Mad Already Distinguished Then- selves In Liege Forts. A desptstoh from London says; Wednesday’s fighting at Awrschot wan extremely hot. The appearance of two German aviators was the first intimation that the Germans', who had been repulsed on the pre- vious evening, intended to renew ithe attack. Flying low, the Ger- man aviators surveyed the position ‘and then returned to report. Soon afterwards the German infantry, “WI"I’I‘IA‘I III-v 'vVVV, supported by machine guns and l artillery, opened a. heroe attack. The Belgians were outnumbered, but put up a desperate resistance. The troops on both aides fought like demons. The battle soon became a veritable hatchery. Two Belgian regiments, which had already dis- tinguished themselves in the forts ‘of Liege, held the haulers in check for two hours. Both sides were losing heavily when the re- treat was sounded. Major Gilson, whose nose had been broken by a bullet, took charge of the Belgian rear guard, which fought so stub- bornly that only seven out of him force oi 288 mon' returned. When Gilson reached Ghent a. friend sug- gested telegraphinir to his father. IAt first he refused, remarking theta ‘lhis father would learn about his wound from the newspapers: 1l')"i'l'anfr'y he consented, saying: "I T am at Ghent. No need to worry. “Will quickly rejoin my regiment.” FORCE ;\I.MOST DECIJIATED. liWiII Be Given at Canadian Nation- 1 i al Exhibition this year. l Visitors to the Canadian Nation- al Exhibition at Toronto this year will have the opportunity of wit- nessing hydro-aerophtrte flights. ”\rrangementts have been made {whereby WHA.
