MASONIC SIGN SAVES so

Ostend, Sept. 2a-The power Of
Free Masonry is illustrated by story
told here by a citizen of Louvain
who says that with the Masonic sign
he saved so of his fellow-citizens
from being shot to death by German
troops.
This group of citizens, declares
the Belgian Mason, had been lined
up for execution. The German firing
party had their rifles ready when the
narrator gave a Masonic sign. The
German officer commanding the fir
ing squad recognized a brother Ma
son and ordered him to leave the
ranks. This meant sparing his life.
The Louvain citizen refused saying:
"My fellow citizens are no more
guilty than | am. If you are going
to kill them I shall be killed with
them" The German officer thereupon
ordered the release of the entire
party.

Germany Willing to. Pc: High Price
For Victory.

London, Sept. 24-"Germany is
prepared to lose one million men in
battle. She is absolutely confident
Not even the sight Of long train filled
with the dead have dampened her
ardor"-That statement contains the
,gist of talks had with five men who
have recently returned from Ger
many. With three Of them-an Ameri-
can lawyer, doctor, and a college
STUDENT had personal talks. One Of
the remaining pair is the proprietor
of metropolitan newspaper in the
United States. The other is 4 news
paper man who has for years been
stationed in Berlin. He came to Lon
don on business, and has since re-
turned. Their statements were re-
rpeated to me by thoroughly res
!ponsible man. The five agreed in all
important particulars.
What follows i = digest nf heir .llk:
"Contrary to the statements | have
seen in London papers, there Is no
panic in Germany. Germans are quite
convinced they will be completely tri-
They know they must pay
heavy price, and they are prepared
to pay it. There is no disscnsion
among them. They are supporting
their war lord quite as Loyalty as the
English and French are upholding
their own leaders. It has been said
that the French regard this as holy
war. The Germans manifest the same
spirit"
"In the event of a crushing German
defeat, will there be democratic
revolution in Germany? VIII the
house of Hohenzollern be overturn-
ed?
This question was not put to the
newspaper proprietor. The four other
gave answer as follows:
"That question will not even arise

upon as groundwork for judgement
Germans of every class have wor-

that this war was sure to come even

forward to the time when they may

France. Every German believes that
the other nations have made common
cause with France, not because the
Gallo cause is just, but because of a
jealousy and fear of Germany they
all shared. If defeat comes-whlch Is
