patch to the Daily Express from the

states that the iermans and Celgians
are fighting bitterly at Hiest and
Aerschot on Lieir way to Antwerp
This news Is causing the greatest un
easiness here For the first time in
the present crisis ihe Dutch realize
the terrible peril which the Germans
have brought to their very doors, for
Germany's advance on Brussels can
have no other object than an attack
on Antwerp C ompetent military cir
cles hero believe that the march on
Brussels was resorted to only as a
sequel to the complete failure of the
German plan of sudden attack on
France. Had Liege not resisted, Ger
many might have remained faithful
to her original plan.
"But Uepe held up the whole Ger
man army for ten days during which
the Belgian government poured am
munition and men into N'amur, thus
preparing for a much longer defense
than was the case at Liege Should
the German armies be heal up at N'a

will, the keenest disappointment will
be felt In Germany A Belgian diplo
mat told me today ;
"They will never get Namur, Liege

Prince Henry, who before their mar

boy, whose name was Willie, the Sen

One evening a veteran of the Civil
War was a guest at the house, and af

parlor and listened to a recital of the
veteran's adventures.
"It was no picnic. I assure you "
feelingly continued the veteran " "In

"When the Germans brought their
heavy artillery Into play In front of

to evacuate the place in order to save
the beautiful and historic city from

Germans without any demonstration,
because of the practical good sense
of the Belgians, which teai-lie.-, them
that resistance after their army is
driven back is fruitless and because
of their supreme confidence that the
British and French will eventually
drive the Germans out of Belgium.
"The Belgian officials are warning
the people not to attempt reprisals
because that would bring reprisals on
them You can hear any kind of ru
mor in Brussels and If the Germans
are determined to attack in force
Brussels will be taken unless the al
lies decide to resist for the sake of
the possession of the town
' The Germans have been using
their cavalry with great audacity and
sometimes with more audacity than
skill They have sent their cavalry
as scouts in all directions and some
reports of battles have been no more
than reconnaissances in force, in
which the Germans used both cavalry
and Infantry and some guns, with
either one of two purposes. They
either were aiming to cover their
flank by these continuous threats or
else were ascertaining the Belgian dis.
positions with a view to an attack
in force.
Honors With Belgians.
"The honors are with the Belgians
in these combats Their bicycle
corps, pedaling rapidly on fine roads,
have responded instantly to the
alarms. The country is wholly un
