The last remnants of German Cav-

A wireless message from Berlin

_OF THE SIEGE OF LIEGE “°"““"““‘"?
- ° -vigny, they abandoned large quanti-
“£"¥°‘5 ‘ ities of wal' materials.
PARIS, September 12.-One of the
most complete and spirited accounts of the terrific fighting around Liege
during the early dhys of the Gernhan assau t was obtained by the special correspondent of the London Times. English newspaper men were on the field in Belgium at the time that hostilities broke out. Although ex- pelled later, they were able for n brief period to play the traditional role of the war correspondent. It is doubtful if any subsequent engage- ment will be reported so graphically at first hand. '
“'l‘he terrible twelve forts of
tlve,, "which exacted so heavy n toll Liege," writes the Times representa- froin the Germans, are like great iron ant hills. The guns project from above, _and under them is n-smooth metal approach known asftbe glacis,, which .the attackers must traverse in the final rush. Guns and forts, bow- ever, do not bulk large on the land- scape, and-on that beautiful autumn evening, August 3, the town of l.ieB0 with its spires and its boulevards, by no means suggested that a sang. uinary encounter would be fought there within a few hours.
"On that night the advance guard
of the Kaiser-s army was approach- ing Liege from the westward. Stories have been circulated to the effect. that the army was in 8005 Spirit# for the task, but that is not true. The officers' certainly believed that they had before' them s,'joke task, as one of the prisoners pill: it, but with the men it was otherwise. These German soldiers were gloomy and be- wildered. They scarcely realized ivby they were there;.'they did not wish to be there. and thel' had heard 51' ready terrible tales of the Cossscks who were about to enter their coun- try and devolir lt. -This sullen army. therhesme to Liege--to A city of which the defenders were animated bl/ but one sentiment-passionate patriot- iam."

olllcers-terror dividing itself betwixt discipline and death-the mighty fus- illiuie was open-ed. Avenues were opened up in the German front, Masses of dead began to accumulate in the fields before the forts. ‘lt was death In haystncks/ a llclgian soldier said in describing the spec- tacle.
“M-eanwhile, in thc deep trenches
between the forts, and uniting them, the Liclgiuu troops lay liriiig nt the enemy with their rifles and doing good execution. ',i`hc forts tbundered, Fresh detachment of the enemy nigh. ed toward the trenches, was broken, i-ihattered-recoiled in horror, iroin the fearful filsillude. Yet still they cniile, more and .more of tliem, sheep driven ruthlessly to the slaughter according to time table und without the slightest allowance being made for any possible change ol circum- stances."
Germany lost three men to every
one lost by Belgium. The former‘s artillery fire was very poor; there appear to have been ' no big siege guns. Furthermore, the Germans ex- hibited a pitlahle fear of ithe bay- onet. They simply could not stoni- ach the sight of cold steel, and the Belglans slaughtered them in droves in many hand-to-hand struggles.
"Amazing as it may sound," writ.-
es the Times man, "it is certainly the case that the bayonet charges more than anything else struck ter- ror into the German heart. At the sight of steel#-and the men behind it -the troops oi the Kaiser in very many instances turned and ran. In other cases they held up their hands and surrendered, and a large number of prisoners were taken. Those that fled were struck in the back and kill- ed like cattle. It was horrible. Then the cavalry charged them and finish- eil the work." . _
Fighting kept up incessantly dur-
ing the 3d, ith, and 5th. About 100, 000 Germans were engaged, but the forts of Liege, with their garrison of_35,000 men, held out valiantly. On the morning of the 6th, General Le- inan, the Belgian commander, delib- erately mads it possible for a troop of Uhlans to enter the town of Liege. Not one of the Ublans came out alive; ,_ second patrol which fol- lowed them was captured. During the whole day, Thursday, August 6, the attack continued with unabated force. The scenes were fearful, carn- age heaped upon carnage, thousands of broken human bodies massed to- gether in fields ploughed up by a terrific cannonude. Tae matchword of the Bslgihhs was: "Germany must not pass; for the sake of home and country iiicrnlalli muBt D0* PBEM" ...The Times' account emphasizes the fact that the German army was not only sullen, weary and dei-eutcd, but fnmished. “Added to the burden of bad tactics,"'it runs, “the unhappy soldiers of the Kaiser had to bear the penalty of a faulty cominissur- lat. For two days, two daYB of 0°"-38 and terrible shorts. many of them did not brealcliread. The prisoners frankly confessed that capture had meant s relief from great hunger and a return to strength. The big guns had not come when they were re- quired, and the bread had not come. Small wonder that already the heart of the German soldier had begun to quail.
“A remarkable indication of Belg-
ian courage and sang froid, which il- lustrated the enormous moral differ- ence between the two armies, occurr- ed on this last day of the great at- tack. An examination for a degree had been timed to take place at the university. It was nt first proposed to abandon lt. But not so. The ex- amination took place, and then the candidates trooped from the hall to the battlefield, where many of them lay dead four hours later."
On the night of Thursday the posi- tion, so far as distribution of forces was concerned, remained unchanged. Then during the night rain fell in torrents. bringing untold tortures to the wounded Germans still lying in the open. and delaying I the ad- vance of the heavy liels guns. In 'tha morning the proud war machine oi Wilhelm II asked the defenders of one of the smallest states in Europc for .n armlstice. It was refused, hut the rain had made further ight- ing impossible and for two days the opposing armies lay snllealy inactive The result! of the battle that wal finally renewed are known to the Am- erican reading public.

