Don't BE- dOWuhearted at a defeat
Don't be unnerved by personal or
family bercayements.
Don't be frightened because the
casualty list Is 50 long and sometimes
SO distressing.
Don't think that you know how to
wage the campaign and that the War
Office does not.
Done write to the newspapers tell
ms the generals and admirals what
they ought TO do, but if you have an
opinion that you could do il much
Ictter, tell II to as few people as pos
able
Don't get nervous because the prog

De slow in these stages.

the full purpose for which We are
fighting
And when the war is over, don't
throw away the lessons Of the war.
Englands need of more fighting men

patch from correspondent in Bel

Officers of the garrison who escaped
from Antwerp say that on Thursday
morning it was realized that serious
damage had been done e. tsc fortified
enceinte, and that if a., bombardment
was continued the city itself must
eventually be destroyed. 4 council Of
war was held and the whole question
considered. Many of the military were
for continuing the resistance, for II
was pointed out that large section
Of the defences was still intact and
capable of a prolonged fight, but there
was the possibility of Il severe bonn
bardment Of the city itself and the
laying in ruins of its architectural
beauties.
The municipal authorities pleaded the
cause of the menaced city, and gues-
toned if any good would be obtained
by IA prolonged struggle. Their en-
treaties carried weight. and it was de-
termined to leave the city to the enemy.

carried out with remarkable prompt

The property is located about 500 feet
from the Washington Baltimore boule-
ward The price paid for the property is
understood to have been $3.50. which
leaves SIG. 800 for the erection and equip
ment of the building. The committee con
