German troops were sweeping on the Anglo Frencl:
allies today in a monstrous tidal wave.
All experts agreed that a mighty test was near.
The German vanguard in the north was reported but
95 mil pa from the French citv of Lille. ffi
. It was reported that Germany had taken Ostend
Brazes and Brussels,
To the southward they were advancing past Namur,
where the forts were already invested and a battle raged.
It seems plain that the plan was to catch the aMies
between these northern and southern columns and crush
them, if possible.
Farther to the southward Germans and Austrians had
attacked the French in Mulhausen.
The fighting there was desperate, the kaiser's forces

Villa's army will outnumber Carranza's

if this body is added to the northern
army.
London, Aug. 22. Warning that the allies were about
to receive the brunt of the German attack reached the
London Telegraph from its correspondent at Givet, on
the v rench irontier today.
"The Germans," he said, "are advancing like a tidal
wave and all signs point to a conflict between the con
tending armies along the front 20 miles long.
"It is rumored that the allies have withdrawn to the
fortified positions within the French frontier.
Germans Are Unopposed.
Paris, Aug. 22. Practically unopposed, the Germans
were sweeping toward Ostend in force today.
They were pressing also along both banks of the river
Meuse. Indications were that all preparations have been
made for a heavy assault immediately on the allies' lines.
Germans and Austrians, combined were enveloping the
French .at Mulhausen, where it was clear a desperate
struggle was imminent.
The official Gazette announced the promotion of Alfred
Dreyfus, Jr., to the rank of Sergeant for gallantry at
Mulhausen.
Think Ostend Is Captured.
London, Aug. 22. Reports of Ostend's capture by the
Germans were generally believed here.
The "Times Post and Express" expressed fears of an
air raid upon England by German Zeppelins'. The war
office, however, did not think such an attempt likely.
The same government office referred to the German
move as "extremely unlikely."
The British were horine desperately for a speedy in
vasion of German and Austrian territory by the Rus
sians forcing a withdrawal of their troops from western
to protect' tneir eastern frohtier. "v ; '".'...,,'.

CARROLL SENTENCED
TO PRISON FOR LIFE
Case Has Been Tried Throe Times, and
Motion for New Trial Was Denied
Carroll Thanked Judge for Fairness.
After hearing the motion of his at

Anna Hoffman, a daughter of Marshal
John Zoller, who was present at her
father's bedside, was willing to testify
that her father said when shown a
photograph that that was not the man
who fired the shot which was to result
fatally. '
The other affidavit was by Miss Ger
trude Savage, the nurse who attended
Mr. Zoller until he was taken to Port
land to be operated upon. Miss Savage
taid that Mr. Zoller said that the man
who had hold of him at the time of the
shooting was not the man who shot
him. Also tnat the man who was
nicnt for the killing of Marshal Zoll' ! wounded in the scuffle was not the
of Gervais, Eoy Carroll stood tip and
thanked Judge Percy K.. Kelly for a
fair and impartial trial and the treat
ment accorded him as a prisoner on
trial for his life without money or
friends. In making the motion for a
new trial, Attorney Guy O. Smith in
troduced two affidavits showing that

As this evidence could have been in

to allow the admission of the new evi

little bearing upon the result. The facts
were threshed over at three trials and
the judge held that it would only bo

POPE'S SUCCESSOR
- UNDER DISCUSSION
TO ELECT POPE. .
Eome, Aug. 22. Cardinal
Camerieingo Delia Volpe, tem
porary head of the Roman Cath
olic church, announced today
that the conclave for the elec
tion of a new pope will begin
August 31. It was generally
believed a seloction would be
made by Septembor 3 or 4.
To Check British.
London, Aug. 22. Though it admit
ted the report was possibly troo, the
official war news bureau here announc
ed tonight that it had not received offi:
clal notification of the occupation .of
Ghent, Bruges and Ostend by Ger
many. -The Hague, Paris and Hotter
dam newspapers carried the story in
considerable detail.
It was inferred that the Germans
wanted to gain control of the Belgian
and northern France coasts.
The advantage to them of such a
capture would be that it would place
them in a position to fe&Tst the landing
of more British troops to aid the
French.
Communication Stopped.
London, Aug. 22. Cable communica
tion with Ostend has been interrupted
since 10:13 a. m. today.
This was accepted as proof that the
Gt-rmans occupied the city.
Passengers who arrived at Folkestone
by the last regular steamor which left
the Belgian port Friday night said the
Reiser's cavalry was just outside the
city at the time of their departure and
was preparing to enter.
Thousands of refugoes from other
points, it was stated, wore in Ostend
and a panic prevailed in the city.
Delayed Ten Honrs.
New York, Aug. 22. The above cable
was held up by the British censor, hav
ing been 10 hours in transmission.

