"In response to urgent appeals from
many parts or the Dominion I Inaugurated tho Canadian patriotic fund, the'
object of which Is to provide for the

"[ am convinced that all' Canadian
hearts will go out to their brave follow citizens who huve gone to tlio
front. A prompt and hearty response
to this appcul wilt put nil anxiety to

STRONGLY ENTRENCHED ALLIES
ANVIL ON WHICH RUSSIANS ARE
TO HAMMER ARMIES OF KAISER
(By Dilly News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Aug. 27.—1:50 tt;m —
"The allies in their entrenched positions are as the anvil to the Muscovite hammer," declares the Graphic's
military correspondent..
"It la good newt that the concen*
trntloh. of the allies on entrenched
lines on the French frontier ts complete and that the positions thus held
are little less than Impregnable. The
Germans will , find that their next
movo will be much more difficult than
that which confronted them ft week
ugo
"Oen. Joffre's troops will now be de*
voting all their energies to a stub*
bors defensive. They ure the anvil.
The. Muscovite hammer Is gathering
all Its immense force for a crushing
blow In Pomerania. Hence It-Is most
Important thut the allies', forces Bhould
stand solid. The hammer is doing excellently, although the- preliminary
work Ib necessarily slow on account
of the Russian lack of facilities for
mobilization. Nevertheless the progress made thus far by RuBsia has
exceeded the most optimistic expectations and the Germans are likely to
pay dear for tlie undervululng of Russian efforts.
"The outstanding fact Is that the
hammer is well poised for action. If
the anvil only stands firm the enemy
must be speedily crushed between
them.
"Here is the situation of the three-
sided Russian advance:
"At present Bast Prussia is in process of being cleared of Germun troops
while tn Posen another Russian army
is moving along almost unopposed and
will soon be within 160 miles of Merlin* Meanwhile In Gallcla the Austrian troops nr° not putting up an
effective resistance."
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)'
LONDON, Aug. 27.—a closer veil
than ever seems t0 be drawn over the
progress of the war. Littlo news has
c-qme to hand of tho operations at the
front.
The chief news from the French
side Is that the French troops were
attacked along the Alsace-Lorraine
Mho but repulsed all the attacks successfully. There Is n0 indication that
tho German attack was in great fqree
but, if it were, tho French success
shows they are now In strong positions
along this frontier, from which they
will be driven only by great sacrifices on the part of the Germans.
A more hopeful feeling prevails In
England as tq the strength of the
French defensive position. The repulse
the French suffered Ut Charleroi has
heen partly due to thB desire of tho
French army t0 achieve a brilliant incursion Into Alsace and Lorraine,
which led them to Weaken their forces
on the Belgian frontier. Having rec
denized tho danger of thla course they
have now reverted to what appears
to experts to be a more legitimate
strategy, abandoning their Invasion of
the lost provinces and concentrating
their strength on tho defense of the
nqrthem frontier.
Show Confidence in  Kitchener.
While it cannot be said that the
British peoplo regard the absence of
news and the withholding of a list of
the British casualties with complacence, they display u large store of
patience an([ confidence In Kitchener
and the war office and the feeling o,t
depression evident on the first news
of the reverse suffered by the allies
has to somo extent disappeared now
that ft! Is known that the Germans
must have made tremendous sacrifices.
Much is made of tho victorious advance o,f the Russiun army arid the
belief Is held here that If the Germnns
succeed In reaching Paris the Russians will almost as certainly reach
Berlin.
So far as can be gleaned from official announcements, the great "battle
lino along the French frontier and in
Belgium continues to be the scene of
engagements between tho opposing
armies. In tho north the French and
British lines havo been moved back
a short distance as well as the
French right in the region of St. Die.
The French troops on tho offensive
between Nancy and Vosges aro said
to be making headway.
The Belgian troops are said to havo
compelled a wholo German division
advancing southward to retrace its
steps.
It is reported a fourth French division at Namur has fulfilled its tusk
of arresting th0 German column and
allowing tlie Belgians to retire on the
French lines.
Outlines  Great  Combat
(Special -Cable to The Daily News and
New York  Times.)
PARIS, Aug. ->6.—By G. H. Harris.—
From the muss of confused details It
is now possible to construct provisionally an outline of tbo great combat
In Belgium. In the first place It is
evident that tho first Germans to
reach tbo field of action came not
from Brussels <but from the northeast.
All the week the French had been in
contact with flying columns of thi
army of the Meuse as far off as Gem-
bloux. It seems probuible that tho bat-
