Daily YEAR 81 NO, 183 -- ---- "THE ALLIED ARMIES ARE THE GREATER And Should Drive Back the Germans Within Her Own Borders and Keep Them There. financial And Economic Experts Say the War Can- not Possibly Last Longer Than Six Months ---The Positions of the French and German Armies. London, Aug. 12.--Putting all reports together, the London Times' military expert to-day estimates the combatant strength of Germany's army now fighting its "way into France in one great line from Switzerland near- Iv 16 the North Sea, as at least one "million men, with 783.000 rifles, 65,000 cavalry, 4,416 guns and howitzers, and 1,488 machine guns. The allied armies of French, Belginm and Britain are of greater strength, however, and, according to thé Times, there's no reason why they should not vietorious- ly drivé the enemy back eventually within her own bor- ders, to keep her going for one vear. Some of the latest refugees from Birlin say that food] riots have already occurred in several cities of Germany. Some commanders here say the war may last three vears, but financial and economic experts declare it cun- uot possibly be more than six months, Into the Jaws of Death. New York, Aug. 12--The Tribune publishes a des- pateh from Holland with a graphic story of the fighting at Liege, given by a German prisoner, who said: ** As we pressed forward, our ranks became thinner and thinner. Shells burst among us, killing and wounding, and such wounds were far worse than death itself, while the rifle fire of the Belgians mowed down our men in dozens, ' scores, hundreds. Our officers, reckioss in th@F Lavery, | led us, urged a8; #HFouraged us to throw away our lives, We marched straight towards the mouths of the hostile artillery. It was magnificent, but not war. If we broke and ran, it was because a further advance into the jaws of death was a sheer impossibility.) We were required to hurl ourselves repeatedly at lines that seemed unbreak- able." German Advance Checked. Paris, Aug. 12.--The German army of the Moselle is striking at the gap in the French fortifications north of Verdun. It has been checked at Longwy, where severe fighting has taken place, and at several points on the Bel- gium-Luxemberg frontier in that vieinity. It is believed here that this movement is planned to . divert attention from the operations of the army now moving westward in Belgian territory, and which is aimed at Lille. The whereabouts of the French army, which will at- tempt to drive back this invasion. is kept secret at the war office. However, it is admitted there that serious fighting near Stenay can shortly be looked for. The exact position of the French army of invasion that was forced to evactiate Mulhausen is not revealed. The Germans brought into action here their new Krupp guns, according to unofficial statements from army offic lals, . These guns wrought havoc in the French lines, hav- ing much longer range than had been believed possible, but it is also claimed that the German markmanship was poor. The French artillery was used to advantage and under eover of the guns, French cavalry charged in foree. Fighting was still in progress, according to last advices. Intervention Not Welcome. Londen, Aug. 12.--Proposed intervention by Japan in the present war, even though against Germany, would not be entirely welcome herve. It is pointed out that too much aggressiveness on the part of England's oriental ally might lead to a juisunderstanding with the United States, which might injure rather thau help Britain's cause in Europe and Anicrica. The First Great Battle. Loudon, Aug. 12.--The first great battle of the war is believed to be in progress. The German developing movement direct against the Belgian center and design- ed to give a elear passage to: Lille, began with a forward cavalry movement. 3 While General Von Emmich's three corps continued the investinent of Liege, trving to reduce the fortifica- tions by means of heavy siege guns, another German army crossed the Meuse river near Tongres, and is ad- vaneing towards Waterloo and Brussels. This army is believed to bé attempting to pass to the northward of Namur and to trap the British now there between the two German apmies, one operating from #e north and -another operating through Belgian Luxemburg. The French war office, in admitting the opening of the battle, says the Germans are attacking Tirlemont, 25 miles east of Brussels. It says the Belgians are re- NEW HAVEN koan) {t 1s To Dissolve by New Agreement. ~The New President. 2.--~An ween the Ya¥ New ilrond company New York, Aug. | has been reached bet ernment and the New ven & Hartiord ra the peaceful dissolution of the Haven system, fccording an nouncement aiter a meeting road's directors yesterday.