Austrian Loss Fearful.
Athens, Aug. 22. Fearful Austrian
losses in the fighting Francis Joseph's
forces had with the Servians along tne
Drina this week were reported here
today in Nish dispatches. In their
flight, it was said, large numbers of
tho Austrian soldiers who had escaped
death in battle were driven into the
river and drowned. Thousands of them
were made prisoners and great numbers
of horses and cannon and huge amounts
of ammunition and supplies fell into
the Servians' hands. The Servians
were also admitted to have suffered
heavilv in killed and wounded.
On both sides it was said 300,000
men were engaged, about equally divid
ed between the two sides.
The Servians were reported swarm
ing into Bosnia.
rVETTEEAL BATTLE
NOW IN PEOGEES3
Paris, Ang. 22, "The long-expected
general engagement in Belgium is ln
progress," asserted dispatches ln La
Liberte this afternoon. "There has
not, however, been a general German
occupation of Ghent and the main col
limn of German infantry has not crossed
the Elver Dander. '
"Only cavalry is In western Bel
gium." N "
FIGHTING IS DESPERATE.
Paris, Aug. 22. The German center
was reported tonight desperately at
tempting to rweep the opposing French
ni ttaicrfana from their atrongly en-
tniiA Wurmen near CharleoL At
the aame time they were making a su
preme effort to silence the Namur fort.
By Henry Wood.
Some, Aug. 22. The choice of a suc
cessor to the late Pope Pius X will
hinge on the question of modernism,
it was believed here today.
Pius was an anti-modernist.
Among the members of the Sacred
College, a faction headed tiy Cardinals
Do Lai, Billot, Scvin and Dubillard
favor a continuation of the late su
preme pontiff's policy.
Another group leu by Cardinals Maf-
fi, Ferrari and Uaspam supported a
change in the direction of modernism.
Prince Chigi, the marshal in charge
of the conclave of cardinals which
elects the new pope, having signified
that age has unfitted him for his of
ficial duties, Cardinal Camerlengo Delia
Volpe, the temporary head of the
church, has chosen Prince Ludovico to
act in his place.
Pius' body again lay in state until
4 p. m. today, when it was returned to
its temporary tomb in St. Peter's with
solemn ceremonies.
Anna Sarto, the late pope's sister,
had completely recovered today from
the physical shock of her brother's
death. Her health was never endanger
ed and she has received numorous call
ers, acting as the representative of her
brother's family.

London, Aug. 22, In caso the French

Great Britain's policy turn suddonly
more or less pro-German t
A number of well informed diplomats
here expressed the opinion today that
it would.
France and Itussia, it was agreed,'
would want to dismember the empire,
of course giving Groat Britain, if it
should ask for it, its shore. Nobody
doubted that Belgium, after what it
has gono through, would endorse this
program heartily. Denmark and Hol
land, which have long feared encroach
ments by their powerful noighbor, it
was taken for grautcd, would favor the
same thing.
Bussia, of course, would want a big
share of Austria. Borvia and Monte
negro would be entitled, in case of a
division, to portions for themselves. t
Presumably lloumnnin, which, without
getting into the war thus far, is credit
ed. With having done good service Dy
threatening to invade . Bulgaria ' if it
took sides with Germany ana Austria
Hungary, would get another slice.
Just to CbecK Germany.
Italy unquestionably would want th
Austrian Adriatic provinces and might
reasonably expect to got them, thougn
like Boumania ir. has yet done no fight-
ne, in consideration of the enormous
favor it has done to France by failing
to strike at the latter from the southward.
Good -judges of international politics
inclined to think, however, that all this
chopping up of the Gorman and Aus-tria-Hungnrian
empires would be much
to Great Britain's distaste.
The latter 's sole objection to Ocr-
many, it was pointed out, has been that
Getmany was too strong. The entire
aim of all its lending statesmen for
generations, according to these authori
ties, has been to provent any conti
nental nation from becoming and re
maining unduly poworful.
Its Course With Russia.
Before the Russo-Japanese war it was
just as hostiln to Russia as it became
later to Germany. Its defeat by the
Japanese shattered the Russian strength
for the time and, having no further
reason to consider tho czar dangerous,
tho British ceased to hate him.
They began to regard Germany with
suspicion, however, and as Germany

ffill STRATEGY
ECllRRS ALLIES
Bv J. W. .T. Mason.
(Former London Correspondent of tho
United rress.;
New York. Aim. 22. The appearance
today of German skirmishers at Auden-
arde, Belgium, 25 miles north or tne
French city of Lille, was an asionisn-
ng adventure, coming so soon alter
Brussels' capture.
It was a move possibly of great sig
nificance, indicating that the Gorman
general staff is considering the danger
ous expedient of moving westward
from Brussels to the north of the allies'
position.
This is the route tho Germans would
have followed if they had. been unin
terrupted on the River Meiise. The
line of marcn runs aimosi uue irei
from Brussels to Audenarde, near the
Franco-Belgian frontier. Here the main
road turns to tho southwest and pro
ceeds to the frontier gap northwest cf
Lille, where it was planned to begin
the march across French soil.
Caught As In a Vice.
If the allies nave done nothing to
defend this route, it may go hard witn
them, in case, as is generally supposed,
their positions look eastward, since they
will be forced to face about, the turn
ing of a defensive front being a diffi
cult military maneuver. i
Antwerp is too far away seriously to
threaten the flank of the German north
ern advance if it extends no further
north than the lino from Brussels to
Audonarde, and should thig force driva
westward along the northern route, sim
ultaneously with a German frontal
movement along tho Brussels-Namur
Hue, the allies would be caught in a
vise and forced to face two fronts a
once, a situation undoubtedly possess
ing dangerous features for them.
Fill tho Lion's Teeth,
The allies' position is somewhere in
the Audcnarde-Brusscls-Namur angle
and Germany strategy having, appar
ently, been prevented at uinani irom
delivering a southern attack in force, it
seems now to be developing simultan
eous movements rrom mo norm um
enBt, which, if successful, will squeeze
the allies southwest into France, leav
ing the kaiser master of Belgium.
The suggestion yesterday that the
French In Lorraine had advanced Into
the lion's mouth, felt his teeth and re
tired, was borne out by French official
reports today.
Tho strategy In that district has been
extremely puzzling. It seems as if the
French bad not fully considered the
highly dangerous character of the Met-Saarburg-Strassburg
area. Their move
ments during the past week have been
on a par with the Duke of York, who
"marched his men up hill and dowa
agaiu." , ',.:.'
