ECONOMY, Ind, July 31.-Did you
ever notice how thirsty young man
gets when there is a pretty girl at the
house? 1t doesn't matter whether you
carry ice water. buttermilk or lemon
ade to the field, that young man would
rather walk a mile in the boiling sun
to get a drink from the "Old Home"
pump, even if the water were milk
warm, just SO he gets a glimpse of the
pretty girl. It is not only at one place
that such fine tactics are worked but
whenever there Is young man and a
pretty young girl such thirst will
exist.

WAR WILLCOST
BILLIONS A YEAR

PARIS, July 31.-The cost Of
general war In Europe, involving
eight Of the mightIest powers,
would be $40, 755, 625, 900 year, &C
cording to Or. Charles Richet, stat
istician Of the University Of Paris.
II such war comes and lasts at
least five years, az diplomats are
certain it will do, the cost OF the
war, without indemnity claims,
would reach the amazing total Of
$98,77a, 125, 900.
These figures are based on the
cost Of a general war involving
only Germany, England, France,
Russia, Italy,, Austria, Servia and
Roumania. A war Of this kind, it
is feared, would not end in involv-
ing only the eight countries named,
but would draw every European ma
ton, large and small, into the con-
fiict and Increase the war cost far
beyond the sum estimated for only
seven powers.

GERMANS USE HEAVY
ARTILLERY AT L|EGE

London, Aug. 13.-While the Liege
forts are holding out it is believed
the German artillery fire is seriously
damaging them. Siege guns of the
heaviest caliber are now known to
have been brought up by the Ger
mans, who have restored their line
of rail communication.
That the allied French-Bri
gian army has been placed along the
German frontier is considered GER
tain, but all information is refus ID,
the general staff contenting itself with
the statement that important events
impend."
1t is believed here the Germans
have decided TO attempt to carry
through their original plan for the
invasion of France by way of Brus-
sells and Lille.
Crossing the Meuse river to the
north of Liege the main German army
is believed to be feeling out the Bel
gian defense line with cavalry.

GERMAN STORY OF
ASSAULT ON LIEGE

London, Aug. 15.-The correspond
ent of the Exchange Telegraph COM
pany at Rome says that dispatch
from Berlin gives alH official statement
by General Won Stein regarding the
siege of Liege. The German CON-
mander denies the loss of 10000 men,
but does not give the figures of his
losses. He says that only a small
number of German troops were en-
gagged in order to mask the movement
of the bulk of the army. The enemy's
advance attacking force, he says, was
completely annihilated and, while ad-
mitting that the forts remain intact,
explains this by saying:
THE emperor did not wish to sac
rifice life unnecessarily, but so soon
as the heavy artillery arrives the forts
will be taken without the loss of a
man."

rope. The charge had requested pre-
yiously that the state department
permit code messages to be exchang-
ed directly between the United States
and Germany. The charge also was
desirous that the German owned
wireless stations at Sayville, l.. l.,
and Tuckerton, N. j., be permitted to
work with Germany free from censor
ship, thereby placing Germany on
equality with England and France.
An article in The Hague eonven-
tion provides that such methods of
communication may be barred where
the stations were erected for purely
military purposes on neutral territory
and transact no commercial business.
The Germans say the stations in
question have been doing commercial
business.

ENGAGEMENT FOUGHT
NEAR VERDUN, FRANCE
Kalser's Troops Reported Re-
pulsed in Attempt to
Gross Frontier.

London, Aug 13.-The Belgian war
Office reports a strong force of Ger
mans has been repulsed at Maugien-
mes, near Verdun, France, with heavy
losses. Verdun is the first of series
of two French strongholds on the di-
rect route from Luxembourg to Paris,
indicating the Germans will use this
as one of their routes in attempting
an invasion of the French capital,
and that they have made speedy prog
ress in the invasion of France.
Terrific cannonading was reported
in the direction of Tongres, north Of
Hege, where it was reported two di-
visions of German cavalry with artil-
lery had arrived. Advance of Ger
man arms in this direction would In.
dicate either Brussels or Antwerp is
the objective.
Belgium is again the scene of fight
ing between Belgians, French and
Germans. A Brussels report says
the bulk of the German army is leav-
ing Liege and advancing through the
heart of Belgium toward the French
frontier. A battle near Namur, to the
southwest of Liege, where French
troops are said to have arrived, is
expected.
French Position Good In AIsace.
The French foreign minister de.
scribed the French position in Alsace,
near the Swiss frontier, as good He
said French troops occupy the crests
and passes of the Vosges mountains.
Belgium expects the German army
to cross Dutch territory and has re-
quested Holland to state her inten-
tions regarding resistance to a breach
of her neutrality.
Sveaborg, the great Russian fort
ress in Finland, awaits a lombard
ment or battle, all vicilians having
been ordered to leave there and also
Helsingfors.
Paris reports Montenegrin troops
occupying Tarabosch, overlooking
Scutari, Albania, where severe fight
ing between Turks and Montenegrins
occurred during the Balkan war.
Military experts say the reported
entrenchments by Germans along the
River Aisne probably refer to the
small Belgian stream of this name
and not the river of the same name
well inside the French border.
