Wagner, Pack Belgians Defeat Germans Wounding and Killing 8,000 [Continued From First Page] But the Belgian artillery and infantr;- met this spectacular rush In "stonewall" fashion and slowed up and stopped the motor forces, disabling scores of the machines. Others were captured later. The cavalry fighting was particularly fierce. One squadron of mounted Belgians sallied forth from Liege and took the offensive, and by their speed and dash defeated and drove into route six full squadrons of German cavalrymen. Aviators Driven Off In this maneuver the Belgian forces received great aid from their avia tors. The German attack upon Liege was guided largely by the Kaiser's airmen, who were seen scouting from the sky several "hours before the battle began. At once thp Belgian flyers took to the air and drove off the enemies of the air heights. Then the Belgian aviators cruised over the German positions and came back with reports that were highly valuable, especially as to the locations of the cavalry, which later was defeated. They proved themselves at least the equals, if not the superiors, of the Teuton flyers. Prussian Cavalry Cut to pieces by Riflemen In the fighting between Vise and Liege a platoon of Prussian cavalry was almost annihilated by an enflading fire from a Belgian company of riflemen ensconced in a building on the bank of the Xleuse. It was in re venge for this, it is said, that the Prussians fired on citizens. At Flemalle, near Argenteau, still further on the way toward Liege, a Belgian for>e surprised a body of ninety Prussians—ten officers and eighty privates. The Belgians killed seventy of that body. Two officers of the de fending force were killed and ten men wounded. One of the German officers, taken prisoner and sent to Liege, said there that he and his comrades were amazed at the bitter resistance offered to the advance of the Kaiser's troops. The Germans had been given to imderstand at Berlin, he said, that they would not be opposed in Belgium. The Germans appeared to have been defeated in all branches of fight ins. Their artillery fire was not particularly harmful, one of the Belgian forts which was a target—Evegnee—having come through the day entirely unharmed. Fort Evegnee's guns did tremendous execution among the in vaders. Every German Attack Was Driven Back Every attack the Teutons made was lepulsed. Brussels received the news of the victory with wild enthusiasm, and the people are praying that the French allies, who have already entered the country through a south western province, may join wi A the gallant defenders and drive the Ger mans back into their own country, no matter in what numbers they may ccme. The Walloons and the Flemings have sunk all their differences in view of the national crisis, and troops of the two races sang military choruses together this morning as they marched out of Brussels on their way to the front. There is talk of transferring the seat of government from Brussels to Antwerp and undoubtedly that plan Is considered as an eventuality. But the general impression is that the fighting will he confined to the territory around Liege, and that the Belgian troops will be able to retard the Ger man march until the French arrive. The anti-German feeling throughout Belgium has become intense and many German residents were arrestedto-day, charged with espionage. Fear Attacks On Germans Every- German discovered anywhere in the city is brought before the police, who have considerable trouble in protecting the prisoners from at tack by the excited crowds. The patriotic enthusiasm here is extraordinary. Nearly all the citizens wear badges with the colors of Belgium, France and England combined. Thousands of women of all classes have been enrolled as Red Cross nurses and are awaiting the arrival of the wounded from the battlefields around Liege. King Albert has handed over his palace to the Red Cross Society and the queen will act as a nurse. Many hotels also have been transformed into Bed Cross stations and the citizens of Brussels have given up their carriages and motor cars for the transportation of the wounded. Public subscriptions have been opened for the relief of the families of those who have fallen In the fighting. Belgian Boy Scouts while patrolling yesterday captured a German cav alryman and arrcsUHl two German engineers believed to he spies. Stories of the great struggle between the Belgian troops and the Ger man soldiery yesterday in the vicinity of Liege tell of terrific slaughter among the German forces. About noon yesterday the German infantry attempted to carry by as sault Fort Barchon, to the northeast of Liege. Heaps of Dead and Wounded The attacking infantry crept up under cover of a heavy artillery fire, but the Belgian defenders reserved their fire until the Germans had come to close quarters, when at a given signal the Belgians opened with a perfect hall of bullets from rifles and machine guns, which wreaked havoc among the Germans. The attackers soon lay in heaps of dead and wounded around the fort. At the same time Fort Chaudfontaine. to the southeast of Liege, kept up a hot Are on another body of Ger-mans who had seized a neighboring castle. The Belgian artillery reduced the building to a mass of smoking ruins. The Germans finally retired all along the line. One newspaper says the German losses amounted to between four and five thousand men, while they abandoned seventeen machine guns. A squadron of Belgian lancers, according to another report, was com pletely wiped out after it had killed 15'> German Uhlans. A force of 20.000 Germans passed through Manhay, Luxemburg, on Wednesday in the direction of Aywaille, Belgium. > THURSDAY EVENING, nAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 6, 1914. [ er, Rarton. N'aylor.

Foster, chief engineer of the State Highway De partment by Deputy Attorney General Wolf to the effect that the State is liable for maintenance of a State route which has been relocated, only where established by the last act.

The care of the former route reverts to local au thorities. Censor Board Wins.

