While the mf" W°'° ”“"“‘“I“8 and lakins farewell er their friends the band plsyen suitable selections, and everywhere words of encouragement were exchanged General remark was passed on the fine physique of the volumeem and indeed' they were as "ne setup and BUINIY 9. lot as could have been picked. After the Ali-RWOIP-But-N°t-Goodbye lnrtins hymn, Goa ne with von 'rin we Meet Again, had been played by the band and whistled by the Volunteers, mme hearty cheers were given for the Island Death or Glory Boys. As the train passed slowly out of the station the baud played the National Antllem, and then there were three final volleys of clleers to which the Volunteers vocifer- ously responded.
And thus went forth Prince Edward lsland‘s First Detachment of Brave and
Patriotic Sons to Fight for King and Country in the most historic war since the world began. .'
THE lSLAND’S ROLL OF HONOR
Thc patriotic spirit which has bocll spontaneously aroused in support of
the Motller Country ill hcr present grcut struggle is as strong aild active in Prince Edward Island as anywhere else in our great Empire and thc call to arms that has been sounded- In the Donlinion for the assistance of the Mother Country has on this, as on previous occasions, found the loyni Islanders true to the flag that gives them freedom and security slid ready to give of their best in blood and material possessions to maintain the honor and the might of Empire.
With worthy sacrifice families ull over the Province have given up sons
and even husbands for tho service with the contingent which Cullada is send- ing £0 England s uid in the European War. Up to date since thc outbreak of war no fewer than rougllly 250 loyal Islalld lads have left the shores of the
province to do the Empire's work. Half-a-hundred are at Canso, a similar'
number are at Sydney, alld more than a half hundred are doing the humani- tarian duties of ambulance men at Val Cartier Camp. And with even more glory than these there are another half-hundred who have volunteered their services with the arnly in Europe. The majority of these have already left for Val Cartier Camp, where thc entire contingent is being assembled; only the Artillery detachment rcnlnining in Charlottetown. The call for tllcm to go to Val Cartier is, however, expected at any moment.
Those wllo have volunteered for European service and have already left
the Island are as follows

PARIS, August 20-The re-occupa-
L°ca“y tm’ l"'i“cip“l event yester' tion_of Mulhausen in Alsace by the day was the departure 0! the first French troops is new officially an-i
mixed detachment of volunteers for thc nounced. The recalllllfe Of MIIIIIHUSBYI,
.
_ was preceded by a severe battle in'
hom' The men mu by the first trail' which the French troops took one of:
for Summerside, and had alnagnificent the suburbs at the point of the bay
send off at the railway station.
Early.news cablcgrams were not
so satisfactory as on previous days. They showed that the Belgian line had been established between Brus- sels alld Antwerp with the headquar- ters of the Allies facing Waterloo. Tile German infantry and cavalry un- der cover of the artillery had reached between sevellty .lniles of the capit- al, and a battle of huge proportions was in progress. Tile Belgian back- ward movclnent was said to be strate- glczll with a vicw to leading the Gor- lnans gradually to thc position takcn up by the Allies for the great battle.
Official news from Paris stated that
the Gerlnans, baullied in their endeav- our to break through the lines of the Allies to the southward, suddenly changed their plans, and finding on opening to the north penetrated the lillcs in tllat direction, necessitating the change ill thc strategy oil botll sides. A rumor tllat Brussels had follcn was not officially confirmed.
Complete contradiction was given to
the report rcccivcd thc previous day fronl Berlin tllat the Russians had been defeated in east Prussia. ' lt now appears the Czar’s force was vic- torious, and captured 12 German guns
besides it large numbcr of prisoners.
'Ihe British Embassy cabled an cx-
cellent summary of the events ill the war up to yesterday, i'l'oln which rcs.- ders will obtain rt thoroughly rcliablc grasp of the situtution.
