- - SUFFERING ANDISERY Belgium Devastated by the War, THOUSANDS SAID TO BE NEAR STARVATION Indusiries Wrecked, kuidreds Killed and the Gities Filled With Refugees, Antwerp, Sept. 7.—Belgium has won the respect of the nations of the world, but has paid the price not only in the slaunghter of thousands of her best men, but in the complete wrecking of the nation in all indus- trial pursuits. Refugees pouring into Antwerp bring terrible stories of the devasta- tion of the land. From end to end the little kingdom is nothing but mis- ery and suffering. Thousands are starving, her mines are idle, towns have been wrecked and industry is at a standstill. In the mining and other industries no wages have becn paid since July 31. Public buildings have been turn- ed over as quarters for refugees. At Ostend bathhouses are being used to shelter thousands pouring into that es of men at the front, aged fa- and mothers and little children stream in constant procession to the rities of refug Among the thou- sands not a single ablebodied man of fighting age may be found out of uni- form. Every ablebodied man is either at the front fighting or already has fallen wounded or given his life in Be! m's wallant defense. ALLIES READY FOR FINAL STRUGGLE PRordeaux, Sept. 7.—That the French have taken up the battle line and now await the supreme German ‘assault is 1 2t war headquarters. The fighting may begin at any min- ute. General Joffre has assured Min- ister of War Bbillerand that he is now ready. But where the new battle is to be fought and whether at last the French are to keep their promise of sssuming the offensive no one here will say. The day’s bulletin was even more vague than any which bas preceded it. It gave the information that the armies have not clashed. The Ger- mans were said to be moving their troops into new positions. But where these positions are was not made known. The president and cabinet is in con- stant consultation. Every movement is communicated to them. There is an air of expectancy everywhere. AUSTRIANS ADMIT RUSSIAN VICTORY Vienna, via Rome, Sept. 7.—Serious reverses of the great Austrian armins led by General Moritz von Auffen- berg, former war minister, and Gen- eral Danki, who has been in supreme command in the invasion of Russian Poland, are admitted by the war of- fice. The failure of General Fornier’s army to hold the line between To- masczow, in the Russian-Poland prov- Ince of Lublin, is declared to have been responsible. Danki's troops had moved fast through Poland and were attaining material success when the Austrian army in front of Lemberg was forced to retreat and evacuate that city c¢1 account of an overwhelming flank movement. orcements, which included ar- y. reached the scene too late to Le of service in retrieving the day, but were used to cover a backward movement, > GERMANS MOYVING TO MEET THE RUSSIANS London, Sept. 7.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Copenhagen says: “Berlin dispatches indicate that the Germans are throwing troops - back eastward to meet Russia’s advance. “Further indications are that the points the troops are being. with- drawn from are Alsace and Lorraine. 11 the German railroads are now closed to civil traffic and land com- munication between Berlin and Copen- hagen is stopped.” Paris Schools Now Hospitals. Paris, Sépt. -7—All " the public schools of Paris have been ordered closed until further notice. The rea- son for this is the occupation of the school buildings by chiefly for: hospitals. The school teachers will remain in the service of the state. the military,’ ,000 correspondent: at- Gisors, town near Beauvals, says theid losses of the allies are 40,0067 ar losses of the Germans .200,0 says a moderate estimate of thé Ger- man losses places:them at 20 per cent at least. v ~ Sheer weight of numbers has push- ed the Germans forward at the amaz- ing rate of twenty-five miles a day, the correspondent adds. The Germans have shown no superiority in artil- lery or transport. The rapidity of their advance has been due largely to their use of the automobile for transportation. N The British commissariat has per- fected the following menu for each man on the firing line: Daily—A pound of bread with cheese and jam, a pound and a quar- ter of bacon, a pound and a quarter of beef, with tea and rum; two ounces of tobacco weekly.

