under date of Aug 29 to the Austro-

time, declares as follows:
Belgium always has maintained
friendly relations with all its neigh
oors and had fulfilled the duty impos.
cd by neutrality. II she could not &C.
cept the proposals of the Germans IL
is because they had for their object,
the violation of an engagement which
was a condition of the creation of the
kingdom.
belgium does not think that any
people, however weak, could mistake
their duty and sacrifice their honor
by inclining before force"
After setting forth that the Belgian
government waited until its territory
had been invaded before calling on
France and Great Britain, the state
ment declares:
"Eelgium denies formally the asser-
! tion that Austrian subjects have been
subjected to treatment contrary to the
! most primitive requirements OF hui
| manity.
''The Belgian government at the out
set gave the strictest orders for the
safeguarding of the persons and prop
erty OF Austrian subjects ~-~-

Three Million in Battle on
Eve of Anniversary
of Sedan.
GERMANS IN HEADWAY
Losses to Attacking Forces
Claimed Greater Than
Those of Defenders.

Absence of news concern
ing the progress of the Euro
pean war is today most
marked. 1t is evident there
is a concerted effort on the
part of the English and
French authorities to keep
the world at large in absolute
ignorance of what is trans
piring in northern France.
No official statements were
issued at London, Paris or
Berlin, and such news as
comes to hand is fragmen-
tarv, unsubstantiated and
without real significance.
The veil of secrecy is tighter
today than at any time in the
last3 80 days. Similar silence
was observed during the
fighting around NIonz, Cam
brai and Lecateau last week.
Fighting today in which
allies are believed opposing
the Germans advance, is
thought to be centered
around Lefere, a strongly
fortified position Is miles
northeast Of Paris. The fate
of the French capital may
hang on the outcome of these
operations. Persons return
ing from the north describe
lie Preparations Of the allies
for a defensive fight.

Poumania says the Aus

and St. Petersburg Dispatch

out It Is asserted that after a three

Perhaps the longer-haired sex suffer more
frequently from this form Of poisoning than
do their crop-haired brothers; but II 50 they

harmless; but many hair dyes contain nj

are extremely harmful to delicate scalp,
