The ferocity of the three-cornered

In the British naval bombardment
the town Of Slype, which was held
in force by the Germans, was utterly

to have taken Przemysl and turned the
Germans and Austrians back in dis
orderly rout in the ten-day battle which
has been raging along the line of the
Vistula, with 100000 men engaged.
The German army alone is said to
have lost 100000 men in the fighting
in Poland. The report of the capture
of Przemysl has not been confirmed.
The Austrian army also has won
successes against the Russians who
invaded the crown land of Bukowina,

WARS RESULT NOT TO AFFECT
tsermany Attributes Rumors to En-
,emies In Present War, Claiming
They Are Designed to lnfIu-

Washington, d. Count Berns-
forff, the German ambassador to the
United States, announced that he had
formally communicated to the Wash
ington government the determination
of Germany to respect the Monroe
doctrine, whatever the outcome of the
European war.
After considerable search his note
to the state department was discov-
cred It's text was not made public,
but its substance was communicated
TO the press by Acting Secretary
lansing, who said:
THE German ambassador on Sep
tember 3, last, in note to the de-
partment of state, stated that he was
instructed by his government TO deny
most emphatically the rumors to the
effect that Germany intends, in case
she comes out victorious in the pres
Cnt war, to seek expansion in South
America"
Discussion of the ambassador s
note was aroused by published
statement of DR.. Dernberg, former
colonial secretary of Germany, which
called attention to the fact that his
government had taken occasion to
notify the United States formally Of
the untruth of reports as to its in
tcntions in South America.
DR.. Dernberg and German officials
here attributed these rumors to Ger
many's enemies in the present war
believing they were designed to in

PLAN INVASION OF ENGLAND.

The Hague, Oct. 21.-Germany. ac-
cording to information received here
from Berlin, is preparing to deal
Great Britain decisive blow. The
scheme is to disembark several army
corps somewhere in the south of Eng
land, while the grand fleet is occu-
pied with fighting the German fleet
in the North sea.
German experts believe the plan
will be entirely successful.
According to this information, as
soon as the last resistance of the Bel
gian army is disposed of there VIII
be great movement of landsturm
troops from central Germany to Os-
tend and Zeebrugge, where they Will
await an opportunity to cross to the
English shore and march on London,
where Zeppelins and Taubes will have
caused havoc and demoraliZed the
population.
Plans Great Sea Fight.
While this is taking place Admiral
Won Ingenohl's fleet, now confined at
Wilhelmshaven will steam out into
the North sea for the great fight.
These German calculations rest on
the hypothesis that the south coast OF
England will be left absolutely with
out protection, all of Admiral Sir
John Jelicoes ships being engaged IN
the great North sea battle.
The German newspapers, by way OF
preparing public opinion for this great
stroke, publish eXtravagant dispatches
dilating on British nervousness and
the fear of unavoidable destruction by
Germany.
Germans Are impatient.
The German fleet is described as
awaiting with passionate impatience
the moment when it can make a
dash at the enemy. Prince Henry oi
Prussia is actively engaged, 1t is an

fleet, and he is continually keeping

which route it is hoped to hurl the

proceeding. Two French forts to the
south of the main fortress have capitu-

withdrawing to the greater stronghold.
The development at Belfort, coming
close upon successful operations at
Verdun and the holding of St Mihiel
against tremendous odds, is believed
here to presage the final breaking of
the republics line of defenses.
