Washington. Apr. l0.-Omcials
here last night we're gravely anxious
for the safety OF foreign property In
the Tampico district. where valuable
oil plants already have been destroy
ed and other properties valued az mil
lions are threatened by Mexican con-
stitutionalist and federal shells. Dis
patches yesterday told OF the burn

few days and as a consequence. shell

Rear-Admiral Mayo's suggestion
that an army transport be sent TO
Tampico TO harbor refugees probably
will not cause official action in Wash

said at the navy department that the
marines on the transport Pairie az

The fate of the 700 and more Span
ish exiles from Torreon who made
their entry into Ell Paso Wednesday
has not yet been determined by state
department. officials, who incline to
the opinion that the problem is one
for the immigration authorities. For
the time being the exiles apparently
are dependen. upon the bounty OF
the people OF FL Paso and the Red
Gross, which yesterday called upon
its FL Paso chapter to report fully as
to the needs of the refugees. The
state department through Agent Car
others at Ell Paso and Juarez Is still
endeavoring to obtain protection of
their rights. and redress for their
grievances against the constitutional
list government.
A meager report yesterday from
the border, saying 1900 men had re-
newed fighting east of Torreon. left
war department officials more than
ever doubtful as TO the probable out

city. No details came as to the ou.-
come of the renewed hostilities.

GERMAN EXPECTATIONS OF VIC
TORY ON ANNIVERSARY DAY
CHECKED BY ALLIES.
While Driving Steadily Forward at
Some Points They Are Being Held
Back at Others.

London, Sept 2.-1:05 a.m.-The
forty-fourth anniversary of Sedan and
the beginning of the fifth week of
the war in western Europe, finds the
German armies stf fighting for a
road to Paris. The second great bat
tie In the western theatre of the war
and a battle which promises to de-
eide the course of that war. has been
progressing for more than three days.
That fact is almost the sum total of
the KNOWLEDGE whicA Great Britain
and France tonight have in course
of might events.
The battle is being fought by the
Germans to turn the left flank of the
allied armies.
That the Germans have pushed
back the French and British forces
on that flank to certain extent is
revealed by official French announce
ments. They say that the German
advance has been at an enormous
cost of lives and energy and the
French and English are asking wheth-
er the German army is not becoming
exhausted by it's heavy losses.
The allies claim they maintain an
excellent organization and that their
troops are in the best of spirits. They
AZ so claim that the offensive cam
paign they are maintaining means
that the Germans are throwing them
selves against wall which has
yielded but has the advantages of pO-
sition and strategy on its side.

United States to protest against al
legged German atrocities IN the war
zone read an address to King George
at buckingham palace today setting
forth some of the happenings in the
present campaign. The address also
thanked the king for England's .aid
against the Germans.
The address in part reads:
"Sir, Belgium, having hadI 10
choose between the sacrifice of her
honor and the peril of war, did not
hesitate. She opposed the brutar az
gression committed by power
which was one of the guarantors o.
her neutrality. In this critical situa-
tion it is for our country an estim15le
tower of strength to see coming reso-
lutte and immediate Intervention by
great and powerful England.
Commissioned by his majesty. the
king of the Belgians, with a mission
to the president of the United States,
we considered it our duty to make a
stay in the capital of the British EN-
pire to convey to your majesty re-
spectful and ardent expression of the
gratitude of the Belgian nation"
The address referred to King
Georges message to King Albert and
the cooperation of the British land
and sea forces.

mination of the Belgian nation,
forced to go to war for the protection
of her institutions and her hearths.
In this respect she will be desirous
of bringing to bear the care which is
imposed on each nation by internS
tional convention and conscience.
"Our adversary after invading our
territory, has deciminated the civil.
population, massacred women and
children, carried into captivity inof-
fensive peasants, put to death the
wounded, destroyed undefended
towns and burned churches, historic
monuments and the famous library OF
the University of Louvain. All these
facts have been established by au-
thenticated documents, each of which
we shall submit TO the government Of
your majesty.
Despite all this suffering in Bc>
gium, which has made the personlfi-
cation of outrages right, the country
is resolute in fulfilling to the utmost
her duties toward Europe. Whatever
may happen, she must defend her ex-
istence, her honor and her liberty

Britain would support Belgium anil
that he was grateful for the gallant
Belgian resistance. He added that he
was shocked at the reports of German
brutality.
