Mr.. Carnegie said that he would not

Belgians are telling with great pride
many stories of Burgomaster Max, OF
Brussels, who is now regarded as one
of the national heroes, as result OF
his handling of the delicate situation
presented when the Germans marched
upon the capital.
one of these stories is that when Max
met the German commander and 1t was
agreed that the invading troops should
enter the city without resistance, the
German officer laid his revolver on the
table across which they were to confer
with a great flourish. Immediately the
Burgomaster whipped out his fountain

banged It down on the table alongside

Major Jeanne tells the following story of
Corporal Lupin's herosm:
We were on the right bank Of the

the German battery. The musketrv on
both sides was terrible. All at once the
Germans adopted new tactics. They
seemed to withdraw from their position,
and we could distinctly notice their ranks

was only to bring up more artillery which
had been rushing from behind. The move
was smartly executed, the ranks closed

they were going to have the advantage

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-when the Royal
Mail steam packet Magdalena, which ar
rived here from Southampton, left the
latter place a few days ago there were
277 miles OF ships moored in the solent,
stretching from north of Netley to Ports

Of the Masdalena.
The purser said soldiers, sailors, army
nurses and British scouts were permitted
20 ride free in the trains in English cities,
and that the scouts were doing useful
work carrying dispatches. Only three
trains were run daily between Southamp-
ton and London. and passengers were not
permitted on the platforms until the train
came in. Persons in automobiles were
stopped by the military and the machines
seized for war purposes.
Five OF the big royal mail liners in the
Brazil trade the Amazon, Arlanza, Avon,
Aragon and Asturias, have been comman-
deered by the Government, two for hos

work, Harty said.
