FOOD And KISSES FOR BELGIANS;
GEAMAN PRISONERS HALF STARVED
Slaughter of The Kaiser Coluqry Depicted Haeen BY Brit
ish Correspondent the FrontKing of the Beons in
Command at LouUain. Tenderness for the Wounded

"a general engagement followed il
which the Germans were emphatically
worsted. The troops rested on their
guns during the night, and at dawn the
Germans advanced again. But this
was a halfhearted attempt, and soon
was repulsed, although the kaiser's
forces were able to carry away many
of their wounded.
Their losses were very great, the
lowest estimate being 1000 and the
highest 1000.
"At Louvain we found the king N
consultation with the general staff. His
majesty, dressed in a generals fed
uniform, was smiling and confident.
Tonight all roads leading towar
Brussels are crowded with mournful
professions of Red Cross wagons,
bringing in the wounded, both Bel
gians and Germans.
From examinations of the German
wounded and prisoners it is clear that
accounts are correct as to the bad state
of the invaders commissariat. The
men are half starved, and their horses
are in poor condition.
Tonight every dispatch rider with
this quarter of the Belgian army has
the shake of a German cavalryman to
show as a trophy.
Soldiers returning from the front
are greeted along the road by innum-
cradle women and children, who han l
them bottles of wine, bread, and meat,
to be repaid with kisses, and show
great tenderness to the wounded"

London, Aug. 18.-One of the morn
ing papers has received an interesting
though heavily censored, dispatch, by
way of Brussels, from correspondent
who was at the front during Wednes-
day and Thursdays fighting. The place
from which his message was sent was
eliminated by the censor, as was also
the location of the engagement he de-
scribed. But apparently he was re-
ferring to a conflict in the vicinity of
Diest and Haelen.
81 left section of the Belgian army
last night" he says, Standing upon a
position which 1 may not record, after
having performed a feat or arms which
has added greatly to the confidence of
the defending forces.
This position, we'll east of Brussels,
was at a triangle based upon a rail-
way line with its apex pointed north
east. The apex was to be held by in
trenched infantry, supported by artil-
lery. The intention was that if a
heavy German attack developed there
would be withdrawal toward thu
base of the position.
THE German attack, however, came
in unexpected form. A cloud of cavalry
appeared first, followed by a strong
artillery force, which shelled the Bel
gian position heavily.
For the infantry to have left the
trenches would have meant it's expos
ure to heavy loss in retiring and would
have left the way open to the Germans.
So the order was given for the Bel
gians to hold their position to the last.
"It was nobly obeyed. The battalion
suffered severely, but stood fast until
the Belgian reinforcing artillery came
up and engaged the big guns of the
enemy. Then the battalion left the
trenches, not to retire, but to advance
and attack the German invaders.
