Headquarters OF the Belgian Artil-
lery Establishment Behind the Allies
Front, May 2S.-Here where the Bel
gian army is making its own cannon.
its own rifles, Its own shells, its own
transport wagons, and its own saddles
and horses, one can appreciate how
other outstanding features Of the war
have unduly obscured the Belgian
military efforts since the battles Of
1914.
The Belgian army had six divisions
Of infantry and two divisions Of cav
airy left to hold line Of eighteen miles
or just about four men to the yard Of
front; front where particular vigi-
lance is required. No part Of the allies
line is more closely watched and ex-
plored by the enemy's patrols. A weak
spot would provoke an Immediate Of
fensive.
Belgium lost all her manufacturing
establishments and all her resources
in the defeat Of the allies at Charleroi
and in the retreat from Antwerp, yet
the minister Of war, Broqueville, has
built up. artillery and munitions estab-
lishments that not only enabled the
Belgian army to reply shot for shot
to the Germans on the User front, but
also contribute to the supplies of the
allied armies Fourteen thousand
@ocls;s;cn are employed in these cstah-
lishments which are using American
machines and tools. J.,
The invasion found the Belgian army
in the midst Of an entire reorganiza-
ton Of it's artillery. Siege cannon or
dered from the Kr,ipp works in Ger
many had not been furnished. Mil
lions of cartridges ordered from the
same source also had been held up. 1t
was with a disorganized armament that
the Belgians held the Germans in the
retreat to the User.
The Belgian army is new in nearly
every feature. OF the 100000 men in
the field ,and $4,000 men who gar
risoned the forts, 10000 fell into the
hands Of the Germans at Liege and
Namur, and in the retreat 10000 more
took refuge in Holland and were in
termed. Fourteen thousand were lost
on the Yser, in addition to more than
10000 killed and wounded in the battles
Of Liege and st. Trond, The reorgan-
ization was difficult. Unable to call a
session Of parliament to revise re-
counting laws to accord with the new
situation. the government could appeal
only to the patriotism Of refugees in
France and England. The response
was heroic. About 10000 men were
raised by decree calling UP all Belgians
eligible for service between 1s and 40
years Of age.
