London. Oct. 6.--Miss Mini ROseliar,
a young English woman who has
reached London with a party Of Amer
leans sent from Brussels under pass
ports furnished by the American con-
sui, gives the following details Of re-
cent happenings in Brussels:
ION the whole, the Germans conduct
themselves very well. though with some
arrogance. They occasionally meet
their master. Brand Whitlock, the
American Minister, proved himself
their match one day.
by agreement with Mr. Whitock it
had been arranged that of the supply
Of meat at a public abattoir the Ger
man troops should have a quarter
while the remaining quarters
should go to the civilians. On this day
the German officer sent to the abattoIr
and demanded the entire supply for
the troops. Said the American Minis

from America in the near future as the
supply or hand is already exhausted
and economic difficulties as well as pa
triotic reasons make Il impossible 20

The purveyor declared that mitrail-
leuse and shrapnel fire had caused
many leg wounds and tor this reason
there would soon be a large demand
for artificial limbs. In fact, ne thought
that there would be fewer arms than
legs lost by wounded.
Lord Kitchener appeared interested
to-day when he emerged from the War
Office and saw a dozen men POLISHING

TENNIS COURT USED
AS BLIND FOR GUNS
Built at German Baron's
Chateau, Near Namur,
Last Spring.
nv IOHN BANISTER.

., ..,-r.sooDdeDt OF The New YORK
Tribure and London standard. B
Osterd. Oct. What l am con-
WINGED is true explanation OF the
amazingly swift subsection of Namur
NV the Germans. and afterward of Maui
bouce. has been given me by resident
Of Lille. who arrived here this evening
from Antwerp. The story offers so
simple an explanation that l believe If
viii be found in due time fully con
frmed BY local evidence which cannot
have been oblitera;ed.
Every one knows that The great Ger
man 42-centimetre howit2ers require
concrete base, which has to be most
carefully and laboriously constructed
4 certain German baron has occupied
for some years a chateau five miles
rom Nan.ur. Last spring he made
lew tennis couru in the ground. Ger
man workmen were employed, and
deep concrete foundation was laid to
rrecise measurements, with line OF
ldllS lNlN4lk w ~ NN4AtAN'
the asphalt tennis court then was Land.
The presence OF the concrete beneath,
md especially the rails, which We're
supposed by these few persons who
saw them 10 be simply convenience
for bring I'D the concrete, naturally
bed no importance attached to them by
those who played tennis this summer
an the courts.
When the Germans made their at
tex on Namur, giant howltzers winch
can only move at the rate Of two miles
an hour drawn by thirty-two horses
for each one, were placed IN position
on the rails and firmly stationed on the
concrete which was exposed and cleared
in a few hours by the removal Of the
asphalt. The tennis courts position
gave a clear and exactly measured
range to the forts of Namur, which were
smashed up in two days.
At Maubeuge similar plans were
made. Some forest land five miles
away was sold two years ago for build
ing purposes 20 firm now believed 10
be agents Of Krupps. 1t built an al
legged traction engine factory for
which the space was covered with
deep layer Of concrete and provided
with rails. The Germans used this in
the same way. II is suspected that sim
liar concrete beds were prepared before
the war by German agents around Ant
werp, but the Germans do not appear
10 have found them accessible yet OF
the Belgians forestalled them and
rendered the concrete beds useless. A
workshop near Schoonaerd was last
week labelled by the Germans Not to
be burned II was built with German
materials and German labor" When
the Belgians returned to it they found
it contained a complete plant and ma
terials for making pontoon bridges.

German attempt TO take the offensive
AT Cracow thus far been productive.
The reported presence of Emperor
William in East Prussia and the ar
rival Of Emperor Nicholas at the front
are taken here to emphasize the ire
mendous Importance Of the impending
battle. Three million men, 1t is eSti-
mated IN Petrograd. VIII be engaged.

London. Oct. THE Russians are
moving forward 10 again invade East
Prussia. The victory at Augustowo. If
il is as complete as reported, is Of the
greatest importance 10 the Russians. as
i will prevent the Germans from I'M
dertaking any operations from land
and sea. which would have compelled
Russia % turn a. least a part of its
attention in this direction.
General Reunenkampf apparently
drove a wedge between the two Ger
man forces which were advancing on
Druskeniki and OsSowctz and brought
about the battle of Augustowo. If the
Germans have not already retired from
the left bank OF the Nicmen River at
Druskeniki, their defeat az Augustowo
must compel them 20 do so. The moral
effect Of another invasion of East Prus-
sia will also be Of Importance.

ment, received from Petrograd:
In East Prussia the retreat Of the
