j lost myself in the piteous crowds
which fled from Tirlemont to Tongres
! had. to save myself at the worst, the
pass which the German vice consul in
Holland had given me. In the fol-
lowing / will tell the story Of what /
saw on that pilgrimage.
\ Woman's War Pilgrimage.
West of Tfrlemont, where the smoke
of burning Herent and Kangaroo
darkens the sky, stands an ancient
church, white flags OF peace still
hanging from its bombarded belfry.
on the shell-shattered steps lie the
dog Of Flanders, his Red Cross blan-
ket and first-aid barrel shot to pieces
by the invaders bullet The two are
sign and symbol OF a Prussian army
passing.
Herent was fired because a father
resented a Uhlan's insult to his daugh-
ter.
The heart of prosperous Kangaroo
was bOmbarded because the peasants
destroyed the bridge over the village
brook. There were neither rifles nor
ammunition in either place; probably
never had been.
The town of Tirlemont. where
small arms were stored in a desperate
desire of self-protection. has been
badly shot up, but still stands.
In Brussels and the Belgium, where
Prussian soldiers are exposed to for
eign observation, they conceal their
regimental numbers while the officers
refuse to give their names. Thus
atrocities are the work of anonymous
men.
Records ChaIlxed on Guns.
Within the German Gordon such
safeguards seem unnecessary. Sacked
Tirlemont is filled with dragons OF
the 66th 26th and Gath regiments OF
the line. The Place du Marchi is
crowded with machine guns, on whose
steel shields are chalked each gun
crews record so far in the war. on
the walls Of the thirteenth century
church the Prussian army has pasted
posters printed in three languages

part of a conquered German province.
All Homeless and PennileSs-
The straight, tree-shaded road to
Grinde is crowded with homeless
wanderers; hundreds of wan-faced
women, children whimpering at their
skirts: scores Of aging men in self
respecting hOmespun. determined
little boy carrying his pet kid. a girl
clasping her bolt OF wedding linen,
youths with the essential parts of their
textile tools strapped TO their backs,
strong old women staggering under
huge jars. dogs Juggling at over-laden

Yet in their misery they find pity

woman lying in the wheelbarrOw is

dragons buried alive, head down

discovered and disinterred-tOo late.
In silence, in terror, we crowd down
the once peaceful road, hands raised,
passports humbly held before us.
Every few yards there is a sentry TO

LabOrers With Lance Wounds.
Ia the lever fields. golden with
wheat, lie wrecked reaperS and ruined
steam plows-all the simple wealth of
the farming community. Broken men
with tense faces, many of them
wounded by lance thrusts, garner the
sugar beet harvest.
The air is foul with the OdOr of de-
cay. of unburied sheep. poisoned by
owners who refused to feed the in
vaders of their free country. All the
sign boards are effaced to battle the
incoming enemy.

In Roesbek, white flags hang from
every house front, here a housewife s

a siege gun-a siege gun brought up
to deal with a hamlet Of 400 people!

Wigwam for Day-Old Babe
In the roadside ditch the father of
a day-old babe has built a wigwam
of tent poles and straw. Last week
he had a nice little Belgian house,
prosperous farmer. the master of his
fiOcks and kline.
"Louvendane is utterly destroyed"
he says grimly. Germans fighting
west of Mechlin were repulsed by the
Belgians. A hundred 55th lancers OF
the Rhine fell back here. Some OF
them, mad with blood, insulted the
women of our village. In a dozen
houses Walls were burst which spread
strangling fumes Then our houses
were fired. If you want to see worse

ticable. A seemingly endless convoy
of guns block the road-siege guns

CONTRACTS IN COURT.
Pittsburgh Club in Legal Tilt With
Federal League Agents.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, March 2s.-con-
tracts between the Pittsburgh National
League club and its players will be ex-
hibited in court here Thursday ELS a re-
suit of decision today by Chancellor
]. P. Henderson in injunction proceedings
of the Pittsburgh club against S. H. Cam
nitz and other agents of the Federal
League.
The chancellor previously had indicated
that to prove contract relations between
club and player the contracts should be
exhibited in court. In todays session
counsel for the Pittsburgh club stated
that the club was willing to exhibit the
contracts, but argued that the salary
paid each player was a private business
relation.
1t was agreed that the salary clause
be subject to the scrutiny of the court
alone.
The court granted the Pittsburgh club
until Thursday to produce the contracts.
At that time the merit Of the case with
reference to the antitrust features of or
ganized base ball and the validity of base
ball contracts will be argued.

PRINCETON, N. j., March os-An-
nouncement was made today by Presi-
dent Hibben of Princeton University that
Edgar Palmer of Rye, N. Y, a graduate
OF the class Of 1903, has offered to
build a stadium and present it to the
university for use of the Athletic Associa-
ton in time to be used for the Yale
foot ball game next fall
The committee on grounds and build
ings met today and approved the plans.
The board of trustees will accept the
gift April 8. The stadium will be buiJt
of reinforced concrete in the shane of
the letter "V'' and will seat 4l,OOO per-
sons. The location will be on the south
ern slope of the field south of the uni
versity buildings. Fhe estimated cost
is 100000 to be given entirely by Mr..
Palmer. The object of the gift is to
increase the endowment and income of
the university by giving back into the
treasury for scholastic purposes the
money now spent annually for the cree
ton of temporary bleachers for big foot
ball games
The field will be used for foot ball and
track athletics only
Dean Howard McClenahan, secretary of
the stadium committee at Princeton,
made public some of the details of the
proposed 100000 stadium. The structure
will be 700 feet long and $50 feet wide
and will be of Gothic architecture. Its
main entarnce will face Prospect avenue.
The top of the sides will have an eleva-
ton of sixty-six feet above the playing
field. The space between the floor Of the
stands and the ground will probably be
used for rifle range later on.

for dressing room. but the remaining
$4,000 OF the c: H: Mccormick gift to
the 1911 championship eleven will be
used to build accommodations for go or
800 men.
