Sept 24.—A party of Bel gian officers who were among those who escaped from Liege, hare just reached here. One of them told this story of their thrilling experiences: “We occupied ground between the forts Shaudfontaine and Embourg. j there were 600 men belonging to the 1 1st batalion.of the 34th line. The or- / der given in the night of Thursday i and Friday to evacuate the positions between the forts never reached us. We therefore remained isolated amidst the German troops, who were bombarding the forts. They knew where we were, but they dared not to attack us because the two forts on our sides were very near to each oth er. Our position became daily worse. While columns of Germans defiled on every side. However, they were sat isfied now and then to send out scouts to find out that we were still there. Many of them were killed or made prisoners and we managed to take much booty. “During eight days and nights we did not sleep. Sometimes one of our men fell down with gun in hand in a trench to sleep. Sometimes we re mained more than 30 hours in a trench watching and listening. Occasional ly kind peasants brought us some thing to eat and a glass of beer. Hap pily we had some cattle left to feed our men and we baked bread, for which we used beer Instead of yeast. who might have taken us tor enemies. “We left, however, on Thursday last week early in the morning, and no sooner had we started^ than the Germans threw themselves upon us. One company was taken prisoners. We were left with about 400 men, but were joined by a battalion of another regiment equally strong. We march ed to the valley of the Ourthe, con tinually harrassed by the Germans. We reached the Ourthe at Fllff, but found the bridges destroyed. We suc ceeded, however, in reaching the other side of the river, and not knowing what positions the enemy occupied, we went in the direction of Boncelles. There we fell in with the Germans, who were making preparations bombard that fort. We drove them away and continued our march to the railway bridge of Val St. Lambert 'As we had to remain under protec tion of the forts, we informed the forts of Flamelle who we were. We then passed along and took similar steps in the neighborhood of the forts of Hollogne and Loncln. “In the afternoon the .Germans be gan to bombard Fort Loncin. Our position was extremely critical, but we decided to make a desperate at tempt to escape, and at night we car ried out our scheme.

Under Lieut. Blakeslee’s care the members of the party were assembled in Berlin from various parts of Gormany with the assistance of the American consuls. Their pro-German feeling is account ed for by the fact that while intern ed in the German empire they heard only one side of the war question. Art and music students and govern esses predominated. The party left Berlin in a special train and all said they had been shown every courtesy by the German officials. At some places the Germans waved flags and handkerchiefs and even cheered, great crowd of parents and relatives greeted the returning travelers their arrival here. Another party of English women and girls, of about the same number, will leave Berlin at an early daU under the care of an attache of the American embassy. W. J.
