KING ALBERT's CLOSE CALL
Belgian Ruler Escaped Capture by

Paris.-King Albert of the Belgians
escaped capture by the Germans re-
Gently only by shooting the chauffeur,
who was driving him rapidly toward

Describing the narrow escape of the

occurred while Albert was making
tour of inspection of the Belgian forts.
He noticed that his chauffeur was
taking him near the German lines and
ordered him to stop. Instead the
chauffeur put on full speed and headed
straight for the enemy
King Albert drew his revolver and
shot the chauffeur dead. Papers were
found on his body showing that the

How Europeans Get Our Gold.

Do you know just how Europe re-
Gently got that $125,000,000 in Amer
lean gold. Well, here is the way it
was done: Europeans hold great
amounts in American securities, which
is to say they have bought bonds is
sued in this country. When the war
crisis came they saw the need Of ac-
tual money In place Of these bonds.
They cabled to their American bro
kers to sell at the market price. They
took whatever they could get, but
there was always something offered,
SO the sales were heavy.
The purchasers of these bonds gave
their checks. These the brokers
cashed at their banks and got curren-
cy. This currency Of the United
States is made good by the deposit
of gold in the treasures. For every
gold certificate in existence there Is
the actual metal in the treasury. SO
the brokers, getting the currency from
the banks, went to the sub-treasury in
New York and asked for the actual
gold. They received it and sent the
gold to their customers abroad.

almost beyond repair, SO I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.

500 IN MADISON STREET FIGHT
STUDENTS AND TOWNSMEN BAT.
TIE FOR TWO HOURS.
Town Boy Is Thrown in River by Mis-.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 6.-Students of

he BLAMES ENGLAND
German Chancellor Says 1t Has
No Moral Scruples.
Petty Means Adopted to injure this
Teutons-Belaians Are Accused
of Gross Inhumanity to
Their Foes.

Berlin. - Doctor Won Bethmannn-
Hollweg, the imperial chancellor, at
the behest of the kaiser gave out the
following appeal to the American
people through the American en-
bassy:
II don't know what is thought in
America about this war, but / assume
that since it's beginning the exchange
of kilograms between his majesty, the
emperor. and the car Of Russia and
the king Of England has been made
public. This proves irrefutably that
our emperor stroye until the very last
moment to maintain peace.
His efforts were destined to remain
futile because Russia was determined
to have war at all hazards, while Eng
land, which for a whole decade had
been fomenting enmity against the
German national spirit in Russia and
France, though she now found splen-
did opportunity to prove her oft-assert-
ed desire for peace, when the test
came preferred to let this chance go
with France and England could have
been avoided.
But the British policy knows no
moral scruples. And thus the Eng.
lish nation, which has always posed as
a. champion of liberty and justice, has
allied itself with Russia, the spokes-
man of the worst despotism, country
that knows no intellectual nor relig-
ious freedom and which treads under
foot the liberties Of whole peoples as
we'll as of individuals.
Already England must begin to SEQ
that she has made a miscalculatiOnr
since Germany Is winning the mastery
over her foes. Therefore England
now tries to injure Germany by the
most petty means, striking at our COM
merce and our colonies. Regardless
of the inevitable fatal consequences
for the common civilization of our
white race, England has provoked Ja-
pan to a predatory raid upon our col
ony of Kiauchau in China and has led
the negroes of Africa to battle against
the Germans in our colonies there.
After destroying Germany's means
of Geographic communication across
the seas England went further and
opened an all-round campaign of lies.
THE officials Of Belgian cities in
vited officers of our army to eat with
them and then when their guests were
off guard shot them dead across the
table. Contrary to all laws Of human
ity, the whole civil population of Bel
GUM was called to arms and Belgian
civilians, after their first feigned
friendly reception of our troops, shot
them down from behind with con.
cealed weapons and committed all
manner Of horrible cruelties. Belgian
women have cut the threats of Ger
man soldiers whom they had received
in their houses after these soldiers un-
suspectingly had lain down to Sleep"
