The liner Narragansett reported having heard a wireless message to this effect and the manager of the Mail steam packet, .whose ships run to Bermuda, said he heard a similar report. The report is given some credence here in view of the announcement by the Canadian government, made at Ottawa, that the Essex has advised the Bermuda station she is bringing in a prize. The name of the captured vessel was not disclosed in the gov- ernment’s announcement.

One clash with the Germans was violent and the losses on both sides were serious. The official statement adds that the German troofis are receiving rein- forcements and that the French also are being strengthened. London, Aug. 11.—An Exchange Telegraph message from Basel, Switzerland, says 30,000 Austrian troops of the Fourteenth corps, under command of the Duke of Tuscany, man troops at Istein, where the Ger- mans are massing in the hills and in the fortifications, following the French successes in Alsace. From St. Petersburg comes a re- port that Germans who have been fighting along the Russian frontier in small detachments are being concen- trated in brigades of two-'and three regiments each, preparatory to taking the field. No serious encounters have occurred yet on the Russian frontier, according to the report. German mili- tary aeroplanes are seen fiying daily in the direction of Kovno, capital of the Russian province of the same name, which has an outlet on the Baltic. Paris reports say the French troops, after a desperate encounter with Ger- mans on the ridges of the Vosges mountains, obtained possession of the passes of Bonhomme and Sainte Ma- rie.

Little news sifted ‘out regarding the activities of war vessels of the pow- ers. The German cruisers Goeben and Breslau are said to have evaded their British and French pursuers and arrived in the Adriatic. An Austrian fleet was reported proceeding to Pola to succor them. BELGIANS FALLING BAGK ON THE FRENCH Brussels, Aug. 11.—Liege city is held by the Germans. At least some —the Belgian officials say all—of the forts are still holding out against the invaders. _ They are compelled to operate inde- pendently and can no longer figure materially in opposing the German. advance. It is expected that a Geér man force will besiege~them while the main German army moves south: The Liege garrison retreated, the war office says, for strategic reasons, and is now falling” back on Namur, where thé French are in force.
