GERMANS REPULSE INVADERS Berlin Reports Rus- sian Defeat, AUSTRIANS MIVING TO AID KA:SER'S TROOPS Asserted That Combined Armies Will Easily Check Slav Advance, Ak dokeb bbb ek e bk London, Aug. 31.—A dis- patch to the Reuter Telegram company from Paris says an official communication given out in the French capital con- firms previous reports that the Russians have completely in- vested Koenigsberg in Eastern Prussia. ofoofe oh ol b o e ob oo ol B o Bl o R R Berlin, Aug. 31.—The war office an- nounced that the German army oper- ating In Eastern Prussia has defeated the invading Russian forces near Al- lenstein. The German defense is declared to be increasing in strength and the for- ward movement of the Russians is re- ported to have been checked. Troops of the first line, heavily re- inforced by second reserve and mem- bers of the landsturm, are being sent eastward to the positions selected by the general staff. They will have the support of the Austrian forces which have been transferred from the Servian border and of the Austrian army corps which were started from Vienna: While all information regarding mil- itary movements is withheld there is confidence that the combined army will be able to hold the line against the Russians. The plan of battle has been carefully made. Because of the immense distances in Eastern Prussia it was deemed un- wise to oppose the enemy with heavy force there. Instead much of that country was abandoned and the German troops fell back after inflict- ing serious damage on the enemy. The war office suggests that {mpor- tant movements now in progress will likely put a different aspect on the situation in the east. GERMAN PLANS ARE GHECKED BY BRITISH London, Aug. 31.—That the Ger- mans operating in Western Belgium had planned to occupy the Belgian coast cities and thus hamper the work of the British in keeping short lines of communication open across the channel, but they have failed to accomplish their object, is the posi- tion taken by the war office. The reason for failure has been the inability to detach enough infantry to occupy the French department of Pas de Calais. The German cavalry have raided through a great section of the country and have moved south from Ostend all along the coast. But they have been in detached parties and re- ports received here indicate that no German infantry has been reported anywhere near the coast. The occupation of Ostend by Brit- ish marines was chiefly responsible for the failure of the German move- ment. The German cavalry had pene- trated the outskirts of the city and were reported in force twelve miles away when the British entered the town and mounted their rapid fire guns to command every approach to the city. SAYS SITUATION IS CRITICAL FOR BRITISH London, Aug. 31.—A Daily Mail editorial concerning the concentration of the Germans in immense strength to crush the British expeditionary force says: “Germany has brought the stupen- dous odds of 3 to 1 against the Brit- ish soldiers, of whom we may well feel proud; but the situation is most critical. France has done everything in her power. Russia cannot help ex- cept by Indirect pressure. The na- tion must prepare on a colossal scale and must send every man and every gun that can be spared here and now to the decisive point in Frauce.” American Refugees Sail. Rotterdam, via London, Aug. §1.—{] The Holland-American liner Rotter dam sailed from this port for New York, carrying more than 2,400 pas sengers, of whom 1,950 are American refugees from the continent. Italy Prepares for War. New York, Aug. 31.—A special dis: patch from Athens to the New York ‘World says the Italian government has ordered its general staff to be ready for action in a few days. It also states that the Bulgarians have i invaded Servia. TGERMANS | PREPARE TOSTRIKE Final Effort to Open Road to Paris. FRESH TROOPS SENT T0 ADVANGED LINES Soldiers Who Have Borne Brunt of Recent Fighting Are Replaced. Paris, Aug. 31.—Germany is gather- ing her complete strength for another lLierculean effort to penetrate the al- lies’ line and open a wide avenue for an advance on Paris. ‘War office advices from the north and northeast all point to this move- ment beingattempted at not less than three points. The exhausted German troops which have been leading the German as- saults now in progress for more than a week are being replaced with fresh| ones. The regiments decimated by the French fire have had their ranks filled np. Just when they will strike only the German general staff knows, but already indications of renewed activ- ity have been reported to General Joffre by the French aerial scouts. Meanwhile the German flanks and lines of communication are again in canger. Rendered desperate by the ieports of the burning of Louvain the Belgian army has left Antwerp and is moving in force toward Brussels. 1t is reported here that it has been waterially reinforced and that it will co-operate with an’'English force from Ostend. This latter, it is rumored, may include the native Indian forces sent by England from her Eastern empire, although requests for details of troop locations are sternly frown- «d on by the war office. It is known, however, that the gen- cral staff expects important develop- ments in Belgium, which may entire- !y change the general outlook of the sent campaign. BRITONS DENOUNGE BURNING OF LODVAIN London, Aug. 31.—England is en- raged over the details of the destruc- ion of Louvain. The reported com- rlete wiping out of the entire city has greatly exercised all high government ofiicials und following a conference with Premier Asquith the official press bureau issued a lengthy denun- clation of the deed. “The destruction of this ancient city was unpardonable;” said the bu- reau. “The German contention that it was an act justified by war and a proper reprisal because the inhabitants had fired on German troops is utterly without warrant. When Louvain was surrendered to the Germans everyone gave up their arms. Even the civil guard was disarmed by order of the burgomeister.” British Trawlers Sunk. London, Aug. 31.—The official bu reau of information has announced that two trawlers, sweeping for mines, have been sunk by mines. Five mem- bers of the crews of the trawlers are missing and eight others received in- juries. Remember . the Blobs? The old-time inkwell used to give up many fearful and wonderful blobs.
