In doing 'so it contributed in a most effective mariner to securing' the left wing of the Trench army. It exhibited in this task of devotion, energy and perseverance, to which I must now pay niy tribute—qualities which will be shownagain to -morrow and snake certain the triumph of cur 'amnion cause. The French army will never forget the ,services ren- dered it. endered'it. Our .army is inspired with the same spirit of sacrifice and the determination to conquer which animates the British forces, and will make good to them its debt of gratitude in the battles of the near future.A' ANNEX T13 NAVAL HOSPITAL Admiralty '1las Accepted Proposal as Alternative For Hospital Ship Scheme Al despatch frofit.

Intellectual Metropolis of the Belgian ry 1 � Lower Countries a Mass of Ruins A despatch from London says: The wa.r information bureau aa;n- nounees the following:-' "The Belgian MinisterForeign Affairs reports that a German army corps after .receiving a check with- drew in disorder to the city of Lou- vain. The Germans on guard at the entrance of the city mistaking the nature of this incursion fired upon their countrymen, who they mistook for Belgians. "In spite of the denials from the authorities the Germans, in order to cover their mistake, 'pretended that it was the inhabitants who had fired en them, whereas the inhabi- tants, including the police, all had been disarmed more than a week before. "'Without inquiry and without lis- tening to any protest, the German ooratnander announced that the town would be destroyed immedi .ately, The inhabitants were order- ed to leave their dwellings and some were rade prisoners. The wo- men and children were placed on trains, the destination of which aro not known, and soldiers furnished with bombs set fire to tall pans of the city. The splendid church of St. Petror, the university' buildings, the library and scientific establish- ments were delivered to the flames. "Several notable citizens were shot. The city, which ,had a popu- lation of 45,000 and was the antes leetual metropolis of the low coun- tries, ' is now nothing more than a heap of ashes." Russians Sink Garman Cruiser A despatch from Berlin 'says : The light cruiser Madgebdrg ran ashore during an engage:men=t in a fog on the Island of Odensburg, in the Gulf of Finland. Owing to thick weather ether German war- ships in the vicinity were unable to render assistance, and all efforts to float the vessel having failed,. the captain decided to sacrifice his ship as a superior Russian naval force was attacking. Under a heavy fixe from the Rus- sian fleet a majority of the cruis- er's erew was saved by the Ger- man torpedo 'boat V-20. Seventeen men were killed, 25 wounded and 85, including the captain, are 'miss- ing and are probably prisoners, The Madgeburg was blown up. The survivors reached Germany to -day.

It is expected that within 24 hours passenger train service will be practically suspended by a flood of freight traffic brieging to the capital supplies to stock the Gov - eminent storehouses. The freig trains are already being made up at towns in the centre of the agri- cultural distriet. The Government is taking pre- cautions to send most of the wounded to Southern and Western Brance, and a few to Paris. Re- fugees from telgium and l‘Torthern France are not permitted to re- main there. This eity is simply a way station towards southern and western towns. Americans and other foreigners in the capital are heginning to un- derstand that their presence in the city not he desirable. EVER,Y MIN IS NEEDED. Britain Will Require 600,000 or More Nen.

The despatch adds that forty per cent. of the soldiers in the reserves failed to respond to the call to the colors, and there have been many desertions.
