Another newspaper reported as follows: "The King of England sent a congratulatory dispatch to the King of Belgium upon his victory at Liege; seven German regiments were slain." At Paris itself a note of the French War Ministry--published on the evening of Aug. 7, Liege having fallen in the early morning of that day--mentions the resistance of Liege and says that the forts are still holding out; that the Germans who had entered the city on Thursday by passing between the forts had evacuated it on Friday; and that the Belgian division that went to the assistance of the city had therefore not even made an attack. The official note concludes from all this that the resistance of the Belgians was seriously disturbing the plan of the Germans, who were building hopes upon a rapid success. And four full days after the capture of Liege the French Minister at Berne reported officially: "Liege has not yet been taken; the German troops were repulsed." At Copenhagen the following dispatches were published: "The English and French troops had effected a junction with the Belgian Army and had entered Liege and made many German prisoners, among them a nephew of the German Kaiser." Similarly at Stockholm: "The Germans had suffered a severe repulse." Again a dispatch from Paris to Rome: "The Germans had been driven back behind the Moselle and were begging for an armistice; the French had passed Namur and were pressing forward in forced marches, while 500,000 English were falling upon the German flank." Still another official report from Paris: "Liege is becoming the grave of the 150,000 Germans who are breaking their heads against its walls; the Belgians had taken 3,000 prisoners, who were in a terrible condition; but for their good fortune of falling into captivity they would have starved to death." In contrast to all this let us take the unvarnished truth as in the reported simple words of the German Quartermaster General:
