official statement by General
Won Stein regarding the siege
of Liege.
The German commander de-
nies the loss of twenty thou
sand men killed, but does not
give the figures of his losses.
He says only a small num-
ber of Germans were engaged
III order to mask the move
ment of the bulk of the army.
The enemy's advance at
tacking force was completely
annihilated, he declares. He
admits the forts remain intact,
but explains saying:
1.-The emperor did not wish
to sacrifice life unnecessary,
but as soon as heavy artillery
arrives the forts will be taken
without the loss of a man."
Won Stein admits the cap
ture of the forts is a difficult
problem because of the unfav-
orable ground about them and
because the population of the
town, including women. shoot
at the Germans from behind,
firing indiscriminately, hitting
surgeons and the wounded.
