MERRY DE VAL MAY
BE ELECTED POPE
Known He.Will Get ft Fine Complimen

Make This Effective.
By Henry Wood.
Rome, Aug. 25. Cardinal Farley of
New York was here today to attend
the conclave of members of the Sacred
rnllipfl which will choose a successor
to the late pope, Pins X. "
"The cardinals," he said, "are pray
ing God to guide the election of a su
preme pontiff who. can restore peace in
Europe."
Cardinal Merry Del Val, who was pa
pal secretary of state under Tins, still
remained alone in his apartments today,
mourning and refusing to receive visit
ors. His friends were hopeful that he
would be selected to wear the triple
crown. Indoep, it"wag considered cer
tain he would get a large complimen
tary vote on the first ballot, on account
of his services. This his supporters In
tended to try to make effective.
It was expected that Cardinal 0 'Con
noil of Boston would be one of Car
dinal Merry Del Val's strongest advo
cates. Cardinal Martinelli, it was announc
ed, would bo excluded from the con
clave, owing to mental infirmities.
The 'members of the Sacred College
were receiving numerous condolences
from diplomats. Cardinal Yannuttelli
was receiving these, callers. .

to
Botterdam, Aug. 25: The dearth of
news from the Anglo-t'ranco-German
fighting front was such today as to
suggest that both sides, exhausted by
the prolonged and desperate battle cul
minating in the allies'' repulse and re
treat, were doing little more than rest
ing temporarily on their arms. ,.
Accounts were received of scattered
fighting up and down tne line, but it
was on a small scale, the hie ensase-
ment videntfy -having trtthr"jjarised vr
ceased altogether.- ' .
A Breathing Bpell. - 7'
That there would be much delay was
thought here to be most likely, how
ever. Though news from German
sources did not indicate much pertur
bation at Berlin concerning Russian ac
tivities, military experts felt sure the
kaiser would deem it necessary to crush
the Anglo-French allies as speedily as
possible before the czar's forces gained
too firm; a hold within his eastern
frontier.' ' . ;
How much progress the Germans had
already made was shown by reports of
tueir cavalry's presence only six miles
north of Lille and by official announce
ment of German occupations of the
toeneh ' towns of Luneville. Almance
and Dieuloard. ..'-..'
It was also certain that havlntr driv

troops hard in Alsace, where the French
professed to be still holdine out. how-

Austrian advices were that an at

AUSTRIA DECLARES -WAR
ON JAPAN TODAY
IN EAST PRUSSIA
-Borne, Aug. 25. If the Anglo-French
allies imagine that the. present Bussian
invasion of. east Prussia will compel
an early withdrawal of the fatherland's
troops from the Fteneh frontier, they
are badly mistaken, H was stated on
high German authority here today.'
Persons who imagine the ' Bussians
have accomplished much thus far, ac
cording to this version, do not tonder
stand the country In which the czar's
troops are operating. .-. 7 - :"
"It ia marshr. thinly settled soetion
with but two or tbree. large' towns, it
was stated, lightly garrisoned and with
weak defenses. ' - :
If the Germans-could spare the men,
jt was asserted, the invaders could eas
ily be 'checked, since the boggy char
acter of the country makes, maneuver
ing impossible and the roads, to wnicn
the troops must stick to 'ayoid being
mired, could be held by a few compara
tively small forces against enormously
superior numbers.' ?
Russians Can Have It. "
; The distance being of small intrinsic,
though, of 'teurse, of mueh sentimental
.value, the kaiser was declared- te- be
willing to sacrifice -it temporarily in
the interests of his more important op
erations in the west. ' i
"But it was -denied that this meant
that th Hussians would find a clear
road to ilerlin.. -.' i '
After advancing about 170 miles
along their present route they will en
counter, the German statement pointed
out, the tremendously strong line of fortifications-
along the Vistula river,
from Danzig to Thorn.
That they can ever carry these do
fflnHon iwa declared impossible. Until
they reach, them, it was admitted, their
advance probably would be practically
unopposed. . : -

The Hague, Aug. 23. Benewed fight

This romon was unconfirmed. If true
it evidently meant that the Germans,
pushing westward atter the allies, were

The Germans were said also to have
resumed the offensive in northern Bel

engagement between them and French,

This story, too, was unverified.'
Despite these reported encounters,
there seemed to be a lull in the big gen

desperate engagements centering about

New Tork, Aug. 25. France must

The allies' exhuberant feeling dur
ing the first fortnight of fighting that
Germany would furnish the fields for
the great battles or tne preiwui.
was shattered by the failure of the al
lies' plan to take the offensive.
After the German repulse at Liege
the collapse of German military jneth--j.
nrodintpd Now that the al
lies have been taught the difficulties
of offensive operations, suggestions
that the French defense has gone to
piefoe are on everybody's lips.
These judgments are on a par with
The first fighting of the
ling of the Liege forts, went against j
Germany. ' The second move, whereby
the allies hoped to succeed in offensive
strategy, resulted in Germany's favor.
This is all the legitimate meaning
is possible to extrat from the- details
which have been permitted to- pass the
censors.
Germans Have Belgium.
Announcement of the allies' retire
ment td eovring positions is probably
the graceful French way, of admitting
that- Germany is master , of Belgiim
and that the Anglo-French forces are
recovering their breath under cover of
France's permanent frontier defenses.
But tbere is a indication that the
Germans are able to follow np the eol
i.rt nf th allies' offense.
While the allies were compelled to
retreat, the almost equally important
fact seems to. be thst . the Germans
have suffered so seriously as to make
a continuation of their strategy impos
sible. ' . ''" ' ' "
There were two primary reasons why
the allies' offensive movement in
southern Belgium failed the nature of
the ground and the fall of Namur.
The allies used three armies in their
operations. Two advsneed on Arden
nes, one from the north and the other
from the south. The third advanced in
the' angle formed by the confluence of
the Meuse and Kambre rivers. .
Ardennes is thickly wooded, hilly, and
crossed bv many streams. Such a re
irion is admirable for defesre. This
fact in itself is sufficient to aceount
for the Germans' success against the
I two opposing armies there. - -
