FLED BEFORE THE GERMANS
People of Louvain•. Thrown ; into Wild Panic When
Enemy Approached
A despatch from ''London says:
Tile Kaasee'eforcies, aro in ooe 1pa-
tion of Bru•stefs, the capital of Bel -
Own, end's'city already rich in,the
history of warfare and in art and
culture.'Once strongly •fortified --
the "headgnamtees * f'::the Duke of
Wellington before Waterloo—Brus-
•sels for years, has. • been without
armament with which to resist at-
tack,'and the Belgian's preferred Is
sieve 'the city' from el'estrnotion''Iby
abandoning .it rather ' then to at-
tempit ,a formidable defence, ;eepe-
tciudly as the position is not sup-
posed to be regarded by the allies
ass, of strategic importance..
The fighting at Tirlemont and
Louvain is described by the'Osteind
correspondent, of tie. Express,who
says that lie .witnessed 11 from a.
church tower. at Tirlemont first and
Tater proceeded to Louvain. $e
says:—
"Tirdemont"was ,quiet and nor-
mal.. Suddenly therecame the
sound of the first German gun, The
artillery tied opened fire.
"From •the church tower it was
possible to sere distinctly the posi-
eion of the German guns' and the
bursting of tiheir shells. The Bel-
gians replied from their position
east of Louvain. It was a• striking
sight tothe accompaniment of the.
ceaseless thud of bursting shells
with their puffs of cotton -like
smoke, tearing up the peaceful
wheat fields not very far away,
"Gradually working nearer, the
shells began to strike the houses in
Tirlernont. This was a signal for
the populace, which heretofore had
been confident that tale Belgians
would protect them, to fly blindly.
and unreasoningly,' AJ1 they ;knew'
was that, the Germans were'eoming.'
,,From the tower the seene was like.
the rushing of rats from e,distnrbed
hese, The `people llecl in every di-'
rection except one. -
Lou`ain in Panic.
"I moved down to- Louvain,
where eye"rything seemed quiet and
peaceful. The people sat' in the
cafes drinking their evening beer
'and smoking. Meanwhile the Bel-
gian troops were retiring in- good
order towards Louvain.
"By midnight the town was in
the throes of. a °panic. Long before
midnight throngs of refugees had
begun to arrive followed later by
soldiers. By eleven o'clock the,
Belgian rear guard was engaging
the enemy at the railroad bridge
at the entrance to the town. ,
"The firing was heavy, The
wounded began:to.come in, Rider-
less, horses came along, both Ger-
man .and Belgian. Those were
caught and mounted by civilians,•
glad, to have sa, .rapid .a mode of
escape:
"I remember watching a black -
clad Belgian woman running
straight down the middle of a road-
way from the Germans. Behind her
came the retiring Belgian troops,
disheartened but valiant. This wo-
men, clad in mourning; was the
symbol of the Belgian populace.
"At scone of the barricades along
the route,• the refugees and sol-
diers arrived simultaneously, mak-
ing the defence difficult. All
about Tirlemont and Louvain the
refugees continually interfered with
the work of the troops. The road
to Brussels always was crowded
with refugees.''

Detaiked Story of the Progress of
the Great Advance 11o1'enlent.
A despatch ,from London says:
The Amsterdam, correspondent of
Re titer's Telegram Co. sends the
following detailed ,account of the
advance of the Germans across
Central Belgium during the pre-
sent week. The :aecount as sent by
the correspondent was taken from
an Antwerp newspaper. It follows :
"Tuesday morning ,dire great ad-
vance movement began along a
lane extending in *a broad V from
Diest to T'lrlemont:end St. Tiiond.
The Belgians retired from St.
Trend., as the Germans outnumber-
ed the Belgian edvanoo gutted Tlhe•,.
filst. Belgian battle line extended
along a line of'abo,'ut 25 miles .and
included .Diest Ilaelen, Geebetz,
1 eerlintei• and Tilllemon1.
The latter city was guarded by
cavalry detac:hanem# s only, while on
the other end of n ,hoe the bur -
dem of defense at `Diest was taken
by bicyclic. aharpsho,cters.
`The battle eta,`ted, at daybreak
Tuesday near Geebetz, where 'tee
Belgians gained tile first blood by
bringing down si German a,ero-
plane welch was seoutdng above bhe
Belgian position.At-G o'clock' the
Germans opened their attach with
large forces ot eay.alry, supported
by infeniry,'aatille•1y said machine

aimed to break through the Belgian
line at GeebetzWhen 'the 'dis-
mounted
isnounb d Belgian fiat elect, poured in
. terrific fire, anndi•iliating the Ger-

'the .German' cavalry executed a
daring brilliant lilank moven,erie
around the -Bel ions, necessitating.

"The most remarkable .stand was
'made outside Buclingen by two
8e1 Ban squadrons 240ofr ... who
b
ndn
opposed fora long time 2,000 Ger-
mans.
"On the extreme north the Ger
mans stormed Diest, bombarding
the town furiously and destroying
a large pant of the city.
"Late' Tuesday the Belgian head-
quarters, having leaa+ned the
enemy's strength from aevoplau-
ists, decided .time furtiher• resist-
' anoe along this advanced line

gel -Ideal retirement.
Wednesday a tremendous beetle
along the whole Eine continued.
The hottest fighting was near A.ers-
' chpt, 23 miles north-east of Brim-
' eels, where the aer•n:age on both
,sides, was awful. The advance
guard of two Belgian regiments
made a heroic stand, but Was fore=
ed 10 retreat at 7 o'clock in the
evening.
"At 11 o'clock the Germans
reached Louvain in :motorcars a,rni-

orres-pendient says that the Germans are
using a bayonet with teeth on i'b,
which slips in easily, but tears the
flesh bo pieces in the process of

the Prussian bullet, by reason of
i,ts extreme pointedness, is saving

AN 1866 LESSON.
How Germany Had Planned a Se-
dan for Great 'Britain.
Lord Cromer, in a letter which
appears in a late issue of the Lon-
don "Spectator" sad s :
"A septuagenarian may eperhaps
profitably .remind his eotinkrymen .
of events which Happened some
fifty years a,go, ` and of which the
presemt,generation may possibly be
on mindful.'
"In 1866 Napoleon III. allowed
himself' to be lulled into security by
Prussian assurances and ,stood aside
whilst Austria was crushed at Se-
dowa. He paid dearly for his ne-
glect four yeaa•a later at Sedan.
"Had we declined to stand by the
gallant French nation in the pre-
eent emergency, not only •should we
have rightly incurred the scorn and
derision el the civilized world, but
infallibly, should the Germans have
succeeded in crushing the French
and: the Russians, they would have
endeavored to prepare a Sedan for
us before the lapse of many years.
The analogy ,appears to me to be
Hking."

Losses of Belgians Heavy

The

Alost, Belgium, 15 miles north-
west of Brnuscels, sayse
"The Belgians evacuated Lonvaan
after a bloody battle, in w•hic,h they
admit ,their dosses were enormous,
They fought against fearful odds,
and were driven°back."
The Daily Mail's Antwerp corres-
pondent, Col. Fadrdvolm,e, in,ilitary
attache to the British Legation,
says the situation of t -he allies is
entirely favorable.' He declares
that the Germans have lost ten days
on their programme, while the allies
have carried out their programme
without ,the slightest delay.
