London, Aug. s1.-Arno bosch. form
erly Of Portland, Ore, a magazine cor
respondent, who went into Belgium
some days ago, arrived in London to-
day from Brussels, which city he left
last Thursday. He said John T. Nc
Cutcheon of Chicago and Irwin Cobb of
New York. correspondents, were safe
In Brussels when he LEFT. Referring to
the military situation in Belgium, Mr.
bosch said:
THE German auto trucks are a mar
vel Equipped with scythes, they NOW
right through hedges and wire fences,
If the roads do not suit the drivers.
These trucks are heavily armored and
they are able to resist anything except
artillery fire. They enable the German
forces to make 40 miles a day. The
number of these trucks seems unlim-
lied.
1T is estimated that 100000 German
troops have made their way through
Brussels. and that 400. 900 moved south
of Brussels. The troops which passed
through Brussels We're later engaged
with the British forces. Only a small
detachment of Germans was left in the
Belgian capital.
4 have no personal knowledge of
the German atrocities reported from
Belgium" Mr.. bosch went on, land
have inclined to discredIt most of these
stories. The Germans also tell many
stories of Belgium atrocities, most of
which l believe. In some cases Belgian
boys and old men undoubtedly fired on
German soldiers from inside OF build
ings. This was the case in Brussels
and elsewhere and men in buildings
from which shots We're fired were in
n mr.
women or children being killed because
of their having been found in buildings
from which shots have been fired.
II believe the Germans have wedged
into the allies and that they are not
keeping a straight front to the enemy.
The line of fighting from Namur south
has been a zig-zag and nothing like
what many strategists have guessed.
'Louvain is a pitiful ruin. 1 came
through that city on my way out from
Belgium and saw the smoking ruins.
Only the big cathedral was visible
above the smoke, and that may have
gone later. 1 was unable to go to
that section of Louvain where the
American colleges. maintained by
American bishops, are located but
heard that they had displayed the
American flag and had been spared
Il had no opportunity to learn of
the events which preceded the destruc-
ton of Louvain. The loss OF this city
Is universally mourned in Belgium"
