MAI. L0GAN'S DAUGHTER
BELGIAN WAR VICTIM
Tells of Her Escape After Germans
Had, Destroyed Her Husbands
Home and Property.

Hardships and restitution suffered, per-
sonally by the daughter Of the late Maj.
John A. Logan, U. s. A., who was killed
in the Philippines, recounted in letters
to her grandmother. Mrs. John A Logan.
wife of the famous general, show that
reports of the dire need in Belgium have
not been exaggerated.
This daughter Of Maj. Logan was edu-
Gated abroad and married a Belgian. now
Capt Sancay, who is in the thick Of the
fighting to expel the invaders from his
fatherland. 0.-.
The father Of Capt sancay was a
prominent business man Of Brussels.
with a country home in Liege. Mrs.
Sancay was at this country villa with
her baby when the German forces in
vaded Belgium in August. Their pro-
visions and live stock we're plunoeTed
their automobiles seized. finally their
home was destroyed and they were
forced to flee to Brussels and thence to
Paris to meet Mrs. Sancay's mother.
Tells Of Flight.
The story of this flight is graphically
told in letters received by Mrs. Logan.
showing that this American girl saved
her own and her baby's life by but a
narrow margin. Meanwhile MIS-; Logan
daughter-in-law was at the baths In
Carlsbad, and she also had a harrow
ing time in making her escape to Eng
land. with only the clothes she had on
her back. .e ..
After much delay and difficulty she
had her automobile released and load
ed it with some of her more valuable
and treasured belongings. but as her
chauffeur was a Frenchman he was
overtaken and imprisoned and Mrs:
Logan never learned what became or
her auto and other goods.
American relatives finally got relief
through to these two women. Mrs
Logan has returned to America and
has gone to relatives in Youngstown.
Ohio, but Mrs. Sancay has remained
in Paris and is working twelve hours
day with the Red Cross and RELIEF
committee. Her. letters are heart
touching word-pictures of the suffer
ing of the people of Belgium. They
tell how many who were the wealth.
lest people in that nation have been
reduced to restitution, and how by
the thousands the people nave been
driven to Holland and England to
escape starvation, with families sep
arated and unprintable conditions on

Will Propose Retention.
Believing that at least one of the frat
ships OF the American navy should be
stationed at the capital of the nation.
Commissioner Newman tomorrow morn
ing will take up with his colleagues on
the board the advisability of request
ing the Navy Department to allow the
Constellation to remain in Washington.
II the Commissioners decide to make
the request there is every liability
that they will receive the active sup
port OF the trade bodies of the city
and other organizations. Washing
tonfans generally are believed to be
immensely in favor of the plan.
It Is pointed out that tho Constella-
ton, In the event she should be moor
ed here at the navy yard, would be an
object of interest to thousands of viel-

public rather than for receiving sta

representing. as she does, the highest
type of naval construction of the lat
ter part of the eighteenth century. In
her day she was looked upon as an
able fighting craft. II the first COM
manders of the ship could return to
earth and see the changes that have
been made in naval ships since their
day they would be more than SUR
prised.
Though it was not generally known
that the Constellation had arrived here.
she had a number OF visitors yester-
day. 1t is expected that many thou
sands will journey to the navy yard
today to visit the vessel.

The wars of Napoleon in 13 years

Civil war expenditure Of the federal
government was $4,000, 100000, near
ly thirteen times, as much a year
as Napoleon's The Franco-German
war cost France $3.50, 100000, be-
sides an added war indemnity Of ST.
000,000,000. This same great war.
which lasted only 1870 days, cost Ger
many $450,000,W0 for an average
fighting force of 100000 men. The
other big European war of the past
half century, the Russo-Turkish war;
cost Russia 786,100,OO0, but she ha4
two years fighting for her money!,
The war in the far East cost Japas
$650,000,000 and Russia $723.000,0 0As
not counting lost ships. Only toward
the end had either side anything like
million men In the field. Italy's
little war with Turkey cost $500, 900 a

know whether the dog was or was not

himself within week or ten days

he proves himself clear of rabies the
