BRITISH AND GERMANS
 CLASH IN BELGIUM
kdSeI's Troops AdVanC; Has Been
 Rapid and Steady.

London, Aug. 26, 4:30 a. m.-"At last the British army is at grips with the Germans" says the Ostend cor respondent of the Daily Mail.
 "It was a great moment when the British general staff with their men arrived. The inhabitants went mad with enthusiasm. The British army has come to Belgium!' ex- claimed the townspeople gleefulIy, and nothing was too good for them. They had no difficulty in obtaining needed provisions. The populace was eager to provide for the visitors what they requisitioned, namely, eggs, bread, butter and coffee. All requisi- tions were paid for in gold.
 Ordered to Retire.
 "The civil population was ordered to retire in the direction of France. The people regretfully shouldered their bags of belongings and passed silently down the road.
 '"The troops advanced to battle po- sitions at o'clock in the morning. At o'clock eight German aeroplanes appeared, whereupon a flock of Brit ish aeroplanes rose like birds to drive them away.
 Artillery Opens Fire.
 "Then the artillery began to talk and the air became thick with cannon powder The great battle had begun. Forward went the infantry. Rifle fire and maxim fire added to the boom of the big guns. Sunrise mingled with the glow of burning forests and the flash of guns.

 She complains particularly of the absence of bath tubs and of the ter- dency of several families to use the same water closet.

 She advocates a city collection CT ashes.
 With respect to water closets, she says. Tn striking contrast to the very good water facilities are the toilet arr rangenents in tenement houses. The unlighted toilet apa rtment is the rule rather than the exception. A single fixture is frequently made to serve two Families and there is no possibif- ity of either family individual pri- vacy in the use of the convenience. It cannot be strongly enough argued that privacy. decency and morality require that each family should have the use of water closet accessible directly from the apartment without passing through any public part of a dwelling.
