BY The United Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 15.-Be-
yond the bare announcement that the
first line Of reserves have been COM
pletely mobilized, all information re-
garding the army operations have
been withheld by the general staff.
1t is not even known in which way
the various army corps have been
dispatched as with the railroads CON
nected for nter-communicating traf-
fc, the direction in which any body
of troops originally started means
nothing.
II is known that an enormous army
is operating against the Austrians
through the styr valley and along
the Dneister river. Claims made by
the War Office are that in the initial
fighting the Austrian frontier was
penetrated and the main army is
well on its way to Lemberg, capital
of Austrian Galicia But actual de-
tails OF the movement. or just where
the army is located are withheld
Other troops are moving against the

French PRESS ON
With STRASSBURG.
As Prize Ahead.
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS.
United Press STAFF Corresn0rAent


PARIS, Aug. 15.--The French have
taken the offensive all through the
Vosges mountains. Desperate resis-
tance Is being encountered, but the
French advance continues to move
slowly forward and war Office officials
foresee the investment OF Strassburg
early next week That is the objec-
tive Of the French offensive in Alsace.
The former, capital Of Alsace-Lor-
raine is strategically located at ex-
actly the base desired by the general
star for its campaign into Germany.
Its capture would arouse the widest
enthusiasm everywhere in France and
would be accepted as an indication
that the lost provinces are again
coming home
While details of the fighting are
Withheld the general staff claims the
army now holds all OF the passes
through the vosges and have mount
ed improved artillery at every point
Of advantage. In the fighting which
has now continued for more than a
week the losses on both sides have
been very heavy. The French army
chiefs, however, maintain that the
Germans have suffered most.
The Germans have admittedly been
handicapped by the inferiority of their
ammunition. Hundreds of their ex-f
plosive shells, which were expected to
cause terrible havoc in the French
ranks, have proved ineffective and
have failed to explode. In addition,
the French are claimed to have shown
marked superiority on the offensive.
II is declared that the German col
umns, while fighting magnificently at
long range, have failed to stand up
against the bayonet charges Of the
French infantry.
The German advance was very
slowly but surely moving against the
Belgian front today. 1t will be two
or three days before the real battle
develops as the Belgians will slowly
fall back on the defensive lines along
the front Of Brussels where the al
lied armies are now entrenched
awaiting the assault. The Germans
realize the strength Of the army in
front and will not attack in force until !
their entire reserves are in position
but the next two days are certain TO I
be marked with constant skirmishing /
gradually increasing in strength until /
the entire armies are engaged
The War Office continues to remain +,
mute concerning happenings In the 4
neighborhood Of Longwy and Mont
nedy, but it is known that the Ger 4
mans are present there in force and +
an organized advance will not long
be delayed.

Deserters report that the stubborn de-
fcnse Of Liege has completely disheart-
cncd the German attacking force. Il is
claimed that last night in the series Of
desperate charges against the forts on
the left bank Of the Meusc, entire regi-
ments were wiped out by the rain Of
explosives from the forts and that the
ground Immediately in front Of the
forts was literally covered with dead
and wounded So terrible were the
losses, it is said, that German oiicers
and men, made insane BY their futile
attempt TO carry the positions by
storm, jumped into the Meuse and were
drowned.
The report persist here that General
Won Immich. in command Of the entire
operations at Liege, killed himself when
he found that the forts resisted the ef.
forts Of his men to capture them.
Prisoners declare that he is dead and
that he has been succeeded by General
Barwiz. But whether Won Emmich was
killed in action or killed himself is
something that the War Office here pro-
fesses to be unable TO clear up.
II Is also confirmed that General
Won Buelow, brother Of the former
German Imperial Chancellor, was
killed while leading an attack on the
Liege forts
That the German commissary de-
partment utterly failed in the test and
that this is the chief reason why the
general advance is still delayed is
stated by Belgian officials familiar
with the situation. They declare that
so anxious we're the officers TO get
their commands to the front that they
sacrificed equipment and that the
long trains laden with food supplies
we're sidetracked and left behind.
Now the infantry is halted until food
supplies can be brought to the con-
centration camps being established in
the rear Of the main German army.

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-Germany's
reconnaissance have now explored
Belgian territory thirty miles into the
interior from Liege. more than halt
way to Brussels. The curtain behind
which the Kaiser's skirmishers-in-
force have penetrated forms almost a
perpendicular from north to south
through Herenthals, Aerschot, Tirle-
mont and Namur The first three
towns are important railway centers
and Namur guarding the allies right.
IS probably by this time better forti-
fed than Liege
Brussels is twenty miles to the rear
and about in the center of this line.
Somewhere between Brussels and
the acknowledgements -Tirlemont-
Namur curtain. the allies have CON
centrated their main Belgian forces
while their outposts are trying to
check the German efforts to discover
the secret.
North and west OF the Meuse and
cast Of the Herenthals-Namur line
is now practically frontier territory
except for the Liege forts. II seems
probable the great battle, when it be-
gins, will not be in this district, un-
less same tactical error by the Ger
mans causes the allies to leap for
ward on the offensive. Otherwise the
field doubtless will be within twen-
ty miles east Of Brussels.
It is a principle of modern warfare
that victories are won by offensive and
not defensive movements. Nevertheless
the allies cannot afford to atfempt to
turn the tables on Germany and change
their defensive attitude in Belgium into
an offensive one. The higher strategy
must take into consideration Russia's
slow mobilization, and the tremendous
advantage Of delaying Gcrmany's west
ern advance.
Inc risk Of victory of course is greater
than the risk Of drawn battle. The
latter, at this stage of the war would
be almost rs disastrous to Germany as
a defeat, because of the time given to
the slow moving Slavs TO draw their
lines about the German eastern frontier.
Thus, a defensive Belgian campaign for
the moment is excellent strategy for the
allies.
The news from Diest that the stand
ard of the Death Head Hussars has
been captured confirms the report that
the Russian frontier has been denuded
OF the first line fighters. The headquar-
ters OF the Deaths Head Hussars is
Posen, one of the main centers OF the
defcnses against Russia. The Deaths
Head Hussars is the Kaiscr's favorite |
regiment. II has been given traditional |
ly the motto: Never taken prisoners"

II may be pardoned for making the
suggestion that II the civic bodies through

the railroads they would not only be
doing n good stroke for the business In

roads are now the victims of several dis
honest practices at the hands OF the Gov
eminent, and I have yet to hear from
any commercial body putting forth con-
