HA.RRISBURG *££!s& TELEGRAPH
FRANCE IS FORGING
GERMANY TO THREE
DECISIVE BATTLES
British Experts Say Result of War
Hangs Upon Outcome of Cam
paigns Now Being Waged
it'tcial to The Telrgrafh
London, Aug. 19.—The stress Rnd
strain of immense events not only pre
paring but proceeding along the entire
war line is like the silent but enor
mous pressure of water before break
ing a great dam. WhMe to-day's news
suggests little or no change of Im
portance, there is no doubt that the
struggle for the mastery of Western
Europe has fairly opened.
This week will decide in great meas
ure the fortunes of war nnd the future
course of European history.
Three simultaneous and connected
battles have already opened. The
battle for control of northern Belgium,
the battle for Ardennes and the battle
for Lorraine are at widely separated
points. Usually one looks for the
decisive conflict at the center, but this
conflict may prove entirely different.
The German advance through Ar
dennes will be dltflcult because of the
rugged, wooded nature of the coun
try, which is also crossed by deep
streams.
The allies' fate will undoubtedly be
decided on their right and left wings
—in the wide plains around Brussels
and in the Lorraine basin. '
The one thing that the allies are
anxious to learn is whether the Ger
mans will strike full force in only one
»f these arenas, or whether they will
feel it necessary to act in both simul
taneously. British military experts say
the Germnns inay be competled by the
French initiative and the desperate
urgency of their own fight against
time to do this.
Interests in Belgium
Though the heavy armies of the
Czar have begun to roll against the
eastern German frontier, the first In
terest in events belongs in Belgium.
Piercing together the scraps of in
formation that have evaded the cen
sorship, we can form a pretty certain
opinion that the German pressure up
on the Belgian battle front is already
wider and more severe than the offi
eial statements suggest.
Reports from Brussels suggest that
though the Liege forts held out won
derfully, both above and below that
city, the Germai.s possess considerable
facilities for moving their large array
and massive artillery.
There is no doubt that the French
initiative in Alsace has created a sit
uation that must be reckoned with
by the Germans.. The French invasion
between Metz and Strassburg will
menace the whole network of railway
connections with central Germany un
less it is repelled.
The French claim to be complete
masters of the heights of the Vosges
and all the chief valleys, and say that
the troops of the republic look down
from Mount Doman both on Alsace to
the east, and Lorraine to the north
and west. Mount Doman, both on Al
save to the east, is the bold sentinel of
the Vosges, and from its summit can
be seen a large lart of the provinces
lost by France and the network of
railway communication vital to the
Germftn wing.
One school of French experts has
long been of the conviction that be
fore the Germans could invade France,
they would be compelled to fight a
great battle on German territory in
the annexed part of Lorraine and that
upon that very soil the cause of
France would be redeemed. Time will
tell.
Americans in Danger in
German Border Towns
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 19, 4.12 a. m.—A dis
patch to the Daily Chronicle from
Geneva says:
"It is estimated that there are near
ly a million foreigners at present in
Switzerland. Food, which is entering
Switzerland over every frontier ex
cept that of Germany, is plentiful but
very expensive.
"The German consul general has
issued a warning to foreigners that
any person found" on Germany's
southern frontier, especially in Ba
den, or in Alsace-Lorraine, without
passports. Is likely to be arrested as a
spy and shot.
"Four Russians, alle(p-d to have
been army officers, were shot to-day at
Friedrichshafen, on the east shore of
Lake Constance, in Wurtemburg, Ger
many. This indicates that many
Americans who are stranded in bor
der towns of Germany are likely to
find themselves in grave danger.
"Switzerland Is taking the most
elaborate precautions against any vio
lation of her neutrality. The main
tenance of the present armed force in
Switzerland is costing over half a
million dollars a day."
Kaiser Tells President
His Reasons For War
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, Aug. 19. President
Wilson to-day received from Emperor
William a long message transmitted
through Ambassador Gerard, the con
tents of which were guarded, hut
which, it was learned, expressed the
grateful appreciation of Germany for
the tender of good offices made by the
United States.
The German Emperor in addition took
occasion to point out at some length
the causes of the present war and ar
gued, it is understood, that at the very
time he was trying to mediate between
Austria and Servia, the Russian mobili
sation began.
His statement is said to follow the
lines of previous official utterances
from Berlin.
It was this message which Emperor
William wrote while sitting with Am
bassador Gerard In the picturesque pal
ace garden in the midst of his war
maps.
White House officials denied that the
message .contained any protest concern-,
ing the attitude of the American press
toward Germany. It was confined en
tirely to a statement of the German
Emperor's position. - Officials admitted
that there was nothing in it which
could be construed as an indication of
whether or not the Emperor would at
any future time accept the tender of
good offices.

