GERMANS OCCUPYING
LIEGE BUT BELGIANS
STILL HOLD FORTS
[Continued From First Page]
single Belgian soldier remains i n the town of Liege, as they are
all quartered in the forts.
As far as can be learned by the Belgian general staff some
120,000 German troops were engaged at Liege. They are said to
have been so weakened as to be unable effectively to attack the
forts. On the other hand it is argued that it is not possible for
the forts to c ncentrate their fire on the town of Liege itself.
The next development in the situation is expected to be the
arrival of the Belgian main army, leported to be advancing rapidly
from Louvain in the northwest to attack the Germans occupying
the town of Liege.
Frenchmen Put to Death
on Platform of Station
Paris, Aug. 10, 2.45 A. M.—How
five young Frenchmen were shot and
killed in Germany is graphically de
scribed in an affidavit of Jean Demon
bynes, a returned student, who de
clares, furthermore, that two Italians
traveling in the same train met the
same fate.
The first Frenchman to be killed
had shouted: "Long live France!" at
Lorrach, a town of Baden, where he
was awaiting a train. According to
the affidavit, he was immediately ar
rested, placed against the wall of the
station and shot.
Three other French youths, who
■were among the srm.ll crowd detained
at Lorrach by the Germans, protested
at the killing and were toid to shut
their mouths. They were then led to
the place where the first Frenchman
was shot. A group of officers fired at
them and they fell. Women in the
vicinity wept, the affidavit recites,
knowing what had happened.
Another Frenchman who shouted
"Assassin!" was likewise shot, the
affidavit says, while the two Italians
were killed on the road between Wild
shut and Immendingen. One of them
was killed in an argument over the
closing of a train window and the
other because he objected to a Ger
man sitting on him.
Austrian Cruisers Open
Fire on Montenegrins
By Associated Press
Bari, Italy. Aug. 10. via London, 1
A. >l.—After the Austrian cruisers had
bombarded Anttvari, Montenegro,
damaging the wireless station and the
electric works, they directed their fire
to the adjacent hills, in which rr."•ny
Montenegrins from the town had
sought refuge.
These refugees returned the fire,
whereupon one. of the cruisers re
doubled its attack upon the town and
Its suburbs, destroying many houses.
One cruiser then entered the port and,
resuming the bombardment, destroyed
the maritime station and storehouses.
The warships then sailed in the direc
tion of Cattaro, Austria.
Germans Proceeding Into
France Through Luxemburg
Brussals, Aug. 10—via London
10,25 a. m.—The Germans are pro
ceeding into France chiefly through
Esch, a town of the Grand-Duchy of
Luxemburg ten miles southwest of
Luxemburg, where they have cut
down trees and dug trenches. They
have razed the village of Meri.
Wooden platforms 400 yards long
for the loading of horses and guns
have been constructed.
Unprecedented Conditions
in Export Trade of Coal
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 10.—The European
war has caused unprecedented con
ditions in the American export coal
trade, according to the Black Dia
mond, the organ of the coal Interests.
The result, the paper says, will be that
the trend of the trade, outwardly at
i.Jeaat, will be determined by the buyers
IVIO XnAY EV EN ING,
rather than by the producers. In
quiries are received from South Amer
ica for enough coal to tide over the
period of the war.
Consumers are electing to buy in
the United States. This is because
coal brought from Australia and
Japan wil Ibe subject to seizure be
cause one is a British colony and
Japan may become an English ally.
It is reported that ships will start
as soon as possible from Rio Janeiro
to the United States to carry back
coal. At one eastern port 200,000
tons of coal have accumulated, and
more, it is said, is in transit.
Germans Enter Luxemburg
and Destroy Properties
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 10, 2.25 A. M.—Dur
ing thi fierce fighting of the last few
days, says a dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph from Brussels, a large num
ber of officers as compared with pri
vates were disabled owing to their
distinctive uniforms. A great many
surgeons in particular fell.
The Belgian government has de
cided against the, expulsion of the
Germans, although the country is in
fested with spies and German agents,
who make desperate efforts to reveal
and frustrate the plans of the military
authorities.
A German major was the first to
cross the bridge entering Luxemburg.
He found his way barred by a cabihet
minister, who turned his automobile
across the bridge and, taking a copy
of the Berlin treaty from his pocket,
showed it to the major, who re
marked: "I am acquainted with it,
but have orders which I must exe
cute."
Immediately afterward Marie Ade
laide, grand duchess of Luxemburg,
drove up in a motor car, which the
chauffeur turned lengthwise across
the bridge, while the duchess ex
claimed: "The neutrality of Luxem
burg must lie respected. I shall tele
graph Emperor William."
