Belgium Is Swarm
ingWith Germans.
SWEEPING ALONG
VALLEY OF MEUSE
French Claim to Have Defeat
ed Advance Guard.

London, Aug. 17.-Despite the re-
peated repulses which they have suf-
fered the German battalions continue
to move forward for a decisive en-
counter, which cannot be delayed
much longer.
While there has been lull in the
fighting in Northern Belgium the in
vaders are sweeping along the valley
of the Meuse, south of Namur, and
have reached Dinant, where part of
strong French force, which is es-
tablshed behind that town, took the
offensive and defeated them.
The incident shows that the French
crossed the Belgian frontier to join
hands with their allies not a moment
too soon. All along the Alsace-Lor-
raine frontier the advance guards of
the two opposing armies have come
into contact and, according to French
official reports, the Germans have
been driven back everywhere with
loss.
Strong French forces are now in
possession of all the passes of the
Vosges mountains, from the west as
far as those leading down to Colmar.
Further south French forces are
ready to proceed over the fiat country
toward Muelhausen.
The French have taken the often
sive along the line from Luneville to
Sarrebourg, on the German frontier,
but here, as in the other theaters of
war, the main armies have not come
into contact
On the Austro-Servian and Austro-
Russian frontiers both sides report
victories in encounters. But these can
have little effect on the general result
unless the Servians compel the Aus
trians to send stronger forces in an
attempt to subdue them.
Austria is preparing to resist an
attack on her shores of the Adriatic,
which possibly will be undertaken by
the joint Anglo-French fleet.
1t is explained that the state of
siege which has been proclaimed in
Bulgaria is simply a precautionary
measure so that the country will be
prepared in case of emergency.

AMERICAN CRUISERS
ARRIVE AT FALMOUTH

Falmouth, Eug, Aug. 1.-THE Unit
ed States cruisers Tennessee and
North Carolina dropped anchor in Fall
mouth harbor. The North Carolina
reached port about half an hour be-
fore her sister ship.
Scores of boats quickly swarmed
around the cruiser, their occupants
cheering and waving handkerchiefs.
When some of the Americans landed
the people greeted them warmly and
told them that had due notice been
given of their coming they would have
received formal and most cordial
welcome.
The Tennessee has on board more
than $5,000,000 in gold, small amount
of which will be distributed in Lon
don. The remainder is destined for
the continent to help stranded Atneri-
cans there to return home.

.SERV|ANS BATTLE
100000 AuS7R|ANS

London, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Reuter- Telegram company from Nish.
Aug. 13, sent by way of Athens, gives
the Servian official account of the
recent fighting on the frontier.
-Four hundred thousand Austrians,"
says the war Office, attacked the
Servians. A fierce battle extended
all along the line. Finally the Aus
TRANS were repulsed with heavy cas-
ualties toward Tekia, on the Rou-
manian frontier; and also repulsed
from Belgrade, where they had at
tempted to cross the Danube, but
through numerical superiority the
enemy succeeded in crossing the
Save"
The Servians are concentrating for
big engagement.

war of self-preservation. Remove that
danger in future by destruction of
Russian ambition, and Germany's
ways and hopes will be all of peace.
"Throughout forty years the Ger
man people have been making steady
progress toward democratic govern
ment. The people of Germany now
have more political liberty than ever
before. Even the most radical social
lists admit that. And during twenty
six of these years the present kaiser
has been on the throne.
I'm all these twenty.six years, the
kaiser has never been at war. More
than once he has preserv ID the peace
of Europe and would have succeeded
in maintaining it now had it not been
for the determination of the car to
seize the opportunity to use his ally
catspaw of the west to stop revolu-
ton at home and UNNECESSARILY
strengthen Russia abroad.
IF the kaiser had been the war lord
so many Americans are fond of pic
turing him, only awaiting convenient
opportunity to start a campaign of
aggression and acquisition, it is
strange that he took no advantage of
the Boer war or the Russo-Japanese
war, but steadily stood for peace.
Emperor Williams ambition has
been to leave behind him a greater,
richer, more prosperous, happier Ger
many. Hence he has opposed war.
He has been accused of vanity-it is
easy to say such things about any
great, strong man. But we Germans
know that the kaiser has always con-
sidered his greatness was the great
ness Of Germany. 1t is also easy to
say Germany seeks territorial con-
quest, wants to rule the world and
set up Teutonic empires oversee. But
after the war of 1866, in which Ger
many defeated Austria in a few days,
Germany could have taken all the ter.
ritory she wanted, but took nothing,
and Austria has been her friend ever
since.

Cruel Lies are Circulated to Influence

lin Minneapolis JOurnal.)
The Hague, Holland, Aug. 17.-Cut
off entirely from communication with
the world, Germany is meeting the
problems of the war quietly and with
determination. Because of the inter-
ruption of telegraphic and cable serv-.
ice, the lines having been cut by the
enemy, many utterly false reports
have been circulated. AS an evidence
Of how complete is the isolation, the
death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was
not known at the German capital
when I left there Thursday night.
And many Of the stories solemnly cir
culated broadcast regarding happen
ings within Germany are absolutely
false.
Llebknecht's Death Branded False.
One Of the most cruel is that the
socialistic. delegation i'm the reichstag
has been executed-100 of them-by
the order Of the kaiser because they
participated in anti-war demonstra.
tons. This story also says that Dep
uty Liebknecht, leader of the social
lists, was summarily shot by firing
squad after he had refused to join his
regiment and that Rosa Luxembourg,
whose stories of alleged cruelties to
the German common soldier by his su-
perior officers, resulted in her arrest
some months ago, had also been shot
after courtmartial 49,.
These stories are absolute lies. Not
a single socialist has been shot. Not
one has been arrested. Liebknecht Is
fighting for the fatherland, as are hun

