NAME APPLIED TO KAISER
Action Toward Belgium History's
Greatest Crime, Lord Curzon States.

HIStlISSI SIllleJ LOtu SuTHOu OLdLe5.
LONDON, Oct 13.
Lord Curson of Kedleston. formerly
Viceroy OF India, addressing the masters
and boys at Harrow School last evening,
saidx
"Germany's action toward Belgium is
the greatest crime in history. The Ger
man Emperor's name will go down to
posterity as William the Bloodstained'
and William the Assassin
Regarding the duration of the war. Lord
Curzon expressed the opinion that more
than one Christmas would pass before
the soldiers returned home"
Germany has taken Antwerp to for
tify it, to keep 1t, to make a great naval
port of 1t, to use It as a great jumping
off place for hNr future attempts upon
this country. 1t Is no temporary occupa-
tion unless We make IL So"
Lord KurZon added that by fortifying
Antwerp Germany would obtain r. grip
on the whole OF Belgium make Holland
play her will and then settle down to her
main object-the destruction OF this coun-
try. He said England was in for long
war and declared he was shocked that
some people should think the hostilities
would be over by Christmas.
In closing he advised his hearers not 10

PALLADA ESCAPED TOGO
IN RUSS0-JAPANESE WAR
One of Few Survivors of Russian
Fleet in Conflict.

One Of Few Survivors of Russian
Fleet in Conflict.
According to a Russian resident in Phil
adelphIa. the Pallada was one OF the
three warships which escaped to vlsdivos-
tok after the defeat Of the Russian fleet
IN the Straits Of Tsushima by Admiral
Togo in the decisive naval battle of the
Russo-Japanese War. Another was the
Bayan, which was one of three armored
cruisers attacked by the German sub
marines The third was the VariaR,
which, after making its escape from
Togo's warships, encountered a squadron
of three japanese cruisers in the Sea of
Japan, and after a battle lasting several
hours, during which the Variag and its
crew wrote one of the most heroic chap
ters in Russian naval history, went to
the bottom.
The Pallada was one Of the few war
ships which returned from the Far East
after the war and brought the tidlngs
OF defeat and herolsm into the harbor
of Odessa.

The spirit OF the French peasantry Is
shown by the following letter which a
sister wrote to her soldier brother:
Dear Edward-We have just heard
that Charles and Lucien are dead and
Eugene mortally wounded. Louis and
Jean also are dead. All of the brothers
Rose have disappeared. Mother is crying.
but says you must go to avenge Jean, the
head of our family and the holder of the
Cross of the Legion Of Honor You must
earn It now. Eight Of us have been
killed DO your duty"
An incident humorous and yet gravely
significant occurred on the occasion of
the Kaisers visit to ST. Petersburg be-
fore the Franco Russian alliance. Sew
eral Cossack troops were drawn UP for
inspection by the Kaiser. AS he viewed
them he was attracted by a beautiful
sword carried by CossacK officer May

the swords of the Cossacks are excellent.

YES your Majesty" replied the Of
fcer. ut Is a very old one"
The Kaiser took the sword and read
the engraving on 1t. Then, with a smile,
he returned the sword. The engraving
was:
God give me opportunity to lead my
horse to drink from the Spree (the river
on which Berlin is located)."

the Kaiser, land fully accomplish the
desire of your ancestor"

quarters.