The German officer answered: "You
had better go home quietly."
When the commander of the Luxem
burg army remonstrated the German
officer, pointing a revolver toward the
commander, retorted: "If these are
not your methods, they are ours.
Clear out."
Soon the work of military destruc
tion began. Villas and farmhouses
were demolished, says the correspond
ent, and the thickets cut down for
strategic purposes.
From Luxemburg to Rodange the
fields are. devastated and houses razed.
Trenches have been dug. Whoever
casts a glance at these is arrested as
a spy.
Germany secretly moved 900,000
men to the Belgian and Russian fron
tiers during the week ending August 2
with the result of surprising and over
prlsing the vesting forces at the outset
of the war. Men were dispatched
without adequate provisions and am
munition.
German Troops Are
Rapidly Concentrating
St. Petersburg, Aug. 10, via London,
2 p. m.—The regular troops of the
German army who hitherto had been
scattered in small detachments along
the frontier are now concentrating
near the Russian border in brigades
composed of two or three regiments
each, all in readiness to take the field.
The positions in the border villages
have been occupied by units of cav
alry and infantry of the German army
reserve.
No serious encounters have occurred
yet on the frontier, but frequent
skirmishes between outposts are re
ported while German military aero
planes fly daily in the direction of
Kovno, capital of the Russian province
of the same name which has an out
let on the Baltic.
German Forces Said
to Be Going Backwards
Brussels, Aug. 10, via Paris, 6.15
a. m. —The Belgian general staff to
day says the situation in regard to
the Germans has modified but little
since Saturday. However, the Ger
man forces are said to be going back
wards before the advance of the
French troops, a considerable effective
force of which has got into contact
with the German advance guard. It IB
reported that the entire territory to
the South of the Meuse, has been
cleared of German soldiers.
The French and Belgian armies will
take the offensive simultaneously in
conformity with a concerted plan of
campaign.
Dispatch Tells of
Occupation of Liege
London, Aug. 10—3.30 a. m.—A
dispatch to the Express from Brussels
timed in that city at noon yesterday
says the Germans entered Liege on
Friday night and occupied the town,
although the forts were not taken.
The occupation was accomplished de
corously.
General Von Emmich summoned
the principal citizens and imprisoned
them as hostages in a cltadal in the
center of the city to prevent the forts
firing in the German gunners who
were entrenched in the public squares
to overawe the inhabitants.
The German troops have been billet
ed in the schools and public buildings,
but not in private houses. General
Von Emmlch's men also have been
ordered to pay for all purchases at the
stores which remain open.
Most of the inhabitants of Liege
remained In their cellars during Fri
day night but came out on Saturday
upon finding that General Von Em
mich was not permitting excesses.
The General issued a proclamation
accusing civilians of firing on German
troops, and threatening to destroy the
town If this was repeated.
Liege presents a strange picture to
day, .Soldiers of opposing arrives min
gle freely in the streets. Piles of
bodies awaiting indentitication lie
under shrouds in the city.
Mass Formation Broken
by Heavy Machine Guns
London, Aug. 9. 3.05 A. M. —Tele-
graphing from Brussels, the
spondent of the Daily Chronicle says
of the fighting at Liege:
"The Germans tried to overpower
the forts by Hinging immense bodies
of men against them in mass forma
tion. The last Prussian assault on
Boninells reminded one of the early
days of Port Arthur. The infantry
melted away before the machine guns
of the defenders.
"The morale of the Prussians was
entirely broken toward the end of the
general attack. The casualties among
the German officers were considerable.
The attackers ran short of rifle am
munition."
Germans Replenishing
Their Supplies at Liege
Paris, Aug. 10.—3.20 A. M.—lt is
officially stated that patrols of the
French army in Belgium have covered
the entire region of Eifel, a hilly plain
in Rhennish Prussia on the left of the
Rhine. They found traces of the Ger
mans along the Ourthe river and east
of Neutichateau.
At Liege the Germans appear to be
recovering and reprovisioning. A
large number of German squadrons
that had yielded ground to the French
are now in the vicinity of Tongress.
A number of German prisoners have
been sent to Namur and Charleville.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
GUARDSMEN FROM
THIS CITY AWARDED
MOST OF TROPHIES
25,000 Visit Gretna Camp Over
Sunday; Harrisburgers Swell
the Big Crowds
Special to The Telegraph
Camp of Instruction, Mt. Gretna,
Pa., Aug. 10.—An assemblage of peo
ple conservatively estimated at 25,000,
yesterday visited the National Guard
camp here.
