Americans Would GO Wild Over
Game If Played by Experts

one reason that soccer football is
not more popular game in this coun-
try than it is is because of the fact
that it requires the most expert men
to play the game so that il Will be
spectacular enough and exciting
enough to interest the average Ameri-
can Spectator who doesn't understand
the sport.

500 BeIgians in Trenches
Repulse German Attacks
By Associated Press

London, Aug. 20, 4.35 A. M.-The
Antwerp correspondent of the Morn
ing Post tells vivid story of the
adventures of 500 men of the Belgian
army at Lege who arrived at Namur
Saturday afternoon after twenty days
of fighting and marching.
OF the opening of the war their
post was between the Liege forts
Chaudfontaine and Embourg. On
Wednesday night of the first week of
the war orders were given them to
evacuate their position, but the orders
never reached this battalion, which
became isolated by the Germans, but
with strong fort on each flank. The
Germans were aware of their pres
ence, but did not know their strength.
and the Belgians, entrenching, were
able to hold out eight days after the
retirement of the main Belgian field
force and repulsed constant German
attacks. Finally when their rations
ran short they succeeded in breaking
through the German lines and after
many hair-breadth escapes reached
Sefaing. This was not accomplished
without several brushes with the
enemy, during which many of their
number were wounded. They reached
Huy on Saturday, after which railway
authorities made up a train and took
them to Namur.

Zeppelin Airship Drops
Under Fire of Belgians
By Assoeinted Press

London, Aug. 25, 1.3O P. M.-The
correspondent at Antwerp of the
Evening News telegraphs that a Zep-
pelin airship, which flew over Ant
werp last night was brought down by
Belgian artillery fire at Hemixam, six
miles outside Antwerp. The crew of
fifteen men were taken prisoners
The dispatch evidently refers to the
same airship reported earlier in the
day from Antwerp as having flown
over the city last night.
Another dispatch from Antwerp
says that Zeppelin, before it was
brought to earth, succeeded in drop
ing seven of eight bombs into Ant
werp. One of the houses wrecked by
the missiles was situated only 800
yards from the palace of King Albert
Seven persons were killed and six
seriously injured by the explosion.
Some other houses were half demol-
ished by the falling bombs.
One bomb partly wrecked the hos
pital of st. Elizabeth, but fortunately
there were no patients in the building.
The bombs exploded with terrific
force and threw the inhabitants of
Antwerp into state bordering panic.
There is intense indignation in Ant
werp at the attack upon the hospital
which was flying the Red Cross flag.
