FORCES LINING UP FOR GREAT BATTLE •German Army Pressing Forward To• - ward Position Held by Brltlah, • French and beigians • Flagnientory reports whiah have reached London .from Paris and Brus- sds tiolleate that the advance move- ment of the 'German- army against the lines ufthe allies in Belgium and Luxemburg is proWeeding slowly but steadily, .despite -numerous "repulses 111 encouoters between the advartee The clieckl administered -to the Ger- . • man scouting detachments at Egliezee, Raelen, Neville Taviers, Diest,- Ton- gres and other Belgian. towns are not regarded by military • experts as et great account, except in their possible moral effect upon the defenders. It emus certain that the 'German battle line is closing in, all the way front north of Liege to the Swiss border :and that the 'beginning of a general engagement, which may last for weeks, cannot be long deterred.--' The Germane appear to be holding to their reported original plans 'to hammer a way into France through the Du'ohy Of .Luxemburg Lind south- eastern Belgium, and then through the gap in the line -of French fort. resses, between Verdun and Mazieres. French troops are said to have been massed at this. point and this terri- tory is expected to bear the brunt of the lighting. An announcement •by the French War Office admits that, a French _army has entered Belgium and has 'left Charleroi on the way .to Sem- bleu!, near Namur. The Belgian fort- ress „Of Namur will come within the scope of the German forward move- ment, and its defences are being strengthened in order to prolong its resistance as long as possible. The presence of French troops in Bel- gium has been reported before, but this is, the first official announcement Of the fact. Field Marshal Sir Sohn French, commander of the English expedition- ary force, is pereonallysincharge of the British troops on the continent. At Liege the forts are still stand. ing firm. The Germens on Saturday 'withdrew their artillery • from the forts on the right bank of the River Meuse and concentrated their attack 071 the left bank. The German line extends from considerably north of Liege now, its immediate front be- ing from St. Trond to Hasselt, witht cavalry details still further north. Blest and Aersehot are believed to be the objective points of an attack by several German army corps, which are reported as massing in that vicinity. A. report from Paris says that an entire division of 12,000 Germans sur- rendered to the French army during the five days' engagement in the 'Vosges mountains, where French vic- tories are said to be complete, MAY ATTACK TURKEY Triple Entente Angered by Breach of Neutrality Rules Since the purchase by the Turkisb Government, of the two German cruisers, Goeben and Breslau, the chances are that Turkey, unless she repudiates her purchase, will face war with the triple entente—and, iu addition, expose herself to the hostile intentions of both Greece and Italy. The price which the Turkish Gov- ernment is said to have paid Germany for the cruisers in question is said to have been $20,000,000. The buying of the vessels is eaid to be in direct violation of the neutrality laws, and to constitute a menace to Greece and Italy. Great Britain, France and- Resale already, have forwarded a peremptory demand to Turkey for the immediate repatriation of the officers and crews of the two ships. A report received at Paris says that they were met out. side the Dardenellet by Turkish eruis• ere and safely escorted into the haw BATTLE IN ADRIATIC Austrian Fleet Broken up by French Warships A despatch to Landon from Nish, Servia, under date or Sunday, 'saw "A naval battle between French' and Austrian warships began off TW.,:lua, Austria, in the Adriatic, at 9 o'clock this meriting. The French squadron, coming front the southwest, attacked the Austrian warships. Two Austrian Ironclads were sunk; one was set on fire, and a fourth fled northwards toward Caftan. The fight lasted over an hour." • Von EmmIch Killed Himself General Von EmmIch, coinmander of the German forces operating against Liege, has committed suicide.

JAPAN IS READY TO ENTER 116111 Sends Ultimatum to -Germany Which Is Merely a Pretext For Attack- ing That CountrY Japan has sent AR ultimatum to Germany' deruanding that she with- draw her warships and evacuate Klee - Chau. Unless Germany uncondition- ally accepts by August 23 japan will take action. The ultimatum is as follows: "We consider it -highly important and necesiiary in the present situ- ation to take measures to remove the causes of all disturbances of the peace in the Far East and to safeguard the general interests as contemplated by the agreement of alliance between Japan and Great, Britain. . "In order to secure a flrm and en- during peace in eaetern Asia, the establishment of which is the aim of the said agreement, the Imperial Japanese Governineet sincerely be- lieves it to be its duty to give the advice. tqw thgs Imperial German Gov. eiliunenr Id cal1l7 out the following two propositIous: . "First—To withdraw immediately from Japanese and Chinese waters German men-of-war and armed ves- sels of all kinds, and to disarm at once those which cannot be so with- drawn. "Second—To deliver on it date not leter than September 15 to the Ins. pellet Japanese authorities, without condition or compeasatIon, the entire leased territory of Mao -Chau, with a Vi011, to the eventual restoration of the same to China. "The Imperial Japanese Covello ment announces at the same time that in the event of it not receiving by noon on August 23, an answer from the Imperial German Government signifying its unconditional iiteep. tance of the above advice offered by the Impel -lot Japanese Government, Japan will be compelled to take such action as she may deem necessary to rneet the situation." That Germany will yield to Japan's demand is impossible, and the In- evitable result will be the occupation of Alen -Chau by the Japs and the capture or destruction of the German warships In Asiatic waters. ARMIES FACE TO FACE Great Battle impending in, Which Millions of Men Will Engage ' The conditions under which the great battle between the Germans and the allied forces will probably be fought were made the subject of an official comraunieation issued by the French Minister of War Sunday. By its developinent and the nature of 'the ground over which the battle will be waged, the cominunleation says, 'this vast engagement will differ pro- foundly from the battfes of other times. By reason of the abandonment of 'ithe attack which the Germans plan. ued against Nancy," says the corn. Munmation, "our concentration has been carried out with regularity and in its entirety, and thus the whole of the French army will battle with he whole of the Gernaan forces, with 'the exception of those German troop concentrated on the eastern frontier of the empire, ,"The violation of the' neutrality of Belgium has extended the Belgian and French lines to the frontier of Rolland.

