TEUToNIZING LIEGE.

No better illustration can be given of the
ifar-sightedness and thoroughness of the Ger
man military machine than the elaborate re-
building operations in course Of completion at
Liege. In the comparatively short time since
!, it's forts were wrecked by the invaders ar
tillery, Liege has been rebuilt into model
German fortress, and is to be used as an object
lesson for students in the German military
schools It is built as though the Germans
expect to stay.
According to Associated Press reports, the
Belgian forts have been repaired, with a single
exception; much of the old artillery has been
replaced with Krupp fortress cannon of the
latest type, and even the newest ideas of Ger
man and Austrian military experts have been
embodied in the placing of ordnance, in the
direction of ramparts, in trenches, observation
places, highway mines, secondary batteries and
block houses. =. -. ~.
There is an intricate system of connecting
works between the various main points OF the
ontiying defenses. Great attention has been
paid to the use of villages and forests for con-
cealing Notifications. The trenches are flat
with the ground so as to be visible only from
above, and are protected with concealed barb
wire entanglements. The trenches are drained
and partially covered for protection against
rain and snow, while the width is ample enough
to allow carriage of stores and ammunition
without interfering with the troops. r
A considerable part of the hard labor in
volved in completing the trenches is done with
a military traction trench digger" which
cuts furrow about three feet wide and three
feet deep
Most of the old Belgian forts have been en-
stirely remodelled; some have been raised, some
lowered, with view to greater efficiency OF
shell fire or to increasing the sweepof country
which their guns can command. There are sew
|eral false batteries cleyerly constructed to at
tract aeroplane or cavalry attack. ].
The town is dull and quiet. All shops and
cafes are required to close at clock in the,

W. W. RocKH1LL.

W. w. RockhiIl, whose nntimeIy death oc-
CURED in Honolulu last night, was splendidly
capable and public-spirited American.
His long service in the United States diplo-
matte corps was marked by series of sue
cessful terms at many widely diverse posts,
Inparticular his diplomatic career in the Far
East was such as to establish the standing Of
the United States in the Orient and to enhance
Uncle Sam s reputation for friendliness to ma
lions and for fair play.
The deep regard in which he was held in
China was attested to when he was chosen as
confidential advisor to President Yuan Shin
Kai He would have done great work for
China and for international comfy had he
lived to take the Peking post. In the death of
Mr. Rockhill, as in the death few months ago
