London, Aug. Eff Bulgaria con-

trality Russia will take into consdera-
ton Bulgarias national aspirations
when the war 10 over, according TO a
report from Sofia, where, it is said, the
Russian Minister delivered this decla-
ration to Gar Ferdinand.
NJ. Savinsky is said TO have asserted
that, on the other hand, Russia would
not care to see Bulgaria fighting in the
ranks of Russia's enemies, and in the
event of such course Russia would
take it into account.
Rumania will Immediately wage war
on Bulgaria in the event that the latter
attacks Seryia, according to the EX-
change Telegraph, which says it has
been so informed from a high diplo-
matte source.
1t is denied emphatically that Ru-
manian troops have invaded Servian
territory.
Reports reaching here from Sofia
state that the Bulgarian government is
preparing for eventualities, but 1t is
not known what it has in view.

London, Aug. 12.--According to an
official telegram from the French Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, received in
London to-day, the rumors Of the Bel
gian loss of the forts at Liege are
false. It is asserted that all the forts
from Belfort TO Liege are intact.
The French cavalry is maintaining
its superiority in the small engage
ments that have taken place, while
French troops hold the crest and
passes of the Vosges and dominate the
heights of Alsace, besides holding the
line between Thanh and Altkirch to
the rear of Mulhausen.
"Rumors regarding the loss of the
forts Of Liege by the Belgian troops
are entirely false" says the tele-
gram. "Only small groups of German
soldiers entered the town itself under
cover of the darkness. All the en-
circling forts, twelve j. number, are
intact.
"Small unimportant engagements have
occurred along the whole line where the
French and German armies are facing
each other, from Belfort, opposite the
southernmost part Of Alsace, to Liege,
in Belgium. In these encounters the
French cavalry has always maintained
its superiority over the German mount
ed troops, while our artillery has been
splendidly served
"A line between Thanh twenty-five
miles southwest of Colmar. Alsace)
and Altkirch (the first position occu-
pied by the French army after its in
vasion of Alsace) is held by our
armies. This line runs slightly TO the
rear of Mulhausen.
1.-THE French government Indignantly
denies that there was any violation OF
German territory by the French army
before the declaration of war"
Il is officially announced to-day that
of twenty-five German army corps the
bulk now is definitely located, and It is
evident that the mass of German
troops is concentrated between Liege
and Luxembourg.
"The number of German troops

I that in the eastern theatre of war the
( Russo German frontier, SO far as Ger
many is concerned, is comparatively

meet them.
Reports Of the brutality Of the Ger
mans are coming in steadily, one being
to the effect that four holiday makers
were killed at Aiken. Another told Of
the firing on a passenger train running
from Hasselt to Cortessem, killing a
passenger.
A letter received here from Liege
says the German general staff is in
stalled there in the Convent of the
Sacred Heart, which is strongly barrl-
caded. The Germans, il adds, are ac-
cumulating quantities of -four in case
they should find themselves invested
instead of being the besiegers.
The German army is being detached
from its position before Liege and is
advancing through the heart of Bel
GUM. The main body of the German
cavalry is engaged in forward move,
ment all along the front of the allied
armies.

ing fired upon and arc returning the
fire of the Germans with vigor.
The German troops are in movement
with the evident intention Of crossing
the River Meuse. Conveys have been
sighted proceeding toward Engis, a
town TO the southwest of Liege.
The correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph Company at Rome says that
a dispatch from Berlin gives an official
statement by General Won Stein regard
ing the siege of Liege. The German
commander denies the loss of 10000
men, but does not give figures of his
losses. lie says that only a small num-
her of German troops were engaged, in
order to mask the movements of the
bulk Of the army. The enemy's ad-
vance attacking force, he says, was
completely annihilated, and, while ad-
hitting that the forts remain intact,
explains this by saying:
"The Emperor did not wish to sacri-
fee life unnecessarily, but so soon as
the heavy artillery arrives the forts
will be taken without the loss of a
man"
General Won Stein admits that the
capture of the forts is q difficult prob
lem because of the unfavorable ground
about them, and, further, because the
population of the town. including the
women, shoot at the German troops from
behind, firing unfortunately, hitting
the surgeons and the wounded The
German commander concludes with the
remark that sit must not be forgotten
that the Belgian force is numerically
superior TO ours"
A dispatch from Rotterdam says that
the Maestricht correspondent Of "The
Rotterdam Courant" has been positive
~ assured by German officers at Wise
that the Crown Princes regiment
crossed the River Meuse some days
ago without the prince.
Military experts studying the posi-
tons Of the opposing armies may pos
sibly, ii IS pointed out, have been con-
fused as 70 the German entertainments
said to have been erected on the River
Aisne, which they conclude TO be the
river Of that name well inside the
French border. There is also a small
stream called the Aisne running into
the Ourthe q. Bombal, below Liege, and
this may be the one mentioned, as il
would thus form an extension of the
defensive works thrown up by the Ger
mans after they encountered Belgian
q opposition at Liege.

