LEAVE AFTER BIG
OMAHA GREETING
(CoftMaM Trom Tt Oh.)
noncommissioned officers and soldiers
for the warm-hearted reception you
have given us in your city.
"This Belgian armored motor corps
left the west front in Belgium the lat
ter part of 1915 and proceeded, via
Archangel, to the Galician front,
where they covered themselves with
glory. -
The Defense of Liete.
"I have been asked to tell you what
I consider the most important mili
tary operations in which the Belgian
army has taken part since the begin
ning of the war. I thould say the fol
io wins; arc uie moi ouuianaing;
"First, the defense of Liege, where
we barred the Germans, thus giving
the French time 'to get ready. You
all know the aplendid work done
there by our Third division, under the
command of our heroic General Le-
man, and the stoic resistance of the
forts, which gave way only when they
had been absolutely destroyed by the
powerful German guns.
The second important engage
ment was at Haelen, where the First
cavalry division threw back, with very
heavy losses, two of the best German
cavalry divisions, supported by pow
erful artillery and infantry. More than
3,000 Germans were left dead on the
battlefield.
"After several smaller engagements
the Belgian army retired under the
protection of the torts of Antwerp.
Here they performed a third service
of extreme importance. The Belgian
army, in conjunction with the trench
army, attacked the tupply communi
cation lines of the German army, and
a statement by a German staff officer
pays a tribute to the effective partici
pation of the Belgian army in the
victory of the Marne.
Retreat Prom Antwerp..
"The fourth military operation to
which I would call your attention is
the retreat of the Belgian army from
Antwerp. The Germans felt confident,
not only of capturing Antwerp, but
also ot capturing the whole Belgian
army at the same time. Thanks to a
very clever strategic movement and
the heroic stand of our forces at TeM
monde, the entire Belgian army re
tired safely along the coast to a new
position along the river Yser. Ant
werp surrendered, but was handed
over by civilians, to the great aston
ishment of the German general In
command, who had already wired the
kaiser that he had captured nearly the
entire Belgian army. Even the stores
of supplies of the army had been de
stroyed or removed by. the Belgians
before the town wat given unp.
The fifth operation wat the most
tioriout of all. and w can av with
legitimate pride that the .battle of
the Yter, after the fall of Antwerp,
saved a most critical situation and
forever barred the Germans from
Calais. Dunkirk and Boulogne. The
invasion of those ports by the enemy
wouia nav ocen a, serious letDacK
to the British military preparations.
Although the Belgian army was tired
and its equipment weakened and only
42,000 rifles left on (he firing line,
the French general-lnhier promised
King Albert to send a fresh army, to
relieve our men if we could hold out
forty-eight hour. We held out forty
eight hours and continued to hold out
for eight days before the first French
reinforcements were able to arrive.
We did this in spite of the superior
numbers of the enemy, about 300.000
fresh picked troops, who were in high
spirits after jutt capturing Antwerp,
and who were supported ' by more
than 500 gunt. " j
"In thit battle our army had been
reduced to 20,000 men, nearly all of
our country wat in the hands of the
enemy, and only a small part of our
army remained intact- We had no
munitions, no ammunition, and our
artillery had been reduced to a few
field batteries.

Following their arrival at the Union
station, the party, escorted by a mili
tary body from Fort Crook and

school . cadets, marched, despite the
rain which was then falling, north in
Tenth street -to Farriam,.and then
went to the court house. They were
met there by great crowds of Oma
hans, who packed the building. Red
Cross women were on hand and fur;

Following the luncheon the various
members of the party were taken in
automobiles for a short sight-seeing
tour of the city, including Fort Oma
ha. Following this trip, many of the
men repaired to the Young Men's
Christian association and to a wel
come dip in the big tank. The din
ner at the Chamber of Commerce fol
lowed. The 336 Belgian officers and troops,
guests of Omaha Thursday, now being
transported from San Francisco, to an
Atlantic port, are what is left of a
regiment of .automobile cannon and
automobile machine gun troops that
joined M Russian troops by way of
Archangel late in 1915. They are fine
examples of the soldiers of the Bel
gian army, many of the most promi
nent families of that stricken country
being represented, not only among
the officers, but the enlisted men as
well.
They fought with the Russian
armies against the central powers for
some .time before Czar Nicholas was
overthrown, and then with the revolu
tionary? troops until the Russians
signed a uerman peace, now wen
they fought and with what credit to
the fair name of Belgium, is shown
by the decoratons they wear. One of
the most gallant deeds was that of
Jacques de Becker-Remy, a private in
the First battery, a brave soldier be
loved by all. In action with his ar
mored automobile, in the midst of
enemy fire he left his car to attach a
cable to a Belgian automobile . ren
dered helpless by reason of damage
to its forward deck. He was. killed in
the course of this operation, during
which he performed an act of sub
lime heroism. In memory of his
gallant service his name remains on
the roll of his battery, and when his
name is called, his comrades respond:
"Killed on the field of honor at Vero
bievka." After the betrayal of the Russian
people through the agents of Ger
many the usefulness of these Bel
gians in Russia was at an end and
they made their way through many
dangers and in spite of 4he hindrance
of the bolsheviki and the plots of Ger;
man spies through Russia and Siberia
to Vladivostok, where they embarked
for San Francisco, arriving at the
Golden Gate May 12.
From Omaha the party went to Des
Moines, where they will be enter
tained today. From Des Moines they
go to Chicago and thence to several
cities in the east.
