Dutch Troops March
To Guard Frontier
Attack on Antwerp Would Undoubted

land's Territory by Germans.
Flushing, Holland, Aug. 21. Dutc'a
troops were being concentrated today
in the provinces of Zeeland and Dutch
Brabant, on both sides of the Scheldt,
to enforce neutrality in the event of a
Perman attack on Antwerp.
The city is about 10 miles from the
frontier, but its outer fortifications,
on the north, are but a mile and a half
from it. An attack on them would al
most inevitably mean a violation of
Dutch territory.
The closing of the Schfeldt. which
might be incidental to such an attack,
would also constitute an Infringement
of Dutch neutrality, but British war
ships were depended on to guard
against this.

Paris, Aug. 21. The Germans in
Alsace were reported today In retreat
on Strassburg and toward the Rhine.
The French, It was said, were pushing
their advance.
The war office's account of the situ
ation was as follaws:
"French operations In upper Alsace
continue successful. Numerous Ger
man prisoners and 24 cannon have
been taken.
"The enemy was engaged In force be
tween Mulhausen and Altklrch, both
of wMcl the. .French jiow hold.
".The latter have taken a number of
the Germans' strongly entrenched po
sitions In a series of brilliant bayonet
charges, proving conclusively the su
periority of the French soldiers.
"The French advance guard In Lor
raine has encountered vigorous resist
ance, the enemy being strongly en-tranched."

office here stated today.
Russian victories were also re
ported along the Austrian frontier,
the czar's troops having driven out
all detachments of invaders and
occupied a number of points on
Austrian soil.
It was admitted, however, that
much damage was done by the Ger

Paris, Aug. il. An encounter today
between the Germans In Belgium and
the allies' main body was believed her
to be expected y the French war of
fice. Kzcept that German cavalry were in
possession, few details were known
concerning the occupation of Brussels.
Announcement that the city had been
taken was made Thursday night. The
civil guard and all citizens had been
disarmed and the German commander
had promised to protect the town and
to save its historic spots from acts of
vandalism.
It was assumed that the kaiser's
Infantry would occupy the Belgian
capital today, leaving the cavalry free
to proceed southward.
The Belgian main body's retirement
from Brussels to Antwerp- was con
sldeed to have eliminated them from
further operations in the field, as It
was taker, for granted the Germans
would bottle them up in the latter city
"The Belgians have fulfilled their
part,'' the official statement put it,
"and the sterner work of the future re-
. mains to be undertaken by the French
and British allies."
This announcement epitomized very
accurately the Paris war office's view
of the situation.
The Belgians were depended on to
do no more than delay the Germans'
advance while the French and British
made tnetr preparations. They pur
sued their task, far more effectively
than had been expected. Yet the des
perate fighting which has already oc
curred was looked on only as outpost
skirmishing.
"Henceforward, sterner work," is on
the program.
The situation was regarded highly
satisfactory! With the Liege forts
still believe to be holding out at their
rear, a strong Belgian force threaten
ing their right flank from Antwerp,
Namur a menace to their left, and the
allies facing them, the Germans' posi
tion, was considered an unenviable one.
The denial that there were any Brit
ish troops in Antwerp was thought to
have been Issued for strategic reasons.
It waa expected the British troops
whereabouts would soon be revealed.
The Germans were, reported en
trenching strongly at Dlest, Tlrlemont,
Louvain and Malinez.
All Americans May

Washington, Au- 21. That all
Americans in Europe desiring to leave
would be homeward bound by October

afternoon by Secretary of War Garri

Americans would be brought home
within two weeks.
Garrison planned today to send 10

next Monday and Tuesday to bring
Americans home from Europe. Ten

cancelled.
Germans Are Retiring.
Paris, Aug. 21. The French were
tlearing the Germans from upper Al
sace today.
In Lorraine, however, they were en
countering strong resistance.
Their advance cavalry had revealed
the presence of a large German force
between Chateau Saline and Morchinen,
entrenched as far as the River Seille
and heavily supported by artillery.
Indications were that this body's
business was that of opposing thel
French advance on Metz.

HERE ARE THE FACTS:
The accuracy of tho United Press dispatches which eave to
the world the first news of the death of Pope Pius has been
established beyond dispute.
Owing to the absence from Rome of Cardinal Delia VoIdc
several hours elapsed between the pope's death and the formal
official announcement. This is established both bv the evi
dence of the United Press correspondent and by the corre
spondent oi tne iNew York bun, whose delayed cablegrams
reached the Sun yesterday. They are published in another
column on this page.
Here is the accurate chronology of Wednesday's events:
At 1 o'clock p. m. Rome time (4 o'clock a. m. Portland time
the Sun correspondent cabled that the pope was dyiner. but that
the news would be withheld until the official announcement
was made.
At 5 o'clock p. m. Rome time (8 a. m. Portland time"), the
Sun correspondent again cabled that the end was near, but that
the news of death would not be given out until the arrival o
Cardinal Delia Volpe at midnight.
At 8:29 o'clock p. m. Rome time (11:29 a. m. Portland time")
the United Press correspondent wired that the pope had breathed
his last. The news was immediately given to the Portland pub-
uc oy a journal extra.
Some four hours later Cardinal Delia Volpe arrived in Rome
and finally at 1:20 a. ro., Ihursday, Rome time (4:20 o. m
Wednesday, Portland time), the official announcement was made
It was then that the slow freight of the Associated Press began
to move.
Only a few hours before Pope Pius passed away the Asso
ciated Press newspapers published a Rome dispatch saying that
Iris condition was "not as serious as had been reported."
The unseemly controversy' begun by the Associated Press
newspapers 'is without excuse. It is pitiful attempt to divert at
tention from the inefficiency of their own news. service.
CHARGED WITH BARBARITY
The Rome censor held up this message because the pope wis actually 1 du,y elected pope
Turning, after th; third blow, to the
others in the chamber, he said solemn
ly, "The pope truly is doad."
