One of the flrHt messages from Mr. Gerard waa a formal notification from the German foreign office that moat German porta had been mined nnd re questing that American ahlpa bo warn ed against navigating In any porta which might he baaea of hoatllltlea for foreign forces. Stain depnrtinunt officials denied a report that Anibnaandor Guthrie, at Toklo, had preaenled n note to the Japanese government, deullng with possible dovolopmonta Involving Ja pan In China.

German Charge d'Affitlres tells Sec retary Bryan reports emanating from London and Tarls put Kalner In wrong light; nlleges Britain wanted to tie up Germany, and make her fleet use less and otherwise sought to humili ate the German emperor. The German reservists here' appar ently have despaired of getting back to the Fatherland. There are 66,000 stranded In New York, They were notified to return to their homes un til further notice. Similar Instruc tions were given to 10,000 Austrlana and several hundred Dutch reservists. The German federal council decided not to proclaim a moratorium for the present. The courts were empowered to deal leniently with debtors and the term for the payment of debts may be extended for three months. The long list of captures of German merchantmen appenring every day are evidence of the exorcise of aea pres turo. Nothing In the shape of food can enter Germany by sea. Her sea board suppllos of every kind are stop ped. The cessation of her trade and commerce and the consequent acnrci ty will presently have an Influence upon her population generally and al so upon her provisioning of her huge military forces. ALLIES COMBINE ON S0IL0F BELGIUM British, French and Belgian Troops Cross tho Line of Kaiser's Army. Brussels. Belgian official reports received by the war office record tha Important fact that a Junction baa been effected by Belgian, British and French troops across tha Una of tha German advance through Belgium. At Liege, where the Belgian garri son bug presented such - a stubborn front, to the German attackers, fight ing bus censed and the Belgian troops and citizens huve taken advantage of the lull to strengthen the defenses. The French troops have crossed the frontiers of Belgium, and their ap proach strengthens the position of the Belgian srmy from hour to hour. London. England's action In rush ing troops serous to tha channel to the aid of the Belgians, means that the wur office no longer considers the German fleet a menace. So long as there wsa danger from It the army was to have been held la England to repel a possible Invasion. The plan of the war office la to send at least 100,000 men to Belgium from England and to detour the entire co lonial army to the continent aa soon as they arrive. The Canadian contin gent of 21,000 men will be on the ground In a month and the Austral luna and New Zealanders will not be far behind.

GERMANY INVADED BY FRENCH TROOPS Paris. An official announcement by the French war office saya It la con firmed that after evacuating Mulhau aen the German troopa retired to Neu Brelsnch, 13 miles to the east of Kol mar, on the railroad. The French minister of war glvea the following account of the occupa tion of Mulhuusen, In Alsace-Lorraine, by the French: It waa nightfall when the advance guard of the French brigade approach ed Altklrch, aays the official state ment. The city wna well defended and occupied by a Germun brigade. The French began the assault with ardor, a regiment of Infantry distin guishing Itself In a furious charge, shortly after which the Germans re tired in disorder. Darkness permitted the Germans to conceal themselves nnd the troops of France entered the city amid the cheers of the people. All windows of the houses were thrown open, veter ans of 1870 embraced the French sol diers, nnd a great shout resounded. At dawn the advance guard resumed lta march. The cavnlry failed to find German, patrols and the march of the entire brigade on Mulhausen was be gun. , In the afternon the scouts found that many Important defenses protect ing tho city hud been abandoned and In less than half an jhour luter the French, wildly cheering the trl-color, occupied Mulhausen. STRATEGIC BENEFIT SMALL French Invasion of Alaaca la More of "Moral Victory." Paris. The Invasion of Lower Al sace by a French army under the com mand of General Joseph Joffre, the French commander-in-chief, haa awak ened great enthusiasm throughout France. French military authorities, while recognizing that the occupation of Alt klrch nnd Mulhnusen by the French troops la not of high strategic Impor tance, believe that the successful ad vance of the French army far acrosB the German frontier will have con siderable moral effect. It la bIbo unofficially reported thnt Kolmar, to the north, has fallen Into the hnndB of the Frnnch. None of these three places was strongly fortified, and all of them He outside the line of real Gorman de fense, being regarded na outposts of the strongly fortified cities.
