A Belgian lancer. who was wound
ed, said to the Times correspondent:
1T was tragic to see how these Door
Germans we're driven up to the guns
Of the forts in massed formation.
They came so Reluctantly that it was
obvious they came only under compul-
sion. They stood not five PAGES apart
and barely fifteen PAGES between the
ranks, thus presenting a solid front,
which even a woman who had never
handled a gun could not have missed.
1--WE certainly could not fail to hit
them, and before our infantry charged
with bayonets the dead lay in the
fields in great heaps. From what I
have been told about Port Arthur, I
do lot believe that even the slaughter
there was ever so great as at the first
attack Dor Liege."
Germans Bayoneted in Back.
when our men charged. many Of
the Germans turned and ran terror
stricken. Hundreds Of them were
struck with lances and bayonets in
the back as they ran. OF my own
charge I { only know that my lance was
broken as ! struck it into some Ger
man.
According t othe correspondent, q
great body Of Germans was wiped out
by a field mine which General Leh-
man, commanding the Belgian forces,
waited to explode until the German
troops were actually marching over
it. To lead them on to the mined field
General Lehman sent out a small de-
tachment Of Belgian infantry, with in
structions to retire before the Ger
mans until the latter should be led
right into the trap.
The invaders came on quite unsus-
pectingly and the whole force that
had started to pursue what they con-
,ceived to be a fleeing body Of Belgians
was destroyed.
