PARIS, Aug. 8. The French army
of Invasion is attacking fortifications
guarding the German stronghold at
Muelhausen, sixty-one miles south of
Strass burg. This movement followed
the victory earlier in the day over the
Germans at Altkirch. The town is
heavily fortified and defended by a large
force and the sanguinary conflict is
expected.
THE FRENCH INTEND TO
SWEEP AWAY THE GERMANS
News of the capture of Alsac and the
attack on Luelhausen indicates that it
is the intention of the French to sweep
the Germans from the Swiss frontier to
Strassburg. Details of the strength of
the attacking column are withheld.
Should the attack succeed, the French
will have broken the first line of the
German's defense and be able to put
Germany on the defensive in this
quarter.
BRITISH r LLbT LANDS
TROOPS AT OSTEND CALAIS
The British and Grench fleet trans
ports convoyed by two battleships and
three cruisers landed twenty-two thou
tand regulars at Ostend Calias and
the direction of the French officers. It
is admitted that this is only the advance
guard and the Loifclon war officer has
ships prepared to rgsh a hundred thou
sand men across the channel. The an
nouncement that the British troops had
landed caused wild emthusiasm here.
PARIS, Aug. 8 It is officially an
nounced that the forts at Liege contin

tered the city evacuated yesterday be
fore the arrival of the Belgian division
which had come to the rescue. The
LONDON, Aug. 7. Facing the dil
emma of being for or against German
in the titanic fight which is about to
disrupt Europe, Italy this afternoon
chose the latter alternative.
The Italian minister here annonu
ced this afternoon that Italy had de
clared war against the Kaiser and would
statr an agreesive action backing up
this declaration.
It was seen sevcrla days ago that
Italy's neutrality would not stand the
test of events. Bulgaria may be the
next to declare war and in fact it is
said that even now she is mobilixing her
troops on the frontier.
Reports say that Greece and Spain
are also expected to declare war.

evacuation was without military signi-1
ficance as the forts command the routes' LONDON, Aug. 7. Except the eas-
and railroads. The withdrawal of the i tcrn shore, where the German fleet
German troops, nowever, was an un
questioned moral defeat.
The operations of the Germans were
based on the hypothesis of rapid suc
cess. They were organized with little
aid the Belgians. This afternoon they
are on their way and are twenty miles
south of Leige.
GERMANS COLUMS TRY
TO CARRY FORTS BY STORM.
The German column again today
tried to carry the Belgians forts by

Army officers think it tne campaign
through' Belgium lies Germany's only
liope of marching her soldiers into
France. Even allowing for the ne
cessity of scrubing the Belgian Army,
experts here regard this as the most
feasible point of attack.
For nearly 40 years French en
gineers have labored in concentrat
ing fortifications, including great re
volving turrets like those of a dread
nought, that virtually cover every mile
of the frontier between France and Ger
many and South of Belgium. Army
engineers believe these delenses are
invulnerable except as against an ar
my vastly outnumbering the French
forces.
The American axiom is that one
soldier behind such defenses as the
French have erected is equal to four
in the attacking army. This ratio
of effective defensive and offensive
power might be greatly reduced by
systematic siege operations but this
would involve much, time and would
interfere with the supposed German
plans for a dash into Paris.
Therefore the begoinning of the
campaign in Belgium has been ex
pected here. The belief is that the
Belgians for the present will confine
themselves to obstrusive tactics, los-

period of compulsory attendance for

the beginning of the school term of said

county board of education or, in case of
towns or cities of two thousand or more
inhabitants, by the board of trustees of
the public schools of said towns or cities.

A dispatch to the Daily News from
New castle says a wireless message re
cerved at South Shields reports that the
British fleet engaged the German high
seas fleet in a heavy battle off the South
Dogger Banks.
After a general engagement along
battle line extending for many iiles
the German fleet was beaten back and
moved in the direction of the coast of
Holland.
It is now believed that the German
fleet is completely hemmed in the east
ern dsie of the North Sea.
"The surgeon in charge of the South
Shields hospital received a wireless
message . last night asking what ac
commodations he had for the wounded.
He replied that he could' take care of
10,000 persons.
WHOLE BATALLION OF
GERMAN ANNIHILATED.
Not a single fort has fallen into the
hands of the Germans. Several Ger
man howitzers have been placed In
position near Hearve and large German
forces are lying in wait on the other
side of the frontier. '
An attack on the village of Voraesse
was repulsed by the Belgians. , ',-
Six Germans pretending to be Eng
lish made their way to the governor's
office this morning.. They were killed.
TEMPORARY TRUCE . .' '
, MAY BE GRANTED.
This request for a truce was sent to
King Albert and it will probably be
granted. ' During this time a French
army of fifty thousand will come up to
vancing German Army and if possible
to cut its lines of communication.
While this is going on American
stategists believe the French forces
numerous in the neighborhood of
Rheims. will come to the aid of the
Belgians. ,
Thus, it was suggested tonight
within one year of a century after
the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo,
the Germans and French and Bel
gians again may come ftogether in
a desperate and decisive battle n
almost the same theater of war.
Today's reports of naval engage

of many similar events. Naval strate-

Nevertheless, arrangements Were
under way for the completion of large
loans, possibly up to $50,000,000 to
cotton planters, whose affairs are con

Loans made will probably stand un
til the staple can be shipped to for
eign ports without danger.
Foreign exchange was nominal with
transactions at a minimum.
Sound Condition.
Financial advices from all parts of
the country shows inherently sound
conditions. Balances at the loeal
clearing houses again were paid largely
in certificates together with emergen
cy currency.
Application at the sub-treasury to

$45,000,000 currency on hand there.
Savings banks mostly were free from
anything in the nature of runs.
