GENDARME FAILS To
FRTGHTEN U. S. consul
Official at Ostend Sends People to
Safety Despite Orders from
Pompous Military Man.
NO MORE SHIPS ARE AVAILABLE
BY CAPT. GRANVILLE FoRTEscUE


Ostend, Oct. 1s-Nothing in history can
equal the outpouring OF Belgians from
their native land. For days the terrified
populace has been fleeing from every
point OF the compass. Every ship leay-
ing for England is crowded to the danger
point. -
The anguish of thousands who stood
in dense packs on the quay waiting their
turn to go aboard was pitiable. When
news came that no more ships were ar
irving a moan went up from the throng.
The despair increased when they heard
that ships already in port had been COM
Wandered by the military as transports.
One Of these vessels was saved for
the people by the American Consul,
johnson, the duties Of the British Con-
sui having been turned over to him. He
took charge Of one packet and arranged
that a crowd Of fugitives who had come
to him with English passports should
sail for Folkestone on this ship.
As he stood on the bridge making the
final arrangements with the captain, an
oficious captain Of the gendarmes ap-
peared on the gang-plank and announced:
This ship is reQuisitioned for the use
Of the army"
1T is not" calmly replied the consul.
who are you?" demanded the gen.
darme.
AT the present moment am the Brit
ish consul. I also am the American con-
sui and have taken this boat for the
passage of people under my charge"
You cannot have it" persisted the
gendarme, 'I take possession in the name
of the militar yauthority. Let no. per-
son pass the gangplank."
Come on board, people," shouted Mr..
Johnson, which Is perhaps not the exact
phrase a British consul would have
have used
"FIl shoot the first who crosses" de-
clared the gendarme-
The consul smiled.
81 guess you won't Come on" he
nodded to the fugitives who watched the
scene in alarm Hesitatingly they stepped
aboard, and muttering strange Flemish
oaths the gendarme disappeared

Price OF SOFT DRINKS
BOOSTED" IS charge
Manufacturer Here Protests Drug
Trust Has Raised Prices
on Herbs.
CONGRESS MAY INVESTIGATE

One Of the leading manufacturers OF
soft" drinks in this city has complained
to the Department of Agriculture that
the drug trust has raised prices on herbs
grown in this country on the pretext
that they are brought from abroad.
1T will be impossible" he is quoted
as saying. for the producers Of pure
soft drinks 10 60 any further until the
government takes hand in alleviating
the condition which now confronts the
manufacturers Of ginger ale, sarsaparilla
and other soft drinks. Unless something
Is done about II We will have to either
raise our prices or put out impure goods
In making ginger ale the ingredients
required are ground Jamaica gtngerrooL
citric acid, burnt sugar and the flavortnS.
Since the war gingerrOot has risen from
Q cents a pound to g cents; citric from
50 cents to NL75; burnt sugar from 50
cents to Sl.10
The manufacture of sarsaparilla re-
quires oil Of sassafras, oil Of sweet birch,
and true oil of wintergreen, besides the
havoring. Oil OF sassafras has jumped
from s. cents a pound to S1.75: oil Of sweet
birch from S1.25 4 pound to $3.50; true oil
of wintergreen from SIS q pound to ;.3
Lemon consists of pure oil OF lemon,
citric acid and the favor. The price Of
oil OF lemon has gone from S.lo a pound
to SS25 and citric acid from IS cents q
pound to N.75.
Then there is the cork-lined tin stopper.
Because Of the scarcity Of cork, which
comes from Spain, the price has ad-
vanced until it is almost prohibitive-
As yet no new prices have been given
out on glass, but it is known that very
few glass houses in this country are
blowing bottles.
The soft drink manufacturers pointed
out that very few OF the materials they
use come from foreign countries, and
therefore, they argue, the war cannot be
blamed for the rise in prices. 1t is stated
that certain Congressman are preparing
data preliminary to starting the investi-

BARGAIN WEEK
AT GOLDENBERGS.
Big Sale Marks Opening Of
New Five-story Annex
to Patrons.
ALL STYLES ON DISPLAY
Extension of Floor Space Means In
precedented Business Ahead of
Popular Department Store.
ALL STYLES ON, DISPLAY

