morning and the Germans did not en-

correspondent in Belgium SAYS,
By midnight Thursday it was clear
that further resistance to the attack
ing German army was vain and the
field forces and garrison forces ON our
side began to be withdrawn to the
west side of the river Scheldt.
Throughout the night of Thursday the
citizens who remained in the city had
every prompting to terror. Smoke from
burning oil tanks enveloped the city
in dark pail to which the flames of
burning houses gave lining of lurid
yellow. Through this pail shrieking
shells of rs eentimeter guns crashed
like thunderbolts as they sent buildings
actually pouring into the streets. Be.

Many Had Resolved to Stay

out in fight. 1t was the last and most
pitiful exodus for those citizens. They
passed to the Dutch frontier or to-

death from bombardment.

Vile it was evident that important
business was afoot, as officials hurried
to and fro with anxious faces. At s
