I PROGRESS OF THE WORLD'S
GREATEST BATTLE.
Writing for the New York Post, a
military expert sees in the present
campaign a parallel of the great
struggle In 1870. The German maneu
vers today are very similar to that
earlier conflict anil tho old Von i
Moltke plan evidently has been re-,
adopted.
Ho says it Is an error to imagine
the German invading force broken "P
into separate armies. Krom Luxem
burg, north and west to beyond Liege
it Is one army made up of different
branches constantly In touch and
supporting each other and he recalls
"The precedent of 1870 may be in
structive on this point. The Germans
then placed three armies In the field,
with a total strength, at the begin
ning, of 385.000 men. But this force
was concentrated on a front of about!
fifty miles only. The so-called First?
and Second armies were, until after (
Gravellote, virtually one force, and
the corps and divisions of one army
were frequently called to the rein
fereement of the other by the sound
of cannonading At Spicheron and at
Gravelotte-St. Privat the First and
I Second armies co-operated, and the
Third army, swinging further south,
was, during this first stage of the
war hardly more than a day's hard
march away from the main forces
"If we assume that the same plan
of advancing in comparatively close
formation is part of the German plan
today, just as the method of attack
on fortified places by regiments In
close formation seems to have been
letalned, it may help us to frame a
lair hypothesis as to where the bulk
ni the German forces are to be found
Assume that, roughly speaking, the
German strength at the front today
when mobilization must be pretty well
completed, is twice what it was in
1870, arguing simply from the. rela
t ire population in 187(1 and now. We
would then have something like 800,
'(io men in the first line of battle, a
number which is not far from esti
mates obtained in other ways. But
I if, In 1870, a force of nearly 400,000
men occupied a front of fifty miles,
the same reasoning from analogy
would indicate a front of 100 miles
foi the German forces of advance to
day. '
"Now we know where the northern
end of this German line Is today at
Liege, and to the north. If the north
ern end of the 100-mile front Is at
Liege its southern end would be nidi
cated around Met and some distance
to the south, but not far enough to
rpach Alsace. An extension of the
from further south would mean a
thinning of the line and the abandon
ment of the plan of adance by armies
closely in contact In Alsace, un
doubtedly, there are German forces
in sufficient strength to check a
French inroad such as we seem to be
confronting today, but that object
might be attained even after part of
the forces in southern Germany had
been diverted towards Lorraine in
the vicinity of Metz and Dledenhofen
If the German army of the north had
been unchecked at Liege Its adance
down the Meuse to Namur would have
brought it In alignment with the for
ces massing in Luxemburg and Lor
raine. Such a front would present
a line of northeast thrust against
Fiance, almost parallel to the line ot
pressure in 1870."
Today's dispatches from German
sources report the French defeated'
at Neufchateau. An earlier message

Keen anxiety is felt not njily In the United States but throughout Europe over the entrance of Japan into
the arena of the world war. That she has determined to plunge into the conflict for purely seltish reasons is the
general belief. ShouJd Germany be defeated Japan would take from her, not only Kiau-Chau in China, but in all
likelihood the other eastern German possessions, Including the Ladrone and the Caroline islands, and the kaiser's
land in Samoa and New Guinea.
tiotn Paris gave a rumor to the ef
fect that the Germans had entered
Nancy The ono confirms the other
If the Kaiser's men have gained a
lctory at that point, then thM have
broken through one of the main points
of defense on the French frontier To
have done so, they must have swept
down on the French In great num
bers and with dash and tremendous
power of artillery.
This would indicate that, notwith
standing the great shou ot strength
near Namur and even west as far as
I Mons in Belgium, the German main
i army is coming down through Luxera
1 burg and striking at some of the
I strongest fortifications of the allies.
Paris Is almost silent on the pro
gress of the big battle which has
been on since early Sunday, and that
jibsence of news may be accepted as
unfavorable to the French armies.

