THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURG, PA. ARMIES MOVING Ml TOWARD BATTLE German Army Is Pushing on Toward Paris. SOON MUST COME IN CONTACT French Troops Gain Stragetlc Points. ITALY MAY JOIN ENTENTE ARMY TRANSPORTS SAIL There It Now More Than a Poiilblllty That tha Great Battle Will Ba Fought On Or Near tha Hletorlo Waterloo Field. London. Pushing forward by mere velght of numbers, the German ad vance across Belgium la slowly, but steadily proceeding and soon must come In contact with, the allied armies, which, according to an official com munication from Brussels, are In bat tle order at some point unnamed. The Belgians la the outpost skirm ishing are said to hare Inflicted severe checks on the Gorman forces; but on the whole the German wing bas kept on its war and bat reached a line from north of Namur to Haelen, which sug gests that the first big battle will be fought somewhere between Louvaln and Dlest where the allies probably wia try to bloc the roads to Brussels and Antwerp and prevent the German attempt to render North Belgium un tenable. French Gain Strategic Points. Further south, French troops have entered Belgium through Charlerol, going to the relief of their neighbors and to aid la any attack directed to ward Namur, while in the east the French are reported to have secured possession of ridges In the Vosges Mountains and to bold the passes of Le Bonhomme and Salnte Marle-Au-Mines, through which Important roads pass and which It it declared gives them great strategic advantage. The Germans again are hammering away at the Liege forts and, accord ing to their accounts, one of the forts, Pontlsse, has fallen. This, however, la denied by the Belgians, who tell ot another slaughter of the invaders, who, they ay, attempted to rush the fortress. Germany Menaced On East . Military strategists are of tho opin ion that the Germans are meeting with delay which they did not count upon and that every day the Belgians keep them fighting means an Increase ot Russian forces on their eastern fron tier. They express tho belief that un less Germany disposes of Belgium and France she will have to choose be tween withdrawing a great part of her army from the west or leaving the road to Berlin open to tho forces of the EinDeror of Russia. Already hordes of Russians are re ported to be marching toward Trussla on the one side and to Austrian Gallcla on tha other. In the latter country they are said to be in the vicinity of the Styr river, which Is on the route to Lemberg. The official news bureau of the army and admiralty has Issued a warning to the public against placing the slightest reliance in the many rumors current dnllv rpeardlne alleged victories or de feats or concerning the arrival of wounded soldiers or disabled ships of Great Britain. "These are, without exception, baseless," tho warning says. Italy May Join Triple Entente. The probablo attitude of Japan and ifiv la still the subject of much speculation. Conversations are going on continuously between japan ana Creat Britain concerning Japan's duty under her alliance with Great Britain and the part she will be permitted to take In the peace conferences follow ing the war. There are persistent rumors that Italy will Join the Triple Entente. The Italian Ambassador is a frenuent caller at the Foreign Offlce. If It should prove correct that Tur- Icpv has purchased the German cruls r Oneben and Breslau, war between Greece and Turkey is said to be likely, for Greece sees in the move an at- temnt on the part of Turkey to re cover some of her Islands taken in the laRt war. Russia to meet such a cofr tlngcncy would send troops to the Roumanian frontier. The British Government has called for bids for an Issue of 175,000,000 treasury bills.

Secretary Garrison was notified that the American Line would increase the tailings of its vessels to provide ac commodations for 3,600 additional per sons, and managers of steamers that have been chartered as private relief expeditions announced they would co operate with the War Department Altogether, accommodations for con siderably more than 20,000 refugees are expected to be provided within the next 30 days. Diplomatic representatives abroad are acting promptly to provide safo conduct to sailing ports for American travelers. American Minister Stovall of Switzerland notified the State De partment that he would confer with Italian and French representatives concerning transportation for 15,000 persona. Railway service In Southern France still It in operation and it may be possible to send many ot the Ameri cana la Switzerland to a French Mediterranean port Depoaita of cash with various Gov ernment departments for transmission to Americans abroad reached more than $1,000,000. The American Red Cross cabled $500 to Munich and to Nice for the use of the American war relief committees who are cooperating with the Red Cross. Tho offlcial list of English ports open to the citizens of friendly nations was transmitted to the State Depart ment Many Americans now on the Continent probably will make tbelr way to England through those ports in the attempt to hasten their Journey borne.

