The BELGIANS STILL
COMMAND SITUATION
Germans Make Brilliant Attack But De.
fenses Are Impregnable and They Are
Forced to Retreat.

London, Aug. l4.-Overwhelming sue.
eesses by the allies against the Ger.
mans in Belgium were announced today
by the official British military press
bureau.
Wednesday" said the bureau s ac.
count, "six regiments of German caval.
ry, supported by $500 infantry and a
heavy detachment of artillery, with ma
chine guns, moved eastward against the
Belgians, operations being directed to.
ward the Belgian field headquarters at
Louvaine.
Belgian cavalry, similarly supported
by infantry and artillery, opposed this
advance.
"a fight ensued, lasting all day, and
covering 10 miles of territory. War
scouts and aviators apprised the Bel.
gians of the enemy's approach.
"The Belgian defense was well main.
tanned, the enemy was completely dis.
organized and his cavalry badly cut up.
Capture Machine Guns.
"After shelling the approaching Ger.
man column the Belgians charged, the
German cavalry Withdrawing and the
infantry and the artillery were routed.
" Friday morning German cavalry
division, supported by infantry and a
machine gun column armed with guns
mounted on auto trucks, was trapped by
force from the Belgian Notifications
at Namur, sent out to prevent an attack
on the forts. 5R@
'The Germans were defeated and
driven eastward, the Belgians capturing
many prisoners and all the machine
guns.
To-day the Belgians have entire
command of the situation.
''The Germans have been repulsed
everywhere.
"The Liege forts are still untaken.
General Joffre, the French com
mander, today conferred the first deco.
rations of the present war-a war med
ALTO Corporal of Dragons Escoffier
and a decoration Of the Legion of Hon.
or on Lieutenant Bruyant of the dra-
goons for conspicuous gallantry in ac.
tion.'
The London, Paris and st. Petersburg
chancellories were awaiting a reply to-
night to curt note they sent to Con-
stantinople concerning the pretended
purchase by the sultan of the German
, cruisers Goebel and Breslau, now in
Turkish waters.
The three powers demanded that the
vessels crews be disarmed at once and
sent home.
1t was understood here that the Ger.
mans had not even landed, despite the
story of the ships sale, and that Ger.
man flags still flew from their masts
The belief here was that the Goeber
and Breslau incident was very likely
to involve Turkey in the war, on Ger
many's side.
Italy, which was also dissatisfied
with the situation, was said to be max
ing strong representations to the sui
tan, and the Greek cabinet was agaiI
in session today considering the situa
ton. King Constantine was under
stood to be strongly for neutrality, but
there was strong sentiment through
out his country in favor of attacking
the Turks.
Many people here believed the Bri
tish isles will yet suffer famine as {
result of the war. Clubs, even thu
most fashionable, were simplifying
,, their menus and the newspapers were
urging economy with food
In anticipation of white pape
: shortage, the British newspapers wer,
, reducing the size and the number o.
their pages.

Dol Boil Prunes.-To preserve their
rich fruity flavor do not boil prunes.
Soak them over night in cold water to
cover them, then take them out and boil

for 10 minutes, adding sugar. Put in

for half an hour. Some cooks simply
pour boiling hot water over them and
let them stand on the back of the stove
for a few hours. A new flavor can be
given by adding a few slices of lemon.
Another method is to cook them with

Washington Post: Thomas Paine,
the liberty-loving Englishman who
joined the French revolutionists after
helping the Americans to free them
selves from the British yoke, declared
that the world was his country.
Today. 105 years after the death of
Paine, we would not be far from right
if We were to claim that the world is
our country. The United States has
done more for aliens than any other
country in the history of the world.
We have done more than merely
grant foreigners the right of citizen
ship; we have made it possible for
them to hold practically every public
office within the gift of the people
COntining ourselves to the present con
gress for examples to illustrate some
of the points just made, we find that

Colorado comes down from ancient
Irish kings. keating, by the way

Senator Robert l.. Owen, of Okla

yet he belongs to the oldest American
family. His grandfather, many gen
erations removed, was chief of the
Cherokee tribe of Indians.
Senator Isaac Stephenson, of Wis
cOnsin, is related to the great English
inventor, George Stevenson, who in
vented the locomotive.
Senator Claude Swanson, of Vir-
g1nia, claims a descendence from the
blood of Norway. His ancestors first
settled in Philadelphia and were at
that time called Swenson. Senator
Knute Nelson was born in Norway
Another interesting member of con-
gress Of far lineage is Representative
HalvOr Steenerson. The most distin-
guished of Mr.. Steenersons ancestors
bear the name of Steiner the Hardy"
and Is supposed to have lived several
hundred years ago.
Representative Albert Estopinal, of
Louisiana, is of Spanish descent, as
the name shows.
Representative O'Hair comes down
from Irish kings of that name, who
were fond of fighting.
The only prince sitting in congress
is Jonas Kubin Kalanianaolo, delegate
from the Hawaiian Islands. He is a

he not exactly as much right to keen

victions, as the union member has to
enroll himself with others and to work
or not to work as his preference sug

The United States government has
taken strange attitude toward these
independent workers during the last

ana the secretary Of labor has openly
declared that unionism must come in
this country. practically pledging the

plishing its end of complete domina
