SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1Z HOW GERMAN INVASION SPREAD OUT LIKE HUGE FAN IN BELGIUM, FRANCE Heavily Censored Story Gives German Point of View. French Scattered in Great Disorder, Leaving Dead Unburied, Says Account London, 7 a. m.—A correspondent of The Associated Press who has been through Belgium, sends from Rotter dam this story, heavily censored throughout but apparently an account of the invasion of Belgium obtained from a German point of view: “From Brussels the German army poured over southern Belgium into France like a flood tide, spreading like a fan in the directions of Beau mont, Maubeuge, Mens and Lille, joining in the south of Belgium with other army corps proceeding from Gembloux, Dinent and Givet. “Then went over the French border without serious resistance, the French scattering before them in great dis order, leaving behind much war ma terial, their retreat extending as far as the forest of Mormal in northern * ranee. 50,000 Loss. J “Several rear guard actions occur red, resulting in considerable losses to both sides and bringing up the losses of the Germans in Belgium to about 50,000. “From the Binche country south ward in the direction of Maubeuge in numerable skirmishes occurred from August 23rd to August 26th. The French retreated to Bonne Esperante, where after another skirmish they fell back through Merbes, Saint Marie and Merbes-le-Chateau, 10,000 English retiring to Joumount at the same time. “Engagements in the vicinity of Buissierre and Thuin constituted the most determined resistance offered by the allies. After two days continu ous artillery duel, which swept the surrounding country and demolished almost every structure the entire right wing of the allies withdrew fay to the southward. This gave the Germans an opportunity to sweep through Beaumont and approach Maubeuge from the south. DEMONSTRABLY FALSE, SAY * mm Statement Made at Embassy in Washington Regarding Stories Emanating From Ger man Sources Washington, D. C.—German statements that snipers had been organized by the French two months before the war. were denounced last nlprht at the French em bassy as ‘demonstratably false.” Sev eral other German statements were de nied in the statement, which said: “The news from Berlin yesterday an nounced that Maubeuge had been taken with four generals. 400 guns 40,000 men. The capture remains unconfirmed. Forty thousand men could not in any case have been made prisoners for the gar rison is less than 20,000. Alleged Bomb Dropping. “The alleged numbers are on a par with the news of the French aeroplane having dropped bombs on Nuremburg. and with that of snipers having been organized ‘two months before the war.* If they had been, some trace of them would probably hve been found since, and none his. The truth is that neither before nor after Germany declared war on France was any such corps organized. And since every Frenchman able to bear arms is called, as a regular, to the col ors. one can scarcely imagine what those crop* would have been made of. It It False. “The statement is -cmonstratably false.” The embassy has been notified by the French government in response to an inquiry about the destruction of historic buildings in Louvain that, while the Ho tel De Ville was not destroyed by fire, the scaffolding surorunding the building for purpose of repair was burned.

The English and French were on August 23rd driven across the Sambre River, where on the south bank of the river in a 30 miles front fighting continued for three days. “The correspondent first saw actual firing in the direction of Maubeuge on August 26th when white puffs of the German shrapnel clouded the horizon, but the forward movement of the Ger man columns was so fast that when the correspondent reached the scene of the recent engagement, the firing line had advanced fully ten miles southward. Left Unburied. "The German wounded were imme diately cared for and the dead buried as fast as the army continued on the march while the French dead were left unburied and the wounded in some cases, remained on the battle field for three days before receiving attention. “A large proportion of them died from lack of prompt attention. No cases were observed where French medical men were left behind to take care of their wounded. The German medical corps was fully occupied with treatment of its own wounded, and was hastened onward by forced marches. “Cemeteries with unfinished graves gave mute evidence of a hurried French retreat. “I saw a duel between French and German aeroplanes, both of which were disabled in a hard battle. After careening downward in giant circles the two machines plunged to the earth almost side by side and were com pletely shattered while the aviators v/ere instantly killed.” SLUGGING OF BIG LEAGUERS Chicago.—Ty Cobb is within four points of a tie for the batting leader ship of the American League hut three hard hitters are ahead of him and it will take a brisk spurt by the Detroit star to regain the championship.

