HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL
Won EMMIcH, In France, Dec. r.
(Delayed-viA courier to 6eriin).-
The story Of the capture Of LIese has
Just been told to me BY General En-
mich, the German comm ander whose
forces took the city and made Gen
eral Leman, the Belgian defender,
prisoner.
This 10 the first time Genra' Won
Emmich's own story Of the taking OF
Liese has been told. The city prop
or fell within thirty-slx hours after
the actual assault Of the German
troops began. The losses, foreign
newspapers declared the Germans
suffered in the capture Of the Belgian
stronghold, actually exceeded the nu-
merical strength Of the army which
attacked the city. General Won Err
mich smiled ~ he made thls state
meat. He said he could not sax Nshae
the German iosses were but added !:
aYou know 1 was reported to have
committed suicide. That Of course,
was ridiculous, and tended TO show
how absolutely unreliable are some
Of the war reports"
General Won Emmich has been re-
ported dead on moro occasions than
any other German general. He Is ap-
parentiy IN the best Of heahh and
splrits however, and good for many
more campaigns. The capture OF
Lleae which was believed to be inn
pregnable before the big German guns
began to hammer at its forts, is only
an incident Of tho war to General
Won Emmich. Win visited his
headquarters and asked him to tell
me the story Of the taking OF the
city he quickly stated first that the
German attacking force was not
nearly as large as reported and then
explained:
1--WE began the actual attack upon
Lieqe in the evening. TWO forts were
taken by storm and we took posses
sion Of the city at six o'clock in the
morning Of the second day. We re-
mained in the city but short time
and marched on toward Namur. Tho
bombardment Of the forts about Liege
which still held out. was left to the
heavy artillery remaining behind to
complete the reduction Of the posi-
ton"
This German commander Is a war
rior. He 10 not blind TO the suffering,
to the hardship and the havoc that
have been wrought about him, but
now that Germany 10 In the war Il
must be conducted with the utmost
vIgor, he believes.
"The terrible scenes Incident to
war often tug hard a. mems heart
strings" he said. "But aside from
making the conflict as humane as
possible, there is little rom FOR oensi-
mentality"
1.-THE attack upon Liege began Aug
ust 4. On August 6, General Leman
was taken prisoner by the Germans
while insensible in the ruins of one
OF the forts which the. Germans had
reduced and captured. This is prob
ably the period of fighting General
Won Emmich refers to in his inter
view with Won Wiegand.

Mrs. Scott was forced to return. But she is gcme as are all members of the Scott family and proposes to challenge the winner and try 1t again. Mollie Hobson started off fine and was mak- ing great time when her team broke away and continued on to the other end of the course where they were stopped.

MOUNTAIN STATES TAKE OVER WIRES
 TO COUNTY SEAT
New Copper Wires Strung Be-
 tween BiSbee and Tombstone Give Much Added Clearness in Speaking Between the Cities

The purchase of the Western Union telephone line to Tombstone by the Mountain State Telephone and tele- graph company was made public when the connection of the new line was made Saturday at noon, although the transaction was made over a month go.
 Since the purchase was made the Mountain State company has been running a new and larger line to the county seat, which is of heavy copper wire which has greatly improved the hearing over the wire
 In putting in this new line the com pany has been at bad disadvantages because of the convict workings along the line. Every day for some time the men working on the line were forced Go restring wires, because the convicts working the road between here and Tombstone blasted the line, tearing down the wires and doing dam age
 Now that the line is completed. the service between the two cities will be much improved In fact the improve ment has already been noticed by those who have used the line since Saturday.