tie of Diaunt, which' has been forgotten in tho stress of later events although It seemed to' ho a considerable
victory from which tho French artillery In particular emerged with honor,
really marked the end or an attempt
to relieve and occupy Namur. However, that may be, they have since
been slowly retiring toward the frontier and this movement* evidently pru*
dentlal, became decisive when the
German troops, thrown southward
through Brussels, arrived upon tho
scene. On Wednesday evening last
French troops, including a battalion of
the Hue. Chasseurs d'Afrique and Tur-
cos with some artillery, were brought
into Charleroi. By, Thursday evening
the allies wore crfgaged against the
enemy to the east of- the town but the
north was still relatively free. Tho
Brussels railway was still, howover,
cut midway and numerous detachments of Uhlans were found about Hat.
Hitherto Mons itself was not threatened.
Big Battle Begins
Early on Friday morning a column
of Uhlans broke Into Charleroi. They
wero made prisoners but by Saturday ail. the northern approaches to
■Mons and Charleroi were swarming
with bodies of the lnvador.s and serl*
inn- fighting had begun.
The Frener artillery has checked the
first advance and put the German
guns out of action. Infantry regiments were 'brought up but not in sufficient numbers to make pursuit possible.
Later In the day reinforcements, os
pecialiy of Zouaves, arrived.   Some of
them  -were  engaged   In   disposing  of
German   Incendiaries   ln   the   town,
while others, crossing the Sambre near
Thuin, pursued the enemy as far as
Fontaine 1'EveqUe.
Meanwhile Mons had been occupied
by the British expeditionary force and
on Saturday morning one could sch
Mr. Thomas Atkins stripped to the
waist and taking his morning- tub.
During the morning a German armored'
aeroplane flew over tbe town. A
French aviator roso and pursued i tho
piano and he is believed to have
brought lt down near the frontier.
Britieh  in Desperate Affrays
All through Saturday night tho BriP>
Ish artillery, well -sot on hills surrounding Mons, was engaged -without
interval. Between Saturday .morning
and. Saturday night the British force
Is said to have sustained and victoriously repelled six mass- attacks thy
different bodies of, German troops.
That 2,000 out of perhaps 10,000 men
should have been put hurt d'cofnbiit
during these engagements, to say nothing of tho greator Josses of! the
Germans, speaks sufficiently of their
desperate character,
At many points the battlcflold It*
described as being blocked with
masses of killed and wounded so that
the cavalry found It difficult to
charge, while the1 perpetual flight- of
shells made, especially during ..tho
night, r terrible spectacle. It seemed
that the British on their side were
more than holding their own but although reinforcements were continually brought forward the position In
Charleroi on Sunday evening was
much more serious.
Charge after charge was made by
first ono side and then the other and
tho French and Gorman artillery kept
up an unceasing bomlbordment.
By then the Germans had evidently
fired a largo part of the buildings and
the fact that the place was no longer
habitable, ovep If it could have been
held, may havo beon one df thc reasons for the deefsion to effect a gen-
oral retirement on the frontier.
Fell Back in Perfect Order
While the allies graduully fell back
in perfect order tho line of ffre moved southward until tho allied army
rested on the base it now holds. Tho
Germans were in superior numbers.
One body of Uhlans, coming from'tho
neighborhood of Mons uctually crossed the frontier near Conde, on tlio
Sohelde Monday evening. All through
the night they traversed the neighboring towns and villages and tore-up
some of tho railways. After covering
20 miles of French territory at about
4 a.m. they wore caught and* wiped
out by a French cavalry rogimont. On
Sunday morning a similar patrol of
German dragoons was caught to thc
north of Lille. One of thc prisoners
was Lieut. Ernst von Wedeneyero.
Another band of Uhlans was captured Sunday at the gates of Courtral bv
a detachment of French hussars.
Their chief officer was Lieut. Count
von Schwerin, a nephew of the kulser.
The young commander (he is only 25
years old) had been married only
seven months. The officer commanding tho French detachment found that
the count's sword was a present from
the emperor himself and had the inscription to that effect iipdn iho
blade. Thc sabre and the officer's
bolt and helmet were toduy brought
to St. Ouen and presented to the wife
of the officers who captured him. The
sword was bloodstained and its point
was twisted.
Uhlans Beat Women
Other outpost engagements a,re reported in this region. Railway communication bus ceased between Ullle
und Courtral but the latter town Horn
not seem to have been seriously
threatoned. Tho rail from Conde tn
Bouehaln was to have been conduct*-*-
«d by one of the three columns, i&ift
of which crossed the frontier, fltlffelffg
for Roubaix, where It was driven btlck

