ENGLAND WARNED TO
 EXPECT GREAT WAR
Newspaper Man Says Eventually England Must Bear Brunt of Battles and Has Only Handful of Men Now on Belgian Soil to Oppose Germany.

London, Aug. 21.--1f p. m.-The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Gvet, Belgium, who has been travers- ing the French advanced posts in the Mouse river valley, says he expects the next determined efforts by the Germans will be against Namur and nearby places, where he says the Ger mans are mobilzed for a slashing effort to plunge their great army into France.
 An army corps now on the way from Rochefort, the correspondent thinks, will be hurled squarely against the French frontier.
 "The Germans" the correspondent continues, "aIready have made tenta- tive assaults at every point along the Mouse wherever it's crossing is fea- sibIe. The war is no child's play. SolemnIy warn the English that ths is only the beginning of time Of great trial
 "The English army, [ think, event ually must accept the heaviest bur den of the fighting. We have a hand ful of men here on the fighting line, but more must come and many lives must be sacrificed to dam this en euIfing flood"

Occupation of Brussels.

London, Aug 22.-2:40 am.-The Daily Telegraph's Brussels correspond. ent, earoute to the frontier. has sent the following account of the German entry into Brussels:
 By 2 o'clock in the morning the city was surrounded by German caval- " which systematically seized the railway and telegraph offices and posted pickets at the cross roads. When this enveIopment was com pleted a full German army corps marched through Brussels.
 The first troops to enter the city were the famous Black Brunswick Hussars, wearing the well known deaths head badge Their horses were exhausted. Then came q pha- lanX of German infantry which took possession of the Brussels barracks and heights. Regiment after fegi. ment quietly piled their arms, looking rather weary but determined and fit" 7"

Plans Still Unknown.

London, Aug. 22.-2 a. m.-Little | has become known of the operations early in the wweek which put the German army between the Belgian forces and their French allies and enabled the Germans to occupy Brds- sells.
 It is believed the Germans brought up strong forces behind their cav airy screens and that severe bait @ must have been fought to compei the Belgians to abandon Brussels and retire on Antwerp.
 Whether the French forces were engaged with the Belgians is not known. No information is available as to whether the Germans intend to devote themselves to reducing Ant- werp or to an endeavor to force their way southward into France.
 It seems. however that the deter imitation is to attack the Belgian army of l500O0 men who still are in or around Antwerp. The Germans already are advancing in the direc- tion of Ghent They have occupied Alost, l5 mics northwest of Brussels, and Wetteren, eight miles southeast of Ghent, and apparently intend to overrun the whole of northern Bel gium to the sea. Cavalry patrols have been as far as Mechlin (Mali nes), four miles southeast of Ant werp, and it may be heard before long that the Germans have occupied Ghent and Bruges and possibly even Ostend.
 If this is their decision, however, a i clear invasion of France through Beieium must be much longer de- layed.
 The German general has imposed a war tax of $40,000,000 on the city of | Brussels.

Bloody Fighting in Belgium.

London, August 22.--1:30 a.m.-The Reuter- Telegram Company's Amster- dam correspondent sends the follow ing detailed account of the advance of the Germans across Central Belgium this week The account was taken from an Antwerp newspaper 1t reads.
 Tuesday morning the great ad- vance movement began along a line extending in a broad V from Diest to IirlmOnt and St Trond The B el- glans retired from St Trond as the Germans outlumbered the Belgian ad. vance guard The first Belgian battle line extended along a line 25 miles and included Diest tIae en, Gcetbetz Neelinter and Tirlemont.
 Trmout was guarded by cavalry Attachments only while on the other end of the line the burden of defense at pest was taken by Bicycle sharp shooters.
 The battle started at daybreak Tuesday near Geetbetz, where the Bel elans gained the first blood by bring Ing down a German aeroplane. At o'clock the Germans opened their at tack with large forces of cavalry, sup ported by infantry and artillery with machine guns. Within a few minutes fierce battle was raging along the Six mic front.
 In the north the German right wing attacked Haelen and Loxbergen. n the south it attacked Budingen. ne main attack was aimed to break through the Belgian line at Geetbetz, Where the dismounted Belgian cavalry poured in terrific fire which anni- llated the German advance column.
 iherelpon the German cavalry exc cuted a daring flank movement around the Belgian positions necessi- la'lng tae retirement of the Belgians.
 The most remarkable stand was made outside Budiagen by two Bel sAh squadrons of 240 men, who op- posed Tor long time 1000 Germans.
 on the extreme north the Ger mans stormed Diest, bombarding the 'owh furiously and destroying large part of the city.
