sent it in this place, as follows;
To the Editor of the Tribune:

F ATE Of BELGIAN
ARMY IN BALANCE

that these structures, if spared,
will not be utilized in the desper-
ate defense that the garrison is ex-
pected to make.
If the city falls the Belgian army
will have the alternative, barring sur
render, of attempting to fight it's way
through a German infested country in
order to effect juncture with the
allies or of retreating into Holland,
there to be interned until the war
ends. The latter course would elimi-
nate Belgium as a factor in the great
struggle. For days Antwerp has been
holding out in the hope that the left
wing of the allies would swing around
in time to save the city. Recent re-
ports from the battle line have made
it plain that succor from this source
was extremely doubtful.
1t is believed that the bombardment
of Antwerp began to-day after a de-
mand for the surrender of the city
had been refused.
Little change on the battle line in
the north of France is indicated in
the afternoon statement of the French
war office. 1t says that on the French
left wing the Germans have made no
progress. while at certain points they
have moved back. On the right wing
there is no change. it is said. The sit
uation on the center remains much
the same. Violent attacks in the
Woevre district have been repulsed,
1t is stated, but no details of the
fighting were given.
According to the French statement,
the rush offensive continues along the
the Russian offensive continues along
the front of East Prussia.
A wireless dispatch from Berlin

German fire from Tsing-Tau is slack
ening. The Japanese government,
says a dispatch from Toxic. has is
sued no public statement regarding
the taking of the German island of
Jaluit. in the Pacific, but the officials
eXpain that Japan's assurances that
she does not seek territorial aggran-
disement must not be interpreted as

for the protection of commerce.
