GERMAN TROOPS
NEARING CHIEF
CITY OF BELGIUM
Aeroplanes Are Scouting Above
Brussels and Hospitals Are
Filled with Wounded

Brussels, Aug. S.-CTuesday).-Via
London, Aug. 20, $50 A. M.-The war
evidently is rapidly drawing nearer
filled with wounded soldiers. German
aeroplanes have been seen scouting
above the city after shutdown.
German cavalry is reported frequent
ly in the region on the farther side
of the forest of Soignes, which TANKS
the city. This forest is the point from
which the attack is most likely to
come in the opinion of many here, and
a network of trenches has been thrown
up along the woods. The trenches are
occupied by burghers and a few civil
guards. The forest of Soignes, which is
to the southeast of Brussels, extends
in the direction of Wavre, where Sc
we're fighting has been reported.
Trustworthy reports have just been
received of an engagement near Char
leroi. 1t is claimed by the Belgians that
5000 Germans We're killed in this bat
tie.
The censorship here is now so strict
that no news of the war is going out
of the city except by courier.
The Belgian papers because of the
rigid censorship, have ceased to be
sources of war news They are pub
fishing chiefly local matters unconnect-
ed with the war. The mails also are
being held up.
An order has been issued prohibiting
the granting of further military passes
to newspaper men or others to go out
side the city.
The populace does not appear I'M
duly excited over the prospect of fight
ing in their streets. The crowds seem
placid and the people are attending to
their business as usual.

SMALL WARS MEAN BIG POEMS
Greatest Battle Hymns Have NOT
Been Inspired by Titanic strug-
giles Like the Present One.

The greatest poems have been writ
ten about little wars. The Iliad was
written around a siege carried on by
a handful of barbarian chieftains
against a city Of the second class. The
battle of Chevy Chase was a border
skirmish following upon a cattle-steal'
ing expedition. And Kipling's imperial
muse is at her best when she sings
of petty wars with colored tribesmen.
Britain's far-fung battle line was far
flung against Dervishers and Afrid1s;
it was seldom brought into collision
with field intrenchments and siege ar
tillery. Little war, or else big wars
In anticipation of retrospect, these are
the rich soil for the poet.
A great war in the actual. the rate
of an empire truly at stake, may make
poets out of the common crowd, but
subdues the poet to the level of the
common crowd. There is a solemn tone
about Kipling's latest verse which has
its effect. Only it is not exhortatlon
we wanted, but exultation; not an ap'
peal, but a clarion call. When an en-
tire nation Is aflame the poet Is apt to
find his mission rather ~perfunctory.
