GERMAN CITY TWICE C EDIRD FLICKER DISCOVERED DEW IN HOTEL BITIOOM Former Member of Market Street Furnishing Firm Dies of Heart Trouble Edward Flicklnger, a former Mar ket street businessman, was found dead in a bathroom of the Common wealth Hotel this morning. Flickinger registered last night and | was assigned a room, but this morn-; ing when the day clerk came on, i knowing that Fiickinger's actions had] once before bee n such as to arouse comment, the hotel deskman sent up to his room to see if everything was all right. When the bellboy returned and reported that nobody was in the room, an investigation resulted in finding Flickinger in the bathroom. Fears that he might have commlt ed an act of violence led to breaking in the door and the man was found in a tubful of hot water. The water from the sot water spigot was still and the room was full of steam. It is the belief of Mr. Fiickinger's friends that before going to the bath room he had taken something to quiet his nerves, and that he became uncon scious soon after turning on the bot water. There is also a probability that Mr. Flickinger may have taken an overdose of some medicine which Wrought on heart trouble. I The body was taken from the tub [ and removed to the room and Dr. : .1.

Berlin, Aug. 13.—(8y Direct Wireless from Nauen, Germany, to the Goldschmidt Wireless Company's Sta tion at Tuckerton, N. J.) —The German troops took 120 French officers and 1,110 French soldiers prisoners in the fighting at Muelhausen, Alsace. They also captured four French cannon. Another 1,000 French officers and men were taken prisoners by the Germans in the fight near Longwy. German soil is now entirely cleared of French troops. Paris, Aug. 13, 4.45 A. M.—lt is announced here that Brazil has demanded an explanation from Germany of the report that Bernardino De Campos had been assaulted and robbed by German soldiers at Stuttgart. The Brazil ian, who is blind, was formerly president of the State of Saopaulo. Paris, Aug. 13, 12 P. M.—The official declaration of war by France on Austro-Hungary was made public here to-day. Washington, Aug. 13. J. P. Morgan & Company have inquired of the State Department what the United States government's attitude would be toward a French war loan of several hundred millions to be floated in this country. It is also understood tb at certain financial house? have approached the govern ment with a view to ascer taining its attitude toward a n Austrian loan for an un named amount. Tokio, Aug. 13.—Telegraphic communication be' tween Japan and Europe is interrupted. The first dispatch direct from Berlin uncensored by the author ities of the nations at war with Germany was received to-day by The Associated Press through the medium of the Goldschmidt Wire less Company's station at Tuckerton, N. J. The message contained the important information that during the fighting at Muelhausen considerably over 1,000 French officers and soldiers were taken prison ers by the Germans who also captured four cannon, while in another fight with the French on the border of Lorraine, further to the North, the Germans also took 1,000 prisoners. The dispatch adds that German soil has been cleared of French troops. Developments in the war zone, which appears chiefly confined to Belgian territory, are made vague owing to the strict censorship over news relating to military movements. Positions occupied by the main French, Belgian and BritisW forces are not permitted to be disclosed even approximately, so that their plan of campaign cannot be assumed. As to the German forces, indications from various sources point to the concentration of the main body with its right wing in Bel gium and its left wing in the Duchy o.' Luxemburg. The German staff is said to have gathered twenty-six army corps along the; eastern frontier facing Belgium and France. Many of these troops probably are stationed in the great fortress in Alsace Lorraine and along the Rhine. One dispatch asserts the defence of Germany's Russian frontier has been left to armies made up of reserves. Al though all of these are trained soldiers it would seem natural to leave as a nucleus for their organization a considerable force from the active armv. The dispositions and strength of the French invaders in Alsace where they are said to hold a long line within the German border, are kept rigidly secret. On the sea, the reported safe arrival in the Dardanelles of the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau has led to rumors of their probable dismantling until the end of the war. In the north Atlantic, although Rear Admiral Cradock has de cleared it "clear of German cruisers as far south as Trinidad," the French liner Rochambeau, which was to leave yesterday with French reservists, was held in New York by orders from France. In the North Sea, which the British government says may be strewn with mines, the main squadrons of British battleships are still out but their position is not publicly known. Neither is the location of the main German fleet. Reports from Dover, at the Eastern entrance to the English channel say heavy cannonading lasting an hour was heard this morning coming from the direction of the North Sea. The Austro-.Hungarian fleet, owing to the declaration of war by Great Britain, together with that of Germany, is said to be in the Adriatic where it was recently occupied in blockading the Monte negrin coast. The British squadron in the Mediterranean is strong and has the sea port there of almost the entire French fleet. Belgian reports assert a strong force of German cavalry, sup ported by infantry and artillery, after severe fighting around Haelen, was thown back toward Liege by a division of Belgian cavalry with infantry and artillery. The German killed and wounded are said to have numbered three-fifths of the five thousand men en gaged, while those of the Belgians are reported ''relatively light."
