Human nature is a strange thing.
One would naturally think that, after
all the Illustrations Dick and l have
had in the last six weeks Of the awful
consequences of philandering on the
, part of the husband and unforgive-
ness on the part of the wife, that we
would each have tried to dodge that
rock upon which so many matTimon-
ial banks are wrecked, but this noon
Dick teiephoned me that he was very
busy with some men from out of town
and would not be home to dinner and
would probably stay and spend the
evening downtown.
l made up my mind would have a
little visit with Mary at the hospital
and then go downtown and do some
shopping. 80.
was planning a very happy day
when the telephone rang and a wo-
mans voice came over the wires:

I should call and take you down to

R. H. Halsey, of the firm of R. B. Halsey & Co, shirt and neckwear manufacturers of this city, residing at 20s Lewis street and Ralph M. Sperry, secretary of the Monumental Bronze Co, for whom apprehension was felt until it was learned that they were safely in this country yesterday, have returned to Bridgeport It was also definitely 8ascertained today that Mrs. and Miss Charles Steel, of Am sonia, whose husband is secretary to Charles F.

 At the time he left Boulogne-su Mer, French seaport, feeling was running high against the Germans, and the mention of the Kaisers name or that of Germany brought misses from thespopulace in Paris and other cities. Hundreds of Americans were met on MT. Ha1sey' Journey through out Ireland, England, Germany, France and other continental coun- tries which he has visited since leav : ing these shores on June 20.
 On the Rotterdam, which left France on Sunday last, the war bull letins received by wireless were. sup pressed from the great mass of pas sengers, owing to the fact that it was feared 2,000 Russians in the steerage might become unmanageable and make demonstrations against the Ger man speaking classes, also represent ed in large numbers upon the Hol- land-American liner.
 Nr. Halsey, however, fortunate in having the close friendship of the Consul General from Holland to the United States, who was also a pas senger on the ship and who was fully informed of the war movements and, with his previous Knowledge of i'm pending events, has today been able to explain many of the reasons why the powers have been precipitated in the clash which has startled the world.

AWFUL SLAUGHTER
 FOLLOWS ATTACK ON BELGIAN FORT

Brussels, via London, Aug. 6-Graphie stories of the great struggle between the Belgian troops and the German soldiers yesterday in the vicinity of Liege tell of terrific slaughter among the German forces.
 At about noon yesterday, the Ger man infantry attempted to carry by assault Fort Barchon to the northeast of Iiege The attacking infantry crept up under the cover of a heavy artillery fire but the Belgian defend CTS reserved their fire until the Ger mans had come to close quarters when, at a given signal, the Belgians opened with a perfect hail of bullets from rifles and machine guns which wreak- ed havoc among the Germans. The attackers lay in heaps of dead and wounded around the fort.
 At the same time, 5Chaudfontaine, to the southeast of Liege. kept up a hot fire on another body of Germans who had seized a neighboring castle. The Belgian artillery reduced the building to a mass of smoking ruins.
 The Germans finally retired all along the line.
 One newspaper says the German 1ossesl amounted to between 4,ooos and 5000 men, while they abandoned 1T machine guns.
 A squadron of Belgian 1ancers, ac- cOr01nS 10 anOInert report, was cOnl- pIeteIy wiped out after it had killed 150 German Uhlans.

The Pres4- dent went to her room before going to the executive offices She greeted him with a smile, patted him on the arm ande said she had spent a good night.

MARKET CONDITIONS
GREATLY IMPROVED
Foreign Exchange Rose to Years High Mark But Relaxed
Later; u. S. Steel Report Made

New York. May 2. Stock market
conditions improved definitely this
week. The steady decline of the previ
Gus fortnight was checked and good
progress was made on an upward
swing. The change was due primarily
to the prospects for a peaceable solu-
tion of the Mexican problem. Another
element of strength was the improve
ment in London, based on the more
hopeful view of the Ulster crisis. At
home, sentiment was cheered by the
favorable indications for crops, the I'M
provement in railroad earnings for
March, as compared with preceding
months, and the prospects for speedy
decision in the freight rates case.
An offsetting influence was the con-
tinued depression in business. The ex-
tent of this recession in the steel in
dustry was measured by United States
Steels quarterly report, showing a def
cit of more than S6,000,000.
Foreign exchange rose to the years
nigh mark, but relaxed on the subsid-
Ing OF alarm over the Mexican situa-
ton.
