(Special Cable Despatch to The Evening World.) Copyright, 1914, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York World.) | LONDON, Aug. 6.—J. M. N. Jeffries of the Dally Mail in a Brussela despatch timed 6 o'clock P. M. Wednesday, wires: | “The fight at Mill Bridge at Vise was desperate. The German infantry ere in deep masses, flanked by batteries of field guns and quick firing. The Twelfth Belgian line regiment took up their position behind the walls ‘of the houses along the Meuse. “The fusilade lasted a half hour. Tho Germans then brought up their @uns in front of the Luxhe and Hallembaye while the German eappers con- structed a bridge of boats. The men at Fort Barchon let them build the bridge, but once it was finished they destroyed the pontoons with shells. “During the fight at Vise a Bel¥tan sergeant, stepping out from the ranks, knelt down amid a hail of bullets to take aim at a group of German staff officers, bringing down three. The German losses were eighty killed, mile the Belgians lost twelve in thta engagement. Regiments coming from Berlin appear tired out. The othere are good. “The Belgian Twelfth Line Regiment on entering Liege had a frenzied ovation. To fill up the tunnel at Nasproue the Belgians derailed a loco- motive and then sent two others crashing into it. The destruction by Belgian engineers of the village of Boncelles, near Liege, stirred every one with emotion. The soldiers put tar on all the wood work and set fire to the Presbyterian Church, two large villas and hundreds of dwell- ‘ings. The distressed inhabitants fied to Liege. < “The officer in commard near Chaudfontaine told me of great suc- cess of Belgian reconnaisshnces, including those made by airmen. “We are reliably informed,’ he said, ‘that boy scouts have been seen. carrying messages in the firing line. News of declaration of war by England has evoked indescribable emotion in Brussels.’” BELGIAN STRATEGY WINS. BRUSSELS, Aug. 6, via London, Aug. 6.—Graphic stories of the great struggle between the Belgian troops and the German soldiery yesterday in the vicinity of Liege tell of terrific slaughter among the German forces. At about noon yesterday the German infantry attempted to carry by aseault Fort Barchon, to the northeast of Liege. The attacking infantry crept up under the cover of a heavy artillery Gre, but the Belgian defenders reserved their fire until the Germans had ome to close quarters, when, at a given signal, the Belgians opened with & perfect hail of bullets from rifles and machine guns which wreaked havoc among the Germans. The attackers soon lay in heaps of dead and ‘wounded around the fort. At the same time Fort Chaudfontaine, to the southeast of Liege, kept @ hot fire on another body of Germans who had seized a neighboring castle, The Belgian artillery reduced the building to a mi of smoking ruins. The Germans finally retired all along the line. One newspaper says the German los: amounted to between 4,000 and 5,000 men, while they abandoned seventeen machine guns.
