Petrograd. Sept. 1s.-sergus Sazonorf
Russian minister of foreign affairs, de-
clared today that as a result Of the war
the great markets Of Russia would be
thrown open to England and America.
He asserted that an era Of prosperity
would soon open in Russia and that this
would be an opportunity Of special bene-
fit to America.
Beyond the war he said. exists a
situation that affords an opportunity in
trade and commerce with Russia which,
to England and America, may mean more
in the decades to come than It is easy TO
realize.
Experts should be sent here now to
study and examine the wants Of our
country.
For America especially does Russia
open opportunities for an industrial out
look such as can hardly be overesti-
mated. We have an empire OF 10000 600
souls, and the t3O0,Oo0.0O0 we have been
paying yearly to Germany is but the be-
ginning of a demand that soon will make

Faces German Battery
When Trying to Escape
Alfred Wilson, Of Leeds England Tried Once to Quit Brus-
ses Only to Find Battle Going on Near By-Returned
and Later Made His Way to Safety.

ostend. Sept ia graphic story Of the
taking Of Brussels, the Belgian capital.
by the Germans, was told to-day by
Alfred Wilson. Of Leeds, England. He
said:
TO essay an escape from Brussels. to
run straight toward q German battery,
to be fred upon by a German patrol, to
find my path crossed by an armored
train-these are some OF the experiences
which befell me on Wednesday evening.
My wife and children went to Eng
land Some time ago, and as there was
no business in Brussels, l decided to fol-
low. My premises and my villa were all
locked up, and on Wednesday afternoon
1 left the capital and walked toward
which lies to the left OF VILE
vorde. I ran into a German column car
rying munitions. and at that moment q
motor car rushed along. Germans popped
up from everywhere and challenged the
driver to stop, and in the confusion I
darted into a field on my right and made
toward a belt OF trees.
Saw Flash from Trees.
ION the way l heard the 'pIip. pIip' Of
rife fire far beyond the trees. and then
to my astonishment saw the flash Of
artillery from the trees themselves. This
was ny a udHH dl
other point. and then continuous flashes.
From their concealment the artillery
was apparently being trained to the west
Of Villevorde. and ! saw an observation

was sausage-shaped and was fitted with
wireless.
Il returned toward the road. and at
hundred yards distance I was called upon
to halt by a party Of Germans. who i'm
discharged reVolvers at me.
The bullets sang about me. and in a
position I reached a cluster OF
houses. There the peasants told me that
fighting was proceeding toward Willie
vorde. and that a mass OF German SOL
diers. which I had discovered in my
in the field. were strongly
Il realized thGt II was impossible for
me to get out Of Brussels by that route,
and very cautiously made my way back
10 the town. In the course Of doing so,
had to cross the railway and I saw a
heavily armored train rumble by. There
were two or three steel-plated coaches in
front Of the engine and two behind, and

''on the following day made a second
attempt to escape from Brussels. but
this time by a different road. I was ac-
companied by two friends, and by great
good luck We fell In with q potato mer-
chant who offered US seats in the two
carts in which he had just delivered nvs
tons OF potatoes to the capital. He took
US as far as Aascho. and on the road We
picked up a couple Of soldiers, who told
US that they had escaped from Namur.
They were in an exhausted condition. OF
their military equipment all that they re-
tanned were the trousers. They wore
civilian caps and coats, much the worse
for wear. which they had contrived to
borrow. and they had no shirts.
They declared that the forts at SamUr
had been betrayed to the enemy, and. al
though We doubted their statements,
when we reached Aasche and entered
a tram. there We met another soldier who
also had come from Namur, and he re-
peated the same story.
From Alost II was an easy PROPOSE

holding the British marines in the streets

A passage in the British Official His
tory OF the Russo-Japanese war relates
that a Russian general officer openly
scofred at the idea Of the necessity OF
soldiers having to shoot straight.
Did Not Learn Roer Lesson.
This seems incredible. but it only goes
to show that the Russians did not in
the least learn the lessons OF the Boer
war. 1t took the hard experience Of de-
feat in the East to teach them.
Another lesson they learned was pre-
paredness-that the army which is ready
wins.
In 1904 Russia's army was untitled for
the field under modern conditions. Gen.
Kuropatkins plan Of campaign had
nothing decisive about it beyond his
fixed determination to wait.
To come to the Russian soldier. he
was wholly unframed in the use Of the
modern rife. From general to private

was The use of cold steel.
The Russian army was armed with

armies were. but for all the use the SOL
