Belgian Defense Collapses.

With this success the Belgian defense
practically collapsed. The Belgian
troops fell back rapidly from their
river lines, abandoning their heavy ar
tillery and number of machine guns.
and the Germans. who had hastily in
trenched themselves to repulse the eX-
pected counterattacl, We're able to

up by the Belgians and the lombard
ment of the city could be announced,
according to The Hague convention 10y
the afternoon of October Z. The Span
ish military attache from Brussels WAS
requested to carry the announcement
into the city.
This Pause of the operation was OF
unexpectedly short duration. After
about eighty shells had been dropped
in various quarters of the city. accord
ing to the plan earlier in the week.
the white nag appeared on forts and
of the inner girdle, and the burgo-
master came out to tender the sur
render of the city. Negotiations he
was told could only be conducted with
the Belgian military authorities, but
were nowhere to be found the ''Ceas..
fire.! was sounded and the attack sus-
pended. The troops pushed in through
the girdle of inner forts, past the nj
defended city walls and into the town
to find that the retiring garrison had
blown up-the bridge across the Scheldt
to cover their retreat. They had also
interposed between themselves ami
pursuit a belt of flame: had set fire to
the great oil tanks and covered the
surface Of the river too with oil.
The German artillery followed them
to the bridge head, and from this point
shelled the retreating forces, but their
measures had been so well taken that
most of the Belgian and British garri-
son got safely away.
German officers tell interesting
stories of this hasty retirement. TIL.
garrisons of several forts. according to
them, had no word of the evacuation
and learned that they had been de-
serted only frotl fugltives from the
town. Three forts to the west of the
city, which had not been subjected to
bombarGment held out even after the
surrender of the city, and the burgo-
master was sent out to invite them to
surrender One commander demurred,
but ultimately yielded the fort, learn
ing that the German siege guns were
trained upon it.
MANY forts were evacuated without
showing the white flag, and intrepid
volunteers made their way into them
to learn whether they were still de-
tended. One young sailor stripped and
swan the moat of a fort with the Ger
man flag between his teeth, found the
fort unoccupied. planted the flag on
the ramparts and held wild Indian
dance of triumph on the summit of the
fort.

Shell Hole at City Hall Door.

How accurately this was done in the
case of the city hall is shown by a
shell hole in the pavement at the en-
trance to the building and in a de-
molished house across the street. Some
miscalculation was evidently made
with the Church of Our Lady, which
has a shell hole eight or ten feet in
diameter in one of the transept win
dows and the adjoining wall about
thirty feet above the floor. Otherwise
this church. the pride Of Antwerp, is
unchanged.
The artillery park with which the
fortress was reduced was stronger
than was publicly known. containing in
addition to the widely heralded 1872
inch mortars a large number of l2-inch
Krupp siege guns, the existence of
which had hitherto not been mentioned
and which were in efficiency only
slightly inferior to their larger sisters.
Two Austrian automobile batteries of
Pinch guns were also attached to
Won Beseler's army, making the victory
in a way an AuStro-German one.
The effect of the great guns. seen in
the forts of Waelhem. Wavre-St. Cath
crime and the so-called railroad re-
doubt. protecting the line of the rail-
road from Brussels to Antwerp, Is even
more striking than on the forts at
Liege and south of Verdun. Two of the
big armored turrets at st. Catherine
ton with single shots. In one the
heavy steel beds for the guns are
broken in two and the heavy masses of
metal hurled bodily five OF six yards
from their original positions. In an
other the concrete embankment though
capable of resisting any shell. is
pierced like cheese and the steel turret
uprooted. A turret in the railroad re-
doubt is upended completely and now
lies with its base pointing skyward
and the gun buried below.