While the nations of Europe are at war, the people of Canada have a duty
to their own land as well as to the Mother Country, While regretting the
issue forced on the Mother Country and giving contingents to England's aid,
let us also give all the help we can to ourselves. Canada's own big problem is that of a country which has imported much—and suddenly finds those
importations cut off.

Apparently there were never any great

The more the Germans advance, however, the more perilous becomes their
situation. The German army now has
its flanks menaced by Belgians based
on Antwerp, with their advance
guards at Mallnes, by the northern
French army, and by the allied masses
near Maubcuge.

In*- Hamburg paper the FVemflenblatt,

rowds, thousands of persons, paraded
to the German quarter In tho west
end of London, singing patriotic songs
and shouting "Down with the. kaiser;
down   with   Itorlin,"   says   this   paper.
Here and ther,, In the Borfln press
are little items of news which lhro,w
a world of light on affairs |„ th.
kaiser's empire. Here are a few, taken
nt random:
Great annual Leipzig fair at wbh-h

owing to the general belief that this
year there will be nq purchasing. The
corn exchange and market of Berlin
has been closed; so have the exchanges for wool and cotton. Associations and unions for waiters are

that In Brandenburg, Including Berlin, there are 35,000 waiters without
work. Boys and girls guilds are engaged in arduous work of harvesting
and the difficulty of finding- male
teachers to continue the work of education  Is emphasized.

the German press about the scandalous
conduct of a number of Germun women, who met u train of French prls-
oner-i at Frankfort and other plat-es
and gave them little gifts <\t chocolate and cigarettes and ln one nr two

women without breeding or honor,"
German papers up to Aug. 31 con
tained large casualty lists with names
qf killed and wounded,
The last one In detail Is that of Aug.
18, which apparently deals with the
first fighting near Llego. Approximately this list numbers (>00 dead and
wounded nnd 250 missing.
Roughly speaking,, four casualty
lists published to Aug. 21 account for
about 2,500 killed, wounded and prisoners.

Revenge for two. defeats earlier In
the season canje to the. members oi
the Nelson baseball t*-am yesterday
afternoon when they trimmed the faBt
Colville hlne by th0 score of n runs
to' 1 after « gtme which though loose
Ih' &, co.uple of Inhlhgs, provided some
real stellar ball for the fans who
lurried out.
Another (tatne hns 1ieen; arranged'fdj-
this nfterhion by the management of
the iDCttl club, Whfen an 6*eri elqser
and hnrder,fol|Kht oontpst is expect--
eded thhn tljat which took plnce yesterday. The. gome toddy will ("-eminence nt 2:30 o'clock with young Bert

