les Moving Towards Brussels.

(By Granville Fortescue, Special Cor
respondent London Daily Telegraph
| and international News Service.)
| Brussels, Aug. 10.-(Delayed in
transmission)-it is quite possible
| that outsiders do not realize the effect
on future operations of the German
check at Liege.
First, it gave France time to COM
plete her mobilization.
In the second place it gave Eng
lands army time to mobilize and
land on the continent.
In accomplishing this result, the
Belgians have rendered signal strateg
zeal service, but the effect on future
operations must be considered. In
time the city of Liege and its forts
will fall. This will not occur with
out enormous sacrifices. and these
sacrifices will mean that in the sub
sequent maneuvers the Germans
right wing will be weakened.
With this known to the command
ers opposing the German advance, it
is obvious that they will always
watch for a chance of landing a
crushing blow on that side.
Again, the moral effect of this in
Belgium is astounding The untried
troops now know that they are the
equals of the professional soldiers of
Prussia and the soldiers of England
and France will say to themselves eff
the Belgians do it, we can every day"
1t will be perhaps the German plan
to leave retaining force at T.iege and
push on. Their original program of
sweeping down the Meuse to Sedan
will have to be delayed if not entirely
abandoned. The $4,000 Germans-1
cannot believe there are any more at
Liege-are but small portion of
their fighting force. Their actual ex-
peditionary army will nearly more
approximate half million.
Such number move slowly and
each day lessons the advantage the
Germans gained by their rapid mobil
ization. Liege is now surrounded by
the Germans and no word reaches the
outside world. The only wireless in
stalled was destroyed. Even with the
city taken this does not mean that
the Germans will be able to push on
down the Meuse. All arrangements
have been made to destroy the bridges
and railroads on the shortest notice.
If Belgium, the David of Europe
can hold back the invading Goliath
short time more. Germany will be at
a great disadvantage against the triple
enemy. 1t is possible that the next
engagement will occur north of Liege
and nearer Brussels.

A close watch is kept on the Ger
man advance by French and Belgian
aeroplane scouts, but most of the in
formation they gather is kept secret
by the war department.
German cavalry with quick-firing
rifles has already reached Hannaut,
seven miles to the northwest of
Lege. Two divisions of German cav
airy, with supporting infantry and
artillery, are operating at Tongres,
fifteen miles north of Liege where
fighting has already occurred. Ger
man engineers are engaged in fortify-
ing Tongres. Last Sunday German
cavalry passed the outskirts of Liege,
following a route to the south of the
province of Limburg to Tongres and
Saint Trend, and evidently proceed
ing toward Hesdaye.
On Monday hostilities began be-
tween German calvarymen and the
Belgian calvary outposts in the
Hesdaye district, which lies to the
west of Liege and north of the Mouse,
and forms part of the provinces OF
Liege, Limburg and Namur.
Since then the Germans have been
engaged in a systematic reconnoiter-
ing of Hesdaye to discover the posi-
tons of the Belgian field artillery.
Their cavalry patrols are followed by
infantry detachments.
1t is understood tonight that Ger
man troops are being massed along a
line extending from Thionvllle to
Liege. Engagements have taken
place principally along the line be-
tween Tyrelmont and st. Trond anu
midway between Orsemael and Bus
seahaven.
An official statement says the Ger
mans are apparently recognizing in
front OF Liege preparatory 10 a
fresh forward movement. The French
artillery is rapidly moving to the
front through the city.
