A despatch from Amsterdam says that the Antwerp correspondent of the Telegrafs reports that the airship's trip across the city occupied twenty minutes She was drifting down the wind without using the propellers lest their noise should warn the city. This correspondent says that the deaths due to the activity of the Zeppelin numbered twenty-six.

SAVED BRUSSELS FROM
 BEING FORWARDED
U. 5. Minister to Be.gium Plays
 Important Role in War;.

Washington. Aug 26.-Brand Whit lock, American minister to Belgium, from Brussels, which he reported to for several days, finally succeeded yesterday in getting cablegram through to the American government frum Brussels, which he reported 10 he in German hands, but completely surrounded by armies engaged in active operations
 Did Not Go to Antwerp.
 Mr. Whitlock did not move the American legation with the Belgium court when the seat of government was taken from Brussels to Antwerp, but remained behind together with most of the other neutral ministers. It develops that through the. influence of the American minister and the Spanish minister the burgomaster of Brussels was persuaded not to make d fight because of the fatal conse- Quences of bombardment of the de- fenseless city. Mr. Whitlock's tele- gram, dated Monday, is in part as fol- lows:
 Duty in Brussels.
 Acting under the discretionary powers granted, I decided that my
 
 ish minister reached the same con- clusion, as did the ministers of seven teen other neutral powers. The repre- sentatives who went to Antwerp were the French, Russian and British minis- ters, whose nations are involved as belligerents and some others who went for personal reasons.
 Already entrusted with German interests here, I subsequently took over the British legation and the pro- tection of large resident British colony.
 Rendered Efficient Service.
 Owing to the disinterested posi- able to render services for which have been thanked by the German commanding general, by representa- tives of the British colony, by the in- ter parliamentary union, and by an official of the Belgian foreign office on behalf of the king.
 "As I reported to tho department, the Spanish minister and made rep to the burgomaster be- fore the occupation of Brussels, which, in connection with other considefa- tions led him to abandon his inten- tion of attempting a futile defense of the city, which might have brought on a bombardment with all it's terrible consequences.
 Position Is Unique.
 'The position of our legation in this conflict is unique and happily so detached that, being entirely without apprehension as to our personal safe- ty. we have been able to render cer- tain humane service, scrupulously ob- serving our neutral position"
 First Secretary Gibson of the American legation, who went to Ant werp from Brussels after the latter city was taken by the Germans, tele- grapted the state department that all foreigners in Brussels were safe and uMmolested.

1 STOMACH TONIC

There is a form of indigestion called
 .tonic'' dyspepsia. Atomic means 'lack
 tone" It is probably the most com |on form of indigestion but not much IS
 Eard about it because people are in- ned to group all forms of dyspepsia as Stomach tro,ible' and the doctors let it
 at that.
 II,ack of tone in the digestive organs
 eans that the stomach is no longer able
 do it's work as nature intended: Tho krves that control it are weak the
 snds that supply the digestive fluids {e not working properly. Gas on the |omach, sour risings in the throat and {nstipation result. The cause of the |nuble is thin blood. Stomach, nerves bd glands are all dependent on the iood and when it gets thin and watery hev are at once weakened. Dr. Will hrns' Pink Pills act directly on the 5ood and the first response from the tomach is better appetite, freedom kom distress after eating and an increase l ambition and energy generally. Try 4.

S35 FINE FOR HAVING
 BOB VEAL' IN STORE
Buycerri Had a Little Calf, Little Calf and 1t Followed pr. Crowley to
 Police Station.

Seba stino Buycern, Lafayette street butcher was fined $35 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning TOT having bob vear in his possession. He plea ded guilty to the charge.
 Meat Inspector George T. Crowley visited Buycerri's place of business last night and claims to have found veal carcass weighing forty-seven pounds less than the minimum weight permitted by statute. Buy cerrfs wife pleaded with the inspect or and begged him not to arrest her husband.
 Buycerris statement to Judge Mes- XII was rather contradictory. He said he went to the country yester- day to buy some vegetables and pur- chased the veal. He believed when he bought 1t that it weighed sixty pounds, he said. In the next breath Buycerri stated that he did not know the law, despite the fact that he had admitted his familiarity with the re- quirements of the statutes in the previous statement. He has been in business for two years.

One of the remarkable features
about the conditions existing here as
result - the European eruption is
the seemingly general demand for the
exercise of governmental authority in
matters which in ordinary times have
been considered as outside the proper
sphere of government.
We see the federal congress enact
ing laws providing for government
lines TO carry our foreign trade, with
possibly government insurance for the
cargoes of private owners. We see
measures introduced in congress for
federal regulation of the stock ex-
change with a view TO eliminating the
gambling features of the institution.
We see bills in preparation which will
largely curb the speculative evil on
boards OF trade and operate to prevent
the manipulation of grain prices and
foCdstufIs. We see bills being drafted
for the regulation of cold storage
plants IN order 10 prevent the holding
OF food products for the purpose of
price boosting. We see the govern
ment exerting itself 10 protect buyers
OF necessaries from eNtortion and US
ing its resources TO care for citizens
stranded in foreign ports.

MEETING A CRISIS

These are all worthy purposes and
should be carried out without rancor-
Gus discussion. But a few months ago
thousands who now endorse these gov
ernmental activities would have de-
nounced them as "paternal" and 80
cialistic."
When crises come, people are not
frightened by words and phrases if
only the results can be achieved. II
sometimes takes a hard. jolt to bring
us back to the realization that the chief
purpose of government is the greatest
good OF the greatest number, and not
the mere conservation of precedents.
