LONDON, Aug. 26.-(4:40 p. m.)
Since the withdrawal of the allied
armies to the defenses of the French
frontier. virtually no news has
reached the public of the military
operations in southern Belgium.
The rush of the main Russian
army toward the fortress of Posen,
in the German province Of Posen, II
true, is regarded as the sensational
news of the day. 1t might account
for the Germans falling back to
eastern Prussia.
The report that the French have
abandoned their positions in Alsace
has not been confirmed, although 1t
is labelled as official by the news
agency which carried 1t. Other ver-
sions of the same official statement
do not contain this reference and
the French embassy today declared
that It knew nothing of the matter
clay increases Distress.
Owing to the difficulty Of compil-
ing a correct list along such an ex-
tended front. no details OF the Brit
ish casualties, which Premier AS
quith yesterday placed at 1000. yet
have been received. This delay is
increasing the distress of anxious
relatives OF men at the front.
The announcement Of losses. however,
only seems TO have intensified British de-
termination, Judging from the extra work
being performed by the recruiting officers
today. This tenacity of purpose was fur
ther evidenced by Premier Asquith in the
House of Commons this afternoon in
making the announcement that proposed
to ask King George to convey to the king
Of the Belgians the admiration with which
Great Britain regarded the heroic re-
sistance OF his army and people TO the
wantOn invasion OF their territory and an
assurance OF the determination Of this
country TO support in every way the ef-
forts OF Belgium TO vindicate it's indie
pendence and the public law Of Europe"
Seeking Facts.
The premier further declared that the
Belgian government was taking steps to
get the established facts OF German
atrocities, as related in the statement
given out yesterday by the Belgian min
lister hero, to the knowledge OF the whole
civilized world.
The opponents OF compulsory military
service in Great Britain momentarily
raised their heads in the House of Conn
mons today but the premier reassured
them. lie said there was no intention OF
introducing this system. FIe added. how
ever. that Secretary OF War Kitchener
needed all the recruits he could get. It
was a great mistake TO think, Premier
Asquth declared. that Great Britain
wanted only 10000 men.

the paymaster general of Namur. who

subjected to a furious bombardment and
the German fire was so we'll regulated
that the first few shots silenced Fort
Marchoyelette on the northeast and Fort
Meizzeret on the east. Fort Andoy also
suffered badly and was almost out of
action. The story continues:
The Germans entered the town with
out encountering much resistance. Fort
Dave at the southeast of the town and
Fort Wepion on the opposite side of the
Meuse and the line of forts to the north

Germans Overcome Obstacles.
In spite OF the elaborate preparations
with wire entanglements through which
was passed an electrical current of 800
volts and the liberal use of broken glass,
Namur fell into the hands OF the Ger

The Belgians evacuated the town in
an orderly manner. All rolling stock
and motor cars were removed and the
station master left on the last locomotive
with the railway cash box under his
arm. The Belgian troops numbering
about 1900 passed under the protection

bleman who was reported Wednes-
day and today as having lost his
life in battle.

London from Antwerp conveys
the report that the American

however, caused the airship to re-
tire.

says that in Lorraine the allied
armies have taken UP combined
offensive movement and that the
situation in the Vosges is nn-
changed. The battle continues in
the region of Luneville. but the
French troops are said to be

A dispatch from Antwerp sets
