REPORT HEADQUARTERS
OF GEN. B0EHN Is AFlRE

OSTEND. Sept 2S.- Unconfrmed
reports received here today state that
the city of Mons, headquarters OF
Gen. Boehn, commander of the Ger
man army sent, to assist Gen. Won
Kluck, is burning and that the rail-
road bridge on the main line between
Brussels and Mons at Bierk, has been
blown up, cutting railroad communi-
cation between the German forces at
Brussels and Mons.
One version of the destruction of
the railroad bridge says that it was
accomplished by a Belgian force, but
it is more likely that if it has been
blown up this was done by a strong
detachment of French of British
troops.
The destruction of the bridge would
put the German right wing in a Sc
rious predicament, as il would be un-
able TO get supplies from Brussels.
No reason is put forth for the report
that Mons is burning 1t is hardly
probable that the allies have sue
ceeded in driving the Germans from
there and it is understood to be a
strategic point in the German op-
erations that they would hardly aban-
don.

The retreat of the German forces

where a German infantry brigade and
two regiments OF cavalry supported by
six batteries were ambuscaded. The
Belgians hit the German line in the
front and rear. The Germans re-
tired leaving number of wounded
and several ammunition wagons.

There has been severe lighting near
Termonde. where the invaders flung
large masses of men against the Bel
gian center. From all indications the
lighting has been continuous for a
number Of days is the preliminary
stage Of a decisive battle which is
expected soon.

throw their entire army against the
Germans because If such a movement
was undertaken and the Germans
were victorious, Antwerp would be
left without any defensive force eX-
Cept the artillerymen.

opposing the German advance at that
point. took up "a position that placed
the village between them and the

heavy guns on Audeghem and soon
the place was IN flames.

from TermOnde. and a little less than

Dysentery and measles are partic-
