PARI?. Aiik'. 17. The French war
I'llioe announced today the capture of
ii. I'.la.sien, in Baden, by the French.
At the same time, however, the war
Mlico admitted that the Germans are
offering furio:i3 resistance to the
French advance through the pass of
t. Marie Auk Mines in the Yonges
mountains.
The French forces alonn the west
ern border of upper Alsace and lower
J.orraine are stretched out in a huj?o
enveloping movement, t0 miles long,
from Kechicourt, or Uixinjren in Lor
raine, south to ist. Marie.
In its announcement the war office
taid:
' poratlons of the French army are
Veins developed ;dl along1 the lino
from Jlechicourt to St. Marie. The
advance of the French troops in
Kehirmcek valley has been especially
rapid. One thousand prisoners were
taker, nnd the Germans abandoned a
large quantity of military accoutre
ments. At St. Marie, heavy artillery
nnd several field pieces were captured
from the German in the Hlamont dis
trict, iu transports, wagons and other
IN
effects fell into our hands. The
morale of the French troops is excel
lent." A preut engagement all along the
lines T the two opposing armies Is
forecate,i by the war otll-'O.
Allies Will Force Battle.
"At the moment that the German
Main force comes in contact with our
troops, our allies will force both Aus
trians and Germans to engage in an
additional struggle, which, it seems
likely, will be of vast proportions,"
pays the war olhce statement.
"It is well known by this time that
the Germans anticipated a decisive
defeat of the French so that they
rnight immediately follow up such a
access with a battle against our al
lies. It is also well known that they
.umted on the slow mobilization of
the Russian forces and upon the dis
turbances in Foiand to K-'iin time for
their arms. The czar, however, by his
promise to grant autonomy to Poland
5.a.s obtained the fidelity of the Poles
it ml Russia's mobilization has been ac
omplished with remarkable rupidlty.
Hie Russian army Is now moving for
ward for an offensive blow, the result
ct which will soon be felt. Already
In Gnlicia Russian cavalry has crossed
the frontier, and Austrian cavalry and
infantry has been routed while other
l.atuillcns have turned tail."
Germany Is beinic put upon the de
fensive and it Is Impossible to nvoid
tho conclusion that her position at the
tront is unsatisfactory.

of the French troops on the Iorralne

SHANGHAI, China. Aug. 17.
Transports proceeding south
from palney toward Kiao-Chau
were sighted" today. They are be
lieved to carry Japanese troops.
WASHINGTON," Aug. 17.
Pres. Wilson is entirely satisfied
that Japan is acting in good faith
in her promise to respect the ter
ritorial integrity of China.
Her ultimatum to Germany
reached Berlin toJav. It was
transmitted through James W.
Gerard, the American ambassa
dor, and he reported to the state
department this forenoon that he
had received it.
The American ambassador's
dispatch was brief and contained
no details of the manner in which
the ultimatum was presented nor
any indications as to what the out
come would be.
TOKIO, Aug. 17. News of the ulti
matum stnt by Japan to Crermany de
manding the withdrawal or disarming
of all German ships in Chinese and
Japanese waters and the surrender of
Kiao-Chau was favorably received in
all circles today. The only opposition
voiced by the press appears in unim
portant newspapers.
The leading papers declare that the
government has acted wisely in seiz
ing the present opportunity to assert
Japan's supremacy in tho far east, and
to move for the elimination of "in
terests opposed to the welfare and
prosperity of Nippon."
Japan expects war. No one- bc-
(CONTINUED ON PAGE TEN)
would admit of mediation at this time.
Germany and Austria both allege
that they had suilicient gTounds for
war against Russia and for the subse
quent steps they have taken against
other nations.
No reply has reached the state de
partment from Russia and .Secy,
liryan has been unable to obtain an
assurance that the president's offer of
mediation has reached the czar.
Premier Vivian! of France, replying
to Pres. Wilson's offer of American
mediation, said:
"You may be assured that the
French government and people will
recognize in your idea new evidence
of your interest in the destinies of
France."
The premier added that France had
been attacked "despite her steady re- i
fusal to take the aggressive."

