fifteenth CEN
tury. 1t is quite possible that
there was some relationship, but
there never existed any Specidl
reason for believing so.
POntiff for Eleven Years.
Sarto became pope in 1903. 1t
was a position that he did not
seek; in fact, it was fairly thrust
upon him, despite his earnest pro-
tests before the Sacred College of
Cardinals. When Sarto, the Pa
triarch of Venice, went to Rome,
to attend the conclave of cardinals
he so little thought that he was to
succeed Pope Leo that he carried
with him his tickets for the re-
turn trip.
The late pope came of a family
of eight children, two boys and
six girls. One of his sisters is
today a dreSSmaker, and one is
married to a peddler. A thi d be-
came the wife of a rural wine
shop keeper. The pope'S elder
brother lives in the village of Del
legrazie, province of Mantua, Of
which he is the postmaster, at
yearly salary of $4,000. As ar
aid to his family finances, the
pope'S brother conducts a small
shop for the sale of tobacco. Hi:
daughters are the bellies of th(
village.
I When Sarto was bishop of Man
tua, his brother was once asked
why he did not prevail upon tht
Bishop to use his influence in hi
behalf. Sarto, the postmaster, re
piled that no matter how power
!, full his brother might become il
the church, he would never aSl
his aid for material advantage
To this determination he remain
ed true, and the only visits h
ever made to Rome during the re
gime of Pope Plus were at tn
times of the latter'S illness.
, Seventh Venetian Pope.
Pope Plus was the seventh t
come from the vicinity of Venice
., By some strange coincidence
r Pope Benedict XVIII, who wa
E elected to the papacy 519 years t
a day before Plus, came from tn
S village of TreviSo, where Sart
: first entered upon his eccleSiaStt
