every kind of alarming rumors afloat Some of these telegrams ask if it is true that the German fleet has escaped into the Atlantic and whether there is danger of French towns being pombarded. To each message the ambassador sends a reassuring reply.
 Few newspapers are being published in the towns of France outside Paris and people in these towns have no means of obtaining news except from posters with summaries of events teleg1aphed from Paris to local officials. The American embassy has issued certificates to about 400. Those who> are without means are being given daily allowance from a fund the German ambassador left. Ger mans here are really regarded as prs- oners by the French authorities On each passenger train going south or west is a so-called German car, set apart for Germans who are ordered to a dis trict where they will be kept under sur veillance. The car is under military guard more for protection of Germans than to restrict their liberty

compelled the attacking force to retreat in disorder toward Maestricht on the left bank of Mouse. about IS miles north of Liege.
 Another German assault on the Cha teau Langres under cover of heavy artillery fire was defeated by the Bel ginas, who blew up the chateau.
 London. August S-t4:45 a. m.) The qualified admission of a tempor- ary setback to German arms at Liege, which comes from Berlin today, is re- hinder of the strict silence generally maintained at the German capital since war was declared.
 The only telegraphic outlet by way of Berlin. is through Amsterdam, and strict censorship permits only brief dispatches of an official character.
 The greatest indignation is mani Tested in the English press at the al- leged treatment by the Germans of English correspondents in Berlin.
 The fact that the only news from Berlin now comes through Holland has an interesting phase. Holland by per- sisting in neutrality. is exciting suspi- cion in Belgium of Dutch syspathy with Germany.

Paris, August 7-(5:15 p. m.)-United States Ambassador Herriclk today had American consular officers in France asking how many Americans in their dis tricts desire to return Immediately to the United States.

NICIPAL MATTERS DISCUSSION

Lakeland, Fla, June 10, 1914.
Editor Telegram:
Much has been said through your
valuable paper about the light and
water plant, and If | may take a
small space would like to say that
a great mistake would be made to
sell the plants, but | know the peo-
pie of Lakeland we'll enough to
know that they will not vote to in
crease the bonded Indebtedness so
long as the city's business is con-
Quoted in the loose and eXtravagant
manner that is in vogue now. The
way these things are run now re-
minds me of a little song that was
commonly sung when was boy
and all | remember of it is Zone lit
tie niger and two overseerers +" AS
to the floating Indebtedness I think
there must be a mistake about the
rate of interest being paid.
| would like the commissioners to
say whether or not the city is pay
ing s per cent interest, and if so
why they are paying this rate.