NEW8 FROM WARRING NATIONS. Belgians and Germans fought at Haelen, and reports from Brussels state that the Germans were re pulsed with a lots of 1,000 killed and 1,000 wounded. Fighting continues at the Liege forts, which appear atill to be held by the Belgians. French and Belgian troops are reported to have effected a Junc tion south of Brussels. Artillery fighting near the Bel gian town of Tongres, north of Liege, was resumed. England hat made a formal declaration of war against Austria-Hungary. A wireless message from Ger many received at Tuckerton, N. J., asserts that German aoll has been entirely cleared of French troops. Russians are reported to have taken the town of Sokal, In Aus trian Galicia, by assault. Austrian troops are reported to . have advanced Into Russian Poland. British newspapers have been forbidden, under penalty of tup presslon, to publish any war news aave that given out by the official Information bureau. Brussels. Belgium, via London. The fighting Thursday betweon the Belgian and German armies in the vicinltv of Dlest lasted the entire day and constituted the first considerable battle of the war. It will be known as the battle ot Haelen. The battle centred around Haelen, in tho Belgian Province of Limburg, ex tending to Dlest, in the north of the Province of Brabant, after passing round Zeelhem. At 7 o'clock all the country between the three towns mentioned had been cleared of German troopB, except the dead and wounded, who were thickly strewn about the Ore zone. 200 Dead In 50 Yards Square. Upward of 200 dead Germnn soldiers were counted in a space of 60 yards square. A church, a brewery and some houses in Haelen were set afire and two bridges over the Demer were de stroyed by Belgian engineers. Great quantities of booty were col lected on the battlefield, and this has been stacked in front of the Town Hall of Dlest Many horses also were cap tured. The strength of the German column was about 5,000 men. When a patrol of carbineers first signaled the approach of the German troops at Haelen the Belgians manned the trenches and a hot fire greeted the German soldiers. The German guns were then brought to bear and swept the trenches with such a deadly hail that the Belgians were obliged to fall back on the town of Haelen. Reinforcements were quickly brought up, however, and the Germans, in spite of the nuiner.cHl superiority, were re pulsed, suffering severely. Says Germans Lott Three-Fifths. An official communique says the German casualties were very heavy, three-fifths of their troops engaged In the encounter being killed or wound ed, while the Belgian casualties are reported as relatively small. Another official communication says: "The Belgian cavalry division took up the offeuslve against the Germans who were defeated at Haelen, with the object, it is believed, of picking up the dead and wounded and collecting the abandoned material of war. "No German surprise was expected, and there are no reasons to fear any German cavalry movement on Brus sels fiom the south, all roads leading to the capital being guarded by the Belgian army and the Civic Guard." Puts German Losses At 2,GCO. According to Le Soir the German casualties in the vicinity of Haelen totaled about 2,000, equally divided be tween killed and wounded. The Bel gian casualties are not precisely known, but are declared to comprise only a few dead and many wounded. The newspaper adds that the Ger man troops reformed after being re pulsed and that firing began again at 5 o'clock when fresh Belgian troops were sent to the front in support of their comrades who had fought throughout Thursday. The German troops in other parts of Belgium are understood to be gath ering in all the railroad cars they can find. A passenger train near War emmes wbb halted by a German cav alry patrol and the passengers left in the open' country, the train with lis .nglneer being taken toward the Ger man lines. A Belgian official communication says that a German force proceeding In the direction of Eghezee, to the north of Namur, was attacked and re pulsed by the Belgian troops. The Germans suffered severe casualties. The Belgians captured a number of machine guns mounted on motorcars. At Tlrlemont the Belgian Lancers lost 25 killed, including Captain Knap pen and Lieut. Count van dor Burch, whllo fighting against 2,000 German ITlilans. The latter lort 250 killed. The lancers were checked by machine guns, but the Belgian infantry stop ped the Germans. A party of French dragoons while reconnoiterlng came upon a strong de tachment of Uhlans, whom they at tacked and cut to pieces, killing 50 of them. . Paris Telia Of Fight. Tarls.

"The fighting was extremely fierce and resulted In the Germans being thrown back toward Hasselt and St Trond." AT WAR WITH AUSTRIA. Great Britain Issues a Formal Declara tion. London. The war of the nations of Europe became further regularized with the formal declaration of war on Austria-Hungary by Great Britain. As soon as the declaration of war by England on Austria-Hungary became publicly known a large number of Aus trlans and Hungarians resident In Lon don who were liable to be called upon for military service applied to Robert P. Skinner, the American Consul-Gen eral, for enrollment. The clerks of the consulate-general at once began stamping the military books of the men, and this will be re garded by the Austrian authorities as evidence that the holders were ready to perform their duty. In accordance with previous Instruc tions received from Secretary of State Bryan, Consul-Goneral Skinner has notified the American consuls through out the British Isles to take over tho Austrian consulates. Ambassador Walter Illnes Page was ready to assume charge of the Austro Hungarian Embassy here and was re quested to do so. The number of Austrians and Hun garians in the British Isles is not known, but it is expected they will add considerably to the problem of the re lief committees. DESTROYED BY A MINE.

