KAISER'S ARMY NOT INVINCIBLE

Elaborate Plans of German General Staff to Invade France and Russia Are Blurted.

STUBBORN RESISTANCE IN BELGIUM PROVES STATEMENT

Rushing of English Troopa Across Channel Shows German Fleet No More a Menace—Position

Considered Desperate.

LONDON, Aug. 8.—The elaborate plans of the brilliant German general staff for an overwhelming invasion of France and Russia have met with a severe check. The fighting in Belglum already has shown that the enormous German military machine, is, after all, far from invincible. The success of the French in penetrating Alsace and getting a foothold before Mulhausen, is declared by British experts to be extremely Important.

England's action in rushing troops across the channel to the aid of the Belgians means that the war office no longer considers the German fleet a menace. So long as there was danger from it, the British army was to have been held in England to repel a possible Invasion, but now the admiralty believes that it has the kaiser's formidable mass of sea fighters bottled up where they cannot be withdrawn to escort an Invading army to British shores.

The whereabouts of the fleet Is an impenetrable secret. It has not attacked or been attacked, although the scouts of the two nations fought a running flght with minor casualties and no loss of ships.

Plains to Help Belgium.

It is the plan of the war office to send at least 100,000 men to Belgium from England and to detour the entire colonial armies to the continent as soon as they arrive. The Cana-

It is already certain that the allies will strike at the German colonies. Cut off from the mother country which is so pressed at home that she can not divert a single man to protect her interests abroad, and with her fleet bottled up, for the present at least, Germany's position is considered desperate. There Is no disposition here, however, to consider Germany defeated. Far from that. She has hardly begun to flgtit and will yet take terrible toll before she is crushed, as the experts here insist that she must evidently be.

Here is the Champion Fly Catcher of Terre Haute

H. J. RLETTGER AND TRAP OUTSIDE OF HIS ME AT MARKET.

The champion fly swatter of Terre Haute is H. J. Ruettger, who keeps a meat market at 1500 Woodley avenue. He isn't exactly a swatter either. He cp.tches them in a device of his own making and in the past eighteen days caught a half-bushel of the pests. He keeps one trap on the sidewalk at the entrance to his shop.

the fighting is a square test of both armies?, the German strength and training are expected to show themselves with terrible effect.

Russia Keeps Quiet.

The mystery surrounding the developments in Russia is troubling Britishers. The war office, of course, knows what the czar is doing, but it is keeping the secret to itself. The Russian mobilization was delayed, but with the great systems of broad gauge railroads that traverse the czar's domains and the great number of cars, double the carrying capacity of any In any other country, it should be almost complete by now. Where the czar will strike Is the question. Reports that he has started an offensive army of more than 300,000 men, headed by Grand Duke Nicholas, to attempt an invasion of Austria and Germany, are current. If he does this and his troops are in the slightest measure successful, it is unlikely that Austria will be able to aid the kaiser in his operations against France, Belgium and England at all.

Meanwhile Servia has assumed the offensive against Austria and King Peter's army is pressing forward against the Austrian frontier.

REPUBLICANS TO MEET.

There will be a meeting of the Vigo County Republican club in the club rooms, 525 Ohio street, at 8 o'clock Monday evening, at which time Weir Adams, of Wabash, Ind., republican candidate for clerk of the Supreme Court, will speak.

BIG LINER OFF SHORE MAY BE THE LUSITANIA

Unidentified Vessel, Believed to Be Big Cunarder, Forced to Return to American Waters.

BAR HARBOR, Me., Aug. 8—There Is a big passenger liner anchored off the island outside the harbor. Her identity is not known. As a result, reports that she is the Cunard liner Lusitania, forced to return to American waters, are being widely circulated, but it is impossible to confirm them.

Governor Miller, of Ielaware, who was a passenger on the Kron Prinzessin Cecelie, which was forced to come in here to escape capture by British cruisers, said tonight that he had positive Information that the Lusitania, fog bound, was anchored one mile off the island, waiting for the fog to raise so that she could enter the harbor. The governor did not explain how he knew that the steamer, which cannot be located because of the fqg, was the big Cunarder, which was reported by the line officials in New York today to be more than half way across the Atlantic en route to Liverpool.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—Officers of the Cunard line tonight emphatically denied that the Lusitania was at Bar Harbor. "There is not the slightest foundation for the report," said the port superintendent. "We have been in touch with Captain Dow, and we know the Lusitania will arrive in Liverpool on Monday."

