Paris, Aug. 15, 5:15 p. m.—Condi-
tions under which the great battle be-
tween rthe Germans and the allied
forces probably will be fought are
made the subject of an official com-
munication issued by t^e French Min-
ister of War today. By its develop-
ment and the nature of the ground
over which the batt’e will be waged
the communication says, this vast en-

“By reason of the abandonment of
the attack which the Germans planned

London Aug. 10. — The advance
guards of the French and German
armies are now fighting in Belgium
and the news of a sharp artillery duel
at Dinant, on the Meuse, fifteen
miles to the south of Namur, indicates
that the great battle, upon the result
o ' wkich hangs the destiny of Europe,
is under way. ■
The German cavalry, which made a
reconnaissance in force from Vise into
Be’gium Limburg and were defated at
Haelen, are now apparently to the
south of Tirelemont, engaged with the
Belgian left wing. The fighting also

LONG BATTLE LTNE
“When two adversaries engage in a
battle along a front of from thirteen
tc twenty miles the engagement is
characterized by two features—it is
rapid and immediately decisive. With a
front extending over 266 miles ft is
not likely to be the same.
“It jvould appear impossible from
all the evidence that one of the ad-
versaries would be able to gain an
early decisive advantage on this front

ed, destroyed some of them. The
French air scouts are strking terror
into the hearts of the German avia-

are reaping the reward of the sacri-
fices of her sons made as pioneers in
aviation.
The Times, which issued a war ex-
tra this, afternoon, says the German
schemes for the invasion of France
have completely miscarried. The
French army is mobolized to the high-
est pitch of efficiency and the great
armies which are to decide the fate-
ful battle are meeting at various
points, with the balance in favor of
the allied armies.
