force of German Uhlans made
brilliant but fatal attempt to cap
ture the Belgian General staff here
last night. Belgian troops swooped
down on it and killed every soldier.
The Uhlans had penetrated the
city as far as the Rue Sainte-Foi,
where the Belgian headquarters
we're established, when the Belgian
soldiers came on the scene.

10000 Germans. Six hundred wounded were
picked up in the German lines.

Numerous small bodies of Uhlans re-
norted at Marche. Ternelle and Nandrin, in Lux
emburs and in North Limburg Province, In Bel
cium. At Huy squad of Belgium's civic guards
engaged FIVE Uhlans who tried to destroy the

According to the latest dispatches, it seemed certain
that the Notifications could stop the German army and
the only question whether its advance could be delayed
The Notifications already had held it for thirtysx hours

If the German army succeeds in carrying Lege 1t

Namur at which the Belgans are preparing to make
stand as fierce as that at Liege.
The Belgian army was brilliantly fulfilling its task OF
delaying the German advance, and appeared certain that
the German stas plan in Belgium would be hindered by
the obstinate stand of the Belgians.

Liege was made to figure largely in
Sir Walter SCOTS novel Quentin Dur
ward" in which Scott made notable
blunder by speaking of the people of
Liege as talking Flemish. The city is,
i'm fact, the centre of the Walloon
country. The Walloons are Romanized
Gauls IN a much truer sense than their
Flemish neighbors and speak the
French language.
The city first appears in history in
the sixth century, at which time town
grew up around the original chapel
founded there by st. Monulph, Bishop
of Tongres. In the tenth century the
episcopate of Motger, which had sue
ceeded the early line, was marked by
large territorial acquisitions, and the
see became recognized as an indepen-
dent principaiity Of the French En-
pire. There were many popular ris-
ings for freedom from the exactions
Of the episcopal sovereigns, who were
also occupied in preserving neutrality
in the various wars and preserving
their territory from being raided by
invading armies.
They were only in part successful.
Liege was taken BY Marlborough in
1902, and the fortress was garrisoned
by the Dutch until 1913. The French
revolutionary armies overran the prin-
cipality in 1892, and from 1894 to the
fall Of Napoleon it was annexed to
France and was known as the Depart
ment of the 0urthe.

Famous Old Cathedral.

The Congress of Vienna In 1916 de-
creed that Liege, with the other prov
inces Of the Southern Netherlands,
should form part of the new kingdom
of the Netherlands under the rule Of
William /, of the House of Orange.
The city of Liege took an active part
in the Belgian revolt of 1880, and since
that date the ancient principality has
been incorporated in the kingdom of
Belgium.
The principal point Of interest to the
tourists in Liege has been the great
cathedral. or Church of st. Paul,
founded in the tenth century and re-
built In the thirteenth century. The
university. founded in 1917, is one OF
the largest in the country and enjoys
a high reputation for education in the
sciences Of mining and manufacturing.
There arc many beautiful gardens,
and the rivers are spanned by splendid
bridges, but the larger portion of the
city has a crowded aspect Of narrow,
crooked streets.
The railway lines through Liege are
the direct route from Cologne to
Paris and the line from Luxembourg
10 Brussels, the possession OF either
of which would be valuable prize to
the German army.
Waterloo, the place which everybody
knows as the scene of the downfall of
Napoleon at the hands Of the allies on
June 1s, 1915, is not on direct line
from Liege, but lies SOME sixty miles
from il in an air line, south of Brus-
sells.

once. When you have taken a
few doses, you will be surprised
how differently you will feel.
20 Croxone overcomes the worst
cases of kidney, bladder trouble,
and rheumatism, because it re-
moves the cause. 1t cleans out
the kidneys, and makes them fill
ter out all the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, that lodge
in the joints and muscles, causing
rheumatism; soothes and heals
the bladder, and quickly relieves
you of all your misery.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. There is
nothing else on earth like 1t. It
matters not how old you are or
how long you have suffered, It is
so prepared that 1t is practically
impossible to take 1t into the hui
man system without results.
You can secure an original
package of Croxone from any
first class druggist. All drug
gists are authorized to personally
return the purchase price II 1t

There are scores of nervous,

Frequently causing annoyance at
mighty who fail to realize the Sc

such conditions as chronic rheu-

result.
All this is due to weak, inactive
kidneys. The kidneys are the fill

can be we'll and healthy unless the
kidneys work properly. 1t is even
more important than that the