CRUISERS NEAR BATTLE

ROMS, Aug. 8.—Somewhere in the Mediterranean the German battle cruiser Geoben and the cruiser Breslau are steaming toward the Adriatic. They must flght alone, if the British and French fleets searching for them can locate them. When they cleared the local harbor their guns were manned and they were ready for action. Advices to the government say that the German warriors wirelessed the Austrian naval base asking that the Austrian navy be rushed to their aid. The Austrian officials replied that they could not do so, because Austria had not yet declared war on England.

CARNEGIE UPHOLDS ENGLAND.

I believe the kaiser did not realize what he did."

were forced to travel upon open cattle trucks through Europe. These were the only cars the railroads could afford in France. All others have been requisitioned by the government for the transportation of troops. Pouring rains drenched the fugitives. But little protection could be afforded the women in the party and day and night they bumped along on the cattle train glad to have any sort of transportation from the country.

Towns Deserted.

Every town and village of France through which the American refugees passed appeared to be deserted, save for the old men and the women and children, they declared tonight. All others had answered the call to the colors. Tramping along the road, or speeding by on troop trains were soldiers or reservists hurrying toward the mobilization centers. They were leaving their homes to flght, but hurried on with songs on their lips.

When the train bearing the Americans and British appeared, always were the stirring strains of the Marsellaies sung by the soldiers, as they cheered the refugees. The Americans declared that considering the conditions in France, they were accorded the kindliest treatment. The preparations for war came before all, how ever.

A fund for the relief of Americans was started here today through the efforts of P. F. Murphy, of New York. The London Dally Mall contributed $10,000 to open the fund and other substantial contributions were soon received. Henry Phlpps, of Pittsburgh, has offered the relief committee the use of $10,000.

MIS ME UNABLE TO PASS LIEGE FORTS

Charge Again and Again, Only to Be: Repulsed By Belgian Artillery Fire.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 8.—The battle flag of Belgium still flew proudly tonight above the Liege forts. The German general assault, initiated when the seventh, ninth and tenth corps of the German army were thrown against the forts today by General Von Emmich failed. With indomitable coinage, the German forces charged again and again, only to be 'driven back by a withering artillery fire that raked their front ranks and crumpled them back, utterly defeated. The German dead lay piled man upon man tonight, when the fighting ceased with the setting of the sun.

The Germans never had a chance. To gain the forts they were forced to cross open spaces that had been accurately mapped and the range posted for the gunners. Their movements were signalled by Belgian aviators whose work is- characterized by the general staff as "miraculous." Kin? Albert in person took a leading part in today's engagement. With a heavy column of cavalry he managed to turn the flank of the German advance and drove one of their crack regiments into territory commanded by the fort's guns, where they literally were shot to pieces. The German field artillery, mortars and siege

guns,

which had

been posted in great numbers all along the Belgian front, poured thousands of exploding shells into the Belgian forts. Many of the defenders were killed and some of the guns were put out of commission. But at no place was the German artillery able to break down the great fortresses that have held out against the flower of the German army.

Day's Losses 10,000.

The war office says that today's losses to the German army will total 10,000 in killed, wounded and captured. Among the prisoners are reported several members of the German nobility, Including a relative of the kaiser. General Leman's tactics have been a revelation. He seems to have met every German movement even before it was attempted.

The first of the French re-inforce-ments, a flying cavalry detachment, reached Liege today. Others are en route and it Is expected that the army of 260,000 men sent by the French government to aid Belgians in withstanding the German advance will be In the vicinity of Namur, where the second Belgian stand has been planned to be made. The damage to the city of Liege itself has been very great. A number of Its historic buildings are in ruins, and there is hardly a struc- 2*1 ture in the city that does not bear evidence of the destructlveness of the 'A German shell fire.

Hundreds of Belgian wounded have aJ arrived here. They are being cared for by the women of Brussels who J|| have volunteered and who have turned their homes Into hospitals for their heroic countrymen. The few wound- 1 ed German prisoners who have reached this city are receiving tha same care accorded the Belgians.
