London, Aug. 31.—Details of the Brit
lsh retreat from Mons Indicate that the
British suffered heavily.
Field Marshal Sir John French, com
mander in chief of the British forces In
the field, pinces the loss at 6,000 men
The British were greatly outnumbered,
but, although driven back steadily
from Aug. until Aug. 26, they fought
stubbornly, and at no time was the re
treat a rout Tliey succeeded in reform
lug on the Cambral-Le Cateau-Landre
cles line, the center of the army of the
north, and rested and had been re-en
forced so that they ngnln took the of
fensive.
For the 0,000 men lost 12.000 men
had been added to the British line, and
new guns hi 1 been added to replace,
gun for gun, tl ose lost in the retreat
from Mons.
The French also have received re
euforcements and are holding both
Hunks In the offensive movement, the
aim of which Is to drive the Germans
back to the positions occupied before
the disastrous engagements of the past
week.
Reports Indicate that the allies are
now in a position in which they are
confident of success.
In the Russo-German theater of war
Russia's two main rruiles, one operat
lng In East Fruseta and the other In
Galida, continue their successes, ac
cording to dispatches from St. Peters
burg.
In East Prusstn the Russians are en
gaged at Thorn and Gruudeoz, on the
Vistula.
In Gallcia a battle is reported Id
progress east of Lemberg. The Rus
sians have brought up re-enforcements
and report that they have captured
large numbers of prisoners In this dis
trict
London, Aug. 31.—French troops
have resumed the offensive agnlnst the
Germans In the north of France, where
both the French and British armies
have been re-enforced. General French
reports that the British losses from
the 23d to 2Gth are between 6,000 and
8,000.
London, Aug. 31.—German pressure
on the French and British In northern
France has appreciably slackened with
in the last two days, while the French,
through the arrival of re-enforcements,
have been able to assume the offensive. J
It Is admitted, however, in Taris that
the counter attack has not been crown
ed with success so far. The French
war office promises speedy resumption
of the onslaught on the kaiser's invad
ing columns.
England took heart In a growing Im
pression that the fortunes of war are
about to turn In favor of the allies. It
Is admitted that the first German move
ment has been successful in that the
French and British forces were driven
into retreat from Belgium and far in
side the borders of France. It Is real
ized. also, that the losses of the allies,
while less than those of the Germans,
have been very heavy. But military
experts assert, the retreat was carried
out In good order, and now Germany
faces a wall of 3,000,000 French and
British soldiers who are operating
under tile protecting guns of the great
est fortresses In the world.
Will Meet superior i-orce.
Agnlnst this "Une of steeel" the kai
ser's "iron ring" will be thrown in all
its fury, but the invaders will not now
be in snpereior numbers, as they were
in Belgium, nnd wherever they assail
the French they will find their ad
vances met with counter attacks.
Boulogne has not been evacuated by
the allies, and German soldiers have
not appeared near the town, the mayor
of the city telegraphs. This news had
a greatly cheering effect In England,
where the loss of the seaport across
the channel would be regarded senti
mentally as a disaster, even if the city
Is not to tigure in the French scheme of
defense.
The German attack against the
French center appears to hnve been
abandoned for the time being. Two
great German armies are in this re
gion, commanded by the Crown Prince
Wilhelm and Crown Prince Itupprecht
of Bavaria. Their combined forces are
estimated at 800.000 men. Re-enforce
ments of three German and two Aus
trian army corps, about 300,000 men,
are now on the way to strengthen this
force.
While the censorship prevents dis
closure of the dispositions of French
troops, it is regarded as a certainty
that France is prepared to meet this
attack on the center with at least
1,000,000 men.
Attention is called to the fact that
France undoubtedly has at least 2,600,
000 soldiers in the Held, perhaps 3,000,
XX). Yet there were few French troops
In Belgium, and there are apparently
less than 300,000 in northern France.
These facts lead to the belief that
ne opposition in Belgium was not in
ο tu led to lie more than sufficient to de
lay the German advance and that
Prance's scheme of campaign from the
tirst has been to array her greatest
forces along the line of her forts,
where the offensive could be assumed
at will and where the Germans would
be exposed to frightful slaughter if
they attacked.
Kaiser1· Campaign Weaken·.
Withdrawal of almost all his troops
in Belgium for the relief of East Prus
sia, where the czar's legions nre push
ing forward in a triumphal march, In
dicates the weakening of the kaiser's
measures to break through France by
«beer weight of numbers. England
and France expect this embarrassment
to become bo great that Germai y will
be obliged to abandon all offensive
operations against France and will
then settle down to η campaign of de
fense, in which she will be attacked in
both her eastern and western prov
inces.
France, however, is carefully avoid
ing the errors of overconfldence which
proved so disastrous in 1870-71. Paris
Is preparing for a siege as If the Ger
mans were already at her gates. De
struction of all buildings that might
embarrass the defense has already
be«n ordered, entailing the obliteration
of the city'· beautiful suburbs, ββη

