LONDON, Aug. Persistent reports Of an important en-
counter between the German and British fleets maneuvering for
strategic positions in the North Sea set the British public in a state
OF agitation this morning. The excitement was not alayed until
the first lord Of the admiralty made the official announcement in
Parliament that stories of fighting and losses other than those of
a British cruiser and a German anime layer were unfounded.
DENIALS FIR ON BERLIN
News from the German side was extremely meager owing to
the interruption of direct telegraph communication. Denials came
from Berlin by way of other cuntries of the repulse of German
forces before the Belgian city of Liege, where Belgian sources de-
clare their attacks had been badly checked with heavy losses.
Movements OF the great aggregations of troops which must by
this tune have gathered at their springing off points on the German
frontier chasing both the Russian and French army are kept from
public knowledge. Military authorities here are of the opinion
that preparations must be almost completed for a forward move
