Raid on Brussels Planned.
Military authorities here assert that
the German cavalry divisions were told
to make a raid on Brussels with the
object, 1t is believed. either Of levying
war contributions or seizing the treas
ury. It is argued that they evidently
reckoned on not meeting any Belgian
resistance.
AS evidence that the German plans to
traverse Belgian territory were known
to well Informed Germans here, 1t is
pointed out that celebrated chateau
in Belgium belonging to a Ger
man prince was emptied six weeks ago.

German Losses in Belgium.
A news dispatch from Brussels says
that 1t is oficially announced there that
the German loss in Belgium in the recent
fighting was 1000 dead. 10000 wounded
and 9,7OO prisoners.
The Paris correspondent of the Ex-
change Telegraph Company says that a
dispatch from Maastricht, The Neither
lands, announces that the Germans oc-
cupy Tongres. a town ten miles north Of
Lege. The place had been abandoned
by the Belgians.

Easy for Foe to Take Liege.
The Standards military correspondent,
explaining the situation at Liege. says:
THE withdrawal Of the Belgian mobile
defense left open all the space between
the forts, whereupon II became easy for
the invaders to get into town by taking
advantage Of the woods and hilly ground.
'Tt is unlikely that any considerable
portion of the German army has entered
the city. A few hundred men would be
sufficient to keep the civil population
under control and it would be an act of
madness for the German commander to
pass his entire force into what might
prove a trap without an exit.
"The fact that the forts have not mo-

Bo1nbardment Continues.
"A report states that the principal
Eiege forts are still holding out. al
though some of the smaller forts have
been captured by the Germans The
bombardment of the. fortifications by
the Germans is proceeding without in
termission On one occasion a fort
apparently had been 'silenced. but when
German infantryR1en advanced to at
tack it a hail of bullets was poured
into them so suddenly and effectively
that they retired with heavy loss.
"The German attackers. who are con-
stantly being reinforced displayed
great courage.
"It is stated that 10000 men of
the German army are engaged In the
attack on Liege.- Refugees from that
city describe the conditions as terrible
Many houses have been damaged or
burned"
Austrians Are Advancing.

Belgians are unwilling to risk the de-
struction of their fine city for the sake OF
turning out the enemy, whose occupation
matters little from the point of view OF
the Belgian defense. Liege is quite use
less to the Germans SO long as the forts
hold out"
Approaches to Brussels Guarded.
Both combatants at Liege claim VIC
tory, with the Belgians still holding
the forts and the Germans occupying
the city. Strong forces guard all the
approaches to Brussels.
The situation is a unique one. There
is no confirmation of the Daily Nails
report that the French have engaged
the Germans and cut off their retreat,
inflicting loss of 5000 men. The
Belgians claim that they have taken
800 prisoners on Belgian soil, but
military men regard all the estimates
of the belligerents as great exaggera-
ton.
one of the most important develop
ments at Liege in the eyes of experts
is the general testimony that the Ger
man fantry formation is obsolete and
ineffective against the weapons OF to-
day, and means an enormous slaughter
if retained.
The Germans appear to be recover
ing and reprovisioning at Liege- A
large number of German squadrons
that had yielded ground to the French
are now in the vicinity of Tongres. A
number of German prisoners have been
sent to Namur and Charleville.
Forts Cut Off Supplies.

staff assert that the occupation OF
Liege has not had the slightest In

question Of needed legislation, particu-
larly the question of aiding the state
agricultural society in securing an APP
preparation to erect new sheep barns
and an exhibition pavilion at the state
