In Sweden and Norway both obser-

foreign scientists were in either coun-
try owing to the dangers of the North
sea voyage necessary to reach theil
shores. Nor were they deemed as fa
vorable points of observation as Rus

STORY OF SITUATION
in BELGIAN TERRITORY
Belgians Were Depended on Only to
Delay the German Advance, and the
French Must Now Get In.

between the Germans in Belgium and
the allies main body was believed
here to be expected by the French war
office.
Except that German cavalry were in
possession, few details were known con
cerning the occupation of Brussels.
Announcement that the city had been
taken was made Thursday night. The
civil guard and all citizens had been
disarmed, and the German commander
had promised to protect the town and
to save its k;ctoric spots from acts of
vandalism.
1t was assumed that the kaiser IS in
fantry would occupy the Belgian capi-
tai today, leaving the cavalry free to
proceed southwark.
The Belgian main body 8 retirement
from Brussels to Antwerp was consid-
cred to have eliminated them from fur
ther operations in the field, as it was
taken for granted the Germans would
bottle them up in the lasyer city.
"The Belgians have fulfilled their
part" the official statement put it,
"and the sterner work of the future
remains to be undertaken by the
French and British allies
This announcement epitomized very
accurately the Paris war office view of
the situation.
The Belgians were depended on to
do more than delay the Germans ad.
vance while the French and British
made their preparations. They accept.
ed their task far more effectively than
had been expected. Yet, the desperate
fighting which has already occurred
was looked on only as outpost skir
mishes.
| Henceforward "sterner work" is OF
the program.
The situation was regarded as high
ly satisfactory. With the Liege forts
still believed to be holding out at thei
rear, a strong Belgian force threaten
ing their right flank from Antwerp
Namur menace to their left and tn
allies facing them, the German position
was considered an unenviable one.
The London denial that there wer
any British troops in Belgium wa
thought to have been issued for strat
egic reasons. 1t was expected the Bri
tish troops whereabouts would soon b

The Germans wore reported entrencf
