ADVENTURE OF BRAVE BAND
Five Hundred BeIeians, Left Behind a.
Liege, RepuIsed Germans for
Eight Days.

London-The Antwerp correspond:
ent OF the Morning Post tells vivid
story OF the adventures of 500 men
OF the Belgian army at Liege, who ar
rived at Namur, after 20 days of fight
ing and marching.
At 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 a strong fort on each flank.
The Germans were aware Of their
presence, but did not know their
strength, and the Belgians, entrench-
ing. were able to hold out eight days
after the retirement OF the main Bel
gian field force and repused constant
German attacks.
Finally when their rations ran short
they succeeded in breaking through
the German lines, and after many hair
breadth escapes reached Seraing. This
was not accomplished without several
brushes with the enemy, during which
many OF their number were wounded.

KING ALBERT THEIR HERO
Belgian People Now Realize How
Brave and Firm a Man 10 TheIr
Monarch.

Paris.-Roand De Mares, editor of
the Independence Beige, voices the
Belgian sentiment toward King Albert
by splendid panegyric In the Temps.
The writer contrasts the supposed per-
sonality Of the young monarch, who
was popularity believed to be lacking
in firmness and military spirit, with
the magnificent aspect Of the heroic
figure whose name henceforth will be
inscribed for all time on the pages Of
history. NJ De Mares says:
1T requires tragic hour like the
present to reveal to the world the full
measure of the nobility of his nature.
This monarch Is duty incarnate. The
world and his people know him not
1t was he who, in perfect accord with
his ministers, decided that Belgian
neutrality was inviolable, and had the
least manifestation Of opposition
made itself apparent. he would have
used his prerogative and dissolved the
government to enforce his will
This is why he will be entered as
a living figure on the pages of history,
This is why, in Belgium, where the
people are impregnated with the spirit
Of revolution and liberal government.
he never has fawned to the great nor
been a slave to princes.
Let US salute the king, first among
our heroes; and should tomorrow
bring us either victory or defeat, we
shall equally acclaim him in our his.
tory as Albert the victorious.

HERO|SM OF [EMAN
BeIqian Generals Defense OF
Liege Tod BY German.
Finally Blew Up Last Of the Forts and
Was Found by tho Vlctors Un-
conscious Beneath Masses
Of Debris.

Rotterdam.-This is the story of the
fall of Liege in the simple, graphic
language of a German officer. 1t was
told to Dutch reporter:
General Leman's defense OF Llege
combined all that is noble and all that
Is tragic. The commander of one tort
at the moment when the bombardment
was at its heaviest, went mad ana
shot his own men. He was disarmed
and bound.
The cupola of another fort was de-
stroyed by bombs dropped from Yep
pelin. The other forts were swept
away like sand castles on the seashore
before the relentless waves OF our
eleven,inch siege guns.
AS long as was possible General Le-
man inspected the forts daily to see
that everything was In order. The
generals legs were crushed by huge
piece of falling masonry dislodged by
our guns. Undaunted. Leman visited
the forts in an automobile.
Fort Chaudfontein was destroyed by
a German shell dropping In the maya
zine.
At Loncin, one OF the strongest
forts, General Leman decided to hold
his ground or die. Steadily his gun
ners were shot down and he himself
helped to man the guns. For some
time, with mere handful Of men. he
held out, but nothing could have stood
against the hail of shells from our
guns.
When the end was inevitable the
Belgians disabled the last three guns
and exploded supply Of shells kept
In readiness. Before this General Lee
man destroyed all plans, maps and
papers relating to the defenses.
Buried beneath the debris and
pinned beneath a massive beam we
found General Leman. "C'est le
General: il est mort" said a wounded
aide-de-camp.
With a genteness and care which
showed our respect for the man who
had resisted us so valiantly and stub
bornly, our infantrymen released the
generals limp form and carried him
away. We thought him dead, but he
recovered consciousness, and looking
around. said:
IA is as 1t is. The men fought
we'll"
Then turning to us he added
Put in your dispatches that | was
unconscious"
We brought him to our commander,
General Won Emmich. and the two
generals saluted We tried to speak
words Of comfort, but he was silent.
He is known as the silent general
II was unconscious. Be sure to put
that in your dispatches he said. and
more he would not say.
Extending his hand our commander
said:
General, you have fought gallant
ly and nobly held your forts"
General Leman replied. 81 thank
tations."
With smile he added, War Is not
like maneuvers."
He had reference to the fact that
General Won Emmich was recently
with General Leman during the Bel
gian maneuvers. Then, unbuckling
his sword, General Leman rendered
II to General Won Emmich.
No" replied the German COM
mander with a bow. Keep your
sword To have crossed swords with
you has been an honor" And the fire
In General Leman's eye was dimmed
by tear.

WAR LEVIES ARE JUSTIFIED
Cologne Gazette Says Brussels and
Lieee Pay for Bad Treatment
Of Germans.

London-The Daily Malls Rotter-
dam correspondent quotes an article
from the Cologne Gazette in justitica-
ton of the fines levied on Brussels and
Liege, as follows:
The war tribute is a punishment
for the bad treatment of Germans by
Belgium two weeks ago, when inno-
cent Germans at Brussels were hand
ed over to the tender mercies of the
mob.
What happered there will over be
a stain on the honor Of the Belgian
people.
1T must suffer all the burdens al
lowed by the legal right of law, such
as quartering trooi& and furnishing
supplies, until all its resources are ex-
hausted, so that the citizens can feel
personally that hunting defenseless
women is different from having an
enemy In their own homes.
The legal punishment for the Of
lenses Of the Belgians will be imposed
as fully as allowed by law"
