BoULooNE, Aug. IS.-The silence OF
this war Is wonderful. Every English
trooper here talks about H. They say:
DO you know that our wives have no
idea of where we are? We did not know
ourselves where We were going. The
first thing we knew was when an officer
who came along with us on the train
to Southampton shouted: NO noise
there: don't you know you're on active
service?'
when we got to the transports we
might have been going to Borneo for
all we knew. The skipper did not know
the port he was bound for until the
transport was twenty miles out.
I'VE must not write letters or any
thing except a postcard to say that we
are all well or that We are in hospital
and there will be no postmark on that.
The officers are immersed in the same
sea of silence as the men. Only those
of the highest rank know what Is afoot
The suppression of English papers
has been one of the features. Customs
officers board all incoming ships and
quietly capture every newspaper.

BRUSSELS. Aug. 17.-Since yesterday
the Germans have not renewed their
serious attacks on Brussels. Their last
movement was vigorously repulsed. II
was southeast of Wavre. where they
advanced In triangle on Eghezee,
Wavre and Jodoigne. Their object was
to separate the Belgian and French
armies.
Pushing the Belgians back to Ant
werp would be dangerous tactics. as in
the event OF success the Germans would
be exposed to an offensive movement
on either side. 1t may be assumed
therefore, that the movement was taken
rather with a view of masking the
march OF the Germans south along the
Meuse. Central Belgium appears to be
no longer exposed to invasion.
