Brussels Has Fallen.

Paris. Aug. 21.-The German
cavalry have occupied Brussels.
This official announcement was made
last night. Strong columns are fol-
lowing up this movement.
The Belgian army is retiring on
Antwerp without having been en-
gagged by the Germans.
Along with the announcement Of
the fall Of Brussels. the official state
ment says:
"Our troops have met with bril-
liant successes in Alsace, especially
between Muelhausen and Altkirch.
The Germans retreating on the
Rhine left in cur hands many pris-
oners and twenty-four guns, six of
which were captured by our infantry
after sharp struggle.
in Lorraine, the day was less for
tunate for US. Our advanced troops
found themselves faced by exception
Tally strong positions. They were
forced by a counter attack to fall
Iiback in a body, which is sOlidly es-
tablished on the Seille and along the
canal from the Marine to the Rhine"
Paris, Aug. 20.-The Belgian War
I0fice Processes to have no con-
firmation of the reported capture of
Louvain or TirlemOnt. The Bel
gians, however, admit that the
Germans have taken q number Of po-
sitions and are steadily advancing.
| Reports are current in Paris
again to-day that Brussels has been
captured by the Germans. They
cannot be verified. It is reported
also that the German cavalry is ad-
IyancinS toward Antwerp and is al
ready within fifteen miles of that
city.
Reports from the Belgian War
Uffice, while saying nothing about
Belgian losses, point out that the
Germans are still using their closed
formation in attacking and that Bel
gian artilleryis doing terrible dam
age among the closely-flled ranks.
The stubborn fighting that has
been going on for two days along
the entire front continued UNDATED
today.
The Germans have gained ground
on both banks of the River Meuse
and are in contact with the armies
of the allies.
The enemy, finding the routes to
the southwark strongly held by
French and Belgians, discovered an
opening to the north. This may en-
timely change the strategy on both
sides"
The Belgians, having held the in
vaders in check for fifteen days,
have done all that could be expected.
Belgian strategy will now be merged
into the general plan Of the allied
armies. The retrograde movement
does not mean defeat.
There is a persistent rumor here
that the Germans have occupied
Brussels, but it cannot be confirmed. |
A portion of the Belgian army has
begun to retire in the direction of |
Antwerp. according to an official an
nouncement this morning concern
ing the situation in Belgium. East !
of Namur the Germans have at
tanned the line between Dinant and |
Neufchateau.
Large German forces continue to
cross the River Meuse between Liege |
and Namur. German outposts have
occupied Dyle The retirement of
the Belgians toward Antwerp was a
result of the German movement de-
scribed above.

WILL FIGHT TO LAST MAN.

Germany has been attacked and.
therefore, has no responsibility for
the European war;" says Count Won
Bernstorff, German ambassador to the
United States, who has just reached
this country from Berlin. ITO the
last man in the empire we will de-
END our country. This war has no
ther object but the destruction OF
he German and the Austrian empires
md we believe we will be able to
prove to all the world that this can
not be achieved. The German people
are as one man for the war. 1t is
neither the emperor's war nor war

1T is war Of the German people. ]

the enthusiasm that stirred our coun-

is ten times as great as 1t was then.
The women and children and the old
men have uncomplainingly gone into
the fields to gather the crops glad
to give what help they can to their
country. And we have wonderful
crops this year. Every man, woman
and child, old enough to know what
war means, has volunteered in some
service. AS an illustration, there is
a multi-millionaire in Munich who is
today delivering mail from door to
door. He volunteered to do a post
mans work because the postman had
to go to war; Germany is bound to
win In the end, Count Won Bernstorff
said; It is fighting because its cause
is just. He predicted that Americans
would come to regard the conflict in
this light. Italy, he believes. would
not take sides against Germany. "My
wife is with the Red Cross at Mu-
MICH" said the ambassador; "and my
son is with the emperor's guard. All
my secretaries have gone to the front

PRusslAN TAXES HEAVY.

