LONDON. August 2s, 4:25 a.m.-The
Mails correspondent at Rotterdam sends
a telegram from Antwerp, dated Thurs
day night. which says:
After a magnificent defense of two
days by the Belgian army Malines was
retaken by the Germans.
''on the first day 10000 Germans op-
posed the Belgians, and on the second
day 10000 flung their might against a
greatly inferior force. In the end the
Belgians retired on Antwerp. leaving the
enemy in possession of the town. The
Germans Immediately entrenched. after
ordering the inhabitants to leave. wachten
and Heindoniek were destroyed by the
retreating Belgians. to prevent their be-
ing used as a cover by the enemy in their
operations against Antwerp.
Refugees at Roozendaal say the Ger
mans possessed amazing knowledge OF
the roads The German attack on Ma
lines was furious, and inspired by de-
sire to end the sorties which the Bel
g:ans were making from the town
against their trenches and around Brus-
sells.

I'VE did not wait long. The German

There is much difference OF opinion
