London, Aug. 22. a. m.-Very little yet has become known of the opera tions of the early week which the Ger man army between the Belgian forces and their French allies and enabled the Germans to occupy Brussels. It IS supposed the Germans must have brought up very strong forces behind their cavalry screens and that se- were battle must have been fought to compel the Belgians to abandon Brus- sels and retire on Antwerp.
 Whether the French forces were en- gagged with the Belgians is not known.
 No information is available as to whether the Germans now intend. to devote themselves to the task of re- ducing Antwerp or to an endeavor to force their way southward into France It seems, however. that the deter1nina- tion is to attack the Belgian army of some 150.000 men who are still in or around Antwerp. The Germans al- ready are advancing in the direction of Ghent. They have occupied Alost, l5 miles northwest of Brussels, and Wat. teren, eight miles southeast of Ghent, and apparently intended to overrun the whole of northern Belgium to the sea.
 Cavalry patrols have been seen as far as Mechlin (Malines), IA miles southeast of Antwerp. and it may be expected before long to hear that the Germans have occupied Ghent and Bruges, and possibly even Ostend
 IT. however, this is their decision, a clear invasion of Franch through Bel giurn must still be more longer de- layed.
 The German general has imposed a tax of S4o.o00,000 on the city of Brus- sels.
