OVER IN FINLAND.

New York, Aug. 19.-First hand tales
of the fight at Liege and grim nara
tives OF the war sweeping Europe came
into port today on the lips OF Aneri-
can refugees from the continent
aboard the Red Star liner Finland
Many Of the Americans aboard were
without money or baggage; some had
been held as spies; others had made
their way on foot from the interior OF
Belgium to Antwerp amid the scenes
and dangers of warfare and nearly all
had stories Of hardships encountered
in their fight.
With Dutch pilot aboard Captain
Barman steered his ship through lit
tle-used channel of the harbor of Ant.
werp to the North sea, where he found
the horizon smudged with the smoke
of British battleships. In his perilous
passage through the mine-strewn wa
ters there were no buoys to guide him.
His way lay over the shadows and he
had to tighten the ship Of all her wa
ter ballast to make the course without

although she few the American flag.
Trains All in Use.
James A. Patten of Chicago, and
Mrs. Patten, passengers, said they
were in Carlsbad when war was declar-
I'D between Germany and Russia. They
left for Nuremberg in an automobile,
and arriving there, were taken to the
guard house and rigidly cross-examin-
ed before they were allowed to con-
tinue. They boarded crowded train
for Ostend, but got no farther than
Cologne. There they found them
selves In a vortex of mobilizing troops,
and marching citizens. which choked
the streets. After long delays they
managed to get aboard another train
for the border, but go no farther than
the little town of Herbsthal near the
frontier, which they reached at 10
o'clock at night in downpour of rain.
1--WE managed to make our way into
little cafe,' Mr.. Patten said, "and
there we got one slice of bread piece
our first meal for the day. Next day
hired horse and cart to take us
over the Belgion frontier to Verviers.
Three other Americans were with us.
Saw Mines Laid.
ION the road we passed the most
pitiful procession of German refugees
fleeing from Belgium. Some were in
vehicles, but the majority were trudg-
Ing In the dust pushing or pulling their
baggage in carts. Women with babies
at the breast were walking in the
MONDAY sun.
From Verviers we proceeded by an
other cart toward Liege. We had not
progressed three miles when we came
upon a party of Belgian engineers

of dynamite stacked there ready to