Colonel William A. Mann, of the
Third infantry, United States army,
the commandant of the camp, review
ed the First brigade in command of
General Wm. A. Price at 4 o'clock,
and at 5 o'clock he reviewed the natty
Fourth brigade, in command of Gen
eral James B. Coryell. The Philadel
phia brigade was given a flattering
reception along the line of march by
admiring friends, but it was nothing
like that tendered to the Fourth bri
gade, for the crowds were largely from
Central Pennsylvania points, and they
paid proper homage to the several
regimental organizations.
Colonel C. T. O'Neil, of Allentown,
the senior regimental commander in
the State led off the Fourth brigade
review with his soldierly looking
Fourth infantry, and was followed by
the Eighth infantry, in command of
Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, of Har
risburg, and the fine showing of the
command brought ;.pplause at various
points along the line of spectators.
The Sixth infantry, commanded by
Colonel Thojrias Biddle Ellis, brought
up the reai\
Local Companies Prominent.
The Eighth regiment and the two
Harrisburg compantcs figured very
prominently in the events of the day.
A casual observer in the regimental
streets might have been led to be
lieve thai most of the visitors came
to visit Colonel Hutchison and his sub
ordinate officers and men, so crowded
were the regimental and company
streets. The officers of the regiment
entertained a considerable company
of guests at their mess, and the offi
cers and men of Companies D and I,
of Harrisburg, had so many visitors
at the noon and evening mess that the
provisions were well nigh exhausted.
Both of the companies were the
envy of the regiment in the evening?
when the entire regiment assembled
at headquarters to witness the pre
sentation of trophies won at the recent
rifle competitions of the organizations.
Colonel Hutchison himself made the
presentation and made a speech in
which he paid a glowing tribute to
the Harrisburg companies which made
almost a clean sweep of the prizes.
He encouraged all the men of the
regiment to greater effort, and im
pressed upon them the value of ex
celling in the use of their rifles.
To Company I, of which Captain
Frank E. Ziegler is the commander,
was presented the E. J. Stackpole
trophy as the first prize in the rapid
fire contest: the Colonel Henry Mc-
Cormick trophy, the gift of Vance C.
McCormick, as first prize in the com
bination matches and the Colonel W.
W. Jennings trophy, as second prize
in the slow fire contest. Quartermas
ter Sergeant Virgil B. Kennedy and
Corporal John A. Rogers, the mem
bers of the team who won the trophies
for the company, were presented with
medals as their individual property,
while the trophies stand merely as
company property so long as they
can be successfully defend, as they
are perpetual prizes.
To Company D, of which Captain
J. J. Hartman is the commander, was
presented the Major Lanfe S. Hart
trophy, as first prize in slow fire
match, and the O. M. Copelin trophy,
as second prize in the combination
competitions. Private Albert L. Dunn
and Private Charles Fairall, the
members of the team, were awarded
individual medals for their skill. To
Company C, of Chambersburg, Captain
C. B. Danfelt, went the only other
prize, the Captain Thomas F. Malone
trophy, as second place in the rapid
fire competition.
Distinction For Local Company
Another distinction fell to the lot of
Company I, of Harrisburs, that being
the only company in the entire two
brigades in camp, which has a full
quota of fifty-eight non-commissioned
officers and men and three officers,
that being -the regulation number.
And what Is more they are all in ser
vice in camp. The personnel is also
of the best in the history of the com
pany.
Sheriff H. C. Wells and the members
of his family, were among the Har
risburg visitors. Private Ned Wells,
the sheriff's son is a member of Com
pany I, and the visitors spent the day
as his guests.
Private Kaiser, of Company D,
Eighth infantry, fell from the ranks,
suffering from sunstroke, as the or
ganization was marching back to camp
after company drill on Saturday after
noon.
The first detail asigned for guard
duty in Company D consisted of Ser
geant Howard Shickley, and Privates
Bell, Brandt, Border, Boughter, Car
michael, Craver, Ehler and Fair.
Mrs. William F. Schell, wife of the
first sergeant of Company D, spent
a part of the day in camp, and later
left with her cousin, Elmer S. Miller,
in the latter's automobile, for Myers
town, where she will visit the Miller
family until her husband's tour of
duty here is completed. Mrs. H. W.
Hagy, of Progress, also spent the day
In camp with her husband, who Is a
duty sergeant in Company D.
Captain Harry M. Bassler, pastor of
the Second Reformed Church at Har
rlsbarg, and who Is the Chaplain of
the Eighth regiment, on Sunday morn
ing conducted a service at headquart
ers which was attended by all of the
organizations' of the regiment.
