LIEGE IS A
Xew York, Aug. 13—Liege is
the Pittsburg of Belgium. l''or
miles to tho southwest of tlie city
along the banks of the River Meuse,
there are scores of blast furnaces,
puddling funaces, rolling mills and
forges, it is the site of the fam
ous Cockerill works, said to be the
largest manufactory of machinery
iu the world.
Liego proper, with a population
of ItiS.OOU, lies at the junction of
the Jleuse and tho Ourthe, in a
basin margined by hills. All around
the city is wealth of coal and iron
ore. The mines extend even under
the city aud river.
Liege's products are varied, but
iho principal o«e, aud that which
would make Liege a valuable prize
of war, is that of firearms. More
than 20,uuu persons are employed
in the manufacture of guns. Theue
is a royal cannon factory and a
small arms factory ulso in the
suburb/- of St. Leonard.
TUo city first appears in history
iu tlie sixth century, at which time
a towmgrew up around the origiu
al chapel founded there by St. JIou
ulph, bishop of Tongress. In 'bo
10th century the episcopate of Ni>t
ger, ■which had succeeded the early
line, was marked by large territorial
acquisitions, and the sea became
recognized as an independent prin
cipality of the French empire.
Liege was taken by Marlborough
in lTul! and the fortress was garri
soned by the Dutch until 171$. Tae
French revolutionary armies overran
the principality in 17&2, and from
1794 to the fall of Napoleon it
was annexed to Franco and >v:is
known as the department of the
Ourthe, The congress of Vienna
:ii lSlo decreed that Liege with tit'1
other provinces of the Southern
Xetlierlauds, should form part, of
tho new kingdom of The Nether
lands under the rule of William I
of the house of Orange. The ci'/
of Liege took an active part iu the
Belgium revolt of 1S30 and since
that date the ancient principality h i
boon Incorporated into the kingdom
of Belgium.
In tlie wars of the last century
Liege has played only a small part,
but, with prospect of a siege, today
the city finds itself well defended
with modern fortifications. Its
strength, it is said, is far greater
Mian has generally been appreciated
by military strategists. In 1SSS tlu
Belgian authorities decided to ade
quately fortify both Liege and Na
inur, the two important points on
the Meuse. At each place a num
ber of detached forts were construct
ed along a perimeter drawn a dis
tance varying from within four to
six miles of the city. At Liege, lj
of these forts were constructed, six
on the right and six on the lott
hanks of the river.
All of the forts have been kept
fairly well up-to-date. TIM heavy
guns, in their concrete casements,
are raised and lowered automatic il
ly. The names of the forts on the
right bank of the river are Barchon,
Kvegnee, Flcron, Chaudfoutaine,
Embourg and Boncelles. The aver
age distance between the forts is
four miles, but Fleron and Chaud
tontaine are separated by a little
over a mile in a direct line, as they
defeud the main line of the rail
road from Germany.
Tlie six forts on the left bank,
also commencing at the north,
around a western curve, are Pon
tisse, Liers, Lantin, Loucin, llol
logne and Fleinalle.
Twenty-five thousand men are
necfessary for an adequate defense
of these fortifications.
