THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURG, PA. ARMIES MOVING TOWARD BATTLE German Army Is Pushing on Toward Paris. SOON MUST COME IN CONTACT French Troops Gain Stragetlc Points. ITALY MAY JOIN ENTENTE ARMY THANSPORTS SAIL There It Now Mors Than a Possibility That the- Great Battle Will Bo Fought On Or Near tho Historic Waterloo Field. London. Pushing forward by mere velgbt of numbers, the German ad vance across Belgium la slowly, but steadily proceeding and ' soon must come In contact tie allied armies, which, according to an official com munication from Brussels, are In bat tle order at some point unnamed. Tne Belgians In tbe outpost skirm ishing are said to have Inflicted severe checks on the German forces; but on the whole the German wing bas kept on Its way and bas 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 win try to bloc the roads to Brussels and Antwerp and prevent the German attempt to render North Belgium un tenable. French Gain Strategic Point. Further south, French troops have entered Belgium through Cbarlerol, going to the relief of their neighbors and to aid In 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 hold the passes of Le Bonhomme and Salnte Marle-Au-Mines, through which Important roads pass and which It is 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, Fontlsse, bas fallon. This, however, Is denied by the Belgians, who tell of another slaughter of the invaders, who, they say, attempted to rush the fortress. Germany Menaced On East Military strategists are of the 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 of Russian forces on their eastern fron tier. They express the 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 the forces of the Emperor of Russia. Already hordes of Russians are re ported to be marching toward Frussla on the one side and to Austrian Gallsla on the 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 dally regarding alleged victories or de feats or concerning the arrival of wounded soldiers or disabled ships of Great Britain. "These are, without exception, baseless," the warning says Italy May Join Triple Entente. Tho probable attitude of Japan and Italv is still the subject of much f peculation. Conversations are going on contInuounly between Japan and Creat Britain concerning Japan's duty under her alliance with Great Britain and the part she will be permitted to take in the neace 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 Office If it should prove correct that Tur key has purchased the German cruls era Goebcn 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 inlands taken In the laBt war. Russia to meet such a con tlngoncy would send troops to the Tfnnmanlan frontier. The British Government bas called for bids for an Issue of $75,000,000 treasury bills. Start From Galveston To Be Outfitted At Newport News To Bring Tourists Home. Washington. Execution of plans of the Government board of relief to bring war-marooned Americans borne from Europe are going forward swiftly. Five army transports were sent on their way to Newport News to be hastily outfitted for a cruise to ports abroad to pick up waiting refugees. 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 manngers 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. Diplomatlo 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 be would confer with Italian and French representatives concerning transportation for 15,000 persons. Railway service In Southern France still la in operation and It may be possible to send many of the Ameri cans in Switzerland to a French Mediterranean port Deposits 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 co-operating with the Red Cross. The official 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 their way to England through those ports In the attempt to hasten their Journey home. Volunteers who have co-operated with Ambassador Gerard have made it possible for the embassy In Berlin to restore .almost normal conditions among Americans in Germany, accord ing to a report received at the State Department. 5,500,000 MEN MOBILIZED German Aeroplane Brought Down and Four Officers In It Killed, 8t Petersburg Dispatch Says.

British newspapers have been forbidden, under penalty of sup pression, to publish any war news save that given out by the official Information bureau. Brussels, Belgium, via London. The fighting Thursday between the Belgian and German armies in the vicinity of Dlest lasted the entire day and constituted the first considerable battle of the war. It will be known as the battle of Haelen. The battle centred around Haelen, in the 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 troops, except the dead and wouuded, who were thickly strewn about the fire zone. 200 Dead In 50 Yards Square. Upward of 200 dead German soldiers were counted in a space of 50 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 Belglnns manned the trenches and a hot fire greeted the German soldiers. The German guns were then brought to bear end swept the trenches with such a deadly hall that the Belgians were obliged to fall back on the town of Haelen. Reinforcements were quickly brought up, however, and tho Germans, in spite of the numerical superiority, were re pulsed, suffering severely. Says Germans Lost 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 offensive 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, ond there are no reasons to fear any German cavalry movement on Brus sels fiom the south, all roads leading lo tho 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 tbat 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 tho railroad cars they can find. A passenger train near War (.mines was halted by a German cav alry patrol and the passengers left in the open' country, the train with lis engineer being taken toward the Ger man lines.

