president rejected all approaches OF
this character, believing the constitu-

pressed the view that this would have

is no Information thus far as To what

the best posted official ana diplomatic
quarters Is that Germany cannot and
will not aveede TO the demand. In
that event Il II believed the garrison

in no way match the naval force ia

NOT BELIEVED GIGANTIC
BATTLE HAS COMMENCED

London. Aug. ~ u:45 u. m.) )--As
far as the Gordon Of secrecy which the
battling nations have drawn around
the Franco-German frontiers will per-
nit of guess work, the great battle
which promises to cast Mukden ana
Lioa Yang into insigniflcance, has not
actually begun.
Encounters, which military histo-
rians month from now may describe
as Reconnaissance in force, are
proceeding all along the border. They
are heralded by both sides as battle
and victories. In history most of them
viii rank as incidents.
Fate of Licge In Doubt.
Liege remains the crux of the con-
troversy The German government
has announced that the forts nave
been destroyed and the defenders bur
led beneath the ruins. > The French
government declares that the forts
are still holding.
From Brussels comes word that the
German movement toward the center
has been checked, while from the
French embassy in London the state
ment has been issued that the Ger
mans have retired from the important
Alsatian outpost OF Sarreboure.
Censorship Is Rigid.
An iron-clad veto of unauthorized
Intelligence from Belgium which the
war office frankly communicated 70
the papers last night that the three al
lied armies had agreed upon has been
enforced to the letter The censor
ship Of the British war office follows
closely that enforced by the Japanese
during their war against Russia, with
exception of one unique detail, Field
Marshal Kitchener communicated to
