German Uhlans and Hussdrs Lead Kaiser's
Forces Into City—Hundreds of Thous
ands Cross River Meuse During
the Day Concentrating for
Further Advance
GREAT GERMAN FORCE IS ADVANCING.
Paris, Aug. 21.—Official news made public here
says German forces continued to pass the Meuse river,
in the vicinity of Huy, and that important concentra
tion is being carried out in Belgium todjay. No French
territory is occupied by the enemy, except a piece of
enclosed land at Audun LeRonan, in the department
of Meurths Moselle.
VAST PREPARATION MADE AT ANTWERP.
London, Aug. 21.—The correspondent of the
Times at the Hague telegraphed this afternoon: "The
preparations for the defense of Antwerp extend over
an enormous area. All classes in the city are joining
in the work day and night, but there is no sign of
panic or confusion.
"The gates driven through the walls by a peace
loving people are closed, while this work of prepara
tion goes doggedly forward. Antwerp itself offers a
strange contrast. At almost every window appear
English, Belgian and .French flags, giving a festive air
to the city which is preparing to resist to the last

Uhlans. It is reported that the Germans planned to
spend a very short time in Brussels, and then speed up
the advance.
The German cavalry Was reported on the outskirts of
Antwerp today. Their advance, it is believed, screens the
forward movement of a great Teuton army.
Vast Army Marching on Antwerp.
From Maastricht, Holland, comes word that for 36
hours a continuous stream of German infantry and heavy
artillery has been pouring across the Meuse into Belgium
And
westward along the Dutch border toward Antwerp.
The Germans have now taken Diest,.Tirlemont, Ram
illies, Jodoigne, Eghezee, Genibloux, Wavre, Louvain and
Brussels.
In short, the massiveness and swiftness of the first
great German advance, once started, was all that could be
expected from the German army. The correspondent can
not speak more definitely. If there was any doubt about
the situation before, there is none now.
It is the big thing at last, as everyone must recognize.
All that has yet*happened in the war is child's play in com
parison with the colossal shock that is now impending in
northern Belgium and along the Meuse river.
Sheer hammer and anvil fighting must settle it now.
It is better not to anticipate the result.
The Germans for the last ten days have been feigning
relative passiveness as far as the bulk of their fighting
strength along the Meuse was concerned.
Meanwhile they were evidently changing their plans
and the disposition of their troops, so that the general ad
vance might be made with suddenness and sureness and
with their utmost strength. They employed cavalry to
ffeel out the positions of the allies along the whole line.
Thorough and Decisive Advance.
Two days ago the general advance began along both
banks of" the river in great strength toward Brussels.
Further south the Germans .have pushed in with similar
irresistible force along the line from Dinant and Givet on
the Meuse to Neuf Chateau. The advance has been carried
on with thoroughness and decision along the whole battle
front.
The'fight is not only against numbers,, but against
-.time. W'-'yl .•
The
"situation is big enough. It is bigger than history
has ever known, but it is simple.
The allied commanders must have well-settled plans
by this time for dealing with it. The arrest of the German
advance for a fortnight has given them full opportunity.
Fqr the large force they now have in Belgium there
are several very strong lines of defence, curving backward
from Antwerp, behind Brussels and around again to
'^Namur.
The Germans, as they advance more deeply within
such a curve* must at least separate their army north of
iflfphe Meuse from their army in the department of Ardennes,
*. ^|in northern France.
Part of: the' great conflict may soon range across the
al field of Waterloo. 2v

No Information as to Where the Great Conflict Will Take Place
Great Fortifications Have Been Placed About Temporary
Capitol Entire Populace Joins In the Work
'The most formidable shock in history" will occur on Belgian soil according
to French military experts, when the great armies of the Germans and Austrians on
the one side and the allied troops of Belgiium, France and Britain on the other,
come into close contact.
No definite information as to the place where a decisive encounter is to occur
is permitted to pass the censors, but the general staff of the French army declares it
self confident of fighting under the best auspices for its own forces.
Not a shot was fired by the Belgians when the entry was made into Brussels
yesterday by the advance guard of the German cavalry. This advance guard, it is
reported, was followed today by a strong column of German troops, already en
camped in the vicinity. After the departure of the Belgian troops from Brussels*
communication was cut off between that city and other parts of Belgium and also
abroad.
The temporary capitol of the country, Antwerp, whither Belgians have retir
ed, is understood to be strongly fortified. Military correspondents declare prepara
tions for its defense extend over an enormous area, while it has been provisioned
for a long siege.
British and French warships bombarded and greatly damaged Cattaro, an
Austrian seaport, Wednesday.
Libau, a Russian Baltic seaport, was badly damaged during a two-hour bom
bardment by the German fleet, according to the captain of a Swedish steamer.
An Anglo-American rough rider corps has been formed in Paris, and its ser-'
vices has been accepted by the French ministery of war.
German warships are reported to have destroyed the harbor works at Hango,
Finland.
The final call to arms, affecting all able bodied men from 20 to 42 years old,
has been issued by the Austrian government.

THRESB3NG UNDER WAY.
Grafton. N. D., Aug. 21.—Threshing
has been under way for the past five
or six days. Most of the grain thresh
ed has been barley and rye.' These
grains are showing a fair yield but not
what would have resulted had the hot
weather not occurred. Not enough
wheat has been threshed to indicate
general yields. East of the city the
wheat is the best and some yields
have run above 25 bushels to the acre
on small plots. The only yield report
ed west of the city was 9 bushels per
acre. Indications are that the crop
is badly spotted.

WORKING FAST.
Bathgate, N. D., Aug. 21.—Thresh
ing began in earnest this week and
the greater part of the grain will be
threshed in the month of August. The
harvest is the earliest ever known
around here and there will be little
excuse if the work is not completed
before the cold weather sets in. There
will be plenty of time to do fencing
after the plowing is done.
