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.

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.

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."

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.

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 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 Eternag and that whatever :night he-‘ fall ot nr nations they, at all events., would be led to a superior destiny on earth and receive the highest places in Heaven.

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- df tile Soul; The blush of shame and . ` `,.¢“: . ‘ .. -_ 1-... . patlble with slavery. When they spoke 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.
