German field artillery, mortars and
siege guns are In action pouring
thousands Of exploding shells Into
the Belgian fortresses.
General Gournour declared that the
request for an armistice was intended
only to permit the Germans to hurry
up two additional corps that were
pressing forward from Cologne. The
Germans have been outwitted at ev-
cry point to date. The BeIgians have
apparently fallen back defeated and
whenever the Germans have rushed
forward they have been trapped. This
ruse has worked several times. In
addition seven regiments Of German
cavalry who had managed TO cross
the Mouse were surprised by eelgians
and literally cut to pieces. Those not
killed or wounded were forced to sur
render.
General Goudnour reported to the

THE SHADOW DEEPENS.
LONDON, Aug. 8.-The
elaborate plans of the brilliant
German general staff for an
overwhelming invasion of
France and Russia have met
with a severe check. The
fighting in Belgium already
has shown that the enormous
German military machine is
after all, far from invincible.
The success of the French in
penetrating Alsace and get
ting a foothold before Null
hansen, is declared by British
experts, to be extremely i'm
portant. England's action in
rushing troops across the
channel in aid of the Belgians,
/ is taken that the military con-
siders Germany a menace. The
British army was to have been
kept in England to repel an in
vasion. But now the admiralty
believes it has the kaiser s
| formidable mass of sea fight
ers bottled up where they can
not be withdrawn to esccet an
invading army to the British
shores.
The fleet is an impenetrable
secret. It has not attacked or
been attacked, although scouts
of the two nations fought a
running fight with minor casu-
.alties and no loss Of ships.
It is the plan of the war
office to send at least 100, 900
men to Belgium from England
and to detour the entire col
onial armies to the continent
as soon as they arrive. The
Canadian contingent Of 81, 1000
men will be on the ground in
a month and the Australians
and New Zealanders will not
be far behind. It is already
certain the allies will strike at
German colonies. Cut off from
the mother country which is so
pressed at home that she can
not divert a single man to pro-
tect her in those abroad, and
with the fleet bottled up for
the present at least, Ger
many's position is considered
desperate. There is no dispo-
sition here, however, to con-
slider her defeated. Far from
