obtained the following details regard
ing the siege of Namur from two Bel
gian soldiers. They said that the Ger
mans attacked the town during a dense
fog. and that for two DAYS the bonn
bardment never ceased. The town was
reduced to ruin and the carnage among
the Inhabitants was appalling The
forts Of CoPnelee and Marchovelette
were silenced by heavy German siege
guns Of ll-inch calibre.
The l48th French Regiment Of the
line. coming from Givet, proudly
marched into the town to the strains Of
the "Marsellaise" this during a muir
derous hail Of projectiles but they
had arrived too late. Namur had be-
come an inferno. and at midday the
order was given to retreat.
As an instance Of the scientific man
ner in which the Germans conduct
their warlike operations, the first
shells fired into Namur were directed
against the wireless installation at the
top Of the hill overlooking the ancient
citadel.

established over the newspapers Of
Turkey, and IT is known that the IN
huence of the government Is being
exerted to create sympathy with Ger
many.
The following statement was issued
by the Relief Board tonight:
ut was decided this afternoon by
the Relief Board, composed of Sccre-
taries Bryan, NcAdoo. Garrison and
Daniels, 20 send a large sum of gold
% Turkey 20 relieve the Americans
there. This action was taken at the
urgent request Of Ambassador Nor
genthau, who cabled the State De-
money for Americans was urgent and
that arrangements would be immedi-
ately made 10 provide them with fun Is.
Fortunately there is cons iderable
amount of gold on board the battle
ship North Carolina, now az Falmouth,
which is available fol- this purpose,
and the Secretary Of the Navy has &C
cordingly issued instructions 20 tha
North Carolina 10 proceed az once 10
Constantinople, where Assistant Secro-
tary OF War Breckenridge and the
Treasury's agents will distribute the
money, IN cooperation Witn the Amerl-
can Ambassador. IT, addition TO he
funds needed by stranded Americans
in Turkey, there are several large mis-
sion schools and educational lnstitu-
tions maintained BY Americans in Tur-
key, and the various American mission
boards having them under their juris-
diction will also forward money by the
North Carolina for their relief"
Before deciding TO send the North
Carolina to Coustantinople the United
States took precautions to sound the
powers II Europe a. 20 whether they
would object 20 the sending Of an
American warship 20 Turkey. In view
OF the extreme tension which prevails
at Constantinople, ard the probability
that Turkey soon will be drawn into
the European conflict, the American
government desired TO make plain that

aid and protect Americans.
France in her reply 20 the American
governments inquiry expressed APP
proval Of the purpose Of the United
States 10 take the initiative in sending
a ship to Turkish waters for the pro-
lection OF Christians, remarking that
the sending Of French warships at this
time might be misinterpreted. The
French government incidentally ac-
cused Germany of trying 10 stir up
enti-Christian sentiment in Turkey by
provoking the Mahometans against the
English and French.
Diplomats and officials generally are
expecting a declaration of war by Tur-
key on the allies. Reliable advices are
that just as soon as the big Russian
army has penetrated a considerable
distance into East Prussia Turkey will
strike That both Bulgaria and Ru-
mania will align themselves with Tur-

ALSACE RETREAT
BITTER TO FRENCH
But They Have Successes
in VOsges District as Far
South as Nancy.
BY T.. A. BEAMAN.

Especial Correspondent Of The New York
Tribune and London standard
Paris. Aug. 27.-It is exceedingly
difficult even here TO get an exact meas
ure of what is happening on the from
tier, and, except for the official COM
muniqueS. all news must be regarded
as the widest hearsay.
All that can be gathered is that while
being fairly successful in the Vosges
district as far south as Nancy, the
French have had a bitter pill to swal-
low in abandoning the ground occu-
pied in Alsace and so postponing for
a short time only. we all devoutly hope,
the revenge they have been waiting for
for more than forty years. That, at
least, is as much as or, / believe, any
one else can make out from the most
recent official statements issued here.

Germans Moved Down.

"The Germans were coming out of
the woods to the northwest of Mons
i'm numbers greatly superior to the
British. The first attack Of the Ger
mans on the British advance posts near
the canal was quickly repealed, and we
could see them falling back into the
woods.
The distance between the two armies
then was about three miles. We could
follow the invaders whole movements
as they emerged from the shelter OF
the trees. Then appeared the British
tactics to cease ire abruptly until
the Germans supposed there was a
weakening Of the defence. They
swarmed out OF the woods and made
rapidly toward the canal.
when the distance seemed right the
British artillery would open upon
them devastating Ere. echoed
by rifles in the trenches. Thousands Of
Germans fell By nightfall Sunday
they had made no progress and their
dead and wounded were scattered over
the hills between the canal and the
forests. The German shells, on the
other hand, were not very effective and
the British losses were comparatively
small. Fighting ceased during the
night. but was resumed at daybreak
more violently than ever. The Germans
evidently had received large reinforce
ments.
Scouting parties Of dragons and
Uhlans tried to reach the canal, but
most of them were killed. Then an
advance was made en- masse, and. al
though whole ranks were moved down,
the main body managed to reach the
north bank Of the canal. The battle
had become a positive butchery. As
the Germans were continually rein
forced, the British fell back gradually
