LONDON, SeL, "A correspon- dent to the Daily Chron'c cle, who has been making tour or the French front in the Mo >elle wiley, writing from Nancy, says:
 we are iE the midst of an inter- val of preparation for an effort, the magnitude of which was not known anywhere, and could nc have been anticipated. From the sea to the Alps no consir, rable offensive has been attempted tor m ore than two months, though enough pressure has been maintained to pin the German armies down ard prevent them from sending reinfo"cements from the west to the east.

FIRE DESTROYS B|C
 NEW YORK BLOCK
Garage and Hundreds of Expensive Machines Go Up In Smoke
 Many Explosions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-One of the worst fires in recent years in this city occurred today when an entire block in the business section of New York was destroyed. The fire start ed in big garage and 100 machines were destroyed.
 The flames spread with great rap idity, and Chief Kenyon called out forty machines from lower New York to control the flames. The big high pressure system, with its many streams of water was turned onto the flames, but in spite of the work of the department the .onflagration was not under control until the en- tire block was in ruins.
 The explosions of gasoline in the buildings sounded like cannonading, and the police fearing that the crowd would be injured, established fire lines four blocks from the blaze. Sev- eral fremen were overcome by the smoke, but were carried out of the building by their companions.
 The loss is several millions of dol lars.

GERMANS SECURE
 BELGIAN PAPERS
Envoys Quoted Against England and France in the Moroccan and
 Agadir Cases.

BERLIN, Sept. S.-The Nor deutsche Allgemeine ZeitGng contin- ues it's publication of the secret re- ports prepared by the Belgian minis ters at the European capitals prior to the outbreak of the war and found by the German authorities in the archives at Brussels. The docu- ments found today deal with the Moroccan crisis. The Overseas News Agency has prepared the following summary of the report for transmits sion abroad:
 "The origin of the Moroccan trou- bles is characterized by the Belgian minister at Paris under cate of April 29, 1911, thus:
 England, who has pushed France into the Morocco muddle, LOW consid- CTS her work with satisfaction.
 Frances attitude toward the Mo- rocco question was provCcatory. The Belgian Minister at Berlin wrote on April 21, 1911:
 The Algeciras conv>ntion was signed by France, though with firm. intention never to keep it.
 France was soon so far advanc- ed into the Morocco muddle that she could not withdraw and had to pro- yoke German protest. The Belgian Minister at London on May 9, 1911. wrote:
 "'The occupation of FeZ, for in- stance, would present an aspect of being too permanent or an encroach- ment upon the spirit. if not upon the letter, of engagements tt.i;en in Alge- ciras, and could furnish an occasion for the intervention of Berlin
 Things soon advanced into gro- tesque situation. The Belgian min ister at Berlin on June IT, 1911, wrote:
 "'As MT. Zimmerman. the Assis- tant Secretary of the German For eign Office, told me yesterday on the other hand, MT. Cambon, the French ambassador at Berlin, takes pains almost every day to explain the es- sential difference between French and Spanish action in Morocco-that of Spain being a fragrant violation of the Algeciras act, while that of France is only it's execution. T lis tened to these explanations with a serious face," wrot. the Assistant Secretary, who added that "it really was amusing to listen to lawyers speeches in tnese court proceedil g. about a forgery."'
 In the sane report til" Minister added:
 :" Several os my colleagues are as' tonished by Germany's patience
 When the Panther apnca""h of the coast of Morocco, at Agacir. j, was evident that Englani wanted tc com olicate the situation aIl to force a violent solution of the crisis. The Belgian Minister at Paris on July 8 1911, wrote:
 There will be less chance for ar understanding with Germany if Eng land participates in the converse tion.'"
