LONDON, Aug. 1.-The fighting
around Liege cnotinued all night, the
Germans making every effort to de-
feat the defenders of the forts about
the city. Already two of the Liege
forts have been reduced by the Ger
man shells, but the Belgians continue
to resist with untiring energy.
The Germans were able to use
their light siege guns against the
forts of Liege, which are thirty years
old. Two of them were silenced, and
the German columns broke through.
The other forts are holding out. The
Belgians are making determined
resistance before the city.
The situation at Liege, accordin :
to the latest dispatches, was as fol-
lows:
1t seemed certain that the fortiti-
cations could not stop the German

If the German army succeeds in
carrying Liege it will find itself con-
ironted by an entrenched camp at
Namur. ct which the Be1gians are
preparing to make a stand as fierce
as that at Liege.

fulfilling its task of delaying the
German advance and it appeared Ger
