LONDON, Aug. 10. - Especial
Cablegram to New York World and
Omaha Bee.) - England tonight
awaits news OF great happenings at
sea and on land, where the forces
and those of her allies are in contact
with the enemy.
Official Information received today
has led to the hope that the German
fleet has taken the offensive. as was
expected II would when the first de-
cisive land battle impended.
Everything points to the probable
ity that the allied armies of England,
France and Belgium are in a death
grapple with the kaiser's army of the
Mouse, which has advanced from
Liege in the direction of Brussels.
Allies Equal Invaders.
The allied troops are believed to be
at least equal In numbers TO the Ger
man force and confidence is felt that
they will be able not merely TO check,
bat to push back and perhaps smash
the invading army.
Should the event equal this antiei-
patton, the right wing OF the huge
German line, in which 100000 men
are said to be stretched over a dis
lance OF $50 miles, will have been
broken and rolled back, leaving the
armies in Luxembourg and on the
Moselle, which are In daily outpost
contact with the French forces, oper-
ating from the fortresses Of Verdun.
Nancy and Epinal as bases, in a pre-
carious situation.
So serious does the German dilemma
appear that. it Is said. there is reason to
believe tonight that the kaiser's troops
will not even attempt to give battle in
Belgium, but will withdraw and fall bacl:
on the center c. the line.
British Court Sea fight.
The prospect Of sea fight is looked
forward to calmly, though there is no at
tempt to underrate the courage or fight
ing capacity of the GeIman fleet 1t is
recognised that, with powerful and
numerous squadron of submarines and an
aerial escort OF Zeppelin bomb troopers.
the German navy may, with luck on it's
side, concordance in large measure the
overwhelming numerical and gun pre-
ponderanee of the British ships.
But the silence of the admiralty, the
repeated warnings TO fishermen and tho
general feeling that Germany will at
tempt to strike at once on sea and land
leads to the belief that a battle is immi-
nent In the North sea. I,
Englishmen have lost none of their pride
and confidence in their navy, and are
firm In the conviction that In gunHery,
seamanship and other qualities the Brit
fish navy will maintain its Traditions when
IL meets the German fleet. That there
will be heavy losses in men and. ships is
expected, but England 10 ready to pay
the price of victory
Greatest Land Battle of History,
The land struggle, 1t is believed will
be the greatest ever fought in the history
OF war.
Nor are the stakes any less than have
been fought for in any human contest
since history began. For the map of
Europe will be changed when peace settles
down again over the continent

"The fighting which started on August
II was continued on August - under
thrilling conditions for the French 1t
may be summed up as follows
The first phases was an attack on two
French battalions by German forces
greatly superior In number. The two
French battalions fell back. but being
reinforced during the night, assumed the
offensive well supported by artillery.
This counter attack caused the Ger
mans 10 retreat precIpitately leaving be-
hind them large number OF KILLED,
wounded and prisoners.
The Germans abandoned a battery OF
artillery, three machine guns and several
wagon loads OF ammunition.
The French troops followed up their
advantage and on Wednesday a French
battery surprised the Twenty-first Baden
dragon regiment while the men were
dismounted. In a few minutes the regi-
ment was destroyed
German Troops stopped.
The effect OF this double success was
Immediately perceptible Not only was

troops. stopped. but their columns fell

IN the course OF this pursuit the French

wounded in the fight on August H.
Mine German officers ana one thousand
wounded men fep into the French hands
as prisoners.
The poor quality Of the projectiIes
used by the German heavy artillery was
convincingly demonstrated during the
bombardment OF Pont-A-Mousson. More
than 100 shells containing enormous
charges OF explosives weighing altogether
20 pounds each were fired from a battery
OF q centimetre moTtars at a distance OF
about Ga miles. The total result Of this
avalanche OF iron explosives was four
killed and twelve wounded In the town. )"

BEAUTIES OF THE slERRAs

Here with bread and water I should
be content. Even If not allowed to
roam and climb, tethered TO a stake
or tree in some meadow or grove,
even then / should be content forever
Bathed in such beauty, watching the
expressions every varying on the
faces of the mountains, watching the
stars, which here have a glory that
the lowlander never dreams of, watch
ing the circling seasons, listening to
the songs Of the waters and winds
and birds, would be endless pleasure.
And what glorious cloudlands would
see, storms and calms-a new heaven
and new earth every day, aye, and
new inhabitants. And how many visi-
tors ] would have. feel sure would
not have one dull moment. And why
should this appear extravagant. 1t is
only common sense, a sign of health,
genuine natural all-awake health. One
would be at an endless Godful play.
