It will be known as the Battle of Haelen. The Germans were thrown vant | ward Hasselt and St. Trond. oman An official communication to-day says: “The Belgian cavalry’ division this mo took up the offensive against the Germans who were defeated in yesterday’s battle of tut len, with the object, it is believed, of picking up the dead and wounded and collecting tt wil ‘abandoned war material. “No German surprise was expected, and there are no reasons to fear any G ,;cavalry movements on Brussels from the south, all the roads leading to the capital b Cale by the Belgian army and the civic guard. ; When a patrol of carbineers first signalled the approach of the German troops = "| terday, the Belgians manned the trenches and a hot fire greeted the German soldiers. The German guns were then brought to bear and swept the trenches with such @ ;|deadly hail that the Belgians were obliged to fall back on the town of Haelen. oF 4 Reinforcements were quickly brought up, however, for the Belgians, and in spite of :|the numerical superiority of the Germans they were repulsed, suffering severely. The battle centred around Haelen in the Belgian province of Limbourg, extending t Diest in the north province of Brabant after passing around Zeelhem. At seven o’clock last evening all the country between the three towns mention jhad been cleared of German troops except the dead and wounded who were thickly s about the fire zone. Upwards of 200 dead German soldiers were counted in a space of fifty yards A church, a brewery and some houses in Haelen were set afire.and two brid the Demer were destroyed by Belgian engineers. Great quantities of booty were collected on the battlefield and this has been stacked in front of the town hall of Diest. RACE The oat aad, OFF .
