LOSS J IS
$4,000

London, Aug. An ex-
change telegraph company's
dispatch from Brussels says
the German troops at Liege &C.
gnowledge a loss of Is, 900 men.
The agency says this esti-
mate is official. Another dis
patch to the same company,
also from Brussels, says the
French army has now entered
Belgium, and has advanced
well into the country to meet
the Germans.
This is the startling news sent to
King Albert by the Belgian command
ers tonight and made public at the
war office. So serious is the German
loss that the army board here does
not believe there will be another gen.
eral assault until the German artillery
has made a hole in the fortif1cations.

Harbor at Midnight.

New York, Aug. Al a. m.-ThiTty min
utes after midnight, the hour set for

tire Immediately and extinguish their
lights. The crew was said to be pre-
pared to take extra precautions to pre-
vent a ray of light escaping from any
where on the vessel
oficers denied that efforts were being
made to disguise the type of the ship,
but passengers said the precautions ap-
peared to be as complete as IL the Lusi-
tania were to run a blockade.

by British capitalists, carried g, first
class, 100 seeond-class, and 80 steerage
passengers. She has a capacity of 600
