At a maaa meeting of some 400 Germans at tha Oer man horn yesterday afternoon aa Imme dlata contribution aggregating about fl.000 was made before tha meeting broke up, and subscription lists were taken out by dosens who agreed to circulate them and net large sums of money. No sooner did Chairman Val Peter n nounre that a subscription list would be taken, than August Miller, a laborer of Hoiith Omaha- ateDoed ta tha nlatfnnn and tossed down two tS gold pieces. Im- ' mediately came Jacob Kopp with a cash offer of $3, followed by Anton C. Drel- J bue with a check lor 1100. Fred Buach subscribed .136 and Henry Jiaubens liuu.

Val Pater Presides. Val Peter prrslJed over the meeting. Tha Maennerchor isng a number of se lections. One was tha Bismarck song. "The Germans Ptar God. But None Else." Chairman Val IVter outlined the two fold purpose of the meeting, to protest against what he termed the unfair stand of some ef the American newspapers In the matter of the 'present war "from which readers get only the prejudiced re port of the anti-German belligerents." t-t protest against the Inciting of race batred In this country; and to ratae a fund for the widows and orphans of tho German soldiers. .

Aa a numlr of prominent metroKll tau dailies retnlnd ' the.r renders. War reports must be considered aa news rone ' 'em the enemies of Gel mam , kW4 Itself Is cut off from communication with the outside world. We declare that It Is not only a great wrong, but against tho best Intervals of our adopted country and harmful to civili sation at large that the great Herman empire and its highly rlvilise. people to whom so many of our people are linked by the strongest ti.a of blond, should he held up to the American public as the foes of civilization; as barbarians, who wantonly and without reason or need brought this terrible ar upon themselves and their relghbnr. Wa have a right to expect from our fellow cltl sens and from the preas of thl coun try, for th independence and preserva tion of which hundreds of thousands of our compatriots freely she", their blood, that they withhold th!r judgment until the real facts and undertylng reasons may become known, anil to abstain from hasty condemnation until tho truth that Germany Is not fighting a war of ag gression, but of self preservation, may be established. Wa expect from our tm low citixens that they give tho German people of Europe and their governments tha benefit of the doubt to which they are entitled. We appeal to them to study the question thoroughly, weigh It care fully, and Judge fairly, and to I -ear In mind the historical conjunctures of Rus sia's panslavlstlo policies, of France's cry for revenge for the lost provinces, which wera only recovered by Germany aa rightful German possessions, and of England's Well grounded fear of losing, prestige against Germany's commercial and Industrial ascendency. Even the British cabinet was split on the ques tion of who was the real aggressor. We call attention to the notorious editorial In the London "Haturday Re view" some years ago, boldly stating that England's proseiity could only be se cured by Germany s annihilation: "it Germany were tomorrow wiped oft of the faca of the earth, there would not be tba day after, an Englishman who would t.ot be tha richer for it. The arrowth of the German navy would but welghten the blow England will strike. Its ships will be sunk or taken as English prise. English guns wilt seal German ports until Indemnities are paid, and when our work Is done Knglsnd may say to Frano or Russia, go take what compensation you wish, help yourselves to any part of Germany you like, you can have It. Oermanla esse delendaml Down with Germany." We also recall the wave of anti-German agitation when British Jingoists supported no doubt by Germany'a enemies abroad, or ly three or four years ago, cauaed plays to be enacted on many English stages picturing an Invasion of England by German troopa and committing brutalities in English homes, for th.' pernicious purpose of inciting national and personal hatred. lo not such In cidents recall to the American public England's attitude during the civil war and its covert support of tha confederacy? I nd It not aid the south In every poenlbU way In tha destruction of our merchant n arine then an active competitor In the world's ocean trade from which the United States have paver recovered T And a as not England's principal object pure commercialism, I. a., the protection of Its ioUuii monopoly?

Tens of thousands of Germans fought for the union; is there any record of any number of Englishmen enlisting In the union rauae? You are reminded of what the advent of Panslavlsm would portend to Europe and Ha civilisation. It would mean tha ascendency of aeml-barbarlo Ruasla and lie autocratic rule.

Aug. 10.-(fpeclI Cablegram to New York World and Omaha Be.) Londoners today received the glad tid ings that the captura of Muclhau.cn by the French had been confirmed. The de spatch admits the fighting was 'serious," but Insists that the German losses were three times as great ns those sustained by Frsnce. This first serious engagement between the Germans and French will hava an Immenso moral effect throughout Ger many as well as France. Brussels places the German loss at 30.000 and tha Frcm.h at Ifi.mo, but these figures are not offl clnl. though coming from tha Blg1kn war office. The French artillery demonstrated Its expected guperlorlty. driving tha German guns to retreet whenever a duel oc curred. The Germans followed helr old fashioned mass formations and tha splen did gunnery of the French simply mowed men down like grain standing in tha field. The cournge of tha Germans, how ever, was superb. Though shot through and through, time after time, tha lines never wavered until ordered to retreat. City of Meae Taken. News about Liege Is conflicting. Re ports said to be emanating from a Ger man press bureau at Rotterdam, have been received telling of the fall of Liege, but It seems from Ister direct messages that the forts still aro In Belgian hands and that the Germans have simply made a detour and taken the city. It .elf, which Is apart from the fortifications. All messages coming from Rotterdam seem to he colored to show Germsn advantage, which does not exist. Official news from Liege received here says that the Junction of French and Bel gian armies has been made successfully and tha position of defenders of tha city Immeasurably bettered. Italy is again threatening Austria. It Is said that Italy has) been warned that Austria will Invade Its provinces If Italy does not come to the aid of Austria and Germany at once. Italy has reiterated Its neutrality and will remain firm In Its refusal to Join Its ancient enemy and erstwhile ally. Mast Stay eatral. Private advloes received by The World'g correspondent at Rome and cabled here state that Italy haa no other course open than to remain neutral, aa tha populace Is determined to take up the cudgels for Scrvla and not Austria and that all the governmental agreements' In tna world would not change tha sentiment of the army. Tha reason that Austria 'has not declared war against England Is that Austria wants England to declare war first so that It can call on Italy under tha Triple Alliance aa a country on tha defensive.

The same authority states tniit tho German assertion of the capture of four thousand Belgian prisoners is baseless and adds that not a single Belgian soldier remains in thj town of Liege, as they are nil quartered n the forts. As far as can be learned by the Belgian guneral staff some 120,000 German troops were engaged at Llegr. They arc said to have been so weakened as to bo un able, effectively to attack tho forts. On the other hand It is argued that it is not possible, for the forts to conccn'rate their fire on the town of Liege itiiclf.
