Where Zeppelin Bombs Fell.
Every visitor to Antwerp is taken 10
5 the placcs where the Zeppelin bombs
fell. and after surveying the havoc
they created ono does not wonder at
the Stygian darkness into which the
/ CITY is piunged at night In one street,
about as wide as 42d street. the walls
of the houses on both sides OF the
street for distance of what would
approximate n little more than nan OF
one of our north and south blocks are
filed with so many holes that they look
as if the bullets had been sprayed from
a hose.
In the residence section every home
displays n huge flag from It's second
/ story window and the big broad Oiacn
stripe Of the Belgian colors' proving
more weather proof than the yello"

out to the city gates is as far as
one may 60. Here you find plenty OF
I soldiers, but they do not impress you
as being very military. or course
thew are not the flower Of Belgium
/ little army. The flower is mostly lying
under the sod, and what is left 10 out
side the city. where it makes raids
whenever possible on the Germans.
Ready to Fight.
These men that you see are mostly
volunteers in nondescript uniforms, ana
very slovenly Two privates on sentry
/ duty arc lolling on a toolboX outside
motor repair factory. An officer passes
and not only do the men not salute, but
/ they hardly give him a look. and DO
not even change their lounglng attitude
on the box.
But do not imagine Antwerp is net
| going to fight. Probably long before
this is printed you will have heard OF
the doing, of her armored train. which
/ | am told. is the most formidable OF It's
kind ever used in warfare.
The English have furnished the guns
for it, and il is said TO have been put
/ through a most severe test and 10 nave
come out with flying colors. IL may
run out any night now, and the Bel
gians say there is a nasty surprise IN
store for the Germans. And this Is
. WHAT may DIlIE hbbuN M otN"N" N''
Antwerp at any time il the Germans
can spare the troops.
The little Belgian army cannot eX-
pect TO keep on playing the part of
little fox terrier, dashng out and bit
ing and swapping at the heels OF the
big German dog, without the big dog
turning on it.
1t will take at least 100000 men TO
take Antwerp. the wlseacres say, and
the Germans will lose 100000 before
the other 100000 will walk in.
Also to Stop Rush.
In this connection | wish | were at
liberty to tell you the name OF the
concern which has done the most for
/ the defence of Antwerp. II has fur
nished aeroplanes, shells and other
ammunition, miles of barbed wire. and
has connected the wire entanglements
with the full force of the city's electric
plant. A few cows have been driven
into the wire entanglements, and the
result would make the record in Sing
Sings death house pale into insigniil-
, canoe.
The name of this concern is known
TO practically every man and woman in
business in the United States. and up
ward of 100000 persons in New YORK
send the parent concern a check each
north.
SO Antwerp seems likely to know it's
fate soon. Some people are very con-
fident and arc talking about what will
happen when the Belgian army marches
into Brussels.
'Mafcking' night in London will b,
nothing to what will happen when VIC
march into Brussels military man
remarked TO me.
but do you think the Germans will
leave any Brussels for you to march
into?"
"Ah. That We don't know. but we
will have the celebration, anyhow"
How a Baby Was Found.
And nov the men are running
around putting out the lights and the
police and civic guards are urging every
