Bzmo wn’cn May Seltle Eure- Canfiict Nt Expecied At Once. ‘Washington,, -Aug. .15.—Although esident Wilson has forbidden army nd navy officers to discuss military | &nd political .developments of Europe, it is possible today to give the general | #pinion of war experts on the military evelopments to date on the conti- ent. Generally speaking, it is their stnton that _the present situation forécasts a longer war than has gen- aily Béen anticipated; and the prob- blllty that a tremendous battle, in- jolving the employment of hundreds thousands Of “men, ' will not be ought for several days yet, if then. No special significance, in their opin- fom. is to be attached to the numevous €onflicts between comparatively small bodies of troops, which have charac- terized the war up to this time. Dislocated German Plan. The strenuous opposition of the Bel- | gian troops to the right wing of the german army is held by the war ex- Perts to have dislocated tenmipotarily, t least, the German plan of cam- aign. They believe that the German fight wing has been stopped at least fifty miles. further north than the @erman general staff expected, an:l tllt every inch of this ground must fow be fought out exactly as thougn gdntact had been effected on Frenc #8i] itself. The effect of the check is 1d by some observers to have caused ‘& serioug delay in the advance of the rman center through Luxemburg, r the reason that should this a:m. g\adu French' territory it would be riously -exposeds+in flank by the eck of the G rman qiqht wing. 2007 Miles Aong. “The battle, line is ngw about 200 B miles long,” experts yesterdaf. “At least 1,000,000 men are under arms on each side of it, and every point in the line is covered in fogce. It is manifest, there- fore, that it is almost impossible to penetrate this line at any point. The' outlook is for a series of battles daity at various points along the line which may amount to from three to = ten daily, each involving in ‘point 6f num- bers: from 10,000 to perhaps: 100,* 000 men on a side. The results of suca conflicts in themselves cannot be measured, for they are not decisive. Perhaps in a week or two weeks, after a series of such engagements, some definite results will be indicated by a considerable advance or retreat on one side or the other, and such a { movement alone can indicate any de- cisiveness of action. Fights Mere Reconnaissances. “The constant reports of the retreats of cavalry here and there after en- gagements really amount only to re- connaissance in force. As cavalry | being employed by the European ar- | i mies now, it is the business of cav- alry to retreat when it discovers a su- perior force, and to feel out at some other point, In view of the num- ber of men and guns along the fron- | tier, the losses in such engagements are naturally larger than usual; but separately,: these engagements up to this time indicate no decisive results.” At . the present rate of progress, the war experts do not expect to see any material change in the situation for about two months, Their view is premised on the idea that the German army will not be able to walk over the French as it did in 1870. In their judgment, the French have settled down to a defensive war for the pres- ent, and have the advantage of fight- ing behind entrenchments on interior lines. In the meantime the Russians are mobilizing, and are yet to be heard from in force. An unexpected coup or a serious tactical blunder might, of course, upset calculations instant- Iy. The above, however, is the judg- ment of the war experts of the de- velopments and their significance up { to this time. | AUSTRALASIAN TEAM LEADS AMERICANS McLoughlin and Williams Must Win Roth ‘Tennis Matches Today to Re- tain the Dwight . Davig Cup. New York. Aug. 15.—With (he Aus. tralasian team leading two to one for the possession of the Dwight F. Davyis cap and the 1914 world’s team cham- pionship on the courts, Maurice g McLoughlin and R. Norris Williams, 2nd, representing the defenders, today faced the difficult task of overcoming this lead by taking both matches in the final singles. American followers is | sald one of the military | of the game, who have witnessed the iatches thus far in the challenging round, expressed the opinion that the defenders’ chances of Tretaining the inmous cup in this country another vear depended largely upon the ability of Williams to come back after his slump of¥Thursday and defeat Norman E.

Thirty days in jail was the penalty meted out to James Jenkins, alias | Burns, by Judge William F. Mangan in court today. Jenkins was arrested last night by Officer Axel Carlson charged with stealing a horse blanket from Christian Flood. Jenkins said, suppose I'll plead guilty,” when asked what he had to say. Although he claimed his home is in Washington, D.

Two young men who were arrested by Officer Axel Carlson and Strolls on Winter street on a breach of the peace charge, Walter Ruelt and Ed- i ward Ricks, were each fined $1 and costs and placed on probation until it is paid. The offense was not a serious one and the two young men told the court that they were walking down the street when four strangers came along and “foolingly” tripped them up and shoved them down.” The fact that they tried to state that the | strangers were fooling with them went against them, The case of Thomas Kelly, who is charged with assaulting Thomas O’'Brien, has been continued until Monday morning. | ND CIRCUIT CLOSING. 0.

In many respects the acci- dent was similar to the recent fatal | crash at Westport. Both motormen | thought they had the right of way, on account of the re.admg of the signal lights. A Bridgeport bound car from New Haven, was ascending the grade when | a New Haven bound car came down | the hill at a fast speed. Motorman Patrick Ryan was the most seriously hurt.

When the Bridgeport car left the switch at Broad street, it is said the signal lights gave the car the right of way. It is understood the motor- man of the other car also claimed to have the right of way. There is a sharp curve near the | scene of the accident. One of the cars stopped to take on a passenger about 300 feet from the scene of the crash. Catapulted Over Seats. When the cars came together, the passengers were catapulted over the seats. Some saw the impending crash and jumped. S. B. Smith, of Milford, landed head first in a meadow and suffered a wrenched back. An aged lady whose name could not be learned also jumped, and landed on her | Most of the injured were in the forward seats of the cars, but fortu- | nately none was on the front seats. Motorman Ryan of Bridgeport was | thrown under his seat. The fronts of both cars were smashed and traf- fic was delaved for some time. Several Physicians Summoned. Local physicians were summoned ‘and gave medical attention to Motor- man Ryan and the ten passengers.

With several other men, when they saw the crash was inevitable, he jumped and landed in the mud beside the car tracks. He was unhurt, but saw that the motorman and several children had apparently been injured. He was sitting about five seats from the front. He declared it was a narrow escape for all concerned. Improvement of Treasure Fields. Jordan & Selleck are rather proud of the new streets just completed at Treasure Fields. For the past two weeks a large gang of men and teams have been steadily at work putting the fifty-foot streets in first class con- dition. Jordan and Selleck are ip- viting all their customers and others | interested in Treasure Fields to come down and see the new streets and | other numerous improvements that ! they are making. It is a little unusual | to note that Jordan and Selleck are making improvements on the section of Treasure Field already sold as| well as on the section they are now | selling. Mr. Jordan says “making im- provements on the property alreac¢ sold is in line With our policy of giv- ing our customers all and a little more than we promise them, and is one of the reasons that a Jordan and Selleck customer is always a booster.” In talking of the real estate situation, as concerns the building lot business, Mr. Jordan said: “Yes it is true that there is a lot of compe- tition in our line just now, but we have always felt that there is room for all in the real estate field. We have our own methods, and our competitor have thei; we always feel pretiy certain that we will get our share of the business, and are satisfied that our competitors should get theirs.

Offer Tickets to Committee. Many American tourists in London who had booked passage on small vessels or had taken steerage berths are offering to_sell their tickets to the American citizens' committee, as they prefer to make a later and more comfortable passage.
