SUMMARY 0F THE SITUATION

Saturday's war news referred maln- ly to operations on the continent. The stubborn resistance ofiered by the Belgians and the terrible punish- ment they are inflicting upon the ilermans continued to he the out- standing feature of the war. The Germans asked for a 24 hours arm- istiee to bury their dead, which by official German reports numbered 25,000. See later details of Wednes- day's battle in this issue.

German diplomats ‘are still trying

_ to induce the King of Italy t0 take a

stand on the side of Germany but_be has refused finally.

Lloyd George, in the House of Commons“ Friday night, declared that the financial position of the

country was perfectly satisfactory; no gold was being boarded and trade was resuming its normal condition.

A Bavarian Corps was defeated by the French near North Luxemburg.

flermun merchant craft are being seized by British and French ships and iii the harbors of the United Kingdom and lfrancc at such a. rate that it is confidently predicted that very shortly uernfiau commerce will "no driven oil the sea.

New York harbor is being closely watched and many ships are being de- tained, It is now believed that, ow- ing to this detention, 56,000 Ameri- can (lernians will be prevented from joining their army at home.

In (‘anada an Imperial Government order was received accepting the offer of Mr. Ilumilton Gnult, of Montreal, to equip a regiment of 1,000 men, all having seen active service. This will he over and above the Cauadiaircon- tlngent 0f 20,000 man. Canadians have responded nobly to the request for volunteers, more than twice the number having already been enrolled.

f’p to late Saturday night there was nu confirmation of the persistent report that a battle is IILPFOKTCBB in the North Sea.

I000 (‘isnadiana are stranded in Glasgow by the cancelling of steamer

sailings. Later on Saturday night, many tcl-

egrams were received giving further details of the land operations on the continent. It “as reported iu a New York telegram that. Liege was in flames, but this is not credited. A report Sunday morning that Liege had been captured by the Germans was followed a few hours later by a report that the Belgians had recap- turedit.

l-larly this morning came a report with reference to the siege and alleg- ed capture of Liege from which it would appear that the city has sur- rendered, that the forts are still in possession of the Belgians and the Germans are in a cul-de-sac.

Germany's anxiety to secure the co- operation of Italy is shown by the fact that she ofiercd to give the lat- tor French Algeria and the Belgian ("ongo as spoils of war if she would take up arms to fight with Austria and Germany against the Triple En- tente.

It is significant that the British In.

surance offices have reduced their war irislrs from 5} to 4 1-5 and that the Bank of England has reduced its rate of interest to 5 per cent. ‘A suggestion has Germany to England that German subjects in Pingland and British sub- jects in Germany be exchanged and it is being considered by the Under Sec- retary for Foreign Affairs.

A British force on the Gold (‘oust

dam-o'- ninincneloum Itllclllmtllln

of West Africa seized l‘ort Lorne in German 'l‘ogoland.

French troops entered Alsace and ‘captured the village of Altkirch and ‘later, the city of Mulhausea, with a German loss of 45,000.

Austria is preparing to send two army corpsito acsistethe Germans at the French frontier. The Austrian- Hungarian forces operatin! against “Servfa are to remain intact, but ol- flclai reports say that there is not an Austrian soldier la Scrvla and that the Sorvlans have crossed the frontieninto Bosnia. Austrian troops have evacuated an important town on the border which is now occupied by

Servlaas.