: ~ Il 4 D +
The small Prussian city of Gorzno
has lost the distinction Of levying the
heaviest tax of any city in the king
dom, which it possessed since 1911
until last year. The citizen there who
earns 500 month paid S15.75 month
ly as an income tax alone, not in
slnding church, real estate and bust
ness taxes. The city of Stuhm now
has, according to the reports for 1914,
the highest taxes of any Prussian city.
These amount to only III per cent Of
the 500 month mans earnings. The
rate of taxation increases progress
sively, so that the man with $4,000
yearly pays $276.19, a little more than
Is per cent, and man who has an
income of $4,000 yearly is taxed $685.
20, nearly Is per cent. Twenty West
Prussian cities impose a municipal
income tax Of at least 300 per cent of
the state tax The highest municipal
tax of the Greater Berlin municipali-
ties is 10 per cent and some of them
get along with 100 per cent.

News Of Interest Gathered In
Germany and Austria.
PEACE HAS NO BAD EFFECTS
German Army Of Today Just az Eff
cient and Courageous as in
Former Times.

A few weeks ago we heard doubt
expressed as to the efficiency and val
ue Of the German soldier of today.
Forty-four years of peace, with ever
rising prosperity, with good living
and enjoyment Of life, it was said,
probably had diminished his fighting
capacity, his earnestness, his manli-
ness, his strength against all the
hardships of campaigning. Also, it
was said, the leaders and generals OF
the present day had none of the ex-
perience of war; they would often
find the situation a puzzle; they would
blunder. Those who expressed these
opinions did not know, or did not ap-
preciate the Incompatible education
Of the German soldier-did not know
how we'll he was prepared physically,
mentally and morally for his great
task; prepared in peace for what he
was expected to encounter in war.
And what is true of the soldiers is
true in a more profound way of the
leaders. There is good blood among
them, good knowledge, high ambition,
faith in their capacity, indomnitable
will power; in short, all the qualities
that make them fit for commanding
their regiments, divisions, corps and
armies. So we were right in doubt
ing the daily reports of battles bring.
ing victory to the Belgians. The firsts
results have been won for the Ger.
mans in a comparatively short time
and with comparatively small losses.
Brussels, the capital which tried to
rival Paris in prosperity and beauty,
is in German hands; the left wing of
the allies army is turned, the right
wing of the Germans faces south, and
Antwerp, the great fortress, expects
to be isolated from the rest of the
country and to undergo long, for
NAL siege. Satisfied with such results
we may confidently look forward to
coming events with the battling ar
mics and give attention to the navies.
We admit that very little about them
has been reported as yet. We hardly
know where to lock for them on the
map. We suppose the giant among
them, the English navy, has her hands
full In the channel to shield the trans
ports of English soldiers to the con-
tinent and to protect her merchant
marine from becoming prizes. An
other part, we think, Is In the North
sea, watching any movement of the
German f1eet-the rest is sweeping"
the oceans. The German fleet has
probably kept on the defensive up to
the present, watchfully waiting for
her opportunity.

NOTED YOUNG COMPOSER.

Many accounts, either incomplete
or misleading, have come to hand
concerning Erich Korngold, the youth
full Viennese composer. The Literary
Digest, from various authentic sources,
has compiled the following account of
this interesting youth: AT seven
years old the boy, who was born In
1897 in Brunn, Austria, was already a
skilled pianist and at the age of eight
he began composing little pieces,
waltzes and SO forth, which even
then gave promise of greater achieve
ments. His first instruction in COM
position was under Robert Fuchs and
Alexander Won Zemlinsky In Vienna.
Indeed these two musicians have been
his only teachers. Korngold first be-
came known to the public at the age
of eleven, through some piano pieces
which he had written. His greatest
achievement to date is his 'Sinfoniet-
ta' for full orchestra, Op. 5, which was
composed nearly two years ago at the
age Of fifteen, and which had it's first
public hearing in Vienna on Nov. 28,
1913, under the direction Of Felix
Weingartner.

Sickesz scored remarkable success
at the concert with the Berlin Phil

after his rendition of the Saint Saens

hostilities the latter restraint was
eliminated. The government took
