Suiiiiiiarj of the War Situation
There is good reason to bellvo that
a serious engagement, in which the
German advance is opposed by troops
01 ueigium and France, has been go
ing on since Monday, south of Brus
sels. No definite news of tho progress
of this encounter, however, has been
received.
An olllclal communication from the
Russian general staff at St Peters
burg says tho Rubsian mobilization is
now completed and that eleven mem
bers of the Russian imperial family
are at the front.
It Is rumored porslstontly at Tho
Hague that the German crown prince
Frederkk William, has been seriously
wounded at tha front and that Emperor
William has hastened to tho sido of
his son, who Is said to bo at Aix La
Chappelle.

The Servian preniler Is authority
for the1 statement that Austrian forces
have suffered a serious defeat on tho
Servian line. He telegraphs London
that fifteen thousand Austrlans have

they-fled in disorder. The Servians
captured fourteen Austrian guns.
Two German cruisers, evidently ser

A Matter of Judgment
Deacon Jones' goat was king of Jonesville until the railroad
came. He had butted everything into immediate flight, ffomthe
yellow dog to the tax collector. The day the first express came
tearing in at thirty miles an hour, the goat met the engine "half
way.' As the deacon stood thoughtfully amid a "shower of goat
remnants',' a friend said: "Well, deacon, whut do you think of your
goat now?' "Oh" said the deacon, "I admire his courage but
damn his judgment."

German armies. Then he went to
sleep again. When he arose troops
had been on the march for two hours,
in accordance with the orders ln that
drawer.
Tho German ambashador at St, Pe
