correspondent in Brussels says:
German soldiers who were wounded
and brought into the Rel41an lines or
who wsras taken prisoners in the on
gasements Of Wednesday and Thurs
day give dethils Of the events Of the
aasS for4ni1ht - sesA.fron the other
side. Here is the narrative Of one Of
them:
"T belong to battalion Of infantry
(which was sent forward with cavalry
to reconnoiter In force on tho Belgian
left wing, near Diest. It did not par
ticipate In the fighting At Liege, but
came straight from Germany, crossing
the Meuse near Wise. The vast number
OF troops being moved to the front
caused endless delay and some con-
fusion. especially in the matter of pro-
viding food.
Soldiers Wsary and Hungry.
"'When we approached Diest most OF
us were weary with hard marching and
hungry. Then came my hrst experience
Of actual fighting, and 1t was very
different from maneuvers.
<AS Wo dUV0uCCO Iu0 ocl6ldn arm
lery opened against US and as each
shell fell men went down like human
ninepins. Our officers, who seemed ut
terly unconcerned, bade us be of good
cheer and do our duty, and we pressed
on, leaving the wounded to the am
balances.
"'Then came herce nring from the
Belgian trenches, to which we replied
Frny,, hohiva yorinI,s bedOas and ditchoS
that offered natural cover. Our cav
airy was ordered to take a Belgian
position In front Of us by storm, and it
charged 1t full speed.
Few Come Back Alive.
sTew who took part in that en-
gasemeut came back alive or un-
wounded. Horses and men went down
together and lay in motionless groups.
They were our own comrades, and the
sight was terrible.
when the Belgian cavalry charged
us we were too exhausted to continue
the fight. Some OF us lay prostrate on
the ground and we're taken prisoners;
others turned ana fled. It was con-
tinued lack Of food that brought about
our downfall
"Most Of the prisoners talked freely.
They said they werc astonished at the
resistance offered IN Belgium. at the
formidable character Of their foes, and
that the German commissariat has
broken down even at this early stage
Of the campaign.
regarding the movements Of troops
the German prisoners are reticent. As
q matter Of fact. they know, nothing
except about their own immediate
reximentS."

London, Aug. 17.-The Brussels cor
respondent Of the Reuter- Telegram
Company eays that today's official
communication Of the Belgian war Of

and unimportant Incidents. This is
done evidently to satisfy the public de-
mand for news without betraying any
information regarding movements Of
