ANTWERP, Sept 19 (by mail to New York).—Out of the horror, the terror and suffering in the burning of Louvain by the Germans has come finally a story of the heroism of two young girls, which will go down in tory along with the gallant defence of history along with the gallant defense of Liege by the men of the nation. Valerie di Martinelli and Leonle van Lint were merely telephone operators before the Germans entered Belgium and then destroyed the city of Lou- vain, Now they are national heroines, for with shells bursting around them and flames on every side they re- mained at their switchboards until the telephone wires had been torn down by shells, or carried away by the fall- ing walls of buildings. They know that over the long lines which they controlled the orders of the Belgian staif officers were being communicated to the retreating troops. To desert the switchboard meant that these orders would not be received and confusion a: disaster might follow, They remained at their Posts. The two young women were on duty when Louvain's day of destruc- tion began. G.adually the sound of the German guns came nearer. Shells began to burst in the town and then shrapnel rained against the buliding wm which they were working. Flames sprang up from buildings about them, Sull the wires held and still the two young women sat at their switchboatds making connections for the hurtied orders of the Belgian officer: ‘Everybody else had long since fied from the town when the last wire snapped and Valerie and Leonie knew they could do nothing more. ‘Then they crept from the building. Mitratileuse bullets spattered in the mireet about them and they sought every possible means of shelter as they hurried from the gone of death and destruction.

French Always Fall Back Un- ‘der Cfose Contact, German Officers Say. AIX LA CHAPELLE ,Sept. 4 (Asso- ciated Press)—In most of the en- counters in Belgium the overwhelm- ing numbers of the Germans were enough to account for their successes. But in the fight at Butssiere on the morning of Monday, Aug. 24, two com- pantes of German infantry were the cause of the rout of an entire French army corps, The tremendous advan- tage in the position held by the French makes this defeat one of the crowning riddies of the German ad- vance. The little village of Buissiere is ai- vided by the River Sambre, which at this point is lined with marble sta- tions, boat houses and breweries. North, the land rises gradually and is spotted with farmhouses; on the south bank of the river there is a sharp bluff about 75 feet high and so abrupt as to give it the appearan¢e of @ geological freak. Along the verge of this almost perpendicular height runs a low hedge. The Germans held the village itself and were encamped upon ground to the north, about @ quarter of mile from the riv The Forty-eighth Regiment of the Second French Army Corps crept be- fore sunrise to the top of the strate- gic position on the south bank of the river, where the natural advantage was so great that it would have seemed that a dosen rifies might have held it. Bebind the regiment of chas- seurs-a-pied, who reinforced their ae- curity by a low trench behind the hedge which topped the ‘luff, the Two Hundred and Fifty-first, the Two Hundred and Eighteenth and the Twenty-seventh Infantry Regi- ments of the line took their stand. Still further back on a @ort of sec- ondary eminence which rose from the bluff itself lve . camel's hump ationed the Twenty-seventh Dragoons of the Fifth Army Corps and five batteries of the artillery divisions of the same corps. As the sun rose the artillery opened fire upon the Twenty-seventh Brigade of the Seventh German Army Cor.4 across the river. It did deadly execu- tion and so raked the unoffending village of Buisslere across which it had to fire, that the building. in the congested portion near the river seemed to topple over as if they had been rocked by an earthquake. The ‘Twenty-fourth German Artillery waa late in arriving and hundreds of Ger- mans had fallen beforo the French machine guns were answered by Ger. man artillery fire, Finding the French fire too power- ful, the Germans determined upon a charge which will go down in history, ‘Two companies of infantry, consiat- ing only of five hundred men, ad- vanced at full speed down thg easy slope to the Sambre, and dashing across a ‘small bridge which the French at that moment were trying to destroy with dynamite, they charged up a small pass which threaded its way up the ateep incline to the crest where the French sbarp- shootera were ensconced, ‘The hedge which screened the enemy. emitted almost continuous tongues of flame. The effect was deadly, but the diminished German scaled the bluff, and by some girack which must remain a mystery, dis- persed the French troops by a bayonet charge.
