SEES BATTLE AS
THOUGH IN THEATER
Correspondent Describes the
Perliminaries to Belgian
Attack on Town.
(By E. Alexander Powell, )

Antwerp, Sept. 17.-This was orig
inally intended to be the story of the
taking of Weerde. Owing, however,
to circumstances over which neither
the Belgians nor I had control,
Weerde remains untaken.
Sunday morning four Belgian diyis-
ions pressed forward along front
extending from Aerschot nearly to
Alost, a distance something over thir-
ty miles. The Belgian center rested
on Sempst, two miles south of Ma
lines, its objective being the town of
Weerde on the Antwerp Brussels rail-
way, q. point Of considerable strategic
Importance. eF y Y
Belgians Shoot, All Day.
It was known the Germans occupied
Weerde in force, SO throughout the
day the Belgian artillery. masked by
heavy woods, pounded away inces-
sanity.
By noon the Germans guns ceased
to reply, which was assumed by the
5ubilant artillery was silenced. DON
aid Thompson, the Kansas photo
grapher,. appeared and we arrived at
the headquarters Of the first division
at Sempst early in the afternoon,
leaving our car at the gate of a con-
vent, over which a Red Cross flag was
flying. This promised. therefore, to
Work Way to Farmhouse.
Thompson and I. accompanied by
Roos, my military driver, by keeping
close to the trenches which the Bel
g1an Infantry evacuated in their ad-
vance, succeeded in reaching a farm
house which stood quite by itself in
the middle Of field.
One hundred yards in front of the
farm house stretched highway
which runs from Brussels to Ant
werp. Lying in deep ditch border
ing our side Of the highway was a
brigade of infantry which formed the
Belgian firing line.
Like Seat in Bleachers.
Ascending to the garret of the house
we broke a hole through the tiled roof
and found ourselves looking down
upon battle precisely as one looks
down ON a football game from an
upper row of seats in the Harvard
stadium.
IN the immediate foreground were
two regiments of carbineers and two
regiments of chasseurs. crouching in
the ditch or lying prone on the
ground. Five hundred yards along
the other side of the highway we could
see through trees the red pottery
roofs and whitewashed walls of
Weerde.
Alusketry Rattle Heard,
A short distance beyond in a heav-
iiys wooded park was large stone
chateau. The only sign that the town
was occupied was pale blue gray
vapor which hung over it, and the
constant crackle of musketry issuing
from it.
In the late afternoon word was
passed down the line that the German
guns were put out Of action, and that
the enemy was evacuating the town
IN disorder and that at $3.50 sharp
the whole Belgian line would advance.

groups of three or four lie together
awaiting interment.
Wounded Cared For.
Virtually all the wounded, whether
cetved treatment and have been
transported to neighboring villages
from which place they will later be
transferred to the provincial cities.
Heavy Fighting Indicated.
Along the banks of the Marne evil
dences Of severe artillery fire are visi-
bic everywhere. Some parts, looking
as though they were plowed trenches
abandoned by the Germans, were ex-
cellently planned, but shells bursting
overhead caused hundreds of casual
ties.
All about the fields are fresh heaps
The graves for the most part are
marked by rough l1ewn crosses. The
officers were inferred separately, the
graves bearing their names and in
some cases decorated with flowers. All
about are battered helmets, broken
rifles, bayonets, swords, belts. and
haversacks.
Bodies in River.
In the river Marne, which the Ger
mans made heroic efforts to cross
many times, but were always beaten
back by the overwhelming French ar
tillery, bodies occasionally came to the
surface. The country people, almost
prostrated by the ruin which has been
wrought, are gradually returning to
their homes from which even today
could occasionally be heard the far
distant firing of machine guns and
field artillery.
CORRESPONDENTS Arrested.
No civilians or correspondents are
permitted to approach anywhere near
even the reserve firing lines of the
pursuing British and French troops.
Five correspondents who ventured out
were arrested and threatened with in
carceration in the fortress until the
end Of the war.

two days has rendered difficult the
movements of the troops.

KITCHENER PUT

(By Lawrence E,ston ,

London. Sept. s, {by mail to New

been at the front twice within the past
fortnight. His latest visit. during
which he was away from the war Of

tie of Charleroi. So acute did the
feeling become between the two lead
ers that Lord Kitchener deemed it
necessary to personally intervene,
which he did successfully.
To Prevent Leakage of News.
In connection with kitchener's abb
sence from London this week, the Of
ncial press bureau requested London
newspapers not to make any mention
OF his movements. In fact, the day
after ne left, the press bureau issued
bulletin to the effect that Lord
Kitchener visited the King in Buck
ingham Palace today
This was for the purpose OF pre-
venting a leakage Of news Of Kit
chener's presence at the front
However, five minutes after the bull
letin was issued the press bureau told
the Newspaper correspondents who
are stationed there. that the item was
not true, but hoped the newspapers
would not deem 1t necessary ia witt, :

CHAPTER XIV.

In land of class privilege and Off.
cial graft it is often only in times of
anarchy that a poor man can get his
rights. For eight months Hooker had
battled against the petty intrigue OF
Aragon and the agente mineral, and
then suddenly. when the times turned
to war and fear gripped at their hearts,
he rose up and claimed his own, hold
ing out his brawny right hand aid de
handing the concession of his mine.
In day the whirligig of fortune had
turned. and 1t was the fighting man
who dominated. He spoke quietly and
made no threats, but the look In his
eye was enough. and the agente gave
him his papers. Then he wrote out q
receipt for the mining tar and Bud
stepped forth like Q king.

So he hurried down to the hotel
again and was just making sack Of
food fast to his saddle when he heard
a noise behind him and turned to face
Aragon. For two days the once
naughty Don Cipriano had skunk about
like q sick cat, but now he was headed
for Gracia's big roam, and the look In
his eyes betrayed his purpose.
where you gofng?" demanded
Hooker in English, and at the gruR
challenge the Spaniard stopped In his
tracks. The old. hunted look came
back into his eyes, he seemed to
shrink before the stern gaze Of the
Texan, and. as the memory Of his past
misdeeds came over him. he turned as
If to fee.
But there was q smile. an amused
and tolerant smirk, about the Ameri-
cans mouth. and even for that look
OF understanding the harried hacien-
dado seemed TO thank him He was
broken now, thrown down from his
pedestal OF arrogance and conceit, and
as Hooker did not offer to shoot him
at sight he turned back to him like q
lost dog that seeks but Kind word.
Bud knew that Aragon was entirely
at his mercy, that fear had clutched
the once arrogant Spaniard by the
throat, and it was almost worth the
anxiety he felt for this mans daugh-
ter to see the father cowed. Aragon