Darkens beauti- fully and nobody can tell—Brings back its gloss and thickness. the cre hotis ed Common garden sage brewed into & heavy ten, With sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop sealp itching and falling hair. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the rendy-to-use tonic, costing about 50 ceats a large bottle, at drug stores, known as “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” thus avoiding & lot of muss. _While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youth- ful appearance and attractivencss. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. ~You just dumpen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another . application or two your hair ‘becomes beautifully dark, - glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. IS MOVING ~ ON PARIS German Raids in Di- rectinn_uf Gity. ALLIES ARE DRIVEN BACK BEHIND GONDE Official Reports From Berlin Say Kaiser's Troops Make Further Progress. debdcbbb bbb bbbkt + Paris, Sept. 7.—It has be- come apparent to observers here that the Germans do not intend to engage the allied armies sent to meet them northwest of Paris. The en- emy evidently is making an ex- tended turning movement. bk bk bk kb o R R ol o o ol ok b bk b ok ok ek o bk b London, Sept. 7.—What was de- scribed as the arrowhead of the Ger- man army, which has been slowly forcing its way through the Anglo- further progress, according to the Ger- man official reports, and has now jdriven the allies back behind Conde. Cavalry raids, too, are being made tin the direction of the Paris forts, which, if the accounts are correct. i will be the next stop of the allies : armies. This news was a great disappoint- , ment here, where earlier official re- ports from Paris to the effect that the jGermans had suffered a check near Verdun lent the hope that the ad- vance had been stopped. In Lorraine and the Vosges region, | where the German forces were weak- ened tc strengthen their right flank, the French appear to be holding their town, if not making an advance. Rejoice Over Russian Victory. The allies take some consolation | from the fact that the Russian defeat of the Austrians around Lemberg, which town has-fallen into the hands of the Russian emperor’s army, with its immense stock of war material and provis.ons, is apparently com- i plete. The possession of Lemberg gives the Russians a base from which | ithey can work and from which they {can attack in the rear the Austrian army which has been invading Rus- sian territory. In a battle lasting almost a fort- izht the Austrians have suffered ter- rible losses, 12,000 having fallen in one . place alone, while the Russian general claims to have taken thou- sands of prisoners and 200 guns. The Austrian retreat, it appears from of- ficial advices, has been turned into a rout. Belgium, which saw so many baitles during the arly stages of the war, is again the scene of fighting. German advices ind'cate that the Germans are completing a half circle around Ant- werp. RUSSIAN ADVANCE MENACE TO BERLIN London, Sept. 7.—That the Russian advance in East Prussia has become a menace to Berlin is indicated in ad- vices received by -the Paris Matin that five German army corps have arrived at the Vistula river, along which stream are located a number of German fortresses extending in a Mne south and west. from Koenigs- berg. The advices say these corps are mostly from Belgium and the north of France and were brought up to oppore the Russian advance. A dispatch to the Daily News from Copenhagen seems -to confirm this movement, adding that the German military staff has closed the principal railroad ‘lines to civil traffic. French army towards Paris, has made; Read the Want Ads. JAPANESE DET MEETS N SPEGIAL SESSION . Tokio, Sept. 7.—Premier Okuma, in opening the special session of the diet, explained that an extraordinary war budget must be voted to permit the continuation’ of’ the offensive op- erations designed to remove German influence from the Orient. 'He then said: 3 “The army and navy are now do- ing their full duty in a manner that all Japanese may well be proud of.” No information regarding the oper- ations at Kiaochou have been made public anywhere other than the.con- cession is completely invested. Minister of Foreign Affairs Katura explained that Japan’s participation in the war was at the invitation ot England and because of treaty obliga- tions between the two nations. Compositor Wanted.

The Germans have moved to the westward of Paris, their forces being reported in strength at La Fere Sous- Jouarne, -eleven miles -east ‘of Meux, and are apparently strengthening their positions at all points. 1t is believed certain here that the German plan of offense contemplates forcing a general engagement with the entire allled armies before any serious offensive movement is direct- ed against Paris. The official reports at General Gal- lieni's headquarters say that at no point has the Paris army of defense been in contact with the enemy. This means that there has been no action as yet directed against the city itself. AUSTRIANS SUFFERED HEAVILY AT LEMBERG Rome, via Paris, Sept. 7.—Sergius Sazcnoff, the Russian foreign minis- ter, has telegraphed the Russian em- bassy here that the Austrian defeat near Lemberg was much greater than at first appeared. The Austrians in escaping left on the battlefield, be- sides 25,000 men, nearly 200 cannon, flags, ammunition carriages and thou- sands of horses. The Russian foreign minister adds that the Russians also have invaded Austria from Tomasow. The Austrian division was prac- tically annihilated. Among the killed were the generalin-chief and his staff. A large number of prisoners were taken, including several officers, the message asserts. King Albert Slightly Wounded. London, Sept. 7.—A dispatch. to the Central News from Amsterdam says that King Albert of Belgium wes slightly injured by a shrapnel splinter while he was heading the rctreat of Belgian -troops to Antwerp.
