PARIS. September 6.
The fact that the German forces are
moving of to the eastward OF Paris in
dicates that the Germans realize that a
siege of Paris or even it's occupation
will avail them little while the allied
army is unbroken in the field.
Before devoting themselves 10 the
costly task of an assault on the de-
fences of the capital they apparently
intend to make another attempt to in
f,ict so crushing a defeat on the French
and British forces that further resist

every preparation has now been made.

The Admiralty has ordered the North
Sea closed to all navigation. The notice
adds:
"All aids to navigation on the east
coasts OF England and Scotland may

warning than il contained in this

The action OF the Admiralty is
ascribed partially to the capture OF
fifteen fishing boats by German war
ships and to the continued laying Of
floating mines in the North Sea by the
Germans. But 1t also Is believed here
that the British feet is preparing to

ROME. Sept. 6.-Intense feeling has

by reports that Italian citizens have
been killed in Austria on accusations
that they had sought TO stir up civil
strife.
The provinces in which the Incidents
are reported TO have occurred arc popu-

say that no opportunity was given the
accused persons to prove their inno-
cence but that they were executed by
the military authorities.
The Italian newspapers are protest.

Austrian authorities and many believe
that the feeling OF resentment IN Italy
will cause the Government to renounce
it's neutrality and enter the field against