Goldenberg,s has made arrangements 10
offer to the public of Washington the
largest array Of bargains in every line
that It has ever attempted. IN connec-
ton with the formal opening of the new
hve-story annex, beginning this morning
and to continue all the week.
In the annex that faces X street large
assortment Of linens and household
furnishings are on display. This annex
also goes through to Eighth street, and
in this section presents feature, ''the
daylight store" that is not to be found
in any other department store in WASH
ington. This feature insures the proper
matching OF goods, which Is an impor-
tant matter in the dry goods business.
All Sorts of Goods.
In the section that faces on Seventh
street a great supply of winter shoes
are on hand. This branch also contains
dressmakers' notions, underwear and
hosiery, gloves, leather goods and
jewelry. ribbons, laces and embroideries
and toilet articles. 1t will be worth the
mems while to visit this section of the
store and see the large assortment OF
the last word in neckwear.
The new annex. in honor OF which AL
these bargains have been arranged, Is
a veritabIe palace inside. The floors and
woodwork are richly finished in mahog-
any, and provided with windows that
make 1t as bright and cheerful as in the
open air. On the second floor Of the
new annex is a large retiring room over
looking K street, in charge Of q Tnatron.
In the ladies' tailoring department,
which Is also in the K street annex.
twelve up-to-date fitting rooms have
been installed. And in the ready-made
suit department the suits are no longer
exposed to the dust and hand soils Of
the old revolving hangers. New enclosed
glass cases now hold them.
Dust-proOf Cases.
In another room are kept the silk
goods and handsome gowns, and to in
sure them from handling and soilins
ground glass, dust-proof cases have been
installed. At the extreme south end OF
the second floor the purity cafe has
opened.
A large supply of the latest shapes and
styles add attractiveness to the hand |
some millinery department A large as
sortment OF children's hats also have
been received.
The third floor is given almost entirely |
to the childrens department, and since
the completion of the new annex It has
been stocked with the greatest bargains |
ever offered in children's clothing.
The increased floor space in the base |
ment has caused the installation Of a |
large supply OF household paraphernalia |
that has not been carried heretofore be- |
cause Of the lack Of space.
The rapid growth of Goldenberg's pat
ronage in the last few years has been
shown clearly by the frequent, additions
to the store at various times. The recent
acquisition Of the large furniture store Of
Jackson Brothers has been a fitting cli-
max to this remarkable growth, and the
firm expects the patronage of the Wash
ngton public to equal the additional floor
space they have acquired.

Mexican Peace Delegates Send
C0mmIssi0n to Naco.

Mexican Peace Delegates Send
COmmission to Naco.
The Mexican peace conference at Aguas
Calientes has named a commission to go
to Sonora and endeayor to arrange for
a cessation OF hostilities between the
forces OF Gen. Maytorena and Gen. Hill,
who are now engaged in battle at the
border town of Naco. The State De-
partment was advised Of this action.
The situation in Sonora has for a long
time been one apart from the general
situation in Mexico. Maytorena, the gov
ernor OF the state, insists on remaining
supreme in authority and has refused
to recognize the right Of Carranza to
send into Sonora any troops under his
control. While Maytorena has had the
support OF Gen. Villa in his quarrel with
CarranZa, his afiliations with Villa are
regarded as OF more or less doubtful
character.

TAKES UP CAUSE OF POLICE,
Sylvester Trying to Bring Third
cInas Tay stNenrcr" PrIvates.

Mai. Richard Sylvester, superintendent
OF police, now is endeavoring to get the
District Commissioners to reduce from
eight years to five the limit before a
private can receive third-class pay OF
81 200 annually. A private first must
serve as a first-class man, then he is pro-
NOTED to the second class and finally to
the third, the highest-paying position in
the ranks. 1t takes eight years to reach
this position.
Since he has been at the head OF the
department Mai. Sylvester has inaugu-
rated many ideas and plans whereby the
private have been benefited, his most
recent work being in the shortening OF
reserve duty.

; The kaiser's Hatrc- Of England

. EPoRTs from Berlin that the Kaiser has
~ removed General Won Moltke. chief Of
the German general staff, and named Gen
eral Won Voights-Rhetz to succeed him, are
followed by rumors that great Zeppelin at
tack on England is being planned, and that
Count Zeppelin himself will be in command of
the air fleet.
The alleged reason for Won Moltke's dis
mssal was his unwillingness to divert any
part of the German forces. now meeting the
allies in Eastern France to an attack on Eng
land He Is said also to have dsapproved Of
the Kaisers famous order to concentrate an
overwhelming force against the British ex-
,pediticnary army under General French. on
the ground that this represented bad strategy
Whether these things be true or false, they
accord, in spirit, at any rate, with the views
of some of the shrewdest pro-German war
commentators in this country, who declare
that Britain. rather than France or Russia,
is the power that the Kaiser and his adj
visers most desire to see humbled. This bit
terness of hatred makes the reported airship
raid on the British coast rather easy of
credence. 1t is certain that it will be made

true that the example of low-priced opera in

But why not? With all this war news
going on and people praying for peace and
shipping guns and aeroplanes to help war,
and hardly anything doing at the gayest re-
