They were too high to be "reached by the areo guns and are believed to have located the positions of the allied armies. * Advices from Maastricht say that a strong German column, supplied with much heavy artillery, is moving against Namur. It will encounter nine forts circling the city, similar to the twelve forts that have : ‘worked such havoc at Liege. Namur is only one-fifth the size of Liege and the forts are closer together than the nes at the northern city. The ground between the forts and the city of Namur ts better for ; e purposes than at Liege. a ul . an Army Marching Into Heart of Belgium Be BRUSSELS, Aug. 12 (via London)—-The German army is being detached from its iponttion before Liege, and is advancing through the heart of Belgium. The main body of the German cavalry is engaged in a forward movement all along the front of the allied armies. _It is believed that the Germans have decided to attempt to carry through their origi- “nal plan for the invasion of France by way of Brussels and Lille. Crossing the Meuse River ‘to the north of Liege the main German army of more than 200,000 men is believed to be ing out the Belgian defense line with cavalry. King Albert left Brussels for the Belgian army headquarters at Louvain. The tails of the Belgian movements ure ‘withheld, but it is admitted that strong French nts are now operating with the Belgians everywhere, while the British expedition still believed to be in the vicinity of Namur. 3 In order that their march may be uninterrupted the Germans are reported to have ‘again attacked the Liege forts with great vigor at daybreak to-day. While the forts at ‘Mast accounts were still intact the German artillery bombardment is having its effect, and e of them are admitted to have been badly damaged. A letter received here from Liege says the German General Staff is installed there in ‘the convent of the Sacred Heart, which is strongly barricaded. The Germans, it adds, are mulating quantities of flour in case they should find themselves invested instead of ing besiegers. . ans Pierce Gap Between French Forts.
