A broad minded Pennsylvania
relative. a strong Wilson man,
whose opinions and predictions
are highly valued in his home
city, and also by the writer,
takes occasion in "A genial com
munication to inquire: What
do you think of the little Jersey
schoolmaster nowY We very
frankly state in reply that Mr..
Wilson has exceeded by far the
greatest expectations of his most
sanguine friends and has won
the respect and esteem of his
bittcrest opponents by the mas.

conducted his administration,
and for the beneficiary changes
he has caused to be made in be-
half of the common people. We

tio from [ q chief executive for
his attituC' regarding the tolls

favors tho payment of toll 10y
American vessels passing thru
the Panan canal. against which
policy the Democratic platform
contained a prohibitive plank.
The innOC MT bystander can dis.
cern many reasons why these
constwise vessels should NOT pay
toll. but NJ good cause why they
should. urles the objections of
English 81 mship companies,
who must cough up the toll, can
be considered a reasonable rea,
son. Il seems like rank injus-
tice 10 home industry and 10 the
American passenger tailic To
force this extra assessment unOn
them. The steamship companies
will simply play the John ID. act
and increase the price of trans
portation. so that shippers and
passengers will really bear the
burd IN. England naturally de-
sires the toll imposed upon
American ships. as il will put
said ships upon common rate
basis with their own, but was il
not the United States that bore
the expense of building the ca
nal, and anyhow this country
has never been i'm the habit of
bending the knee To England, So
why begin now? Mr.. Wilson
readily accepted the platform
with all its provisions when the
Presidency was offered with il.
Now that he holds the office.
how can he conscientiously turn
down the platform, or any part
thereof? How can Democratic
Congress consistently assist him
to do so? Is the party platform
merely a fake advertisement 10
catch the unwary voter? Ii
should at least have a line at the
bottom reading: We reserve
the right to fulfill or disregard
any or all the promises made in
this platform" 1t is to be hop
ed that Mr.. Wilson is right i'm
his stand ON this question, Just
as he has been right on all other
problems, but the people are still
an explanation. Those
already given are not sufficient F.

Terror spread suddenly-was only
fully realized when German shells
fell at the rate of 20 minute in the
heart of the city. Previously there
had been an unreasonable confidence.
At once everything changed. There
ensued a vast scramble which would
have been absurd had it not been
tragic.
The only bridge across the Scheldt
which the Germans had not destroyed
was a pontoon, and columns of sad

household pets, with every sort of
vehicle, surged through streets lead

poor were on common plane OF
woe.
Following the German operations
there are comparatively few non-com
batants left in the city, although the
continuous stream of unfortunates
flows across the Scheldt. Railroad
stations in north Belgium and Hol

An Endless Stream
Of Belgian Fugitives
Crowd into Holland
Citizens Of Antwerp Rush From
Sound Of German Cannon.

Rotterdam.-Since the tragedy at
Antwerp half the towns in Holland
seem to have doubled IN population.
Over half million people, mostly
women and children, poured over the
Dutch borders from Belgium. Before
the majority got out of earshot the
huge German guns were already
smashing Antwerp behind them.
Every station in Holland is little
city of sorrows. Mothers sit on
benches in the cold giving their
babies the only food they have. Chill
dren stream everywhere over the
cobbles and men gaze hour after hour
at the bulletins in the shop windows
which tell of Antwerp's desolation.
Most of the families in Holland
are opening their doors and giving
shelter to the homeless. Trains and
barges pour into every town. They
have come without intermission for
the past twenty-four hours and there
is no sign of their stoppage.
One of the most pathetic facts is
the fight of large body of lunatics.
who escaped from an asylum. Many
Of these are now roaming about the
country, causing fear and disorder.
The Dutch Government has issued a
warning to the people not to be hasty
in dealing with strange persons who
are likely to be lunatics. Sixty Of
them arrived at Eindhoven in care of
monks.
Flushing, Breda. Rotterdam, Rosen-
daal, The Hague, Amsterdam, Ter

crowded and the streets of these
cities and towns are impossible. The
cry is "Still they come"
The exit from Brussels was tragic
enough. but many of Antwerp's sons
and daughters now in Flushing have
been hiding in cellars for days. Many
have seen those dear to them shat
tered to pieces by shells, and all the
while there had been the sickening
fear OF the bombardment, only to
end in its realization and hurried

Russians Win
Advantage in
VistuIa Battle
German and Austrian Forces Make
Obstinate Stand Against Advance
Of Foe I'M South PoIand--cxar's
Troops Hold Hungarian Ground.

London.-The Ministry Of War in
Petrograd announces that Russia has
conquered and occupied $4,000 square
miles of Austrian territory, while
successfully pushing vast offensive
operations against the German
provinces Of East Prussia, Posen and
SiIesia.
The center of interest now is in
southwestern Poland, in the province
of Radon, where the Germans, hav-
ing formed a junction with Austrian
forces, are obstinately opposing the
advance of the Russians toward Bres-
lau and Cracow. The battle is in the
initial stage, with slight advantages
gained by the Russians.
The Russians have driven back the
Germans from Wlccloweki in Russian
Poland, 35 miles southwest of Thorn
in East Poland, and have fortified
themselves within a few miles of the
fortress of Thorn, according to a
Petrograd cable.
The course of the River Vistula
outlines the battle front. On the
west side, Gen. Won Hindenburg com.
manding an estimated force of 100000
Germans and Austrians, is obstinate
ly con!esting the progress of prob
ably 100000 Russians commanded
by the Grand Duke Nicholas. Toward
the southwest, east of the River
Dunajec in Galicia, the Russians are
attacking German and Austrian out
posts
Northward of this principal theatre
of operations Gen. Rennenkampf,
with accessions of fresh troops and
artillery, is following up his success
at Augustowa and along the River
Niemen. Russian troops have pene-
trated into East Prussia in some
places, but for the most part the
Russians are content to hold the Ger
mans on the defensive along the
whole East Prussia frontier. It is
confirmed that the Russians are de-
veloping strong offensive in the
Mazur Lakes region in East Prussia.
Oficial reports from Germany de-
clare the story of the advance of the
Russian forces across the Niemen
River in the Government of Suwalki
is a lie, and say in the battle near
Augustowo. the Germans completely
defeated two Russian army corps,
took $500 unwounded prisoners and
twenty guns and number of ma
chine guns.
Przemysl is being heavily lombard
ed and Petrograd says five of the
forts have been silenced, while a
story from Rome declares the city
has fallen into the hands of the Rus
SLAMS.

menting on the situation at
Antwerp, says:

lery. If the German force held

"The capture Of Antwerp by
the Germans will have an ef-
feet which cannot be denied
upon opinion. But the city,.
even If converted into a Ger
man first-cIass fortress, will
bring the Germans little adj
vantage, for the scheldt can
not be used for naval purposes.

tain Antwerp when peace

Reims, that regiment of Prussian
guards threw itself desperately upon
the lines of the French cavalry.
Not once but FIVE times did the de-
voted regiment hurl itself against the
solid French front. After the fifth
charge there were only a hundred
men left surrounding their flag. With
signs Of reluctance they gave the sig

found that nearly all of the hundred
were wounded.
In the course Of this engagement
