SITUATION NOT AFFECTED
 BY OCCUPATION OF LIEGE
Belgian General Staff Asserts Guns on Fort.
 Command Three of Principal Roads by Which Germans Can Advance.

London, Aug. 10.-Messages re- ceived today in official quarters in London from the Belgian general staff assert that the occupation of the town of Liege by the German troops has not had the slightest influence on that so long the ring of forts around Liege remains intact as it still is, the guns command three of the principal roads by which the Ger man army can advance.
 This, it is pointed out. makes it impossible for the Germans under the present circumstances to receive supplies or ammunition.
 Every line of railroad between Liege and the German frontier is alleged to have been destroyed, and the Belgian troops are said to have blown up every bridge, culvert and tunnel
 The Belgian general staff declares that it has received information that the Germans, expecting to take Liege in a few hours, brought with them only sufficient food for few days and
 
 little ammunition, their plan being to rush Liege and make it their base of operations.
 The same auth ority states that the German assertion of the capture of 400O Belgian prisoners is baseless and adds that not single Belgian soldier remains in the town of Liege, as they are all quartered in the forts.
 As far as can be learned by the Belgian general staff some 12O.000 German troops were engaged at Liege and they are said to have been so weakened as to be unable effectively to attack the forts. On the other hand. it is argued that it Is not pos sible for the forts to concentrate their fire on the town of Iege it. self.

business men can stick together when
ever and wherever necessary. This
ought to be the beginning of move

together on a permanent basis. There
is no use in quibbling or arguing
about it, an organization Of business
men who will lay aside petty differ

at large, is an organization worth
while.
Such permanent organization
ought to have at least one regular

BEGIN WORK ON ELECTION LAW

Two members of the committee APP

are already at work. Chairman
Stephen Brundidge and John M. Moore
of Little Rock have begun the study
of election laws Of other states, and
from these they anticipate an election
law for Arkansas which will prevent
fraud in elections First step will be
the change of the law so that the
courts, and not the Democratic or

this manner the contestant may secure
all evidence required, as it will be in
the power of the court to see that it is

1t is probable that the new law will
specify the use of voting machines.
No change can be made in count with
the machines in use, and it is aclnow-
lodged that in the count lies the evil

time necessary to assist in the draft

nous practice to become a matter of
secondary Importance. There will

early fall, but each member has been
asked to make a study of the subject
and come to the meeting prepared to
give expert advice which will cause to
be framed law which will guarantee
to the leading candidate that he will
be the nominee.