Captain Edward Laubenstein, of
Harrlsburg, is spending several days
the guest of Colonel Hutchison. Cap
tain Laubenstein spent over twenty
eight years in the service of the Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania and he
has not missed an encampment since
1876.
Water Supply Pat Oat
of Commission at Camp
By .Associated Press
Mount Gretna, Pa., Aug. 10.—Sol
diers of the First and Fourth brigades,
National Guard of Pennsylvania, had
an opportunity to learn just how vital
a factor water Is in camp life when
the water supply of the instruction
camp here was put out of commission
by a bad leak In the pipes to-day.
For several hours the leak remained
undiscovered and It was believed the
trouble was due to a fault in the
pimping machinery. In the mean
time the men had to carry every drop
of water used in camp either from
the Hotel Conewago or from the lake.
Both places are a half mile from the
nearest part of the camp and fully
three miles from the more distant
commands, so that the mere task of
providing water was hard work.

:
!
112 Plots Now Under Cultivation; ]
Borough Youngsters Learning
Meaning of Thrift
Whether or not the war is going to
increase the high cost of living isn't
worrying a part of Steelton's popu
lation a little bit—that Is that part
which Is fortunate enough to have un
der cultivation one of the 112 fertile
plots in the Steelton Civic Club's gar
den school on Cottage Hill.
Here every day from sunrise till
after sunset one may see a consid
erable part of the borough's boys and
girls busily hoeing, weeding, sprinkling
and cultivating their little gardens,
and, besides supplying their homes
with a considerable part of their gar
den produce, learning new lessons In
thrift.
"This season." said Mrs. G. P.
Vanier. chairman of the garden school
committee, "Is proving one of the most
successful seasons we have ever had.
Rvery one of the sixty-two plots for
children between the ages of 10 and
14 years Is under cultivation, as is
also the fifty-odd family plots.
"All of which goes to show the In
estimable benefits that may be derived
from the garden schools which are
conducted by the civic clubs and kin
dred organizations throughout tlib
country," she went on. There was a
time when the population was rural
and the boys and girls had their
chores and household duties to per
form. In these days in towns and
cities there is little, almost nothing, of
the kind that these boys can do unless
It is specially provided. Public school
gardening is a proved success in train
ing the children. It reaches the par
ents through the children and creates
an interest in the home gardens,
which alone can Immensely reduce the
cost of living. If back yards are put
to use as gardens, if the vacant lots
of cities are used, they will serve to
reduce the cost of living and inspire
people with a new hope and courage
which in many cases is the only thing
lacking for the display of thrift, the
beginning of prosperity.
"In classroom studies there must be
definite attention to thrift if children
are to learn the happiness there is
in it. The rapidity with which money
and Interest 'grows' is not realized—
the arithmetics fail to emphasize it.
There is too little knowledge of prin
ciples which govern safe Investments
as the fifty to one hundred million
dollar losses In 'wildcat' stocks have
demonstration in recent years."
Not only are the garden schools In
Steelton teaching the borough's young
folks lessons In thrift, but they have
done much to improve the appearance
of the borough. The Civic Club, in
connection with its garden school,
offers five prizes, one in each ward, to
the family that have the best-kept
yard In Its district .

Martial Law Proclaimed
in Belgium Saturday
Berlin. Aug. 10.—Via London. 7
A. M. —Brussels representative of the
official news agency here telegraphs
from Goch that martial law was de
clared in Belgium Saturday and that
all Germans liave been ordered to
leave the country as soon as possible.
The correspondent says that what
happened in Belgium during the past
several days surpasses the imagination.
After war was declared mobs demol
ished all business places which either
belonged to Germans or handled Ger
man goods.
Every escutcheon hearing allusion
to Germany was removed, and any one
looking like a German was attacked In
the streets r made the object of sus
picon of espionage.
The most improbable anti-German
reports were spread, the corrspen
dent says, one of which was that Ger
man soldiers had tried to murder
General Leman, the governor of
Liege.
Thousands of Germans have left
Belgium since Thursday under the
protection of the American couaul, for
Holland. They were also chivalrously
protected by Belgian officers and civic
guards, who as late as Friday, to
gether with the municipal authorities
undertook to put a atop to the mania
for espionage.
ANOTHER TETANUS VICTIM
Jacob Schuitz, aged 40 years, a
grocer of Dlllsburg, la the third te
tanus case to be admitted to the Har
risburg hospital within the last two
weeks, all three cases developing from
small scratches not being properly
treated.
