GONTINUE THROUGH ~ BELGIUM German Forces Ad- vancing__Steadin. ARMY'S MAIN WING PREPARES TO STRIKE Imiders Push Detachments For- ward to Within Few Miles - of Brussels. London, Aug. 18.—Advices from the ‘Times correspondent at Namur of a battle between the French-Belgian troops and Germans at Dinant indi- cates the left flank of the German army of the Meuse has advanced its front nearly fifteen miles westward into Belgium. Dinant is about thir- teen miles south of Namur and fifteen miles west of Marche, one of the towns along the German front Satur- day. Dinant is about ten miles from the French frontier and reports indicate the right wing of the German army of the Moselle also is operating in this vieinity. Paris reports “unimportant outpost affairs” near Wavre, indicating the center wing of the German army of the Meuse has moved its front twelve miles westward from Jodoigne, where the center front was reported Saturday. Wavre is about ten miles east of Waterloo and about twelve miles southeast of Brussels. The censorship put into effect by the British authorities, who control the cables, is effective to a remark- able degree. Censored dispatches from Brussels declare calm prevailed around Tirlemont Sunday night and that the Germans were falling back on Hereklaville to recuperate. Would Break Through French Center. A Brussels dispatch to the Standard-| declares the main part of the Ger- man army is concentrated at Luxem- burg, indicating an approaching at- tempt to break through the center of the French line and deal a crushing blow at the most vital spot in France. Unimportant outpost affairs in the di- rection of Wavre are reported. The French war office continues to report advances by the French army near the Alsatian frontier, in German terrltory, declaring the French line now passes through Abrechevillier, Lorquin, Azoudange and Marsal. In the Donon or Rougemont region the French claim to have occupied Schirmeck and captured twelve Ger- man fleld guns, eight machine guns and other artillery equipment and am- munition. Further to the south the French say they occupy Ville, on the road to Schlestadt, and Saint-aux- Mines. Paris says the French line in Alsace extends from Thann through Cernay to Dannemarie. London has not received confirma- tion of the French naval successes over the Austrian warships in the Adriatic. GERMAN AIR ATTACKS FAILURE AT NAMUR London, Aug. 18.—A dispatch to the Times from Namur, Belgium, says: “Several attempts have been made by the Germans to destroy this town by means of an attack with aero- plane bombs within the past few days. On Friday an aviator dropped three bombs. One of these fell on the side- walk of the bridge in the d’Omalius, injuring five men. The other bombs did no damage. Saturday a bomb struck the roof of the railway station, injuring one man but doing slight damage to the building. Seven bombs dropped at other points im the town did no harm. German Dreadnought Damaged. London, Aug. 18.—A dispatch from Amsterdam to the Central News says the captain of the Dutch steamer Ep- silon, on his arrival at Ymuiden re- ported seeing a German dreadnought in the harbor at Trondhjem, which had been put out of action. Her fun- nels were smasked and on one side she was scarred with holes from shell fire. Aid for Americans in London. London, Aug. 18.—After a confer- ence between Henry S.

SERIOUS FIGHTING ALONG THE BORDER Germans Offering More Vigor- ous Resistance Than in Early Days of War, Paris, Aug. 18—The French lines are closing in on Saarburg. The war office announced that the army which is invading Lorraine now controls Albreweiser, six miles south of Saarburg; Agdoudange, seventeen miles directly west of Saarburg, and Salons, which, previous to 1874, was an important fortress. . The French are in force along the Lorraine border west of Saarburg and the advance column is made up of cavalry, infantry and artillery. The French also control all of the upper Vosges, having taken other vil- lages in that vicinity. The French losses are heavy, but it is stated that they are less than the Germans, who are slowly falling back in the face of determined assault. Advancing All Along Front. The French columns are advancing all along the line in Alsace-Lorraine, with serious fighting reported. The French columns are now on the offensive, but are meeting a much more vigorous German resistance than marked the early days of the war. It is considered a general engage- ment, covering a good position of the frontier inside of the German lines, is developing, although it will be twenty-four hours before the main armies can be brought into action. The war office declared that 1,000 ditional German prisoners have Heen taken. Ills of Women.

MEAT PRICES DEGLINE AT START OF PROBE Chicago, Aug. 18.—Coincident with the local opening of the federal in- vestigation into the advance in prices of fooqstuf’s cut meats at the.stock yards declined 25 to 30 cents a hun- dred wholesale. This is said to mean a retail decline of about 1 cent a pound. It wss explained that the re- cession in prices is due to receipts of hogs and cattle numbering nearly twice as many as a week ago. Searching inquiry fnto the present high prices of foodstuffs also was be- gun here by officials of the state and city governments.
