pressors, his movement of an army
corps into Finland becomes applicable.
Should the news be true, doubtless we
soon shall hear of German proclama-
ton promising independence to Finland
if the Firms come to the kaiser's sup
port An uprising in Finland would be
of enormous military value to Germany
but if the Germans lost the war, the
liberties Finland already possesses
would be lost as well.
False reports OF the capture Of Liege,
carried by other news services, are due
to correspondents mistaking street
fighting in the city for the presence Of
the entire German army. A few isolated
detachmcnts of Germans occasionally
are able to pass between the forts that
circle Licge, four to six miles beyond
the city. A rush into Liege by the
remnant of a regiment devasted by the
forts, entails hand-to-hand fighting that
must send forth the cry: "Thc Germans
are I'M"
BY the time the alarm reaches Amer
lea Il has been elaborated in some cases
to the capture of the city.
The massed attack of the Germans
on the Liege forts is described truly as
"an act of heroism" in the official Ger
man account of the Liege operations.
But. the German general staff is far
from the truth in characterizing the at
tack as unique"
During the South African war, the
British troops used the same method in
what were called Frontal attacks" The
Beers without modern weapons, and
with only kopies for their fortresscs,
drove the British back, time and again.
The Belgians. in nickel steel forts, di-
recting six-inch and 81 finch guns against
the Germans, are but undermining the
attacks of the late South African
burghers. The enormous Importance OF
the capture of Liege TO Germany's plan
of campaign Is indicated by the desper
ate duplication of Great Britain's fatal
assaults against the Boar kopies.
