Son Of Wealthy Land
Owner to Contest Will
United Press.

lone, Colo, Aug. 26.---When W. A.
Davis, one of the wealthiest land own
ers in Weld county made his will two
years ago he left only $40 to his eid-
est son, John Davis, of Denver. Last
month Davis was drown in foot Of
water. The will was probated in the
county court of Greeley.
At the time Of his death w. A. Da-
Wis owned 1900 acres of land in this
vicinity and was estimated to be
worth 100000. John Davis, the son,
will contest the will. He has filed
formal objection at Greeley and
the case will come up in September.
Several years ago all the sons were
working for their father and john.
who was an admirer of horseflesh,
played the race game with winning
string. After that neighbors said the
father and son drifted apart and John
went to Denver to live.
w. A. Davis settled here years ago,
poor man. He acquired little by
little until he owned most Of the
farms in the vicinity.

ANTWERP, Aug. 25 Delayed in
Transmission. THE city is terrorized
as a result of Zeppelin's visit An
airship was captured only because the
crew lost it's direction, and thought it
was making safe descent.
Guns are mounted on roofs,
churches and spires and the gunners
are waiting TO repel another attack.
Aviators in outlying forts have been
ordered to destroy the dirigibles at
all hazards.
The general staff and the royal
family left the palace and their loca-
tion is secret. II is considered certain
that someone here co-operated with
Zeppelin, signaling where to drop the
bombs.
1t is believed new explosive is
being used, as the victims are terribly
mangled. Belgium will formally pro-
test against such killing of non-com-
batants.

U. S. Looking After
Americans in Europe
(By Burton X. Standish.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 26.-
In these uncertain war days Uncle
Sam is about the only great world
figure who is keeping his head. I'm
Gle Sam today is standing not only
for peace at home but he is doing
everything he can to keep the 100000
Americans scattered throughout the
European war zone content and safe.
AS soon as he saw the first war
cloud coming across Europe he es-
tablished in the state department a
bureau of information and immediate
ly notified his 235 diplomatic and
consular representatives in the war
ring countries to "look out for Ameri-
cans"
In Washington the headquarters
were established. A large room on
the first floor of the department used
by the consul bureau was designated
the information office. A half dozen
officials of the consular service were
designated to act as clerks and the
latch string was hung out, the coun-
try was notified and since then the
bureau has been "swamped."
First it undertook to inform rel
atives or friends in the United States
of the whereabouts and condition of
their relatives or friends travelling
in Europe. If business man in
Springfield had relatives in Germany
he asked the state department to ca
BILE the American consul at the sta
tion nearest the last stopping place
of the tourist. This the state depart
ment did and when the reply came the
business man was notified immediate
ly.
Few hours passed, however, until
the bureau discovered it would have
to come to the financial relief of Am
ericans. kilograms poured into this
country that travellers checks of the
tourists and their letters of credit
would not be cashed. 1t became nee
essary for friends and relatives in
this country to come to their assist
ance and semi-official banking bust
ness was started.
The first day $4,000 was received
and forwarded to European points
The second day checks ranging from
800 to $4,000 and 100000 were de-
posted to be forwarded abroad.
In this way the information bu-
reau not only looked after the inquir-
les from persons here in the United
States but it sought to put ready
money in the hands of stranded tour
lists.
To illustrate just how this is done
let me cite an instance of New
Yorker who came to Washington to
find out about daughter somewhere
in France" He gave her itinerary
and stated just where she had ex-
