that the reluctance of Auatrla to send

LONDON. Aug. ls.-Whlle Japan has
borrowed most of its military science
from K u rope, It tsught the west, in re
turn, the enormous value of secrecy in
warfsre. All the powers engaged In the
European death grapple have learned that
lesaon.
Reports from Belgium say thst ths Her
man prisoners havs no regimental Insig
nia on their uniforms, snd have been In
structed to refuse Information as to what
regiments they are attached. In 1STO. the

alities of all the leading generals were
widely known.
Over all these details, the armies en
gaged In the war theater In western
Europe, except, perhsps. the Belgian, havs
folded a shroud of mystery concerning
the men who will plsy the greatest pa -ts
In the drsms. The public knows slmost
nothing shout th commander-in-chief of
the French i.rmy. Genersl Joseph K. C
Joffre. Joffre Is not sn edvertiaed gen
eral. Even the French people know less
about Mm than almost sny man who ever
guided their military machine.
Matters of Uneaawork.
The present dispositions of tha combat
snt forces, their movements and plans,
sre chiefly matter of guesswork. Ex
perts can only surmise that during the
oppressive darkness of the past fortnight
of mobilisation and of suspense for
Europe, the four great armies of Ger
many, France, Austria and Russia havs
been moving Into positions which those
who havs theorised on the subject have
expected.
The greet mobilisation appesrs to have
proven one fact-that even the Herman
organisation, put to the test under r.i
war conditions, could not move as fast
as expected. The great, swift bsttle on
the French frontier, which was dus last
week, hes not yet begun, so fsr as Is
known, or perhaph It may be beginning
today.
Not evert the Japanese were able to
cover their movements with such a cloud
of secrecy ss the millions of men now
marching, on the grestest scale the world
has ever known
The censorship, which has been drawn
around Europe except for a few outlying
neutral countries. Is chleffy responsible
for ths success of this up-to-date military
secrecy. No telegram, private or for
the newspspers, goes out of any bellig
erent country without passing under the
eye snd the pencil of a keen censor. Ger
many and Austria have almost sealed
the other usual means of communication.
Disease War Mora Freely.
The British newspapers discuss the war
more freely then the continental papers,
but under the Imperative request of the
war office they say nothing of the move
ment of troops or ships. The Qerman
newspapers, aoeordlng to reports, print
only, official news.
The British army council has decided
not to aHow any war correspondents to
accompany the expeditions ry force for
the present. Some passes bad been Is
sued, but these were revoked.
In a letter announcing Its decision, the
council says that the French army offi
cials also have decided not to allow cor
respondents to accompany their forces.
It is understood that correspondents will
be ssked to leave Belgium. Some sre
already returning.
The Russian army will have no corre
spondents. The Herman staff Is known
strongly to disapprove of them.

"These troops are In Imminent danger

Some will wish one nation, others another,
to succeed In the momentous struggle.
"It will be essy to excite passion and

for exciting It will assume a heavy re

whose loyalty to its government unite

and affection to think first of It and Its
Interests, may be divided Into camps of
hostile opinions, hot against each other.

"I venture, therefore, my fellow coun
trymen to speak a solemn word of warn
ing to you against that deepest, most
subtle, most assentisl breach of neutrality
which may spring out of partisanship,
out of passionately taking aides. The
United States must be neutral In fact as
well as in name during these days that
are to try men's souls. We must be I tri
psins! In thought ss well as In action,
must put a curb on our sentiments as
well as on every transaction thst might
be construed as a preference of one party

is, of course, the first In our thoughts
and In our hearts, shoytd show Itself In
this time of peculiar trial a nation fit
beyond others to exhibit the fine poise of
undisturbed Judgment, the dignity of self
control, the efficiency of dispassionate
action, a nation that neither sits in judg

of the world.

Staff correspondent of The London
Daily News, New York World and Omaha
Bee.
BRUSSELS. Aug. 18. (Via London, Spe
cial Cablegram to New York World and
Omaha Bee.)-Our train wss timed to
leave Namur at 8:13 this morning, but at 8
o'clock the trsln had not left. Then came
a piece of news that had vital Interest.
Inntesd of going to Brussels direct, the
train wss run first to Charlerol, In a
direct line west. This could only mean
that the Germans had pustied up towards
Wavre on the direct route, thua the
enemy have reached the main, toad from
Namur to Brussels ana are repeating the
tactics used at Li tie of preeslng round
the north. As usual the Uhlsns hsv been
employed for this business, but so far I
have not heard of much fighting.
Namnr Well Prepared.
The Germans also are pressing round
on the south, but the great cut of the
Meuee and its high cliffs are likely to
hold them, and especially prevent much
cavalry work. Certainly there, whatever
the result, the Germans will lose enor
mously along the Meuee.
Namur Itself Is evidently well prepared
to fight a tremendous bsttle and for the
Germans to surround It while making a
front attack as In the rase of Liege, will
take enormous numbers.
The Germans have, however, drswn off
a llttlo from their northern attack or at
least have concentrated more men be
tween Namur and Louvaln, the headquar
ters of the Belgian field army.
Allies Mast Attack.
By pressing on to Wavre they have
shown their hand and their plan In at
tempting cut the Belgian army In two.
Another thing, obvious also from this
Is that the big battle every one Is expect
ing, will not come from the German side.
It will not come until they are attacked
In force, and to say when or where that
f I will be would be giving away too much
oi tnt position or an armies.
