order. Their losses were enormous.
"The German heavy artillery FIRE
was concentrated against Fort Norcnon'
but seemed badly directed. The heavy
Belgian artillery dominated the Ger
man fire and destroyed two OF their
heavy guns"
The operations Of the Germans were
based on the hypothesis OF rapid sue
cesses. Consequently, they were or
ganized with little regard for provis-
ioning the army The Belgisns retsrd-

with the magnificent result that their
army was increased with troops des-

King Albert, in an order TO the 30
Division and the 18th Mixed Brigade,
which assisted in the heroic defence OF
Liege, took occasion to salute them
and the army in the name Of the ma

diers were coming to their help.
II is officially announced that the
forts at Liege continue holding out.
The Germans who entered the city
evacuated yes erdsy before the arrival
of the Belgian division which had come
to the rescue. The evacuation was
without military significance, as the
forts command the routes and rail-
roads. The withdrawal Of the German
troops, however, was an unquestioned
moral defeat.

eeived here, Belgian troops have cut

father supports his opinion that adroit'
ness is congenital in women:
One Saturday Margaret, aged four,
was in deep disgrace. Four times
since o'clock she had run away to
visit Mrs. Gilbert, her favorite neigh
Dor, and was now paying for her
crimes by detention in the house.
At her father returned and sat on
the porch reading his evening paper.
To him in a few minutes Margaret
sauntered out, her mind intent on car
rying out her plans, and shortly sug
gested:
Daddy, let's play you are the baAY
and l am the mother"
Daddy agreed on condition that it
must be very little baby and one
that would not be expected to move.
Thereupon Margaret, after silence
in which one could hear her brain cur
rents crackle, said, Now, honey, you
be a good little baby and don't run
away, while mother for a little while
goes over to Mrs. Gilbert's. "-NeW
