Many of the smaller houses in the suburbs and along the canals have been destroyed and the trees outside of the city cut down so that any German attacking force will be unable to take cover. Officers detailed by Gen. Joffre from the French staff corps to aid the Belgians are now here and are meeting with the Belgian Staff. There is doubt whether the German plans consider any serious siege of Antwerp. The defenses of the city are cone sidered impregnable. There are three lines of forts, the final and naturally the strongest having been completed in 1908, The entire approach from the land js carefully guarded, while British or French warships cam be brought directly up the Scheldt to aid in the defense. Communication with Brussels is entirely cut off and no word has been received of developments in that city follow- ing its evacuation by the Belgians.

Headed py a Major-General and his staff, the German forces proceeded into the city along the two main roads leading from Louvain. Up to that time the only German forces in the city were the cavalry which took possession of Brussels yesterday. _ Ason yesterday, the invaders were met at the city boundary by the Burgomeister of Brussels, garbed in his official robes. The greet- ing to the Germans was friendly. The Burgomeister called attention A to the fact that the city had yesterday surrendered to the Germans, that it was open and undefended, and that on behalf of its people he demanded thé protection decreed by the principles of international law. The German Commander-in-Chief said that so long as the people of the city remained quiet they would be in no danger. But he made it] emphatically plain that any attempt on the part of the Belgians to in- terfere in any way with the German forces would be met with suitable reprisals. , The German General and his staff then proceeded to the City Hall, where offices were established. i The German signal officers took possession of the telegraph offices | and the troops proceeded to tie positions to which they had been as- | signed.
