Europe as the ultra sensational
finish Of the Georges Carpenter

ed exactly 10 seconds and result
ed in most humiliating and dis
sstrous defeat for the Brton, who
never once even led the French

mesmerized and took the five ar
six terrific punches that Carpen-
tier handed out. finally sinking to
the mat in complete collapse.

Diplomats were at loss to explain
the Berlin message. 1t was said that

of Turkish neutrality, if the ship still

No indication that Turkey had de

Great Britain had been expectin,

was said, for many days. The EN-

information as to the Warrior.
Officials here displayed much inter

ARMY OF BELGIUM
RALLY FROM DEFEAT
Men Now Are Tougher Than at Start
And Constitute Menace
to Germany


London, Sept. IA dispatch 10 The
Evening Star from Ostend SAYS:
"The different units of the Belgian
army have been collected from oil
over the country, even from Narnu
and south of the German line. The
volunteers have been reorganized, bet
ter officered and better armed.
"The total losses of the army have
not been published, but except at
Liege these were not large in COM
parison with the losses of the Ger
man, French and British armies in
France. The Belgian army taking in:
to consideration the toughening which
the men had during the last month,
is now possibly more fit for active
service than it was at the beginning
of the war. The morale is still unim-
paired.
"The burgomaster of Liege is still
demonstrating his inability to pay the
fine levied by the Germans by trying
to find the money in Brussels and
elsewhere while the richest men in
Brussels continue as hostages for the
'vment Of the demand on the latter
city, which situation is proving more
embarrassing to the Germans than to
Burgomaster Max who continues to
protest the impossibility of the city's
raising the fund"

KERMIT ROOSEVELT GOES TO
SOUTH AMERICA FOR TRADE
Sent by Big Pittsburgh Bank to Get
Business for Uncle Sam.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 5.-Repre-
sentatives of several large Pittsburgh
concerns are now on their way to
South America ports to investigate
the possibilities of capturing some cf
the trade of that continent. Thus ac-
tion was taken as a result of efforts
by the National City Bank of New
YCrk TO open branch banks in Buen-
os Ayres and Rio de Janerio.
1t was learned also today tha;, aS
a result of the action of the federal
reserve board in granting the New
York bank permission to open branch
banks in those cities, that the Janl:
alread y has sent three representa-
tives to South America, one of whom
is Kermit Roosevelt, son of former
President Theodore Roosevelt.
The National City bank has been in
communication with Pittsburgh con-
Germs with reference to the possblil-
ties of establishing trade relations
with the South American continent,
and the establishment of branch
banks in the two leading cities of
South America, it is thought will
prove a great aid in opening up the
commerce of the country to the Unit
ed States.
Some of the large Pittsburgh con
Germs say there has been inquiry al
ready for various articles from for
eign lands, as well as inquiry for
coal by Spain and Portugal. Some
large steel orders have been booked
with South America, recent one
ealing for big amount of rails which
will be made at Homestead.

GERMAN CORPS REPORTED
AS BEING CUT TO PIECES
Allied Forces Under French and
D'Ammade Said to Have
Gained the Victory.

London, Sept. IA Boulogne dis
patch to The Evening News says {
telegram has been received from Gen
Pau announcing victory by the al
lied forces at Percy-sur-Oise. Tb,
Imperial Guard under Crown Prince
Frederick William is reported to have
been annihilated by the German force
which opposed them.
The Evening News dispatch says:
A telegram has been received from
Ger. Pau announcing q victory by the
allied forces under Field Marshal ST,
John French, commanding the Brit
ish, and Gen. D'Ammade at Percy
sur -Oise, about 25 miles north cf
Paris.
THE allies were drawn across the
northern line with the centre of Per-
cy. The English troops were on the
left and the French on the right. The
former had in front of them the I'M
perial Guard under Crown Prince
Frederick William.
lon both wings, it is reported, the
allies were successful. The German
left was held by the French and re-
tired to the north.
"The Imperial Guard, who were or
dered to surrender, were annihilated
by the British. 1t is reported that
the crown prince was in their midst"
The British Official bureau has re-
celved no confirmation of the mes
sage.
The official bureau says.
Gen. Joffre's plans are being stead
lily carried out. The allied forces,
acting on the offensive, have been
successful in checking and forcing
back in northeast direction, the
German forces opposed to them"
The news contained in the French
official communication that the Ger
mans had fallen back before the Wig
orous advance by the allied troops on
the line from Nanteuille to Verdun in
dicates that the Anglo French forces
have got on the flank of the Ger
man right wing, which passed by
Paris, and was marching eastward to
'oin. with the crown princes army
coming south.
1t has been suggested by military
experts that Gen. Won Kluck's move
ment to the south was taken as a
matter of precaution before the move
ment by the allies from the coast.
1t is possible this new arny has
reached Nanteuille- -le- Haudouin thus
getting on Gen. Won Kluck's flank.
The engagement took place Sunday
and that evening the Germans began
their retirement.
