000 German. French and Belgian troops
over a battle line extending from the
Interior of Belgium southwestward
along the French border to the north
ern boundary of Switzerland.
An appeal Is made to the public to
follow with coolness and calmness the
various phases of the operations
In some quarters it is biHfs) d that
the mighty conflict has opened in earn
est, following a week of skirmishing.
A telegram from Brussels says that,
while it is believed there that the gen
eral engagement has not begun, the
sound of a violent cannonade has been
heard In the direction of Diest and
Hougaerde since three o'clock in the
morning. Hougaerde Is two and one
half miles from Tlerlemont and 25
miles from Brussels.
The Martin says:
"The French govemmen? will not
ive out early bulletins cf the great
battle, but will wait for definite and
tangible results. It may be t. week or
Aon f sr.
"This mutt be to from the Mature of
things The battle line is so long that
victory or repulse at one point may be
offset by the opposite at others. To
report the various sporadic engage- '
mofits would be misleading and dis
jrbing to the entire public.
The last news from the theater of
operations has been issued. For the
next few days all will be silent In
Paris, while Belgium once again be
comes the cockpit of Europe. The pre
liminary engagements of the first

break the French took the offensive
again, the infantry being supported by
artillery. The action continued through
out the morning.
The German troops, which are be
lieved to have consisted of a Bavarian
army corps, then occupied the heights
which command the districts to the

double flanking movement, forced the
Bavarians to retreat in the direction
of Saarburg.

fierce and well conducted. The Ger
mans suffered serious losses, not only

Zeleheim.
Under the blazing August sun,
throughout the entire day, the inces
sant artillery and rifle fire was kept

PANAMA CANAL OPENED;
U. S. SHIP MAKES TRIP
Waterway Through Panama Zone Is
Now Ready for World's
Vessels.
Panama, Aug. 17. The canal zone
celebrated the opening of the canal.
The festivities, however, were only
local and suggested little of the inter
national significance of the event.
With the official Panama celebration
set for next spring, even the LTnited
States was not officially represented
except by the men who have long been
in the Canal zone.
The steamship Ancon, owned by the
United States war department and
leased to the Panama railroad for ser
vice in the New York-Colon trade, was
chosen as the first big boat to be put
through, signalizing the opening of the
canal to all ships up to 10,000 tons reg
ister. Shortly before nine o'clock in the
morning the Ancon started from the
Atlantic side and arrived in the Pacific
at six o'clock in the evening.
Invitations to be guests on this first
trip had been much coveted and the
rails were lined with local canal offi
cials and those of the Panama repub
lic, together with their ladies, as the
big steamer backed away from her
berth. Col. George Goethals, builder
of the canal and governor of the zone,
was on the bridge beside Captain
Sukeforth of the steamer, together
with Capt. Hugh Rodman, U. S. N.,
superintendent of transportation, who
lias overseen the plans for putting the
first ship through.
Other distinguished guests included
President Porras of the republic of
Panama and his staff.
The Panama National band and the
regimental band of the Tenth United
States infantry played "The Star
Spangled Banner" as the ship pulled
away, but the music was almost
drowned by the whistles of the steam
ers in the harbor.

followed. In all, the negro killed six and in
flicted injuries on three others. His
wife was permitted to run away un

been in blood and treasure if the Rus

which the assault cost us. This is a
military success, the importance of
which is absolutely incalculable. Had
