BELGIAN ACCOUNT OF FIGHTING

Brussels, via London.-Trains filled
with wounded and fugitive noncom-
batants arrived here from Liege and
neighboring towns. The military trains
with prisoners on board were sent
from Liege to Antwerp.
The Belgian troops appeared to be
IN the best OF spirits when the trains
left Liege. They declared that il
there had not been ten Germans 10
one Belgian not one German would
have gotten through their lines. Y
Though in good spirits, the Belgians
were partially exhausted, having
fought for fifty hours without rest.
Some OF the wounded Belgians, eye
witnesses of the fighting. say they
cav Germans mown down by hun
dreds in front Of the trenches and
cntanglements by the gun and rife
fire of the Belgians, but that they
were replaced by others who crawled
forward like weasels.
In certain places In the fighting
zone the ground was covered with
dead, the burial Of which. IL was said,
would take at least a week.
The Germans before Liege request
ed a twenty.four hours armistice, ac-
cording to an announcementsmade by
the Belgian Ministry Of War.
The Ministry stated the Germans
admitted their casualties numbered
$4,000.
1t is assumed the Germans asked
for an armistice to pick up their dead
and wounded.
lie Peuple says the bombardment OF
Liege caused six or seven fires in the
city. German officers then came to
the city with a white flag and de-

GERMAN ACCOUNT OF
OPERATIONS AT LlE0E

BERLIN, via London.-Ths
official German account Of the
siege Of Llese says:
ION Wednesday the German
advance guards penetrated along
the entire Belgian frontier.
"A small detachment tried a
coup dc main with great bold
ness at lieee. Some OF the
cavalry entered liese with the
Intention Of seixino the COM
mander Of the forces, who only
saved himself by flight.
"An attempt on the fortress
Itself, the Notifications Of which
are modern, was unsuccessful.

tress In contact with the enemy.
"A hostile foreign press will

manded the surrender OF the place.
They received a negative reply. and
the bombardment was resumed.
Martial law has been proclaimed
throughout Belgium. \
An Official OF the War ONCE ex.
plained the operations around Liege.
He said there were twelve forts, six
on each bank of the River Meuse.
Their distance from the centre OF the
TO five and one-half miles.
The losses suffered by the Belgians,
although they are much less numer-
Gus than those of the Germans, in
clude many officers. One thousand
wounded are here.
At Maastricht one of the three Ger
man attacking columns recrossed the
Meuse, retiring to Aix-la-Chapslle.
The sending OF the German wound
ed to Holland ended.
German prisoners whom corre-
spondent questioned acknowledged
freely the courage and tenacity OF the
Belgian troops opposing the German
advance. The prisoners were treated
with consideration, and on the way
to Brussels were supplied at the sta
tions with beer and bread.
The Belgians give the German sol
diers credit for great courage under
fire, but declare the Kaisers officers
showed poor Judgment In ordering
their men forward in frontal attacks
on the Belgian positions, thus throw
ing away their lives by the hundreds.
The German troops entered Liege.
Desperate fighting occurred In the
streets. The Belgians have captured
72 German cannon.
In an official statement issued, the
Belgian War Office says that the Ger
mans admit that their losses In killed,
wounded and prisoners In the fighting
at Liege reached a total OF $4,000
men.
An attempt was made by the In
vaders to carry the fortifications al
Liege by storm and again the attempt
+, failed. With the strong reinforce
ments and with siege guns placed in
position to shell the city from long
range. German lines swept up against
the forts and, as on the previous days
OF fighting, were repulsed with heavy
losses.
The Germans at 1870 p. m, de-
manded the surrender OF Liege. The
demand was refused. An armistice
of two hours then followed to enable
both sides to collect their wounded
and the bombardment was renewed
at 4 p. m. There are terrible scenes
in and about Liege as a result of the
artillery fire.
Wounded Germans who reached the
Dutch town of Maastricht say that
Belgian farmers in frontier hamlets
fought desperately in opposing the in
vaders and were killed In their homes

AN eyewitness described as .
mighty spectacle the orderly advance
OF the German army, which rolled
slowly down the slope toward the riv.
er, bringing a host OF machine guns
and motor wagons, the cavalry riding
through growing corn.
"On the flags OF the Lancers ap.

in green uniforms and masnifcently
equipped. but a pitiful spectacle was
provided by fifteen prisoners, ap.
parently farmers, marching with bow
ed heads and their hands bound be-
hind their backs.
Suddenly an aeroplane swooped
down from the clouds, dying low, and
then sped away in the direction OF
Liege. For three hours the troops
passed west and south as far as eye
could see.
They conversed laughingly with
the Dutchmen on the other side OF the
frontier and asked for newspapers,
which were given them. When a
Dutchman stepped over the frontier
pistols were drawn and he sprang
back to safety"

LIEGE OCCUPIED.

London.--In a dispatch from Brus-
sells it is reported the city Of Liege
has been occupied by German troops.
The number of soldiers that con-
stituted the investing force Is given
as 10000.
= They are commanded by General
Won Emmich, who Is reported to have
threatened a bombardment Of the
residence sections Of the city II citi-
gems fire on his troops.
The city authorities have ordered
ali arms to be taken from residents.
and It is believed that no attempt
will be made by civilians against the
Germans.
In a measure the message from
Brussels bears out the reports cir
culating with respect to the Kaiser's
announcement Of victory at Liege.

Paris.-After forty-years the French
are in Alsace. They have advanced
beyond the frontier at Belfort and
have driven the Germans out OF
Altkirch and Muelhausen.
The battle was superb. The officers
literally were unable to hold back
the impetuous troops, who advanced
In a wild charge, shovelling the Ger

The Germans fed before the French
and were pursued by dragons toward

The officers and men behaved with
wonderful bravery. A colonel and
seven dragoon officers were wounded
In the pursuit.
After a few hours OF rest the whole

evening. The retreaing Germans
had abandoned the forts and trenches
The Dragons again pursued the
German rear guard and the German
forces retired to Neu Birsach, forti.

The moral effect of victory will be
as great as II is startegic. 1t has
given to France all her long harbored

Meanwhile the city Is waiting for q
list OF the casualties, which II Is
feared will be heavy.
The French lost $1,000 men and
the Germans 10000 according to the
reports which have come from the

the capture OF Altkirch, the chiei
losses being at the former town
These reports are believed TO be

OUR DENATIONALIZED PARTIES

Parties are no longer national in the strict and technical sense. They have come completely under the con- trol of State laws, and the same name means different things in different states. Thus the republican party in Iowa, Nebraska or Kansas is a very different affair from the repub- lican party in Ohio, Pennsylvania or New York. The fight between the progressive and the standpatters had come earlier in those Western states and the progressives had gained con- trol of the republican name and em- blem. It will be some time before parties can become nationalized again in view of the unhealed divisions of 1912 and the State primary laws which lend themselves to diversity rather than to unity. It is hardly likely that in 1916 the men who hold control of republican organizations in the Western states will accept the dic- tation of those who control republican organizations in the Eastern states. Party lines will not reform till 192O.- From "The Progress of the World" in the American Review of Reviews for July.
