The little force of 6,000 Belgians made « gallant defense, but the enemy was 20,000 strong and the Belgians were unable to reply effectively to the deadly fire of the German siege guns. “The Germans began the attack between 3 nd 3 o'Clock Saturday morning and the rain of shells over the town was incessant until 8. It was a hopeless task attempting to hold earthworks against such odds, and one by one the slender defenses were abandoned. “The defenders were able to leave in good order, without serious losses, and went by way of Berlaer and Overmeire in the direction of Ghent. ‘ , “After entering the town the Germans set it afire and throughout the morning dense clouds of smoke overhung the town. Not three miles away the peasants, with strange and dull apathy, were still working in their gardend, qometimes turning to watch the smoke, Only the children seemed afraid and they ram and hid from my motor car. “I sighted German. outposts from Termonde to within ten. miles of Ghent, and there are indications that they will almost immediately occupy Ghent.

OF HEROISM OF (TS ARMY In Fine Condition Now, With of 15,000 More Than Made Up —Superior Man to Man. LONDON, Sept. 7—In the longest statement so far issued by the War een battles in various parts of the immense front which in other ware conceptions of the French General Staff. Since the battle at Carbeat en Aug. 26, where the British troops, guarded the loft flank of the whole line of French ar@iies from a deadly turning attack supported by ap enormous force, the French army hae come into operation on the British left. ENEMY’S LOSSES MUCH HEAVIER. “This, in conjunction with the ifth army on our right, bas greatly the strain and pressure off our left. The fifth French army, in on Aug. 29 advanced from the line of the Oise River to meet the German forward movement, and a considerable battle developed to town of Guise. In this the fifth French army gained a marked and success, driving back with heavy loss and in disorder three German corpe—the Tenth, the Guard and a reserve corps. It is stated commander of the Tenth German Corps was among those killed. Halli Compiegne. This action was carried through by the First British Cavalry Brigade and the Fourth Guards Brigade and was entirely satisfactory te the British. in “The German attack, which was most etrongly pressed, was set. Drought to a standstill until much slaughter had been inflicted upon. them and ten German guns had been captured. The brant of this credlt- able affair fell upon our Guards brigade, who lost in killed and wounded about 800 men. After this engagement our troops were no longer mo- lested. Wednesday, Sept. 2, was the first quiet day they had since the battle at Mons, on Aug. 23. “During the whole of this periof marching and fighting have heen continuous, and tm the whole period the British casualties, according te the lntect eotimates, have amounted to about 15,000 officers and men. “The fighting having been in open order upon a wide front, with re peated retirements, has led to a large number of officers and men, aad that a very considerable number of those now included im the total wil] 7: rajotn tiie colors safely. “These losses, if heavy in go small a force, have in no wise affected e spirit of the troops. They de net amount to one-third of the losses is- fiicted by the British force upon the enemy, and the sacrifice required of the army has not been out of proportion to its military achievements. “Drafts of 19,000 have reached our army or are approaching the mes oa the line of communication, and advantage has been taken of the ave quiet days that have passed since the action on Sept. 1 to fill up the gaps and reat and consolidate the units, “The British army is now south of the Marne and Is in line with the & wo tl French forces on the right and left. panied her was algo under 7 woman of tile was ar- GERMANS FEAR BRITISH CAVALAY. “The latest information about the enemy {s that they are negiecting Paris and are marching in a southeastern direction toward the Marne and toward the left and centre of the French lines. The first German army is had| Feported to be between La Ferte-sous-Jouarre and Effises Boffert. “The second German army after taking Rheims is advancing on Cha- teau Thiery and to the east of that place. “The fourth German army is reported to be marching south and og the west of the Argonne between Suippes and Ville-sur-Tourbe. All these points were reached by the Germans on Sept. 3. “The seventh German army has heen repulsed by a French corps near Dieaville. 1¢ would therefore appear that the enveloping movement on the Anglo-French left flank has been abandoned by the Germans hecause % was ne longer practicable to continue such a areat extension, or because the alternative of a direct attack upom-the allied lines fs preferred. “Whether this change of plan by the Germans is voluntary or whether {t has been forced upon them by the strategic situation and the great strength of the allied armies in their front will be revealed by the course of events. “There is no doubt whatever that our men have established a personal ascendancy over the Germans and that they are conscious of the fact that with anything like even numbers the result would not be doubtful. The shooting of the German infantry is poor, while the British rifle fre has devastated every column of attack that has presented itself. “Their superior training and intelligence have enabled the British soldiers to use,the open formation with effect, and thus cope with the vast numbers employed by the eemy. The cavalry, who have bad even more opportunities for displaying personal prowess and address, ha ef ritely established their superiority, Field Marshal Sir John French's sport dwells on the marked superiority of the British troops of every arm of the service. 5 “The cavalry,’ he says, ‘do as they Like with the enemy until they are confronted with twice their muambers.
