PARIS hears REPORT
OF fall OF BRUSSELS
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP snnIs.

United Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Aug. 19.-Rumors that
Brussels has fallen before the German
advance have been widely circulated
here. The French War Office admits
knowledge of the rumor. It states
very positively that the report is not
confirmed. Communication with the
Belgian capital, however is cut off,
and a general battle has been in pro-
gress since daylight yesterday.
In connection with the rumors
about Brussels the War Office, in an
official statement, points out that the
Belgian defense plans centered around
Antwerp. That is the Belgian base.
II is tremendously fortified whereas
Brussels is not. The withdrawal Of
the Belgian seat of government 10
Antwerp, announced yesterday was
considered highly significant.
Interest in the situation in Belgium
has distracted attention today from
the French operations in Alsace-Lor-
raine. It is realized that the Kaiser
is stalking everything on his offensive
movement through Belgium.
No word is being received directly
from Brussels today but whether this
is due to the censorship or the pres
ence of the Germans is not known
here.
The French advance through AL
sace-Lorraine continues. the Germans
giving way at every point. It is stated
that the occupation of Saarburg was
completed without a fight despite the
fact that the Germans were strongly
entrenched there with plenty of ar
tillery. From this fact the military
experts believe the German stand viii
be made at Strassburg, which is heav

DN AHN CAhNNQ
PARIS, Aug. 19.-Widely circuiat-
ed reports that the Belgians have de-
finitely abandoned the defense OF
Brussels are without official confirm
alton. II is stated in official circles,
however, that these reports might be
true. Il is further explained that
there never was any serious inten-

defend Brussels. Instead, the plans
for the general defense all centered
around Antwerp. II was to be the
center Of the entire Blgian defensive
plans and if the Belgian general stan
has departed from Brussels for Ant

of the original intentions. No infor-

NEW YORK, Aug. l9.-Cl a. m)-
The kew to Germanys battle plan in the
Belgium plains is evident from the seri-
pusness Of the fighting at Dinant, de-
scribed as the first real battle of the
war. and the general German movement
toward Wavre and GemblouN. The Ter
man objective is to get between the
allied forces in Belgium and the french
frontier, so that in case of defeat the
z,lies can be driven northward INTO Ant
warp and locked up for the rest OF the
war.
The principal detail Of this movement
is the Dinant attack. Dinant marks the
chief crossing of the Meuse between the
twenty miles that separate the Belgian
fortress OF Namur from the trench DOT
der fortress of Givet.
If the Germans can force a crossing
of the Meuse at Dinant. their way VIII
be northwest over the Sambre river
Once across the second stream, their
strategy will have gained what may be
vitality important advantage. ne
