ActiUe Defense Line
Has Been Abandoned
BY Associated Pretr

London. Aug. 28, ASS A. M.-The
Times military correspondent. in dis
cussing the situation on the French
frontier, says:
1.-The news that the allies have re-
Tired to the line from Lecatau to Cam
brai shows that active defense of the
line from Lille to Maubeuge has been
abandoned and these two fortresses
have been left temporarily to look
after themselves.
Tho necessity for holding the in
terval between Cambria and the
Sambre near Lecatau is probably due
to the need FOR holding Mezieres
Once this point goes or the Meuse be-
tween Mezieres and Verduen is pene-
trated by the invaders the whole sys-
tenn OF frontier defense of Eastern
France breaks down. and If the field
armies are inferior to the enemy
nothing remains but retreat to the
Falases of Champagne.
IF this line is skilfully defended il
gnould be most difficult to penetrate
4Afere Laon and Rheims, which are
provided with permanent fortifications
H3nt ygasare not at that point yet"

Big Boom in Steel Is
Shown in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh. Aug. 2s. = Pittsburgh
iron and steel manufacturers are being
deluged with inquiries which look to
the placing of orders by South Ameri-
can and other countries, which, finding
their source of supply shut off by the
European war are making strenuous
efforts to buy to the best advantage in
this country. No concealment is made
of the satisfaction felt here among iron
and steel men over the new demand
which Is reaching them from over the
seas. The prediction is freely made
that If the European war continues for
any great length of time. the steel
business of England, Germany and
Belgium will be in the hands of Ameri-
can manufacturers when the war is
over.
The South Americans as well as buy
ers in other parts of the world, want to
know about prices and about the time
and the manner of deliveries. There
are many other things they want to
know. and 1t is freely admitted that
the building of al export trade will re-
quire time.

From Plucky Belgians
By Associated Press

London, Aug. %. AIS A. M.-The
Mails Antwerp correspondent says:
After a magnificent defense of two
days by the Belgian army Malines was
retaken by the Germans.
"On the first day 10000 Germans
opposed the Belgians and on the Sec
ond day 10000 flung their might
against a greatly inferior force. In
the end the Belgians retired on Ant
werp, leaving the enemy in possession
of the town. The Germans imme-
diately entrenched after ordering the
inhabitants to leave. Wachten and
Heindonick were destroyed by the re-
treating Belgians to prevent their be-
ing used as cover by the enemy in
their operations against Antwerp"

GERMANS HOPE SOON
To CLEAR THEIR SOIL
OF RUSSIAN FORCES
Berlin Populace Believes Work in
West Will Be Speedily
Finished

Berlin, Aug. 2S, by Wireless to the
Associated Press via Sayville, L. l.,
Aug. 2S, 7.46 A. M.-Headquarters has
| issued an official report declaring that
| the western enemy has everywhere
been defeated and is in full retreat
after nine days fighting.
General Won Kluk defeated the
English army at Maubeauge, renewed
the attack to-day and threatened to
surround it,
Generals Won Buelow and Won Hau-
sen completely defeated the Franco
Belgian forces, about eight corps, be-
| tween the Samhre and the Nan-ur and
the Meuse in several days battle and
are now pursuing them to the east
ward of Maubeuge.
The attack on Maubeuge was opened
by the Grand Duke Albrecht of Wuert-
temburg, who defeated and pursued
the enemy across the Semois and the
Meuse.
The German crown prince is ad-
vancing toward the Meuse and the
crown prince of Bavaria repulsed an
attack from Nancy and the south.
General Won Heeringen continues
the pursuit southwark through the
| Fosges.
Belgians Repulsed
Four Belgian divisions attacking
| Tuesday and Wednesday from Ant
werp have been repulsed, losing guns
and many prisoners. The Belgian
population generally participated in
the fighting, necessitating severe re-
pressive measures.
The corps of the last reserves have
been called out to guard communi-
cations.
1t is difficult to describe the fierce
exultation of all classes in Berlin over
the news of the British reverses at
Maubeuge, as announced officially
from army headquarters to-day.
The German resentment against
England for having injected herself
into this conflict" and for calling in
Japan. a yellow race, Is so deep that
news of the surrender of the British
army on the continent would be re-
ceived with more joy and satisfaction
in Berlin than tidings of the fall of
! Paris.
1t is reported here to-day that a
portion of the British force is at pres
ent shut up in Msubeuge.
Surrounding Allies
The Berlin populace. inspired by the
announcement from military head
quarters that the Iron ring is max
ing it's way around the French. British
and Belgian forces from Cambria to
the Vosges, exhibits little concern re-
garding the situation on the eastern
frontier of Germany. It has full con-
fidence that the task on the western
line will be speedily finished and that
the victorious German armies will
then make sharp work of clearing
German soil of the Russians.
A correspondent of the Berlin Tage-
blatt reports that Louvain, in Belgium
: bitterly punished for the uprising of
the civilian population, has almost
ceased to exist.
