that Wexford County shall become
one of the strong agricultural coun-

the Belgians, realizing they could not
maintain their position, had orders to
fall back upon Liege. So incensed
were the Germans over the stubborn
defense that they burned the city of
Wise and are alleged to have killed a
number of nOn-combatants. An 1S-
year-Old Belgian girl, who shot at a
German officer, was killed by firing
squad.
The German losses in the fighting
in front of Wise number $500 in kill
ed and wounded and the Belgians
took three hundred prisoners.
The German advance was slow. The
Belgian defenders moved slowly
along both banks Of the Meuse and
along the railway and the military
road AT a number of points in the
retreat toward Liege, where the first
real Belgian stand was TO be made, the
Belgian army halted When the Ger
mans gave battle the Belgians moved
great swaths in their columns with
the machine guns. While this vas
proceeding, two regiments Of Ger
mans with an armored train had been
trapped by Belgians and practically
verts in the vicinity Of Spa
The Belgian army gave way until
Duhain. seven miles north of Liege
was reached Here a real stand was
made. The Belgian field artillery and
machine guns were massod and as
the Germans advanced the entire
front was shelled. For the first time
the aeroplanes became an important
instrument of war. Belgian aviators,
three in number, assembled, and with
officers in their machines recOnnoit-
cred the German position.
The exact location Of tho Germans
was signalled from the aeroplanes,
with the result that the accuracy Of
the cannon fire dazed the invaders.
Explosive shells fell in their midst,
killing and wounding hundreds. The
aviators paid particular attention to
the German staff officers with the re-
suit that the casualties among them
was very great. The Germans sent
up their air-men, but they were driven
off by the Belgians
According to one report, a Belgian
aeroplane attacked a German airman.
They fired reyolvers IT each other
without effect, and in their attempt to
get close enough so that the pistol
shots would prove effective. their
machines collided and FELL both men
being killed.
The German advance tonight was

extending to Francorchamps and

stood there that an additional army
corps with supporting hrigades OF
engineers and artillery has been
rushed from Cologne and that Grown
Prince Friedrich Wilhelm has started
from Berlin TO assume command. The
accuracy of this letter statement can
rot be vouched for.
Estimates of the total losses vary
