BLACK, SILENT ARMY OF PEACE
PARADED FIFTH AVENUE IN
PROTEST Of EUROPEAN WAR

Never before has New York wit
messed such a spectacle as was pre-
sented in this procession, comprised
chiefly Of women of middle age, the
mothers Of such men as are now sac
rificing their lives upon European bat
tie fields. There were scores, bent

who patiently trudged in the wake Of
the banner Of peace, registering their
silent protest against the slaughter Of
lives given to the world by the wom-
en- Of other nations.
There have been professions Of
women In New York of greater num-
bers but none more impressive. More
than 100000 persons, silent, reven
entiaI, watched the n,archers as they
moved down the broad avenue from
Ffty-ninth street to Union Square.
The throngs lining the sidewalks and
packing the windows Of the skyscrap-
ers were unusual for New York.
There was no applause as the silent
host moved by. Tears welied up in
the eyes Of many. The hats OF the

peace were removed. Faces Of on
lockers were study. The sight Of

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The war office
tonight made public the inside story
Of the fall Of Namur. It demonstrates
that the lesson Of Liege was not lost
on the Germans. The forts fell last
Sunday at o'clock In the afternoon
but before they were evacuated they
were almost blown to pieces by tho
great 20 eentimeter krupp howitzsrs.
When the Germans invested the
fortificatlons, they Immediately mount
cd thirty compete batteries Of these
great guns just out Of range Of the
forts. It Was ..nlaln- that tt,s artillery
men had been suppIied In advance
with maps showing the exact location
not only Of the forts but Of the posi-
ton Of the guns. A constant fire was
directed against the outer forts. The
great explosive shells curved above
the walls and fell inside, killing and
wounding members Of tho various
gun crews. All day Friday and Sat
urday the bombardment continued.
The German guns were out Of range
Of the fort guns and were skinfully
protected by earthen entertainments.
THOUSANDS OF SHELLS.
Thousands Of shells fell inside Of
the forts or exploded against the
walls. tearing great rents In them.
Meanwhile the Germans succeeded In
siIencinq a single fort and were able
to penetrate the town, forcing the de-
Tenders to evacuate it. Sunday after
noon at five o'clock, the forts had
been reduced almost to a mass Of
ruins and most Of the guns haa been
siIenced. The orders were then Civ
en- to abandon the forts and this was
done after the guns still remaining
serviceabIe. had been completely put
out Of commission.
Describing the odium, the bureau
says:
"The German fire simply smothered
the defense Of the forts"
Although Nanur surrendered. the
Belgian legation. in an announce
ment tonight says:
LIEGE HOLDS OUT.
Several OF the Clege forts still hold
out and are replying to the enemys
fire."
The Belgian legation tonight ad.
nitted that Namur had been COM
pleteiy demolished by the German
she'll fire and that the German siege
guns had proven most effective. In
an official statement the legation
said:
"The German siege artillery COM
pIeteIy outcIassed that which was in
the forts. with the result that the
forts were unable to defend them
selves. Each Of these huge krupp
weapons. the heaviest yet used In
the war. was hauled into position by
thirty horses who we're compelled to
strain to their very utmost.
"The guns carried enormous pro-
iectiies, all Of the explosive sort.
The Germans succeeded in getting
the range and In a number Of in
stances, they actually blew the forts
to pieces, leaving them a smoking
mass of twisted steel and concrete
ruins"

RUSH TO THE RESCUE
One Hundred Thousand Soldiers Sent

[By Ed l.. Keen, United Press Staff

LBy Ed L.keen, United Press Staff
correspondent.l
LONDON, Aug. 49, The
steady advance of the vast
Russian armies through east
ern Prussia is giving concern
to the German general staff.
That the kaiser's empire is
really rnenaced by the hordes
pouring into Prussia and Ga
licia is practically admitted
by military commanders, if re-
ports received today from Am
sterdam are true. The re-
ports declare that troops in
great numbers are being with
drawn from the lines along the
French frontier and are being
rushed northward through
Belgium. Messages declare
that 100 train loads of Ger
mans passed through Belgium
during the day. It is presumed
they are being hurried toward
Prussia to meet the Russian
advance.
It is estimated that 100 Of
the German troop trains will
carry 10000 soldiers. With
the vast army the kaiser has
been pounding at the allied
lines, this may not greatly
weaken the offensive move
ment toward Paris but is an
admission that the forces in
Germany at the present time
are not considered strong
enough to check the Russian
advance to Berlin. In decisive
fighting in France the 120, 900
men speeding toward the
north will not be missed, but
the loss of this number to the
Garman forces will not be felt
as much by the kaiser's troops
as would a similar number
from the ranks of the allies.
