Dragoons Killed in Dash Into Barricade By Associated Press London, Aug. 14, 0:10 a. m.—The Daily Mail's Brussels correspondent, described the engagement at Haelen as showing that the Belgians have passed another good test. He says that intermittent booming of heavy guns was audible all morning. This was punctuated about 11 o'clock by sharp detonations, as the Belgians blew up the brigades over the river Gette just in the nick of time. They were under shrapnel fire and the Ger man cavalry was just dbouching to cross. With the bridges destroyed, the fight resolved itself into an artillery duel, the shrapnel bursting and leav ing a long trail of white smoke. In the meantime a squadron of Mecklenburg dragoons, with rather re duced effectiveness, endeavored to penertate the town of Diest at a gal lop. About a mile from the town they dashed into a barricade of wag ons' lined by Belgian infantry. The Germans had their revolvers drawn and charged directly at the barricade. The Belgians behind the barricade opened murderous fire and all the dragoons were either killed or taken prisoners. The only living things to surmount the barrier were seven rider less horses maddened by fear. The Germans then tried to reduce resistance at this point by a cross fire from a battery but after an in terval ceased firing and owing to sim ilar repulses on other positions of their front withdraw in disorder, according to some accounts, to the other side of Gette. Only two Belgians were wounded. In front of the barricade the Germans lay like a hedge.

(The French liner Chicago sailed from Havre for New Yook at 2 o'clock this ! morning and the French of the same line sails at 1 o'clock this afternoon.

J London Correspondent Says Belgians Make a Habit of Success By Associated Press London. Aug. 14, 3 A. M. —The Post correspondent with the Belgian army sends the following: "The success of the Belgian array has been astonishing. Every where along the line of outposts the Germans meet with baffling checks. Like an angry dog faced by a porcupine, the vaunted Brussian army stands puzzled. "I do not wish to exaggerate the facts or to pretend that the Belgians are winning a series of important bat tles. Their success so far are all in trinsically small, but they are making a habit of success. All dread of the Prussians is gone and that is a most valuable gain. "Yesterday I walked some distance with a soldier who was on his way from Brussels to one of the Liege forts Clearly, therefore, the Liege forts are not closely invested, when individual soldiers can come and go. "The Belgians jokingly wonder when the German military skill will begin to show itself. The auracity of the Uhlan raids seems nothing more than the audacity of bewilderment, like men who passed from behind. In con tact with the Belgian cavalry, the Uh lans showed inferiority. Moreover, j neither the artillery nor infantry has i shown brilliancy. "As an actual fact the attitude of | the Germans to-day is almost defen sive; certainly it is not offensive in I any spirited sense."

The Ainerican liner Philadelphia came up the bay last niglit with, more than 1,000 men and women who fled the home land at the | war cry in Europe. They were a gav company, bringing grim tales of the call to arms, and while their faces brightened at the gleam of lights along the American shore. their thoughts were of those who had been left be hind. . They hud seen the confusion that followed the order to mobilize the troops of France. They were in Eng land when the word came that Ger many iiad invaded Belgium, and they saw the streets of London till with men clamoring to be olf to the front.
