London, Aug. 13.-Two million men
were in fighting array along 200
miles of battle front, extending from
Switzerland almost to Brussels, Bel
gium, and fierce engagements were
in progress at intervals along the
whole line late yesterday, when the
censorship shut down upon dispatches
and left the outside world to await
the issue of the worlds greatest bat
tie.
The German Kaiser has more than
100000 men, composing the great
er number of his twenty-six army
corp5, massed between Luxembourg
and Liege. To oppose them as many

German army of the Meuse moved
10th toward Brussels and Namur in
q desperate effort to break through
the barrier of allies for dash OH

A combined army of $4,000 men
was thrown across their path. Flu
rious battles took place as the van
guards met AT Longres, north of
Liege, fierce artillery fight was
heard fifteen miles away. At Tirlo-
mont the Belgiansi blocked the Ger
man march and fought furiously to
protect Brussels, their capital. l.
was reported that $4,000 Germans had
invested Namur, fortified city ri
valing Liege in the strength of its
defense.
A screen of reconnoitering brigade5
has hidden the position of the forces
of the allied army. Whether the great
battle is taking place, if it be al
ready in progress, has not been dis
closed.
Paris announces that the Germans
attacked Giget, thirty miles north of
Sedan, and were repulsed by the
French. French troops hold the passes
Of the Vosges mountains, dominate the
heights of Alsace and hold a line
drawn between Thanh, twenty-five
miles southwest of Colmar, and Alt
kirch. This line runs slightly in the
rear Mulhausen.
Basle reports that the Germans suf-
fered enormous losses in the effort
to dislodge the French from Mul-
hausen. The One Hundred and Sixty
ninth and One Hundred and Twelfth
regiments were annihilated and many
prominent German officers fell
From Amsterdam came reports that
the German army has succeeded in q
second attempt to build a pontoon
bridge over the Meuse to move siege
artilleiy upon Liege and Namur.
The Daily Nails Copenhagen cor
respondent wires that the commander
of Sveaborg, Finland, has ordered ali
inhabitants there and at Helsingfors
