PARIS 1S SADDEST PLACE IN THE WORLD Former American Ambassador to Tarkey Criticises Russia. London, Aug. 24, 9:40 p. m.—“Paris is the saddest place in the world,” said Miss Cornelia B. Sage, director of the Albright Art gallery, Buffalo, D Y., who arrived in London today from the French capital. “All the artists, poets and authors have gone to the war. Every man able to carry arms has answered the call. Only small boys have been left to work in the hotels and cafes. All the studios are deserted. “The flower of French manhood, all the men of genius are at the front. The wives and mothers and sisters rejoice that these talented men went with their humbler brothers in de- fense of France. They say that the call of country stands above all. French Women Brave. “They are so brave—the women of France. They are wonderful. They realize that many of them will be in mourning in a few days; yet they do not complain. “Even the wounded soldiers return- ing to Paris sing the Marseillaise. I saw many returning from battle at Belfort; they could scarcely raise their heads. Yet they were cheering for France.” - Claims Boulogne Alarmed. Dr. R. K. Morton, of Philadelphia, who arrived in London from Lausanne said: “Alarm is spreading in Boulogne. The idea now prevails that there the Germans will try to capture that port | as part of a general plan to shut off communication between France and ngland. The people of Boulogne fcar the foggy cloudy season, when they expect activity by the Germans along the English channel.” Munich Much Depressed, A prominent Massachusetts woman, who reached London by way of The Hague, said when she left Munich on Tuesday the city was much depressed on account of rumors that the Munich troops had suffered heavily a few days before at Muelhausen. It was report- ed that nearly half the families of Munich had relatives among the killed or wounded, but the facts are kept from strangers. One countess is said to have lost three sons in the Muel- hausen engagement. Straus Raps Russia, Oscar S. Straus, former American ambassador to Turkey and member of the permanent court of arbitration, sald today: “Sympathy with the Allies in the war would be greatly increased were it not for the feeling that Russia does not grant all her citizens equal rights in time of peace. In war, Russia is willing that men of all faiths shall fight. All her citizens want to fight. But in a spirit of fairness Russia should put all her citizens on an equal footing both in time of war and in time of peace. “The allies would do well to have Russia assure Roman Catholics, Jews, Dukhobors, men of all faiths, who are waging her battle, that they shall have equal rights with Russian church members when the struggle ends, (They offer their lives together in be- alf of the government; they should !

Would Strengthen Allies. “‘Russia’s assurance that it will treat all equally would strengthen the Allies; it would convince neutral nations that Russia will no longer dis- criminate against any of its citizens, and 1 hope that Great Britain and France will suggest diplomatically that Russia strengthen the triple en- tente by such action.” FALL OF NAMOR IS INEXPLICABLE EVENT German Victory Will Require Much Expianation, Says Times. | London, Aug. 25, 5:15 A. M.—Gom- menting on the fall of Namur before the Germans, the Times says it is one | of those inexplicable events which makes war the gamble that it is. | That Namur should have fallen in two days will require a deal of ex- | planation, the Times adds. The Times military expert says that | it is too early to say that the line of the Meuse south of Mezieres must be abandoned, but the outlook is not favorable and the development of the situation in the next few days will be watched with legitimate anxiety. He continues: “There are reports that the townspeople and even the garrison of Namur were less well disposed than the men of Liege to offer a strenu- ous resistance and so bring upon their town the punishment meted out by the Germans to Liege. There is un- doubtedly some slight feeling among Belgians that they have not been adequately supported by the allies and that they have borne the whole brunt of the war in the north, but we cannot believe that the Belgians did less than their duty and we ex- pect to hear that they were attacked Dby overpowering numbers. Vital for Germany. “The possession of Namur was vital for Germany and it was a fine stroke for the Germans to have rushed the place under the eyes of the allied armies. We still hope and believe that eur counter offensive in the north is only postponed and not abandoned.” Reviewing the general situation the Times military expert points out that the allies in Belgian are meeting the full shock of the German army. He says that it is essential for Germany that she should deal a paralyzing blow in this quarter in order to gain time to detach troops to resist the Rus- sian attack on the Prussian frontier. News Decidedly Bad. Commenting on the loss of the Bel- gian stronghold the Chronicle says: “The news is decidedly bad,” adding that if the allies’ losses have been | heavy “we may yet see before long| the Germans march in earnest upon | Paris. Namur is a fortress of great | strength, which its defenders could | possibly hold several months. We do | not imagine that it was taken by a rush. More probably a breach made elsewhere in the line of the allies imposed on them the alternative | of leaving a large force to be invested in Namur or withdrawing from it al- together. Speaks Volumes for Germans, “The blunt fact remains that in a really first class battle the French | troops occupying a secluded position of singular strength were driven ou by the Germans after not more than | two days' fighting. This speaks vol- umes for the power of the German/ attack. “England and Russia must stub bornly resolve that comgq what may to France, they will never surrender to Germany but will stick to her as they stuck to Napoleon until they pull her down. As long as we hold the sea we cannot ourselves be vitally struck.” London, Aug. 25, 12:35 P. M.— “Yesterday was a day of bad news, and we fear more must follow” the London Times says today in an edi- torial article on the fall of Namur: “In the first phase of the great battle,”” the paper continues, “the Germans appear to have won ground all along the line save in the arca held by the British. We were pre- pared for the ebb and flow of con- flict, but not for the fall of Namur. * + ¢ We have to face this situa- tion with unshaken confidence. We have to remember that the battle Is not yet over. The Germans have not yet burst their way through to France We have to remember that this is only the first great encounter of au war which, plainly, is destined to he a long one. For the allles it is u phase; for the Germans it is vital. They are dealing their blows with tremendous vigor; but the issue in Belgium still hangs in the balance, in spite of the unfortunate events at Namur. * * * Whatever be the up- shot, Great Britain and her allies will face the outlook with dogged deter- mination and continue the war until the spirit of Prussian militarism s routed out of Europe. Ultimate Success Certain. “Time fights on the side of the al- lies. With the Germans it is neck or nothing, but the French and the English have everything to gain by waging a delaying war. * * * While the issue remains uncertain we may still maintain the stoutest hope. Should it go against us we may re- member that the allies have not, like Germany, staked all upon their first venture. Our ultimate success is cer- tain, and ‘we will never sheath our sword until Germany has been finally beaten to her knees.” OPEN FOOD MARKETS, Supplies in New York to Be Sold Direct from Producer to Consumer, New York, Aug. 25.—Four publie markets -for the sale of food supplies direct from producers to consumers will be opened in Manhattan Borough on Sept. 1.