CLOSING OF THE OGDEN
GATEWAY.
Denver & Rio Grande railroad offi
cials claim i hat (he Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line are preparing to
close the Ogden gateway, and, in a
long statement, they set forth why
Utah should carry a complaint to the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
from which we quote us follows:
"On August 18. through the good
offices of a friendly connection, the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad learned
lhat the Union Pacific-Oregon Short
Line Railroad company were endeav
oring (and they are continuing to do
so) to close the Ogden gateway, both
east and westbound, to passengers
desiring to travel via the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad, and connecting
lines, cast of Colorado common
points, and a few days later copy or
the notice, promulgated in the east,
reached Denver and Salt Lake The
notice reads as follows:
"Omaha. Neb, Aug. 13. 1914

as current tariffs can be cither sup
plemented or reissued interchange

City will be discontinued Such busi
ness must be routed ia I nion Pacific
between Denver, Colo , or authorized
points of interchange east thereof on
the ono hand and Granger, Wyoming,
or Ogden, Utah, on the other.
" Interchange on traffic to or from

"'Interchange on traffic originating

th reverse, will continue as at pres
ent "'All addressed are respectfully re
queated to arrange to eliminate from
tariffs all routing in conflict with the
above, and for withdrawal of tickets
accordingly.'
Commenting on the foregoing Union
Pacific Instructions, the Denver &
Rio Grande officials say:
'Should the Ogden gateway be
closed, the Burlington, Rock Island,
Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific, Colorado
& Southern, Colorado Midland, and
their connections, would be unable to
ticket passengers to Oregon Short
Line destinations, through Colorado
and Utah, and the result would be
to divert from Denver, Colorado
Springs. Manitou, Pueblo. Canon City,
Leadville, Gmnd Junction, Green Riv
er. Price Provo, Salt Iake and Og
den, aJl travel originating in the
east and south destined to Oregon
Short Line points, and also the very
large Yellowstone Park and other
round-trip tourist and commercial
travel, that for twenty years has been
moving through Colorado and Utah,
stopping at many points en route.
"A part of this diverted travel
would move through Cheyenne and
Granger, but the major portion of
that which has heretofore passed
through Colorado and Utah would be
ticketed through St Paul. Billings,
and other northwestern routeB, to the
very gTeat disadvantage of Colorado
end Utah cities and towns, by reason
of the loss of patronage, as well as
the great Inconvenience of travelers
and tourists who desire to travel that
way
"Until a few years ago, the growing
travel to Yellowstone park was rout
ed through St. Paul. Billings and the
Gardiner gateway, but recently the
major portion of this tourist and
pleasure travel has been ticketed
through Colorado and Utah by reason
of the attractions of Denver and Salt
Lake City as well as the many resorts
and scenic features of the Rocky
mountains. All of this immense trav
el will be ticketed in other directions,
if the Ogden gateway is closed to the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and its
eastern connections There are also
lo be considered the commercial tra
eler, the homeseeker and others des
tined to Montana and Idaho points,
who will not have the privilege of
traveling through Colorado and Utah
"The merchants, hotels, local sight
seeing railroads and resort attractions
will suffer If the proposed action on
tho part of the Union Pacific lines
becomes operative. It is anticipated
that commercial bodies throughout all
of the cities In the Rocky mountain
region will protest to the Interstate
Commerce Commission If the Union
Pacific Oregon Short Line persist in
their endeavor to close the gateway.
"Only recently the Union Pacific
railroad closed the Denver and Ogden
gateways to freight destined to Ore
gon Short Line territory, and now
they are ondeavorlng to still further
discriminate against Colorado and
Utah by diverting all passenger travol
from these states."
Local Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line officials admit that the
Ogden gateway is dosed to Denver &
Rio Grande exchange of passengers
to this extont, that passenger traffic
originating in Union Pacific and Ore
gon Short Line territory is being
routed over those lines to the ex
clusion of the Gould roads, but this
does not prevent a choice of routes,
as, for instance, a traveler desiring
to go east from Logan, Utah, can buy
a ticket to Ogden over the Oregon
Short Line and from here take the
Rio Grande. The- local plus the
through rate may be slightly higher
in that case than it the trip was
made entirely over the Union Pacific
and its connections. But, It Is claim
ed, this will not lessen passenger
traffic through Ogden, and may in
crease the number of lay-overs owinp,
to this being the point of transfer
In this territory from the Oregon
Short Lin to the Union Pacific. At
present all passengers from tho north
going oer the Denver & Rio Grande
are transferred at Salt Lake
So it would seem that Ogden has
no mix up In this rivalry", at least not
to the extent to joining in an appeal
to the Interstate Commerce commit
sion.
DISTANCES IN THE
WAR ZONE.
Distances are an important part ot
the war newa of today Here is the
mileage separating many of the prin
cipal points in the war zone
Brussels to Paris, 200 miles.
Namur to Paris, 191 miles.
Liege to Namur, miles
Namur to Brussels, 35 milea.
Verdun to Paris, 175 miles.
Nancy to Paris, L'l'H miles.
Strassburg to Nancy, 74 miles
If the Germans are at Nancy, they
have a distance to cover equal to
that from Ogden to Elko, Nevada.

