IMPORTANT ROAD CENTER INFLATION IS TO BLAME IAN OCCUPATION BRUSSELS GREA POLITICAL ADVANTAGE PRICE RISE LOOMING Abandonment of City Only Yut of Strata? In Opinion of ZJ,yr Slacuaalng- Xuropan War. By J. W. T. Mason. (Former London correspondent of the United Presa.) New York, Aug. 21. (11 a. m.) The German occupation of Brussels possesses a greater political than mili tary advantage. The city in strategically unlmport ant at present, but If Germany -holds It when the war ends It will possess & strong; card at the congress which drafts the peace terms. Even If Germany should be defeated, Us envoys will require all the material advantages they can show to minimize the terms against them, and possession of Brussels will be a fact with lm portant bargaining possibilities. The Belgian capital Is somewhat Im portant as a railroad and commit sarlat center for the German army, but me circumstance that it is in a com munity hostile to the Invaders les sens Its usefulness. Strategy Is Praised. The allies' strategy In abandoning It was admirable from an economlo as well as from a military viewpoint, as Its bombardment was thus prevent ed. Of the Belgians who retreated to Antwerp, probably only enough will enter that ctty to do garrison duty. the rest being- detached for active field service. No dispatches mention the French or British as being with the Belgians In the. north, and it Is practically cer tain that they are In southern Bel- glum. The Germans probably will not fol low their advantage to the northward as there seems nothing to gain by such a detour. They must plant a suffl clent force In front of Antwerp to keep the garrison locked up, but the main purpose of their advance Is to reach France. A Paris dispatch briefly suggests that If the Germans have selected northern circling route, the allies' plans will have to be rearranged. Stroke Darin; One. The possibilities of disconcerting the enemy may have outweighed with the Oerman general staff the danger of following the course of the Scheldt Into France, with Antwerp s great for tifications threatening first the Ger man ffank and then the rear. If so the strategy involved will be one of thofe daring war time strokes afterward described as the work of a genius If they succeed and the work of a fool If they fall. The French operations about Metz and Saarbruck have been a feeling of the teeth In the lion's mouth or atrass burg, and thefb has been no progress with the enveloping movement. A French report mentions a Frenoh advance Ruard retreat to the River Bellle. The stream Is close to the -French frontier and about IB miles wst of half a dozen towns in Lor raine taken by General Joffre. If the French retreat, It meant an evacuatio of these, and Germany's second victory of the war.

Foreign Drugs and Chemicals Go Up Roseburir. Or.. Aug? 21. In acknowl edgment of a request from H. C. Parby of Roseburg, asking If the federal con gress could take some action toward annulling patents on certain ; drugs. medicines, and chemicals held by Eu ropean concerns. United States 8enator George E. Chamberlain has answered to the effect that the suggestion o Mr. Darby Is an Important one and is worth consideration. Mr. Darby has learned that the drugs and chemicals controlled by foreign concerns were the only ones materially affected by the recent rise In prices. In case congress has a right to annul the Datents on these drugs and chem icals, they can be manufactured In the United States much cheaper. Bomb Explosion Causes Comment Wews Keoelved at Chlasso, Switzer land, Telling; of Injury of Ten Fas-seng-ersi on Railroad Train. Chiasso, Switzerland. Aug. 21. News that a dynamite bomb was exploded Wednesday night in a train bound from Naples to Rome created much comment here today. No more was sent out than the bald announcement of the, explosion, and the statement that 10 passengers were wounded, and it was supposed that the censor had prevented the transmission of details. With Europe in Its present disturbed state, it was felt that the Incident might have high significance. . Some believed it was an anti-militarist demonstration. In view of the threat of war between Italy and the Teutonic allies. Others conjectured that it was the work of anti-government agi tators or of a German or Austrian, angered at Italy's refusal to join its former associates In the "Triple Alli ance" against the rest of Europe. Cardinal Vannutelli, who had been recalled from Naples to Rome by the pope's death, was a passenger on th.3 train, but was not Injured, though he was compelled by the outrage to await another train.
