GERMANS ARE FORCING WAT TOWARD PARIS

Allied Armies Seem Unable to Stem the Tide of Kaiser’s Advance— Battle Raging. allied armies of I Belgium, France and England seem unable to stem the German progress and

one victory after another has come to the Kaiser’s troops. The Germans are pushing onward to Paris and their advancing army is believed to be larger than the allied armies, while the latter troops will lack the unanimity of action possible with Germany. France established three lines of defense, but daily defeats along the first line are recorded, while the reported failing of Namur, a finely fortified city, shows the effectiveness of the German artillery. A big battle raging at Muelhausen is probably the most important since the Liege engagements and on it depends, temporarily at least, the security of Fjance, While it may be that the German victories have been only local, it is certain that the allies and”'the world have been surprised at the success of the Germans and their first line of defense has crumbled and other German victories may reasonably be expected because of the larger German armies. It is probable that Germany will employ only such troops along the Russian frontier as seem .essential to hold the Itussians in check and will swing their vast forces into France and endeavor to Whip the French and the supporting English. * If reports can be depended upon England up to this time has sent only albout 100,000 soldiers to the support of the French and Belgians. The German troops occupied in the aggressive movement against France art thought to number between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000. The force of the allied troops along the border, is thought to be Jess than 1,000,000. English are being trained and Canadians* are answering the call of the British, but it will take some time to get these into condition to be of much force in withstanding the ajV vance of the trained Germans. Jaban, which declared war against Germany only a few days ago, is now expected to include Austria in the declaration. Turkey may be drawn into the conflict also. Earl Kitchener, secretary of state for war in England, has prepared the nation for a long drawn-out conflict, wiith consequent deprivations’ on the nation. The British sustained 2,000 eausalties in one engagement. It is understood that four-fifths of these were sustained - during a retreat, British anxiety is great, for it is believed that manjr thousands must be sacrificed before the restoration of peace.

No Word Has-Been Received From Henry Luers.

The family of Henry Luers have received no word from him since Tuesday, Aug. 4th. The letter received that day had been written and mailed in Germany a week before and contained no word albout the German war. During the month since the letter was written the country has become involved in a great and persons who were visiting there have had no chance to leave or to get word to their anxious relatives. .Mr. Luers had been expected to arrive home about Sept. Ist,, but it is not probable that he will he able to secure passage. While, there is every probability that he is perfectly safe, his family naturally are becoming somewhat alarmed about him.

Ball Game With Wheatfield Has Also Been Canceled.

There will be no ball game with Wheatfield for next Sunday. Manager Bowie this week, called the game off, owing to the fact that the patronage has not been sufficient to justify the expense of the game. The/ Athletics may decide to get a game lor Rensselaer.

MOOS FOLGER ON HIGH PRICED MEAT

Toledo Packer' Declares That Beef is Plentiful and That Recent Advance Was Unwarranted.

Lafayette Journal. Jacob Folger, the Toledo backer, has some decided opinions about the advance in the price of meat. In an interview in the Toledo NewsBee he said: “If men want to gamble let them gamble in something else than necessities of life,” said Folger on Monday.' Folger refused last week to follow the lead of Chicago meat barons and take advantage of the war scare to get high prices for meat. Folger says such business methods are robbery. ‘Meat that the Chicago dealers would have been glad to sell for 12 and 14 cents a pound they sold last week for 25 cents,” said Folger. “I don’t believe in robbing people. “For a few days We were compelled to pay more for the meat from fche producers. We had to raise our price a little. But we were able to sell five cents lower than the Chicago men.” Folger says that meat prices are rapidly returning to normal. He sees no reason for a boost in meat prices. “There may be some excuse for the high price of sugar,” he said, ‘but sugar and meat are two different things. “On account of the new tariff there was a big reduction in the su ; gar beet crop in this country. But there is an abundance of meat.”
