BRUSSELS, (Via London, 5:20 p.
m.), Aug. 10. The commander of
the forts at Liege, according to an
official announcement, reports that
all tbe forts ere intact. The soldiers
manning them are in fine health and
spirits and are amply supplied with
provisions and munitions. There
is no cause for alarm.
The population of Liege main
tains its calm and the official view
is that the situation is quite satis
factory. All the approaches to Brussels
are well guarded to prevent any
thing iu the nature of a surprise
from reconnoitering parties of Ger
man cavalry. Small bodies of Uh
lans have been signaled in all di
rections. Generally they have lost
tbeir bearings and surrendered ini-
medLutoly on being challenged.

. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Pierre
Mall, Belgian consul at New York,
today said that according to his ad
vices from Belgium only two of the
forts at Liege remained standing to
day against the German Invasion.
These two, he natd, would be aban
doned and the Belglau soldiers
would retreat in good order. They
would proceed to Naruur and Join
100,000 French troops. Nainur la
strongly fortified, and the consul
predicted a great battle there.
LONDON, Aug. 10 (1 p. m. Liege.)
Messages received here today in
official quarters from the Belgian
general staff assert that the occupa
tion of the town of Liege by the Ger
man troops has not had the slightest
influence on the strategic situation,
it is declared th?t bo long as the ring
of forts around Liege remains intact,
as still it is, the guns command the
principal roads by which the Geri
mans can advance. This, It Is pointed
Ut, makes it impossible for the Ger
mans under present circurpstances to
receive supplies or ammunition.
Every line of railroad between
Liege and tbe German frontier is al
leged to have been destroyed and the
Belgian troops are said to have
blown up every bridge, culvert and
tunnel. Tbe Belgian general staff
declares that it has received reports
that the Germans, expecting to take
Liege In a few hours, brought with
them only sufficient food for a fe
days and little ammunition, their
plan being to rush Liege and mako it
their base of operations.

GER W ARIES CLASH
New Moves in
Big War Game
Official reports from France
give no definite details of the
strength of the French In Alsace,
near the Swiss frontier, where
General Joffre Is believed to be in
command. Austrian troops have
been hurried thero to the aid of
the Germans and an Important
battle Is believed to be imminent.
Indications are that another
forward movement of the main
French force Is In preparation
near MeU, as official reports from
Paris say the German troops have
Inundated the Sellle valley be
tween MeU and Nancy to hinder
the French advance, but the quan
tity of water Is understood to be
insufficient to prevent the French
forward movement.
Aside from the flanking move
ment through Belgium, by which
the French assume the German
army was trying to get to the rear
of the great French fortresses on
tho frontier, indications were
that a strong German advance
is to be made on France by ay of
Luxemburg.
A German reconnoitering pa
trol penetrated forty-six mllea into
French territory.
The London Dally Telegraph's
Brussels correspondent says that
Germany Is mobilizing 1,000,000
of the Lansturm, or final, reserve.
Numerous skirmishes are re
ported along the Franco-German
front, none, however, very seri
ous. Tho French troops are reported
in Paris to have seized a German
aeroplane factory at Muelhausen.
German troops occupy the town
of Liege, but not of the surround
ing forts, which were still holding
out today, according to Belgian
reports.
A lull In the fighting was an
nounced from Brussels, which olty
expects that the next clash will
occur when tbe allied forces have
completed plans to take the offen
sive against the German troops.
Brussels reports the German
cavalry retiring before the French
advance.
The German cruisers Goeben
and BreHlau have evaded their

LONDON. Aug. 10.-(:10 a. m.) The
Rome correspondent of the Exchange.
Telegraph company forwards a dlspat.'Jj
from Basel, Switzerland, saying that the
Austrian troops have arrived there, com
ing by way of Constance. They comprise
30,000 men of tha Fourteenth corps, under
command of the grand duke of Tuscany,
which, were withdrawn from Tyrol to
prevent them being tent against the
Servians.
They will reinforce the German troop
encamped at Asleln. where the Germans
are massing on the hills and la tha forti
fications following the French success In
Alaace.
I Hiring the fierce fighting of the last
few days, says a dispatch to the Dally
Telegraph from Brussels, a large number
of officers, as compared with privates,
were disabled owing to their dlstlnctlva
uniforms. A great many surgeons, in
particular, fell.
The Belgian government Is Infested with
spies and German agents, who make des
perate efforts to reveal and fustrate the
plans of the military authorities.
A German major was the first to cross
the bridge entering Luxumburg. He found
his way barred by a cabinet minister who
turned hla automobile across the bridge
and taking a copy of the Berlin treaty
from hla pocket showed It to the major,
who remarked:
"1 era acquainted with it. but have or
ders which I must execute."
Immediately afterwards Marie Adelaide,
grand duchess of Luxemburg, drove up In
a motor car. which the chauffeur turned
lengthwise across the bridge while the
duchess exclaimed: "The neutrality of
Luxemburg must be respected.. I shall
telegraph Emperor William.
The German officer answered, "Tou
had better bo borne quietly."
When the commander of the Luxemburg
army remonstrated, the German officer,
pointing a revolver toward the comman
der, retorted: "If these are not your
methods they are ours. Clear out."
Soon work of military destruction be
gan. Villas and farm houses were de
molished, say the correspondent and
thick trees cut down for strategic pur
poses. From Luxumburg to Hod an a
the fields are devested and houses rased.
Trenches have been dug and whoever
casts a glance are arrested aa spies.
