BATTLE OF, GIANTS BEGINS.

After nearly three weeks of
mobilization, the battle of giants
has begun. Roughly speaking,
the Germans are trying to work
around the allies flank in Bel
GUM, while the French are at
tempting to apply the same pro-
cess to the Germans in Alsace.
Almost all the encounters
which have come before have
been mere reconnaissance. The
defeat of a regiment here and
there has been proclaimed as a
great victory, but in this grap-
pie of hundreds of thousands,
most of these affairs have had no
significance.
Official announcements from
both sides have been extremely
candid so far. From the stand.
point of the allies, the important
feature in Saturdays develop
ments is the great battle which
began in the morning on the Ma
muir Charleroi line. This is be-
ing fought on the position
chosen by the allies.
A German official statement
says that troops under command
of the Crown Prince of Bavaria
fighting between Metz anC
Vosges, took 10000 prisoner,
and fifty guns. 1t adds that ths
French troops opposing the Ger
mans comprised eight arm!
corps.
An Official British statemen
explains calmly that nothing re
sembling a great battle has beer
fought yet, and warns the PEG
pie against optimism.

dacy of a straight Republican
for Governor of New York, has
changed his mind and is now in
line for a straight Progressive
ticket. He Intends to make a
vigorous campaign for the Pro-
gressive nominees. While Mr..
Roosevelt had announced his in
tention of supporting the Repub-
lican candidate his change to the
Progressives comes as a surprise
and to some extent indicates that
he was not or is not yet certain
which way he should go. At

THE DEAD POPE.

The Pope Of Rome is dead.
The end came last Wednesday
morning. Grief over the war is
said to have fastened his death.
He was in his eightieth year.
The Cardinals from all over the
country will meet next month
and elect his successor, His last
public exhortation was issued
August 2, and is as follows:
"At this moment when nearly
the whole of Europe is being
dragged into the vortex of a
most terrible war, with its pres
ent dangers and miseries and the
consequences to follow, the very
thought of which must strike ev-
cry one with grief and horror,
we, whose care is the life and
welfare of so many citizens and
peoples, cannot but be deeply
moved and our hearts wrung
with the bitterest sorrow.
And in the the midst of this
universal confusion and peril we
feel and know that both fatherly
love and apostolic ministry de-
mand of us that we should with
all earnestness. turn the thoughts
of Christendom thither whence
cometh help'-to Christ, the
Prince of Peace, and the most
powerful mediator between God
and man. I'VE charge, there
tore, the Catholics of the whole
world to approach the throne of
grace and mercy, each and all of
them, and more especially the
clergy, whose duty furthermore
it will be to make in every par
ish, as their bishops shall direct,
public supplication so that the
merciful God may, as it were, be
wearied with the prayers Of His
children, and speedily remove
the evil causes of war, giving to
them who rule to think the
thoughts Of peace and not of
affection.

The watchful, waiting policy
of President Wilson has proven
its worth, and those who have
been criticizing the admins
tration's course, must now con-
cede that forbearance and peace
full means of settling trouble is
much less expensive and more
honorable than the butchery of
war. Mexico's troubles seem to
be nearing an end, and the
dawn Of peace and prosperity in
sight. The watchful waiting
policy has saved the lives of
many of Americas noble young
men, millions of our resources
and set an example of boundless
worth. The President has won
a great victory and the Amer
lean people should feel and ap-
preciate the wisdom of his
course.

The almost complete absence of
news from the theater of war
to-day is the best evidence that
big events are in progress, which
will test the real caliher of the
battalions to-day IN the new
Waterloo" or the new Sedan. "
That the great German ad-
vance is being pushed with vigor
and determination can be safely
asserted, Judging from the in
telligence permitted to the out
side world. On both banks of
the Meuse the Germans are
crowding southwark toward the
intrenched French army, wait
ing to stem their progress to-
ward Sedan and Paris.
The invaders already have
reached a line between Dinant
and Neufchateau, the latter place
being less than twenty-five miles
from Sedan as the crow flies. To
the northward their advance
troops have reached the River
Dyle, near Malines, almost mid
way between Brussels and Ant
werp. Before this northward
rush the Belgian forces are re-
firing on Antwerp. In Bressels
they call this a strategic retreat.
Whether the movement is
strategic or forced, the Germans
have gained much ground in the
direction of Brussels. Should
they, however, take advantage
of this tempting opening for a
raid on the Belgian apital they
