GERMAN Liner MAY
!. Be BRITISH Ri ! PRIZE

& r. ! n s :. Is Y p ! X
New York, Aug. 11.-From two
sources came a report to New York
that the North German Lloyd liner
Kronprinz Wilhelm had been captur-
ed by the British cruiser Essex and
taken to Bermuda as prize. &
The liner Narragansett reported
having heard wireless message to
this effect and the manager of the
Royal Mail steam packet, whose
ships run to Bermuda, said he heard
a similar report.
The report is given some credence
here in view of the announcement by
the Canadian government, made at
Ottawa, that the Essex has advised the
Bermuda station she is bringing in a
prize. The name Of the captured
vessel was not disclosed in the gov
ernment's announcement.

.BELGIANS FALLING
BACK ON THE FRENCH

! Brussels, Aug. 11.-Liege city is
held by the Germans. At least some
the Belgian officials say all-of the
forts are still holding out against the
invaders.
They are compelled to operate indie.
pendently and can no longer figure
materially in opposing the German
advance. It is expected that a Ger.
man force will besiege- them while
the main German army moves south
The Liege garrison retreated, the
war Office says, for strategic reasons
and is now falling back on Namur
where the French are in force.
The check to Germany has enabled
France to get her endorsements into
position and Germany will have to
fight for every inch Of Belgian terri
tory advancing south.

MOUNTAIN PASSES
TAKEN BY FORMER
Obtain Possession Of Strategic
Points After Desperate
Encounter.

Paris, Aug. 11.-A statement issued
by the war department says that
numerous skirmishes are taking place
along the entire front of the French
army. One clash with the Germans
was violent and the losses on both
sides were serious. .-~ ...@
The official statement adds that the
German troops are receiving rein
forcements and that the French also
are being strengthened.
London, Aug. s11.-An Exchange
Telegraph message from Basel,
Switzerland, says 10000 Austrian
troops of the Fourteenth corps, under
command of the Duke of Tuscany,
have arrived there to reinforce Ger
man troops at Istein, where the Ger
mans are nassing in the hills and in
the Notifications, following the
French successes in Alsace.
From St. Petersburg comes a re.
port that Germans who have been
fighting along the Russian frontier in
small detachments are being concen-
trated in brigades of two and three
regiments each, preparatory to taking
the field. No serious encounters have
occurred yet on the Russian frontier.
according to the report. German mill
tary aeroplanes are seen flying daily
in the direction of Kovno, capital of
the Russian province of the same
name, which has an outlet on the
Baltic. -. 81 ~.
Paris reports say the French troops,
after desperate encounter with Ger

mountains, obtained possession of the

French took a position dominating
Sainte Marie Aux Mines. The losses
are not reported. Wounded French
and Germans were taken to the
French fortress of Espinal for treat

=, Allies Win Cavalry Fight. ~,
The Paris, correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says all French re-
ports agree on the intense enthusiasm
of French troops engaged against the
German in the battle of Altkirch and
Muelhausen. He reports a cavalry
encounter on the plateau east of the
Meuse river, probably at Woevre, re-
suited 'favorably for the French and
Belgians. u u.
'The net result of operations so far
as is known" says the Telegraph cor
respondent, els that the German ad-
vance has been stopped on the line
of the Mouse, and they have been out
flanked in Belgium by the advancing
French masses.
tSimilarly the Germans strategical-
ly are outtlanked by the French ad-
vance in Alsace. Thus the hostile
seriously contracted"
The correspondent says the arrival
of British troops anxiously is awaited
by France and Belgium in view of
the imminence of decisive encounter
between French and German armies.
Little news sifted out regarding the
activities of war vessels of the pow
ers. The German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau are said to have evaded
their British and French pursuers and
arrived in the Adriatic An Austrian
fleet was reported proceeding to Pola
