All foreigners will be asked| i to.leave as soon as possible. King Albert and the general staff ‘are mow here. The forts are all man- ned and the civil guard has been di- rected to act under orders from the military. Fast channel steamers have, been requisitioned to. carry .the non: combatants to places of safety, eithe! in En ! Many of the smaller houses i the suburbs and along the canals have been destroyed and the trees outside the ‘city cut down so that any German attacking force will be unable teo take oceyer. Officers detailed by General Joftre from the French staff corps to aid the Belgians are now here and are meet- ing with the Belgian staff.” There is grave doubt whether the German plans. contemplate any se- rious siege of Antwerp. The defenses are deemed impregnable. Warships Can Aid in Defense. There are three lines of forts, the final and naturally the strongest hav- ing been completed in 1908. proaches from the land ‘are carefully guarded, while British or French war- ships can be sailed directly up the Scheldt to aid in the defense. But the very fact that it would re- quire a lengthy slege to take the city, |4 if it could be taken, seems to forbid formidable, German advance against it. To detach an army of suf-||| ficient strength to,make an impression on Antwerp would rob the kaiser's forces of men badly needed in the ad- vance against the French fronmtier. It 1s expected all the Germans will do will be to post a force sufficiently strong to hold the Belgian army ‘in thus protecting its flank from attack, while. the main body of the German army continues to press It is reported, but not the’ Germans burned many nd or France.
