CITY OF LIEGE

(Continued from page 1.)
give fuller particulars of the detached
forts. Of the twelve forts at Liege,
six are on the right bank of the
Muese and six on the left. The in
terval between each of them averag
es two and a half miles, and the to
tal of the circumference is thirty-one
miles. The six forts on the right
bank of the Muese are in their or
der from north to south (forming an
eastern curve) Barchon, Evegnee,
Fleron, Chaudfontaine Embourg and
Boncelles. Fleron and Chaudfontaine
command the main railway line from
Germany. The six forts on the left
bank, taking the western curve, are
Pontisse, Liers, Lantln, Loncin, Hol
.logne and Flemalle. The whole con
stitutes a position which, if held by
a sufficient garrison, would be very
difficult to capture. The Muese,
.which is unbridged at this point, con
stitutes an element of weakness for
both Pontisse and Barchon.
The nine forts around Namur are
St. Heribert, Malonne, Suarlee, Emi
-nce, Cognelee, Gelbressee, Maizeret,
Andoy and Dave. They are placed
at an interval of t\vo and a half
miles, and the perimeter in this case
is twenty-one miles. The twenty-one
forts together cost $20,000,000. •
While the work to be done at Na
mur and Liege was brought to com
pletion, that at Antwerp, the assumed
place of final stand for Belgian lib
erty was left half finished. But in
1907, in consequence of the serious
international outlook, the completion
of the fortification of Antwerp was
taken in hand and has now been
brought to completion.
By thus reducing the number of
places to be defended the Belgian
army has been brought well within
the capacity for its numerical
strength. It is even estimated that
with 180,000 effective troops Belgium
will be able to place an army of
100,000 m'en In the field to co-oper
ate with the armies of her friends.
