BERLIN, Aug. 28, by wireless to
the Associated Press, via Sayville,
It I., Auk- 28. Headquarters has
Issued an official report that the west
ern enemy has everywhere been defeat
ed and is In full retreat after nine days'
fighting.
General Von Kluk defeated the Eng
lish army at Maubeuge, renewed the at
tack today, and threatened to surround
It
Generals Von Guelow and Von Hau
ren completely defeated the Franco
Belgian forces, about eight corps, be
tween the Sambre and "amur and the
Meuse in several days' battle, and are
now pursuing them to the eastward of
Maubeuge.
Enemy Attacked and Pursued.
The attack on Maubeuge was opened
by the Grand Duke Albrecht of Wuer-
temburg, who defeated and pursued the
enemy across the Semois and the
Meuse.
The German Crown Prince Is advanc
ing toward the Meuse, and the Crown
Prince of Bavaria repulsed an attack
from Nancy and the south.
General Von Heeringen continues the
pursuit southward through the Vosges.
Four Belgian divisions, attacking
Tuesday and Wednesday from Ant
werp, have been repulsed, losing guns
and many prisoners. The Belgian pop
ulation generally participated in the
fighting, necessitating severe repress
ive measures.
Last Reservists Called On.
A corps of the last reservists have
been called out to guard communica
tions. The Danish colony In Berlin has
warned foreigners to beware of ficti
tious news.
A meeting today of all foreign colo
nies in Berlin was held, at which a res
olution was passed thanking the Ger
man government for the kind treat
ment of foreigners and to express ad
miration for the wonderful spirit and
enthusiasm shown by the German peo
ple. Civilians of the Belgian town of
Louvaln made a perfidious attack on
German troops while fighting. Louvaln
was punished by the destruction of the
city.
DEFENSE SYSTEM IN PERU
British Expert Emphasizes Necessity
for Holding Ground.
LONDON. Aug. 28. The Times" mili
tary correspondent in discussing the
situation on the French frontier says:
"The news that the allies have re
tired to the line from Lecateau to
Cambral shows that active defense of
the line from Lille to Maubeuge has
been abandoned, and that these two
fortresses have been left temporarily
to look after themselves.
"The necessity for holding the In
terval between the Scheldt and Cam
brai and the Sambre near Lecateau
is probably due to the need of holding
Mezleres. Once this point goes, or the
Meuse between Mezleres and Verdun is
penetrated by the invaders, the whole
system of frontier defense of Eastern
France breaks down, and if the field
armies are inferior to the enemy noth
ing remains but retreat.
"If the line there Is skillfully de
fended It should be most difficult to
penetrate Latere, Laon and Rheims,
which are provided with permanent
fortifications. But we are not at that
point yet.
The line from Lecateau to Cambrai
must expect an enveloping attack on
the north, but this attempt will prob
ably fail.
"We have every right to expect suc
cess today, but if we do not win a
decisive victory we must abandon our
bases on the coast north of the mouth
of the Somrae and shift farther south,
either to Havre or Cherbourg.
"If we are unable to resume the of
fensive and beat back the German at
tack from the north, one consequence
will be that the Germans will establish
aircraft stations along the Straits of
Dover and thereby be able to keep us
under constant observation.
"We must meet this by a counter
attack with searchlights and anti-aircraft
guns. Sportsmen should make up
practice parties for airship shooting.
"The Germans will also mount their
heaviest guns at any port they seize
and once more there will be an army
encamped on the heights of Boulogne.
'Let us, however, be grateful for one
mercy. The International financiers,
doctrinaires and lunatics who wish to
fit us out with a channel tunnel are
silenced for good and all."
A dispatch to the Express from
Lille announces that the advance guard
of Germans is now at Pont-A-Marcq
and Marchiennea.

India Fired With Patriotism.
The Marquis of Crewe said:
"It has been deeply impressed on
the government that the wonderful
wave of enthusiasm and 1- alty at the
present tirr. passing over India is
largely due to the desire of the Indian
people that Indian soldiers should
stand side by side with their com

"Our army will thus be reinforced

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Formal
protest against the burning of Louvaln
by German troops as a violation of
international law and the laws of
humanity, was submitted today to the
State Department by Belgian Minister
Havenith.
The Minister was deeply moved, when
he left Secretary Bryan's office, where
for the last few weeks his visits have
meant the record of pathetic history
for his country.
News Saddens Minister.
"1 bring this knowledge to the United
States," the Minister said sadly, "for it
is not only Belgium who has to mourn.
This thing concerns the whole world."
LONDON, Aug. 28 The War Infor
mation Bureau announces the follow
ing: "The Belgian Minister of Foreign
Affairs reports that on Tuesday a Ger
man army corps after receiving a check
withdrew in disorder to the City of
Louvaln. The Germans on guard at
the entrance of the city, mistaking the
nature of this incursion, tired on their
countrymen, whom they mistook for
Belgians.
City's Destruction Ordered.
"In spite of all the denials from the
authorities, the Germans. In order to
cover their mistake, pretended that it
was the inhabitants who had fired on
thorn, whereas the inhabitants, includ
ing the police, all had been disarmed
more than a week before.
"Without inquiry and without listen
ing to anv Drotest. the German com
mander announced that the town would
be destroved immediately. The in

