BELGIANS DRIVEN CRAZY
BY GERMAN SIEGE GUNS

LONDON. September 1.-THE Paris
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
says that the value of the German siege
guns Is limited to two points. They
can be dragged anywhere, even over
muddy roads-a novelty for eleven-inch
howitzers-and they have fonderful ar
nor-piercing qualities when used
against forts. In permanent fortified
positions their effect on the soldiers Is
terrible; some of the Belgians in the
Liege forts were driven crazy.
But the French laugh at their effect
in the open, saying that they can do
more damage with their field guns.
