CITY OF LIEOE HAS FALLEN
(Continued from Page 1)
NEW YORK. Aug. 10.—The Irish of New York de
clared vesterdav in lavor ol Germany in the gieat wai.
At the annual field day of the Irish Volunteers resolutions
were passed sympathizing with Germany and expressing
the wish that she will come out victorious. Over in Ire
land opinion is said to he divided. I he extremists among
the Irish always declared that England’s dilliciilty is Ire
land’s opportunity and they declare that this opportunity
has now come and that Ireland should rise and light with
the Germans. The majority of the Irish, however, are
said to be with England because of the friendship recently
shown them by the British people. Redmond and the
other leaders in parliament are favorable to Britain, it is
said, hut it is not thought at all unlikely that German*
may try to land a force in Ireland as Napoleon did and de
pend on the aid of the Nationalist volunteers. Home Rule
has. however, probably made the Irish loyal to the British
crown, at least in Ireland.
REPORT GREAT LINER CAPTURED
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Two reports have arrived
here that the British cruiser Essex has captured the Kron
prinz Wilhelm, the great German transatlantic liner, and
that she has been taken to Bermuda as a prize of war. Al
though this story has not been officially confirmed it is re
garded as more than likely true. The Essex is the war
ship which has been credited with a French warship with
sinking the two German cruisers that chased the liner
Lusitania.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.—United States consuls all
over Europe have sent in reports to Secretary Garrison
regarding the position of American tourists in Europe
and from these reports it is evident that there are forty
thousand Americans abroad hut that they are in no dan
ger. Money is still being sent to aid them and other U. S.
cruisers will he dispatched to bring them home.
GERMANS TOOK FORTS
LONDON, Aug. 10.—Despite the denials of the Bel
gians it is believed here that the Germans took some of the
forts around Liege and that a regular siege of the forts
not taken will now he opened by the invaders. Each fort
will have to resist singly so that several battles will he
going on at the same time.
The German army around Liege is reported to be suf
fering severely from hunger as it expected to take the city

in a very short time and was not prepared for so long and
strenuous a siege as they believed that they could make
the city their base of supplies while they were advancing
across Belgian territory. The German reinforcements
are now pouring into the city so that a tremendous army
will soon he ready to continue the warfare. Most ot the
Belgian garrison succeeded in escaping and (led to Namur
where the next stand will be made by the allied forces
against the Germans.
The garrison that will oppose the (Hermans at this city
will be composed in great part of French troops and as the
fortifications are modern and strong the siege is expected
to be a bloody one. So huge would be the task of taking
the city that there is a hope that the Germans will relin
quish altogether the idea of attempting to invade France
through this country and go to concentrate on the (Her
man-French border.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 10.—It is reported that another Bel
gian army is marching to attack the (Hermans at Liege
with the intention of re-taking the city but this report has
not been confirmed by the war officials. Citizens all over
Belgium are now joining the forces and if sufficient tiiw
could only be secured a quarter of a million men could be
easily raised. The attack by the Germans was so unex
pected that the country, it is now admitted, was caught
napping but there is a hope that a great force can yet be
raised and equipped. There is also a hope that the British
may yet land to join the Belgian and French defenders.
TO All) \MERICANS
LONDON, Aug. 10.—Two million dollars have been
raised by the Prince of \V’ales for the relief ol six thou
sand Americans who are stranded in this city. These peo
ple will be shipped in six steamers from Liverpool while
some of the Americans on the continent will be shipped
from Antwerp.
A demand has been made by the government that
American newspapers assist the censors in preventing the
suppression of real news and in suppressing lalse reports
of engagements. Some w ld stories have been printed in
the papers of the United States and these reports are tele
graphd here with most regrettable results.
Trawlers are now being used in the search for mines
all around the coast and i re doing effective work. Ger
man mine layers are reported to be very busy and are con
stantly making daring rai Is in British waters and plant
ing mines for the destruction of British shipping.
A quarter of a million men will be under arms in these
islands within the next few days and it is now seen that
a great force will have to he kept here constantly to guard
against invasion. Of all the surmises which are current
here the one that seems to be most popular is that Ger
many will attempt to invade Great Britain if and after she
reaches Paris and forces the French to terms. It is also
hoped, however, that the British government will be able
to land a very large force in France to aid in the defense
of that country before the Germans can proceed very far
on the way to Paris. The news of a French victory in Al
sace would be almost as welcome here now as the news of
a British victory. The islands are in the meantime seeth
ing with enthusiasm.
LONDON, Aug. 8.—The banks here are again accept
ing American checks and letters of credit and the tone
seems to have improved all around in financial circles. The
excitement and signs of panic which accompanied the
commencement of the war have abated wonderfully. All
that is now needed to raise England to the pinnacle of joy
is the news of a great naval victory.
