correspondent of the Express, who
says that he witnessed it from a
church tower at Tirlemont first and
later proceeded to Louvain. He
says:
"Tirlemont was quiet and nor-

sound of the first German gun. The
artillery had opened fire.
"From the church tower it was
possible to see distinctly the posi-
tion of the German guns and the
bursting of their shells. The'Bel-
gians replied from their poo-sition.

smoke, tearing up the peaceful

shells began to strike she houses in
