NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-Count Von
Bernstorf, the German ambaaaador to
tha United 8 tat fa, returned to hla poat
today on tha steamer Noordam and gave
out one of tha moat authoritative Inter
views yet expressed . here on Germany's
attitude toward tha war. Germany waa
bound to win In the end, he said; It was
fighting because her rauaj waa just, lie
predicted that Americans would come to
regard tha conflict In this light. Italy,
ha believed, would not permit Itself to
take sides against Germany.
"From tha emperor to tha lowest un
killed workman In the fatherland, Ger

frivolous and unwarranted attack of Jeal

Oerman people will fight to a finish and
will be victorious In the end.
"At the outbreak of the war." he con
tinued, "the English cut tha cable to this
neutral country for the sols purpose of
preventing tha truth from coming here.
There waa no excuse for that act except
the desire to deceive 'the people of the

days by two brigades. Von Emmlch was
lightly wounded In tha leg during tha
attack, but did not relinquish command."
Tha ambaaador denied reports that the
German crown prince had been wounded
by an assassin in Berlin. Moreover, he
added, the crown prince never had been
wounded' before Liege, for the simple
reason that he was not at IJege, but In

PARIS. Aug. M.-The following official
announcement was Issued tonight:
'A great battle Is now In progress along
a vast line extending from Mona to the
frontier of Luxemburg. Our troops are In
conjunction with tha British and have as
sumed everywhere the offensive. We are
faced by almost the whole Oerman army,
both active and reserve.
"Tha ground, especially on our rtcht. la
thickly wooded and difficult. The battle
is likely to last several days.
"Tha enormous extent of the front and
the great number of forces Involved
makes It Impossible to follow step by step
tha movements of each of our armies.
We muat await tha result of ths first
phase of the combat before we can form
any conclusion aa to the situation. Other
wise we should be giving to the press di
vergent and contradictory news, since
surh a battle naturally is made up of
actions and reactions which follow and
connect In a continuous manner.
"In Vosges tha general situation deter
mined us to withdraw our troops from
Donon and tha Baales pass. Those points
were no longer of any importance, since
we occupied the fortified line, beginning at
Grand Couronne de Naacy. Luneville Is
occupied by the Germans, and at Namur
the Germans are making great efforts
against ths forts, which resist energeti

Chaudefontalne haa been the scene of

LONDON, Aug. 2 4. (Special Ca
blegram to New York World and
Omaha Bee) Official announcement
of the war's developmentg tonight
made It certain that a great battle Is
going' on between the allies and the
Germane In Belgium, along a front
that extends almost 'from the old
fortified town of Mons, close to the
French frontier In Hainault, to the
fiontler of the Duchy of Luxemburg.
passing through Charlerol and
Namur on the Sembre and Meuso
rivers.
This front Is about 100 miles long
on the. map, the main fighting, how
ever, the dlHpatches Indicate, is be
tween Charlerol and Namur, twentj
miles apart, though the winding of
the Sembre makes the distance by
road twice as far.
Siren n of fiermans.
The German army, sweeping
through Belgium, is fully 200,000
strong, according to estimates made
by correnpondents, and Is preceded
by a great screen of cavalry, reported
to number 70,000.
There are divergent reports of
movements of this great force, some
correspondent saying that the Oer-n-uns
are marching straight to Lille
and others that the objective it
Valenciennes, another fortified
French city, thirty miles aoutheast of
Lille. But apart from these guesses,
there are Indications that the Oer
mans are converging towards the
southeast to the position occupied by
the allies.
Allies Take Offensive.
Namur Is being shelled by the Or-
mans' artillery, and word comes fror,
Paris of sharp fighting at Luttre, a
village north of Charlerol. It Is alsc
announced that the British and
French troops are taking the offen
sive and attacking the advancing
Germans, and reports are current 01
a plan by which the Belgian army
at Antwerp will combine with theli
allies at Namur and cut the German
forces In two.
It may be several days before the
full story of operations will be
known, for the Paris authorities an
nounce that the public must wall
until a decisive result has taken"
place.
Reverse In Lorraine.
In Lorraine It Is evident that the
French have suffered a severe defeat
at the hands of the Germans, for ll I,
is aamutea that Luneville. a fortified
Place ten miles inside the French
border, Is now occupied by the Ger
mans, while the French, presumably
under General Joffre, the commander-in-chief
have alien back on the
ring of forts surrounding Nancy.
This Is a serious reverse, for the Ger
mans at no time before had obtained
such a strong footing In French terri
tory. Luneville la a town of 20.000 In
habitants. Details of the fighting. In
which General Joffre was forced lo re
tire, are still awaited with anxiety In
Paris and hers. The progress of the
French troops Into Lorraine had been ao
swift and easy that tha news of this re
verse has come as a great shock to
Franca,
Holding- Own In Alsare.
In A I -ao there la no newa of any
further fighting; presumably the French
are holding their own there.
From Huaaia and Bervla comes news
of success for , tha allied arms. Ths
Russians hava occupied Insterberg. a
town on the way to the fortress of Koe-
mgberg in eastern rrulssia, and an
Important railroad center. 8t Petersburg
reports that the Germans were over
whelmed at Gumblnnen by the Russian
forces, which captured many guns and
prisoners.
One report tonight says that the Ger.
mans have decided to retire across tho
Vistula, thus abandoning all of eastern
Prussia to the Russians. The Vistula
flows fully 100 miles from the furthest
Russian frontier.
Hueslun Invasion Imnlaeat.
Tha Russians are said to ha,v an Im
mense army concentrated on the invasion
of Prusslu, and the reports of initial sue
cess of their arms has caused great ex
citement In the Russlsn capital. The
German forces In east Prussia are said
to consist of not more than itOO.oOu men
at the outside.
The Servian defeat of the Austrtans on
the Drlna Is confirmed, and It Is said
that the Austrian army, consisting of
nine divisions, waa practically anni
hilated. The Montenegrins have also ad
ministered a severe defeat to the Aus
trian, according to St. Petersburg.

that the Ruaalan left has completely en
veloped the remnants of the Germans,
leaving the lake regfon and the line of the
German retreat toward the Angeranh
river. In Eaat Prussia, and the Masur
lakes In Russian hands, says that the
Russians arc even now sweeping tha en
virons of Insterburg and have occu
pied Darkehmen, and thus the line be
tween Thorn and Pantslc Is now within
the sphere of Russian operations.
"I learn from an authoritative source,"
says the correspondent "that the German
forces engaged lost two-thirds of their
effectives. Unless the Germans are able
to bring up strong reinforcements, which
Is doubtful, owing to ths selxure of the
Important railways and road communica
tions by tha Russians, the later may now
proceed to the Investment of Konigs
berg. "The flight of the inhabitants from
Wlllenberg, ninety-one miles southeast
of Konlgsberg, is variously Interpreted
here. Some of the military writers at
tribute it to the Russian advance on the
Masur lakes; others believe It directly due
to another Russian movement from Po
land toward Allenstein, sixty-five miles
south of Konlgsberg, which, if substan
tiated, threatens serious consequences for
the German forces In northern Prussia."
