Wilson Offers Services in
Interests of Gaining Peace

Washington, D. c., Aug. 5.-President Wilson
has offered his good offices to all the European
powers involved in the war.
He has sent the following message to Emperor
William Emperor Nicholas Emperor Francis Joseph,
President Poincare, and King George
"As official head Of one of the powers signatory
to The Hague convention feel it to be my privilege
and my duty under Article Three Of that convention to
say to you in spirit of most earnest friendship that
would welcome an to act in the interests
Of peace any time may be thought suitable as an oc-
cason to you and all concerning any way and
to SO do would afford lasting for gratitude
and happiness.
(Signed) "Woodrow Wilson"
The presidents offer Of good offices was forward
ed by Secretary Bryan to the American ambassadors
in the nations involved and through them transmitted
to the governments.
1t was said that no intimations had been re-
ceved that such offer would be favoraby received
A hope that the presidents offer might be ac-
cepted prevalent in official circles because it is
not for any Of the warning powers to change
the present military status if they accept it.
Article Seven of The Hague convention provides.
"The acceptance of mediation cannot unless there
be agreement to the contrary have the effect Of
.interrupting delaying or hinderng mobilization or
other measures preparations for war
IF it takes place after the commencement Of
hostties the military operations in progress are not
interrupted in the absence of an agreement to the
contrary"

Brussels, via London, Aug s. The
Belgian minister OF war in an official
statement today said:
"The Belgians are successfully COM
batting the German invasion. The
Belgian, losses are trifling compared
with those of the Germans"
The prompt destruction Of bridges

Gated three German army corps, the
tenth army corps at Eysden, the
seventh army corps, 1000 strong, at
Verviers, and the sixth army corps in
another locality not named. The tenth
German army corps is operating along
the northern line, and finding unex-
pected resistance, moved further north
ward, invading Dutch territory at Til
burg and crossing the Meuse at Eys-
den. An army of 100000 Germans
was marching today on Liege, where
a general attack is expected tomor-
row.
A German officer who was taken
prisoner by the Belgians said he was

given to understand at Berlin that
there would be no difficulty in passing
through Belgian territory.
A German military aviator was
killed today.
