Antwerp Ready for Siege.
Antwerp, Aug 22.-This city Is
being placed in a state of siege. All
foreigners will be asked leave as soon
as possible. King Albert and the
general staff are now here. The
forts are all manned and the civil
guard has been directed to act under
orders from the military Fast chan
mel steamers have been requisitioned
to carry the noncombatants to places
of safety. either in England or

sufficient to prevent the bringing up

Austrans Lose Big Battle.
Paris, Aug. 24.-The first detailed
account of the great battle between

lasted for seven days in the territory
on the frontier between Shabatz and
Losnitza. has just arrived in Paris by
telegraph from Kraguievatz, sent by
Henry Barby, war correspondent of

This battle ended in victory for
the Servians. The Austrians precipi-
lately retired, seeking to recross the
river Drina The Servian army pur-
sued them with drawn swords, infiict-
ing great slaughter When the fugi-
tives reached the bridges the artillery
had already opened fire.
Rome, Aug. PA message from

the Austrian defeat at Losnitza are
that the Austrians lost $4,000 and that
the SerYians captured eighty guns.
The Servian losses also were very
heavy.
No Invasion of France.
London, Aug. 21-The Germans
have at last occupied Brussels, but
in Alsace they seem to be making no
advance The latest report IS that
the French have recaptured Muel-
hansen and it still seems true that,
after eighteen days of fighting, here
are no German troops on French soil.
On Germany's eastern frontier
there has been considerable outpost
fighting which would indicate that
the Russians are completing Their

gives some idea Of the shock, the be-
wilderment and the panic that fell
upon Europe within AZ hours.
In Marienbad the band was play

Many guests hastily packed their
trunks and left town. Around every
bulletin board were groups of women,
red-eyed with weeping, wripging their
hands.
One woman whose husband kept a
grocery had husband and four sons

Allied Forces Clash With
German Army on His
tOrical Fields.
PRUSSIANS PRESS FORWARD
Ostend and Other Northern
Belgium Cities Captured
by Germans---Refugees
Report Artillery Duel.

London, Aug. 24-After three weeks
OF preliminary maneuvering for STRAIT
egic advantages the first great battle
OF the European war began on Satur-
day when the German army clashed
with the allied Belgian, French and
English forces on the blood soaked
historical fields between Namur and
Charleroi. Belgium.
While nothing definite is known of
the strength of the opposing forces
it is safe to assume that nearly 4OO. 600
men are engaged on each side, the
battle line extending over twenty
miles. There is no doubt that the bat
tie will rage for several days.
Refugees Tell of Clash.
Refugees from Ostend have brought
confirmation of the fact that the main
armies are now engaged. They say
that the fighting seemed to center in
the vicinity of Charleroi during the
early morning hours, but later the
scene of action shifted toward Namur
The greater portion of the German
troops, according to the refugees, have
not passed the river Bender, which
lies to the east of Client and Bruges.
although previous reports asserted
that those two towns had already been
occupied by the Germans.
Fight Artillery Duel
The roar of the heavy guns can be
heard for miles around, according to
the refugees. They say that the
heavy German artillery which on Fri
day began to lombard the strongly
fortified city of Namur, has been rein
forced by an enormous number of field
guns and that the time when they fed
the battle had not proceeded beyond
the stage of an artillery duel on an
immense scale.
Germans Make Steady Advance.
Apparently without serious check
the German advance is sweeping
through Belgium. Following the cap
ture of Brussels the troops of EN-
peror William are forcing their way
steadily and rapidly to the north and
west. The plan appears to be to over
run the whole of northern and west
ern Belgium. At the same time the
Germans appear to be drawing closer
to the French frontier Southwest of
Brussels they are investing Namur on
the Mouse.
The Germans have occupied Ostend
and Bruges. Client was captured yes
terday. The Chronicle prints a dis
patch from Folkestone saying passen-
gers arriving there from Ostend re-
port that German patriots were in
