GERMAN STORYOF ASSAULT ON LIEGE London, Aug. 13.—The correspond- ent of the Exchange Telegraph com- pany at Rome says that a dispatch Zrom Berlin gives an official statement by General von Stein regarding the siege of Liege. The German com- mander denies the loss of 20,000 men, but does not give the figures of his losses. He says that only a small mumber of German troops were en- gaged in order to mask the movement «of the bulk of the army. The enemy’s advance attacking force, he says, was completely annihilated and, while ad- mitting that the forts remain intact, explains this by saying: “The emperor did not wish to sac- rifice life unnecessarily, but so soon as the heavy artillery arrives the forts will be tn.ken without the loss of a man.” MONTENEGRINS AND SERVIANS JOIN FORGES Nish, Servia, Aug. 13.—The Servian and Montenegrin armies, which ef- fected a juncticn on the border of Herzegovina, are operating tozether._ Servian artillery is bombarding Go- rashda, on the River Drina, near Sara- yevo, the Bosnian capital. Servian troops have captured the Bosnian town of Varishta. The bombardment of Belgrade, the Servian capital, by the ‘Austrian artillery continued and [ heavy material damage was inflicted on the city. Reports reaching here { from Sofia state that the Bulgarian { governfent is preparing for eventuali- | ties, but it is not known what it has in view. ITALY TO MAINTAIN TS KEGTRAL POLICY Rome, Aug. 14.—Following the offi- ! cisl announcement that England had declared war on Austria a cabinet council was held. No announcement i ‘was made, but it was considered cer- I tain there will be mno immediate 1 <bange in Italy’s position. It is expected, however, the Austrian 3 ambagsador will now demand that 1 Ttaly adhere to her treaty pledges { and come to the aid of Austria on the 4 contention that Austria has been at- 1 | tacked by England. b If this demand is made it will be ‘:; refused, according to, the best infor- ¥ mation. The feellng against Austria throughout all Italy-is intense. BRITISH SHIPS FIRE - | - ACROSS BOAT'S BOW New York, Aug. 12.—Quarantine ob- servers reported that the British cruiser Suffolk was still prowling off the entrance of New York harbor. The strictness of the patrol estab- lished by the British cruiser was dem- onstrated 'by the experience of the | Norwegian tank steamer Conrad 5| Mchr, which reached here from Ber- 2en and Shields. 2 | The steamer’s captain said he was | hailed by a three funneled cruiser. | Apparently the steamer did not stop i or reply as quickly as the cruiser de- | \ sired, for a shot was fired across her | g\ bow within a short interval of time. | ; They stopped immediately, but were 5| permitted to proceed after establish- : L ing' the steamer’s identity. T0 CHARTER RESGUE VESSELS IN EUROPE| Washington, Aug. 13.—Authority has | been given American embassies and B | legations throughout Europe to char- ter ships in which to brirg home b Americans. H Secretary Garrison, as chairman of dhe relief committée composed of the secretaries of state, war, navy and treasury, sent out instructions to each embassy and legation to make inquiry as to available ships and it Americans can be concentrated at open, ports immediately to charter neutral ships. The diplomatic officers were told not to pay higher rates than those usually charged by the liners for a similar service.

M. Davignon, the Belgian foreign minister, has drawn up a long list of cases, daclared to be fully attest- ed, of the killing of the wounded, the abuse of the white flag, the killing of olvilians and the seizure of private and pubdic funds. ? REPULSE OF GERMANS CLAIMED BY FRENCH Paris, Aug. 14.—The war office says the French army operating in the vicinity of - Spincourt, after being forced back by a superior German force, was reinforced, assumed the offensive and drove the Germans back on their main advanced base with heavy loss. The French drove the German lines, the report says, by a flerce bayonet charge, which penetrated the German front. The hand to hand fighting was most severe and the losses very heavy, although the number has been carefully concealed. MULHAUSEN CARNAGE ALMOST INCREDIBLE London, Aug. 14.—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company tmm Bagel, Switzerland, says: “Following a terrible battle at Mul- hausen the hospital facilities proved absolutely inadequate to care for the almost incredible numbers of wound- ed. Not only are all the hospitals filled, but schools, churches and ho- tels are occupied to their capacity. Even then it has been found neces- sary to charter special trains to con- vey the wounded to Mulhein, St. Lud- wig and other towns. “The latest estimates place the Ger- man losses at from eight to ten thou- sand.” BOTH ARMIES ARE FEELING THEIR WAY Brussels, via Paris, Aug. 14—The German army :has moved north of Liege and is advancing into the heart of Belgium. .It-is dificult to deter- mine its objective. There is a screen of cavalry in .extraordinary force along the whole front of the allied armies. A new army corps is investing Liege. The French cavalryyis en- gaged in sharp fighting. Both the German and allied armies are feeling their way. WINNIPEG TROOPS CALLED Four Regiments of Infantry Going to the Front.

NEW DESTINY MAY RESULT (Continued rrom Page 1.) ed manufactured products. this gpells a prosperity for United States and a period of swift development the like of which thej great American captaims of industry of the past decade have never dream- century. Old political questions and | issues, such %s the tariff and trusts, will vanish from sight; as though ‘wiped from a slate with a wet sponge. If the signc do not fail the issues of the new industrial expansion-prob- lems of employment and conditions of labor, the housing of workert, the food supply of the nation, the adjustment of the rapidly raising cost of living with the rising scales of wages. Methods of raising govern- mental revenues will probably also become political issues, since the day of the import tariff as a revenue pro- ducer is probably at an end. The future as it appears to the economists in Washington can ' 29 yet be only roughly sketched. The next succeeding years will produce the details. If wise statesmanship were ever needed in Washington it will be in these next few years, and ithe country believes that in Woodrow Wilson the nation has a leader who can be safely followed in the critical period in which the nation is seiz- ing the destiny that seems to be held out to her. A few of the elements which will bring about an economic revolution may be mentioned. European agri- culture will be prostrated. Nations which ‘have food exporters will sud- denly find themselves unable to pro- ADDITIONAL WANTS TO0 LATE TO CLASSIFY.

Germany has held most of this trade, and she must give it up. In addi- tion there is the trade in the Orient. The indications are that the United States and Japan are destined to di- vide most of this foreign trade. - There is another vital factor to be duce their- own food supplies. The Belgians have lheen supplying Europe ‘with dairy produets. Belgian is be- ing devastated by the war. Russian wheat flelds will mot be ' -planted. Similar conditions ‘will obtain in the rural districts of nearly every Euro- pean_natiom; : jand the: resuit will be to \place a mull upon ' American cost of lving skyward. : E\lropeen manufacture will be iparalyzed - for many . years. ‘Instead of ‘being the great: expox\ting' nation Germany will find herself a ‘consumer of foreign-| manufactuged products. Her:world markets. will ‘leave her, | considered. European immigration and sh herselt will hecume a field |to the United States can be expected —_— to virtually cease. This will r&tflct the American labor market, and re- sult in tremendously increased wa- ges in this country. - One 'problem for the nation will be to check the movement from the farms, to the fac- tories. Each will be bidding against “the other for laborers, but in case of a great movement away from the farms this nation is likely to suffer for food. ‘These are.dome of the vast conse- quences of the European war fore- seen for the United States by econo- mists. The next few years are likely to be the most vital ones in the his- tory ot the republic.
