Berlin, via Copenhagen and London, August 22-A laconic dispatch of seven words announcing the entry of the Germans into Brussels, is the only news regarding the occupation of the Belgian capital yet published here The military authorities are content ing themselves with a brevity of announcement surpassing that said to have been employed by the late Field Marshal von Moltke. The Berlin papers express admiration for the swiftness of the German advance, but make no comment on the German tactics.

They occupy themselves almost solely with the correspondence between Prince William which was exchanged just Prussia, King George and "emperof fore war was declared and was published for the first time yesterday. The papers unanimous in opinion that these documents with the dispatches exchanged by the Emperor of Russia and the German Emperor prove completely that Germany, until the last moment, sought her utmost to maintain peace with Russia and France. Germany, it is declared, desired to prevent war with France and sought only a guarantee of French neutrality. England, however, refused to help in obtaining such guarantee and, therefore, it is reasoned England the first place was the cause of the war between France and Germany.

"Americans in Germany," says the Ambassador, "enjoy as great security in America. The populace 18 extremely courteous and the government has made great efforts to place special trains at the disposal of Americans, even during mobilization. The banks are very considerate, pav. ing checks and letters of credit."

A radiogram received today by the Health Officer at Quarantine from a passengers' committee on the St. Louis, which sailed from Liverpool on August 15 with a great crowd of American refugees, requested that the regulation forbidding the examination of ships arriving after sundown be waived. The St.

Many are traveling uncomfortably, owing to the loss of baggage abroad and all are exceedingly anxious to reach their homes and relieve their families of anxiety." Dr. O'Connell, Health Officer of the Port, immediately decided to waive the regulation and sent the following message to the St.

Louis: "Will board and pass St. Louis tonight." The steamship Ivernia of the Cunard Mediterranean service, arrived at this port late yesterday afternoon. The Ivernia sailed from Trieste on July 27, with 212 cabin passengers and 594 in the steerage. The declaration of war between Austria and Servia come but a few hours before her departure, and just before the ship sailed she was boarded by officers who took from her crew all Austrians not exempt from military service. While the steamer was tied up at Fiume, a typhoon tore through the city wrecking many buildings and doing much damage among the ships in the harbor.

Nothing further occurred, however, until the Ivernia arrived at Gibraltar, and here she was held by the Cunard Company for five days, as it was feared that capture would follow her venturing out upon the sea. Finally came word authorizing her to clear but before she had been fifteen hours out of Gibraltar the steamer was re. called by wireless and ordered to return with all possible speed to port. Again the steamer lay 'idly at her wharf for three days more, the while her passengers chafed vainly under the enforced delay. During this time her stack was painted a blue-gray color over its brilliant red, and thus disguised she sailed a second time, and reached the open sea.

While it was expected that the Ivernia. would proceed directly to New York, EL shortage of coal forced her to 426 put in at Boston yesterday, but after discharging a few of her passengers at this port she proceeded to her destination. Throughout her passage of the At. lantic the Ivernia sailed without lights every night, but these precautions proved unnecessary, as not a single ship was sighted while at sea. Among the passengers on the Ivernia were Mrs.

L. R. Packard and her daughter, Miss M. S. Packard, of 127 Hicks street, Brooklyn.

"We left New York on the Hamburg-American steamer Cleveland late last November," stated Miss Packard, "and spent practically all of our time abroad in Sicily and Italy, and were in Rome for four months." When questioned as to conditions in Europe, Miss Packard continued: "Excitement? Why, there was some in Trieste following the declaration of war, but we left 80 soon thereafter that we saw but little. When the news was received the Austrians marched through the streets singing war songs and made speeches, but to there was no great disorder and no ruffianly outbursts of any kind. At Gibraltar I counted over sixty British ships which had taken refuge in the harbor. and there were also several German ships which we were told had been taken by the English as prizes. following the outbreak of war between these two nations.

We had booked our passage 011 the Ivernia long in advance, and did not sail because we were afraid of trouble abroad." There was also on board the Cuhe narder Mrs. F. Rando, who after six years in Italy la returning to Brooklyn. where she will live at the home of her mother at 933 street. With her was her little son, to whom He Brooklyn will prove a new acquaintance.

Van Zandt replied: In "No. nothing caused me any great worry excepting that feared the York ice cream that 1Ve served twice a day. on board might give out. But this proved groundless." Mrs. Van Zandt had been Trieste.

MURRAYEARNS RIGHT TO PLAY WASHBURN Brilliant Californian Reaches Final Round on Meadow Club Tennis Courts. DEFEATS G. P. GARDNER, JR. Brookes and Larned Win From Johnston and Griffin in Feature Doubles Match.

