Thousands of Germans Killed By Bel. gians in Attack Upon Liege French and Belgian Troops Oppose Progress of Germany Through Bel Gium England Declares War On Germany President Wilson Offers Mediation. Great Britain declared war on Ger. many Tuesday night. A dispatch from London states that Germany has sent an ultimatum to Italy. Germany in pushing her advance through Belgium, has met with strong opposition around Liege where Bel gian forces, according to official ad vices reaching Brussels, have repulsed the German Army of the Meuse under General Von Emmich. The Germans are reported to have lost several thousand killed and wounded. Field Marshal Kitchener has been appointed Secretary of State for War in the British Cabinet and will have under his direction the military cam paign against Germany. French troops have joined the Bel gians in opposing the progress of Ger many through Belgium and it is ex pected that possibly Great Britain may send reinforcements.

Russian frontier patrols have pene trated 10 miles into Germany. Trawlers' returning from the North Sea bring word that no hostile war ships were to be seen. President Wilson yesterday formal- y offered the services of the United States Government to the warring Na. tions of Europe should they desire to discuss terms of peace. He tender ed what technically is phrased as "good offices" which, if accepted in principle, would be followed by a conference of Representatives' of Pow ers of Europe, in which the United States would play the role of media tor. The decision of the British Govern ment, declaring war upon Germany, for which the whole world had been waiting, came before the expiration of the time limit set by Great Britain in her ultimatum to Germany demand ing a satisfactory reply on the sub ject of Belgian neutrality. Germany's reply was the summary rejection of the request that Belgian neutrality should be respected. The British Foreign Office has is sueh the following statement: Owing to the summary rejection by the Ger man Government of the request made by His Brittanic Majesty's Govern ment that the neutrality of Belgidm should be respected. His Majesty a Ambassador at Berlin has received his passports, and His Majesty's Govern ment has declared to the German Gov ernment that a state of war exists be tween Great Britain and Germany from 11 o'clock p. -m., August 4."

Sweden has made no answer to in quiries from Russia and Germany re garding her attitude, but is preparing to defend her neutrality. Japan is making ready to live up to her alliance with Great Britain in case of certain eventualities. Spain is reported to be preparing a pioclamation of neutrality. Austria.Hungaiy for the moment has retired from her campaign against Servia for the purpose of holding bacn Russia, and Servia has mobi iztd wi.ti the reported intantion of invading Bosnia. A proclamation of the neutrality of the United States in the European war was issued by President Wilson Tuesday. A bill appropiiating $1,250,000,000 foi war expenses has been introduced in the German Parliament. The Belgian Chamber of Deputies ha. voted $40,000,000 for National defense.
