German Army Moving to French Frontier Through the Heart of Belgium French Position in Alsace Is Said to Be Good as Troops Occupy Crests and Passes of Vosges Mountains; German Commander Denies Loss of 20,000 at Liege and Intimates That Assaults Were Stopped by Emperor s Orders to Avoid Needless Sacrifice of Life; Belgians Believe Germans Will Attempt to Cross Dutch Territory. The meagerness of dispatches from the war centers of Europe to-day appear to indicate that the censorship has become stricter than ever. Neither from England nor France is any hint allowed to pass over the cables as to the progress of events or as to the positions or movements of the huge armies of German, French, Belgian, Aus trian, Russian and British troops which, it is assumed, must now be within striking distance. A short Brussels dispatch received via London says "The German retirement reported yesterday is becoming more marked to-day." The significance of this statement can only be guessed at. It may mean that an engagement in force actually is in progress, or it may only be the general covering i.iovements that have been in course of execution for stveral days in Belgium. A Dutch dispatch says a terrinc cannonade was heard this morn ing from the direction of Tongres, north of Liege. It was reported yesterday that two divisions of German cavalry with artillery had arrived there. Belgium was to-day again the scene of outpost fighting between Belgians, French and Germans. The German commander at Liege denies the loss of 20,000 in his effort to take the forts there. He says they will be taken without the loss of a man as soon as German heavy artillery arrives. He asserts that "the Belgian force is numerically superior to ours." He intimates that the assaults were stopped by the Emperor's orders to avoid needless sacrifice of life. On the subject of Liege, the French foreign minister declares all the surrounding forts intact and that only a small force of Ger mans entered the town itself under cover of darkness. It had been pointed out previously that the defeat of the Liege forts was the inability to see one fort from the next, although the fire of their guns crosses. A Brussels dispatch says the bulk of the German army is leav ing Liege and advancing toward the French frontier through the heart of Belgium. The French foreign minister described the French position in Alsace as good, as the troops occupy the crests and passes of the Vosges mountains. Military experts' studying the positions of the opposing armies may, it is pointed out, possibly have been confused as to the German entrenchments said to have been erected on the River Aisne which they conclude to be the river of that name well inside the French border. There is also a small stream called the Aisne running into the Ourthe at Bomal below Liege and this may be the one mentioned, as it would thus form an extension of the defensive works thrown up by the Germans after they encountered Belgian opposition at Liege. Belgium anticipates an attempt by Germany to cross Dutch ter ritory and has requested Holland to state her intentions regarding the resistance to a breach of her neutrality. Sveaborg, the great Russian fortress in Finland awaits a bom bardment or battle, as the commander has ordered all civilians to leave there and also Helsingfors. Paris reports Montenegrin troops occupying Tarabosch, over looking Scutari, Albania, where severe fighting between Monte negrins and .urks occurred during the Balkan war. Considerable sums of English gold are to be deposited in Ottawa, Canada, to facilitate payments without running the risk of shipping money across the Atlantic. (Other War News Pages 3, 4, 10, 13) Consumers Responsible For Big Drop in Price of Hogs in 24 Hours Chicago, Aug. 12.—1t was admitted at the stock yards that consumers agi tating against high prices had consid erable to do to-day with a fall of forty to fifty cents per hundred weight in the price of hogs as compared with quotations 24 hours before. In some extreme cases, the drop since Monday had been as much as a dollar. Threats of a general boycott against all kinds of pork had the effect of lessening the demand from butchers. At the same time the receipts of hogs here were greatly enlarged. The ar rivals to-day alone amounted to 40,000 as against 60,000 during the whole of last week, when the supply was the lowest in a quarter of a century. Likelihood of widespread abstention from beef and mutton as well as pork was also taken notice of at the yards. To-day's prices for cattle, sheep and lambs were down ten to fifteen cents. John W.
