II OF 5000 6ELGiANs
GET THROUGH GERMANS

London, Aug. 31.-A Belgian civic
guard named Duquet, who left Namur
shortly before the Germans reached
that fortress, has arrived in London.
He heard the story OF the fall OF that
fortress from French officers after
their retreat and tells the story as fol-
lows: -
at last accounts, five forts were
still holding out, though they are
bound to succumb TO the improved en-
gines of war with which the Germans
are now equipped.
These new style siege guns have
been posted out of the range Of the
forts and they played enormous shells
over the defenses. The shells burst
with such force that they tore gaps ten
yards deep in the cupolas and speedily
put the forts guns out of action.
Five thousand Belgians from Ma
muir were subsequently surrounded by
the Germans at Denee. The Belgians
tried to force their way through the
German Gordon with the bayonet, but
only seventeen got through. The re-
mainder were either killed or were
made prisoners"

was attacking from the west the line

Describes Sinking of Liner.
London. Aug. S1.-The Evening News
publishes a dispatch from Las Palmas,

high seas, is the authority OF the
Las Palmas correspondent, and in an
interview ne gives an account of how
the great liner was destroyed.
Lieutenant Deane was not on board
the German liner; he had been sent
over To the collier Arucai, from which
the liner was coaling.
When il was seen that the Kaiser
Wilhelm was doomed the German cap
tain sent his sword, his dispatch box
and letter to his wife TO the collier,
his secretary being his messenger.
Previous TO doing this the captain of
the liner had announced that he would
himself blow up his command rather
than surrender.
Collier Fastened to Liner.
When the High Flyer opened fire
ON the liner, Lieutenant Deane con-
tinues. the collier was still fastened 10
her by one hawser, and owing to some
delay certain prisoners on board the
liner did not get chance To leave the
ship. The Kaiser Wilhelm was bow on
