-A dispatch received here from
Ofitend says the GermanB have oc
copied Lille, Roubaix and Valen
ciennes, all In France.
, The towns of Roubaix, Jjlllo and Valen
ciennes are close to the Belgian frontier,
Lille and Vallenclennes being ten mile
from the line and Koubalx five. Roubaix
is flvrt miles northeast of 1-IHe and Val
rneicnes is thirty mils. southeast of the
came city.
' Lillo is the most important from a
military point of view. It is a fortress of
the fli f class and the circle of its forts
Is thirty miles. Recent dispatches from
Paris said Lille was held by French re
servists. Roubaix would appear not to be
fortified. It is a manufacturing center.
Valenciennes aleo'ls a manufacturing
city and is an important military point.
11 has an arsenal and extensive barrack
Deelde Kot to Fight.
The Ostend correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Express In a dispatch published
In London - this morning quoted a Bel
gian officer to the effect thst it had been
decided last Monday not to defend Lille
and that on Tuesday the mayor published
a proclamation announcing the evacua
tion of the French troops and the trans
formation of the town into an undefended
place.
'All the gendarmes were disarmed and
steps were taken to deliver the city .with
tl its rich factories up to the Germans,"
this officer declared. "Tuesday evening
all the available treasure wis removed."
French War Office Silent.
PARIS, Aug. 21.-01:1.1 a. m.) No official-communication
concerning the prog
ress of the war has been issued thle
morning up to 10:45.
The lack of news was generally at
tributed to the supposed inaction of the
Germans, who were thought to have been
too hard hit to sustain a general advance.
The French take their check in Belgium
quietly and seem to have gained confi
' dence by the reinforcement of the min
istry, as announced last night, as well
aa the strong stand taken by the French
forces in Lorraine.
' Aeroplanes Mfiil to Artillery.
LONDON. Aug. 27. (11:3 a, m.) Refur
gees from the scene of the fighting around
Mons report that airmen took a prominent
part in directing the German artillery,
says the Times correspondent In Paris.
Aeroplanes hovered over the British po
sition and their pilots signalled the Ger
man batteries by means of a disk swung
at the end of a line.

A nutria's Act Cansesi Sarprlse.
The'ncwa of toe declaration of war by
Austria-Hungary on Japan following1 the
of flcial announcement of the disarming of
l" Austrian cruiser Kalserm fciizaoetn in
the Prt Tsing Tau caused surprise in
Toklo. It had been hoped here that
Austria-Hungary, having but small in
terests in the far east, would not force a
breuch of relations with Japan, especially
as Austrla-Huiignry always has been re
garded as friendly to Japan. Baron
Mueller de Fzentgyorgy, the Austrian am.
bassador. and the members of hla staff
always havo been popular here.
The censoring of news from China is
most effective. It Is believed here, how
evor, that Japan has not yet landed,
troops at Klao Chow. Jlie German leased
territory In China, ngtfinst which It has
begun military operations. There is rea
son to believe that the Japanese navy is
carefully sweeping the waters around
Klao Chow for mines, which it Is known
have been submerged recently in. large
numbers.
Assurances have been received here
from Teking that President Yuan Fhl Kai
and his government are amply satisfied
with Japan's pledge's concerning the fu
ture safeguarding of Chinese and British
Interests and the maintenance of the com
mercial status quo, and Its promise of
assistance to prevent Chinese revolu
tionists from seizing this occasion to
create disorder.
The feellnn prevails here that the Jap
anese authorities mill be able to control
the principal revolutionary leaders op
posed to the president of China. Dr. 'Hun
Yat Sen, who is at present living . at
Toklo. is the best known of these lead
ers. He is credited with saying that he Is
satisfied to await the outcome of the
present situation. He does not believe
that an outbreak at the present time
would be of assistance to the real China.
Reporta from Vienna yesterday slated
that It had been announced there that the
Austrian government, on Tuesday, had
handed passports to the Japanese ambaa

latter country's declaration of war against

War Summary
The Germans have occupied the
French cities of Lille, Valencien
nes and Roubaix, according to a
dispatch from OMend, Belgium,
which paRKcd through the hands
of the censor at London. All
three cities are situated within a
few miles of the Belgian frontier
and Lille Is strongly fortified.
Valenciennes is a military station
of less importance, while Kottalx
is known chiefly as a manufac
turing center.
ICxact knowledge of the import
ance of this movement awaits of
ficial information. Karlier dis
patches from Ostend quoted a
Belgian officer as authority for
the statement that the allies had
decided not to defend Lille and
that Its evacuation by the French
troops was announced by the
mayor Tuesday.
A wireloss dispatch direct from
Berlin yewterday brought the offi
cial announcement -that all the
forta at Namur had fallen before
tho Germans, ho had also cap
tured Lohgwy. The army of the
crown prince, It was added, had
repulsed a French attack and up
per Alsace waa free of the enemy
except at points westward of Kol
mar. The Belgian operations were as
serted to have been completely
successful in an official statement
that come from Antwerp by way
of Paris a little after midnight.
Four Belgian divisions from Na
mur were said to have stopped the
southward movement of tho Ger
mans Fourth division, after
which the Belgians retired on the
French line. The fort at Namuf
were still holding out, It was declared-
This claim regarding the
Namur fortifications was repeated
later by an English correspondent
at Ostend, who quoted a Belgian
officer who had arived from Na
mur. He said that the Germans
have destroyed two forts an1
were still assaulting the others.
It Is officially announced at St.
Petersburg that the Russian ad
vance in Prussia Ss proceeding
with Irresistible fores. t has be
fore been stated that the objec
tive point of the main Russian
army for the present Is Poisen.
The Germans are represented aa
having retired to Osterode in
East Prussia.
Diplomatic relations between
Austria and Japan apparently
have been formally severed. A
dispatch direct from Tokio 6tates
that , the v Austrian ambassador,
Barou Muller fizentgyorgy, has
been recalled. A blockade of the
leased territory of Klao Chow has
been declared by the Japanese,
whose warships shelled a small
island off the coast.
Keen Interest continues In the
attitude that Italy will eventually
assume. A Rome correspondent
of the London Times says that
Germany and Austria are bring
ing great pressure to bear offer
ing Italy Inducements to join
them. Newspaper dispatches
represent the Italian people as
more favorable to a war against
Austria. It is to be noted, how
ever, that these reports lack of
ficial confirmation.
A dispatch from Kraguyevatz,
Servla. says that the Austrian
army has evacuated the Fanjak
province of Novipazar.

j According to all accounts, the

the rapidity of the Russian cavalry
movements and the dash through
