SWARM IN LIKE ANTS.
FRENCH ARRIVE IN BELGIUM
EAILED AS SAVIOURS
London, Wednesday
The new disposition of the Allied armies in Belgium is now complete. Correspondents allowed to describe the arrival of the French troops in Brussels say they swarmed over the highways leading from France like ants towards the point of concentration. After a night's rest they melted away as the morning mist over the sombre river Meuse into the dark firwoods and smiling valleys, singing snatches of the "Marseillaise" Hidden in the fields of waving corn were many cunningly contrived trenches, \vh«rein the French and Belgians lay with thoir rifles cocked. Trough these woods and up the steep knolls had been drawn the latest and most effective field artillery in the world
The French are everywhere hailct'i as the saviours of Belgium. Everything is now ready. Every French soldier is Rt his post, and the clash, whether offensive or defensive, may come at any time
