The Germans rushed in to seize them, and were brought within a circle of the Belgian main defenses. The Belgian artillery opened fire with fury.

Many buildings were damaged. Numerous fires were started. GENERAL ENGAGEMENT IS DENIED. London, Aug. 7. A North Sea clash between the British and German fleets is reported from many sources.
