GERMAN SHIPS SUNK BY ENGLISH SQUADRON NAVAL BATTLE IN THE NORTH SEA RESULTED DISAS TROUSLY FOR THE GERMAN BOATS-THE TREAT BATTLE ON LAND STILL CONTINUES Fleets of Great Britain and Germv?y at last have come to grips, and, according to reports from London, victory lay with the British. In a hattie with British warship off the Island of Helgoland, in fha North Sea yesterday, the Germans are reported to have lost two cruisers and two torpedo b als sunk, while another of their cruisers and many of their destroyers were badly battered. The British claimed not to have suffered the loss of a vessel and declared there were few fatalities on board the vessels of their fleet The German casualties were not stated. v The Island of Helgoland, which lies 45 miles off the mouths of the rivers Elbe and Weser, always has been regarded as a point of great strategic value for the protection of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal and otherwise in the naval defense of Germany. Recent reports had it that, a Jarg^ part of the flower of the German navy lay in the waters adjacent to the mouths of the Elbe and Weser and in the Kaiser Wil helm canal. Again 4ast night there was a paucity of news concerning the land warfare in Europe. The French war office in a statement said laconically that the situation along its lines Friday was the same as it was Thursday, ad ding that the Germans "apparently have slackened their march." That was all From England there came not a word officially concerning the fighting on land. One of the important announcements of yesterday was made by the* Marquis of Crewe in the house of lords, lt was that Great Britain would draw on the naval forces in India, to reinforce her armies in Europe. The German forts at Tsing Tau fired on two German cruisers reconnoitering off the fortress. One of the cruisers was said to have been damaged. Louvain, a Belgian town of 50,000 inhabitants and with many historic buildings, is reported to have been burned by the Germans as an act of reprisal for alleged firing on German soldiers by Belgian citizens. The belgians claim, however, that the people of Louvain did not commit the hostile act charged, but that it was the Germans themselves who fired on their fellow countrymen. Because of non-payment of a ware levy of $40,000,000 the Germans, it is said, threaten to seize the famus pictures and objects of art in the Brussels museums. Advices from Chinese coastal cities report the sinking of the German torpedo boat destroyer S-90 by the British torpedo b^at des --troysr Welland and the seizure by the aHies of various Germa? mer cuati?men as prizes. German reservists are said to be pouring into Tsing Tau from various parts of China to aid In the defense of the German station. London.

Plan of Dc renae Admitted To Be Strongest In the World (By Associated Press.) Washington, Aug. 28.-Thc fortifi cations of Paris and their ability to resist a siege lr receiving the close attention of military observers, now that Paris la the announced objective t of the German forceB, and the French j. ministry of war lr strengthening the ? city's defences. I ( The general character of tho city's, detailed defenses are well known to] military experta, who recognize them as among tho strongest fortifications In thc world, . The fortifications consist of three ' distinct circles sweeping around thc city-first, tho rolld wall of masonry ? eighteen feet high extending for. twenty-two mllc?3 around the old sec-1 Hons of Parla; socond, the Rystem of seventeen detached forts arrangea av in torva IF. two miles beyond the wall, and making n circuit of tho city 34 1 miles long; and third, an or.fr girdle I of forts, 75 miles long. a| Each of these circles of masonry' and steel is nv complete defense in '.tself. The waTTaround Parir and the seventeen detached forts two miles beyond the wall, were built by Louis Phillips. They sustained the German siege of 1870-71, and the outer forts pince have be^.o greatly atrengthened. The third line of forts are of modern construction with the- latest types of batteries and heavy gins. Tho inner wall about Parla sur rounds the best known and roost im portant sections of the city. Outside of the wall a circle of suburbs ex tend? for many miles, among which are dotted the forts of the second and third line of defence, protecting them and' the approach-fa to the capital The wall contains 93 bastions and 67 SS?S8.' The second line of forts included (he fa moue fortress of Mont Valerian, which was the center of attack In the German siege of 1870. South of tho city ls the row of. forts sJt Ivrv, Bie tre, Mont Rouge, Vanyes and Issy. North and east of the city are three great fort;- around St. Denis, and tv o others at Port Aubervillera and Port Charenton, commanding the ap proaches of tho great wood of Beady. Thc outer circle of forts,' of the most modern type have from 24 to 40 heavy guns and GOC to 1,200 men eaeh, In all tho tbrec lines of defenses re quire 170,000 men to operate them, not counting troopr assembles within the city. According to military ex pert:; it would require a "cree cf 505, 000 men to invest hese defenses. General Von Mouke, ticld marshal of the German forces at thc tune ot the siege of Paris ot 1870.71. states in a roport on that siege tnat the French artillery armament consists of more than 2,627 pieces, including 200 of the largest calibre of naval ordnance. Thoo were 500 rounds for each gun, and a reserve of three million kilograms of powder. Von MoUke points out that tTie bombardment of u fortified place, in the heart of .an enemy's country, is difficult If net impossible, until the' invader is mas ter of the- railways or waterways by which heavy aiege artillery can be brought up. lie explains the failure to.bombard Paris at the outset of the former siege by saying it would have required 300 heavy guns ?Uh 500 rounds-for each man. The movement forward of there heavy guns would have required 4,500 four-wheeled wag ons and 10,000 horses, which were not available. . At a later stage the Germans brought up their big aiege guns, at tacking the enciente and forts and <JrA?n|nv SAQ tn IQO fifteen 0C!?t!*T!0te V sheilV dally into the heart of the city. Notwithstanding thc fury of the Ger man attack, Paris witrstood the siego for 132 days. Since then the entirely new gad outer third Une of defense has been erected and military experts say the fortifications as a wbole are far more formidable than those which resisted the former siege.