course, was able to dictate terms, but
took only Alsace, formerly German,
and part of Lorraine, simply for
protection as buffer provinces. In
victory Germany has been 50 moder-
ate that it is idle to accuse her of
landlust.
"The German people saw this war
afar off; they are not surprised that
it has come. They have known that
sooner or later they would be COM
PEELED to fight for their existence.
Now they are unanimously behind the
government. They realize the serious
ness of the crisis and are prepared to
make every sacrifice necessary"

dreds Of thousands of other socialists.
Says Socialists Are at Front.
Eleven of the socialist members Of
the reichstag are at the front. The
attitude Of the party in the present
crisis is best shown by the action of
one Of their most noted leaders, who
has been released after serving SEN
tence of one year for making an anti
militaristy speech. He has issued an
appeal to all members of the party to
rush to the colors and to aid In saw
ing the fatherland:
Rally to Aid Of FatherIand.
There has not been an anti-war So
cialfst demonstration in any part of
Berlin since three days before the first
declarations of war. It was not until
then that the socialists realized that
war was inevitable. Since then they
have accepted the outcome and have
loyalty rallied to the aid of their coun.
try.
Gerard Diligently Aiding Americans.
Another story given circulation was
that Ambassador Gerard had attended
meetings held to celebrate German
victories. This is without foundation
The American ambassador has taken
absolutely no part in any happening OF
Ia political nature. He and Mrs. Ger.
ard have been working eighteen hours
a day caring for the Americans who
are in Germany and who so far have
been unable to get out of the country
Gerard's cablegrams to Washington
which he sent by way of Stockholm
have been interfered with after cross
ing the German frontier and he has
made vigorous representations to Sec
rotary Bryan because of this. The
ambassador is not only taking care
Of his own nation, but also of those OF
Great Britain, France and Russia. He
has received perfect cooperation from
the German government and from the
municipality of Berlin. So we'll has
Chief Burgomaster Warmth cooper
ated with the ambassador, and person

neutral states stand in the way Of
the peace of Europe is now being DEM
onstrated. They are defended to
weaken united Germany and the I'M
ion of the Teutons. If three or four
neutral states were cut out of the ter
ritory of the wealthiest and best for
titled sections occupied by the
French, Russian, or English people,
they also would be weakened, per-
haps more than the Germans have
been. Give all the Teutons a fair
chance first, and then try the Slavs,
as the Romance nations had their
turn. That is all they want. Later
try all the Slavs. There is no coun-
try purer German than Holland. It is
purer than Prussia or any other Ger
man land. It's blood is not mixed with
foreign elements. Luxembourg is Ger
man. OF the 3,741,971 people in
Switzerland 2,599,154 speak German,
796,244 French, 301,325 Italian and
565,296 are foreigners. The French
and English have encouraged the Ger
mans of Belgium to become French
men. But-that proved to be an i'm
possibility. According to the census
of Belgium in 1910 it appears that the
French cannot crush the Germans by
their socalled superior culture. Today
still 3,220,662 Belgians speak Flem-
ish only, or Platt-German, 1888, 1874
speak French only, 31,415 High Ger
man only, 871,288 Flemish and
French, 1893 German and French,
1852 German and Flemish, 52,547
speak all three languages. Antwerp,
the largest city of Belgium and Eu-
ropes best harbor is German. Its
population is 312,SS4, Brussels, the
capital, is the second city in size
with 100000 people in the city proper
and 663,641 including the suburbs or
eight distinct communes. Liege is
the strongest fortified city, French.
and the third city in size with 170,-
634 people. Namur is small city of
32,453 people.
Germany is Belgium's best custom
er. In 1912 the value Of Belgium's
export to Germany was 1907, 469
francs, to France 1894, to Great
Britain 594,625, to the United States
145,128, to Holland 367,599 and to
Russia 83,496 francs. Why is this
little German nation made the battle
field of Western Europe?
In Eastern Europe the war is also
raging before the eyes of eight hum
dred million people Of Asia. The TO-

HAS NATURAL ADVANTAGES.

In this country the majority of non.
professional observers look upon Ger
many, hemmed in by wall of enc
mics, as doomed to almost certain de-
feat. Figures in last weeks Literary
Digest place the combined land forces
of Germany and Austria-Hungary at
100000 men, and those of France,
England, and Russia at 10,600,O00. In
naval units the Triple Entente out
numbers the Dual Alliance 1893 to
401. Against Germany's numerical in
feriority, some authorities remind us,
may be balanced her greater pre-
paredness for the conflict and her
more efficient military organization.
And Professor Roland G. Usher, au-
thor of volume entitled "Pan.Ger-
manism," argues that while Ger
many's central position would be
weak for a nation on the defensive, it
possesses enormous advantages for a
Power taking the aggressive. He
says: s

points of northern Europe-Alsace-
Lorraine, the door to France: the
Kiel Canal, giving her access to the
Baltic without exposing herself to
the necessity Of utilizing the Sund.
Her allies hold the Swiss passes and
the vital points affording passage in
to Russia and the Balkans.
"Everything vital to Germany-in.

compact territorial unit, which can
be defended with the minimum force
and the maximum ease. She has no

guard, no great stretches of land in
Africa or Asia to protect, no subject

Moroccans. Literary Digest.
