The furniture was wrecked. Attack was
made on all the German cafes near the
harbor The sssailants lugged out pianos
tables, chairs and other furnishings and
threw them into the water.
Crowds went around the city stop

OF Germans was suspected. When they
found houses containing Germans the
contents were looted or destroyed and
the buildings wrecked.

Asserting that Austrias Internal diff

LONDON, ug. 9.-(special Cablegram
to the New York World and Omaha Bee. }
Military experts here declare that moth
ing more inspiring than Belgium's heroic
defense of its territory against the Ger
man invaders can be found in history.
The Germans appeal for an armistice
and their alleged acknowledgment of a
casualty roll of 5000 men amply con-
firms the Belgian triumph, they say
Campaign n Failure.
This check points, in the view of some
military experts, to the failure of the en-
tire German campaign. II picked army
corps under Germany's most trusted
commander have failed against thirty
year-old forts at Liege, what chance, It
is asked, have they of penetrating de-
fenses Judged the most perfect of their
kind in the world-those on Frances east
ern and northeastern frontier.
The German plan was that France
should be beaten to the ground first
while Russia was slowly moving her
forces. Then the victorious German
troops were to drive back the Slav in
road. But instead of gaining a victory,
It is argued, the Germans have opened
their war by defeat from a minor power
esteemed Of no military Importance, and
have shown that their fighting methods
are altogether anuquated.
German Morale is Shaken.
Thomas Naylor, the Chronicles CORES
pondent in Brussels. says in a despatch
that there can be no doubt that the
morale of the German army has been
shaken by the Belgian defense.

the correspondent, 'I met several refu-

AMSTERDAM, Aug. s.-Cvia ID

AMSTERDAM. Aug. S. (Via Lon

has been great rejoicing over the re-
port that Liege has fallen. A dis
patch received from the German

of Liege spread with lightning
rapidly throughout Berlin and
created boundless enthusiasm. The
emperor sent an aide de campe to an

palace"
Policemen on bicycles dashed along
Under Den Linden proclaiming the
joyful tidings. Imperial Chancellor
Bethmann-Hollweg drove to the

on the victory and was enthusiastic
cally cheered along the way
The newspapers declare that false
reports, which are known to have
been circulated in foreign countries
that the Germans suffered a severe
reverse before Liege, will no longer
serve to conceal Germany's triumph.
The Lokal Anzeiger says of the re-
ported victory:
1T confirms our confidence that
we can calmly await coming events.
1t was the prelude to deeds which
will be spoken of as long as men live
on earth"
Another paper comments:
When our soldiers in the field
learn of surrender of Liege they will
rejoice not only for the victory of
our arms, but because of the assur-
ance IL gives that our march through
northern France cannot be stayed. "
