MOntenegrins and Servians
 Now Operating Together

Nish, Servia, Aug. 12.-The Servian and Montenegrin armies which hal effected a juncture on the border of Herzegovina are now operating to- gether.
 Servian artillery is engaged in the bonn bard-nent of Gcrashda, on the River Drina, 29 miles to the southeast of Sarayevo, the Bosnian capital. Ser vian troops already had captured the Bosnian town of Vardishta, at the Junction of the rivers Drina and Linn.
 Some important outpost encounters are reported on the Servian frontier at different points on the rivers Save and Danube.
 The bomb rdmcnt of Belgrade, the Servian capital, by the Austrian ar- tillery continued today, when material damage was inficteG on the city.
 Reports reaching here from Sofa stated that the Bulgarian government is preparing for eve ntualities, but it Is not known what it has in view.

are entirely false. Only small groups of German soldiers entered the town itself under cover of darkness. All the encircling forts, twelve in num- Ter, are intact
 Small unimportant engagements have occurred along the whole line where the French and German armies are facing each other from Belfort, opposite the southernmost part of A'sace, to Liege in Belgium. In these encounters the French cavalry has always maintained its superiority over the German mounted troops, while our artillery has been splendid ly served. ....
 Our troops have kept the crests and passes of the Vosges mountains, and they dominate the heights of AL sGce.
 "A line between Thanh, twenty-two miles southwest of Kolmar. Alsace, and Altkirch (the first position occu- pied by the French army after its in- vasion of Alsace) is held by our armies. This line runs slightly to the rear of Muelhausen.
 The French government indignant ly denies that there was any violation of German territory by French army before the declaration of war"

German Commander Denies
 Loss of 10000 Men

London, Aug. 12, 9:1O A. M.-The correspondent of the Exchange Tele- graph Co. at Rome says that a des- patch from Berlin gives an official statement by General Won Stein re- garding the siege of Liege. The Ger man commander denies the loss of 10000, but does not give figures of his losses. He says that only small number of German troops were en- gagged in order to mask the move ments of the bulk of the army. The enemy's advance attacking force, he says, was completely ann1h1lated, and while admitting that the forts remain intact, explains this by saying: "The emperor did not wish to sacrifice Liege unnecessarily, but so soon as the heavy artillery arrives the forts will be taken without the loss of a man."
 General Won Stein admits that t,4e capture of the forts is a difficult prob lem because of the unfavorable ground about them and further be- cause the population of the town, in- cluding the women, shot at the Ger man troops from behind, firing indis- criminately, hitting the surgeons ana the wounded The German com mander concludes with the remark that "t must not be forgotten that the Belgian force is numerically su- perior to ours."

Belgian Government Asks
 Holland for Assurances

Brussels, Aug. 12. via London, 4:50 A. Notwithstanding an attempt by Germany to enter Holland from the north by closing Dutch Limburg, which would oblige the Belgians to cover the frontier on that side, the Belgian government has asked Hol- land to give assurances of her inten- is violated.
 An official report states that com munication has been restored with London, village in the province of Liege. seven miles southeast of Tirle- mont. The Belgians blew up sev- eral bridges at their front in the vicin- ity, which gave rise to the report of an artillery engagement. No news has arrived showing that such an ac- ton took place.
 A German aeroplane flew over Brussels today at height of 2OOO feet Civic guards fired several shots at the airship, but they fell short.
 There is no fear regarding the food supply of Belgium.
 An earlier despatch from Brussels said that German troops had seized the station at Landen, short dis tance west of Liege, and after driving out the railway employees burned the building.

WOULD-BE SUICIDE SHACKLED TO BED
 ~ - Peter DykO Becomes Violent After Trying to Cut
 Throat.

Despondency, brought on. it is thought, by heavy drinking and a quarrel with his brother over his daughter. caused Peter Dyko, of 2S5 Myrtle street to make an attempt upon his life at shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. The police were noti- fled and Officer Helberg and Sergeant Kelly were sent in the patrol. They arrived at the house at 1:16 o'clock and found that Dyko had cut his throat with knife and was bleeding profusely.
 Shackled to Bed.
 The injured man was taken to the New Britain General hospital, where his wounds were attended to. This morning it was stated that his cut throat Is not particularly serious and he is doing well as far as the injury is concerned. However, the man must have been drinking very heavily last night for he became so violent this morning that it was necessary to shackie him to the bed to prevent his doing bodily injury to himself and others. 4
 Tried to Cut Wind Pipe.
 Dykos attempt on his life was a crude one and instead of severing his jugular vein he sawed away at the front of his throat. trying to slash his wind pipe in two. He managed to inf1ict a cut about two inches long.
 Has Wife in Russia.
 The police found out that the man has been living alone at No. 285 Myrtle street, but has a wife living in Russia. He also has brother named Frank, who lives at No. 161 Curtiss street, and the police think that the two brothers were quarreling yesterday over Dyko's daughter. The injured mans landlady says that he is a steady man and worked all day yes- terT~--

