JOYFUL NEWS TO GERMANS,
Who CELEBRATE IN BERLIN
GERMANS IN PARIS
ARE ILL TREATED

BERLIN. August (via Lon
don)-The Norddeutsche Allge-
mefne Zeitung gives a long re-
cital OF the i'll treatment of Ger
mans living in Paris.
Since the end of July, says the
paper, they have been insulted
in the streets and have been
obliged to ask for police protec-
tion, which has been afforded
only reluctantly. Even the rail-
ways refused to accept their
luggage. Az a result hundreds
of Germans sought asylum in the
embassy and consulate.
After mobilization, the paper
charges. German hotels, restau-
rauts, shops and residences were
pillaged and wrecked, while the
police stood idly by. Many Ger
mans were dismissed from their
employment without their wages
being paid, and persecutions of
every kind were indulged in.
Germans living in the suburbs
were subjected to the same kind
of treatment.
As a result of the energetic i'm
tervention of the ambassador
5000 Germans were assisted to
leave France. Others, without
homes, were accommodated In
the schools. The ambassadOr
himself wns present when the
rupture of the relations between
the two governments was an

for police protection until he

port.

PARIS, August S-An official detailed
account of the battle at Liese covering q
period between August and :, was is
sued here today. In summarizing the
operations the account says:
"The Germans lost 5000 dead. Twenty
four guns were captured and one general
| was made prisoner. The German forces
numbered 10000: the Belgian defend
ers 10000.
The German attack lacked cohesion.
On the contrary the Belgians utilized
their reserves with consummate skill.
The German artillery in general was
badly supported by dense attacking
columns, The guns were badly served
and inaccurate.
None Hurt at Fort Evegnel.
"The Belgian forts held intact. Not one
soldier was killed and not one wounded
during the three hours bombardment of
Fort Eyegnee, the steel cupola Of which
was not damaged.

accurate. proof of which was the de-
struction of two German heavy pieces.

attacked Fort F1eron itself and the inter-
vening space between forts Fleron and
Evegnee and also the interval between
forts Fleron and Chaudfontaine.
THE attack from the beginning was
without dash. The glacis had been sown
with obstacles by the Belgian infantry
and the artillery fire from the forts was
heavy and well placed.
The Belgian attack from the intervals
between the forts was energetic. The
German offensive movement soon was
checked and the engagement then became

Observers in Paris were pre-

rejoicing was all the greater,

OPERATIONS AT LIEGE
OFFICIALLY DEPICTED
Germans Unable to Stand Before Deadly and
Slillful Firing of Belgians in Early
Days of Fighting.

Barchon spread out into a fan-shaped
formation to the extreme right and flowed
around the fort. 1t made for the CITY
but Belgian reserve brigade delivered
prompt counter attack and threw the
Germans back in great disorder. Their
losses were enormous.
The German heavy artillery fire was
concentrated against Fort Barchon, but
seemed badly directed. The heavy Bel
gian artillery dominated the German fire
and DESTROYED two Of their heavy guns.
The German central column attacked
Fort Evegnee. The Belgian reply was
two actions-artillery cross-fire from
Forts Fleron and Barchon, supported by
counter attack by the Belgian infantry.
The German advance was stopped. At
this moment Gen. Won Emmich sent
flag of truce, demanding surrender He
informed the oommandant. Lieut. Gen.
Leman. that If he did not surrender i'm
mediately a Zeppelin dirigible would drop
an explosive upon the headquarters OF
the general staff.
Refusal Is Prompt.
THE refusal was as summary as the
request. The fire from the forts re-
opened heavily, and the offensive also
was taken by the Belgians. The Ger
mans abandoned their positions and re
tired for a distance of six miles. The
Belgian troops followed up their ad
vantage without delay. and the German
retreat was accelerated.
"Coincident with these events on the
northeastern forts, the second part of
the German attack was being carried out
upon the southeastern defenses. The
German troops sought to make their way
between the Belgian positions on the Huy
side. They also attacked Forts Boncelles
and F,I:lbourg. but they encountered en-
tanglements, which had been numerously
placed, and were appreciably retarded.
They continued their advance and made
direct attack, which failed. Their
losses were heavy.
Fierce Bayonet Fighting.
THE Belgians defending the interval
numbered only 1,J00, and they fell back
a mile and a quarter This was a critical
mc-aent. Gen. Leman threw all his
troops which were not engaged upon that
part of the defense. and 1900 men
massed against the attack. 1t was night,
and fierce bayonet fighting ensued. The
enemy was held back.
I'm the obscurity there was some con-
fusion and one small German column OF
infantry succeeded in entering the city.
The German officer wore an undress cap
to deceive the Belgians. He spoke Eng
lish. To complete the deception his men
carried their rifles at the shoulder. They
got to within fifty yards Of general head
quarters when the gendarmes recognized
them and opened fire. Violent street fight
ing followed, and the Germans were
driven out of the city. Gen. Leman then
transferred his headquarters to one Of the
forts
