AMERICAN GIRL VIEWS
LIEGE'S BATTLE HORROR

| New York, Sept 5.-The battlefield
at Liege, as seen through the eyes of
an American girl, was vividly describ-
ed today by Miss Anna Laing, grad
uate nurse of the Bridgeport, Conn,
hospital, a passenger on the steamer
Ryndam from Rotterdam.
On the Ryndam were 1,2S5 passen-
| gers-332 in the steerage-of whom
1912 were Americans. Scores were
practically without funds, and twenty
seven were absolutely destitute.
The passengers told of hardships in
reaching European ports from the in
terror, and of cramped quarters aboard
ship Many of them slept at night on
| the decks.
Il was in Liege when the fight first
started" said Miss Laing. Several
| Belgian officers who we've friends of
mine took me to house where | was
| practically out of the range of the
shells that were being hurled at the
| city by the Germans. In the evening
! the Germans withdrew for some rea-
son and during the lull in the battle
two of the Belgian officers invited me
to go out over the field where the
heaviest of the fighting had taken
place.
"The ground was literally soaked
with blood, and the bodies of horses
and men lay everywhere.
81 saw trenches filed to the top
| with dead German soldiers. These
trenches, the Belgian officers explain
ed to me, had been dug by the Bel
gians and occupied by them until the
great army of advancing Germans
forced them to retreat. AS the Ger
man infantry mounted the breast
works in front of the trenches the re-
treating Belgians poured a murderous
fire into their ranks and their bodies
fell in the trenches. Then, the Belgian
officers said, their men moved down
more Germans with a deadly cross-fire,
which not only filled up the trenches
with bodies but left many piled on the
breastworks and the ground nearby"
The friendship of the German peo.
| pie for Americans is deep-seated and
took concrete form in many acts OF
kindness during the early days of the
war, according to Mrs. Benjamin Har-
rison, widow of the former president
who was on the Ryndam.
Mrs. Harrison and twenty-four 9th
er American refugees who were in
Germany at the outbreak of hostilities
| drew up a statement embodying theiI
views. Among the signers were Pro
fessor Harry II. Love of Cornell Uni
