don today from Brussels, which city he
left last Thursday. He said today that
John T. McCutcheon. of Chicago; irwin
Cobb, Of New York. and MIR. Hanson,
of Chicago, all correspondents, were
safe in Brussels when he left. Referr-
ing to the military situation in Bel
GUM, he said:
1.-The German auto trucks are mar
vel Equipped with scythes, they NOV
right thru hedges and wire fences If the
roads do not suit the drivers. These
trucks are heavily armored. They en-
abled the German forces to make forty
miles day. The number of these
trucks seems unlimited.
1T is estimated that 10000 German
troops have made their way thru Brus-
sells and that 100000 move south OF
Brussels. The troops which passed
thru Brussels later engaged the Brit
ish forces"
Disersdits Stories Of Atrocities.

OF which I believe. In many cases Bel

soldiers from inside of buildings This
was the case in Brussels and elsewhere
and the men in buildings from which
shots were fired, were executed.
"F'rom what l have heard l believe
the Germans have wedged into the al
lies and that they are nos keeping a
straight front to the enemy. The line
of fighting from NamIr south has been
a zig-zag and nothing like what stra-
tegists have guessed.

suILDlNcs TO sE aAzED.
Environs Of France to ss Prepared
For Attack on City.

Washington, Aug. GA circle of
country thirty four miles in length will
be swept Of buildings II the order Of
the military governor Of Paris, that
residents Of the zone OF action" Of the
French capitals defending forts burn
their homes in anticipation of siege
IS correctly interpreted here. 1t Is
supposed the order refers to the sub
urban territory just beyond the city's
second line of defenses, composed Of
seventeen connecting forts.
These are located in wide circle
about two miles outside of the inner
wall which surrounds Paris. They lie.
for the most part, among famous
suburban towns, such as Neuilly. Ver-
sailles. Vincennes, and sweep every ap-
proach Of the city. 1t Is assumed that
the governors order il intended to SO
clear the way In front OF these defenses
that no protection will be affordedy an
advancing enemy.
The order probably applies also to
the outer circles Of the city's triple
line OF defenses. These are the most
modern Of the forts. They are built
Of steel and masopry-a and Known to be
equipped with the heaviest guns OF
the famous French artillery, altho de-
tails a. to their armament have been
closely guarded. They are located
among the hills, however, and while
it may be necessary to destroy mum
erous buildings In order to open the
country to the fre OF their guns. it is
thought the destruction will not be of
such wholesale proportions as in the
case Of the second line Of forts which
are embedded among costly dwellings
and thriving towns.
Something Of the magnitude of the
defense OF Paris is shown by estimates
that only an army of half a million
men coul hope to invest them and
cut them of from the outside world.
Some Of the forts still bears the names
under which they resisted the Ger
man assaults in 1870, but they have
been remodeled and newly equipped.
many times. as the science Of gum
merry progressed. and today are con-
sidered by military experts among the
strongest defence works in the world.
The two outer lines are 20 placed
that each fort has cross IRE over

guns of adjoining forts. The result IL

;yancing on any position.
