BELGIANS HOLD
FORTS AT MIDNIGHT

Paris, Aug 12.-(midnighD-An Of
fetal statement issued by the war
department states that the news from
Liege and it's vicinity is good. The
forts are still holding out. Not one
of them has fallen into the hands OF
the enemy. The Belgian troops have
resumed the offensive.
Following the official statement by
the minister of war that the French
situation in Alsace is excellent, it is
officially stated that the march Muel-
hansen was made solely to destroy
the German secret service and spy
system which centered il Muelhaus-
en-.
All interests at the moment is in
Belgium, where a decisive battle is
imminent. Already 10000 German
cavalrymen are investing the Belgian
plains bounding liege ON the north
and between Liege and Huy. Shirm-
ishes have resulted with the Belgians

LIEGE MUST BE
TAKEN BY GERMANS

Brussels, Aug. 1.-THE lombard
ment Of the Liege forts has been re-
sumed with big siege guns brought
up by the Germans, who are hurting
tons of steel at the Notifications.
The Belgians are returning the enc
my's fire vigorously.
The advance of the German army to
strike blow at the very heart of
Belgium has begun. The course of
the movement is north of Liege, and
an extraordinary force of cavalry is
serving as the protecting shield along
the entire front of the allied armies.
The objective Of the German forces
is as yet undiscovered.
Sharp fighting between the French
cavalry and the German mounted adj
vance occurred at intervals during the
day. The engagements were in the
nature of skirmishes and both the
Germans and allied armies seem to be
feeling for the weak spot in the for
nation of the enemy. A regiment of
dragons attempted to surprise the
Belgians at Annette. in the province of
Liege, but met with such stubborn
resistance that they finally drew off.
suffering the loss of 1913 dead and 1902
prisoners taken. The dragons came
from the direction of Liege, where a
new German army corps is investing
the city. The new corps of invest
ment is comprised of troops that have
been fighting and marching hard dur
ing the past week. and the Liege gar
rison was relieved in order to secure
the freshest troops possible.
This evidently is the new move
ment determined upon and the result
of the abandonment of the German
plan to take Liege by direct assault
of infantry and marks new phase Of
the war.
Reports received here are that a
force of Uhlans have taken nearly
100000 from the bank of Hasselt, the
capital of Likburg province.