A FINAL WORD ON THAT
BASEBALL SCANDAL.
Just a word with the Salt Lake
Tribune. The Tribune is fairly well
'managed and yet wiUiln th,e past
week that paper has allowed a writer
of sports to make the sporting page a
libel on Ogden and a number of the
most respected and substantial citi
zens of this community.
The first attack might have crept
Into that papers columns by reason
of the latitude all papers give their
department editors, but a repetition
of the offense In aggravated form has
caused no end of indignant protest
in this city
Among the men singled out for
defamation Is Archie Blgelow. one of
the foremost business men of this
community who holds the esteem of
every one who knows him The
game of buseball, which has present
ed the excuse for the attack on Mr.
Blgelow, is not worth the cost If.
because of It. men of unimpeachable
character, are to be traduced.
We believe the Tribune owes Mr.
Bigelow and the people generally or
Ogden an apology, following the
scandalous criticism in its columns
over the Dowliug affair.
For the benefit of the Tribune man
agement, we state that this whole
uproar In Union Association baseball
and whatever disgraceful scenes have
occurred during the league games are
directly traceable to the rowdyism oX
the Salt Lake team from the begin
ning of this season's games up to the
present, condoned as it must have
been by the directors of that club.
Had there been no baiting of the um
pire by tho Salt Lakers, had clean
ball been played from the start, nei
ther Dowling nor any other player
on the Ogden team would have
thought of assaulting the umpire.
That is the view taken In Ogden.
Furthermore if the Tribune will do
a little quiet investigating, it will
discover that iLs sporting writer, evi
dently for no other purpose than to
give a sting to his slurs on the entire
Ogden club, deliberately manufactured
the statement that Archie Bigelow
manifested approval of Dowling's at
tack on Spencer by smiling at the as
adult
There is more feeling in Ogden
over this affair, because of the un-
called for and unjustifiable involving
of our prominent people, than may be
realized in the Tribune office, and,
therefore, wo have gone somewhat
out of our way to try, for its own
good, to set the Tribune right.

through Germany two French maids,
a Belgian maid and an English valet.
These four sen ants came through
the country of their enemy under the
protection of the Stars and Stripes.
vm ui meni wore American nags
and they assumed a6 much Amer
ican self possession as they were cap
able of. The ruse was entirely suc
cessful, due mainly to the fact that
no passports wer demanded of the
party in Germany.
Shortly after war was declared, a
French cook in a Carlsbad hotel start
ed a disturbance by insulting a Ger

ton says a mob numbering probably
300ft persons chased the cook and beat
him severely. The local police saved
him from being lynched by taking
bim into custody.
Among the Englishmen at Carlsbad

i ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS
ISSUE STATEMENT
Washington. Aug. 23 The anti
suffragists today attacked the pur
pose of the congressional suffrage uni
on to publish a blacklist of congress
men as "unpatriotic."
"Suffragist leaders of the union
have picked up the weapons of mili
tancy laid down by Knglish suffra
gists in the face of their country's
peril," the statement ran.
"While members of congress are
neglecting their interests at home to
labor in Washington, regardless of
party lines, these American militants
are preparing a blacklist against
them "
The statement concludes that the
