BRUSSELS, Aug. 5.—The Belgian quices: are reported to have won a sweeping vic- tory near Spa, the famous Belgian watering place. Two entire regiments of Germans are said to have been killed during the en- gagement. trol. railway in an armored train. track at a point where the road crossed the culvert. When the train was squarely on’ the bridge the mine was exploded, completely ward cars filled with Germans. At the same|————— time the Belgian artillery opened on the re- mainder of the German force which had been convoying the train. The carnage was fearful. The Germans, although caught by surprise put up a strong resistance, but they had no supporting artil- lery and finally retreated toward the fron- tier. In the meanwhile a Belgian column position and the two regiments composing the assaulting column were caught in a trap. Many were killed before the officer in com- mand surrendered the column td the Bel- gians. The Belgian loss was comparatively un- important, according to the announcement made public here. The German prisoners have been taken to Spa. It is announced here that the French army has effected a junction with the Bel- gian army at Tournai, a point thirty-five miles west of Liege. From now on it is ex- pected that the Belgium and French armies will operate together. England also is now expected to send an army to Belgium’s aid, and the attempted invasion of the German forces will be met by a very strong, allied army. : Bridge Near Spa Is Blown Up Under]!
