London, Aug. 14, 11.25 p. m.—Push- ing forward by mere weight of num- the German advance across Bel- glum is slowly but steadlly proceed- ing and soon must come in contact with allied armies, which, according an officia' communication ' from ssels tonight. are in battle order at some point unnamed. Belgians Check Germans. The Belgians in the outpost skir- mishing are said to have inflicteq se- vere checks on the German forces; but on the whole the German wing has kept on its way and has reached a line from north of Namur to Haelen, which suggests that the first big bat- tle will be fought somewhere between Louvain and Diest, where the - ailies Dmbu.bly will try to block the roads to Brussels and Antwerp and prevent the German attempt to render north Pelgium untenable. French Troaps Gaing to R-h.f Farther south French troops -have entered Belgium through Carteroi go- ing to the relief of tHéir neighbors apd to aid in any attack directed toward Namur, while in the east the French are reported to have se- cured possession of ridges in the Vos- mountains and to hold the passes Lebonhomme and Sainte Marie-au- Minesent which important roads pass and which it is declared gives them great c advantage. Hammering Away at Liege Forts. The Germans are again hammering away at the Liege forts, and, accord- ing to their accounts, one of the forts, Pontisse, has fallen. This, however, 18 denied by the Belgians, who tell of another slaughter of the invaders, who, they say, attempted to rush the fortress. Delay Bad for Germans, Military strategists are of the opin- fon that the Germans are meeting with delay which they did not count upon and that every day the Belgians xeep them fighting means an increase of Russian forces on their eastern fron- tier. They express the bellef that un- less Germany sobn disposes of Bel- gium and France. she will have to choose between withdrawing a great part of her army from the west or leaving the road to Berlin open to the forces of the emperor of Russia, Russians - Marching Toward Prussia. Already hordes of Russians are re- ported to be marching toward Prussia on the one side and to Austrian Gali- cia on the other. In the latter coun- try they are said to be in the vicinity of Styr river, which is on the route to_Lemberg. ‘The official news bureau of the army énd admiralty has issued a warning to the public against placing the slightest reliance in the many rumors current dally regarding alleged vic- tories, or defeats, or concerning the arrival of ;wounded men or disabled ships of Great Britain. “These are. vithout exception, baseless,” the warn- ng says. Attitude of Japan Unknown. ‘The probable attitude of Japan and Jtaly is still the subject of much spec- ulation. Conversations are going on continuously between Japan and Great Britain concerning Japan's_duty under her alliance with Great Britain and the part she will be permitteg to take in the peace conferences following the war. There are persistent rumors that Jtaly will doin the triple entente. The Italian ambassador is a frequent call- er at the foreign office. “Turkey Gets German Cruisers. If it should prove correct that Tur- key has purchased the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau, war between Greece and Turkey is said to be like- 1y, for Greece sees in the move an at- Turkey to recover taken in the last meet such a contin- gency would lend troops to the Rou- manian tier. The British government has called for bids for an issue of $75,000,000 treasury bills, With the arrival in English ports of many ships there has been a sharp decline in the prices of provisions.
