warships had captured the North German Lloyd steam
ship Kronprinz Wilhelm. Confirmation was lacking.

son and his daughters today over the
death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. Church
bells were tOlled in every city and ham,
let through which the funeral train
passed on its way to Rome, Ga.
Crowds stood at each station along
the Southern Railway, bareheaded and
silent. Small groups were gathered
even at crossroads stations as late as
midnight. Flowers were sent aboard the
train at Spartanburg and Greenville, s.
c., by committees of citizens.
President Wilson remained beside the
casket until / o clock this morning. Sc
cret service men maintained the vigil

Half Of the Attacking Party
Destroyed Before Recall
Command Is Given

After meeting with such desperate re-

the German force which entered Bel
gium by way of Limburg province, Hol-
land, planned an advance directly west
ward by way of Tongues, north of Liege.
1t occupied the former place and made
the attempt but was heavily repulsed.
Reports were current that the River
Meuse was running red with the blood
of killed and wounded Germans. There
was still some skirmishing between out
posts but it was not on large scale.
From the Brussels war office came
definite confirmation of earlier sur
misos that'the German troops expected

Had they accomplished this they
would have flanked the French and Bel
gian frontier fortifications extending
east from Lille, avoided the strong
French defences between Lafere and
Chalons and have had to take only the
comparatively weak forts along the
River Somme to open way for a di-
rect dash against Paris.
Tne whole plan was upset by the
furious resistance offered by the Bel
gians,
What the Germans had In mind was
revealed by war plans found on the
persons of captured Uhlan officers. The
same papers were considered to leave
no doubt that the force which attacked
Liege was the main German army of in

Nancy, France, Aug. 1l.-FollOwing
news of the French evacuation of Null

reported from Belfort TODAY to be on
their way in large numbers to assist
General Joffre in his effort to drive
the Germans back upon their main line
of frontier defenses, between Neu Brei-
sach and Strassburg.
All indications were that heavy en-
gagement was in progress today be-
tween the French and Germans, per-
haps aided by the Austrians, in south
ern Alsace, and as it was clear that the
French were heavily outnumbered,
there was the greatest anxiety lest help
failed to reach them before they were
forced back across the frontier
Every effort was also being made
here to secure definite news from north
of Nancy, where an invading force of
Germans who crossed the frontier of
Luxemburg by way of Eseh was report
cd operating about Longuyon.

Battle Rages Today.


(By United Press staff correspondent
Brussels, Aug. 1l.-Hard fighting be-
tween Belgians and French ON one side
and Germans on the other was in
progress north of the River Meuse to-
day.
The Belgians stir held the Liege
forts.
The alies-belgian French and Eng
lish--were moving reinforcements from
Namur to the Liege garrisons.
The war office here published today
the following account of the German at
tack on Fort Seraing Sunday night:
"For three hours the Germans vain
ly charged the fort 3 approaches. Fin
ally they retired, beaten, leaving 500
dead. Many of the dead were caught
among the stakes and barbed wire en-
tanglements in front of the fort. Dead
and wounded were scattered over an
area of half mile square.
Belgian wounded brought still further
details of the Fort Seraing lighting.
The German attacking party included
several regiments of infantry. There
rushed across the fields toward the fort
on the massed formation, the fort artil-
lery tearing gaps in their ranks as they
approached.
Germans Are Reckless.
The advance guard nevertheless
reached the first line of ENGAGEMENTS,
baricade of fened brush, saplings and
barbed wire waist high, and began tug
ging and chopping vainly at the OBJ
struction in an effort to force its way
through.
While this was going on the rear
guard was continuing its advance, at
the charge.
The entaglements were well within
range Of the Belgian machine guns,
which poured a constant rain of death
into the struggling mass of Germans,
slaughtering them in heaps.
The party was not recalled, however,
until fully half its number had been
killed or woun~ed. The number of the
former was placed at 800, Of the latter
at 5000, left on the field.
Among the killed, it was reported,
was Prince William Of Lippe, colonel
Of the Seventy First Prussian infantry.
1t was announced also that 5000
Germans had been captured at Liege
| tnnS tar.
Heavy detachments of French artil-
lery passed through here today ON their
way to help the forts defenders. The
streets were filled by crowds, cheering
ana waving Belgian and French flags.
The Germans were reported moving
infantry, without supporting artillery,
westward from Limburg, Holland,
through TonPres, a Belgian town north
Of Liege. 1t was believed they were
Advancing on Waterloo and Brussels.
French and Belgian troops were moving
to meet them.
The allies were thought here to be
maneuvering also to prevent reinforce.
ments from reaching the Germans at
Liege.
