the proposed purchase by the State Of

Susquehanna river. which lew years
ago was practically a eift to its present
owners. The structure rs operated az a
toll bridge for persons travelling from
Baltimore TO Philadelphia as we'll as
those travelling between Hartford and

planned that the toll charges are too
high and that they should either be

have instructed their Legislators to fight

War Summary

An entire change in the plan OF
campaign may be brought about
by the finding Of an opening TO
the north by the German army in
Belgium, This was admitted in
an official communication from
Brussels today, which said the
Germans had gained ground on
both banks of the Meuse. and are
in contact with the allies" II
adds that the "Belgians. having
done all that could be expected by
holding the invaders in check for
fifteen days, their strategy will
now be merged into the general
plan OF the allied armies" 1t
concludes with the significant
sentence that the "retrograde
movement does not mean defeat"
implying that the BeIgians have
been operating hitherto by them
selves in checking the Germans,
while the French and British were
making preparations TO meet the
advancing German forces.
Rumors that Brussels has fallen
into German hands were per-
sistently current in Paris. but no
confirmation could be obtained.
The Belgian capital was known TO
he threatened by German cavalry,
who had reached the forest of
Soignies. thanking the city. All
the approaching roads had been
barricaded and entrenched. Four
OF the Brussels hospitals are filled
with wounded soldiers.
Antwerp apparently is the tenn
porary goal OF the German troops
in Belgium. They are reported
moving slowly but steadily in the
direction OF the great fortified
port on the Scheldt river. The
German soldiers have occupied
the town OF Tirelemont, and their
masses, pushing In from the from
tier, are believed to have come
into contact with the allies front.
Reports in Brussels asserted a
battle had occurred near Charlie
roi, In which the Germans were
supposed to have suffered a loss
of 5000 killed. This was not
confirmed by any official sources.
Reports were current In many
European quarters today that
Germany had decided not to COM
ply with Japan's ultimatum call
ing for the German evacuation of
Kiao Chow and the abandonment
of the eastern seas by German
war vessels. Holland Is said to
feel uneasiness in regard to its
East Indian colonies, in view OF
Japan's attitude.
Gumbinnen, a German town,
twenty miles from the Russian
frontier, has been occupied by the
Russians, who, according to Rus
sian official advices. captured
twelve German field guns and
took many prisoners.
French official advices announce
the rapid progress of the French
column invading Lorraine in the
direction OF Metz.
Montenegrln troops have in
vaded Austrian territory in Herse-
goyina, where they have been in
corporated as an army corps in
the Servian army.

blind bishop, Kannengiesser an
Alsatian, was shot by Germans.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 19.-(Special Cable
gram to New York World and Omaha
Bee e.)-Brussels was very nervous this
evening and there seems a reason; all
official statements as to its position are
reassuring but as they have been so every
day. Brussels nerves are taut.
Notices posted in the streets tonight
say: Anyone with arms on his person

is liable to be shot by any invaders"

LONDON. Aug. O.-(4:2o p. m)-The
almost complete absence Of news from the

that big events are in progress, which
will test the real csliber of the battalions
today engaged in the new Waterloo" or
the new Sedan"
That the great German advance is be-
ing pushed with vigor and determination
can be safely assorted, judging from the
intelligence permitted to the outside
world. On both banks Of the Meuse the
Germans are crowding southwark toward
the entrenched French army waiting TO

The invaders already have reached a

almost midway between Brussels and

Strategic Retreat.
Before this northward rush the Belgian
forces are retiring on Antwerp. In Brus-
sells they call this a strategic retreat.
Whether the movement is strategic or
forced the Germans have gained much
ground in the direction OF BRUSSELS.