London Paper Protests
Against Ousting of
Reporters From Field
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 19, 5.50 A. M.—The
Daily Telegraph in its leading editorial
to-day protests against the action of
the English and Belgian authorities in
ousting newspapermen from the field
of action.
"The restrictions placed Upon the
work of war correspondents go far
ther." says the Telegraph, "than is
justified by the attitude of the press
and than is consistent with public in
terest.
"If all goes as the authorities in
tend there will not be any unofficial
full and independent accounts of any
action fought in the war. Nobody
who is not a soldier will see anything
and the soldiers will have something
more to do than record their observa
tions and impressions. The newspa
pers do not ask unreasonable things.
They do not desire to publish a line
thought undesirable. What they ask
is only that the greatest war of mod
ern times should not be fought in the
total absence of independent and ex
pert narrators.
"The government's action would be
starving the nation's interest and
would deprive the future, historian of
his materials."
German Ballets Make
Small, Sharp Hole
By Associated Press
London. Aug. 19, 3.40 A. M.—The
Daily Express prints a dispatch from
a newspaper* man at Ostend who has
been close to the (front. The corre
spondent says he has learned that the
German soldier's equipment Is much
superior to that of the Belgians, but
that the Germans' shirts, linen and
stockings are mostly of an inferior
quality.
"The Belgian officers," the corre
spondent adds, "frequently made easy
targets for the sharpshooters because
their swords and scabbards glistened
in the sunlight. This has now been
remedied by covering them with cloth.
The German bullets generally make a
small, sharp hole. There Is little
bleeding from the wounds and the re
covery of the Injured soldier is gen
erally assured."
Germans Believe They

"Correspondence found on the Ger

One writes 'Already we have pene
trated kilometres (about 37
miles) into France." Another says
'here we are in Southern France.'
"Other letters admit cruelties to
ward civilians, one saying, 'We shot
the inhabitants from the ages of 14
to 60 and knocked down thirty dead.' "
Pope's Condition Is
Not Causing Alarm
Rome, Aug. IS, 8.25 P. M„ via

headache. The coughing, however, is
easier and less frequent and the pa

Existence of Germany
and France Hinge
on Present Struggle
By Associated Press
Paris, Aug. 19, 4.15 a. m.—"Out
post combats, however interesting
and characteristic, do not justify us in
counting upon the certainty of a
prompt and definite victory," %vrites
ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs Ste
phen Pichon, in the Petit Journal.
"I find too much said about the
Germans being demoralized. Their
original over-confidence may give
place to doubts, but that is .all. The
war now beginning is a war to the
death. On it hangs the existence of
Gormanj l as well as that of France. It
will be waged furiously on both sides.
It will probably be long and the losses
enormous.
"Let us make up our minds to the
fact that we have to contend with
the most redoubtable army in Europe
and have need for all our material
and moral forces."

of Big War in Europe
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 19, 4 A. M. The
Times gives an account of the final
In rview between the British ambas
sador at Berlin, Sir Edward Goshen
and the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. Von
Bethmann-Hollweg. Speaking with
great irritation, according to the Times,
[the chancellor expressed his inability
to understand England's attitude, ex
claiming:
"Why should you make war upon us
for a scrap of paper."
The reference was to the treaty
guaranteeing Belgian neutrality.
Sir Edward replied, in effect, that
he understood the chancellor's inabil- j
Ity to comprehend the British action, I
but that England attached import
ance to the scrap of paper because it
bore her signature as well as Ger
many's.
