Sagacity of Gull, The sea gulls, which have- lately tracted the attention of naval men f having marked the trail of the sub- marine, and have been under govern- ment protection for several years, give turther evidence of sagacity, says The Stoninston Mirror. The past weck Quiambaug people have been amused by watching them open the hard-sheiled round clams. t this season the clam lies exposed on the bottom of the cove. The bird dives -in bringing out one with its feet, flies high above the ice and drops clam. If the shell is not broken by the fall the operation is repeated, the bird going even higher, until ‘at last the clam shell is crushéd, enabl- ing him to enjoy the choica marsel (Continued From Page Five,) taelr artillery outside the forts, which were no more able to resist those glant guns, So Liege contributed to a certain extent to the victorious defeuse_ of Verdun, Concerning monstrous guns, it will earn that ‘while the forts of Liége were de-- stroyed by German 16-inch howitzers the forts at Namur were bombarded by Austrian batteries, I picked up this information myselt i as well 8-! thousands of Belgians from German official placards posted up at Liege during September 1914. Austria a Treacheraus Nation. So while we were at peace with Austria-Hungary, while Austrian am- bassador accredited -to our govern- ment was always ‘friendly in Brussel Austrian shells were thrown by Aus- trian crews on our forts at Namur. I state that treacherous behavior of Austria, only in order to show you how prudent it was for the United tomor- | States to declare war on that nation. At Liege, events followed each other so quickly and simultaneously on so many different theatres of operations that it is difficult to give a general and accurate view of its defense. 1 shall endeavor to summarize the facts. ' German ultimatum was expiring on Monday, Aug. 3, 1914, at T o'clock a. During this morning an_immense army under the Iéadership of General Von Emmich penetrated into Belgium, Follewing the same method as during the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, the Germans sent far away in front of their troops isolated cavalrymen. The sudden appearance of these raiders ih towns where their pres- ence was unexpected was intended to throw the population into confusion. Let us come back to the defense of Liege. One column of Von Emmich's army reached Vise and tried to bridse the Meuse at Lixhe, at the very border of Netherland. This bridge when re- peatedly built was destroyed by guns of Fort of Pontisse. Other troops went in touch with forts of Barchon and Evegnee. Tirst shells of the war were thrown by guns of fort of Barchon. The two above named forts were bombarded. but th conerete and turrets resisted perfectly well the German shells. During the night betwéen Aug. % and 4 the Germans tried to break through the intervals’ between forts of Barchon, Evegnee - and Fleron. Bldody battles took .place there, but, overwhelmed, the Belgians had to give up some ground. However, forts of Chaudfontaine and Embourg’ went into action. Near Barchon the German pressure was €0 high that Belgian troops gave way in spite of the grim determina- tion. Captain of Cavalry de Menten de Horne, scion of one of old oldest and noblest Belgian families, being on pa- trol duty with a_ platoon (25 men), found himself suddenly, when pene- trating into a glade in fropt of one German squadron. Without Resitating a second,. the officer led the charge, one Belgian having to struggle with five Germans. The enemy squadron was shattered, But Few Survived. From that platoon which sacrificed itself survivors may be counted on the fingers of one hand; the others followed their captain to a glorious death; to every onme of that platoon, dead or alive, we owe a very deep gratitude. On that day Boncelles was stormed but ‘without result for the Germans, as troops who had so bravely fought near Barchon had been rushed toward “Boncelles. We are now at the terrible night between Aug. 5 and 6, when the Germans attacked in every direction. Sky Red With Fire. From the highest parts:of the city of Liege inhabitants could see in every direction burning villages on the east bank of the River Meuse: The sky was red and the roar of guns was deafening. Many deeds of he: formed, during that néght in the dark- ness, dobody can tell. General Le- man had no more thoops to send where it was most necessary. It was, im- possible for one Belgian to resist seven Germans. Retreat was ordered. heroic rear guard actions with the help of | forts givinig the troops time to cross the city and rejoin in Louvain the re- maining divisions of the Belgian army. The third division had heroically performed its duty; Liege had no more defenders but forts. Without Warning: Without Excuse. As soon as the Germans reached the edge of the slopes of River Meuse they bombarded the city without warning and. without excuse, the last Belgian soldier having crossed the city at that time. Shells began to fall in the most inhabited part of the city