 The letter says the Germans, hav- ing failed in a frontal attack were bringing up artillery when Lupin, ex- Claiming Leave them to me, " dashed out. Taking cover behind q wall to the German left, he enfiladed the crew of the German battery. He shot down in quick succession the chief officer and then the under off cers, and finally the gunners. Con fusion ensued among the Germans, who directed their last gun at the wall, bringing it down and crushing Lupin to death.

London, Aug. 15-TAe correspond ent of the Exchange Telegraph Com

Germany gives notice that from today every Belgian or French private citizen who fires on German troops or tries to inter- fere with communications between the army of the invasion and the rear guard, or to interfere in any way with the advance of the German army of the invasion and the rear guard, will be shot. The note adds that if the war thus assumes brutal char acter it will be the fault of France and Belgium and not of Germany,

 When left Liege," he says, the iorls were firing grandly. It is the iifm conviction of all Belgium that 'hese forts will never be taken. A similar opinion is expressed by most 'oielgners who have ses1 the forts.

STILL FLY THE COLORS OF THE FATHERLAND SINCE ENTERING THE DARDANELLES TO ESCAPE ENGLISH-VESSELS IN THE PA CIFiC ARE SAFE.

London. Aug. 16.--1:3O a.m.-The Mitylene correspondent of the Reuter- Telegram Company, who has just re- turned to his post after spending five days in the Dardanelles aboard the Italian steamer Romania, which the Turks are detaiaing in hope of in. ducing her officers to surrender her cargo of flour, sends the following dispatch:
 ''The German cruisers Goeben and Breslau, after escaping the British fleet, entered the Dardanelles Mon day night German officers from the cruisers boarded several ships the next morning and gave peremptory orders that they should not move. The Germans smashed part of the wire. less installation on the French liner Saghalien, which had aboard 600 re. cruisers. saw them fraternizing with the Germans.
 The Goeben proceeded eastward Tuesday. The rumor was circulated that she had been purchased by Fur key but she was seen in the sea of Marmora Thursday flying the German flag. The Breslau, also flying the German flag was in the Darda1elles Thursday.
 According to reliable information the Porte apologized to the powers for the arbitrary proceeding but no explanation was forthcoming as to why the cruisers were flying the Ger man flag.
 The Turks are acting most arbi- trarily in the Dardanelles, detaining for days vessels without explanation. strict military censorship exists at Constantinople.

Germans to Strike Again.

London, Aug 16--3:05 a. m-The Brussels correspondent of the Week ly Despatch writing under date of Saturday morning. says:
 Tt seems as if hostlities after yesterdays calm may break out again shortly in the neighborhood of Diest Belgium. The Germans are said to be massing cavalry and infan- try in that direction. Much of the infantry is being brought up in motor cars.
 The Belgians at Diest and Haelen have enjoyed the advantage of fight ing on lines of their own caprice. The German attacK has not yet succeeded in driving them from their position and breaking their line of continuity With the French. The Germans yet have to make an attack in great force on the Limburg lines.
 Brussels is quiet considering the proximity of the war. There is a steady flow of wounded and prisoners and there are other signs of combat, such as motor cars with bullet marks on them.
 The Germans pursue regular tac- tics with their aeroplanes Six leave Cologne daily Three go to recon hotter points of contact with the Bel gians in the fled. The other three make a methodical circling journey over the chief towns and the rear of the troops. They are regular and al- most can be timed.
 Tt is difficult for airmen to dis. tinguish the presence of troops on the three lined roads but one Belgian airman brought news to his com manders of German dispositions two and half hours before fighting be- gan and it was possible to dispose the troops accordingly"

SILENCE
 AT FRONT
INDICATES THAT LEADERS HAVE COMPLETED THEIR FINAL PLANS FOR THE STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY IN THE V- CINITY OF BRUSSELS.

