Germans who succeeded in entering the circlé of forts at Floren. ten miles from Liege, di- rected their fire on Dressour, and wrecked many houses. During the night, amid cries of “Viva la. Belgique!” the civil guard despatched patrols in all di- rections with bugles to announce that the city Would not surrender and the army would continue its brave resistance. Among the Ger- mans captured in the attack on Liege was Lieut. Baron von Forst- ner. the young officer whose hau hty treatment of the French inhaiitants of Zabern, Alsace, brought on the disturbances there last year which were aired in the Reichstag and resulted in Von Forstner being sentenced to six weeks’ imprisonment in a. fortress.
