Des Moines, Ia, Oct. NV. C. Ro-
binson of Grinnell Iowa, flying in a
monoplane, left here at 1886 o'clock
today for Chicago, in an attempt to es-
establish new American record for

the $50 miles without stop. and said
he would land in Grant Park, Chicago,

fis railroad. The flight, which is under
the auspices of Des Moines and Chica-
go Newspapers, has the official sane
ton of the Aero Club of America. The

Cot What He Wanted.

Two venerable theologians in an up
state town were very friendly, despite
their differences In belief. One, who
was about seventy, was an Episcopa-
lian, while the other, who was slight
ly younger. was Presbyterian.
The predecessor of the Episcopalian
in that town had always liked to be
addressed as Father NJ Having
got used to this title in conversa-
ton with the predecessor the Presby-
terian minister used it several times
in speaking to the new rector, who did
not want to be addressed that way.
Several times he asked the Presbyte-
rian to omit the title in his direct
conversation, but without result. One
day an explosion came
"See here, Doctor B.. said the ven
erable but irate rector, for some time
l have been asking you to stop calling
me father! If YOU do Il again, shall
call you mother and II you do it again
after that l shall call you grand
mother +"
The threat had the desired effect.

Yesterday town Of 10000 inhabit-

Antwerp Not Damaged

German headquarters in Berlin has
expressed the belief that numbers of
Belgian soldiers fleeing before the
Germans have cast off their uniforms
and put on civilian clothes, preferring
to be captured in this attire. That
the men composing the garrison at
Antwerp fled in great hurry is
proved by the quantities Of cast-off
uniforms, especially of the British
Royal Naval division, found by the
German soldiers.
Antwerp suffered little by the bat
tie. The people are now quiet and
glad that the days of terror are over.
A mob had already begun plundering
the city before the German arrived

LIVE FOREVER IN MEMORY
Loved Dead Who Have Gone Before
May still Speak to Us With
Compelling Voices.

Who has not known old men and
women, bent by the storms of life,
bearing on their foreheads the scars
Of bereavement? They have lowered
into the tomb with the sons and daugh-
ters they loved the most precious
thing they had on earth. But there
was so much kindness in their eyes
and so much peace in their faces, that
we are won, we know not how. And
before the peace which their loved
dead have shed about their heads, we
bow as low as the hills bow before
Mont Blanc. For you, young men and
women, who perhaps have lost father
or mother, no precept, no book, no
example, however great 1t may be,
can do as much as their momory at
the bottom of your heart, if you keep
it sacred. They are here no longer to
follow you, to console you, to point
out the way for you nor to rebuke you
by raising their voices against your
errors; but in the silence their mem
ory speaks to your hearts, and If you
are responsive it will be seen that this
compelling voice of absent loved ones
is able to accomplish more with you
than ever their direct advice and their
material presence was able to effect.

VIOLATED NEUTRALITY
OF AMERICAN VESSEL
FRENCH CRUISERS ACTION PRO.
TESTED AGAINST BY SEN
AToR THOMAS

Washington. Oct 17.-Protest
against forcible search of the Amer
lean merchant ship Metaphan by the
French cruiser Conde in Mexican
waters was filed in the senate today
by Senator Thomas. A letter was
submitted by the senator from R. w.
Patterson, a passenger on the Meta
phan, who said officers Of the Conde
forced five Germans on the vessel to
sign parole agreements binding them
not to fight against the allies in the
European war.
Senator Thomas declared that the
Outrage" as reported by Mn Patter-
son, called for prompt investigation
by the state department. The letter
set forth that the Conde stopped the
Metaphan between Cartagena ana
Puerto Colombia on Sunday. OCTOBER
4, at 1890 O'Clock IN the morning.
Two armed officers and two soldiers
from the Conde boarded the Meta
phan, which recently had been trans
ferred from British to American reg
istry.
The captain of the Metaphan, the
letter said, assembled all of the pas
sengerss in the dining saloon Of the
Metaphan, while the naval officers ex-
amined the ships papers. Later five
young Germans who we're bound for
Colombia, and who. according to Mr.
Patterson, were ''on board neutral
vessel lying between neutral ports, "
were forced to sign a parole in order
to procure their liberty
This was an outrage committed
on American soil, under the Ameri-
can flag" said Mr.. Patterson, "the
passengers OF an American vessel be
/ ing all practically imprisoned by
French officers and men"
Mr. Patterson said that the captain
and practically all Of the officers Of
the MetaDhan were British subjects

hour he was the heaven-sent man to
whom we call his people
In single moment he revealed
what Belgium was to the world. He
had the admirable fortune TO act de-
cisiyely in the most tragic hour when
the best balanced consciences lost
their assurance. Had he not been
there things would certainly have gone
differently and history would have
lost one of its beautiful and noble
pages. Assuredly Belgium would
have been loyal to her word and a
GOV ernment which hesitated would
have been pitilessly swept away by
The indignation Of the people. who
have never been treacherous but there
would inevitably have been some va
cillation and confusion in the general
upheaval
The kings heroic line Of action is
straight clear, and magnificent, like
that Of ThermopyIae indefinitely ex-
tended; but what he has suffered and
suffers every day can only be told by
chose who have had the happiness to
approach this hero-the most sensi-
tive and mildest of men, discreet, ST.
lent of delicious timidity, who loves
his people no less than father loves
his children, than a son loves the
mother who adores him.