SUFFERING HEAVY LOSSES.
PARIS, Sept. 13.-Reports have been
received to the effect that the Germans are contlnllally retreating. They have evacuated Lille and Amiens, and thc men waiting for the levy from Ghent have abandoned that and rejoined their army. The Belgian army has reoccu- pied Tormondc and all East Flanders, as well as the provinces of Antwerp and Llmhourg, which are free of Ger- mans.
The Germans are suffering heavy-
losses.
The Germans occupying the Argonne
region in France are ilow giving way. They have also evacuated Saint-Die, and all along the line are being thrown back out of France, with the Allied troops ill hot pursuit. The German army that is still lloldlnfits/g'rolind is that in front of Verdun, but it is expected to break when the Allied. forces in the straight reach it.
The situation is the most favourable
for the Allies since the campaign opened, and the belief is that the flrstu stage of the campaign has been decided with a great victory for the Allied troops.

SUHNIIITY OF ,THE SITUATION
The most gratifying news since the
outbreak of the war was flushed ovcr the wires late last night when from
Paris came the message that-
General Joffreofficlally reports
to the French Government that the Allies in the last four days fighting have won a glorious vic- tory. The Germana are retreating all along the line, abandoning pri- soners and wounded and immense quantities of supplies and muni-
tions of war. True, a decisive victory for the Al-
lied arms had already been achieved when the German fleet was given a severe blow by the liitrepid British Jack Tars, but with the supreme coil- fidence that all Brlialii _rests in its Navy, the victory off lieligoland was more or less takiin as a mater of course. And when thc skulking main German fleet does gdecidc to come ollt and fight, its defeat will also be a matter of course. But with the Allied Armies in Belgium and Franco, op- posed to the full might of the dan- gerous foe, all had not always been well. To learn now that the at times sorely tried armies have won a glori- ous victory over tlie great German pllalanxes is assuredly the most wel- come and most glorious anllouiiceillelit that has yet been received, and is thc climax to the masterly strategy that has been revealed lil the plan of cam- paign of the Allied Generals.
That the German armies in Franco
have been given a serious blow finds confirmation in a despatch from Rome to the effect tllat Austrian reinforce- ments arc being rushed from Prague to aid the Germans who are hard- presscd in France. If tlils report is true, then the German armies in France are in a worse state than the undenlonstrative official announce- `inents would indicate.
In Belgium the Germans have had
a disastrous reverse* in attempting to capture Antwerp. The Belgians open- ed the flood gates in- the dykes which form the outer bulwark of the city, and the unexpected on-rush of water so surprised the invaders that they cut the traces of the horses in the machine guns and artillery and heat a hasty retreat, leaving artillery, aminunitionnnd transport wagons behind. At Tremonde, further to the sout`h, the (lermans were' defeated 'with heavy losses, but not before they had plllaged the houses and burned the city, sending thc burgomaster and many leading citizens to Germany as prisoners.
iting Albert has gone to the front
to assume the offensive.
In France, the position of the
.Allies was better than since the be- ginning of the war. The tbird.FrencIi army corps captured all the artillery of an opposing German corps, and reports of the enemy’s retreat to- wards Bclgium was received from the aeroplane scouts.
The German u.rmy is reported to be. in a perilous condition. It is ru- moured the l(aiser's second son has been killed an-d the fifth son seri0uSlll ,inlured.

