"On reaching Elten. on the frontier.
we were startled at the sound Of fir-
ing. Our attention was attracted aloft.
where we saw several aeroplanes cir-i
cling about.
1.-THE soldiers told US that several OF
the aeroplanes were French. and that
their pilots probably were on recon-
noitering expedition. Several German
aeroplanes also were In the air, and
shots were exchanged between them
and the Frenchmen.
"The train halted so suddenly that
we were jammed against each other.
The soldiers hastily discmbarked and
trained their guns In the direction ofs
the Frenchmen, One OF the French
machines was seen to wabble and fall
precipitately to the ground. Whethee
1t was caused by the German gun ~
we were not able to learn"

Traffic and Distance Rates.


Washington, Aug. 1S-The intersta-e
railroad passenger fare Of cents a
mile thru Missouri, Arkansas and Okla
homa was upheld by the Interstate
commerce commission today. acting on
complaint of the public service COM
mission of those states. which sought
to have a cent interstate rate made
the basis of thru traffic charges.
The commission held that the de-
fendant railroads did no, voluntarily
establish and do not volutarily main
tain the intra- state passenger fare of 2
cents q mile, and that basing inter-
state passenger fares in those states
on the 8 cent rates was not unreason-
able.
The commissions ruling Is import
ant as the reduction sought would
have had wide influence on passen-
ger traffic rates generally. Six states.
Arkansas. Kansas, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka, Missouri and Oklahoma, established
2 cent intra- state rates in 1907, and re-
sulting litigation brought ruling from
the supreme court that nothing confs-
catory could be found to Justify the
railroads complaint

Starving Refugees
from, Germany
Reach Stockholm,

Stockholm, via London, Aug. 19.--
Fully $1,000 Russian refugees from
Germany. most Of them exhausted.
famished and sick, have gone thru
stockholm since the beginning Of the
war. From $500 to 1000 have arrived
dsily. Hotels, barracks and schools
have been used for their housing, and
are filled to capacity every night
These unfortunates are heterogen-
GUS gathering from all classes. There
are wealthy women in furs and dia-
monds: poor women in rags, with half
naked children in their arms: priests In
caftans workmen In smocks. and
wealthy professional and business men
all of them driven out Of Gedmany.
Some Of the refugees had been with
out food for three or four days before
reaching Sweden. The trains were 80
packed that many of their occupants
were obliged to stand for twenty four
hours at . stretch. The legs Of many
were so swollen - to require hospital
attention.
Among the refugees are q number Of
patients who say they were driven out
OF hospitals in Germany. Children were
separated from their fathers and
mothers, while mothers lost their chill
dren on the way. Husbands, in some
cases. remained prisoners In Germany.
A number Of Polish women, taking
the cure at Austrian baths near the
frontier, were forced to return via Ber-
lin.

IN EUROPEAN WAR

London Aug. ia dispatch to the Reuters
Telegram Company from Brussels at o'clock last
night says
"A fierce battle is in progress between Belgans
and Germans along an extended front Large num-
bers Of refugees arriving from Tirlemont"
London Aug. 19.-The curt announcement in
telegram from Brussels, dated last night of fierce
fighting between Belgian and German troops, along
extended 'front.' is generally accepted in London today
as indicating the real beginning Of the first great
battle Of the war.
The German attack is today again reported made
on the direct orders Of Emperor William himself to his
generals in the field.
The exact extent of the line of fighting has not yet
been revealed, but presumably it stretches in north
and south line. Beyond this it's definite location vr
tually guesswork.
Refugees from Diest, Tirlenont and other towns
in that section of Belgium, who fled as the Germans
approached, are coming into Brussels in great num-
bers They declare that since the inhabitants vacated
Tirlemont German shells have been dropping in the
town, and that subsequently Begians broke the Ger

carried with us. At Raumo we were
tfortunate enough to catch small

all speed and mobilized. Regiments
were. sent to the frontier and marched
on Liege. Six weak brigades and
some cavalry took Liege.
THE brigades were mobilized at
Liege and there received as first re-
endorsements their own reserves. Two
other regiments came later. Our mobil-
ization has just finished. Our enemies
thought that 100000 Germans were at
Liege and owing to difficulties with
the commissiariat, were unable to ad-
vance. This, however. was q mistake.
There was another reason for the
pause.
Stops Useless Sacrifices.
"Now, the forward march can be-
gin and our enemies will have an op-
portunity to convince themselves that
the German forces are well supplied
with food and arms. The emperor has
given the word not to sacrifice another
drop Of blood to capture the Liege
forts.
The enemy did not know our meth
DDS Of attack and believed themselves
secure In forts. but already the fire Of
our weakest guns had forced the forts
which they shelled to surrender or
quickly demolished them, burying the
garrisons in the ruins. The Liege forti-
dcations will no longer serve our ene-
mics. but will be support to the Ger.