(Special to the Guardian)
WASHINGTON, August 20.-The
British embassy here today received from its foreign office the following summary of the naval and military situtatioll to date:
Since thc declaration of war the
fleet has been responsible for the safety of an expeditionary force which completed disembarkatlon in France on August 18th., in perfect order and without casulty. ' The work of the navy on the, Atlantic and elsewhere in safeguarding the trade routes is best cxempllfied by "‘” f'sf“` that YPstf~.rilay all I.loyd’s, war risk fell to 40 shillings per cent for _...lost any voyages ol British vessels, whereas, the rate to ensure frcights oil corn paid by steamers froln the United States to British ports is 30 shillings per cent. Tile German fleet 'ultaide of the Baltic is confined in harbors. English commerce is almost nuililai. Gelnlnn sea commerce is paralyzed. _'l‘heonly casualty was the loss of the light cruiser Amphion, blown up by a mine after sinking tho German mine-laycr Koenigen Luiz. One German submarine was sunk in the North Sea. ` The military position is as follows:
German forces extend from Basie through Licgo to a point in Belgium east of Alitwcrp near the Dutch fron- tier. Tllc outstanding features of the campaign to the present have been the rlclay to the contemplated Ger- man movclncnts across Meuse by the defence of Liege where the forts are still intact. German troops have now crossed the Meuse both above and rie- low Liege, gaining grollnd slowly west- ward. The advance of their cavalry has been continually checked by the Belglans. To tho south, where the German army is apparently on the defensive, the French are advancing in a long line into Alsace and Lorr- aine, a great extent of which they now occupy after di-lvfnil the Germans back
onet. They also took six German cannons and six ammunition wnggons. The situtation -in Vosges mountains is unchanged. In Lorraine the French line extends from north Sarburg pass- ing by Morhztrige to Delmene. The situtiltion in the Duchy of Luxemburg and Belgium is unchanged.
iSpecial to the Guardian)
LONDON, August 20-~’1‘he following
info:-luatlun is oi’ficir.liy given out to- night: _
The Bclginn field army, confronted
by superior numbers, has fallen back. The Belgian troops admirably per- formed their duty in delaying the hos- tilc azlvancc and enabling thc allies to complete concclltration.
GERMA.\lY’S ADVANCE.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 20.-The Belgian
main line is now reported to be es- talrlished between Brussels and Ant- werp with headquarters oi the allied army fronting on roads near Water- loo. ’l`he German advance is slow. Their infantry is cntrenching every step of thc way. It is reported _the German advance suffered a reverse to- day. L
BRUSSELS THREATENED. . .
Dlsregarding losses the German
lincs advanced so fur that Louvaln and Brussels are being threatened and one report says these places have been cvaculated by the Bclgians. Details of the battle are supresscd hut it is known that the Germans are advanc- ing on Brussels. The Belgian forces are said to have retreated to the north and west to defend- Antwerp to the last. All comnlunications with thc Belgian Capital is now cut oft' by thc Germans.
¢f
THE. BATTLE IN PROGRESS.
LONDON, Aug. 20.- At last there
is definite news from thc front, in Belgium. The Kaisel"s Legions are being llurlcd in full force against the allies lines of defence north, east and south of Brussels. The attack which began last night started at Tlulemont, twenty-nine miles east. southeast from the Belgian Capital and tho quarters at Louvain, eighteen miles cast and northeast from Brus- sels, and at Dinant, twenty miles south of Namur on the Meuse. The Germans began their advance at Tirle mont with heavy artillery under cov- or of which their infantry moved from their entrenchinent to mcct Belgian. A fierce hand to hand coll- flict ensued then, the immediate rc- sult of which the Belgian War Ofllcc announces, was that the Germans were hurled back. A despatch to the London Times from Belgium that ex- act orlgln of which has been struck out by the censor says. the Germans continue to push forward patrols in- to that part of the country where the allies army is ready to receive them. The damage to the German detach- ments is inveriably great. German scouting parties have been seen all around Namur, and the forts at Mai- sent and Dave were engaged for the better part _of the day, the former particularly exacting heavy toll of the invaders.
