RUSSIANS BLOCK FINLAND
Refugee Tells How Steamer Was
Seized and Sunk in Channel.
STOCKHOLM, via London, Aug. 25.
A thrilling trip was made in Finland
by 12 Americans, one of whom, ar
riving in London today, said:
"Our party left Stockholm July 31
on a steamer for St. Petersburg, but
we were stopped by a Russian warship
and compelled to return to Hango,
where we were lodged in a hotel. The
steamer was taken in charge by a Rus
sian warship and blown up in the har
bor channel. At the same time several
cranes and other harbor works were
dynamited to block the channel to the
Finnish harborv ;The explosions made
a great spectacle for the Americans.
"Our party was unable to leave utitll
August 3 because the roundhouses and
other buildings near the railway sta
tion were in flames.
"Starting for Stockholm by train, we
traveled in cars already over-crowded
with refugees. Arriving at Hyvinge
we found at least 3000 persons waiting
for the next train north. The town
was already filled and people were
sleeping on the staircases of the over
flowing hotels and in the parks.
"Our trip through Finland had in
teresting and even exciting moments,
but we were not 111 treated by the Rus
sians. Ours was tthe only party which
reached safety in this manner, as traf
fic, from Nlcolalstadt was stopped on
the day after we sailed and all tour
ists were forced to continue their Jour
ney by rail across Tornea.
"After having rested at Hernosand
for several days we came on to Stock
holm." 45.000 AMERICANS ARE LEFT

OTTAWA. Ont., Aug. 25. A second
Canadian force for foreign service is
being gathered, although the work or
mohlliilne the first expeditionary army
division of 21,000 men has not been
completed.
The check which British forces re
ceived on the Franco-Belgian frontier
appears to have Increased the enthu
siasm for volunteering. Troop trains
moving to Camp Valcartier, nea. Que
bec, have been Invaded by volunteers,
who refused to be put off. As a re
sult, there are almost 30,000 infantry
in camp, when only 20,000 were called
for.
The authorities have decided to make
use of the men who have shown such
eagerness. They will be kept and
trained and their numbers added to un
til there Is assembled a second expe
ditionary division as large as the first.
The first" will be put on transports and
started for Europe about the middle
of September.

not so strong as those of Liege, but the
position of the city was much better
for military purposes-
The forts are nine in number, the
four most important -being St. Heri
bert, Audoye, Suarlee and Cognelee,
while the connecting forts, of less
strength are Dave, Maizeret, Malonne,
Marchevolette and Emines.
All are protected by hardened steel
domes, generally eight of them in each
fort, 4id the artillery, consisting of
modern heavy disappearing guns. Is

British Troops In Action.
The French correspondent of the Ex
press says the British troops came into
action for the first time on Friday and
Saturday. It was only an affair of
outposts and scouting, but Interesting
because of the light it threw on the
exhausted condition of the German ad
vance guard. The correspondent con
tinues: "Detachments were scouting in the
country to the westward of Brussels
and south as far as Charlerot. Ex
hausted though the German cavalry
were known to be as a whole, their
success lay in continued rapid advance,
and it was obvious that they would
push on at the first possible moment.
Attack on Mollnes Reported.
"So. while Belgians were sullenly
falling back towards the north, the
English cavalry were busily employed
feeling for the inevitable German ad
vance, while the French horse, foot
and artillery came up from the south
and west."
A dispatch to the Times from Ostend,
sept today, says that 30,000 Germans
are attacking Malines, a Belgian city
13 miles southeast of Antwerp. Skir
mishes are general in Northwestern
Flanders. '
CONSUL SENT FROM TANGIER

Steamer Taken Prisoner.
LONDON, Aug. 25. The following

"It is officially announced that the
German-Austro-Hunsarian Consuls in
Tangier were ordered to leave by the
French government August 1.
"The Italian steamer Ancona. from
New Tork for Italian ports, was held up
near Gibraltar. About 70 German con
scripts on board were taken at Gib
raltar as prisoners of war.
"Fourteen officers and 170 of the
crew of the Austrian cruiser Zenta,
said to have Deen sunk August 16 in
a battle with the French fleet, have
sought refuge in Montenegrin territory.
The press, commenting on this battle,
says that the men on the Zenta, in
spired by the spirit of Tegetthoff (a
noted Austrian Admiral), ventured into
the open sea to engage. In battle a
force probably 50 times stronger
"Russian prisoners, including 20 of
ficers and 300 dragoons, with many
guns, have been taken to Lemberg,
Galicia. The Russian General Wan
nowsky Ivanoff has died from wounds
received in an engagement.
"The German Emperor has sent the
following telegram to the King of
Wurternberg: 'With God's gracious as
sistance, the Duke of Albrecht and his
splendid army have gained a glorious
victory. You will join me in thanking
the Almighty. I have bestowed on the
Duke of Albrecht the Iron Cross of the
first and second class.'

FRENCH NOW ON DEFENSIVE
Ambassador Admits Possibility of
Defeat Was Held in Mind.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. News of
the victory o: the German army at
Namur and other points in the Belgian
border where it had met the allies'
army, reached Washington through
various official sources today.
Jules Jusserand, the French Am
bassador, who paid a visit to the State
Department after his visit to France,
thus summarized the fighting in Bel
gium, based on his dispatches:
"We did not succeed that is true
but many of the reports as to our
losses are exaggerated. Two of our
divisions suffered, but the Germans
suffered also, especially the Prussian
Guard. Our movement was an offensive
one. In view of possible failure we
chose a certain line of defense, and on
that line of defense we now stand. It
was an offensive attack which failed,
but we knew it might fail and provided
our line of occupation. Our army Is
practically intact."
The German embassy made public a
dispatch said to have been received
by wireless via Sayvllle, L I., saying
the greater part of the Belgian
French frontier was in German hands
and predicting a general advance con
verging toward Paris.
ir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
Ambassador, and Viscount Chinda, the
Japanese Ambassador, called at the
State Department just as Mr. Jusserand
was leaving.
The three diplomats chatted in the
diplomatic anteroom about the general
situation. The British Ambassador
said he had no news beyond what had
been given out in London. Ambassador
Chinda was without advices as to the
operations around Kiau-Chau.
