fsy uosn.sc JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRri
London. Aug. % e a. m.)-Little
has become known of the operations
early in the week, which put the Ger
man army between the Belgian forces
and their French allies and enabled
the Germans to occupy Brussels.
1t is supposed the Germans must
have brought up a very strong force
behind their cavalry screens. and tha'
a severe battle must have been fough'
to compel the Belgians to abandon
Brussels and retire on Antwerp
Whether or not the French forces
were engaged with the Belgians Is mol
known.
No information is available as 70
whether the Germans now intend to
devote themselves to the task oil re-
ducing Antwerp. or TO an endeavor &c
force their way southward into France
1t seems, however, that the determl-
nation is to attack the Belgian army
of 10000 r1en, who are still IN oi
around Antwerp. The Germans al
ready are advancing in the direcuon
of Ghent. They. have occupied Alost
fifteen miles northwest of Brussels
and Wetteren. eight miles southeast
OF Ghent, and. apparently intend q
overrun the whole Of northern BEL
gium to the sea.
Cavalry patrols have been as far as
Mechlin (Malines), fourteen miles
southeast of Antwerp, and IT may DC
heard before long that the Germans
have occupied Ghent and Bruges, ano
possibly even 0stend.
If this Is their decision, however,
clear invasion of France through Bel
gium must still be much longer de-
layed.
The German general has imposed
tax Of s4O,000.O0 on the city Of Brus'
sells.

REPORTS GOOD
COTTON CONDITIONS

Assistant Labor Commissioner w.
G. Ashton, after a trip to the cotton
producing belt of the east side of
the state, says that he found the con-
dition of the crop to be good and
that there is to be a great deal OF
work.
The promise as to wages is not
encouraging to the cotton pickers,
however, as the outlook is that soc
per hundred will be the average price
paid. This. however. is the rate in
Texas, and is not likely to attract the
Oklahoma pickers to that state, so
