THREE FORTS MAY
BECOME FAMOUS
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

London, Aug. THE Daily Mails
Paris correspondent names three Bel
gian fortresses, Liege, Namur and Huy
as seeming likely to play a prominent
part in the history Of the present war.
for they held back the head of the ad-
vancing German hosts and have given
the French army time in which to
make up for the thirty hours disad-
vantage in mobilization which they
suffered through Germany's earlier
preparations.
1t was never expected that Liege
would offer any serious resistance
says the correspondent, yet already it
has stemmed the German onset for
two precious days and only today
have two of its ring of forts fallen be-
fore the concentrated attack Of the
German army.
This partial success against forti-
fications thirty years old was gained
by the Germans light siege artillery
The Belgians falling back on Liege
still resist stoutly and a fierce resis-
lance may yet be made in the very
streets of the modern city. Even when
Liege falls Namur and Huy will car
ry on the resistance. Meanwhile the
Belgian success has nightly encour-
aged the French who are now more
than ever certain OF victory.

Now, however these adversaries

HOUSES
WERE DAMAGED
BY LIGHTNING
ALL PLACES SEEMED TO HAVE
BEEN STRUCK BY SAME BOLT,
AS ALL OCCURRED ABOUT THE
SAME TIME.

Early morning lightning played
highly exciting pranks in the city
yesterday not less than three houses
having been struck, either at the same
moment or within three or four min
utes Of one another. At none of the
homes damaged were there any ia =
talities, but on Intendencia street
three ladies were shocked very much,
and 1t required some moments to bring
them around again.
1t was about $50 o'clock IN the
morning when a vivid flash. followed
Immediately by a crash of thunder,
frightened hundreds in this city. This
is said to have been the time that the
most, if not all, the damage reported,
was suffered At the home Of Police
man Bryars. at 1921 North Davis
street, lightning hit and came crash
ing through the bath room. Luckily
there were none of the occupants OF
the home in the bath right then, and
beyond a shock sustained, they suf-
fered little. Three or four boards were
ripped from the side of the house
where the lightning entered.
Three Are Shocked.
At the home OF George Ktnsley, at
210 East Intendencia street, Mrs.
were badly shocked when the lightning
ratified down the chimney, split the
fiue open, created havoc in the sitting
room or parlor, and just how it left
the place without killing anyone is a
fortunate mystery. Mr.. Kinsley said
to his work, and for that reason had
to forego the pleasure, for the time
being, of reading his morning paper.
Getting up late was the only thing
that perhaps kept him out of range of
the bolt, he said, for it is his custom
to take a seat in the parlor and go
over his paper. In addition to the
f1ue being badly split and cracked
open, the roof in several places was
found later to have been pierced, and
the lightning seemed to have entered
at several points.
Dazed and Shocked.
F. Goodrich an aged contractor,
who was at the Whittle home, on
Twelfth avenue near Brainard street.
suffered a. severe shock when the
lightning struck that place There
were none of the family at homo at
the time, and Mr.. Goodrich was said
to have been testing out an electric
mop machine when the lightning
darted in and played havoc. almost
wrec1ling one room and shocking him
so badly that when people hurried
there, they found him in a dazed con-
dition, and it was some time before
he could be brought around to have
his right mind. He never knew what
happened until friends, informing Mr..
Whittel of the occurrence, had the
door opened and four Mr.. Goodrich on
the floor, dazed and shocked quite
badly.
Slightly Shocked.
AT Bayview park In the early morn
ing slight damage was suffered to one
or more buildings In that neighborhood
and 1t was claimed that the pavilion
was slightly shaken by lightning,
which. however, did not hit that build
ing but seemed to have been nearby.
Everyone on the scene. 1t was stated.
were shocked considerably.
