(By Ernest Smith,)

Brussels, Aug. 20.-A battle has
ragged all Wednesday long on the bat
tie line Of about 20 miles in front of
Diest and Tirlemont The Belgian ad-
vance lines have been driven back on
the main force Of the Belgian troops,
both Diest and Tirlemont today.
Belgians withdrew in good order
on the second line Of their entrench-
ed positions.
The casualties were very heavy on
both sides. Among the Belgians kill
ed was Count Wolfgang D'Ursal, who
was hsot through the brain while rid
ing at the head Of his troops. His last
words were: II have received my
reckoning; leave me and do your
duty"
While one Belgian cavalry squadron
was diemounted, fighting as infantry
behind the earthworks, party Of
German cavalry got behind them and
shot most Of their horses. The Ger
mans wrecked the railway station at
Diest and bombarded the town.
Germans Very Near Brussels.
London, Aug. 20.-An American
military expert, reviewing the situa-
left Brussels today. There was good
deal of agitation there. as the people
thought the Germans were near, and
there had been fighting at Tirlemont.
A good many refugees had come IN
from Tirlemont and Louvain.
The people kept.very quiet, though
they were filled with suspense owing
to the numerous rumors. The i'm
preston was that the Germans, after
making reconnaisances in force and
scouting the country to the north Of
Brussels with cavalary, were about to
advance in force on Brussels. The
population Of Brussels had been told
by the burgomaster that If the Ger
mans came they should remain in
doors and go on as far as possible with
their usual vocations.
Brussels is an undefended city, but
within the last three or four days
every important street leading out Of
the town has been barricaded.
Trenches have been dug in the out
skirts and barbed wire entanglements
have been placed In front Of them.
These defences, however, are intend
ed only for protection against a cav
airy raid. They would be futile
against any attack in force"
ANY battle for the actual possess
sion Of Brussels will be fought out

Louvain. II the Germans take Brus-
sells 1t does not mean in any sense a
military setback for, the allies, beyond
its sentimental effect, and the opinion
in Brussels was that owing to Frances
successes In Alsace and the. check the
German right wing has suffered in
Belgium something must. be done
which would have at least the form
OF success.

Reports are current in many European quarters
that Germany has decided to comply with Japan's
utmatuna, calling for German evacuation of Kiao-
Chow, and the abandonment of eastern seas by the
German vessels. Holland is said to feel uneasi-
ness for her East Indian colony in view Of Japans atti

The people will submit to the
Germans without any demonstration
because of the practical good sense Of
| the Belgians, which teaches them that
resistance after their army is driven
! pack Is fruitless and because Of their
supreme confidence that the British
and French will eventually drive tho
| Germans out of Belgium
The Belgian officials are warning
the people not to attempt any repris-
ais because that would bring reprisals
on them. You can hear any kind Of
ruraor in Brussels, and If the Germans
are determined to attack ikn force
Brussels will be taken, unless the al
lies decide to resist for the sake of
the possession Of the town.
More Audacity Than Skill.
The Germans have been using
| their cavalry with great audacity, ana
some times with more audacity than
skill. They have sent their cavalry
as scouts in all directions, and some
reported battles have been no moro
than reconnaisances in force in which
the Germans used both cavalry and
infantry and some guns, with either
one or two purposes. They were eth
er trying to cover their flank by these
continuous threats. or else they were

pedalling rapidly on the fine roads,
have responded instantly to the
alarms. The country is wholly un-
suited to reconnaisances, as it is cut
with hedges and eunken roads, There
Is rarely a field Of ten acres which
would permit charge. Using tele-
phones which, with automobiles, have
become such an important adjunct Of
war. the Belgians are able to give the
alarm instantly the Germans appear.
Then the cycle corps, directed to the

Reunion of Verm n tiers.

The following from the Manatee,
(Fla.) River Journal of January l will
be of interest to many readers of the
Register:
A most enjoyable Christmas celebra-
ton was held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. C. Hutchess where, at their in
vitation, the Middlebury colony, so
called, of Vermont people met and
spent not only the day as originally in
tended, but incentives to remain were
so strong that it was not until after the
twilight hour that the party broke up.
Everything tended to make the &C.
casion ideal and long to be remem-
bered.
The hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hutchess in throwing open their house
to so large a party, many of them
strangers, was unique and so unex-
pected that it was the subject of con-
slant remark. The warm rays of the
sun tempered by the cooling breezes
from the Gulf made the climatic con-
ditions all that could BE- desired and
were a revelation to those of the party,
who were enjoying their first Florida
winter.
After bountiful dinner the after
noon was spent either indoors, enjoy
ing the music, singing, Rotations and
relating incidents reminiscent of that
Dear little State among the dark
green hills" or about the grounds
admiring and commenting upon the
subtropical shrubbery peculiar to Flor
ida, until the deepening twilight warned
the party that it was time to disperse
and 60 their ways. On returning to
the house the tables were found reset
and tea was served.
| A vote of thanks was most heartily
rendered the hosts which was fittingly
responded to by Mr.. Hutchess when
the guests departed and Christmas
1913, was but a memory, a memory
forever green, forever sweet.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs. w.
H. Dow, the Misses Dow-Ruth and
Hazel, DIR. and Mrs. L. f. Mellen, Mr..
and Mrs. c. B. Shedrick, Mrs. Edith S.
Cough and daughter, Anna, Mr.. and

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
