DREADFUL CARNAGE AT LIEGE

' GERMANS MAKCH INTO THE DEATH ZONE ' . BRITISH TROOPS ARRIVE JUNCTION-WITH FRENCH AND ■ - BELGIANS WAR FETER IN JAPAN .• / , SPIES. IN ENGLAND '. Vivid descriptions V. oy&wit nesses are beginning to filter through tho censor, and there is a grim and significant unanimity in thoir comments on the ghastly results of launching massed brigades of German machine-made troops into the fire-swopt zone of death under the guns of Liego. The French cavalry screen which is operating in front of tho main advance is rapidly clearing tho country south of tho , Meuse, wjiilo in Belgium tho British and French troops are reported to have junctioned with the Belgians, who now bar. fciip German linq of advance at Liego, Austria, now definjt'jiy at war with Franco, is' hurrying her elite corps to tho support of the Germans in Aisacej and denuding her Italian frontier of troops. Tho North gives no sign. savo that Germany's maritimo ports, and sea traffic to and fro, aro hemmed in by a floating wall of steel. In tho Adriatic the Austrian fleet is displaying much ostentatious but apparently ineffective activity, while thofugitivo German warships—the Goohenand the Breslau—are reported to have gone, East towards tho Dardanelles. In England .tho call to arms has evoked a splendid response. Gorman spies both in England and Franco aro busy in attempts to disorganise tho interior communications of theso countries, but tho harrying vigilance of the police and the miljtary authorities lias $o fur frustrated their efforts." From tho Far East come reports of .a popular outburst ,in Japan, where tho people are clamouring for a share w, tliß conflict of tho nations. '