FRIDAY'S WAR MOVES
WITH absolute official silence con
cerning' war operations In
France and Belgium yesterday, inter
est was transferred to news of a Brit
ish victory in a sea battle off Heligo
land, the German naval stronghold In
the North Sea. The Germans sre re
ported to have lost two cruisers and
two torpedo-boats sunk, whllo another
of their cruisers and many of their
destroyers were badly battered In
fight with British warships. - This an
nouncement comes from British official
sources and the assertion Is added that
the British navy did not lose a vessel
and that there were few fatalities on
board British ships. This engage
ment Is regarded as important as
showing the Heets to be in touch with
each other, although the ships report
ed lost cannot be said to constitute
material proportion of the great ar
fleet Germany Is known to have In re
serve either near Heligoland. In the
Kaiser WUhelm Canal or in the Baltic,
near Cuxhaven. It may indicate, how
ever, that the British have succeeded
in rendering harmless some of the
mines with which German waters were
protected at the cutset of hostilities.
The Island of Heligoland, which lies
45 miles off the mouths of the rivers
Elbe and Weber, always has been re
garded as a point of great strategic
roitiA frtr tYiA nrnteetlnn of the Kaiser
Wilhelm Canal and otherwise in the
naval defense of Germany.
Again last night there was a paucity
of news concerning the land warfare
In Europe. The French war office, In
a statement, said laconically that the
situation along Its lines on Friday was
the same as It was on Thursday, adding
that the Germans "apparently have
slackened their march." That was all.
From England there came not a word
officially concerning the fighting on
land. ,
The Important announcement that
native troops from India were being
sent to France was made In the Houso
of Lords by the Marquis of Crewe, Sec
retary of State for India, and Lord
Kitchener. Lord Kitchener said that In
addition to reinforcements which would
be received from Britain Itself, the
government had decided that the
British army in France should be In
creased and that the Indian troops were
chosen to increase the forces. Lord
Kitchener added that all the gaps in
the army In France were being ttlleil.
The Marquis of Crewe said the
Indian people desired that tho native
soldiers should fight by the side of
their comrades in the British army and
it would have been a disappointment
to India If they had been debarred from
taking part in the war In Europe.
The Marquis asserted that In spite of
heavy drafts on the Indian army, the
Indian frontiers would be fully se
cured. Louvaln, a Belgium town of 45,000 in
habitants and with many historic
buildings, is reported to have been
burned by the Germans as an act of re
prisal, alleging Belgian citizens fired
on German soldiers. The Belgians con
tended, however, that the people of
Louvaln did not commit the hostile act
charged, but that It was tho Germans
themselves who fired on their fellow
countrymen. The Belgian .Minister to
the United States filed a formal protest
yesterday with the State Department at
Washington. The Belgian version Is
that a German army corps on Tuesday,
while withdrawing to the City of Lou
vain, was fired on by Germans on
guard at the entrance of the city, who
thereafter, to conceal their error, made
charges against the citizens and burned
the citv in nretended reprisal. The
City of Louvaln was noted as a seat of
learning and art. and among the build
ings destroyed were the historic church
of St. Pierre, the famous Hotel lie Vllle
and the structures composing the uni
versity. It was declared that several
of the city's notable citizens were shot.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. American
Consuls In Europe are being over
whelmed with appeals for aid from
claimants of American citizenship who

Great Brltnln shows a disposition to

make such a move at this moment Is
exceedingly doubtful.
The Germans have been victorious In
every encounter on land, save In tna
vicinity of the Russlsn frontier. Tho
terrain there Is flat and not easily de
fended and the German forces have
deemed It advisable to fall back beforo
the Russian forces, but will make a
stand at the Vistula River, when,
strong fortifications have been erected.
By the time these fortifications are at
tacked the campaign In Franc will
have been far advanced. It Is the ex

within three weeks their troops will M

sible to detach several corps and hasten
them to the northeast for the purpose
of operating against the Russians.
Hermans Alioliilcl OhMhA
There Is absolute confidence on th
part of the Germans that they will b
successful on land. They have no ex
pectation that they will be able to de
feat the British fleet.
This explains why the German fleet
has not left port. It explains further
why the Germans are willing to rec
ognize British supremacy on the sea
on condition that the British In turn
respect their commercial and colonial
aspirations.
In reference to the latter, the con
