WAR IN BRIEF

Fleets of Great Britain and Ger
many at last have come to grips,
and according to reports the vic
tory lay with the British.
In a battle off the Island of He'll
eoIand, in the North Sea, the Ger
mans are reported TO have lost two
cruisers and two torpedo boats
sunk.
From England there comes not
even word officially concerning
the fighting on land.
The Germn forts at Tsing-Tau
fired upon two Japanese cruisers
accommodating off the fortress.
louvain, a Belgian town of 50,-
600 inhabitants and with many his
toric buildings, is reported to have
been burned by the Germans.
Because of the nonpayment of
war levy of S4o,ooo,ooo the Ger
mans, it is said, threaten to seize
the famous pictures and objects of
art in the museums of Brussels.
Advices from Chinese costaI cit
les report the sinking of the tor
pedo boat destroyer $50 by the
British torpedo boat destroyer Wei
land.
German reservists are said to be-
pouring into Tsing-Tau from vari-
Gus parts of China.
French and British armies, on
battle line $50 miles long, are siren
uousIy opposing the advance of the
German forces across the French
frontier.
While the Germans have occu-
pied the French cities of Lille,
Valenciennes and Roubaix, the Off
cial report from the War Office de-
scribed hopefully, from the view
point of the allies, operations to
the east.
The French Commander in Chief,
General Joffre, in communication
to Field Marshal Sir John French,
commander of the British forces,
pays tribute to the Valor of the
British army.
1t is reported that British ma
rines have occupied Ostend to pre-
vent the Germans from getting a
foothoId on English Channel.
The German cruiser Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse has been sunk by
British cruiser off the west coast
of Africa.
The situation between Japan and
Austria is described in Tokyo "as
rupture of diplomatic relations,
not war"
So far as can be CLEANED from
official announcements, the great
battle line along the French from
tier and in Belgium continues to
be the scene of engagements be-
tween opposing armies.
From Antwerp comes the an
nouncement that the Belgian troops
have compelled the Fourth German
division, advancing southwark, to
retrace it's steps.
French Ministers under Premier
Viviani presented their resigna-
tIons collectively to President Poin-
care, because they believed that in
the present circumstance the Min
istry should have wider scope.
London reports that TogoIand,
the German possession on the west
coast of Africa, surrendered uncon-
ditionaIIy.

Prepared for siege.

Paris.-Paris, it was announced Off
cially, is preparing for a possible
siege. The matter was discussed by
the new minister of war, Alexandra
Millerand, with the subordinates of
his department, and steps were taken
to determine the exact measures neces-
sary to place the city in a state to
Withstand an attack and invasion.
The government, is taking precau-

to begin at the topmost branch and

spray but one side of the tree,

when the breeze changes or becomes
quiet complete the spraying of the
trees. Spraying should be discontin-
ued when a strong wind is blowing;
likewise in cold, freezing weather the
wash should not be applied.

Londcn-One of the first important
naval actions of the war was fought
in Heliogoland Blight, resulting in a
smashing delivered by the British
cruisers, destroyers and submarines
against the German scouting squadron.
The net damage to the German fleet
was two cruisers and two destroyers
sunk and one cruiser set afire and last
seen in flight in sinking condition.
The officer in chief command of the
British force was RI. Adm. Sir David
Beattie, who married the daughter of
the late Marshall Field, of Chicago.

Washington.-Tw serious develop
ments in the European war situation,
so far as the United States is concern
ed, arose here.
Secretary Bryan announced to the
| representatives of European powers
| that the armored cruiser North Caro-
| lima was to be sent to Turkey with
gold for stranded Americans, who, it
has been reported, were in danger of
being massacred by the Mussulmans.
| Another announcement, in the form
of an order which was cabled to for
eign ambassadors, urged all Amer
leans to leave Europe without delay.
| While the North Carolina goes on a
mission of financial relief, her pres
ence in Turkish waters is intended to
have salutary effect with respect to
the treatment of Christians and for
eigners generally residents of the OF
| toman empire.
Before taking the step, the United
States took precautions to sound the
powers of Europe as to whether they
would object to the sending of an
| American warship to Turkey. In view
of the extreme tension which prevails
at Constantinople, and the probability
that Turkey soon will be drawn into
the European conflict, the American
] government desires to make plain
that it's purpose in sending the ship
is in no way political, but designed
only to aid and protect Americans.
France took occasion, in her reply
to the American governments inquiry,
to express approval of the purpose of
the United States to take the initiative
in sending ship to Turkish waters
for the protection of Christians, re-
marking that the sending of French

ing is the text issued by the official
press bureau:
Early in the morning concerted
operation of some consequence was
attempted against the Germans in
Heliogoland Blight. A strong force of
destroyers, supported by light. cruisers
and battle cruisers and working inscon-
junction with the submarines, inter-
cepted and attacked the German de-
stroyers and cruisers guarding the APP
proaches to the German coast. Two
German destroyers were sunk and
many damaged.
''The enemy's cruisers were engaged
/ by the British cruisers and battle
cruisers. The first light cruiser squad
ron sank Sthe Mainz, receiving only
slight damage. The first battle cruis-
er squadron sank one cruiser of the
Koeln class, and another cruiser dis
appeared in the mist, heavily on fire
and in a sinking condition. All the
German cruisers engaged were thus
| disposed of. The battle cruiser squad
ron, although attacked by submarines
and floating mines, successfully evaded
them and is unchanged. The light
cruiser squadron suffered no casual
ties. The f1otilla cruiser Amethyst and
the destroyer Laertes are damaged.
The British loss of life is reported as
not heavy"
The Importance of this raid is the
fact that the British fleet passed be-
hind Germany's heavily armed outpost
at Heliogoland Island and engaged
| with signal success the German mos
quito fleet guarding the mouth of the
| Elbe and the entrance to the Kiel
canal. The announcement from ST.
! Petersburg, that the Russian troops
| had crossed the Vistula, in Germany,
almost totally wiped out the feeling
| of pessimism under which London has
| been laboring for the past few days.
These tidings are burdened with great
| significance for the allied arms, the
! war office says.
Indications are that the allies, by
| swarming Western Prussia by the Rus
| sian hordes who are harassing the
German strength in bitter attack, with
| great success, in the northern part of
East Prussia and IN Galicia against
| the Austrians, are beginning an attack
upon the German coast in concert
| with the movement from the East in
order to divert the attention of Ger
many from the advance into France
through Belgium.
