"A NOTt.Of APPRECIATION
Belgian Vice. Consul Writes to Secre.
tary Mcmillan.

The following letter of appreciation
from the Belgian vice-consul at Sc
attic, Wash, to Secretary Mcmillan
on receipt of the carload of flour was
received this week and is reprinted for
the benefit of those who generously
contributed.
Vice-Consulate of Belgium.
Seattle, Wash, Nov. q, 1914.
To the Twin Falls Commercial Club,
Twin Falls, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
Mr.. Otto A. Case, secretary of the
Seattle Commercial club, has turned
over to me BIZ for the 30380 lbs.
of flour so kindly donated by the noble
spirited citizens of your city in aid
of the suffering Belgians.
On behalf of these poor people,
wish to express to you, gentlemen,
my sincere thanks and high apprecia-
ton of this most generous gift, SO
welcome and some timely. The misery
the sufferings of my countrymen and
countrywomen in Europe is great in
deed and beyond description.
Less than four months ago, they
were the happiest and most contented
and Industrious people of any nation
in Europe. Today they are wanderers
on the face of the earth, millions of
them are on the verge of starvation.
The whole of that little country is
held forcibly by powerful neighbor
and to escape the horrors of war, those
women and children, who are inno-
cent victims in this deplorable strug-
gle, had to flee precipitately, leaving
everything behind, whilst the men are
fighting for their homes and liberty.
Those women and children are penni-
less and have to subsist ON the charity
of other nations, SO complete is their
ruin. Such condition is without par
allel in history.
The United States, always ready to
answer the call of the oppressed and
the depressed, is the only country we
can appeal to; to look elsewhere would
be in vain
We Belgians, feel grateful to those
kind-hearted, generous people, who
have so freely, willingly and SO sub
stantially come to our relief, and
can assure you that the recipients of
these donations will forever bear a
grateful remembrance of what this
country has done for them
Thanking you once more, believe me,
Yours very respectfully,
JOSEPH HERTOGS,
Vice-Consul of Gelgium.

HER0|sM OF LEMAN
Belgian Generals Defense Of
LieQe Told BY German.
Finally Blew Up Last Of the Forts and
Was Found by the vletors IN
conscious Beneath Maeseo
Of Oebrlo.

Rotterdam.-This 10 the story Of the
fall Of Liege in the simple, graphic
language Of German oficsr. It was
told to Dutch reporter
General Leman's defense of Liege
combined all that is noble and all that
is tragic. The commander of one fort
at the moment when the bombardment
was at its heaviest, went mad and
shot his own men. He was disarmed
and bound.
The cupola of another fort was de-
stroyed by bombs dropped from Yep
pelin. The other forts were swept
away like sand castles on the seashore
before the relentless waves of our
eleven-inch siege guns.
AS long as was possible General Lee
man inspected the forts daily to see
that everything was in order. The
generals legs were crushed by huge
piece Of falling masonry dislodged by
our guns. Undaunted, Leman visited
the forts in an automobile.
Fort Chaudfontein was destroyed by
a German shell dropping In the maya
zine.
At Loncin, one Of the strongest
forts, General Leman decided to hold
his ground or die. Steadily his gun
ners we're shot down and he himself
helped to man the guns. For some
time, with mere handful of men, he
held out, but nothing could have stood
against the hail OF shells from our
guns.
When the end was inevitable the
Belgians disabled the last three guns
and exploded q supply of shells kept
in readiness. Before this General Le-
man destroyed all plans, maps and
papers relating to the defenses.
Buried beneath the debris and
found General Leman. "C'est le
General: II est mort" said q wounded
aide-de-camp.
With q gentleness and care which
showed our respect for the man who
had resisted US so valiantly and stub
generals limp form and carried him
away. We thought him dead. but he
recovered consciousness, and looking
around, said:
1T is as 1t is. The men fought
we'll"
Then turning to us he added:
Put In your dispatches that was
unconscious"
We brought him to our commander,
General Won Emmich, and the two
generals saluted We tried to speak
words of comfort, but he was silent.
He is known as the silent general.
Il was unconscious. Be sure to put
that in your dispatches" he said. and
more he would not say.
Extending his hand, our commander
said:
General, you have fought gallant
ly and nobly held your forts"
General Leman replied, II thank
you; our troops lived up to their repu.
tations"
With smile he added, WAR Is not
like maneuvers."
He had reference to the fact that
General Won Emmich was recently
with General Leman during the Bel
CLAN maneuvers. Then, unbuckling
his sword, General Leman rendered
it to General Won Emmich.
NO." replied the German COM
mander with a bow. Keep your
sword To have crossed swords with
you has been an honor" And the fire
in General Leman's eye was dimmed
