PARIS, Aug. 20.-Telegrams received
from The Hague at y c'clook today say
it is persistently rumored there that the
Germans entered Brussels this morning.
The War Office admits il has received

The Germans were reported to have
taken Louvain last night, although this
is denied by the Belgian legation here,
and it has been conceded all along by
the French military experts that Bus-
sells would be evacuated by the Belgian
troops rather than to expose the city TO
a bombardment that would ruin its