WILD PROTECT GERMANS.
American Consular Agents in Canada
 Sent Instructions.

Washington. Aug. 12.-German citizens in Canada are to receive the same protection at the hands of the state department as are British sub- iects in Germany. Having assumed responsibility for the welfare of these citizens the state department has sent instructions to all American consular officers in Canada to look after the Germans and Austrians there precisely as it has sent similar instructions to the American em- bassies in London, Paris and St. Pet ersburg. Absence of an American diplomatic representative in Canada obliged the state department to ad- dress itself directly to its consular of hcers.
 1t is expected that American diplo- matic and consular officers every where, save in the few neutral coun- tries, are going to be very busy in protection to hundreds of who are being de- nounced as spies. il is said. merely because they happen to speak the language of the enemy. No doubt Is felt here that every effort will be made to secure exact justice and fair trial for every person ac- cused wherever possible outside the actual zone of military operations.

Details of Negotiations
 For Merchant Shipping

London, Aug. 12.-The Gazette to- day publishes the details of the nego- tiations between England and Ger many regarding the status of their merchant shipping in ports of the en- emy.
 A despatch from Berlin received here yesterday said that the German and British governments had request ed the American embassy in Berlin to intervene for the purpose Of fixing the time in which the mercnantmen of the two countries must quit the ports of the enemy.
 From the matter published by the Gazette it appears that Germany on August proposed to the British gov ernment the mutual liberation of in termed ships reply to the proposal within forty-eight hours was request ed.
 Apparently no reply was made to the German communication, but the British government, through the American ambassador, Walter Hines Page, made known to Germany the decision of this government regarding the treatment of enemy ships and ask ing whether this would meet the views of Germany.
 The negotiations continued through the intermediary of the American am bassadors at Berlin and Stockholm, but no communication was received from Berlin and the British govern ment has no knowledge of the treat ment being accorded to British ships and cargoes in German ports.

KENSINGTON MAN
 HELD AS GERMAN SPY
John McCabe Has Unpleasant Ex- per1ence While Visiting
 In Canada.

To be seized by authorities of the British government and held for several hours as German spy, while visiting in Toronto, Canada, was the exciting experience of John McCabe, a bookkeeper at the American Paper Goods company in Kensington who, with his companion, Michael Moore, also of kensington, has decided to spend the remainder of his vacation on safer ground.
 According to the story which the young men told their friends pre- Vious to leaving for a weeks stay at Coney Island, both were standing on street curb in Toronto on Wednes- day morning of last week interestedly watching a parade of enthusiastic citizens when an officer approached McCabe and placed him under ar rest Nothing was said to Moore and he, anxious for the safety of his com rade, went to the house of detention for the purpose of informing the authorities of their serious mistake. This was not sufficient, however, so Moore telegraphed to his brother Bernard Moore in Kensington for credentials. McCabe was released about twelve hours after his arrest. immediately upon the receipt of a telegram from his home town.
 The young men were at a loss to explain the reason for the arrest but were inclined to believe that they aroused suspicion while meandering about the city. curiously watching the demonstrations which followed England's declaration of war against Germany. McCabe has been said to resemble a German in appearance and, rather than take any chances, the authorities probably thought 1t best to make sure before he disap- peared.

French Fishing Fleet
 Returns to France

St. Pierre, Mia, Aug. 2. (delayed in transmission)-The outbreak of the European war has caused the with drawal from this colony of nearly the entire French fishing fleet, and many steam trawlers have returned to HaVre and Brest. Business has been badly crippled AS the bank has re- fused to cash drafts and checks on France. Upon receipt of official ad- vices that hostilities had begun, the colonial government sent two steam trawlers to the fishing fleet on the Grand Banks to order all vessels that were sufficiently supplied with coal and provisions to proceed to France immediately.
