responsibility for the destruction at
Rheims. and especially of the Rheims

withdrew from the town to save it but
that the French not only reoccupied it
but posted much of their artillery,

The tower of the cathedral was ocCu-

The Kaiser was reviewing a regiment

of Virton.
II salute you," he said, addressing the
men, just after embracing the Prince. II

me to meet you again on conquered

eastern Belgium between King Alberta

The Belgians and Germans are reported
to be In contact near Mechlin, around

The obvious intention of the Belgian
army Is to cooperate with the Allies IN
France by engaging the Germans over
as large an area as possible in Belgium,
80 as to prevent reinforcements from
being sent west.
King Alberts forces are also working
southwark toward Brussels to menace
the German lines of communication. IL
is reported that the advance guard of
one Belgian force engaged the German
outposts only 13 miles from Brussels.
Another report describes lively skir-
mish between Belgian civic guards and
Germans near Audermarde, about 15
miles southwest of Client, on Tuesday.
The Belgians captured an automobile and
five prisoners, without any losses The
Germans had three men killed and two
wounded. South of Mechlin the Belsians
advanced and gave battle to a German
detachment.

The information brought by the refu.

a different face on the situation, as ST
Giles-Waes is only about IL miles west
of Antwerp.
In their panicky state the fueitives
may have mistaken other troops for
Uhlans, but If they are correct II would
indicate that the advance guard of the
Germans is pressing close to the tenn.
porary Belgian capital.
1t is apparent that the small detach-
ments of Belgian troops are acting in
dependent of King Albert's main COM
mand. This would explain the skir-
mfshes between members of the Belgian
civic guards and Germans at scattered
points in Northeastern Belgium. It is
undoubtedly the policy of the Belgian
General Staff to harass the German ad-
vance to the fullest extent with flying
squadrons which can move quickly over
the country, attacking then with
drawing.
The main Belgian army evidently is
not far from Antwerp.
