Increase of 421 Per Cent in l 5
Years for Queens.

Ietin issued by the Chamber Of Com
mere of the Borough of Queens has an
interesting article on the growth OF troll

an important factor in its development
by providing cheaper transportation not

A Million Germans Hurrying
to Cross the Border
Into France
A MILLION FRENCH
SOLDIERS TO RESIST
First Battle Of War Is Begun
and May Prove De-
cisive One

Brussels, Aug. 3.-The main portion
of the German army in Belgium had
reached the River Meuse, ten miles
northeast of Liege, today.
Belgian troops were refraining from
firing on the invaders
Antwerp was under martial law.
News from the frontier indicated
that the German plan was to combine
the two armies which were approaching
France, one through Belgium and Lux
umburg and the other from Metz, and
to stretch their, lin all the way from
Longway, where the German and
French advance guards were already
engaged, southeast to Grey, distance
of about 200 miles.
1t was reported that in preliminary
fight at Grey Sunday the Germans suf.
fered reverse but this story lacked
confirmation.
France was understood to be rushing
forward force of about 100000 men
to resist the invaders, and it was be-
lieved here that the Longway- Grey en-.
counter would develop into the first
great and perhaps the decisive battle OF
the Franco-German campaign.
Much Indignation was expressed here
at the German disregard of Belgium 4
and Luxemburg's neutrality. The Ger
mans, however, paid no heed to protests
but pushed their advance with the ut
most energy.

RACES ON
LAND AND SEA AND
in THE SKIESABOYE
(By Ed L. Keen.)

London, Aug. Germany Austria Hungary, Russia,
France, Servla and Montenegro were at war today.
Fighting ragged on land and sea.
In England an army and navy mobilization order had
been issued.
Between Germany Austra-H Hungary, Russia and Ser
via formal declarations of hosttes had been exchanged
The Germans appeared to have attacked France with
out troubling to declare war; Indeed their ambassador
still in Paris and the French minister was in Berlin
Montenegro also joined Servia in resisting Austria
Hungary without formal announcement of its intention
to fight
England's declaration against Germany was expected
hourly.
For what promised to be the first great land battle and
perhaps the decisive Of the France German campaign
the stage was already being set.
Regardless of their neutrality one million German
troops pouring through Belgium and Luxembourg to-
ward the French frontier. Another German army was
hurrying toward the point where German French and
Swiss frontiers join.
Basle, in Switzerland already said to have been
occupied by the kasers troops Several Belgian towns
had also been seized The main body of the German force
in Belgium had reached the River Meuse.
The vanguard of this force joining with the advance
detachments of third army, moving from Metz, had al
ready crossed the border into France and engaged the
French troops at Longwy.
The French line promised speedily to stretch from this
town to the village of Grey about 100 miles the south
east
To oppose the kasers invaders about an equal number
of Frenchmen were being pushed to the front,

JAPAN PREPARING
FLEET FOR SERVICE
.Iill Protect British Shipping in ORR
entail Waters-Martial Law Declared
by Germans at Kaio Chau.

Toxic, Aug. 3.-The japanese admir-
ality was preparing its fleet for service
the moment news was received of any
attack by Germany or its allies on
British shipping or interests in oriental
waters. Whatever happened, it was
considered UNLIKELY that Japan would
have any land fighting to do but the
services of the fleets would be required
was deemed quite probable
AT KaiO Chau, German possession
on the Chinese coast, martial law had
been declared and all foreigners had
been ordered to leave. German, Aus
trian and even Italian shipping despite
the suppositiOn that Italy will remain
neutral, was gathering at Using Tschau,
KaiO Chau's port.
The British Asiatic squadron was
concentrating at Hongkong.
The American and japanese naval
authorities at shanghai and elsewhere
up and down the China coast were CO.
operating in arrangements to protect
foreigners in China.
