Food and Kisses for Belgians After Brave Rout of Germans
A censored Brussels dispatch from the front reports Belgian forces near Mleest and Haelen resisting a German attack with a brave infantry stand. Belgians held a northeast triangle position, then counterattacked as reinforcements came up, inflicting heavy losses on the Germans. King Albert observed with his staff at Louvain as wounded were ferried in and Red Cross wagons crowded the roads. Women offered wine, bread, and meat to returning troops, repaid with kisses, amid scenes of wartime relief and Belgian morale.