'observed in the Baltic not far from
Hando Island, and cannonadlng was heard from the vicinity.
A peculiarly interesting item re-
ceived ill last night's budget is that an active movement is on foot in South Africa for the formation of a corps of picked British and Dutch Scouts for service with the Allied Ar- mies. It is proposed tllnt this corps shall be commanded by General Chris- tlan Rudolph De Wet. the Boer com- mander who was such a thorn in the side of the British forces in the South African war, and who was only correl- led after considerable difficulty. Such n body of men, especially qunliflcd as they would be, under such n crafty leader. would be a most valuable au- quisitlon to General Frencli's forces. lt would be the irony of fate, loo, to find French and De Wet, who fought each other in the South African War now fighting side by side. lie Wet, lt may be mentioned. is now Hon. Gell- eral Chrlstian De Wet, Minister for Agriculture, Orange River Colony.

There was an unusually large congre-
gation in St. James Church last night, when the pastor, Rev. Dr. T. F. Fuller ton, preached a characteristically ex- cellslit sermon on the poi-tentous sub- ject. "What Britain is Fighting For." The doctor took his text from the eighth chapter of the Gospel of St. John, verse 32, "Ye Shall Know the
auth. and the Truth shall make ye
e." ` Jesus Christ. he said, was speaking
to men who thought that they had their nobility of freedom straight from the hand of God. Ha was speaking to a race that srrogantlrclsimod that. they .were thvspecial children of they

They did not understand that .leans Ohrist was speaking of a spiritual freedom. a freedom from the galiing bondage of sin. a freedom from
sensuality and selfishness. They were fres i a sense. yet they were uncon- scious f a greater slavery-the slay ery

Jesus Christ cami- to them to reveal the heart of the Eternal God and enlighten them. nnll He gave them that grasp of truth that would enable them to respon-l to every divine injunction.
More than that, I-Ie came to them
with that supreme ideal of divine love and the possibilities of humanity that He enabled them to study His revel- ation in His character that their relig- ion would bc based on love, on intelli- gence, on truth. The gradual amel- ioration of man's condition, his physic- al and social life, the advancement of the individual and the nation in civil and political freedom, the suppression' of barbarism. unknown before the ad- vent of Jesus Christ, the multiplies tion and elevation nf pleasures and recreation-all those things had be- come a possession of humanity; and when they were traced to their founda- tions, it was found that the brighten ing and bettering oi' the human race had been mainly brought about by thc disseminatlcn of truth that was taught by Jesus Christ. a truth that is incom-

of tho constitution of thc Empire they meant the organic unity which is the Emplre'e system of freedom. Did they know, asked the preacher, what it would meall today, when they thought of the freedom that had been brought lo them by the perpetuation of thi- teaching of Jesus Christ, if the foes of the Empire were victorious? It would mean the most galling external tyranny under a despotism which would repress their civil and social, and even their Individual and personal liberty. They all knew very well that when Austria served that ultimatum that simply asked Servls to como Into utter subjection to ber she was bark- ed by Germany, which was an attempt to bring about an attack oil France.
Britain would have been a traitor
to truth had she not stood by her ally in keeping. with her treaty, and it would have meant in the end the tri- umph of German despotism. it would have crushed the freedom out of Bel- gium, would bnve destroyed the pulse of Europe as it beat for the true and beautiful. and would at once have eclipsed the power of Britain and thus destroy her influence in the nations of the earth.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The British
War Ofilce is upprizerl of a ltllssiail victoryl' The Austrian invasion nl' South Poland, which pciletratell as far as Opolc, Krusnoslziv and Zi-infos, was protected on the right by the army operating cast. of Lcliihcrg. This latter army was completely dc-lcatcil by the Russians on Sept. lst nvnr Leni- berg. From that moment it beciiliie evident that. if llle Austrian right .flank could not continue a stubborn resistance, the retreat of the main Austrian army from South Poland would be imperiilcd. By capture of Tlioinaszo, on Sept. 10, it is probable thc Russians drove a wedge through this Austrian lille.
