GERMAK OFFICER

CLAIMS BELGIANS A FORCED TO RETREAT fienend Yon Stein Wires Troops Attacking Kaiser's Army Annihilated. BY BRIXTON D. ALLAIRE (Staff Correspondent of the Internatlonal News Service.) ROME, Aug. 12. Gen. Von'Stcin. an officer of the German general Btaff, claims that the Belgian forces that attacked the German troops besieging Liege were completely annthltated, according to a despatch recefU'edohere today from Berlin. The despatch says thatuGen Vonstein issued a statement denying that Germans had lost 20,000 men.at Liege, but failed to give the losses. . General Von Stein's depatch).says: "Only a small number ofjiGerman .troops were engaged In orderHo mask the movements of the mainiarmy. The I enemy's advance attacking (force was 'completely annihilated, i The forts remain Intact as the emIperor did not wish to sacrifice life unI necessarily, but as soon as the heavy artillery arrives the forts will be taken without the loss of a man." The despatch says General Vonstein admitted that the capture of the forts was a difficult problem because of the position in which they lie and he accused the residents of Liege, both men and women, of shooting at the German soldiers from behind, in some instances firing on the Red Cross surgeons, nurses and even the wounded. The German General declared that the Belgian force at Liege was much superior to the Germane in number. MONTENEGRIN BOY BOASTSJDF POWER On Way to Front Foreigner Promises to Whip "Austrian Dogs." "Servia she will whip those dogs of Austrians. How can she help to do so, I ask? Is not Montenegro at her side?" Luivo Natrovisco, a Montenegrin, gesticulating wildly, his lip curling contemptuously as he referred to the "Austrian dogs," boasted to a group of travelers at the Pennsylvania station today. Luivo Natrovisco, brim full of hope that the delicious fighting would not cease until he reached his fatherland, the smallest, boldest and most impudent kingdom in Europe, arrived from Gary today, enrouteUo New York. "These Austrians are pigs," exclaimed Luivo to his admiring audience forgetting that he had just referred to them as dogs, "and when we men of the Black Mountain -get to their throats, good night." Encouraged by openly expressed sympathy of his American auditors Luivo cast all conservatism to the four winds and gave vent to his boastings. "We will chase those Austrian pigs into Vienna in front of our bayonets. We will teach them what it means to attack our Servian brothers." . Luivo has lived in the United States two years, but having the Slav's gift of tongue has mastered the English language remarkably and has the mountaineer's love of fighting. The tiny Black mountain kingdom, the most warlike of the belligerent iBalkan states, was the first to declare war against Turkey in the war two years ago. Impatient at the delay of iher Balkan allies in declaring war against the Turks she decided to force the issue and hurled herself on her gigantic neighbor. In the war she seized a large strip of Ottoman territory but the great powers, after the suspension of hostilities, took nearly all her conquered territory away from her. "We will get it all back now," laughpd Natrovisco, "and a large slice of fat Austrian lands." AMERICAN DIVORCEE TO BE WAR NURSE Mrs. Clarence Mackay, divorced wife of the American cable millionaire, has offered her services to the French government as a nurse in the present war with Germany. Mrs. Mackay prefers to go to the front and do field hospital work.

Supply of Necessities of Life Remains Undiminished, Say Government Officials, but Dealers Take Advantage of Conflict to Advance Cost. War Situation Enables Stiff Increase in Prices. Interrupted Shipping Is a Factor.

BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The European war and the consequent cutting down of the Imports will not diminish to an appreciable extent the supply of foods in the United States, and any increase of prices will not be justified, government officials announced today. Increase in food prices are looked for by officials of the various departments at Washington, but they say this will be because dealers will take advantage of the war situation to make' larger profits. Chas. J. Brand, chief of the offices of markets of the department of agriculture stated today that the repartment has been advised that food prices throughout the United States are rapidly rising. He added: "Naturally, the dealers are taking advantage of the situation of high excitement and the tension to carry up prices. The first impulse is to believe that such a situation really exists. Upon examination of the figures, however, we find that the United States is well supplied with food. Furthermore on account of the embargo on shipments for export to the coast laid by the railroads, and the shortage of ships to transport our bread and butter beyond the seas, we need have no fear of anything like famine, even though the producers and dealers wish to create such an impression."

"My place in time of danger is beside my husband." That is what Queen Helerra said when she returned to the Quirinal after cutting short a visit with her sister-in-law, Princess Natalie of Montenegro. There is no attempt on the part of the king to disguise the grave situation Italy is facing. The fear now is that with the king's repeated refusal to enter into the great European conflict, war may be declared on Italy by either Austria or Germany, or both.

BAND BOYS HURT WHENJIG BREAKS F. Cooper and P. Van Etten Receive Bruises in Accident Near Economy. Members of Coopers band were injured yesterday when a surrey in which four were driving, gave way. Fenimore 'Cooper and Peter Van lutten were most seriously injured. The band members were in four carriages on their way to Lake Osborne to play for the Old Settlers' picnic. The wheel of Cooper's surrey broke and the vehicle rolled down a bank at the road side. The horse ran away. Cooper's left eye was badly injured although he will not lose his sight. Van Etten's shoulder blade was fractured. Harry Morrison and Edward Hollarn, the other occupants of the surrey, were bruised. The injured men were placed in other carriages and rushed to farm houses where aid was given. It was feared at that time that the injuries were serious. The party returned home today. - . SAVANNAH CROWDS WITNESSED CHASE OF GERMAN VESSEL (BULLETIN.)

some of the principal foods. The Unit ed States annually has on hand 2,521,858,450 worth of these foods. American imports of meat and dairy products amount to only $12,016,000 a year, so small a fraction that its absence was rarely felt. The other great food staple Is wheat. Compared to the annual domestic supply of $588,403,000 this country imports only about $6,447,000 worth annually. This import figure Includes such foreign manufactured breadstuffs as manoa, spaghetti and vermicelli. All hot tea and coffee producing nations are not ndw directly in war. The interruption to shipping is expected to raise the prices on these commodities to a considerable extent. The United States imports $135,604,421 worth of tea and coffee each year. Silk is another import which will be affected largely, especially manufactured silk. In fact the annual supply of silk cloth, thread, and various outputs is said to be almost entirely cut off. Importations of raw silk in addition to that manufactured by our own states, will not be greatly delayed, it is believed here. It is said by officials that the ships of the coast-wise trade are able to handle all this traffic, however. The fact that the American production of $34,028,597 worth of wool far exceeds imports it is considered reassuring by the government.
