The German operations against Ant,

progressing with no apparent damage to
the Belgian positions.
According to the War Office the Belgian
troops, by a series of sorties from the
Antwerp forts. have succeeded in inflict-
Ing considerable damage on the enemy.
After heavy bombardment of the
outer forts the German artillery fire died
out at o'clock this morning and a Iull
ensued
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The War Office issued an official state
ment to this effect this afternoon. The
statement follows:
The German bombardment bated al
o'clock without sIenctng the forts.
During the firing many houses in
Lierre, a suburb. were set on fire,
The populace has taken refuge in this
city
The Germans used heavy guns
against the forts, and Belrian
artillery replied vigorously. The fact
that the German ordnance Is much
heavier than that of the Belgians has
enabled the Germans TO attack al
very short range.
A member Of the General Staff said
this afternoon;
The German attacks have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses The de-
Tenders are confident OF resisting a
siege.
