Under such conditions. the president

nized by the new regime before they
again open their doors for business.

Rome, Aug. 1.-THE news that Tur-
eky has purchased the German cruis-
ers Goeben and Breslau reached here
only tonight. This new development
was discussed with intense interest In
political circles, where 1t was held to
be fraught with grave results
It was stated in semi official quar-
ters that the vessels would become a
strong weapon in the hands Of Turkey
If Constantinople abandoned its neu-
trality. The belief is expressed that
the purchase preludes new position
on the part Of Turkey and in favor of
Germany and Austria, which is
especially important as bearing on the
interests Of the Balkan state.

and paid . terrible penalty for the err
ror in the opinion Of Victor H. Duras,
American vice consul at Liege, as
quoted by the Brussels correspondent
of the Times.
The correspondent says that Mr..
Duras was an eye witness Of the first
days OF the siege. which he describes.
The Belgians permitted the forces Of
General Won Emmich actually to pass
the forts In their march on the town
and then attacked them in the rear
from the forts and on their front with
infantry. He estimated the German
casualties as from i've to ten times a.
great as those Of the defenders.
Speaking as . neutral" says Mt.
Duras, according to the Times corre-
spondeut, It seem to be q part Of new
military tactics Of the Germans to fight
as much as possible in the night. Com
paratively little lighting occurred at
Liege during the day.

ana retreat was cut off. There was
nothing for them do but be shot down
or surrender.
The amount Of suffering on both
sides. owing to inability to care
promptly for the wounded, was very
great. ana especially to tho Germans,
whose casualties were Ave to ten times
rs great AZ those Of the Belgians.
The Germans paid a penalty to tho
boldness OF their scheme Of attack,
which from military point Of view
could be justified only from convic-
etion Of the Germans that they would
meet with only = feeble resistance The
mistake they made was in undertaking
the fighting qualities Of the peaceful
Belgians"
