Enormous German Force
Hurled Agalnst Allies
In Belgian Fightrng

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The combined
German armies OF the Mouse and the
first army of the Moselle are today
attacking the allied lines near Brus'
sells. They are forced to advance
against strongly entrenched positions
which are heavily supported by thou
sands of pieces of French artillery
The German advance during the last
two days OF fighting has been very
slow, but none the less steady. Per-
sistent reports that Louvain fell be-
fore the German advance are received
from Brussels and are accepted by
military experts as to be expected,
although the Belgian war ONCE still
insists that the Belgian advanced
line there has withstood the German
attack.
Namur Is In danger. German In.
fantry with plenty Of artillery has

lions while another force. operating
from an entrenched position near
Gembloux Is moving from the north
and the city is enveloped. II Is OBJ
vious from meager dispatches filter
ing through from French sources that
the French army In Belgium and
along the northern French border Is
far larger than had been deemed pos
sible and many military experts here
declare that II is numerically superior
to the German invading forces.
The losses have been enormous on
both sides. The bringing into action
OF the artillery Of both sides has
added to the slaughter The lines
fronting the battle scene are covered
with dead and wounded, but so Tar
neither side has been able to gather
their wounded and the suffering must
be intense.
The Belgian war ONCE, In review
ing the situation, insisted today that
despite the continued German ad-
vance the moral effect OF the opera
tons has been victory for Belgium.
The German troops on the north side
Of the Meuse have succeeded In gain
ing the ground to bring them into
contact with the allies. 1t Is stated.
After explaining that small bodies OF
Germans have been able to penetrate
far into Belgium, the Belgian state
ment says;
Fighting is proceeding on the
whole front. extending from Basic.
Switzerland, TO Diest, Belgium. and
In these numerous contacts the more
the opposing armies approach each
other the more one must expect to
hear Of an advantage on one side and
q yielding on the other.
