GERMANS ADMIT LOSS OF 25,000 MEN.
(Special to the Review).
Brussels, Aug. 7. That the Germans admit they
lost 25,000 men at Liege has been officially announced
by the war office, which obtained the figures in con
nection with the German request for an armistice.
The commander at Liege telegraphed the request to
King Albert, who hesitated to grant it, fearing the
Germans would take advantage of the suspension and
bring up reinforcements.
ARMISTICE IS ASKED BY GERMANS.
Brussels, Aug. 7. The Germans have asked for
a 24 hours' armistice at Liege. It is believed they
asked this to enable them to save their wounded and
bury their dead.
GERMAN TROOPS SLAUGHTERED.
Brussels, Aug. 7. The German troops were slaught
ered by the wholesale at Liege early today. Belgians simu
lated evacuation of the outer fortifications. The Germans
rushed in to seize them, and were brought within a circle
of the Belgian main defenses. The Belgian artillery opened
fire with fury. The strong German force, ambushed, was
practically annihilated. Besides keeping up a terrific bom
bardment of the fortifications the Germans began raining
shells into Liege itself as they advanced. Many buildings
were damaged. Numerous fires were started.
GENERAL ENGAGEMENT IS DENIED.
London, Aug. 7. A North Sea clash between the
British and German fleets is reported from many sources.
Some claimed the British gained a victory, but this is un
confirmed. Rumors are current that from seven to 19 Ger
man warships were sunk. Other accounts were that they
surrendered. The Admiralty refused to discuss the re
ports. Trawlers reaching Whitby reported seeing the de
stroyers in action. One trawler was authority for the state
ment that 19 German warships were sunk, but this source
of information was refused. First Lord of the Admiralty
Churchill denied in the House of Commons that a general
engagement occurred between the British and German
fleets.
CRUISER RAINBOW IS AT SAN FRANCISCO.
San Francisco, Aug. 7. Short of fuel and provisions,
the cruiser Rainbow, on its way from Vancouver south to
join the British warships Shearwater and Algerine, has ar
