because the loss of trained men in
enc of these old battleships is irrepar-
able
"A soldier may be trained in a few
months says the expert. but it takes
as many years to develop the skilled
man of war S-man.
These old battleships. moreover not
only carry very large crews, but also
are very vulnerable to mine and tor
pedo.
IT is possible, then. that it may be
found expedient to pay off some of the
older and less well-protected ships and
to provide for the service they have
been doing in other ways. For patrol
and search work, for instance, fast
merchant vessels with 9 few light guns
would be just as effective as the slower
and more heavily armored vessels. In
any case such vessels, if threatened
by a superior hostile force, must rely
on speed and not on firing power"

This war is being fought against a

Professor Carl Oppenheimer devotes
SIX columns in the Berlin Nossische
ZeitunS TO urging his cOuntrymen to
adopt vegetarian diet during the
remainder of the war. The attempt to
raise cattle for meat, he thinks, is
likely to mean too heavy a drain on
the supply of grain.
Meat is undoubtedly the most ex-

the professor. 1T is also undesirable
from national economic point a
view, because we must import a vast
quantity of fodder for our herds"

was received by General de Guise,
Commander of Antwerp, in the pres
ence of several officers.
Il apologized for being the carrier of
news of this sort" said Colonel Sorela
and then presented the papers l had
with me. The general seemed to be
in a state of high exaltation and told
me that he would fight to the death.

mans could commence the lombard

tended his hand and assured me of
his personal regard.
Il went to the Spanish and Ameri-

impressed with the fact that during
my entire trip l had seen nothing
outside of troops, but an old peasant
and a milk woman with a little cart.
All the refugees from the villages
neighboring on Antwerp were now in
the city itself"
At seven o'clock in the evening
Colonel Sorela decided to leave Ant
werp, and after a number of stops ar
rived at the outposts, at a point where
the English troops had Joined the
Belgians.
A battle had started about half an
hour before that. Forts No. 4 and 5,
of the inner fertilization line of Ant
werp were concentrating their fire
upon the woods of Contich. The Ger
man artillery was silent. The situation
became so serious that the chauffeur
after having gone about 100 yards
across the open ground between the
two armies decided to stop. The two
abandoned the automobile and return
ed to the Belgian position, where they
remained until 1 o'clock that evening
1t was impossible for Colonel Sorela to
leave the Anglo-Belgian line until
then.
Meanwhile the battle continued
Colonel Sorela decided, however. to go
on. and did so under the fire of the
Belgian forts and the German artil-
lery, the latter having resumed activ-
ity. Nothing but the most extraor-
binary good luck enabled the colonel
and his chauffeur, a Belgian, to regain
the German lines safely.
The Germans conducted Colonel So

is now published in this city Colonel
Sorela, military attache of the Spanish
legation at Brussels, who acted as an
intermediary between the German
commander and the municipal authori-
ties of Antwerp, is authority for the
account.
On October Z. about 10 o'clock in the
morning. Colonel Sorela says he was
called to the American legation. When
he arrived there he found the Ameri-
can minister and the Spanish minister
together. They informed him that in
accord with Article rs of The Hague
convention, the German commander
had informed them that the lombard
ment of Antwerp was imminent. They
had been told Of this, said the two
ministers. because the German COM
mander had found it impossible to get
in touch with General de Guise, the
commandant general at Antwerp. The
American and Spanish ministers de-
clared that they had refused to charge
themselves with this mission. but that
the German commander had told them
they would be held responsible for all
consequences arising from their re-
fusal.
Colonel Sorela was therefore asked
to charge himself with. the mission,
and he accented il.
In quarter of an hour he was ready
for the trip from Brussels to Antwerp
A letter of introduction which had been
given him by the mayors Office Of
Brussels. presented General Sorela as

Antwerp. 1t included documents in
which the German military authorities
had engaged themselves to spare
number of historic edifices in the city
of Antwerp in case the bombardment
should become necessary
A little while afterwards Baron de
Lancken. plenipotentiary Of the Ger
man Emperor and counsel to Field
Marshal Won der Goltz, appeared at the
legation to conduct Colonel Sorela out
of the German lines. He left to Colonel
Sorela the choice of either being taken

Colonel Sorela gave his word of honor
and then demanded at what hour the

not possible then to name the exact
time, but Baron de Lancken told the
Colonel it was unlikely that it would
commence before nightfall.
Within an hour the two automobiles
left Brussels. The first one, flying the
.colors of the United States and Spain,
carried Colonel Sorela and Baron de
Lancken. In the second machine trav-

Field Marshal Won der Goltz. After
short delay at Malines, the automobiles
continued on their way. reaching the
German outpost line within four hours.
From that point the Spanish attache
continued alone. Colonel Sorela,
meanwhile, had taken the precaution
to place between the Spanish and Am
erican flags white flag. which he had
thought best to take with him.
The distance between the Belgian and
German lines was about twelve kilo-
meters. The automobile was fired on

TREMENDOUS COST OF The 49,.
EUROPEAN WAR--T0TAL is
ALREADY over $6,894,000,00O

1t is pointed out by the VORWAERrs
that from the French total expenditures
so far made must be taken the following
leans: To Belgium. 100000; to Sery a,
Sl60O0,000: to Greece, 100000: and 10
Montenegro. 1000 or total of $40 %,
which would make the amount spent by
the French government in military oper-
ations 81, 4l6 10000 by the close OF 1914
For year the European war would on
this basis cost the tremendous sum OF
Sl6.6,6 l2oVO. Making an allowance for
the cost OF mobilization, but keeping in
mind that the sending of new troops in
to the field is in effect a lesser phase Of
mobilization it will still be found that
at the end of a year the powers at war
would have spent at least S16,JE,0""N
In this sum are not included the ecOn0.
mic losses of the countries, nor the
damage done to property in the various
military terrains. The loss to Belgium
from the destruction of property is es-
tmated at sl33000 90, while the damages

that together this would be no less than

To the cost of the European war must
also be added the mobilization eXp1ni!-
