NEW BRITAIN DAILY GERMANS CONTINUE " ADVANCE INTO FRANCE (Continued from First Page.) Roubaix would appear not to be for: tifled; it is a manufacturing center, Valenciennes also is a manufacturing city and is an important military point. It has an arsenal and extensive | barr&cks. The Ostend correspondent of the Lgndon Daily Express in a despatch published in London this morning quoted a Belgian officer to the effect that it had been decided last Monday not to defend Lille, and that on Tues- day the mayor published a proclama- tion announcing the evacuation of the French troops and the transformation of the town into an undefended place. “All the gendarmes were disarmed and steps were taken to deliver the city with all its rich factories up Lo the Germans,” this officer declared. “Tuesday evening all the available treasure was removed.” All Namur Forts' Fall Before Germans ¥Berlin (by wireless to the Asso- ciated Press, via Sayville, L. I.), Aug. 27, 6:57 a. m.—All the forts at Namur have fallen and Longwy, near the Luxemburg border, has been captured after a resolute defence.

Upper Alsace is free of the enemy except at 'points to the westward of Kolmar, Precision of German Guns Astonishes World Berlin, via Copenhagen, Aug. 26, via London, Aug. 27, 6:10 a. m.—The Tageblatt’s correspondent writes that Namur was bombarded with howit- gers of thirty-one centimetres, by mortars and by one forty-two centi- metre howitzer. He says he coula \plainly hear the shells striking the " forts and that everyone was aston- ished at the precision of the German guhs. The Tageblatt’s correspondent de- scribes the desolation that reigns in the villages and small towns between Liege and Namur. At the town of Herve only nineteen houses remain standing out of 500. Those remain- ing carry placards expressing sym- pathy with the German soldiers and asking that they be not fired upon. “The success of the German arms in Belgium, says the Tageblatt, is at- tributed by military experts to the swiftness with which the German operations were carried through and also to the delay of assistance prom- ised by the French, who arrived too late both at Liege and Namur, Airmen Direct German Artillery Around Mons London, Aug, 27, 11:30 a. m.— Refugees from the scene of the fight- ing around Mons report that airmen took & prominent part in directing the Gefman artillery, says the Times cor- respondent in Paris.

Austrian Army Evacuates > Sanjak of Novipazar Kraguyevalz, Servia, declared that the Austrian army has evacuated the Sanjak of Novipazar, 1 Belgian Operations Completely Successful Antwerp, Aug. 26, via Paris, Aug. 27, 3:20 a. m.—It is officially an- nounced that the Belgian operations have been completely successful. They have the double object of re- ducing the: German entrenchments and of drawing Germans from the line at Mechlin and Brussels, so as to relieve the pressure on the French positions. Four Belgian divisions | from Namur stopped the southward advance of the German fourth di- vision by obliging it to retrace its steps. The Belgian troops then re- treated on the French line. The forts at Namur are still holding out. French War Office ! Issues No Bulletins | Paris, Aug. 27, 11:15 a. m.—No official communication concerning the progress of the war had been issued this morning un to 11:15 o’clock. This lack of news was generally at- tributed to the supposed inaction of the Germans, who were thought to have been too hard hit to sustain a general advance. The French take their check 'in Belgium quietly and seem to have gained confidence by the reinforce- ment of the ministry, as announced last night, as well as the strong stand | taken by the French forces in Lor- raine. Paris Is Preparing for Possible Siege Paris, Aug. 27, 8:62 p. m.—Paris, it was officially announced today, is pre- paring for a possible siege. The mat- ter was discussed by the new minister of war, Alexandre Millerand, with the subordinates of his department and steps were taken to determine the exact measures necessary to place the city in a stage to withstand an attack and invasion, France Claims Progress for French Forces Paris, Aug. 27, 3:30 P. M—An of- | ficial statement issued this afternoon | says: “The events of yesterday in the region of the north have neither im- perilled nor modified the arrange- ments made in view of the future de- velopment of operations in the region between the Vosges and Nancy. “Our troops continue to progress.” British Troops Fought Superior German Forces London, Aug. 27, 4:12 P. M.