5000 BELGIAN PRISONERS

ARE EN- ROUTE TO GERMANY.
London.-Much perturbation was
caused here by reports from German
sources of the fall Of the Belgian city
of Liege and the capture of thousands
of prisoners. Messages from Brussels
said Belgian troops still held the forts
and that there had been no serious &C.
cupation of the town by the Germans.
Dispatches from Brussels spoke of
a review of the defenders of the city
of Liege by King Albert, but did not
say where his majesty reviewed
them. The troops reviewed by the
king apparently were, in the opinion
Of people here, the field army which
had been operating at Liege and
which was reported as leaving the
city to join King Albert's army, the
reason given being that the forts of
the city were considered able to take
care of themselves against the Ger
mar forces. :
Dispatches from Berlin from the
semi-official agency there we're posi-
tive in their statements that 'Ltege
is in our hands and over 5000 Bel
gtan prisoners are en- route to Ger
many" .
Nothing definite had been obtained
from Brussels on the subject, when
an official announcement said. 'Liege
Is invested, but all forts are still in
Belgian hands and there has been no
serious occupation of the town by the
Germans"

TOYS MADE IN THE
HOME WORKSHOP

THERE are some toys that can be
i made at home for the smaller chill

are most durable and most cherished
Among them are Teddy bears, dogs,
elephants rabbits and kittens made OF
canton flannel or plush. Rag dolls,
printed on strong muslin, can be
bought ready to be cut out and made
at home. The animals are cut by pat
terms to be had at pattern companies
and are stuffed with sawdust. Small
buttons or beads make their eyes and
heavy yarns are employed in outlining
the mouth or nose or other details.
A small white dog shown in the pic
ture illustrates how well these toys
look. He is furnished with eyes made
bf little black buttons and ears cut
from black cloth. A ribbon carrying
a tiny bell is sewed about his neck
and he ie bedecked with narrow band

To make shades like that shown in

no such things. What scientific laws
do is to state the functional relations
between certain events at certain
times and certain other events at
other times.
We know. for example, that sun
beams are the ultimate cause of the
revolving of windmill, but no man
can state the origin of the particular
puff of air that causes a wheel to re-

time. Neither is it possible to put
ones finger on the exact point at
