London, Aug. 25,-4,s5 A. M,-The
Antwerp correspondent of the Morn

ventures Of 500 men of the Belgian
army at Liege, who arrived at Namur
Saturday afternoon after six days of
fighting and marching.
At the opening of the war their post
was between the Liege forts, Craud-
fontaine and Embourg.
On "Wednesday night of the first
week of the war, orders were given
them to evacuate their position, but
the orders never reached this battalion,
which became isolated by the Germans.
The Germans were aware of their
presence but did not know their
strength, and the Belgians, entrench-
ing were able to hold out eight days
after the retirement of the main Bel
gian field force and repulsed constant
German attacks. Finally, when their
rations ran short, they succeeded IN
breaking through the German lines
and after many hair-breadth escapes
reached Seraing, They reached Huy
on Saturday, where the railway au-
thorities made up train and took
them to Namur. Several were wound
