HALIFAX, August 6.-Completing in four days and ten hours her fast est and most dramatic voyage across the atlantic, the mammoth Cunarder Mauretania. from Liverpool for New York, arrived in Halifax with 24OO passengers, most of whom were Americans fleeing from war-ravaged Europe. Wednesday night off Sable island the British cruiser Essex flashed a wireless warning for the Mauretania to change her course without delay and flee from hostile cruisers to Halifax.
 Under the highest pressure of her turbine engines, with all ports blank eted and not a light showing. she sped over the 40 miles which lay between her and safety from German cruisers. Behind her came the Es- sex, whose searchlights could be seen flashing all night across the horizon as she scanned the waters for the enemy.

 The Mauretania sailed from Liver pool at 4:55 D. m, August 1, amid the utmost excitement. Many would be passengers were left behind on the piers. From the moment the big liner left British shores, her officers were on the alert, and Halifax was held in mind as an alternative port in case of emergency.
 In the midst of a fog off Sable Island a wireless from the Essex gave urgent warning to make full speed for Halifax. At that time the Cunarder was 3S0 miles from New York and 40 from this port
 Lurking somewhere in the darkness of the fog was a German cruiser, but guarding the lanes of steamship tra- vel were British warships warning liners by wireless where danger iurked.

Torpedo Boat Sinks Mine Laying Vessel - England Aroused by War, Makes Gigantic Strides Under Kitchener's Leadership
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

LONDON, August 6.-The British fleet has engaged the German fleet on the high seas. The British war ships are reported to be driving the Germans toward the Dutch coast.
 The press association claims it was informed of the fleet action by the admiralty. which now refuses to af- firm or deny that a battle is in progress.
 An admiralty report says the Brit ish cruiser Amphion was sunk by striking q mine Paymaster J. T.. Gedge and 130 men were lost. The captain, sixteen officers and 135 men were saved. The mine was probably laid by the Koenigin Louise before II was sunk by the Lance.
 The British torpedo boat destroyer Lance was the hero of the first naval engagement of the war. sinking the Hamburg American liner Koenigin Louise which had been fitted out for mine laying.
 The Lance only fired four shots. The fist destroyed the bridge of the steamer, the third and fourth tore away the stern, and the steamer sank in six minutes The Lance res .. cued twenty eight of the German crew. Several wounded Germans had arms and legs shot away. None of the Lanee's crew were injured. The Koenigin Louise was caught laying mines sixty miles from Harwich
 The passage of the war budget of a half billion by the house of com mnos, and the granting of an army increase of a half million men in accordance with the plans of Lord Kitchener, the new minister of war. shows that England is in deadly ear nest.
 The call to arms issued by the war office says that an addition of 10000 men to the regular army is needed immediately and that Lord Kitchene. is confident this appeal will be at once answered by all who have the safety of the empire at heart. The terms of service to new men are three years or until the war is ended. The naval estimates provide for G. 900 additional officers and men, which will make the naval strength 2lS,000 men.
 There is no illusion in England that the war is certain to be swift and decisive. The people have settled down for long and exhaustive struggle. The admiralty notified the public tonight that the first naval news might not be good news Swift upon the heels of this intimation came the tiding that the cruiser Amphion had been sunk by a mine with the loss of an officer and 13C nen-Great Britain's first sacrifice to the war.

 Six transports may prove enough. but negotiations are still in progress for ships owned by neutral foreign nations. The state department will designate ports of call for relief yes sels. American ambassadors and ministers will make prompt arrange ments for transportation from inter- for points to these ports.
 Secretary Bryan is encouraged by word that the Bank of England will not suspend gold payments He re- ceived this message from Secretary Barclay in charge of the British em bassy here:
 The chancellor of the exchequer thinks it will not be necessary for the Bank of England to suspend pay ments in gold; and there will be nc failure of credit. Bankers consider themselves able to resume the or dinary course of business tomorrow
 This is taken to mean that Ameri cans in England who hold travellers checks. letters of credit and other properly certified means of credit will find immediate relief.
 Bryan received word from St Petersburg that there are only about two hundred Americans in that city Americans throughout the Russian empire will be brought to the capito and sent to some neighboring neu- tral nation. probably Sweden.

At This City, Dispatches to America Report, First Great Battle of the I'm pending War May Be Fought
IS BIG OBSTACLE
 TO THE GERMANS
May Prove Stumbling Block to the Apparent Plan of the Germans to Cut Across the Lower Half of Belgium
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The strategic points of Liege the Belgian city before which the German advance is reported to have been checked, and where, ac- cording to European dispatches the first great battle of the impending war may be fought, are numerous. Prlncl- Dallv it is the most strongly fortified obstacle to the supposed plan of Ger many to cut across the lower half of Belgium. For miles to the southwest of the city. along the banks of the river Mouse there are scores of blast furnaces, pudding furnaces, rolling mills and forges. It is the site of the famous Cockerill works, said to be the largest manufactory of machinery in the world.
 Liege proper. with a population of 16S, 900 lies at the junction of the Mouse and Curthe, in a basin margined by hills Many handsome buildings and gardens strive to keep themselves handsome against tremendous odds Of coal dust. All around the city and river these natural riches, in connec-
  the city at the junction of two navi gable rivers. have given rise to an eX- tensive manufacturing industry in the city itself.
 The products are varied, but the principal one. that which makes Liege valuable prize in war. is that of fire arms More than 20,OO0 persons in in the manufacture Of arms ranging from small arms to the largest and most modern weapons There is a royal cannon factory and a small arm fac tory also in the suburb of St. Leonard.
 In the wars of the last century Liege played only a small part But with prospects of siege today the city finds itself well defended with modern forti- ficatons It's strength. it is said, is far greater than has generally been appreciated by military strategists
 In 1888 the Belgian authorities de- cdcd to adequately fortify both Liege and Namur. two important points on the Mouse and at each place a number of detached forts were constructed along perimeter drawn at a distance varying from within four to six miles from the city. At Liege twelve of these forts were constructed. six on the right bank and six on the left side of the river.
 All the forts have been kept fairly well up to date. The heavy guns. in their concrete easements. are raised and lowered automatically. The names of the forts on the right bank of the river are Barchon, Evegnee, Fleron, ChauCfontaine Embourg and Boncel- les. The average distance between the forts is four miles. but Fleron and Chaudfontaine are separated by a lit He over a mile in a direct line, as they defend the main line of the railway from Germany
 The six forts on the left bank, also commencing at the north and around the western curve are Pontisse. Liers Lantin. Loncin, Hollogne and Flemalle | It has been estimated by military au- thorities that 25,00O men would be necessary for the adequate defense of | these Qualifications.

Britain Issues Proclamation Defining

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Great Fri tain's contraband of war proclamation was cabled to the state department by Ambassador Page. It placed arms. am munition and all distinctly military goods on the list as absolute" contra band, and designated food, grain, money, horses and general supplies as conditional contraband. Everything under the latter head becomes subject to seizure when intended for use by a power with whom Great Britain is at war. The proclamation follows the us ual lines and those issued by other powers involved in the war will prob ably be virtually the same.