—Pre- mier Asquith announced in the house of commons today that Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British expeditionary fqrce, had re- ported that he was yesterday en- gaged against superior German forces. The British troops fought splendid- ly and General French considered the prospects in the impending battle as satisfactory. Premier Asquith added: “General French speaks in high terms of the quality and efficiency of the French regular troops and their officers.” Senegalese Riflemen Smoke Enemy’s Pipes Paris, Aug. 27, 7 A. M.—The Matin relates that on the arrival of a train bringing wounded Senegalese riflemen nearly all were found smoking fu- riously long porcelain pipes taken from the enemy and seemingly indif- ferent to their wounds. /' One gaily told of the daring capture of a ma- chine gun by eighteen of his com- rudes. The gun, it seems, was brought up by a detachment of German dra- goons, and the Senegalese bravely charged and captured everything. Though their arms and bodies are hacked by sabre thrusts, the Senega- lese complain of nothing but the obli- gation to fight with shoes“on. Before going into battle at Charleroi they slyly rid themselves of these impedi- ments and came back shod in German foctwear to avoid punishment for los- ing equipment. Prohibits Use of Food Abandoned By Germans St. Petersburg, Aug. 26, via Lon- don, Aug. 27, 6:10 a. m.—A Russian army order prohibits the use of food and forage abandoned by the Ger- mans in East Prussia because of cases of poisoning which have occurred at Eydtkuhnen, Gumbinnen and Inster- burg. According to all accounts the Germans were taken by surprise by the rapidity of the Russian cavalry movements and the dash through the Mazur lake district, where five lines of defence were flanked. After the capture of Gumbinnen and Insterburg, the line which was strongest, the Angerburg line was taken without fighting. The swift Russian movement, to- gether with the crossing of the river Angerapp and the successful battle northward toward Neidenburg, seals the fate of the central fortifications. | Fort Boyen is' now surrounded on all | sides and passage through East Prus- sia is consequently quite open. | German Consu} and Staff Leave Korea Seoul, Korea, via Tokio, Aug. 27, 11:40 A. M.—Dr. Krueger, the Ger- man ‘consul here, and his staff left for Yokohama today and sails on August 29 with Count Von Rex, the German ambassador to Japan, and London, Aug. 27, 3:22 P.

Slav Troops Revolt Against Their Officers London, Aug. 27, 4:36 p. m.—In- formation from southern Dalmatia, says the Post’s Paris correspondent, is to the effect that in several towns the Slav troops have revolted against their officers, Breckenridge Expresses Gratitude to Germany Washington, Aug. 27.—The German embassy today received the follow- ing wireless from the foreign office at Berlin: “Assistant Secretary Breckenridge has expressed his thanks to the German foreign office for its as- sistance in aiding in the departure of Americans from Germany. A large | number of British living in Vienna, it is believed here, have expressed their sympathy for Austria. “The Russian defeat at Krasnik was caused by an irresistible Austrian in- fantry attack. The Russjan main force in Russian Poland thus being de- feated, a swift Austrian adyance northward is expected. ‘“Vienna reports that Liman Pasha has been appointed commander in chief of the Turkish European troops. “The small cruiser Magdeburg en- tering the Finnish Bay ran aground after a fight with superior forces and was blown up by her captain. Most cf the crew were saved. ““A ‘large number of prisoners, chiefly Turcos (French African troops) and British soldiers passed through Aix-La-Chapelle today.” Liman Pasha is the German mili- tary officer who was in charge of the reorganization of the Turkish army, having been loaned by Germany to Turkey for that purpose. The sinking of the Magdeburg was not described but it is supposed at the embassy that the -battle was with some Russian vessels. Prince Frederick Charles Carries Flag to Victory Frankford-on-Main, Aug. 26, via London, Aug. 27, 6:40 A, M.—Wound- ed soldiers arriving here relate that Prince Frederick CI les of Hesse, the German emperor's brother-in-law, while leading his regiment during a recent battle, seized a flag from thée bands of the wounded flag bearer and carried it on to victory.

