ON Inc 1hlAtu Eltoo
LONDON, Sept Following the de-
struction OF Louvain, the report from
Ostend that the Germans have destroyed
Dinant, after shooting several hundred
male inhabitants, alleged to have fred
at the German troops in the city, has
aroused another wave OF intense indig-
nation against German war methods.
The newspapers call upon the allies
to serve notice on Germany that repri-
sails will be resorted TO "if this cam
paign of tcrrorizng vandalism is to be
continued" The reports received here
say that the Germans executed all OF
the prominent citizens OF the town, in
clnding NJ Humbert, owner of a big
factorv who was slain In the presence Of
his wife and children.
The Germans allege that citizens had
fred on them from the heights about
the city. They then drove all of the in
habitants out. shot many Of the men as
examples. took the gold from the Branch
Of the National Bank and burned the
business section. The official war bureau
has not confirmation of the affair which
is reported in news agency dispatches
from Ostend, but all OF the London
newspapers accept it as true. Dinant
was q town of S.OOO. fifteen miles south
of Namur. and dated back to the sixth
century.

WORLD MOURNS FRIEND
TAKEN BY death
RY EDDIE RIMLINGER.


With the sudden death of Paul
Gillespie, this city has lost one of the
best amateur ball players developed
in recent years Springing up from
the sandlots of the east side, where
he and Jimmy Taylor we're wont to
lash the sphereoid. Paul worked his
way to the pinnacle of local diamond
fame. Playing with Salesianum in
1911. he set a dizzy pace for the
scholastic shortstops in this section,
and his brilliant fielding, coupled
with some timely clubbing, was
revelation to the ardent followers of
the Gold and White.
In 1912, Paul covered second base
for st. Aloysius, and his spectacular
work with them brought him even
more wildly into the limelight When
the season of 1913 was ushered in
Paul was scooping up the fast ones
and banging out base hits for Rock
ford, but Pusey and Jones, in quest
d a sterling second sacker for their
team in the now defunct Industrial
League. signed Paul to cover a dam
aging break in their defense. Aided
ty Billy Beck, Mike Fidance, and a
few other stars, Paul pulled the p.
& J. corporation TO a tie-up with
Pennsylvania Railroad for. the cham
pionship of the league. The Indus
trials broke up early and the i'll
lated infelder was once more grabbed
by St. Aloysius for the crucial elimi-
nation games for the amateur cham
plonship Of the city. II was the
same old story in this never-to-be-
forgotten five-sided conflict, st.
Aloysius handily winning out. and
Gillespie's shining work up to his
usual high standard.
Before the present season opened
Paul was unanimously elected Ncap-
tain of St Aloysius, but instead of
plotting the Fourth and Jackson
street collection, he signed up will
the Pennsylvania Railroad aggrega-
ton, and was acting captain during
the first few games. When he stop
