German soldiers occupying a farm at
Soiron near Hepinster in the province
of Lieee had been fired on by three
wOrkmen the village was given over TO
pillage by the German troops and the
three workmen were taken out and
shot by a firing squad.
1t is confirmed that the Germans
ceased their forward movement along
the river Curthe, which joins the
Meuse a mile above Liese and
movement north of Liege is expected.
The Gazette states that a secret
German arms depot plentifully sup
piled has been discovered in Brus-
sells.
OCCUPATION OF LIEGE.
The newspaper lie Soir gives the
following details of the German oc-
cupation of Liege.
1.-THE Germans on seeing spaces on
the forts open before them, entered n
small groups on Thursday evening.
Among those who entered were Cen
eral Won Emmich, commander of the
tenth army corps and his staff. At the
citadel which is the barracks, the
governor and the burgomaster of
Liege were informed that unless the
town and forts surrendered. the Ger
mans would lombard the town and
raze it completely. On orders from
his government the governor then left
the town.
"On Friday night, seventeen notab les
of Liege, head ID by the bishop, bur-
gomaster and sheriff, with some depu-
ties proceeded to the citadel and beg
ged General Won EmmiCh not to bonn
bard the town. The general replied
that the town and forts must surren-
der or he would begin the lombard
nent. The Germans asserted that the
peasants in the district had commit
ted hostile acts against them.
"All the members of the deputation
were detained as Hostages and it is not
yet known whether they have been
liberated.

statement:

Pensacola believe that it is for the
best interests of the city that | give
up the office of city commissioner
am ready to bow to their decision.
Continuous agitation has done more
to injure the fair name of this city
than anything else, and I particularly
regret the agitation at this time when
so many important projects are con-
templated, necessitating the sale OF
the city's securities. No matter what
the outcome Of the recall election,
bond buyers are going to be some

apparent If a change is made in the
administration of the city's affairs.

nothing that can be fairly criticised
