range across the actual field of Waterloo. Army Has Done Its Work. The war office admitted that ; the Belgians have fallen back from in front of Brussels, but says that the Belgians had done the work they were expected to do. “The bulk of the Belgian army,” says the bulletin, “confronted by superior numbers, has fallen back. Communication with Brussels has been difficult. 1 ' The bulk of the Belgian army will now take refuge behind the powerful itortifications of Antwerp and leave to .(French and British troops the task of Smeeting the onrush of the German »rmy. 4,000 Germans Repcvl-d Kl’led. In a battle at Charleroi, where the French army is massed, 4,000 Germans were killed, according to a dispatch from Antwerp transmitted ’through Paris By BERNARD BELANCOURT. Brussels, Aug. 21.—Louvain, the beautiful town from which King Albert directed the movements Qt the Belgian army that is 80 heroically defending its country, was occupied by the Germans. The Belgian troops •evacuated before the advance of an Overwhelming force of Germans after a severe bombardment. The Belgian troops are withdrawing from Louvain back toward Antwerp. The Belgians at Louvain held a strong position, upon which the big army of Germans, supported with heavy artillery, advanced from three separate directions. A gallant stand was made by the Belgians until the Germans unlimIbered their heavy guns and began a ■crushing bombardment. The German gunners worked like demons loading and firing the great cannons and the roar of the artillery was deafening. Belgian Withdraw to Save City. It was finally decided that in order to save the ancient an£ beautiful town from destruction the Belgians should draw off and take other positions. tVhen the Belgians fell back the fire of the cannonade died down and the T hlans were advanced to cut down the stragglers. After the fight Louvain presented a terrible spectacle of the ravages of war. Dead and wounded filled the Toad ways. Riderless horses, some of them wild from the pain of wounds, dashed across the ground trampling the dead and dying. Roman Catholic monks of the Ca rpurhin order moved among the wonuoded administering spiritual consolation while shrapnel kicked furrows into the ground around them. Some rs these monks were covered with dirt thrown up by bursting shells and the blood of wounded men whom they had lifted in their arms. . Belgians Fought Bravely. . The Belgians fought bravely, but their courage was of no higher order than that of the Germans. The German officers realized that an advance in the direction of Brussels would result in heavy loss of life because of the large numbers of Belgians defending the town and because of their defensive works and artillery. But the German ranks did not falter as the pushed into the whirlwind of fire which greeted tfilm. Advancing 1 ' in close formation the Tanks of the kaiser’s army were swept with a terrific machine gun fire. The fields became clogged with dead and dying, over which the advancing host stumbled. The Belgian riflemen, crouching behind their earthworks, poured forth a merciless fire, almost every bullet finding a mark. When the order was given to take the Belgian works with the cold steel, the Germans moved forward like a huge, compact machine, their bayonets bristling along the line like gigantic thorns of a hedge. The fire of the German artillery was wonderfully effective, many shells bursting in the Belgian trenches’
