LONDON, August 20.
The great battle between the Germans

ing. during which the Germans had

It Is not expected that this great
battle, of greater magnitude than any
of the famous battles of history, will
reach a decisive stage for some days
A Rotterdam despatch published In a
Times extra to-day quotes Kobendaal
dispatches. dated Saturday afternoon,
saying that soon after leaving Brussels

Germans suddenly turned toward the
southwest. According to tho corre-
spondent the German strategists regard
this move, apparently directed against
Lille, together with the march on Valen-
ciennes. as a surprise for tho allies and
believe that II will oblige the latter to
change their front.

Refugees from Brussels tell me that
the Germans have been pouring In q

and westward. The columns are de-
scending by the great roads on either
side Of Enghien and are apparently
aiming at Valenciennes. They are
moving with great speed. Further to
the northwest. on the line between
Client and Dixmude, advance parties
have appeared and have done damage at
Thiel and Lichtervelde.
The disposition here is to see in this
movement an enlightenment of Bruges
and Ostend. Others suggest that Il
means a dash on Roubaix.
The refugees say that the conduct OF
the Germans in Brussels remains good.
German soldiers walk about alone smok-
Ing cigars. of which they had their
helmets full when they entered the city.

is not stationed there now. The Ger