Worsham, State Entomologist, Talks of “Dixafifi,” Cotton Which is Grown in Franklin, Hart, Jackson, Banks, Madison and Clark Counties Atlanta.—“ Cotton is being sold in Georgia today at 14c per pound,’* is the interesting statement made by Dr. E. L. Worsham, state entomologist, m the course of an interview ut the state eapitol on Saturday. Or. Worsham explains that the cot toi. which is bringing this wonderful price is the breed known as Dixafifi Long Staple, which has been devel oped by the state department of ento mology. In speaking o fthis attractive grade of cotton. Dr. Worsham said: “Dixafifi is the name which we havo given to the long staple cotton which we have developed, and which is being wn with success in northeast Geor gia, Franklin, Hurt, Jackson. Banks Madison and Clark counties. This cot ton has a lint which measures from one and one-fourth to one and one-half inches long, whereas the short staplo cotton, which is so commonly grown, measures only three-fourths to seven eights of an inch. “This long staple cotton ran be grown anywhere in the cotton belt and Is certainly the coming variety to he grown in this state. There is not enough of it grown in the United States to supply the demnud and thou TODAY’S WAR CONDENSED The French war office at 3 o'clock this afternoon (Paris time) said that the Germans in France were retreating generally und offering only a feeble re sistance. A British official announcement says that British troops crossed the River Ourcq and are pursuing the Germun right wing whose retreat is rapid. It is declared that the third French army had captured all the artillery of one Ger man corpß. Tlie latest official German report said their forces had captured a fortress southwest of Verdun and news despatches indicate a. purpose on I in- part of the German general staff to Hurround and cut off from the line of the allies tile strongly fortified city of Verdun. News despatches indicate that the Russians have not overwhelmed the Austrians in Galicia as had been claimed. Fresh and stubborn fighting in that Austrian province Is reported and tills has given rise to the specula lion that the mum corps brought from the west may have been thrown in Aus tria to support tlu* Austrians instead of proceeding to East Prussia to rein force the Germans already there. The situation in East Prussia Is in doubt hut there is nothing to indicate that the Russians have made any not able advance west since their reversal at Allenateln. They were last report ed attacking Koenigsberg while the Ger man troops were said to be moving to ward that stronghold. Advices received by the French embassy al Washington tell of Hie re tirement of tlie German center east of Paris lint these obviously ref.r to right ing of yesterday or earlier, tlie detail h of which were made known In official dispatches from Paris last nig lit. A despatch from Rome sayH that Pope Benedict has charged the foreign cardinals to urge their governments to cease hostilities and convoke a peace conference. A despatch from Potrograd says that tlie Servians are continuing success fully their offensive operations against Austria. RUSSIAN CAVALRYMEN MET DEATH BY DRINKING WATER POISONED BY PEASANTS Petrograd, (via London, 2:50 a.m.) —How n large squad of Russian covalrymen met death from drinking poisoned water given them by a German peasant near Konlgsberg is described by the Mohcow correspon dent of the KJetsch. The cavalry were riding from Irterberg over rough roads and In ln tonse heat. At a small village they asked a peasant for a drink and short ly after drinking nearly 100 men were attacked with spasms. Four troopers returned and demanded that the peasant drink some of the same water. When lie refused they turned him over to their officers for courtmartial. Recalls the Napoleonic Times When Wounded Heroes Promoted on Field Limoges, France ("la Bordeaux) —On a train loaded with wounded which passed here today was a young French officer, Albert Palaphy, whose un usual bravery on the field of battle won for him the l.cglon of Homs-. As u corporal of the Tenth Dragoons at the beginning of the war t'nlu phy took port In the fighting with the Germans. In the thick of the Du ll ln the cavalryman, finding Ids colonel wounded and helpless, rushed to Ids aid. He hoisted the injured man on his shoulders and under a rain of machine gun bullets, carried him safely to the French lines. -Palaphy was promoted to he a sergeant. Shortly afterwards, although wounded, he led a charge of his squad against the Baden Guards, whose standard lie himself captured with a bullet wound In Ids abdomen and covered with lance thrusts, lie was removed from the battlefield during the night and learned that he had been promoted to tie a sub-lieutenant and nominated Chevalier iri the Legion of HomW. This Incident of decorating a soldier on the battlefield recalls Napoleonic tiroes. • •> POPE URGING PEACE. Rome, via London, 6:18 a. m. -The Trlhtina says Pope Benedict has entrusted to the foreign cardinals the task of confidentially urging their governments to cease hostilities.

U. S. TO JOIN PROTEST TO TURKEY Great Powers Present Iden tical Note Against Decree of Porte Abolishing Treaty Rights Constantinople, via London, 12:48 p. m. The ambassadors of the great powers have presented an Identical note to the Turkish grand vizier pro testing ngnlriat- Ihe decree of the Porte abolishing the treaty rights ac corded foreigners In the past. U. 8. to Join. Washington The United States probably will Join the protest of the powers against Turkey’s abrogation of the capitulations, which granted foreigners extra territorial rights and otherwise restricted the sovereignty of the Ottoman empire. This was predicted today by administration < ffleals, although no definite couse of action lias finally been decided on. The disposition of the Washington sands of hales are imported from Egypt and with that grown in this country is used to make the fln.*r grades of dress goods. “Too, this long staple cotton has a wonderful cotton seed and produces from ten to fifteen gallons more of cot ton seed oil per ton than the average cotton seeds. The happiest man in Georgia today is a friend of mine in middle Georgia who lias ready for the •market 350 bales of this long staplo cotton. T am informed that the price is 14c per pound, and due to conditions will soon Increase. This cotton Is also of the resist cut variety, hardy and most prolific. I cosider it one of the most wonderful breeds tlu* department has ever been instrumental in developing and will prove the salvation in years to come of the cotton growing states.” The cotton planters throughout the state are realizing that the only cash market there is available for their cotton porducts is tlie cotton seed, which (lie oil mills are buying and more often than not giving in ex change cotton seed meal and hulls, which the planters are using for feed ing cattle, for which there is such a great and growing demand. goverment was to await the Initiative of the Euroia-an powers, following the traditional policy of the United States In that regard.

Twofold. Officials said the reasons which prohuhly lead the American govern lean government to protest ultimate ly were twofold first, Americans had Invested considerable sums In Turkey because of special privileges and pro tection afforded them under the capit ulations; and second, the removal of the extra territorial rights 'might les sen the personal security of American missionaries.