German· Persistent.
London, Aug. 81.—The Times In a
ipeclal edition prints a long story from
Its special correspondent at Amiens on
the seriousness of the situation in
northern Prance. The Times corre
spondent says:
"We have to count the losses, take
stock of the situation and set our
teeth."
He continues:
"Along the Sambre and In the angle
of the Sambre and the Meuse the
French after days of long, gallant
fighting broke, Namur fell, and Gen
eral JoCTre "was forced to order a re
treat along the whole line. The Ger
mans, fulfilling the one best of all the
precepts of war, never gave the re
treating allies a single moment's rest
The pursuit was immediate, relentless,
unresting. Aeroplanes, Zeppelins, ar
mored motorcars, cavalry, were loosed
like arrows from a bow and served Im
mediately to harass the retiring col
umns and also to keep the German
staff fully informed of the movements
of the allies.
"The British fell back through Bavai
on the front between Valenciennes and
Maubeuge. then through Le Quesney,
where there was desperate lighting,
southward. Continually the regiments
were grievously injured, and the bro
ken army fought Its way desperately.
At many stands It was forced back
wards, ever backwards, by the sheer,
unconquerable mass and numbers of
an enemy prepared to throw away
three or four men for the life of every
Britisher."
MOU DROPS
FIVE BOMBS IN
HEART OF PARIS
London, Aug. 31.—A Paris dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph company
says:
"A German aviator flew over Paris
and dropped five bombs, which fell In
th» most populous quarter of the city.
In one case two women were wounded.
"One bomb fell In front of the shop
of a baker and wine merchant, at the
corner of the Kue Alhouy and the Hue
des Vinaigriers; two on the Quai de
Valmy, one of which did not explode;
the other struck the walls of the Night
Hefuge, behind St. Martin's hospital.
Two others dropped In the Hue des
Hecollets and Hue Marcin, neither of
I which exploded.
"The aviator, who signed himself
Lieutenant von Heidsson, dropped
manifestoes on which was written:
" 'The German army is at the gates
of Paris. Voti can do nothing but sur
render.' "
According to other dispatches, no
damage was done, and, though startled
by this threatening occurrence, Pa
risians remained tranquil. All have
been gradually accustomed to consider
much more serious events as possl
bllitles, and the people of the capital
are equal to either fortune, hard won
success In the north or a temporary
reverse.
ANGLO-GERMAN PRINCE !N FIX
Duke of Brunswiok Owes Allegiance to
Both Nation·.
London, Aug. 81.—The position of the
young I)uke of Brunswick is a very
uncomfortable one at present He Is
the son-in-law of the kaiser and the
nominal head of the army in his duchy.
At the same time he is a British prince,
and is llabl» to be shot as a traitor
no matter which side he a'dopts. The
kaiser Insists that the youug prince
shall take his place at the head of bis
famous "Black Brunswlckers." He has
applied for permission to leave Gçr
many and to live In the Netherlands
or some other neutral state, but it Is
not at all likely that the permission
will be grunted.
Oddity of Draama.
"Nobody ever feels pain In a dream,"
said a psychologist "Rage, terror, Joy,
grief—these emotions stab us as poign
antly in dream as in reality. But
physical pain, no. I have interrogated
2,000 persons, and none of tbem ever
suffered dream pains. Yet they have
dreamed of dreadful motor accidents,
tortures, death. One young girl, in
deed, dreamed time and again of be
ing eaten alive by cannibals, yet even
In that horriblo nightmare she felt no
pain."

