God Is Always With the
Strongest" Says Huerta
By ASsocidted Press

London, Aug. 20, lilo a. m.-vic-
toriana Huerta, erstwhile dictator of
Mexico, was asked to-day what he
thought of the European war. He
called for pen and paper and wrote:
"On the present war in Europe 1
should not speak. All that can be
said is what 1 have already said in a
book of a lady, which is as follows:
God is always with the strongest
that is to say, the strongest is al
ways in the grace of God It is for
this that one is the strongest"
When asked to speak regarding
the Mexican situation, General Huerta
closed his lips tightly and made the
sign of the cross as if putting the
seal on. He said in English Excuse
me, nothing"
Few people at the respectable but
unostentatious hotel frequented by
middle-class provincial merchants,
where Huerta is staying, suspect that
the little dark man with the Spanish
looking family was a few weeks ago
dictator of Mexico.
The general seems trihe dazed
and bewildered by the vastness and
the noise of London. Soon after
breakfast he, with his wife, son and
three daughters of General Blanffuet,
filled two taMcabs in which they
started on a shopping expedition.
General Huerta has not visited the
Mexican legation and he has had few
callers. If he has wealth neither the
dress nor the scale of living of his
party indicates 1t.

Berlin Bridges Guarded
by Old Men and Boys
BY Associated Press

London, Aug. 20, $40. A. M-The
Times correspondent at Rotterdam
telegraphs statement which he says
was made to him by a party of Chin
ese medical men who have arrived in
Rotterdam from Berlin.
When we left Berlin Saturday
night" says the statement, "the city
was in the hands of old men and boys.
No able bodied man was to be seen.
All of the bridges were guarded by
boys about IA years of age, who stood
with fixed bayonets. A fortnight ago
the Friedrichstrasse bridge was badly
damaged by a Russian bomb. We our
selves saw the damage dcae.
"A corps of Amazons is being
raised in Berlin. leaflets having been
distributed calling the women to
arms.
"A week ago an attempt was made
to blow up the bridge of Zoologische
Bahnhof without success, a Russian
spy being sabred by an officer. The
German soldiers look very fit and
splendidly equipped.
The correspondent says that Anth-
ony j. DreXel of Philadelphia, who
motored through to the Dutch from
tier from Baden, was most anxious
that 1t be made quite clear that extra
ordinary civility was shown to all for
eigners, English included, at Baden.

Belgians and Germans
Engaged in Bitter Fight
on Their Way to Antwerp
BY Associated Press

London, Aug. 20, 2.30 A. MA dis
patch to the Daily Express from the
Hague says:
"A bulletin posted here states that
the Germans and Belgians are fight
ing bitterly at Diest and Aerschot on
their way to Antwerp. This news is
causing the greatest uneasiness here.
For the first time in the present crisis
the dutch realize the terrible peril
which the Germans have brought to
their very doors. for Germanys ad-
vance on Brussels can have no other
object than at attack on Antwerp.
Competent military circles rere be-
lieve that the march on Brussels was
resorted to only as a sequel to the
complete failure of the German plan
of sudden attack on France. Had
Liege not resisted as it is now doing
or were the prospects of Namur's re-
Isistance not as brilliant as they are,
Germany might have remained faith
full to her original plan.
But Liege held up the whole Ger
many army for ten days during which
the Belgian government poured am
munition and men into Namur, thus
preparing for a much longer defense
than was the case for Liege. Should
the German armies be held up at Ma
mur and there Is little doubt but they
kill, the keenest disappointment will
be felt in Germany. A Belgian dipIo-
mat told me to-day: They will never
get Namur. Liege was child's play
THE Dutch are anxious about the
attack on Antwerp because it would
threaten the Scheldt river which is
partly a Dutch waterway.
Queen Wilhelmina had interviews
with her ministers to-day and ispect-
ed the Hague barracks. Her consort,
Princa HanFv Whn bafnra =,
riage held a high position in the Ger
man army, has no active command in
the Dutch army and is holding alto
gether aloof from the military pre-
parations. The Dutch people are
grateful for this discretion"

Blind Bishop Alleged
to Have Been Executed
By Associated Press

Paris, Aug. 20.-"La Croix." the
Catholic newspaper. declared that the
blind bishop, Mgr. Kannengiesser, al
legged to have been shot by the Ger
mans at Istein, in Baden, was an AL
satan and anti-German.
He was accused by the Germans Of
having in his possession plans OF the
fortress of Istein-Glotz where a large
German force is awaiting the advance
of the French army now marching
through Upper Alsace.
Istein- Goltz is regarded as almost
impregnable and is the center of the
ring of German fortihcations in that
region.
