TOday'S War
Summary

An entire change in the plan
of campaign may be brought
about by the finding of an open
ing to the north by the German
army in Belgium. This is ad-
mitted in an official communi-
cation from Brussels which
said: THE Germans have gain
ed ground on both banks of the
Meuse and are in contact with
the allies"
Rumors that Brussels has
fallen into German hands were
persistently current in Paris,
but no confirmation was obtain
able. All approaching roads
have been barricaded and en-
trenched.
Antwerp, apparently, is the
temporary goal of the German
troops in Belgium. They are
reported to be moving slowly
but steadily in the direction of
the great fortified port on the
river Scheldt.
German soldiers have occu-
pied the town of Tirlemont and
their masses pushing in from
the frontier, are believed to
have come in contact with the
allied forces. A report from
Brussels asserts the Germans
lost 5000 killed near Charleroi.
This is not confirmed.
Reports are current in many
European quarters that Ger
many has decided not to comply
with Japan's ultimatum.
News of military develop
issued by official bureaus
becomes more brief as the
great masses of Germans and
approach the oppos-
ing forces of the Belgians,
French and British.
Princes Eitel Frederick and
August William, sons of En-
peror William, are reported to
have passed through Liege on
the way to the front.
