IMPORTANCE OF BELGIAN CITY
is EXPLAINED BY STRATEGISTS
LiGge is Immensely Wealthy in Mines and Manufacturing
Twelve Forts Built in 1883 10 Protect The CITY

New York, Aug. THE strategic
Importance of Liege, the Belgian city
before which the German advance is
reported to have been checked, and
where, according to European dis
patches, the first great battle in force
of the war is being fought, is many
sided. Principally, it is the most
strongly fortified obstacle to the sup
posed plan of the Germans to cut
across the lower half of Belgium into
French territory, but in addition to
this the city is of itself a prize in
many ways. Liege is the Pittsburg
of Belgium. For miles to the south
west, along the River Meuse, there
are scores of blast furnaces, pudding
furnaces, rolling mills and FORCES. 1t
is the site of the famous Cockerill
works, said to be the largest manu-
factory of machinery in the world.
Liege proper, with a population of
10000, lies at the junction of the
Meuse and the Ourthe in a basin
margined by hills.
ATsnns VTnJox ALo Cskr
All around the city is a wealth of
coal and iron ore. The mines extend
even under the city and river. These
natural riches in connection with the
favorable situation of the city at the
junction of two navigable rivers, have
given rise to the extensive manufac-
turing industry in the city itself.
The products are varied, but the
principal ones, and that which would
make Liege a valuable prize of war,
is that of firearms. More than 10000
persons are employed in the manufac-
ture of guns, ranging from small arms
to the largest of modern weapons.
There is a royal cannon factory and
small arm factory also in the suburb
of st. Leonard
In wars CT the last century, Liege
has played only small part, but to .
day the city is well defended with
modern fortications. It's strength
