Belgian Army Headquarters, Sept. H..
Another Belgian town is added now
to the list Of those already laid in
ashes by the Germans. This is Alost,
q manufacturing and Socialist centre,
between Brussels and Tcrmonde. 1t is
primarily working class town, with
a muddy main street and dull red brick
houses with q military like alignment
ahutting on the main thoroughfarc.
The burning of Alost appears 10 have
been as needless aud unprovokcd a
the destruction of Otaer towns which
have been blOtted out in the German
campaign. The peaceful inhabitants
II IS said, offered no resistance and
committed no breaches Of the rules OF
war.
The regulars OF the Belgian army
have foi days been closing in on Alost
bent on driving out the enemy.
While the details arc lacking at
headquarters this evening, it is known
that the Belgian force advancing west
ward made a clean sweep of the Ger
mars holding AloSt. After a brisk en-
gagemCnt the enemy was driven out,
withdrawing TO the main road in the
direction of Brussels. The Belgian
commander says that the enemy fred
the town in several places rs he with
drew. A number Of German wounded
were left behind. News Of this latest
German outrage has excited fresh hor-
ror and Indignation throughout he
country.
"The enemy is being closely pressed
at several points in the theatre of op-
erations, and from the northwest is
slowly retiring on Brussels. Resi-
dents who have escaped from the CAPT
tai assert that the feeling OF uneasi-
ness manifesting itself among :he Ger
man garrison, which now is making
elaborate preparations to defend the
city in the event of attack. Fortified
positions for artillery already have
been prepared for several miles around
the city. The inhabitants, aware Of
the Sanguinary. revengeful nature Of
the Germans and fearing reprisals in
the event of German defeat, are dec
ing 10 places of safety. The Germans
boast that if they are compelled to
evacuate Brussels they will leave moth
ing OF the beautiful city save mass OF
ruins.
Considerable lighting took place to-
day in the area within which Client,
Termonde and Brussels form the point
Of triangle.
The Belgians. although threatened
in force by the enemy are pluckily
holding Malines, which the enemy ap-
pears eager to recover.