and Special attention was paid by Germans to gas holders. ‘They hoped to bring on a deadly explosion. Several shells hit these gas holders, but they were empty. Main pipes having been broken several hours before when a bridge was blown up by the Belgians. The city of Liege surrendered on Aug. 6 at o'clock in the afternoon, after General Leman went into the fort of Lonoin, from which he was hoping to be able to lead the’defense. This was a very difficult thing, as the Germans having cut all the telephone wires, forts could only communicate by foptical signalization. However, in spite of being surround- ed, forts were always interfering with the transportation of munitions; they were not willing to surrender, so the Germans condemned them to destruc- tion and brought up their monstrous inch howitzers. o fort, however strongly bullt, could resist shells weighing 1.800 pounds and carrying 300 pouhds of T. N. T. TForts which .previously stood very well bombardments flew into pieces. On Aug. 8th the fort of Bar- chon was destroyed; it had fired the first spells: it was the first to be de- stroyed. One after another forts on the right bank of the River Meuse were demolished. ~Without means of communication, forts were not able to locate German batteries, s they did not/ make an exchange with their en- emies. Violation of - Rights. Here is an extract from a report made by the Belgian commissios of in- quiry on the violation of the rights of nations and of the laws and customs of war: “From the first moment when the German army came in touch with the Belgian forces before Liege, it sought to protect itself by thrusting before it groups of civilians. A’German battery which was firing at the Carmelite monastery of Chexremon:, sousht to protect itself from the fire of the fort of Chaudfontaine by massing around itself people arrested from the neigh- - |boring villages, including women and children. The last fort of Liege was surrounded on August 16th. Sixteen inch shells when falling on forts made a frightful crash, heard from the city, although the forts were five miles distant, and inhabitants were wondering with an jmmense pity how their brave de- fenders . could support this ordeal. After Namur surrendered on Sun- day, Aug. 24th T camse back to Liege with the, intention of putting myselt again at the disposal of the Belgian government.

Wheén bis fort was blown up the com- mander of the fort of Lonoin had his ear drums burst and, was burnt all over his body. Together with General Laman he was lying unconscious un- der rubbish when they picked up and brought to the hospital as prisoners of war. The Treacherous Germans. The commander-of thefort -of Lo- noin told. me how_treacherously the Germans got the range of his fort. Be- cause one day the Germans had fired without result, on Aug. 15 a German officer, bearer of a_white fag, came in order to induce the commander to surrender. The answer ‘was what it had to be; 4 plajn refusal, . After this officer had one, shells began to be fired accu- rately, showinz that the German gun- ners, uMable to aim at the forts they could not see, got the direction of their target from- the sacred whité flag of truce. In the first days of the war- the loss- es of our officers .were appaling, 60 per cent. It is impossible to i estimate. of . German losses, ‘as they sent back to Germany many corpses by automobile trucks. German losses; anyway, were very heavy ‘on account of the Prussiam: method of mass at- tacks against our fleld and fort artil- lery and against our infan‘rymen. German soldiers were firing’ very in- accurately, the riflé being held at the hip, while our soldiers, knowing that ammunition- was limited, took. care- ful aim. Sometimes our fsoldiers wers utterly tired of Killing. I know. that fact from a friend who was_in command of a battery of field artillery.

The first care of the Ge entering the city was to l=vy-$10,000,- 000 as a contribition of war. Ordeal for the inhabitants were only -at their very beginning. During the height between August 6th and' Tth, “under false pretense thot: somebody lud fir- ed at the Germans, machine guns were put in action in the very center 4 the city and several lots of houses ware burned. German - soldiers had - for that purpose ‘incendiary disks and made use of them generally after be- ing intoxicated, so arson 'was -very frequent. Inhabitants of burning hous- es were killed by machine guns bul- lets ;when trying to -escape, from their dwellings. They had a cholce bé- tween death from burns or from bul- lets. - A monstrous specimen -of - “arbitary cruelty in the proclamation placarded in the gommunes of Beyne-Heusay, Bois-de-Breux, Grivegnes, in the vi- cinity of Licge, September 8th, 1834, Here is an extragt: From the 7th of September I wil permit ‘the people of uforesaid com- munes to go' into their homes, ' To as- sure against ‘abuse 6f this-permission mayors of Beyne-Heusiy 4nd (Griveg- nes must make a list immediately of people who will be held as hostages in_the fort of Fleron.
