BIG NAVAL BATTLE
RUMOR UNCONF|RMED

London, Aug. S.-That the German
and British fleets have clashed in the
North sea is the report coming from
many sources.
Some of these reports declare
England has won a glorious victory"
In the house of commons First Lord
of Admiralty Winston Churchill de-
MED that any decisive naval engage
ment had taken place between the
German and British fleets.
That there has at least been a bat
tie is admitted at the admiralty,
which says English shipping is now
safe, the German warships having
been driven to Holland. The fact that
German warships have fled to home
waters is accepted everywhere as
meaning hat England's power on the
sea is supreme.

Brussels, via London, Aug. THE
Gazette publishes what 1t says are
the facts SO far as known regarding
the halt given the German forces by
the Belgians In the Liege district.
The German losses are estimated at
5000 men, while the Belgians suffered
far less.
The alleged rout of the German
Seventh army corps is not confirmed
in its entirety, however, says the Ca.
zette. which adds:
These are the facts: The Belgian
Eleventh brigade, after successfully
resisting the German attack, pursued
the fleeing Prussians with such energy
that the general commanding the Bel
gians was obliged to order our troops
to turn back, as they were getting
outside of the range of the guns of
the Belgian forts. The enthusiasm of
our troops was magnificent.
"A number of wounded Germans
fed to Dutch territory and this gave
rise TO the belief that the enemy had
been completely routed.
German Casualties 5000.
They suffered, however, consider
able losses, which are estimated at
5000. Our losses were relatively
small.
AT 4 o'clock in the morning the
German Tenth army corps attacked
the C~haudfontaine and Boucelles forts
from the southeast, while their artil-
lery bombarded the fort at Female,
on the opposite bank OF the River
Meuse, five miles southwest of Liege.
The Belgians captured seven guns
and several prisoners.
Proposals for the surrender of
Liege have been again firmly refused"
General Linaer, in a further official
report of his operations in the Liege
district. states that $4,000 Belgif rs
were engaged in the battle against
10000 Germans. The success of the
Belgians was complete. Every az
tack of the Germans along their ex-
tended front was repulsed.
