GERMAN CROWN PRINCE 4 iii,fi.T' . mm he kaleer'e eldest eon, who commande 3ne of the Oerman armiee invading France. BRIEF WAR NEWS During the past week the whole force of the German army wa thrown iKiiliml the allied troop and a des perate effort made to break through hu Franco llrltlnh lines. The offen sive movements of the allies wal aban doned and defensive strategy adopted In an effort to delay as much a pos sible what now seems to be an In evitable advance on l'arl. It I already reallxed that the ter rible struKKte on land la only at It beginning and that the German plan of campaign to strike the swiftest and strongest blow at France, regard less of tielglun neutrality or any other hindrance, and then, when France I si Germany' feet, for Germany to turn her attention to the Husslun at tack, I being carried through ruth lessly. Little can be gathered from either flrltlHh or French official account of the great battle of the last week. In fact, more Is learned from what I omitted than from what Is told. Thn only thing that Is clear Is that the allies are fighting on thi defensive on over receding line, lloth French and lirltlsh are culling upon all their men to join In tho defense of the French Hues, which apparently are dropping bark gradually. Most slRiilflcent la the official an nouncement by thn French war office that the military governor of l'arl has ordered all residents within the zone of action of the forts around Paris to evacuate and ruie their houses within four day. The Russian army In east Prussia and Galinla continue It march through east Prussia and confirm the stutemunt it has Invested Koenlgsberg and taken Allensteln. Russian troop on the Austrian frontier are engaged In a general battle on a front of 156 miles between the Vistula and Leni berg, the capital of Gallcla. Tho atendy advance of the vast Rus sian armies through eastern Prussia I giving concern to the German gen eral staff. That the kaiser' empire i really menaced by the horde pour ing Into Prussia and Gallcla la prac tically admitted by the military com mander If report received from Am sterdam are true. These report declare that troop In great number are being withdrawn from the llnea along the French fron tier and are being rushed northward through Ilelglum. MesBagos declare that 160 train loads of Germans passed through ltulglum. It Is presumed that they are being hurried toward Prussia to meet the RusslRn advance. News or a Ilrlllsn victory In a sea battle off Heligoland, the German naval stronghold In the North sea, Is confirmed. The Germans are report ed to have lost two cruUers and two torpedo-boats aunk, while another of their cruiser and many of their de stroyers were badly battered In a fight with British warship. This an nouncement comes from British off I oinl sourcea and the assertion Is add ed that the British navy did not lose a vessel and that fatalities were .two officer and 27 men killed, 19 men seriously Injured and 19 others slight ly wounded. . . In orlentnl waters, the Japanese be gan the bombardment of the conces sion of Klau-Chnu, by firing on an unoccupied Island. It Is said the Jap anese are experiencing difficulty In tholr land operations, owing to muddy roads following rocent rains, and that the Investment of the German posses sion may require some time. Louvaln, a Belgian town of 45,000 Inhabitants and with many historiu buildings, la reported to have been burned by the Germnns ns nn act of reprisal, nlleglng Belgian cltlicns fired on German soldiers. The Belgians contended, however, that the people of Louvaln did not commit the hostile net charged, hut that It was the Ger mans themselves who fired on thoir follow countrymen. r- SIEGE PREPARATIONS ARE MADE IN PARIS Four Days' Notice Given to Re move Buildings Obstructing View of Forts. Paris, It I officially announced that the military governor ha order ed all residents of the zone within ac tion of the city's defending fort to evacuute and destroy their bouses within four days. The ordrff for the clearing of the tone for the guns of the three lines of forts comprising the dfenss of the French capital, Is regarded by mil itary observer a decidedly ominous coming a It doe on the heel of re port of unexpected gain by the Ger man Invader In the north and rumor ed advance of another German col- i umn through Alsace In the direction of Del fort. The unexpected etrength displayed by the Germans, the wonderful celeri ty of their movement, the unaccount able abandonment of Lille, the Intima tion of evacuation of Boulogne, to gether with many other dovelopmenta have led military men to believe that utiles fresh force are brought Into the field In the north by the ullle the German will make further rapid prog res In the direction of the capital. Pari defense cover a tone of 400 quare mile. They Include some of the most beautiful suburbs In the world. Three circle of fort enclose the city. First, a solid wail of masonry 18 feet high extending 22 miles; sec ond, a system of 17 detached fort two mile beyond the wall and 34 mile long; third, an outer girdle of fort 75 mile long, commanding tbe valley of the Seine. GERMAN CRUELTY IS DENIED Diplomat Call Aceuiatlon of Cruelty of German Army 8hameful, New York. Count ion llernstorff, the German ambassador, while here from Washington, Issued the follow ing statement In reference to the al leged atrocities of the German army: 'The campaign of our enemle charging the German army with cruel ty I absolutely Bhnmeful. The tradl- tlona of the German army are above all attack In thla respect. Nobody can regret more than I do If women and children have been. killed during the fighting. Thla Is, however, un avoidable If the civilian population of country join In the fighting, a Is the case In Belgium, where German soldiers have been shot tn the back, where German wounded have been mutilated and doctor and nurses shot at."
