lONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. MSTITION IT LIEGE, NAMUR After Battle There Was a Terrible Sight--- Wounded and Dead Lay Everywhere; As Told by Eye Witness. Berlin.—The following descriptions of the devastation at Liege and Na mur are translated from accounts in the Tageblatt. "We reached Liege on the evening of a stormy day. We traveled through streets where the smoke of burned houses was still curling upward, streets that showed no signs of life. Patrols marched through the city. The beautiful shops across from the uni versity were a field of ruins. I was told that two nights before, on Au gust 21st, shots came from these shops as if by prearrangement. The in habitans of the houses were dragged out, the women were torn from the men, and whoever had a weapon in his hands was shot. In a few min utes the streets was sown with corpses. The houses were set on fire, xxx “Eye-witnesses described for me the details of the conquest of Liege. Lou cin. the strongest fort, was bombard ed by the newest Krupp guns, which were stationed in the market place, in the middle of the city. Every win dow pane in the vicinity was broken by the concussion, and pieces of roof fell from some of the houses. The fort soon surrendered. A division of Jaeger were the first men to enter the fort. The destruction was terrible, About 400 corpses lay piled inside the stone walls. The stench was un bearable. About 200 wounded were counted. The only man uninjured was the commandant. A wounded man, who evidently was about to be operated on, lay in the lazarett. He had been killed by a shell. Liege had altogether thirteen forts. Nine were taken by infantry storm, the others were reduced by artillery. The forts are being repaired for German use by the inhabitants of the city, who get six francs a day for their work. Course of Battle. “A German, who had lain in a Bel gian fort as prisoner and witnessed the whole bombardment, described the course of the battle. The bombard ment ,he said, began at midnight on August 6th. One shell after another exploded, and Liege was soon afire in many places. From every roof and window in the houses came a rain of bullets. Under this fire the Ger mans stormed through the village of Roncourt. and deployed in a wheat field. Two hundred Germans opened a rapaid fire on 2,000 Belgians, of whom 800 fell. Nineteen German pris oners were confined In a cellar when the Germans' heavy artillery began firing. They could hear the shells coming through the air. and every time they exploded, gas, powder, earth and cement dust flew Into the cellar until the men were nearly suf focated. Finally an explosion blew in the iron door of the cellar and shortly thereafter the Belgians sur rendered, freeing the prisoners, x x x “On the following morning I went to Namur. In Liege certain streets had been burned out. but in Namur whole blocks were destroyed. The Grand Palace, with its beautiful Ra thaus. had been blotted out of exist ence. In its place were heaps of ruins, from which smoke was still coming. The destructive effect of grenades could he noted on many houses. The city was without bread. German pa trols were guarding the bakeries, which were being stormed by the people. By 4 o'clock in the afternoon even the largest hotels had no pro visions of any kind left. Our troops were fed from the vast quantities of food stored in the forts. In the city there was a shortage of everything, especially potatoes and salt. “In the afternoon we went on to Gembloux. The famine was still worse there. The soldiers declared that they had been unable to get bread or beer from the people for fourteen days. STANDING OF CLUBS National League. Won. Lost. Pet.

