signs of war were increasing all

hours we reached Paris, hoping for

matter to get out of Paris and we
feared we might never get out. To
find oneself prisoner of war is a
desperate feeling. For four days we
struggled to get away, as did all
Americans. We we're compelled to

stood in line until midnight because
we found that unless we stayed until
the police office closed we could not
have our papers signed. After eight
days of great anxiety we made dash

be held up and forced to go back.

BELG|ANS MAKE
EXTENSIVE USE
OF BOY SCOUTS
Lads Act as Messengers, Or
derlies, Guards and Nurses .
IN the Field.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-An English
correspondent in Brussels describes
the prominent role the Boy Scouts in
Belgium have played in the hostilitiea
UP to the present time. The Boy
Scouts, 1t will be remembered. were
hrst heard of on the firing line at
Liege, where they carried messages.
The article follows:
Belgium is the first country to
make a wide use of the services of
the Boy Scouts in time of war. Here
In Brussels they were employed as
dispatch riders between the various
departments of state; as orderlies at
the numerous depots of the Red Cross
organization; as policemen" they pa
troll the streets during the day. and
IN case of any disturbance can at
once summon assistance; and upward
of hundred are daily collecting
money for the Red Cross Society and
Tor the various funds started for the
relief of the families of the men at
the front,
There are today some $500 Boy
scouts In Belgium-3,000 in the organ
ization based on the lines of the Eng
nsh Boy Scouts and / 500 belonging to
the Catholic Brigade Before hostili-
Ties commenced boys of ten years of
age We're admitted to the former, but
IN view of the many duties which the
scouts now perform the age has been
raised to fourteen. Each candidate
must have good general knowledge
and be of exemplary conduct. Their
uniform Is identical with that of the
English Boy Scouts. The Catholic
Boy Scouts are founded on much the
same lines. Their dress, however, diff
fers, the tunic shirt being dark blue
In color, and when in full dress they
carry a knapsack on the shoulders.

WIRELESS USED BY
GERMANS IN FIELD
Portable instruments Have
Range of from 35 to
4 1870 Miles.

LONDON, Aug. CSC. Basil Bar
ham, writing in the Daily Telegraph,
gives some very interesting informa-
tion on the German wireless equip
ment for war. His article follows:
''In the German army at least IT
would appear that the days of field
telegraphs have passed and the labo-
rious and lengthy method of laying
wires between distant points i'll or
der to establish communication Is
now obsolete. Only along established
lines of communication will wires. be
laid for Geographic and telephone
purposes: the field equipment consists
almost in entirety of portable WIFE
less Geographic outfits.
"In other countries portable equip
ments of this character have been
cumbrous and far from easily ham
iled. The German engineer has, how
ever, worked hand In glove with the
service man, and the Kaiser'5 forces
are now equipped with a means of
communication which is so light and
portable that a motorcyclist with
side car could readily transport one
of the smaller outfits some 200 miles
In day.
1.-THE short range instruments will
send and receive over an average dis
lance of thirty-five miles. Where tho
country is level as in Holland, 1t Is
possible the range might be forty or
even forty-five miles; in hilly coun-
try it might not exceed fifteen Or
twenty miles. The larger sizes have
extremely long range and over aver
age country a message could no
doubt be sent 1870 miles or more.
1.-THE aerial is very ingeniously de-
Ayjsed. It consists of a number Of
bronze wire conductors radiattng out
ike the ribs of en- inverted umbrella.
These are accurately balanced and
counterpoised. and the radiating
wires are attached to insulators fas-
tened near the bottom of the mast.
For sending purposes dry batteries of
a special make are supposed to be
used. but in case these are not avail
able a small dynamo, coupled to a
nedaling arrangement, forms part of
the outfit. With this a man can
easily drive the generator at speed
of /. 400 to 1,400 revolutions per mini
ME and so provide a current of one
.ampere at fifty volts, which is amply
'sufficient for sending purposes. The
weight of dynamo and pedal drive
e ninety-nine pounds, and 1t is so
arranged that 1t can be carried by
one man by means of straps, which
fasten across his shoulders"

Friends of Bishop Edwin S. Lines
and Mrs. Lines were relieved yester-
day when a letter, dated August 10,
at Morley's Hotel, Trafalgar Square,
London. was received in this city. The
letter, written by Mrs, Lines, tells of
the trip made by the bishop and her.
self through war-stricken France.
TOO much has happened to write
about" writes Mrs. Lines. 1--WE were
refugees fleeing from war at Nice and
Paris. We started on our Journey on
the 18th of July, and, although we
agreed to. go slowly. we found we
could not dc 1t. One ID obliged to
keep going. So we kept at 1t every
day until We reached Nice. There I
said, This Is the end We had little
idea how near the end It was for us.
My son Edwin, writing July 30. knew
that war was coming and wondered in
his letter how 1t would disturb us. as
we were In the south of France.
We knew but little of 1t. We would
have heard more had we been nearer
Paris. So Saturday, on the first day
of August, while we were down for
an early breakfast, so as to go to
Grasse, Bishop Lines heard. that the
war news was worse. So we gave
up inc journey AS soon as Cooks
was opened, Mr.. Lines went there and
found that our way was blocked at
Lyons, as the government had COM
Wandered all trains.
Thirty Hours Locking for Safe Place.
I'VE started at 2:S0 o'clock, and
for thirty hours we were trying 10

story to tell. have written it down
for myself and you can read 1t later,
If you want to. We never had such
a scramble and struggle for places
as at Marseilles-never! We heard

You know what 1t would be like to be
