the centre OF this array and reports
from the field are that the enemy is
likely TO be caught In a trap.
There have been numerous skirmishes
during the last few days and In spite Of
their relative unimportance the losses
have been heavy The Germans had been
sending forward bodies Of scouting
troops. In some OF these encounters the
invaders have been successful and in
some they have retired when they
learned sufficient about the position OF
their opponents.
Brussels is barrcaded and awaits the
threatened attack. The German main
army Is coming up slowly but strongly
and the general engagement cannot be
long delayed unless the principal forces
are diverted TO the Luxembourg battle

they were taken or destroyed after the

enemy had no distinct advantage over

mission of holding the enemy in check
