AS German Siege Guns Worked Terrible ~ Havoc -- [afantry Too Late | Fought In a Fog. London, Aug. 29.--The Times corre- spondent at Ustend has obtained the following details of the siege of Na- mur from two Belgian soldiers: They informed me that the Germans atiack- ed the town during a dense fog. For two 'days the bombardment never censed. The open town was reduced to ruin, and the carnage among the ichabitants was appalling. The forts of Cognelee and Marchovelette were silenced by the héavy German siege guns of eleven-inch ealibre, The 145th French Regiment of the line coming from Givet proudly marched into the town to the strains of "The Marseillaise," this during a murderous hail of projectiles. Alas! Ihey had arrived too late, for Namur barl become an inferno, and at mid- day the order was given to retreat. \s an instance of the scientific man- nex in which the Germans conduct their warlike operatiohs, the first shells fired into Namur were directed against the . wireless installation at the top of the hill overlooking the an- cient citadel. Call Issued for Londoners. London, Aug. 29.--Lord Esher, pres- ident of the London Territorial Asso- ciation, has called for 30,000.

A London paper published a re- quest from a lonely "Tommy" for the address of someone with whom he might correspond while at the front. The next day the paper re- ceived 552 letters from the would- 52 | be correspondents, the list ineluding clergymen, old ladies and young girls.
