following account Of the capture Of the
first German flag:
The engagement Of the French
troops with the Ninety-ninth brigade
Of Germans lasted from $50 a. N. to
9 at night
THE artillery combat was terrible.
The French 75-millimeter guns made
havoc among the German horses and
then reduced the heavy German guns
to silence. The gunners were decim-
ated by the French fire and they aban-
doned their pieces, which fell into
French hands.
The German machine guns from q
church steeple continued to ravage the
Fr9 nch, but the church finally was de-
motished.

Germany's original plan of campaign
did not contemplate resistance by Bel
GUM or participation in the war by
England The kaiser believed he
would have to contend with Russia
and France alone.
Russia covers an immense territory
and its transportation facilities to the
German border have been considered
inferior. Germany assumed that, by
violating the neutrality of Belgium
and the principaIity of Luxembourg in
sending armies through these coun-
tries to the French border, it could
overpower France in a very short time
and send its main army to the north
east by the time Russia had massed
an army at the Prussian frontier.
So Germany and Austria together
threw an army numbering about 1,300,-
600 against France. But Belgium
courageousIy and effectually resisted
the wanton violation of its neutrality,
and England, keeping it's pledge with
Belgium, entered the war.

Germany is racing a million
men toward Paris and Russia is
flashing three million on toward
Berlin. Which will reach its goal
first, if at all? The answer may
come in three months, and what it
is perhaps will decide the out
come of the European conflict.
During the last week, the main
German army, numbering more
than a million men, commanded
by the kaiser and his sons, has
won control of the greater part of
Belgium and has driven the
French-British army, which it
outnumbers, entirely out of Bel

twenty miles within the French
