of the fighting at Liege is supplied by
the correspondent of the De Telegraf

"On Tuesday, August 8. a battalion
of the 125th German regiment opened
an attack on Leige. This body was
repulsed and literally cut to pieces
Not more than 80 men remained of the
original battalion. I arrived at Liege

detained on my way as a spy.
Outside Liege, to the east, found
German troops in semicircle, within
a radius of about four miles. and that
General Leman, commander of the
Belgium troops, had ordered a general
counter-attack. The inhabitants hid
in their cellars all wednesday.
ION Wednesday afternoon we heard
a great explosion and knew the bridge
over the Meuse had been destroyed.
THE Belgium troops made an on
slaught during the night of Wednes-
day with great success. Occasionally
shells hurled by the Germans fell in
the town. Lookout men, On seeing the
flash of the gun, would ring warning
bell.
Il understand the mayor of the town
was prepared to surrender in order to
save the beautiful city from lombard
ment, but General Leman forbade it.
"The German aim is to attack the
Belgian army before the arrival Of
French reinforcements, which are hur-
rying forward under forced marches.
A general engagement between the
Germans and the French and Belgians
Is imminent.
The French have already effected
partial junction with the Belgians and
a French army of 100000 is reported
to be approaching from Lille. At the
same time it is reported that the Ger

was also heavy.
The renewed assault was made
morning following the re-
fusal of the Belgians to grant the re-
ouested armistice of "a hours. The
Belgian commander declared he fear
ed the Germans would use the time to
bring up reinforcements.
King Albert in person commanded