Americana Send Warning Against Anti-German Reports. Washington, D. C. The American Association of Commerce and Trade of Berlin, through Ambassador Gerard, has requested tne State Department to make public the following telegram: "We would ask tbe American press and America in general to be careful in giving credence to war reports now circulating in the United States con cerning conditions In Germany. The city of Berlin la perfectly quiet. ) France Told Holland Will Not Deviate From Stand. Paris. The Dutch Government offi cially gave the French Government re newed assurance of its neutrality in the present conflict and of its firm in tention to make it t respected. The Dutch Army, it was pointed out, was well-trained and well-ofllcered and would strongly resist any attempt to enter its territory. TACTICS SHOWN BY ARMY MOVES Strategical Problems of Warring Nations Are Now Becom ing Apparent Capture of Waterway by Enemies of Germany Might Prove Turning Point of War Importance of Pari and Berlin. Notwithstanding the meagerness of details from Europe, the strategical problems for Germany and France have become more apparent during tho last few days. France must protect her frontier against German Invasion and at the same time she must proceed as fast as possible towards the Kiel canal. That canal is apt to prove the turn ing point in the war if the triple en tente gets control of it according to a military expert writing for the Chica go Tribune. Germany, on the other hand, must protect her French border and tbe Kiel canal and drive her forces into Russia as fast as possible. The question now presented to Ger many and France is where to attack. The capture of Paris alone at pres ent probably would not bring about a cessation of combat on the part of the French, as the sinews of war have been well provided further to the south. Berlin is not Germany even to any where nearly as great an extent as Paris Is France. The straight line dis tance from Namur (the fortress before which the Germans have established touch with their French antagonists) to Paris is 150 miles; to Berlin, 400 miles; to the Kiel canal, 300 miles. The distance from Mulhausen to Ber lin is about 400 miles; to tbe Kiel ca nal, 600 miles. But the distance from Paris to Mul hausen is about 250 miles, and from Namur to Mulhausen is 220 miles, and almost straight south by east of it therefore away from Paris. Whllo a DUCAL PALACE AS HOSPITAL. U. S. CONSULATE IN DANGER. Building At Liege It Exposed To Ger mans' Fire. Washington, D. C Minister Whit lock, at Brussels, reported to the State Department that the United States consulate at Liege was exposed to fire and If the Germans decide to bombard the city it will be necessary to move it. As yet no damage has been done. Constantine Turns Over Famous Marble Mansion To Russia. St. Petersburg. The Grand Duke Constantine Constantinovltch lia given the famous marble palace in St, Petersburg as a hospital. A mass was celebrated at the Russian ministry of finances in memory of M. Nokoloff, the city treasurer of Kalisz, said to have been shot by the German troops while at his post. HEAT ADDS TO WAR'S TERRORS, K paper chimney, 60 feet high, and (Inoroof, Is a curiosity to be seen at Breslan. Germany. High Temperature In France Causes Alarm For Soldiers. Paris. France is sweltering under a heat wave. A number of cases of sunstroke were reported. Long, lines ot women could be seen throughout the day outside the offices where ! formation regarding the soldiers in the fields is given out Beeklng to hear vow the heat was affecting their husbands or sons dressed in their thick u-ii forms and carrying heavy war packs. KIEL CANAL IS BIG FACTOR opportunity and advanced on Namur, Mulhausen, Col mar and the little strip In Lorraine, which were not defended, as It might be possible that the en thusiasm and popular clamor of the French would force an Invasion of their lost provinces of Alsace Lor raine. But it is highly improbable that a determined advance in force will be made on this line even should popular clamor damani It The German Plana. Germany on tha other band has not only France to attend to but Russia at well. In considering ber plant the also must take Into account Austria. Should Russia be allowed to mobilize fully and concentrate, It is probable that she would be able to overwhelm Austria, first attacking on the Lem-berg-Bucharest (Roumanla) line. It is probable that Germany is acting with rapidity against Russia. What press dispatches have drifted through Indicate that 40,000 Germans landed some three days ago between Hango and Helslngfors in Finland. This force in ell probability consisted of one army corps and one cavalry di vision, some additional heavy artillery, engineers and aeronautical troops. From Warsaw to St. Petersburg there are 12 Russian corps, but as these are not fully mobilized one Ger mnn corps is probably as strong in mon as two Russian