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 largo number of Ails 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-General, 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-General Skinner has notified the American consuls through out the British Isles to take over the Austrlnn consulates. Ambassador Waller HInes Page was ready to assume charge of the Austro Hungarlan Embassy here and was re quested to do so.

TACTICS SHOWN I BY ARMY MOVES Strategical Problems of Warring Nations Are Now Becom ing Apparent KIEL CANAL IS BIG FACTOR Capture of Waterway by Enemies of Germany Might Prove Turning Point of War Importance of Paris and Berlin. Notwithstanding the meagerness of details from Europe, the strategical problems for Germany and France have become more apparent during the last few days. France must protect her frontlor 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 band, must protect her French border and the Kiel canal and drive her forces Into Russia as fast as possible. The question now presonted to Ger many and France is where to attack. The capture of Paris alone at pres ent prpbably 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 tho Germans have established touch with their French antagonists) to Paris la 100 miles; to Berlin, 400 miles; to the Kiel canal, 300 miles. The distance from Mulhausen to Ber lin Is about 400 miles; to the 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. While a opportunity and advanced on Namur, Mulhausen, Colmar and the little strip In Lorraine, which were not defended, ai It might be possible tbat the en thusiasm and popular clamor of the French would force an invasion of their lost provinces of Alsace-Lorraine. But It la highly improbable that a determined advance in force will be made on this line even should popular clamor dematj It The German Plans. Germany on the other band has not only France to attend to but Russia as well. In considering her plana she also must take Into account Austria. Should Russia be allowed to moblllie fully and concentrate, it is probable that she would be able to overwhelm Austria, first attacking on the Lem-berg-Bucharest (Roumanla) line. It la probablo that Germany is acting with rapidity against Russia. What press dispatches have drifted through indicate that 40,000 Oormans landed some three days ago between Hango and Hclslngfors in Finland. This force in all 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 Bre not fully mobilized one Oer man corps is probably as strong in men 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 the assistance of the other Russian corps further to tho south. Again It was 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 tbat there has been a Gorman advance from Intersburg in the direction of Vllna to hold the four Russian corps star tloned In that district from doing any harm or going to any other place. Possibly three Gorman corps, whose stations are close to Vllna, are en gaged In that operation. If the vigorous fighting of these four. German corps, the one In Finland and the three against Vilna, ' Is strong enough, eight Russian corps might probably be isolated and fully occu pied with their orn affairs and not able to move or concentrate anywhere else. Austrians Invade Russia. It Is reported that 150,000 Austrlana bad been assembled In Galicia and that JAPAN GETTING THE FRENCH FRONTIER BRU3SIL3 LA CMATIH u& GERTfANY BILGIUIl s-2Q. HATCUR J 1 LTJXEKBDRa " Vimnca FRAM fa BERN fiWITZERIATfD march or line of operations directed on Berlin would involve a dofeat of 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 Uvea and millions of money. Kiel Canal Big Factor. The Kiel canal is the deciding fac tor In the control of the sea. It Is 300 miles from Namur. Many of Germany'a 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 of 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 coaBt It therefore would appear that the strategy of France will aim at the cap ture of the Kiel canal, because It Is the most Important point strategically which Germany possesses. By this line of action France would utilise 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 thnn by any other route. An advance via Mulhausen and Strass burg would be extremely dangerous and Just what the Germans would like to seo France do. Hence we see why Germany seized Llege at the earliest HORRORS OF WAR TOLD BY FLEEING REFUGEES Holland haa become the aBylum 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 Llege, the country is a wilderness. The villages of Berneux and Mouland were destroyed by shell, Are 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 the great wheat crop and the gathering of the grapes, both now ripening. Premier Vivlana has made a per sonal appeal to the hardihood of France's women to go out Into the fluids and reap the crop before It is 44,000 of these were cavalry. This means that the three Austrian corps stationed in Galicia, or a little less than 100,000 combatants, with nine di visions of cavalry, about 44,000, have gone into Russia, but Just where la left to the imagination. Six corps, three German and three Austrian, and from 60,000 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 of the active army, assisted by one Austrian corps on the German extreme left near the Swiss border. There 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 those 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 of their lntrenchmcnts, If 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 evidence of a desperate defense on the part of the Inhabitants and sav age vengeance meted out by the Ger man soldiers.
