It would be useless to attempt to describe the minor
vicissitudes of the campaign in North-East Belgium. It is evident, however, that the Belgians have been fighting in the open with all the dash, cleverness, and resource shown by them in and around Liege, which latter place, by the way, is now occupied by very large bodies of Germans, who, if all accounts are true, are well pleased with the shelter and the good food to be obtained in the town. Meanwhile, contrary to all expectations and all likelihood, the forts of Liege are still intact, and have kept the Belgian flag flying. That is an absolute " record " for such little places as these but, thank Heaven ! little places and little nations are showing us that the big battalions and the big nations are not everything, and that man's unconquerable mind is still not to be'reckoned by weight but by worth.