Looking out OF the windows of a Ger
man military train, when 1t stopped at
Charleroi one morning, I saw a German
soldier bending over flower bed on the
grounds of the railway station, says an
Aix-la-Chapelle correspondent of the New
York Sun. He seemed to be attentively
examining the flowers. AS he knelt there
he frequently moved his hands gently
among the blossoms, as II he were caress-
ing them
See" l said to one of my companions
There is that beautiful German love Of
flowers again. with the ruins Of whole
streets of this town still smoking, this
private soldier finds time to admire
flower bed that has escaped destruc-
ton"
We grew quite sentimental about the
matter Suddenly the man rose from
his knees and with him there came from
the flowers a telephone receiver and two
or three yards of telephone wire.
Strengthening himself he put the re-
ceiver to his ear and spoke rapidly. We
could hear some of the words. They ap-
peared to be a repetition or verification
of certain orders.
The flower bed and the soldier we're on
the left of the train. On the right and
at greater distance we saw the par
allel streets of unroofed houses. From
their cellars and shattered floors clouds
of smoke rose lazily into the sunshine.
AS the train was pulling out with its
burden of silent German wounded OF
disConsolate French and English prs-
oners, and of fretted correspondents who
had been suavely assured that they were

In every instance and everywhere it
appears to work that way. They have
a place for everything. and they put
everything In It's place. This system
is a curious combination of simple
household and office routine, of craft
and of overwhelming prowess.
AS for the stupendous phases OF the
system. the mind is staggered by them.
These men, you say to yourself think
of the little things and do the big
things. You take your stand on an emf
nence of the Belgian countryside which
affords you a noble sweep OF field and
skyline. At your feet a long gray coll
umn is moving across the plain. It
seems TO stretch from horizon to hori-
zon. Half mile to the east a parallel
is rolling forward, a mile to
the west you follow the route of a third
column from the clouds of dust that
hang over it. There is no music.
There are no flags. From the high
way Immediately below you rises the
clink of chain and harness, the cries of
the rumble of metal pontoon
bridges, borne on huge motor trucks,
the steady scuff, scuff of ten thousand
men who are marching on an average of
30 kilometcrs a day and who frequently
make a maximum of 80 kilometers 4

setq Do you know that the New
Year is really hours old before the
bulk of the civilized world Is able to

Priority in rejoicing over the event
is actually given to the untutored in

in the middle Of the Pacific.
In the United States the idea OF
announcing broadcast over the land
the birth of the new year originated
with the officers in charge OF the ma
val observatory in Washington. Ten
wears ago It was suggested that the
telegraph companies dispatch at mid
night from Washington series of
signals proclaiming the exact moment
of the new years beginning. The
idea was taken up, and signals were
sent out at midnight and at one. two
and three o'clock in the morning fol-
lowing in order that each great time
division Of the United States should
receive its own appropriate midnight
signal from the nations capital.
Since the beginning Of this service
other telegraph and most Of the ca
BILE companies have lent their COOP

with which these New Year greetings
are flashed from Washington to dis
tant points can be gathered from the
fact that it takes less than four-tenths

reach Lick observatory, California;

to the city to spend Christmas. Her
mother said she could 70, but to re-
member and be good girl. Nellie
promised she would, then she kissed
her mother and father good bye, and
got into the carriage and rode away.
When she got to the city, she re-
embered what her mother had told
her. A poor girl lived across the
street from her aunt's house. Nellie
never knew her, but when she saw
her she thought that she might be
nice girl. And the next day would
| be Christmas. So she got her things
on the Christmas tree for the next
day.
That night she went to bed early
so that she might wake up in the
morning.
When the morning came she was
very happy to see the beautiful things
she had.
Martha the little poor girl, was
crying bitterly because she had hung
I'D her stocking and Santa Claus had
forgotten her. After she had stopped
crying she said to her mother: why
don't Santa Claus visit the poor chill
dren as well as the rich?"
Then her mother said: Because
the poor cannot give him money to
pay for the things he leaves. So be
happy. my child, God will take care
Of us II we are poor"
In a little while in came Nellie with
a basket Of food and many toys. She
had taken them from her own toys
and brought them to Martha. Then
Martha said. Mother prayed that
we would have something to eat for
our Christmas dinner besides a crust
Of bread and God answered my pray.

said, mine is at the end" When
she came to her table she saw nothing

As she read the words she grew so
angry that she could not stand still.
She raised her head and she saw an

she dropped another coin in the teach
