day. They prove conclusively that the

The general plan for an assault all along
the line of the Mouse. The advancing

Bclgians had been sent from Huy, which
is held by the Germans, having been
captured by a cavalry division sup
ported by mounted artillery.
The Belgian air scouts reported the
German advance, and the Belgian COM
mander had mounted his machine guns
in position to rake the entire country
outside of Eghezee.
Entangiements had been constructed
with felled trees and barbed wire along
all of the roads and across the fields,

served until the Germans had encoun-
tered these obstacles
The Germans were trapped, and while
tney were vainly trying to break through
the line they were subjected to a muir
oerous fire from the Belgian lines.
An official statement issued from the
war office at noon says:
