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.