heavy work for Neisdn, and Chnflic

ma*ltistnv of the Colville nine on the
niound thcfic' days and big things fire
expected of him thlg afternoon by his
tenmrnnles, whh, are said to be willing to wager real money on thelf
twiner.
The first* ball pitched hy Snoddy In
yesterday's gnme Wns met by Pitts
tfith a resouridlng sw'a't ahflwaq good
for two hags. It seemed to take the
life out of the Colville boys for Curran was safe on Gilson's error, stole
second and both Pitts nnd Curran
scored on Glbbs'single, Potter, Allnn,
Sturgeon and Maurer all touted
•Snbddy un fo-va bihglc and Allan and
Gihbs hnd scoredbefore the dust had
•bleai'ed away. The second inning for
Neisort was almost a rPljetItlo.n of the
tltHt and four more runs came across
bfllfn* Up a ferife lead tireight runs
fnr the locdls, IH' the third they add-
fed two more When Sturgeon nnd
Maurer came across the pan and In
the fifth they added another through
Glbbs.
Cplvillc's only run enme in the fifth
When Graham reached first on an error and enme home when 3. Rodgers
lined out, the only real' good hingle
which the Americans mado off Moss
during thn afternoon, it wns a three,
bagger that went right out into deep
centre. '
Mtich'credit for the Nelson victory
is due to Moss, the big Rosslnnd twirier who^is bearing d Nelson'uniform,
fftr he ne\ver did let .thfe Colvilleltes
get dangerous and his fielding was
something superb. He was ably assisted, however, by the locals, who
used the big stick io perfection.

London Papa*. Suggests Possible Em-
.broriment Through Search of Ship*
', .„,    .Bound . for    Holland,
(By Dally News Ledsefi Wire.)
LONDON, Auff. 21.—Tlie .Chronicle
today warns tiie Knt'llslv «oyt'rnm«nt
of the ditnfe'or of England becoming
embrojlod with the 'United Stutes civer
'luxations of contraband' of war -aiid
argue8 thut any enstrtinKoment between the two great countries would
be the .extreme of bad' nianujiement.
' "It must be the guiding principle
of the British government,-1 the -article says, "to direct its nava* jjoiicy
So that we may Hot become embroiled
With any neutral power. In neai'ly
every war of the P"st two centui'ies
tve incurred this danger,
"The only really powerful neutral
dt tlie present time fa the United
StateB. Jf there is wise statesmanship
wo shall remain in perfect Amity with
that power, aa well as with The Neth-
■erluiida, which possesses tho great
gattway leading' to the heart of Germany.
"The United States possesses the
rfght to send cargoes to Rotterdam and
will exercise .that right. We must be
prepared tr^ste neutral AmeriOan vessels discharging enrg'oes In Holland
ports. Many questions are likely to
arise regarding the exclusion of absolute or conditional contraband-
that Is, things that may be used by
the Gorman naval and military forces.
It has been the British practice to
regard as liable to capture any cop-
traband cargo and concerning which
it could be proved they had an ulterior
ho&tile' destination. It Is evident that
thlg provision presents a real danger,
as the character of a cargo can o,nly
be ascertained by exercising the right'
df search, which the. United States
has stronglyrcsisted and which was
the cause of the war of 1812,
"Picture, then, an American ship
approaching the port of Rotterdam und
a .B>Itl*3h naval officer exercising the
right of search and detaining the ship
on the presumption that ber gridn
cargo Is 'co.ntrahniid. "'The coolest
judgment wotil(i b'e needed in such a
case to avold^ a dispute and a misunderstanding.'
It has been sugfiested that we allow food supplies to enter Dutch ports
on th** mere . declaration that their
cargoes are not in transit to tho enemy. Whether sue^' a declaration will
bo sufficient it is^difflcult fo, say but

