CITY: 0F L|EGE
 WELL FORTIFIED Belgian City Is Almost Impresnable From lnvasion-Twelve Forts
 Protect the City.

After the great war of 1870 an im- mense and far-reaching change took
 place in the range and destructive
 ness of siege artillery. All the Bel gian Notifications, including even the fine new works at Antwerp, were rem dered useless. In 1886 the question
 was pressed home to the conscience of the Belgian people by the efforts of General Brialmont, who had just made great reputation by his elab- crate scheme of fortif1cation at Buch- arest.
 The Belgian Chambers were induc- ed to vote the necessary funds for the modernizing of the fortress of Antwerp. and for the erection of new positions or "tetes de pont" at Liege and Namur, thus further reducing the total of Belgian fortresses to three. At Namur. the old citadel famous for it's sieges in the time of Louis XIV. was abandoned. and a ring of uluo ucW 1OlI6 dI ulSLduCcS OA 1OuA or five miles from the town was sub. stituted.
 These forts are cupola-shaped and bomb proof. The guns in them are raised automatically and have range of ten miles or even more. At Liege there are twelve new forts; two of the strongest of them at Fleron and Chaudfontaine command the railway and road from Germany. There. Is no doubt that-the Namur and Lisse positions are exceedingly strong. but both require larger gar. risons than Is generally assumed for the defence Of the intervals. For in- stance. the fort of Evegnee. at Liege. was captured in theory during some recent Belgian manoeuvres. and the loss of one of the detached forts would 'sertously compromise the se- cufity Of tho others.
 The question Of the Notifications at these places Is of such great i'm portance that 1t may be useful to