London. Aug. 15.-11:20 p.m-Com, munication with the armies has vir- tually come to an end while command CTS in Belgium and along the Franco German frontier are preparing for a trial of strength which promises to develop the greatest battle in history.
 It is known that the Germans are going to swing their right around to. ward Brussels and Antwerp but with what success nobody outside the field of the forts knows.
 The same applies to the attack on Liege forts, one of which, Pontisse. is essential to German success as it is nearest to the bridge over the Mouse which the invaders are using to bring troops into Belgium. Silence enyelops the operations in other parts of the little country which is playing such a big and unexpected part in the war.
 On the Alsatian frontier the French claim another victory in the capture of Saals Pass in the Vosges noun tains.
 Here, the French officials reports say, the Germans lost heavily by their tactics of c'ose formation, to which, from all accounts, they are adherng
 Two other small countries, Servia and Montenegro. are playing impor- tant roles for, if accounts can be be- lieved, they not only are offering strong resistance to Austria, but actu- ally have invaded Herzegovina where they are certain to be assisted by the friendly population. This will divert some of the Austrian forces from the French and Russian borders.
 Russians are appearing in greater strength in eastern Prussia and Aus trian Galicia and are busy destroying railroads and otherwise hampering the movements of Germans and Aus trians.
 Germany and Austria arc silent re garding the movements of their troops so there is really only one side of the picture given.
 Aeroplanes are being used every where to ascertain positions of the op- posing forces and according to re- ports are doing splendid service in striking contrast to the feeble at tempts of their predecessors, captive balloons.
 No definite statement has been is sued with regard to Japan, but Italy is maintaining strict neutrality.

Paris, Aug. 15.-5:50 pm.-Condi- tions under which the great battle be- tween the Germans and the Allied forces probably will be fought are made the subject of an official com. munieation issued by the French min ister of war today. By it's develop. ment and the nature of the ground over which the battle will be waged the communication says, the engage nent will differ profoundly from bat. ties of other times.
 'iBy reason of the abandonment of the attack which the Germans plan. ned against Nancy" says the com munication, it was reported concen- tration has been carried out with reg ularity and in it's entirety and thus the whole of the French army will battle with the whole of the German forces, with the exception of those German troops concentrated on the eastern frontier of the empire.
 We know also that the failure Of this quick attack through Belgium be- cause of the resistance of the forts at diege, the valor of the Belgian army and the intervention of our cavalry has kept the German forces eight days upon the Mouse. The first re- suits are these checks to the German plan'
 The war office alludes to the regu- 1a oe fba INrapab 1,,pbifivat inn n concentration and coordination of the French movement with the English and Belgian allies, and continues:
 The violation of the neutrality of Belgium has extended the Belgian and French lines to the frontier Of Holland. The next battle therefore, will be from Basic to Bastricht, with several millions of men on each side. It is this enormous extension of eff fective and of front which will char acterize the battle and be profoundly different from all other battles.
 "When two adyersaries engage in a battle along a front of from twenty to thirty llilometers (13 to 70 miles) the engagement is characterized by two features it is rapid and immedi- ately decisive With front extend ing over 400 kilometers (266 miles) it is not likely to be the same.
 Tt would appear impossible from all the evidence that one of the adver- saries would be able to gain decisive advantage upon this front of 400 kilo- meters
 "The operations along so great a lime would have varying fortunes. We will have an advantage at one or sev- era points; the Germans will have an advantage at other points and the line of battle will continue to be mod flied until one of the adversaries sue ceeds by coordination of movements and a mass of effort in gaining some point. the superiority of which will dislodge the adversaries front and mark the end of the first battle.
 These observations have for then object the preparation for the public for battle in new form and without precedent in history"
 The communication adds that news of definite results need not be eX pected for at least eight days longer

COTTON RECEIPTS
REFLEST ENORMOUS
INCREASE ALREADY

The Americus cotton trade was in
terested in the publication this morn
ing of the bureau report on cotton
bales ginned to November 14th-one
week ago-which is far in excess of
ginning figures at that date in 1911,
the year Of the bumper cotton crop,
the greatest ever produced and which
sent values down to the bottom of the
flume with six to seven cents offered
for the better grades.
Conditions today are about the same
as in November 1911-an enormous
crop with consequent low prices-val-
ues that would have obtained even had
there been no war.
The census bureau report issued this
morning indicated that II ,624,7 ,70S bales
cotton of the present corp had been
ginned up to last Saturday, Nov. 14th,
which is compared with 11,313,236
bales ginned to Nov. 14th, 1911. This is
an increase of 311,4 bales this sea-
-
son, and points to an enormous crop
this year, possibly quite as large as
the record-breaking crop of 1911.
Under such conditions, with the war
feature added, it is surprising that val
ues remain as high as they have been
recently.
