verse in Attempt to Check Prus-
sian Invasion of Belgium
--Namur Falls.

London, Aug. 25.-The French and
British troops opposing the invasion of
the German army in Belgium have
suffered a serious reverse, according
to the official announcement issued by
the French war Office. In the battle
line, which extends from Mons to the
Luxembourg frontier, several army
corps, composed of both British and
French, took the offensive on Sunday
against the Germans, but their plan of
attack failed, owing to unforeseen
difficulties" as described by the Off
cial statement, and the troops retired
on the covering positions.
The losses on both sides are report
ed as extremely heavy, and the French
officials describe the Germans as being
obliged to establish themselves in
fresh positions in Lorraine.
Germans Capture Namur.
Namur has been captured by the
Germans, according TO official an
nouncement. The fortress upon which
the allies placed their main depend
ence to hold in check the advancing
hordes of the German main strength
after they had swept past Liege has
given way before the advance of the
enemy.
Namur is at the Junction of the
Mouse and Sambre rivers. It's fall with
out a word of warning or any such pro-
longed siege of guns as was deemed
necessary to reduce it to submission
before the German advance indicates
that the attack must have been sud-
den, sharp and terrific and that the
main strength of the German field
forces must have centered for the
time being on this one objective.
charIeroi Battle Continues.
The lighting at Charleroi continues.
The armies are engaged in combat on
both sides of the River Sambre. The
furious cannonading ceased yesterday
afternoon, but was resumed in the ev-
ening with renewed intensity. Echoes
of the thunder of the great guns can
be heard as far as Maubeuge, France.
A dispatch from Paris said it was
officially announced that Luneville,
Amance, and Dieuloard, in the depart
ment of Meurthe-et-Mo had been
occupied by the Germans.
Germans Claim Big Victory.
From Berlin there comes a message
saying official announcement was
made there today that the German
army commanded by Grand Duke AL
brecht of Wurtemberg had defeated
the French army at Neufchateau 1t
captured many guns, flags, and pris-
oners, including several generals

Clash on Historical Fields.
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 100000
men are engaged on each side, the
