Ger Tells Correspondent.
By Central Netcs OF London.

RRUssELs, Aug. IA special corre-
spondent who spent several days within
the German lines. and whose Identity
for obvious reasons is not revealed, says
that the Germans are b. inglng up from
Luxembourg TO the most northern limits
OF Belgium an incomprehensible number
OF men with artillery, horses and sup
plies. The spirit OF the men Is expressed
in the words OF Il German cavalry pri-
waite who said
"Our officers have told us We must
march until the whistle tells us to stop
They have told us that II takes n tnou-
sand shots to kill one man, 80 we are
not afraid We can afford TO lose
million men where the loss OF thou
sands must make the enemy halt. or at
least hesitate"
The Germans are the only people OF
Europe who are vigorously applying the
caste system, hence are able properly to
drill enormous masses of men. Every
German is prepared to march on until
victorious or until he Is killed or ordered
10 halt. The German officers do not seem
TO be men who would practise barbarities.

The Times correspondent at Namur

the French plan OF battle at Dlnant on
Saturday. The correspondent confirms
the earlier reports that the French de-
feated the Germans and drove them out
OF the town.
THE general scheme of the French
plan." the correspondent says, seemed to
be to turn the Germans out OF Dinant by
"A crushing force after having first allowed
them to enter II and. secondly. to drive
them back generally toward Rochefort, "A

chasseurs advance looking like a huge

THE French wing at D!nant had been
badly cut up and nearly routed when
suddenly the strains of the Marselllaise
resounded along the French lines. The
men rallied instantly and the lines were
reformed. With splendid gallantry they
charged, hurting themselves on the Ger

and putting them to fight"
The French casualties in the lighting
between Dinant and Namur were heavy.

GERMAN PLAN TO CUT

Now on Road From Namur to

Enemy's Centre.

l@oNDoH, August a.
A despatch from the Brussels corre-
spondent OF the Daily NetrS and Leader
says:
ION Monday morning the enemy
reached the main road from Namur to
Brussels and is repeating the tactics
used at Liege OF pressing around to
the north. Uhlans are being employed
in this business. but thus far I have not
heard OF much fightlng
THE Germans are also pressing
around to the south. but the great cut
of the Mouse and it's high cliffs are
likely to hold them, especially to pre-
vent much cavalry work.
"Namur itself IL evidently well pre-
pared to fight a tremendous battle. and
for the Germans TO surround It while
making a frontal attack would take
enormous numbers.
The Germans have however, II Is
believed drawn of little from their
northern attack or at least have con-
centrated more men between Namur
and Louva!n (the headquarters OF the
Belgian field army. BY pressing on to
Wavre they have shown their hand and
evidently plan an attempt to cut the
Belgian army In two.
1T Is obvious that the big battle
which every one Is expecting will not
come from the German side. II will not
come until they are attacked in force.
Small attacks may. however, be ex-
pected at any moment. like those at
Haelen, Eghezee and Houx. II judge
rightly the next OF these will be near
Gembloux against the French. This IA
