FLEEING FROM LIEGE
BRUSSELS, Aug. 7. It is stated
that the German seventh array corps
is retreating towards Alx La Chapcllc.
Tho correspondent of tho Dally
.inn til urusciB says mat up 10 a
o'clock last night an armisttco had
not been granted as requested by tho
Germans but that tho fighting at
Llcgo had ceased several hours be
fore. A thousand Belgian wounded
havo arrived at Brussels. Tho Ger
man bombardment of Llcgo was so
severe that It necessitated tho depar
ture of the population. Tho Germans
the correspondent says, retired bo
cause they were exhausted by the at
tacks which they had made for two
days and wcro In danger of being
.wiped out by tho firo of tho Belgian
forts. Tho Belgian losses wero great,
but less than those of tho Germans.
Many Bolglag officers wero killed.
One cannot exaggerate, tho correspon
dent says, tho heroism or tho Belgians
or the superb valor and skill of Gen
eral Lceman, governor and comman
dant of Liege.
