German artillery bombarded Liege
and its protecting forts throughout the
night and the assault on the city was
renewed at dawn today in the midst. of
a terrible storm. A heavy rain is fall
ling and swelling the river Mouse and
its tributaries. This will impede the
German advance.
The conflict is raging with greater
fierceness than on other days of the
attack. An official report to the war
ministry states that a division of Ger
man cavalry that crossed the Mouse
was surprised and practically annihi-
lated by the Belgian cavalry and in
fantry, supported by battery of light
artillery.
The German route was complete,
the Belgians capturing more than
5000 prisoners from seven shattered
regiments of the Kaiser's dashing Uhl-
ans. The German cavalry fought
bravely, but were moved down by the
Belgian batteries as they charged at
full speed.
BeIgians RepeI Attack.
Twice they attempted to break the
ranks of the Belgian forces but each
time were hurled back with frightful
losses. While the Uhlans were charg-
ing the Belgian infantry in the face OF
murderous machine gun and rifle fire,
they were struck on the left flank by
5000 Belgian cavalry that had arrived
from Louvain, where King Albert 8
troops had concentrated for defense
of Brussels. The Belgian cavalry
struck the Uhlans with irresistible
force and shattered their attacking
ranks.
The fleeing German cavalry was
surrounded on the bank of the Mouse
and practically all of them were cap
tured although many plunged into the
river in their attempt to escape and
were drowned.
In the meantime the German artil-
lery along the river kept up an inces-
SAINT bombardment of Liege and its
Notifications. The invaders who
fought their way on to Bressoux, a
suburb of Liege, later drove back its
Belgian defenders after desperate
hand to hand battle that lasted thir-
teen hours and now are in full con.
troll of the little town.
Fort Fieron Holds Out.
Fort Fleron, battered by hundreds
of German shells has been isolated
from the rest of the Notifications, but
it's little garrison is fighting desper
ately. Every open space between the
defending forts proved death trap
for the Germans. In trenches pro
tected by barbed wires and mines the
Belgians repulsed numerous attacks
from the direction of Bressoux.
The cyclist infantry of the Belgian
army has been of great help in repell

lations governing the conduct of col

promulgated today at the conference
