The fifteenth corps which suffered
heavily in the last fight, had the gaps
in its ranks filled and formed a part of
one of the two armies. It executed a
brilliant counter attack in the valley of
Vezouse. The attitude of the troops
was splendid effacing all memories of
their conduct on August 20.
Notwithstanding the fatigue of a
three days battle, and, losses they had
undergone, the, morale of the troops
was excellent, and they were anxious
to resume fighting.
The outstanding incident of Sunday
was the fighting between the Algerian'
and Senegalese riflemen and the Prus
sian guard. Our African soldiers
hurled themselves with unbridled fury
on this solid body and the attack be-
; came a hand-to-hand combat, in which
the guard suffered heavily. The Ger

LONDON, Aug. 25 The following
dispatch has been received from Ber

"It Is officially announced " that
Germa;n-Austro-Hungarian consuls in j
Tangier were ordeved to leave by j
the French government on 'August !
19. The Italian steamer Ancona,
from New York for Italian ports, was
held up near Gibraltar. About sev

twenty officers 'and 300 dragoons,
with many guns, have been brought

"Fourteen officers and 170 . men -.of
the crew of the Austrian ' cruiser
Zenta, said to have been sunk Au
gust 16 in an engagement with the
French fleet, have sought refuge in
Montenegrin territory. The Press, (in
commenting on this engagement,
says the men on the Zenta, inspired
by the spirit of Tegethoff (a noted
Austrian admival) ventured into the
open sea to engage in battle a force
probably fifty times stronger, with
the object of doing as much dam
age to the enemy as possible, even
though they knew that certain de
struction awaited them."
The German emperor sent the fol
lowing telegram to the king of Wurt
emburg: "With God's gracious assistance,
the Duke of Albrecht and his splen

Losses of Russia ,
L'ONDON, Aug. 25. Telegraphing
from St. Petersburg, Reuter'a cor
respondent says:
'"The chief losses in Russia up to
the present have resulted from the
determination of the rank and file of
the Russian army to get at the
enemy. Although the mounted
guard in the central army has suf
fered heavily, infantry operations
have been very satisfactory.
"Mounted officers arriving at St.
Petersburg in relating their stories
of the front dwell on the fear dis
played by the Germans of the Rus
sian cavalry.
"Military experts say the equipment
of the Germans is excellent and their
artillery good but that their rifle
shooting is deficient in accuracy.
They add that the Japanese were in
finitely superior in this respect in
the Russo-Japanese war and accom
plished in an hour what the Ger
mans would require a day to do.
"It stated that in one case a Rus
sian squadron attacked a battery,
and captured all its guns. The Ger
man soldiers aresaid to have dis
carded their rifles and their officers
to have thrown off their swords and
even their helmets."

it " nlliirtpd to Premier Asauith's
statement in the house of commons
twbt" British tronns had ereatlv aided
the French and had been able to
maintain their positions in the face
of -fierce German attacks. He saia
that he sent a telegram to Sir John
French commander of the British
expeditionary force, reading as fol
lows "
""Congratulate the troops on their
splendid work. We are proud of
them." -

wars Great Britain usually engagea
in Hp uaid he was sure that the
public was fully prepared to meet
whatever - losses . and saorlltces , tne

paid a tribute to the readiness of the
expeditionary force, and the Invalu
ahip nid of the oress and public in
preserving silence and accepting the
novel situation.-
"We know how deeply the French
neoole aDnrecia'te the value of the
prompt assistance," Kitchener con
tinued, "that we have been able to
afford them at the very outset of
the war, not onb in giving moral
and material support, but our troops
must also prove a factor of high
military significance in restricting
the sphere and determining the du
ration, of the hostilities.
"If conditions of strategy are per
mitted, every one in this country
would have been rejoiced if we could

