Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Liege is a fortified postion of far
greater strength than is generally ap
preciated. In the wars of the 18th cen
tury Liege played but a small part. It
was then defended only by tne citadel
and a detached fort on the right side
of the Meuse,fut at a short distance
from the river, called the Chartreuse.
Marlborough captured these forts In
1703 in preparation for his advance in
the following year into Germany which
resulted in the victory of Blenheim. The
citadel and the Chartreuse were still
the only defenses of Liege in 1888,
when, after long discussions, the Bel
gian authorities decided on adequately
fortifying the two important passages
of the Meuse at Liege and Namur. A
similar plan was adopted at each place,
viz.. the construction of a number of
detached forts along a perimeter drawn
at a distance varying from four to six
miles of the town, so as to shelter it
so far as possible from bombardment
At Liege 12 forts- were erected, six on
the right bank and six on the left.
Those on the right bank beginning at
the north and following an eastern
curve are Barchon, Evegnee. Fleron,
Chaudfontaine. Embourg and Boncelles.
: The average distance between the forts
is four miles, but Fleron and cnauaron
taine are separated by little over one
mile in a direct line, as they defend the
main line of the railway from Germany.
The six forts on the left bank also
commencing from the north, but fol
lowing a western curve, are Pontisse,
Llera. Lantln. Loncin, Hollogne and
Flemalle.
These forts were constructed under
the personal direction of General Brial
mont. and are on exactly the same
principle as those designed for the for
midable defenses of Bucharest. All the
forts are constructed in concrete with
casemates, and the heavy guns are
raised and lowered automatically. Com
munication is maintained between the
different forts by military roads in all
cases, and by steam tramways in some.
It is estimated that 25,000 troops would
be required for the defense of the 12
forts, but the number is Inadequate for
the defense of so important and exten
sive a position.
r .
Liege is the capital of the Belgian
province that bears its name. It is
finely situated on the Meuse, and was
long the seat of a prince-bishopric. It
is the center of the Walloon country.
Its population is about 170.000. The
Importance of the city today arises from
its being the chief manufacturing cen
ter of Belgium; and. owing to its large
output of arms, it has been called the
"Birmingham of the Netherlands." The
productive coal mines of the Meuse
Valley, extending from its western
suburb of Seraing to its northern fau
berg of Herstal, constitute its chief
wealth.
The great cathedral of St. Lambert
was destroyed and sacked by the French
In 1794, and in 1802 the Church of St.
Paul, dating from the 10th century but
rebuilt In the 13th. was declared the
cathedral. The law courts are installed

AEROPLANES TAKE PART
Desperate Encounter Heralded in
Vosges Mountains French Ad
vance but Not Without
Telling Toll.
PARIS. Aug. 10. 10:05 A. M. A state
ment issued by the War Department
says many skirmishes are taking place
along the entire front of the French
army. One clash with the Germans was
violent, and the losses on both sides
were serious.
The official communication adds mat
the German troops are receiving rein
forcements and that the French also
are being strengthened.
A battVs began Saturday evening on
the ridges of the Vosges Mountains.
Aeroplanes took part. The French
troops, after a desperate encounter,
obtained possession of the mountain
passes of Bonhomme and Sainte Marie.
Then on Sunday morning, when the
fighting was resumed, they took a po
sition dominating Sainte Marie-Aux-Mlnes.
Losses Reported Serious.
The French losses in the taking of
Sainte Marie are not specifically given
in the official report, which confines
Itself to declaring they were serious.
The wounded French ana German sol
diers wore taken to the French forties!
of Epinal for treatment.
A French aeroplane which ascended
during the engagement was repeatedly
fired at the officer acting as observer
of the German movements receiving a
bullet in the hip. The pilot- of the
machine, however, brought mm safely
to the ground and he was ttbie to re
turn to Belfort.
The German troops inundated the val
ley of the Seille, hoping by Uils means
to stop the advance of the French,
but the quantity of water was not suffi
cient and the French troops were able
to continue their march.
The French were in force today on
the outskirts of the Forest of Hardt, in
front of Neu Breisacii, which appears
to be occupied in force.
It is officially said that patrols of
the French army In Belgium hav.i cov
ered the entire region of Eifel, a hilly
plain in Rhenish Prussia, on the left of
the Rhine. They found traces of the
Germans along the Ourthe River and
east of Neufchatel.
German Recovery Evident.
At Liege the Germans aroear to be
iecovering and rei-i visioning. A large
'force of German siiua-lrons that had
yielded ground to the French is now in
the vicinity of T- ngress A number of
German prisoners have been sent to
Namur and Charle-'ille.
It is officially announced that the
French losses in the fighting at Alt
kirch do not exceed 100 killed and
wounded.
In the capture of Hull -sen, the
French seized a great aeroplane factory,
operated by a noted German manufac
turer. It is announ- ed that the list of
German suicides 'n France has been
increased by the death of several
women who became despondent bocause
they were under the necessity of leav
ing the country.
Detachments of the famous Turcos
or native troops from the French colony
of Algeria penetrated Upper Alsaco
today.
The Turcos who penetrated Aluace
today are Arabs recruited in Algeria,
where they are almost constantly on
active service in the Southern Prov
inces against the roving tribes of Arab
horsemen, who continually harass the
French, troops. Half their officers art
Frenchmen and the other half rise
from the ranks of the natives. They
are remarkable sharpshooters and
showed great bravery in the Crimean
War as well as in the Franco-Prussian
War of 1870-71.