corps Just now. The German corps which landed In Finland and therefore behind St Pe tersburg is undoubtedly designed to hold the four Russian corps in that vicinity to keep them from going to tha assistance of the other Russian corps further to tho south. Again it wat reported that the Rus sian government has decided to evacu ate Warsaw, which was officially de nied at St Petersburg. Weighing this evidence, it seems probable that there has been a Gorman advance from Intersburg in the direction of Vllna to hold the four Russian corps sta tioned in that district from doing any harm or going to any other place. Possibly three German corps, whoso stations are close to Vilna, are en gaged in that operation. If the vigorous fighting of these four, German corps, the one In Finland and the three against Vilna, ls strong enough, eight Russian corps might probably be Isolated and fully occu pied with their own affairs and not able to move or concentrate anywhere else. Austrlant Invade Russia. It is reported that 160,000 Austrians bad been assembled In Gallcla and that THE FRENCH FRONTIER BRU3SILS BELGIUM xtArsnx i&t GERKANY V-rnriF LUXEMBURG CUUUR ycoustAsscx FRA nx;e . march or line of operations directed 1 on Berlin would Involve a defeat ot the German main army and such a great penetration of German territory probably would paralyze the defense the distance Is 400 miles. Every mile will be bitterly contested and every miles means thousand of lives and millions ot money. Kiel Canal Big Factor. The Kiel canal is the deciding fac tor in the control of tbe sea. It is 300 miles from Namur. Many of Germany's great supply points are in the interval between. An advance on this line would be near the sea, where England could help with her ships. Once the Kiel canal is captured annihilation ot the German fleet might result, which would give command of the Baltic sea to France and her allies and allow the unrestricted transport of Russian troops and material of war to the north German coast It therefore would appear that the strategy of France will aim at the cap ture of the Kiel canal, because It is the moBt Important point strategically which Germany possesses. By this line ot action France would utilize to the utmost England's great sea power. In addition, by a direct invasion in the direction of the Kiel canal France would cover Paris and her communi cations better than by any other route. An advance via Mulhausen and Strass burg would be extremely dangerous and Just what the Germans would like to see France do. Hence we see why Germany seized Liege at the earliest HORRORS OF WAR TOLD BY FLEEING REFUGEES Holland haa become the asylum of Europe. People expelled from half a dozen countries are pouring into this country by every route. From the Dutch-Belgian frontier, from Vise to Liege, the country is a wilderness. The villages of Berneux and Mouland were destroyed by shell, fire and flames. A correspondent who traveled over WOMEN OF FRANCE TO HARVEST THE CROPS Upon the women of France and upon the old men who cannot bear arms In the war depends the harvest ing of tho great wheat crop and the gathering of the grapes, both now ripening. Premier Vlviana has made a per sonal appeal to the hardihood of France's women to go out into the fields and reap the crop before It Is 44,000 of these were cavalry. This means that the three Austrian corps stationed in Gallcla, or a little lesa than 100,000 combatants, with nine di visions ot cavalry, about 44,000, have gone into Russia, but Just where is left to the Imagination. Six corps, three German and three Austrian, and from 50,000 to 70,000 cavalry are probably advancing to wards Brest-Litovosk. By the time these arrive there it Is difficult to see how the Russians can. have more than three full corps and 10,000 to 20,000 cavalry. Austrian troops have ad vanced along the eastern frontier that Is Just north of Roumanla. It seems probable that on tho French frontier at the present time Germany has nine corps ot the active army, assisted by one Austrian corps on the German extreme left near the Swiss border. Tbere probably are nine more corps of the first reserve and nine more of the second reserve also on the French frontier, which with all their auxiliaries amount to well over 1,000,000 fighting men. It appears that If these million Ger mans care to remain on the defensive on the French border it will take a pretty goodly number of attackers to get them out ot their lntrenchments, it they ever can do it Providing Aus tria and Germany are directing their main attack against Russia, France to reap any advantage must strike quick ly and hard on a line as short, in a mil itary way, as possible toward the Kiel canal. the battlefield in an automobile found eVldence of a desperate defense on tbe part of the inhabitants and sav age vengeance meted out by the Ger man soldiers. , The correspondent saw seven bodies of civilians in a ditch.