associated press dispatch
LONDON, Aug. 25. Some eight
hundred American tourists from
Switzerland arrived in London this
afternoon, having ; come through
France by special train.
Many Americans are still at Bou
logne waiting for boats to England.
Great quantities of baggage lost by
Americans on the continent in the
last three weeks are now reaching
England.
A dispatch from Amsterdam says
the flood of stranded Americans to
The Netherlands is still running high
and Rotterdam, the only place where
It is possible to get steamers direct
for the United States, is crowded to
its capacity.
The steamer Rotterdam is sched
uled to leave Rotterdam next Satur
day with 2000 American passengers.
Remaining Americans must wait for
other ships.
The international tourist office es
timates there are even now some
thing like 45,000 Americans in Eu
rope. The American resident relief com
mittee met members of the dissolv
ing American citizens' committee to
day and arranged to carry on the
work of caring for stranded Ameri
cans. Herbert C. Hoover, chairman
of the residents committee, ordered
an investigation into a charge that
the employes of the steamship lines
were demanding fees for reserving
berths for Americans.
The rush of Americans from Italy,
Switzerland, France and Holland to
London continues unabated, and lim
ited steamship accommodations here
indicate that many weeks will elapse
before the congestion in England is
relieved.
From ail parts of Belgium refugees
are arriivng at Ostend, says the cor
respondent of- Renter's Telegram
company. t Some come from distant
Charleroi and other points along the
Sambre, where they say they were
being deafened by the roar of artill-
eryv More guns are being used in
action than they thought existed.
These people and all classes are
now on a level,, the rich or those who
were rich finding it just as difficult
to get the necessaries of life as the
poorest.
The hotels are crowded by persons
of means who, having lost their bag
gage, have nothing but what they are
wearing. Many young "Bruxellois,
who belonged to the civic guard, but
who were disarmed and deprived of
their uniforms, are going about in
the cheapest clothes, purchased In
the back streets of Ostend.

Already the great European war is making itself felt right here at home.

prices of edibles here in America are going up by leaps and bounds.
THE WAR HAS JUST BEGUN.
WHAT WILL THE END BE?
There's one food that will not advance in price a food Europe is now calling

although the privilege, perforce, has
been denied us, Belgium knows our
sympathy is with her in her suf
ferings and our indignation at the
blows which have been inflicted upon
er, also of our resolution to make
sure that none of her sacrifices will
ave been unavailing.
"While other countries engaged in
this war have under their systems
of compulsory service brought their
full resources Into the field, we are
under the national system and our
reserves have not been compelled to
report for service. Therefore, we still
ave a vast reserve to draw from
the resources of both the mother
country and the dominions.
'Response which has already been
made by the Dominions abundantly
proves we have not looked in vain to
these sources for military strength,
while India, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand are sending powerful con
tingents, and the territorials of this
country are replying loyally to the
stern call of duty, which came to
them with such exceptional force."

The French embassy in London to

The movement which was begun
yesterday by order of the commander-
in-chief continued today without sue
cesfful opposition by the enemy. It is
confirmed that the Prussian corps of

by Algerian riflemen and In the hand-

Germans suffered heavily. Attacks
against Nancy failed. Russians are

The British official news bureau
says:
'There lias been no further general

British troops is in every way satisfactory."
ASSOCIATED press dispatch
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 An
acute situation has arisen in the
Balkan states aver the possible entry
of Turkey into the European war
according to official advices to the
American government from various
sources.
Turkey has not yet given Great
Britain, France and Russia satisfac
tory explanation of the entry into the
Dardanelles of the German cruisers
Goeben and Breslau. When it was
reported first that Turkey had pur
chased these, vessels. Great Britain,
France and Russia demanded that
the crews of the two ships be re
patriated immediately. Today's dis
patches revealed that the German
crews are still aboard the cruisers.
Many Washington diplomats familiar
with the situation consider it prac
tically certain should Turkey side
with Germany and Austria, that
Italy would abandon her position of
neutrality and join Great Britain,
France, Russia and Servia, who would
count also upon the assistance of
Greece. Troops of the Ottoman em
pire are quietly mobilizing without
any public order to that effect.
