ARMIES STOP FOR A REST
Furious Fighting Wearies Soldiers
Losses Are Appalling

Paris, Aug. 29.-An official COM
munication, issued by the war de-
partment says:
"The situation on our front from
the Department of Somme North
west France) to the Vosges remains
the same today as yesterday.
"The German forces appear to
have slackened their march"
The apparent inaction of the ARM
les as indicated in the official state
ment is explained by the fri6htfdl
exhaustion of both sides, who for
days have been fighting furious'y.
The losses of both armies are ap'
palling, particularly those OF the
Germans. AS an illustration Of The
casualties among the Germans a
prisoner relates that two German
regiments, the One Hundred and
Twelfth and One Hundred and For
ty-second, lost so heavily that they
were made into one, and OF that
only sixty men now remain.

Paris, Aug. s1.-According TO
persons who arrived in Paris from
Sedan, several bodies OF German
troops made an offensive demonstra-
ton near Sedan four days ago, but
were given what is described as
pretty reception" by the French
troops. The French artillery was
hidden behind one Of the heights
which surround the town and from
which the Germans bombarded Sc
dan In 1870.
The French permitted the Ger
mans to advance. The invaders In
stalled themselves at one side oil
the town, near the highway which
leads TO Bazeillels. When the Ger
mans arranged their camps ana
placed all their guns and cannons In
position, the French troops opened
such a terrific fire from their field
guns with such violence that the
German camp in few minutes was
filled with dead men.
There were so many dead that
they covered parts Of the field TO
the height OF several feet.

BURN LOUVAIN NEEDLEssLY
Belgian Legation Says Germans Had
No Excuse for Destruction

London, Aug. 29.-That Louvain
was wiped off the face of the earth
by the Germans without the slight
est excuse is the allegation made
by the Belgian legation here. The
city has been completely destroyed.
All Of its magnificent buildings are
In ashes. It's art treasures have been
destroyed. The inhabitants are
prisoners under guard of German
soldiers.
The Belgian legation in its &C
count says German corps was rout-
ed by Belgians and retreated toward
Louvain. The German garrison, mis-
taking their comrades for Belgians,
fired on them, killing some and
wounding otkers. The Germans then
accused the townspeople Of having
fired on them, ignored explanations
and destroyed the town. Several OF
the prominent citizens were taken
out and shot "as an example to all
Belgians."

United states 20 Send Gold Ship 20
Aid Americans
ONLY A PROTECTIVE MEASURE
Diplomats Expect Turkey TO Join
Germany and Austria-Amer-
leans Warned 20 Leave
Quickly

washington, Aug. 2S.-The Unit
cd States has informed the powers
NJ Europe OF It's intention to send
the armored cruiser North Carolina
20 Turkey to carry gold for the re-
lief OF Americans. according to an
announcement OF the state depart
ment.
While the North Carolina goes on
mission of financial relief, her
presence in Turkish waters Is in
tended to have a salutary effect
with respect to the treatment OF
Christians and foreigners generally
resident in the Ottoman Empire.
Announcement by the German
embassy here, however, that Liman
pasha, lent by Germany to train the
Turkish forces, had been put In COM
mand of the Ottoman army confirm
cd in the minds of diplomatic rep
resentatives Of the allies here, the
belief that Turkey soon will openly
place herself on the side OF Ger
many and Austria in the mammoth
struggle.
Before taking this step the United
States took precautions to sound the
powers of Europe as to whether they
would object to the sending OF an
American warship to Turkey. The
American government desired to
make it plain that its purpose in
sending the ship is in no way poll
tical, but designed only to aid and
protect Americans.
France approves the action OF the
United States.
Diplomats and officials generally
are expecting a declaration OF wal
by Turkey on the allies.
That both Bulgaria and Rumania
will align themselves with Turkey
against Greece and the other Balkan
states also is indicated by authentic
information reaching here.
Secretary Bryan said today Amer
leans had been advised to leave
Turkey, as they had other countries
in which war had broken out OF
might break out. Every facility pos
sible, he said, would be afforded
them to depart.
