PARIS. Aug. e-Reports received from
Berlin by the roundabout way OF London
OF the rejoicing In the German capital at
the news OF the fall OF Liege is taken here
to confirm the French belief that the In
vasion Of France by way Of the Mcuse

70 get past the Belgian fortihcations
and for that length OF time their whole
plan OF campaign will be held up while
the French army OF invasion is advancing
into Germany.
The French war Office, in an analysis
Of the hghtng before Liege. criticises
the German attack as lacking in military
skill, In the view Of the French ex-
perts and considering the preponderant
forces which the Germans had at their
command their attack lacked cohesion.
their artillery was badly supported. their
guns were badly served and the aim OF
their artillery was Ineffective.
That the Belgian artillery was properly
aimed is indicated by the report that two
OF the big guns brought up by the in.
vaders with their first reenforcements
and upon which great reliance was placed
were disabled by the Belgian fire.
The Germans have suspended their
operations against Iiege for two days

LONDON. Aug s.-Ernest Smith. special
correspondent OF the Daily NoDs aud
Leader at Brussels, says this morning
The situation at Liege is very favorable
to the allied arms. The city is besieged
but this was expected. The defence Of
the place has not weakened. The invest
ment was an event to be looked for. The
OBTAINING OF the German forces was the
proper strategic function OF the forts on
the Meuse
Hitherto the bombardnent Of the forts
has been spasmodlc. leading to the belief
that the enemy Is not yet adequately pro-
vided with ammunition.
King Albert this morning reviewed
tho heroic Third DIVISION which covered
itself with glory In the defence Of 1dege.
The Germans In Liege are conducting
themselves well, paying for what they
need.
AS regards the army in the field II Is
In excellent condition. The large part OF
Belgian Luxembourg which was invaded
has been swept clear and the operations
are being continued.
According to Information from the
French, who have 80 completely defeated
the enemy in Alsace, the Germans showed
the same defect at Muelhausen as they dis
played at Liege Their officers seemed TO
lose in a moment all power OF initiative.
There IL evidence that three German
army corps, the Seventh. Ninth and Tenth
took part in the operations before Lege"
! The Daily Mails Brussels CORE
spondent says that the Germans have cut
communication at TongreA eleven miles
northwest OF Liege. This shows that the
German forces have got around TO the
rear OF the forts The Belgian third dvi-
sion is advancing to recapturs the town
OF Tongres
/ Although the stric, censorship does not
permit details OF military movements to
become known. the continued guard OF
the English Channel by British ships
has given rise to the belief In London
that additional reenforcements are being
sent TO the aid OF the Belgians around
Mege, Huy and Namur. No figures OF
the total British expeditonary force to be
sent to Belgium can be obtained.
