"Brothers, tho Judgment of God is

"As a tempestous torrent breaks

LONDON, Aug. 13. "So far
the German navy has shown less
enterprise than the Spanish ad
mirals exhibited in the war with
the United Slates," says Archibald
Hurd, naval expert, today. Con
tinuing he says:
"War risks from Holland were
being covered yesterday at 1 J2
per cent and for some days pri
vate insurance agents have been
under cutting the government war
risk insurance. North sea war
risks which at first were fixed at
5.58 pounds per cent, have been
cut down to 3.38 pounds per cent.
"So far there is no record that
German cruisers have caught a
single one of our merchant ships.
"The German navy was to em
ulate the example 6f the army
and adopt the olTensivc at once.
The latter was to cut its way
through Belgium like a whirlwind
and crush France. Then turn on
Russia before the czar's forces
had been completely mobilized,
but something has gone wrong
with the time table.
"And so with the German na
vy. It was to have infested the
directly after war was declared
and ravage commerce in the At
lantic. Simultaneously a detach
ed squadron was to join forces
with Austro-Hungarv and Italy
and sink British and French squa
drons in the Mediterranean.
"Nothing has been done along
any of these lines."

LONDON, Aug. IS. More than

to support the French and Belgians in
tho war against Germany.
This force is under command of
Field Marshal Sir John French, and
has been In France for about 10 dnys.
Tho British government admitted
today for tho first time that an expe

If ANGIIAT, Aug. 18. The Jap

China to attempt to persuade Ger
many to relinquish Kaio-Chau and
Tsing Tao without lighting. In the
belief that this will fail, however, the
allies are preparing to attack the
Germans by land and sea.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. That

Germany the surrender of Kaio-Chau

by Charge I'Affairs Haniel Von

"This is only one of the possibili
ties of the situation at Kaio-Chau,"
said Von Ueimhauscn. "I am com
pletely cut off from communication
with my government and have, there
fore, no knowledge of its plans, but
the surrender of the territory direct
ly to China might easily be one of
the alternatives considered. Germany
ha.s only three comparatively email
cruisers there and the Japanese

What should have been done origin

he would be notified promptly of the

was of the opinion that the two wire

partially by the German government,
but Von Heimhausen nssured him
that his government was not interest

PRESIDENT WILSON
Issues Note Requesting People
Not to Disturb National
Peace of Mind by Dividing
Into Warring Factions.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.
That the German emperor has
made no representations whatso
ever regarding an anti-German
campaign in the United States to
this government is positively in
sisted by Secy. Tumulty at the;
white house today. No commu
nication remotely suggesting such
a protest has been received by
Pres. Wilson from Kaiser William
according to Secy. Tumulty.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. IVes.
Wilson today addressed a communi
cation to the American people asking
them to olorve strict neutrality and
act in a spirit of impartiality to all
concerned. His statement says:
"My fellow countrymen: I suppose
that every thoughtful man In Ameri
ca has asked himself during these last
troubled weeks what influence, tho
Kuropoan war may exert upon the
United States and I take tho liberty
of addressing a few words to yon in
order to point out that it is entirely
within our choice what its cfVoets: up
on us will le and to nrge very earn
estly upon you tho sort of speech
and conduct which will best safe
guard tho nation against distress and
disaster.
"Tho effect of the war upon us will
dem'iid upon what American citizens
say and do. Kvc.ry man who really
loves America will act and peak in
the truo spirit will net aJid speak in
the spirit of impartiality and fairness,
and friendliness to all concerned.
The spirit of tho nation in this critic
al matter will bo determined largely
by which individuals and those gath
ered in pnblic meetings do and say,
uiwn what newspaper and magazines
contain, upon what ministers utter in
their pulpits, and how men proclaim
their opinions on the street.
'The people of tho United States
are drawn from every nation and
chiefly the nations now at vrar.
"Some will wish one nation, others
another, to sueeeed in UiLs moment

passion and dillicult to allay it. Those
responsible for exciting it will assume
a heavy responsibility; responsibility

of warning to you against the deep

PARIS, AUG, 18. (4 P. M. CENSORED.) A DE

BELGIANS, FRENCH AND ENGLISH ON ONE SIDE AND
GERMANS ON THE OTHER, IS BEING FOUGHT IN
BELGIUM. UP TO THIS HOUR THE FRENCH WAR

BERLIN, Aug. 18. (Via Copenhagen and London.)
Germany has demanded the surrender of Brussels. The Bel
gian government has refused to grant the demand.
The message reiterated a former offer to make any arrange
ments compatible with the conflict between Germany and
France, for the evacuation of the entire country as soon as
possible after Brussels had surrendered.
ANTWERP, Aug. 18. A great battle is now on in Belgium be
tween the Germans and the Belgian,
Belgian army, assembled in force to cover Brussels, has advanced
from Louvain to Beyard in the direction of Diest, in the face of an
awful fire from the enemy. The Germans are advancing on the his
toric battlegrounds of Waterloo and events of great importance are
in progress. It is for this point that the British forces under Sir John
French are reported to be headed, anticipating a victory under Sir
John similar to the one enacted there a century ago under the Duke
of Wellington.
LONDON, Aug:. 18. Granville Fortcscue, corespondent m' the
London Telegraph, sent the following dispatch from Namur to his
paper today:
"We are on the eve of the first battle. Aeroplanes are circling
overhead. Six hundred thousand Germans are sweeping on toward
the Meuse. I cannot give you direct information as to the disposition
of the forces for obvious reasons."
BERLIN, Aug. 18. (Via Copenhagen and London.) The Ger
man government, in a note to the Belgian government, intimated
that the Belgians had so brilliantly proved their honor in arms that the
German government after taking Brussels would be willing t con
clude any arrangement compatible with the conflict between Germany
and France and would evacuate Belgium as speedily a war conditions
permitted. The Belgian government replied, again refusing the Ger
man proposition.
ANTWERP, Aug. 18. German cavalry were seen north of Ant

on a war footing and it will be used to assist the garrison in defend