RUSSIAN TROOPS
ENGAGED IK TWO
FIERCE BATTLES
St. Petersburg, Aug. 31.—In western
Prusstn the Russians are fighting the
garrisons of the fortress towns of
Thorn and Graudenz. The Russian ad
vanee continues along the Austrian
front and fighting Is still taking place.
From Kielce troops are being sent
along the right bank of the Vistula to
participate In the battle east of Lem
berg, where the Russians made 8.000
prisoners. At Podgaytzy the Austrl
ans have also lost 3,000 men, thirteen
guns and large stores of provisions.
Both east and north of Tomasbem
thousands of prisoaers have been tak
en. The whole Fifteenth Hungarian
division surrendered. The Austro
Hungarians are now concentrated with
their main forces in the direction of
Lublin.
Berlin, Ang. 31., by wireless via Say
vllle, Ν. Y.—The latest news from Al
lenstein, a town of Cast Prussia, sixty
five miles south of Koenlgsberg, indi
cates that the German army Is ener
getically pressing the Russians (wire
less station unable to read few words).
Russian endnrance Is described as ter
rific. Corpses lie In heaps on the bat
tlefield. Many prisoners, Including one
Russian general, were captured.
London, Aug. 31.—A dispntch to the
Daily Mali from St Petersburg says
that the Russian advance continues
successfully In all* theaters of Russian
operations and that It is only a ques
tion of a few days when the Germans
will be driven beyond the Vistula.
German* Fall Back.
London, Aug. 31.—Russia continues
lier terror inspiring march through
eastern Germany almost without check.
From the north, where Koenlgsberg.
the fortress key to the Baltic sea, is
now besieged, far to the south, where
Leraberg, metropolis of Austrian Ga
flria, trembles at the approach of the
Invader, the czar's columns blaze their
way through the German lines In ir
resistible onslaught
The Vistula river already has been
crossed at several points by the Rus
sians, and the entire line of this
stream, which Is of great strategic
value, it is believed will be In the pos
session of the army of Invasion within
a few days.
Germany apparently miscalculated
the time In which Russia's mobilization
would be completed, or else underesti
mated the soldierly ability of her foe,
for the kaiser's forces have fallen back
before the czar's armies as before an
avalanche.
Germany tried to halt the march of
the Russians at Allensteln. For several
days the battle raged, but the town has
fallen. An official dispatch from Ber
lin pays tribute to the valor of the
Russians, whose endurance is describ
ed as "terrific." The German account of
the battle says the field of conflict was
strewn with bodies of dead In heaps.
The Germans report the capture of
many prisoners, including one Russian
general.
In engagement» of great Importance
on the southern end of the battle line,
in Austrian Galicia, the Austrians are
offering more effective resistance than
the Germans are meeting in the north
Russian official dispatches state that
In one battle to cross the Vistula, in
which tbey were successful, the Aus
trlans stubbornly contested their posi
Hons until they were obliged to retreat
leaving 3,000 of their dead on the bat
tlefield.
SULTAN OFFERS
HIS WHOLE NAVY
TO THE KAISER
Borne, Aug. 31.—Turkey's entry Into
the big European war is hourly ex
pected. Dispatches from such authori
tative sources as to render their au
thenticity beyond question say that
German naval and military officers
and marines are flocking Into the Otto
man capital almost daily and that
military preparations· are apparent
throughout the empire. Eight hundred
sailors from the kaiser's navy passed
through Bulgaria on their way to
Constantinople Friday. A special train
with 150 German officers and sub
alterns on board was reported as leav
ing I'hllippopolls on Aug. 24, aud on
the following day another detachment
of officers from the same army went
south through Sofia. A German light
cruiser is at Smyrna ready to steam
for Constantinople, It Is said. The gen
eral belief in military circles through
out southern Europe Is that Germany
will control the army and fleet of Tur
key In future stages of the war and
that the sultan will exert bis whole
military strength In behalf of the
kaiser.
Turkey's hope in the rumored move
Is evidently the recovery of Macedonia
and the Aegean Islands. Her declara
tion of war 1b expected to revive the
Balkan league and inflame the penin
sula Into participation In the great
conflict. No one doubts that Greece
will follow the entry of Turkey Into
the struggle with promptitude and
that Italy's support of the allies will
not be far behind. Greece, Indeed, has
already promised 100.(X)0 troops to
Servia. and Italy has been marshaling
her forces for several weeks with the
reported Intention of launching her
strength against Austria.

learned that when operations begin lu
earnest a railway line will be kept open

IN SAMOA SEIZED
DÏ THE BRITISH
London, Aug. 31.—It Is officially ail·

man Samoa, surrendered at 10 o'clock
ou Aug. 20 to au expeditionary force
sent by the government to New Zea
land.
Germany's possessions In the Samoan
archipelago consisted of eight Islands
of the fourteen, the other six beonglng
to the United States. Germany's eight
were Savali, Manouo, Apolima, Upolu,
Fanuatapu, Manua, Nuutele aud Nu
ulua. Of these, the largest is Savali,
with au area of 000 square miles and
a total population of 13.200, nearly all
native.
Upolu, on which stands Apia, the
ancient capital of the Samoau king
dom aud present colonial capital of
the German Islands, is a long, narrow
Island with an area of 340 square miles,
and a total population of IS,400. Above

American ships Trenton, Nlpsic and
Vandalia, and the German cruisers
Olga, Adler aud Eber went ashore,
practically all the crews of the Ger
man ships being lost. The BrltlsU
Calliope escaped from the harbor and
reached the open sea in safety in the
height of the storm.
"MAILED FIST" IN ENGLAND.
Kitchener Threatens to Arrest Editor
and "Think About" Charge.
London, Aug. 31.-There Is an
amusing story traversing Fleet street
of a daily paper editor being sum
moned to the war office In connection
with an untrue "scare" story that had
been published. He would get another
chance, said Lord Kitchener, but on
the next occasion he would be arrested.
"On what charge will you arrest
me?" asked Tlie editor.
"I'll arrest you first," answered
Kitchener of Khartum, "and thiafc
about the charge afterward."
Is this the "mailed'' list? ^
The Temple of Zeui.
All that remains of the great temple
of Zeus, which was 700 years in build
ing, is to be found about 150 yards
from the foot of the Acropolis at Ath
ens. The ruins consist of sixteen col
umns of the Corinthian order, six and
one-half feet in diameter and sixty feet
high. It was the second largest temple
erected by the Greeks, one superior to
It In size being tbe temple of Diana at
Ephesus. According to a legend, Its
foundatien was built by Deucalion, the
Greek Noah, who from this point wit
nessed the waters of the flood sub
side. An opening In the ground Is said
to be the orifice through whlcU (ftp
flood disappeared.