LOT OF THE POOR IMPROVED
Consideration VIII Show That the
World Has Been Steadily Advanc-
ing During the Century.

Heaven knows we have not been I'M
selfish. We have been hard enough
and grinding enough and buried deep
enough in plans for money and for
comfort, but the sense that the poor
are with us has never quite gone from
our minds. We have trimmed the
lamp Of charity and kept it burning.
Little by little, the flame has grown
brighter and clearer until, in this CEN
fury we have passed, we have begun
to see how 1t may light the world.
Here in America we have made educa-
ton free to all. We have given homes
to 100000 people. In countless ways
we have alleviated suffering and ex-
tended opportunity. There Is q cen
tury's work for you! And now we are
creating parks and Fairgrounds, and
revolutionizing the living conditions OF
the poor In cities, banishing disease,
| organizing from the moneys OF the
rich, huge unselfish companies to aid
In the emancipation Of the poor, and
we are gradually introducing into Dusl'
ness life the honest principle OF divid'
ing profits with the workers. 10 the
trite platitude that the world was
| never advancing so fast In material
prosperity as It does today, It may
truthfully be added that the vast IN
crement In life's satisfaction goes, 70

middle. class. but to the poor.-From

SHOWS IMMENSELY OF SPACE
Map of the Universe, Almost Com
pIeted, a Most interesting Sci
entific Work.

A map of the visible universe, upon
have been working for % years, is al
most complete. 1t will contain every
star which can be found by the most
powerful telescope. The number will
not be less than 100, 100000.
Some of the stars which will be rep
resented have never been seen by the
eye of man, and probably never will
be seen. They are caught and re-
corded by the Photographic plate
which is more sensitive to light than
the retina of the human eye.
The immensities of space which will
be represented on the map are far be-
yond human comprehension or imag-
nation. The distances of the stars
are so great that to represent them
in miles carries no understanding to
the brain. The size of some of the
stars, which have been measured with
satisfactory accuracy, is almost equal
ly beyond the minds grasp. AS for
the nebulae, there are astronomers who
believe that they are further uni
verses, great star groups in themselves
as tremendous as the whole visible
universe. Yet these nebulae are so
incomprehensibly remote that only
two of them are visible, as tiny hazy
stars, to the naked eye.
The map of the heavens should be
an inspiration even to the layman-
Contemplation of i~mmensities which
approach infinity should be an excel.
lent antidote for pettiness.

Artificial Woo From Straw.

Information has been made public
I'm Lyons, France, concerning an arti-
fetal wood which. it is stated, will be
|, of great value as a substitute for
&natural wood. The new product has
been found. after years Of study and
practical experiments, the most recent
of which have given eminently salts
factory results.
The process consists in transform
ling straw into a solid material having
Zthe resistance of oak. The straw, after
being cut into small pieces, is reduced
to a paste by boiling, to which certain
/ chemicals are added. When the paste
has been reduced to a homogeneous
!. mass it is put into presses, and planks,
I{beams, laths and holdings of all sizes
are readily made. This new material
can be sawed like natural wood. AS a
fuel it emits q bright flames and little
smoke. It is further stated to be
Itadaptable to the manufacture of match
stems.
