adopted the ordinances the Aldermen
concurred in their action today.
The work will be commenced as soon
as possible, and should no unforeseen

shown him during the time ne has

LONDON. August "A t11;o5 II. NJ
Pushing forward by mere weight OF
numbers. the German advance across
Belgium is slowly but steadily pro-
ccedinE. Soon II must come In con-
tact with the allied armies. which. ac-
cording TO an official communicate ton
from brussels tonight. are In battle
order at some point unnamed.
The Belgians In the outpost skirmish-
ing are said to have inflicted severe
checks on the German forces: but on
the whole the German wing has kept
on its way and has reached a line from
north of Namur to Haelcn. which sug-
Gcsts that the first battle Will be
fought somewhere between l.ouvain
and Diest, where the allies probably
will try TO block the roads TO Brussels
and Antwerp and prevent the German
attempt to render North Belgium un-
tenable.

entered Belgium through Charleroi,
going 10 the relief OF their neighbors.

by the Belgians. who tell OF another
slaughter of the invaders. who. they
say. attempted to rush tho fortress.

they did not expect. and that every
