For Flower Holders.

No veranda is complete that is not
decorated with flowers. Flowering
vines growing about the posts Of the
veranda are attractive. Climbing roses
and other vines can be trained over
lattices that can be ordered to fit any
space. Jardinieres of heavy pot
terry in browns or blues or green's can
be kept filled with field howers-dais-
les, buttercups, wild a%sters, or golden
rod, each in its appointed time. Other
bowls and jars and vases. Of plain
glass or of heavy pottery, can be
filled with garden flowers for the yer
anda. Hanging baskets of Japanese
mahogany-stained split reeds or will
low are very good on the veranda
They can be hung from the caves OIL
from brass or wooden spikes driven
into the house wall for the purpose
Of holding them.

When the school principal asked his

Schubert was progressing, the teach.

i explain anything to him, he always
seems already to know 1t. He must
have received his knowledge straight
from heaven. Yet IN spite of such
superb gifts, there was never a hard

think that we, with our lesser gifts,
should follow his example? II he,

HOW GENERAL Won
BUELOW WAS KILLED
IBN Gable to The Tribune |

: Ostend, Sept. s. From official
sources arrived at to-day the exact
circumstances surrounding the death OF
General Won Buelow at the battle of
Hselen were learned.
At this battle a lad Of eighteen,
standing alone in mass of dead
bodies, saw, about nine HUNDRED yards
distant, an officer studying map. The
youngster crawled quietly among the
corpses Of his comrades until he was
within four hundred yards of the Of
ficer. Then he took careful elm and
fred and the officer fell dead. Rushing
up to the body, the Belgian discovered,
to his surprise, it was that of General
Won Buelow. Taking off the generals
boots and donning his uniform, he
managed to pass through the German
lines.
He discarded his German helmet and
put on his own cap, in fear that he
might be shot.
A subsequent examination Of Bue-
lows garments led to the finding Of
German notes to the value of $4,000
francs. These were discovered in a
vest pocket, and this money King Al
bert turned over to the Red Cross or
ganization. In the jacket was q secret
pocket containing memoranda full Of
interesting details about the future
intentions of the Germans.
On hearing of the lads brave deed,
King Albert, after presenting him with
the dead generals horse and pocket
books, gave him on the spot the order
of the Knight of Leopold.
II is further reported that in the
snckinp of Louvain three priceless
works Of art were ruthlessly de-
stroyed. They were Roger Wander.
weidels Descent from the Cross,
Diedrich Bouts "The Last Supper,
and "The Martyrdom of St. Erasmus" "
A wonderful screen dating from l4SS
was in the cathedral. The second
named work was in three sections and
the central piece was destroyed. The
two wings were seized, and one Of
them now is in Munich and the other
in Berlin.

The Germans levied n tribute Of
100000 on the city of Amiens, also
5000 bottles of wine and 5000

The Procureur General was seized
as hostage for the good behavior OF
the civilian inhabitants. The be-
havior of the Germans in Amiens
has been correct. There have been
no outrages.
The indignation of neutral coun-

St Mihiel France.-Fighting day
and night from deep trenches whose
wonderfully effective entanglements
OF barbed wire, steel sharp pointed
rods and sharp-pointed stakes almost
touch, the thousands of men compris-
ing the German left and the French
opposing wing seldom see each other.
Probably never before has there
been staged battle 30 theatrically
set as is the present. The line OF
battle runs wave-shaped for miles
through dense forests, over and around
high hills and across deep valleys
traversed with fast-running streams
of water.
The French stubbornly contest every
attempt of the Germans to advance.
Lines of trenches are extended a
foot at time. The thousands on
each side dig themselves in like field
moles. They cover their every move
ment. Even the guns are hidden and
their location cannot be ascertained
by the opposing forces, as their
smokeless powder leaves no trace.
Visible to AvIators.
And in the open country the
trenches are so constructed as to be
invisible to an aviator unless he flies
very low. When he does fly low he
seldom returns to report. But there
are always volunteers on both sides to
attempt 1t. They go out and most OF
them are killed A few are captured
alive and they are treated with the
consideration their daring demands.

BY LUcIEN ARTHUR JONES.

Dunkirk.-I am writing this dis.
patch to the sound OF heavy rife firing
in the streets Of this town. A German
Taube Just now was flying above us
and receiving its customary salute of
bsllets. It finally disappeared in the
direction OF Ostend without doing or
receiving any damage.
This is the second aerial call the
Germans have paid Dunkirk today.
About nine o'clock this morning a
Taube hovered over the town for a
considerable period. The aviator paid
dearly for his temerity, for his ma,
chine was badly damaged by shot and
he was forced to descend outside the
town, only to find himself and the ma
chine Immediately captured.
The Taube has been led in triumph
through the streets of the town.
Naval Guns Repulse Germans.
1t now appears certain that the Ger
mans have been shelled out of their
positions at Ostend. Small parties,
however, were reported to be In the
town itself this morning.
The bombardment by the British
and French naval guns OF the Ger.
man right wing resulted in clearing the
coast from Nieuport to Ostend of the
enemy for distance of several miles.
In the interior the Germans are re-
ported TO be demoralized and the re-
ply OF their artillery for once is sadly
Intellectual.
Splendid work has been done here
by the British Red Cross detachment
which formerly was at Ghent IN
charge of DIR. Hector Munroe.
German Dead Cover Field.
A member OF the staff has told me
that the fields in the neighborhood OF
Furness and Dixmude were choked
with German dead. SO desperate has
the fighting been that the Germans
left in a hurry without thought OF
burying their dead or assisting their
wounded.
While he was In Dixmude a German
shell struck the house In which were
resting 27 Belgians and not one Of
them escaped death.
