SIX WEAK BRlGADES
 CAPTURED CITY OF LIEGE
According to Statement Emanating from Headquarters of General Stein.

Berlin. via Copenhagen and London, Aug. IS. 9:07 p. m-A series of state ments on the Liege enigma is pub lished from the headquarters of Gen eral Stein, according to which French soldiers were sent to Liege before the war to instruct the Belgian troops in the defense of the Notifications.
 Tt was impossible to protest against this, says General Stein. but after the war began this conduct had to be regareded as an infraction of Belgian neutrality by France. We had to act with all speed and mobilize. Regi-- ments were sent to the fontier and marched on Liege. Six weak bri- gades on peace footing, with some cavalry and artillery, took Liege.
 ''The brigades were moibilized at Liege and there received as first re- inforcement their own reserves. Two other regiments came later. Our mob ilfzation has just finished. Our eni- mics thought that 100000 Germans were at Liege and, owing to diffl- culties with the commissariat, were unable to advance. This however, was a mistake. There was another req son for the pause.
 "Now, the forward march can be- gin and our enemies will have an opportunity to convince themselves that the German force is well SUD- piled with food and arms. The em- peror has given word not to sacrifice another drop of blood to capture the Liege forts.
 The enemy did not know our meth cd of attack and believed themselves secure in the forts, but already the fire of our weakest big guns had forced the forts which they shelled to surrender, or quickly demolished, burying the garrisons in the ruins The Liege Notifications will no longer serve our enemies but will be SUD- port to the Germany army''
