BELGlUM'S WONDERFUL FIGHTING
TODAY'S
SITUATION

lBy j. w. T. Mason, formerly Euro
pean manager of the United Press.]
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-To-
days lull in the fighting at
t.ege is probably due to the
4ecessity for summoning re.
Inducements to assist the Ger,
man attacbmrsiB This breathing
space give See French troops
time to joi11Ghe Belgian forces.
A French detachment mas
crossed from Lille, one of
Frances army corps centers
to the Belgian military from
tier fortress of Tounai. II is
doubtless being moved up in
reserve for the fighting at
Liege, one hundred miles dis
tant. Half way between Tour
mai and Liege is Waterloo, the
last great European battle
field. 1t may be the scene of
another bloody conflict if the
Germans can fight their way
across the Meuse river and
proceed to Brussels.
The Importance to Germany
of seizing the Meuse defenses
before moving into France is
due to the necessity for guard
ing against a flank and rear
attack. With Belgium and
France allies, a practically
continuous half moon of forti-
fications and military centers
exists from Lille by way of
Valenciennes, Mons, Namur
and Huy to Liege. This forms
a wall of about one hundred
and twenty miles and unless
its back is broken, there would
be grave risk to any German
army advancing into France
through eastern Belgium.
If the Belgians must retreat
before the German advance,
they will be in a quandry.
Should they move westward
and make a stand for the safe
ty of Brussels at Waterloo, or
some other nearby spot, defeat
might mean the bottling up Of
the Belgian army for the rest
of the war. The German army
undoubtedly would try to en-
tice Belgium's moving nearer
the capital to defend it and
then by an overwhelming
movement, force them into
Antwerp, the only strong fort
ress left. Once in Antwerp, the
Beigians would have as great
difficulty getting out as the
Germans getting in. If Bel
gium is to go through the war
to the end, the army will have
to conduct it's retreat toward
the southwest should the
Meuse defenses fall. This
would allow a battle to be
fought at Waterloo, for the
safety of Brussels, but in case
of defeat, the Belgians must
be prepared to abandon their
capital and move southwark
into France-not further into
their own country.
It is we'll to issue a warning,
however, that we have not
heard Germany's side Of the
fighting. While there can be
no question Of a German de-
feat at Liege, we are without
news concerning other move
ments of the kaiser's forces.
It is known that the Be1gians
ventured out Co Spa, seven
teen miles southeast of ,Liege,
and there destroyed two Ger
man regiments. We haven't a
word of reason why this fif-
teen miles was left omen to the

INVASION IS CHECKED.

From a United Press Staff Cores
BRUSSELS, Aug. 5.-(DeayeD-
Germany's invasion of Belgium is
checked. Her forces suffered serious
reverses today in an attempt to seize
the Belgian railways and military
roads for use In the invasion of
France. The Belgian forces stood the
blood test. They have crushed an
entire German army corps and COM
PEELED it to halt to await the arrival
of supporting columns now being rush
cd from various points near the front
ier. Details Of the exact loss is not
We. available. but the minister of war
says that the German "casuaIties are
staggering, while ours are compara-
lively uninportant.''
Germany was surprised at the out
set. To that the Belgian military
leaders ascribe their wonderful vic
tory. The invaders did not anticipate
any serious resistance. General Won
Emmjch, the German commander,
realized the strength Of the Belgian
fortifcati ons but in common with his
had nothing but contempt for the Bel
CLANS as fighting force. And it was
this feeling that contributed to. the
defeat. Crossing Into Belgium at
point near Wise, the Germans were at
tackled early Tuesday night. There
was only preliminary skirmishine un-
til daylight, Then a German column
Of ohIans, supported by an auto
corps in high powered automobiles,
and others on motorcycles, charged
the BeIgI ans. The latter gave way, in
accordance with prearranged plan.
EIated with their success, the Ger
mans swept on without waiting for
their infantry supports or for the
artillery. Just in the outskirts of Wise
the ReIeians made their first stand.
The Germans were trapped and driven
back in confusion, leaving several
hundred dead and wounded on the
field.
When the German reinforcement nts of
infantry arrived, a second attack was

DESERATE BATTLE.


BRUSSELS, Aug. 6.-The
battle of Liege is becoming in
creasingly desperate. The en-
tire German army with its sup
porting artillery is engaged
and the Belgian defense is
stubborn. Two of the outlying
Belgian forts have been evacu-
ated, having been rendered
untenable by the heavy Ger
man fire. The German artil-
lery now has the range Of the
Belgian position and it's fire IS
extremely effective, but it has
failed to check the Belgian
war enthusiasm. Additional
Belgian reinforcements are be-
ing rushed to the scene.

perior to the Germans. The
Germans who attacked the
forts in the environs of Liege
were driven back by an heroic
attack made by a Belgian
mixed column which has al
ready earned for itself the
highest honors. No German
who passed the fort survived.
"The Belgian losses are
trifling. The Germans lost g.
600 in killed and wounded at
Liege and $500 at Wise while
many have been taken prison
ers. The postmaster at Wise
was shot because he refused to
send kilograms for the Ger
mans. "A soldier of the Four
teenth regiment, single-hand-
ed, fought a German squad
and killed four. The Belgians
in action numbered only about
5000 men"