(Special to The Eagle.) Meadow Club Tennis Courts, Southampton, L. August 22-R. Lindley Murray, the sensational Californian, advanced to the final round of the Meadow Club tennis singles here, toby defeating George Peabody Gardner, 'of Boston, in straight sets at 6-4, 6-4. Murray's victory earned him the right to play Watson M. Washburn of the West Side Tennis Club in the final round late this afternoon.

In the feature match in doubles Brookes and William A. Larned, the AustralasianAmerican pair, defeated William M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin, the Pacific Coast champions, by 6--4, 4---6, 6--2. The weather cleared after the terrific storm of yesterday, and the sun and strong wind from the west dried out the playing surfaces to a fair condition.

Murray, the Californian, and Gardner, the Longwood star, began the competition for the day in the semifinal round of the cup singles. Gardner started the service and, by following the ball right up to the net and blocking Murray's returns, he scored the first three games with comparative ease. Gardner, was at his best when he sent the ball flashing straight down the right hand line of the Californian's court. The Pacific coast player was repeatedly caught off his feet in the driving rallies, and, altogether, the steadiness of the old Harvard crack outplayed his young rival at this stage. It was not until the fourth game that Murray steadied to his service.

He managed his lobs better, getting the ball high enough so that Gardner failed to pull it down with windmill sweeps of his racquet, which had heretofore been scoring against the youngster. Murray forced his net game to the limit and, by wonderful gets and thrilling; the sessions games at to 3 blocking, all. Gardner Murray swung into his service in the seventh game, and he was forced to work hard to make it good. Murray had compelled Gardner to do a lot of footing, and he was plainly showing that he had "bellows to mend." Gardner could not hold to his lead of 4-3 on games, despite the stirring racquet work he put into the rallies. Murray in the last three games of the set recovered all of the slanting shots which his opponent drove into the corners.

He was quick of foot and had a sure eye for the returns. Gardner was mastered at his own brilliant net attack in the closing game, Murray taking the set at 6--4. The points in the games of the set follow: Murray 2 3 5 3 5-36-6 Gardner 4 3 1 0 01 3-29-4 Murray Breaks Through Service. smothered Gardner's service in game of the second set. Murray, The Californian trained.

his batteries of volley shots upon his rivals and by some powerful returns he scored what proved to be a temporary advantage. Gardner then let himself out for a bit of overhead play which most of the time finished the rally. Murray was frequently left standing helpless and out of range while Gardner slashed the ball through another portion of the court. Rarely has Gardner played so ably and with such certainty of control and tactical skill. Murray did not begin to approach him at smashing, and the Longwood man soon maintained a lead of 3-2 on games and appeared to have his adversary on the run.

The players were much disturbed at this stage by the late-comers of the big gallery of the morning crossing behind their court. The action seemed to annoy Gardner far more than it did Murray, and once, when whoole groups of people walked behind him, Gardner lost an important service game. The umpire tried to check the crowd, but was only partially successful. As the set moved on, the superior physical condition of Murray began to tell. He steadied and footed easily while Gardner was no longer bringing off his splendid shots with the same unerring aim along Murray's backhand as he had in the earlier games.

By volleying and driving deeply into the opposite court and by alternating with pretty crossing shots, Murray took the sixth, seventh and eighth games, always forcing the Longwood man relentlessly and catching him on half-volley returns which Gardner failed to get across the net. By mighty effort Gardner scored the ninth game. Two of his points were earned by wonderful overhead smashes as he leaped for, the ball, racing in toward the net. was only the final flash, however, for Murray forced his oponent out of position in the next game and aided by his service won the set and match at 6-4. The points in games of the set follow: Murray 5 3 4--37-4 Gardner 3 6 5 1-30-4 Large Gallery Watches Brookes and Larned.

Norman E. Brookes and William A Larned followed the singles and held the main court against William M. Jehnston and Clarence J. Grimn, the Facific coast champions, in the feature match in doubles. A great gallery had gathered and there was con siderable applause as Brookes, the famous Australasian, led off with the service.

Little Johnston replied 80 duly to the Australasian's servico and backed up his partner so ably in the rallies that 1 Brookes lost his gnme. Johnston followed in the order of service, with Larned coming third and Griffin last. So far as the playing was concerned, Larned and Griffin 80011 dropped out of the hard-fought rallies. The for mer American champion was slow of foot, and unless he got the ball in an easy position to handle, rarely got it neross the net. Griffin was erratic, making the difficult shots and missing the easy ones.

Brookes' cleverness and the ness of his net game 800n carried his vide along to a lead of 3-2 on games. Brookes always managed to keep the balance of power after cleanly volleying against Johnston for passes and winning the set at 6-4. The point score of the set follows: Brookes and Larned: 3 4 4 2 5 1 4 2 4 Johnston and Griffin: In the second set Johnston directed his attack against Larned, and by splendid team work the Pacific coast stars reeled off a lead of on games.
