Brussel«.—The German army Is be­

heart of Belgium. The main body of
the German cavalry Is engaged In a
forward movement all along the front

An official report says communica­

A report was received at Wend-
ling that fire had started between
Wendling and the camps 10 miles
above. As yet it has not been
verified.
The smoke which fills the valley
is caused by three fires. One at
Mabel, which has been burning
for two weeks in old slashings
and covering 200 acres, assumed
serious proportions this morning
and a force o f men was rushed
from Marcola. The fire at Donna,
which has been burning for a
week, is advancing slowly, despite
the efforts o f a large force o f pa­
trolmen. The third fire is small