REORGANIZE!! IS HOTLY ATTACKED York Postmaster Designate Has to Face Charges That He Took Republican Money Folks around the Democratic State headquarters were down in the dumps to-day over the prospects that the fight over the York post office might have to be fought all over again as a result of the serious charges made against Edward C. Peeling, the Pal mer-McCormick man slated for the York office. At Washington yesterday this latest selection of the machine had to face charges of the most serious character and when it ended Jere S. Black, who is leading the fight against the ma chine, promised to furnish names of more witnesses for the Senate com mittee to hear. There was submitted an affidavit by D. H. McGuigan, a for mer political associate, charging that Peeling had received $5,000 from the campaign manager of ex-Congressman L>. F. L,afean. This affidavit and sev eral other charges formed a highly sensational presentation. Mr. Peel ing charged in a former statement by Jere S. Black with being illiterate and unable to read and write, faced his prosecutor. The witness made vigor ous denial of his connection with the Lafean campaign. He admitted that McGuigan had paid him S4OO after the 1911 campaign in part settlement of a note. The affidavit involves HenryC.Nlles, a prominent lawyer, as well as ex- Congressman Lafean. Citizens of York said that McGuigan was irresponsible and could not be be lieved. The witnesses also told of Peeling's qualifications and standing in the community. Among the witnesses were ex-Judge Stewart, who also ap peared as counsel for Peeling; Harvey C. Gross, district attorney of York county; Allen C. "Wiest: John W. Hel ler, who was deputy under Mr. Peeling as sheriff; Dr. James A. Dale, presi dent of the York County Bank; E. S. Stauffer, vice-president of the York City Bank; James J. Gerry, prothono-l tary of York county, and ex-District I Attorney Ray Sherwood. Mr. Peeling said he had known Mc- I Guigan a great many years and had taken over the notes indorsed by his father for McGuigan. He denied that he had ever received money from I.afean or worked to elect him. He said he and McGuigan were not friend ly now and had not been on a very friendly basis for years. He had main tained his acquaintance with him, he said, in order to get the notes paid. CHINA APPEALS TO AMERICA TO SAVE HER FROM THE WAR Special to The Telegraph Washington, Aug. 6.—The govern ment of China appealed to the United States to-day to intercede with the warring powers for the purpose of assuring the maintenance of peace in the Far East. While this government has not yet made its final answer there is every in dication that the Chinese government will be informed shortly that the United States does not consider it ad visable or practicable to take the step requested. It is possible, however, that the United States will undertake to make representations to the European bel ligerents with a view of securing the exemption of the foreign concessions in China from becoming the scenes of conflict. the like, and Dr. James M. Esler, the chief of the bureau, has completed a table showing that the bureau has thus far received 1,077,212 State docu ments from the printers, distributed 824,219 and has 173,011 on hand. There were sold for waste paper 19,982. The new division has done away with tons of documents being stored away in cellars awaiting calls by leg islation or State officials. Lists are made up of where documents are to be sent and they are dispatched under one charging system. The bids for the second year are to be opened on August 10 by Superintendent of Public Printing A. Nevin Pomeroy. Session Deferred. The session of the State Industrial Board scheduled for August 12 In this city has been postponed to August 19 In Philadel phia. It is probable that a report on ' bakeshops will be presented. \ NO TRANSPORTATION FOR CHARITIES Public Service Commission Makes a Ruling on Matter Much Asked About Lately The Public Service Commission, having received numerous reo.uests for an opinion upon the Question whether a railroad company or street railway company or other transportation com pany may lawfully grant free passes tc charitable organizations, has made this administrative ruling: "As we have heretofore had occa sion to point out, in connection with similar questions relative to the sub ject of free transportation, the Con stitution of the Commonwealth, in Article XVII, Section 8, expressly pro vides that " 'No railroad, railway or other transportation company shall grant free passes, or passes at a discount, to any persons except officers or em ployes of the company.' "So long as this prohibition remains as It now stands In the Constitution the commission is powerless to hold that free transportation may be issued to a charitable organization for chari table purposes however much we might otherwise be in accord with a public policy which would permit of such free transportation in this class of cases." Trade Commission Bill Is Passed by Senate Washington, Aug. 6. The Fed eral trade commission bill, the first of the three anti-trust hills to be con sidered by the Senate, was passed last evening: by a vote of 53 to 16.

It is authorized to require corpora tions to open their books, disclose their records and produce books, documents, correspondence, contracts, memoran da. etc., regulating transactions. The inquisitorial powers of the commis sion are very broad. The commission is also authorized to Investigate foreign trade conditions. Section 5 was the subjret of anima'.ed discussion. It makes "unfair compe tition" unlawful, but does not define it. The commisison is empowered to make an order upon a defendant found guilty of unfair competition requiring him within a given time to desist in the practice complained of.

FEUD THE 111 Will ~ CAUSE STEEL UP ton; Little Ferremanganese News of Bethlehem Steel Retrench ment Causes Anxiety in Steel- Announcement. this morning of the colsing of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany's plant at Bethlehem, throwing over 2.000 men out of employment, and the United Slates Steel Corpora tion's withdrawal of all prices on its products, is causing apprehension anions the dwindling army of em ployes about the Steelton plant of the Pennsylvania Steel Company.