The brilliant soldierly record of King Albert of the Belgians in this war has astonished the world as much as has the bravery of the Belgians, who defended Liege so valorously against the Germans. A month ago neither the Belgian army nor the king had any particular reputation as fighters The world knew little of King Albert. His father, King Leo pold was almost always in the lime light for one cause or another, but Al bert has lived rather quietly. Belgium has belonged to the Bel gians only since 1830 when the peo ple carried out a successful revolu tion against Holland, by whom they had been ruled. When the country was invaded by Napoleon I on one side, ana by Eng land and Germany on the other for the battle of Waterloo in 1815, the people did not defend their country. There was no cry of neutrality being violated. The difference Is now lhat the Belgians are fighting for their own. No Bonds. King Albert does not belong to them by any bond of blood. He is the grandson of the first king of the Bel gians. a German jjrlnce of Saxe-Co burg-Gothe, who was Invited to rule as I. His sovereignty lasted for thirty-four years and that of his son. Leopold 11. lasted for forty-four years. King Albert ascended the throne in 1909. The King and Queen Elizabeth have had to sacrifice their nearest and dearest family ties to remain loyal to Belgium during this war. Both are as German as centuries of German blood can make them. The Queen, who is the daughter of Duke Carl Theodore of Bavaria, one of the most celebrated eye specialists of his gen eration, Is the name-sake and god daughter of her aunt, the murdered Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who was assassinated at Geneva. She has, up to now maintained the most cordial relations with her aged uncle. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria- Hungary. Many Ties in Germany. King Albert, on bis side, has many ties In Germany. His mother was Princess Marie of Hohenzollem, of the family of the Kaiser. His sister Is the wife of Prince Charles of Hohen zollem ,a kinsman of the Kaiser, who lives In Berlin and Is helping the Ger mans to plan the control of Belgium. King Albert's most intimate friends have been the German Crown Prince and the other sons fit the KaJser. The King has been with his soldiers In the field, since he gave his defiant reply to the Kaiser’s damand to give German troops free passage through his country. The _royal palace at I-aek-n, where King Leopold spent a large fortune on the gardens alone, has been turned over to the Red Cross In which the Queen herself has been enrolled. She is a regular graduate nurse and holds a doctor's certificate also. King Albert Is thirty-nine years old and Queen Elizabeth a year younger. Many Americans have not I met the King He spent several months in this country sixteen years ago. Dinner in Washington. He had dinner in Washington with President McKinley, was entertained lat Newport by Mrs. Potter Balmer I and spent considerable time In New York. In Fit. Louis he spent three days Incognito at a hotel as “John Banks, New York.” He has a private fortune of some twenty odd millions besides a suffi ciently liberal grant made by the Bel gian government. He and Queen Elizabeth did not have any formal coronation such as other sovereigns have, following the example of Leopold 11. who gave to the people the large sum, many thou sands of dollars, for which they had been taxed, to pay for the coronation. The new king and queen, however had a state entry into Brussels the day before Christmas five years ago, when the cannon boomed a salute and the church bells rang out as hundreds of thousands of their subjects thronged the streets to receive their new rulers. They had three children, Prince l<eo pold, Prince Charles and little I rin cess Marie. The King and Queen have been very democratic, easily accessible to all classes of society and they have be come so popular that the Socialists who used to demand a Republic for Belgium are, now seldom heard from.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. THE WAYS OF THRIFT Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift. FARMERS’ MEAT PACKING PLANT Meat prices are being cut by the farmers within a radius of easy ship ping distances of Chicago’s Packing town, at LaCrosae, Wis., where there lias been started a co-operative pack ing plant—said to be the first in Amerca. Similar enterprises may spring up during October, "Thrift Month,’’ throughout tile United States. Manager Andrew Boyd estimates that by their co-operative p an at least six of the eleven profits or charges from the time livestlck leaves the far mer until it reiaches the consumer by the usual route will be saved. The eleven charges are: 1 shipper’s profit; 2, railroad; 3, terminal railroad; 4, yardage; 5, feeding; 6, commission; 7, packer’s profit; 8. salesman; 9, railroad; 10, drayage; 11, retailers' profit. A co-operative packing plant own ed and run by the farmers In the vi cinity of LaCrosse where they can slaughter their own livestock and put It in the form of finished meat prod ucts ready for the consumer had been the dream of Ira M. .1. Chryst, a far mer and president of the American Society for Equity, for seven years. Last April an enterprise for meat paoking was Incorporated with a cap ital of $250,000. Each farmer can own only ten shares and have but one vote, for the scheme is strictly co-opera tive, not capitalistic. The Langdon-Boyd Packing Com pany of LaCrosse quickly grasped the situation and saw that it would he better to work with the farmers than against them, so their plant changed hands and Its manager undertook to run the farmers’ business as one of them, with the ownership of ten shares one vote arid a salary. Every farmer is allowed to ship his 6th CHAMPIONSHIP BY CONNIE MACK Philadelphia. Now that the Phil adelphia Athletics have clinched the American l/casrue championship, offi cials of the club are preparing for the world's aeries. The pennant which was assured yesterday gives Gonnie Mack his sixth championship, a new major league record. Under his tute lage the Athletics won the league pen nant In 1902, 1906, 1910, 1911 and 191$ and In the lat ter three years they also captured the world's championship. The National Commission will hold a meeting here next. Wednesday to make final arrangements for the world's series, the first game of which probably will be played on either Oc tober 8 or 9.