dors to France, Russia, Belgium, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and communications from those countries to their
representatives- In London, embracing
the whole course of the negotiations
beginning with'a pacific note on July
from Sir Edward Grey to Sir E,
Qoschen, BrltlBh. ambassador at Berlin, on mediation between Austria and
Servia, and ending with the British
ultimatum to Germany bearing date
of Aug. 4, and they leave upon one
the conviction that the sole obstacle
to peace was the emperor ot Germany,
at times speaking through his alter
ego, the emperor of Austria.
A great effort Is now being made
by German and Austrian subjects and
sympathizers, from the German chancellor downward, to Influence public
opinion and have tbe kaiser regarded
as having acted only in self-defence
against envious rivals and a semi-
civilized barbarism; and -a group of
Germans In New York have recently
commenced the publication there of
"The Fatherland"—a weekly paper,
the purpose of which is to present
Germany's view of the facts, or as it
states It, "fair play for Germany and
Austria." It charges that an Intrigue,
bora In Britain and fostered In France,
has aimed to destroy Germany's commercial progress, and now seeks to
involve the United States with ,the
triple entente against Germany In the
pending struggle; but In view of the
revelations made In this "white paper"
ther can be no question aB to where
the awful responsibility rests. It Ib
upon the shoulders of Emperor William.

ALL SHOULD BE  PRESENT.
j Tl\* people of Nelson this afternoon
will have an opportunity of formally
farewellirijj the first Kootenay-Boundary contingent' to leave for service
•with the BrltlBh armydn the present
European struggle.
^Eyetyone who can possibly do so
Should be present at the recreation
grounds this afternoon. The mem-
ber^'bf this contingent are going to
fight the Empire's battles, They are
Kootenay and the Boundary's first
representatives in the great struggle
for liberty and honor which Is-now In
progress.
Everyone who desires to see the
cause of liberty and honor succeed
a5&.;who desires to bid Godspeed to
the men who are going to uphold that
cause should make a special point of
heing present at the recreation
gtounds this afternoon.
WHO CAUSED THE WAR ?
tn his htstorlo speech delivered on
the afternoon of Aug. 3 In the British
house or commons Sir Edward Grey,
minister ot foreign affairs, used the
following language:
First of all let me say very
shortly that we have consistently
worked with a single mind and
with all tbe earnestness in our
power- to preserve the peace.
(Cheers) The house may be satisfied on that point. We bave al-
. ways done it; and in these last
years, as far as his majesty's government are concerned, we should
have no difficulty ln proving that
we have done it, In the present
crisis It has not been possible to
secure the peace of Europe, because tbere haB been little time
and there has been a disposition,
at any rate in some quarters, to
force things rapidly to an issue—
and we know tbat the result of
' that is that tbe policy of peace,
as far as tbe great powers generally are considered, has failed. 1
do not want to dwell upon that
and to comment upon It, or to say
where blame seems to us to He,
and which powers were most In
favor of peace, or which were
most disposed to risk or to endanger peace, because I would like
the house to approach the crisis
la which we are from the point
of view of British Interests, British honor (loud opposition cheers)
-BYItlsfr obligations (renewed
cheers), and free from all passion.
1   He* continued:
We shall publish papers as Boon
as we can regarding what took
pta*ce  last week when we were
'   working' for   peace;   hnd   when
these papers are published I have
tio doubt that td every human being they will make It clear how
'   strenuous and genuine and wholehearted our own efforts for peace
were, and tbey will enable people to form their own Judgment
upon what forces were at work
which, operated against peace..
Sir. Edward Grey possesses  In  a
marked degree, as minister of foreign
affairs,    the   confidence of the two
great historic partleB In the BrltlBh
hotlse of commons—about ninety-five
per cent of Its members.   He Informed
tbe house that events were moving
With a rapidity so great that the attitude, of tho Empire in the war which
was being forced upon them would
not  permit their waiting .until   the
printing of the papers' and "conversations" which had taken place between
the British government and the other
governments of Europe.
These papers and "conversations"
ha»e, however, since that been printed, and were tabled ln the house on
Aug. 5, and a review of them and long
extracts from them have since tbat
appeared In tbe London Times.
Ataong them are letters from Sir Ed*