New York, Aug. 27.—George A. Zabriskie, who has the exclusive agency in this city for the Pillsbury Flour Milling company of Minnea- polis, asserted vesterday at the hear- ing before Chief Magistrate McAdoo | that the shortage /. tnt European wheat crop is responsible for the present high cost of flour, and that the European war if It continues will drive prices beyond anything so far experienced. An embargo on wheat and flour would restore normal prices here, he said, but it would result in the administration tnat put it into ef- fect being turned out of office by the protesting farmers. That more and more people who are being pinched by high prices are turning to an embargo on foodstuffs as a remedy is indicated by reports made to the mayor’s committee. Three delegations representing civic organ- izations called on Commissioner Har- tigan yesterday and urged a recom- mendation to the government in fav- or of an embargo. Tnecy reported that the sentiment in favor of this expedi- ent is growing. The mayor's commit- tee, caught between the arguments of those who want an embargo and those who say that every effort should be made to extend foreign commerce, findg itself. in a puzzling situation. Governments Negotiating. In support of his conténtion that there is an unusual demand from abroad for American mour, Mr. Za- briskie said that he is now negotiating with England, France, Norway, Spain, Turkey and Greece either directly with their governments or with deal- ers there for the delivery of practically unlimited quantities or flour. There is a shortage this year of from 300,- 000,000 to 400,000,000 bushels in the usual European wheat crop. Greece and Norway can no longer buy from Russia; France, usually self- supporting, is making big demands. It is estimated that the American crop, 150,000,000 bushels greater than usual will produce a surplus of 300,000,000 bushels, but Mr. Zabriskie believes that at the present high rates offered in Europe, and with the importers bearing the war risks, this surplus will be exhausted unless exportation stopped. He did not advise an embargo, but he said it would undoubtedly stop the war and lower prices here. Then he added that the farmers who are mak- | ing the big profits and who number per cent. of the voters would see to it that_\\'hoever was responsible for an embargo would be turned out of office at the earliest opportunity. Sales Increase 100 Per Cent. As for local consumption of flour Mr. Zabriskle said that whereas from July 15 to August 25, 1913, he had sold 14,230 barrels he had during the same period this year sold 39,160 bar- rels, an increase of more than 100 per cent. His explanation for the home consumption was that the housewives have seen the inevitable effect of shortage and war in Europe and have been stocking up on flour. He said he knew the wholesalers and retailers were not stocking up, yet he has delivered 23,691 barrels this last month, as against 10,532 bar- rels during the corresponding period last year, and those who buy from him and intend to hold flour do not have it delivered unless they intend to. dispose of it to consumers im- mediately. He said there was only one answer to present tendewmcies, and that is higher prices. Immediately after the Franco-Prussian war wheat sold here for $1.61 a bushel. It is now $1.07, and the retail price may be figured at something more than five times that amount a barrel. To support the contention that if wheat is being held back it is being held back by the raiser he said that the visible crop is now 33,000,000, as against 44,700, 000 bushels at this time last year. PAYS TRIBUTE TO PRINCE LICKNOWSKY Sir Edward Grey Says Former Ger- man Ambassador to Great Britain “'orke(/l Zealously for Peace. London, Aug. 27, 3 p. m.—The foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, paid a tribute to Prince Charles Max Lichnowsky, the former German am- bassador to Great Britain in the house of comrons this afternoon, saying that the diplomat had worked to the end for peace, but the real authority albeit did not rest with him or those like him, Sir Edward reiterated that the gov- ernment decided on August 2, the only condition under which Britain could remain neutral German respect for the neutrality of Belgium. Ambassador Lichnowsky haq strongly urged the British gov- ernment to alter their decision, but the foreign secretary said that would have been impossible without England becoming a consenting party to the vocation of a treaty and subsequently to a German invasion of Belgium. He added that personal suggestions made by the German ambassador were quite distinct from the communica- tions which the ambassador made on behalf of his government.
