LIEGE, Sept. 6.-(via Aix-La-Chap
pelle and The Hague, delayed by the
British censor. THE battered forts
OF Liege, for days the admiration OF
the entire civilized world, because OF
their heroic defense by Gen. Leman,
are the tomb Of thousands of brave
men. Once representing mans great
est ingenuity as defensive position,
they are today great ruins OF broken
concrete and twisted steel. Deep in
the ruins are the bodies of many of
the defenders, as few survived the
fire OF the deadly German siege guns.
II is almost impossible to approach
them, SO horrible Is the stencil from
the decomposed bodies of some Of the
bravest soldiers that ever fought In
battle.
Accompanied by Lieut.. Commander
Gherardi, naval attache at Berlin, and
Surgeon Ohnesorge. Of Philadelphia, l
was today permitted to inspect the
ruins Of the various forts. None sur
vived the terrible rain Of explosives
from the new AZ centimeter siege
guns which are the latest product Of
the Krupp foundry. That Liege was
able to hold out at all was due en-.
tirely to the failure of the German
commander to have these guns
brought from the rear.
The guns were mounted five miles
In the rear of the forts. Yet SO ac-
curately had the German aviators To-

ammunition In the magazines OF Forts

nothing can be seen but a great
jagged hole in the ground 80 feet

thrown great distance and the
chilled steel turrets OF the fort are
twisted like tin. Parts Of the broken
bodies OF the gallant defenders were
recovered and buried but others can
not be reached and lie, decomposing
pinned down by the twisted steel and
broken concrete blocks.

PARIS, Sept. 10.-German rein
forcements have arrived at the Ger,
man center and right, and 1t was re-
ported today that the kaisers forces
are making a desperate effort to re
cover their lost ground. The main ef-
fort, as on each day OF the battle up
to the present. has been directed
against the center. Over the stretch
of so miles between viry-le-Francois
and Montmirail, the lighting is unusu'
ally severe. but Gen. Gallieni insists
that the French lines are holding
The British-French left has been
heavily reinforced by the troops with
drawn from the defenses OF Paris
who are not needed here at the pres
ent time.
All of the reports received here are
of the most. roseatte character. The
Germans are declared to be well nigh
exhausted with their efforts or the
last fortnight. Even their fresh troops
now arriving from the rear are de.
clared TO fail to display the spirit OF
the earlier conflicts. They are also
admittedly having trouble bringing
up supplies, especially rifle and artil.
lery ammunition.
The reports persist here that an ex-
tremely strong expedition has been
pushed forward from Ostend and hat
the German lines Of communication
are seriously threatened. IL Is stated
that the retreat OF the German right
beyond the ourcq and the Marne riv-
ers was entirely due TO this surprise,
although at what point the fianking
attack was delivered, Is not known
here. /