No Brag or Bluster.
In Britain there is no brag and bluster. The nation ls calm and resolute.
It realizes the horrors of war, but It
Is ready for the worst.—Halifax
Chronicle.
Will Be the "Goat." ,
And after the slaughter, and after
the blood In the trenches has mingled
with the mud; after debt, devastation,
disease and death have claimed their
toll, will the other monarchs say,
'Francis Joseph Btarted it?"—-Louisville Courier-Journal.
Ready for Any Sacrifice.
The present war has again disclosed
how true and strong Is the spiritual
bond which makes the -British Empire
one. Australians, South Africans,
New Zealanders, Canadians—we are
all Britons today. The crisis which
confronts tbe motherland confronts
ua all. We are thankful that God
has given Canada a place In the sisterhood of British nations, and we
are prepared gladly to make whatever
sacrifice may be necessary for British
honor and British freedom.—Presbyterian.

SAYS TURKEY IS

Ambassador Declares Sentiment Has
Been Influenced by Taking Over
of Warships In England.
(By Dolly News, Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. — The
Turkish ambassador said today he was
without Information as to the stand
his government would take in the
European crisis.
"Turkish sentiment has..been influenced,'1 said the ambassador, "by the
taking over by tbe British government of the warships just completed
in English shipyards for the Turkish
government This action on the part
of the British government was entire*
ly unnecessary. The British navy did
not need the warships and they meant
everything to,Turkey. The vessels
were completed and ready for their
trials." i   ;.  .

ARMED BRITISH
SHIP HELD UP
Haa   Guna   Mounted—United   States
Warship Wanta to Invaatlgate—To '
Salute With, Captain Says.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The Wilson
liner Francisco, a British steamer
bound' for Hull with a cargo of grain,
was stopped today as she was leaving
port by the UjS.S. Florida, stationed
In the lower harbor, to. see that neutrality- regulations . of the -United
States were observed by shipping.
The Francisco' has two 4.7 calibre
rifles mounted at her stern and; it was
these which caused her to be detained. The guns were ln position when
the ship arrived here from Hull
Aug. 12.
The Francisco left dock at 8 n.m.
It had been rumored ln maritime
circles that the United States government would make some objection' to
'her leaving her -berth when armed. ,
Officers of the ship, when informed
of this rumor, Bald the guns were
only set up for saluting purposes.
When off the statue of Liberty the
Francisco dropped anchor and tlie
captain came ashore for his clearance
papers. He secured them and returned early in the afternoon to bis ship,
which proceeded down the harbor. As
she passed the Florida, however, she
was signaled' to stop.
At the Brooklyn navy yard It was
said tonight that the r commander of
the Florida had decided that the Francisco should be detained until certain
facts concerning her clearance papers
had been determined. Later the
Francisco waB allowed to sail, It is
not Known If she carried the guns,   '

BRITISH SHOWED
UTMOST GALLANTRY
Casualty List Not Yet Publiihed—Attention of Unitsd States Called
to German Atrocities
(Spcciul Cable to The Dally. News'and
New York Times.)
LONDON, Aug. 28.—The reports In
regard to the 'battle tn Belgium where
tlio falling hack of the French forces
also compelled the retirement, of the
British, show from all accounts that
the English behaved with the utmost
gallantry,
The Ust of casualties has stilt not
heen published, leaving many thousands of relatives und friends 'worrying.
When the lists are published they
are likely to have the effect of fully
arousing the British Hon. * Earl, Kitchener's army of 190,000 Is now practically recruited but thousands , of
more men are needed and a-> vigorous
campaign to recruit men Is being In*-
Btltuted.
On0 method Is the posting of flaming posters In prominent places. They
are headed: "A Call ,to Arms.—Enlist
for tho War Only." . The taxlcabs
prove a splendid advertising medium.
The British press ts vehement In .Its
protest as a result of tho Belgian official report of German atrocities. • Some
papers -'call America's particular at
tentlon to this phase of the war. Thc
exploit of .the Zeppelin at Antwerp
arouses tremendous indignation.
America is called upon to bear .'witness
to the devastation caused by the
"modern Attlia."

