CHAPTER XIII.
THE RED LETTER "B.

IN the Baron's room at the Ritz late that night
there was held a secret conference. Two shadowy
figures stole down the corridor at midnight and were
admitted to the room. while Prince Robin slept
soundy in his remote four poster and dreamed
something that brought gentle smile to his lips.
The three conspirators were of the same mind:
what! That was the question Gourou declared
that the people very much disturbed over the
trick the great capitalist had played upon the Cab
met; there were sullen threats of revolt if the
government insisted on the deposit of bonds as re-
quired by the agreement More than that, there were
open declarations that the daughter of Mr.. Bthers
would never be permitted to occupy the throne of
Graustark. Deeply as his sub jects loved the young
Prince. they would force him to abdcate rather
than submit to the dissertation of throne that had
never been dishonored. They would accept William
w. Blther's money. but they would have none of
William w. Blithers daughter. That was more
than could be expected of any self-respecting
people! According to the Minister of Police the
name of Blithers was already a common SYNONYM
for affection - and frequently employed in suppo-
sizing maledction 1t signifed all that was mean
treacherous, scurrilous He was spoken of through
cenched teeth as "the blood sucker" Children were
ominously reproved by the threatening use of the
word Blthers. "Blithcrs will get you if you don't
wash your face and all that sort of thing

resignation of the Cabinet, but even the pessmistc

vicinity of the throne GrauStarkians would abide

New York, Sept. 12.-Gouging out

ting off of limbs, numbering of those
ready to be taken to hospitals and
treacherous assaults were among the
atrocities performed on the wounded
German soldiers in Belgium by the
lower classes of Belgians, according
to letter written by Prince Henry

Count Won Bernstorff, German am
bassador to the United States.
The letter. which was received yes

in part:
Il hope that we have already pro-
tested to the government at Brussels
against the frightful atrocities which
were committed and are still being
committed daily by the lower class of
the Belgian population against our
brave soldiers, especially against the
wounded ones. 1t seems that the
Belgian government is either help
less or else does not know the least
about these things. which are worse
than the cruelties committed during
the Balkan war.

NAT|0NS :
PROTEST ON
TURKEY

Washington, Sept. 12.-The Unit
ed States probably will join the pro-
test of the powers against Turkeys
abrogation of the capitulations
which granted foreigners extra ter
ritorial rights and otherwise re-
stricted the Suzerainty of the Otto
man empire.
A definite course of action has not
finally been decided upon by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
The disposition ofs Washington
government was to await the initia-
tive of the European powers.
The view that the American gov
ernment would protest against the
abrogation of extra territorial rights
was advanced by officials who said
the reasons would be two-fold, first:
Americans had invested considerable
sums in Turkey because of the spe-
cial privileges and protection afford
ed them under the capitulations, and
second: because the removal of ex-
ira territorial rights must lessen the
personal security of American mis-
sionaries.
Ambassador Morgenthau cabled
the state department today that the
European powers had protested
against the abrogation, but that as
he was without instructions he did
not join in tho action. - ~ q
Officials here said the protest was
a mild one and some observers in
Constantinople looked upon 1t as
hardly strong enough to make any
impression on the porte.

is published by the Weser ZertunS
of Berlin, copies of which reached
here today. Under the caption
From the Border to Liege" the Of
ficer describes his experiences and
feelings in a letter which reads In
part as follows:
"Our trip to the Belgian border
was Il trium2hal procession. 1t was
pouring rain as we marched through
Ardenes. The towns seemed desert
ed. We had no rest and during the
night we were fired upon.
AT 5 o'clock In the morning OF
August 9th we marched through Me
Ourthe valley, meeting obstacles ev-
erywhere. 1t was an awful march:
the roads were blocked by fallen
trees and boulders; of bridges there
were only remnants. In the after
noon we took up quarters In vii
lage south of Liege.
AT o'clock an alarm is sounded;
the captain shouts storm Liege'.
1t is impossible. We cannot go farth-
er; the forts are thirty-five kilomet-
ers away, but we press on. Thirty
minutes pass and we are fired on
from the heights. Now shots are
fired directly at us from nearer
points. We draw our revolvers and
rush forward.
1.-The field is alive with troopers
OF all arms. 1t Is raining In torrents.
A thunderstorm is roaring and night
is pitch dark. We press on. We see
soldiers fall. Now they fall in mass
es and do not rise. The sky clears,
the moon shines. we hear cannonad-
ing.
Suddenly we hear that our bag
gage has been attacked. One COM
pany turns back. The village has
been burned down; all the people
shot. Such are the atrocities of the
Franc-Tireurs. Meanwhile we keep
on, close to Liege and turn off be-
hind the wood. Four regiments lay
down their knapsacks and rations
are taken out The last exhortation
is given. We firm In ranks for the
charge.
SHELLS whistle past but without
aim. We gallop by. our artillery
stuck helplessly in the mud up to the
stomach. A wild hail of bullets burst
on us from a point directly opposite.
Our own men are firing upon us,
but just in time we are recognized.
Now we are directly in front OF the
firing line of the forts. There is
wild clamoring.
Friend and enemy look alike.