Fleeing froni H.M.S. Suffolk, which interrepted the Karlarnhe Paat" ing at 'sea from the North Getman Lloyd steamer Kroupriz Wilherm,'the German cruiser was intercepted by the Bristol southwest of Bermuda, and for a half hour a long-range running fight took place in the blackness of semi -tropical night. Racing through thee heavy swell at a terrific clip, the ships exchanged 'broadsides without inflicting mucb damage, the cohditIons being very un- favorable for accurate gunnery. Al.' though the Bristol's eonsorts were at least 100 miles astern, the German would not stand and fight, Altering bus course, he gradually drew away, frotn the Bristol owing to superior speed, and after half an hour was out of. range of the British ship's: six-inch bowchaser. All through the night the chase lasted, but sinnewhere in the darkness the German doubled and made off south to San Juan where he Put in for coal some days ago. Details of this action were brought to Halifax last Friday by H.M.S. Suf- folk, the flagship of Rear -Admiral Cradock, commanding the fourth cruteer squadron. "Nineteen thoueand yards was the closest we got to her," said the flag captain of the Suffolk. "The Bristol was to the north' or us. and the Ber- wick to the south. We called both of them up by wireless and ordered them to aid in the chase. The Ber- wick tried to cut off the Kronprinz Wilhelm, while the Bristol took a Position to intercept the Karlsruhe. All afternoon we raced after the fly- ing German. By 5 o'clock her smoke had disappeared, and then all our hopes 'centred in the Bristol picking her up. .A.t 9 o'clock that night the weleotue news came through the air otonerausy,,f,r,oni the Bristol: the message: "We are .engaging the sight." A few Minutes later cams "Enemy in 'Although we must have been fully one hundred miles astern by then, we raced on for all we were worth. We had no fear of the result if the German stood up to the Bristol, for we were all sure that our fellows could whip the Karlsruhe easily at dose quarters, but wanted to be in at the finish ourselves. "The Karlsruhe had the' heels of the Bristol, too. They were la action for Just about half an hour. For a few minutes the German stood up and the ships fought broadside to broadside, the Bristol using her two 6-Inchers and the fire 4.1ne1iers on her broadside against the Karlsruhe's live 4,1's. After a Sew minutes, how - ''dr, the Karlsruhe turned end ran. The Bristol chased her, firing her for- ward 6-incher. It was difficult to make anything like good practice. It was pitch 'dark and the sea was heavy. Not one of the German shells landed anywhere near the 13ristol, but our chaps think they got some shots aboard the Karlsruhe. However, in long-range fighting, under those con- ditions, it is pretty diffleult to do inuch, and the Karlsrulie'e speed Saved her again," P' GERMANS FALL BACK French Troops Attacked Aggressively —Captured Many Prisoners The following official statement was issued at Paris late Sunday. night: "A forward movement developed S1111 - day all along the front from Rechi. court (Rixingen), in Lorraine, eleven miles southwest of Saarebourg, to Sainte Marie-aux.Mtnes. We carried the latter and advanced into the re- gion of Saint BIM's. "The French troops, who occupied Bonen on Saturday, continued to ad- vance, their progress being esbecially rapid in the Schirmeek valley. We have taken 1,000 prisoners in ad- dition to live hundred on Friday. Large quantities of equipment were abandoned by the Germans; we have also captured this, We Pushed aS far as Lorquin Heights, capturing a convoy belonging to a cavalry divis- ion, nonsisting of nineteen automo- biles and lorries. "The Germans attacked Dinant (ia Belgium). Their force consisted of a guard division and the first cavalry division, supported by several bat- tallions, of infantry and machine gun, companies. ,When these forces ap-' peered on the left bank the French' attacked with great Vigor awl dash: The Germans 80011 gave way and recrossed the Meuse in great dis- order. Many who failed. to reach the bridge slipped down the steep bank and fell into the swiftly -flowing .river and ivere drowned. "Profiting by the disorder, a French light cavalry regiment followed over the river and pursued the Germans for many entice. This regiment put to flight and drove before it greatly , superior forces' of 'German cavalry." Atlantic Routes Safe The British Admiralty has given, the assurance that 'the ocean routes are well patrolled, and a guarantee of the quick, reseraption of the At-' lantic passenger service.