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
STILL IS PROBLEM
Increased Shipping Facilities Improve
Commercial Situation—Money la
Slightly  Hardtr.
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Additional
steps looking to the relief of the foreign exchange situation wero taken
today by International bunkers, but
definite details, were lacking. It Is
understood that the $8,000,000 of New
York city obligations which fall due
the first week In September will be
met by the purchase of exchange In
ihls  market.
Arrangements are under way also
for tho Increased facilities of shipments of grain and other commodities
io Europe.
Most of the grain m>.w going abroad
Is consigned to France, while England is taking small amounts of cotton.
A review of the steel and iron industry Indicates that the leading* mills
ure no less active than a month ago,
.Home even more so, but the buying
power Is steadily running behind production. There has been some Inquiry from abroad, including Australia, without much.actual buying.
: Announcement by thc Pennsylvania
of Us intention to further curtail its
passenger service along thc main system was attributed to foreign- conditions. All roads are said to be contemplating' similar action.
Money shows a tendency t0 harden,
somc loans bein**- made nt as high as
0 per cent. Foreign exchange has
been visibly strengthened by tho reported success of the German army-
Demand sterling was quoted 5.04 tq
R.05, with'cables 5.05% t0 a point
higher, while tho little business done
In Paris cables was between 4.90 and
4.05.

PARIS, Aug. 26.—The tenseness and
uncertainty that has dominated the
population was relieved tonight by the
frankness of the newspapers in admitting the turn of the three days'
battle. H ■    ■ -
"At last we know where we are,"
Is the common remark of one person
to another, but doubt of ultimate success has never entered the mind of
any one.
The Journal Desbata says:
"It Is a check. In the Lorralnes we
have resorted to defensive tactics, being outnumbered."
The Temps* editorial article, headed "The Powers Still Neutral," says
that as Geriuany Ib seeking to enslave
the world the existence of neutral nations is at stake, and adds:
'Our sought for result-la not yet
realized. We*failed to>cut;the Ger-1
man forces In two at decisive points/'
The Petit Parl'slen says: ,
"We must have the courage to cnll
things by name. We have received a
severe check."
The Figaro expresses tho Btate of
mind or the French public In an edl-
tori*?, headed "The Psychology of This
War,"'In which the depression and
expectation of defeat noticed In 1870
Is compared with the French confl-
■leuce and determination to succeed.
The keynote of .public sentiment today is Btruck thUs:.
"The first shiver of apprehension
has succeeded the thought that victory
was near.
"Communiques on this are intended
to maintain our morale and strengthen
our nerves as a nation, from over
prompt hope. We said, 'It will be
hard,' but the nation did not believe
us. It believes us now, but It has not
flinched It has, too, received a baptism of fire. This battle shows that,
the war will he long, but bloody ahd
grievous. Suffering must be borne-
very well, We shall boar it bravely."
Frartce Calm, Dignified.
The 'Matin sums up opinion in onc
line:
"The armies of the allied nations
are perfectly united In faith, hope and
sentiment."
Stephen PIcbon, in the Petit Journal,' says:
"France remains calm and dignified
before the news of a check-toward our
armies, with complete confidence In
final success and resolved, like England and Russia, to accept all difficulties, sacrifices and Buffering: to obtain it."
Hold Fait Till Death.
The Echo de Paris quotes Wellington's words at Waterloo:
Hold fast till death," saying this
applies not only to the soldiers but to
the nation, which must be firm.
A paragraph. In Petit Parisian says
that paper has received information
from arrivals trom Mons that the British had orders to prevent the Germans
Trom reaching that town. They repulsed six different attacks between
Saturday morning and Monday evening. . " '
■ The opinion Is expressed here by
military men of .neutral nations awaiting permission to accompany the
army as observers, that the situation
Is not in any Way alarming and that
there ia likely to be a lull in the conflict for a few days. The flrBt wounded to arrive In Paris were placed in
the big Val de Grace hospital, near
the Luxemburg ifrrdens, oh Tuesday
afternoon, where 4,000 beds were
ready/ They arrived at the Gare do
L'est station,-showing that they were
not from the Charleroi battle.
"I  understand.' Mrs-. Nurlch,