Shipping from with in fifty miles of LaCrosse there is a difference In shipping expense of about S6O a car between sending stock to Chicago under the usual conditions and to the farmers' plant, in favor of the co-operative company. Another advantage to the non-stockholders Is that there sre assured of the full market value for their products. If private shippers outbid the far merri company the advantage Is to the seller, as he Is constantly protect ed as regards prices, whether a stock holder or not. The livestock of the thousand stockholders will, of course, receive first consideration, and If there Is more business than the com pany can handle that of the non-co operators will be refused. This packing plant which began business only last April Is handling from SB,OOO to SII,OOO worth of stock a week. At present about 300 hogs, 60 to 76 cattle, 100 calves and 100 sheep are shipped to the plant each week. While there ts no retailing at present It Is expected when the new company has more products to dis pose of there will he such a depart ment for the benefit of the co-opera tors. This will be a saving to them of from two to ten cents a pound, be sides acting as a leverage to get the stores of the various towns to handle products from the co-operative com pany. May not similar plants he started for the benefit of both pro ducer and consumer during Thrift month—October? Co-operative movements of this kind have been very successful abroad, and It Is expected that this Is the be ginning of a new era for the Ameri can stock breeder. CATHOLICS AND WORLD PEACE Third Annual Convention of American Federation Catholic Societies Told of Plans for Concerted Action. Baltimore,—President. Charles 1. Denechaud told the third annual con vention of the American Federation of Catholic Hocletles today that the Catholic World looked to the asaem'- hlage for leadership and counsel. ’The Catholics of the United Htates should take the Initiative for the crea tion and fostering of concerted action for world peace,” he said. "Public sentiment should be quickened and congress be Importuned to cause this nation to make the first over tures for a serious, sincere and last ing agreement among the peoples of the world for International peace." Referring to reports of cruelties perpetrated by some Mexican author ities upon defenseless priests and nuns, President Denechaud said, “the federation must raise Its Indignant protest at this Inhuman persecution and respectfully request the govern ment to secure full explanation and reparation for Indignities and atroci ties committed and for property de spoiled.” Among those attending the conven tion are Bishops B. .1 Kelley, of Ha vannah, Ga., and D. J. O’Connell, of Richmond, Ya. By “Bud” Fisher War and Trade It should be the business of the neu tral nations while the warring nationa are trying to destroy one another, to do their best to make good ns far as possible default arising from the par arlyzatlon of trade and Industry. It la no light task. At the beginning of the war there waa no other people In the world ptiahlng quite so energetic ally for a commanding position In In ternational trade as the Germans. The export trade of lhat country In 1906 aggregated $1,558,500,000. In 1913, eight years afterward. It totaled $2,- 478,000,000. This is a wonderful ad vance. The British command of the sea has suddenly brought on a prac tical cessation of German expog trade. The hulk of German exports were of manufactured products valued In 1913 at $1,600,000,000, a very con siderable part of which was sent to the United States. No other people have been In ad vance of the Germatis In making science the handmaid of Industry. This may find Illustration In the fol lowing recapitulation of the character of German manufactured exports for 1913, which Is well worth the study of American makers: Motor cars $ 21,100,000 Rubber goods 82,000,000 Chemicals, dyes, etc .. .. 72,500,000 Clocks .. 5,000,000 Brass goods 21,000,000 Cotton goods 105,000,000 Cycles . 8,600,000 Electrical goods 72,500,000 Glass 86,600,000 Iron and steal 836,000,000 leather 60,000,000 Machinery 170,000,000 Pianos 11,500,000 Leather goods 28,500,000 Earthenware 8,000,000 Hi lk 36,000,000 Toys 26,600.000 Woolens and worsteds .. . 86,000,000 There Is no dispute as In the vast In of the greater part of this vast In dustrial output. It commands Its place In the markets. This has been especially true of electrical machinery, liraasware, dyestuffs and chemicals and Iron and steel wares. In which German push and painstaking study of scientific methods, eliminating the waste In the process of construction, have won their own reward. It was a British chemist, for example, who dis covered aniline, and a British dyer who first put It to use. But It re mained for German chemists to bring out of crudity the wonderful series of dyestuffs of which German traders have a present world monopoly. We have at hand In the United Htates all the raw material for making these dyes Can we go on and supply our selves?
