to Penetrate Lines

To get a clear conception Of tn
battle one must picture a 50-foot higl
railway embankment, its steep, slon
ing sides, heavily wooded, stretching
across smiling. fertile countryside
like monstrous green snake.
On this line runs fast trains from
Antwerp to Brussels. Malines, witt
its historic buildings and famous ca
thedral lies on one side of this EN-
bankment and Wilworde on the other
four miles separating them.
Tuesday the Belgians, believing the
German communications to be poorly
guarded and the Brussels garrison toe
weak to assist them, rashly sailed
from the shelter of the Antwerp de-
fenses and took the offensive like a
terrier striking at a bulldog.
They drove the Germans from Ma
lines. but the Germans brought UP a
fresh army corps and yesterday morn
ing the Belgians found themselves in
a perilous position. The battle hinged
on the possession of the embankment
and was fought along a ten mile front
It began at dawn with an artillery
duel across the embankment By noon
the cannonading was terrific. The
Germans got the range and a rain of
shrapnel burst about the Belgian bat
