B EUGIUM.

Reports from various points in Europe are to the effect that Ger many is about ready to renew, with much determination, her az pressive campaign in Belgium. It is feared in Belgium that the al lied armies will be unable to stop the advance of the big German army that is about to endeavor to push through to France
 For a second time, the Belgian government has refused to allow Germany to send troops through that country. The second request for a peaceable transportation of troops through Belgium made by Germany was to the effect that if the re- quest were granted the troops would be removed from Belgium soil as rapidly as possible and efforts would be made to prevent any act of Ger many from causing Belgium to get in trouble with the other powers.
 Dispatches received in London from Brussels state that the seat of gov ernment of that country is being moved from Brussels to Antwerp, because of the rapid advance being made by the German army toward Brussels.