LONDON, Aug. 17. The British
government was officially notified to
day of Japan's ultimatum to Ger
many. Under instructions from To
kio the Japanese minister went to
the foreign office and presented a
ropy of the ultimatum to Sir Edward
Grey, the foreign secretary. The
statement of the Japanese govern
ment that Kiao-Chau would be re
turned to China and that the integ
rity of that country would not be
menaced by Japan, served to re
lieve anxiety that had teen felt here
for some time.
The ultimatum of Japan Is ex
pected to hasten action by the Ger
man fleet In the North Sea and is
regarded as a British strategic move,
if Germany wishes to send assist
ance to its Asiatic fleet, the forces
now supposed to be bottled up near
tho mouth of the Kibe will have to
come out and fight.
German Forces Advance.
In the meantime the great land
grapple Is dally coming closer. Tho
fighting at Dinant shows that the
German forces have almost reached
tho Franco-Belgian frontier, their
objective point. A battle is also re
ported at Avricourt in Alsatlon
frontier.
Though thousands of men were
involved in these conflicts they are
regarded, like the battle of Haeton,
as mere skirmishes preliminary to
the terrific annageddon that Is im
minent. At Haelen the Germans
lotrt 3,000. A report from Amster
dam, that Austrian troops had
reached Belgium, caused great sur
prise among military experts hero
today. It indicated that they had
been moving much more rapidly
than had been considered possible,
but also served to confirm the ex
perts' belief that Germany was stak
ing its all on its massive attack on
the weakest part of tho French
frontier.
Though the allies claim victory at
both Dinant and Avricourt, It is ad
mitted that the Germans must
overrun much of the country of tho
Ardennes.
Home Rule For Foiand.
That Russia's pledge of homo
rule to Poland if Germany is
crushed, will materially assist the
progress of tho czar's army, Is be
lieved here. Great numbers of
Poles dwell in eastern Prussia and
the northeastern part of the Aus
trian empire and their support
would undoubtedly prove a vast help
to Russia's invading fcrces.
The remarkable rapidity with
which Russia has mobilized her
forces has proved the marvel of the
war. They are ready to take the
offensive and the result will soon be
felt in Galcia. Their cavalry
crossed the frontier at the Upper
Bug and Upper Styr rivers simul
taneously and at the wmo time the

The question of censoring cables as
well as wireless messjugea from the
United States probably will be settled
within 2 4 hours.
The president expects, to hold a con
ference with agents of the department
of justice ajid other experts on inter
national law. He declared there were
several Intricate phases of the question
not covered by international law.
The president stated that censorship
of wireless was essentially different
from censorship of cable for the rea
son that the latter went to a ypociflc
point whereas the wireless reached In
all directions within certain limits.
The question of censoring messages
to Canada as a branch of a power now
at war was placed before him. but the

Nicholas, the empress. Crown Prince

Russian authorities renewed their ef
forts to arouse the ardor for warfare
among the people by playing ou their
religious principles and their racial
prejudices.
Religious ceremonies have become
part of tlu mobilization and whenever
troops march on their way to the rail
way stations they are preceded by
priests of tho orthodox church in full

The authorities are making every ef
fort to convince the people that this
Is a holy war and that it is a jut one
from the Russian standpoint. It is
pointed out, too, that the Russians
must win or else the Teutons, gener
ally hated throughout Russia, will

The capture of the thriving cities of

than 20,000 inhabitants and Gumbin

The general staff further stated that
several German aeroplanes had been
brought down by Russian bullets, but
that Russian aviators had been suc

tained information of the highest
value, by their reconnaissances across
the Austrian frontier.
According to the general staff, the
German Poles are offering no resist

troops, but the other German civilians
have armed themselves and have fired
from loop holes in their dwellings.
