Machine Guns and

We sailed back to the barricade
in high feather, astonished the
guard with our wise and ploughed
along the road, weaving in and out
among ammunition wagons, artil-
lery caissons, infantry, cavalry, BIZ
cvclists-all in a dense cloud Of
dust. Troops were everywhere in
small numbers. Machine guns COW
cred with shrubbery were thick on
the road and in the woods. There
was a decidedly hectic movement
toward the front, and it was being
carried out at high speed without
confusion or disorder. 1t was
sight to remember.
All along the road we were
cheered both as Americans and in
the belief that we were British.
Whenever we were stopped at a bar
ricade to have our papers examined
the soldiers crowded around the car
and asked for news from other parts
of the field, and everybody was wild
for newspapers. Unfortunately we
had only a couple that had been left
in the car by accident in the morn
ing. If we had only thought lit

full of papers and given pleasure to
hundreds.

still he was not altogether easy in
his mind. | called on him and did
my level best to reassure him, on
the ground that the Germans were
certainly not making war on semi
naries or priests, and that if the
Germans reached Louvain all he
had to do was to stay peacefully at
home and wait for quiet to be re-
stored. Most of his students were
gone and some of the faculty had
followed them, SO his chief concern
was for the library and other treas

Halted at Barricade
Thrown Across Road

From the seminary we drove out
the Tirlemont road, to see if we
could get to that little town and see
some of the fighting that was known
to be going on. At the edge Of the
town we came to a barricade of
carts, road rollers and cobblestones,
where we were courteously but
firmly turned back.
Everybody was anxious to make
it as nice as possible for US, and one
of the bright boys was brought for
ward to tell US in English, so as to
be more convincing. He smiled
deprecatingly, and said: "Verreh
bad. Verreh sorreh. Oui mus
max our Office, not?" So we'turned
and went back to town. They had
told US that nobody could go beyond

Troops and Supplies
On Road to Louvain

From Tervueren on we began to
realize that there was really war
in progress. All was preparation.
We passed long trains Of motor
trucks carrying provisions to the
front. Supply depots were planted
along the way. officers dashed by
in motors. Small detachments OF
cavalry, infantry and artillery
pounded along the road toward Lou
vain. A little way out we passed a
company Of scouts on bicycles.
They are doing good work and have
kept wonderfully fresh. In this
part of the country everybody
looked tense and anxious and hur-
ried. Nearer the front they were
more calm.
Most Of the groups we passed mis-
took our flag for a British standard
and cheered with good will. Once
in a while somebody who recognized
the flag would give it cheer on its
own account, and we got a smile
everywhere.
All the farm houses along the
road were either already abandoned
or prepared for instant fight. In
some places the reaping had already
begun, only 10 be abandoned. In
others the crop stood ripe, waiting
for the reapers that may never come.
The sight Of these poor peasants
fleeing like hunted beasts and their
empty houses or their rotting crops
vas the worst part Of the day. 1t
is a shame that those responsible for
all this misery cannot be made to
pay the penalty-and they never
can, no matter what is done to them.

metre or even two kilometres apart.
Sometimes we were held up every
fifty yards. Sometimes the posts
were regulars, sometimes Gardes
Civiques; often hastily assembled
civilians, mostly too old or too
young for more active service.
They had no uniforms, but only
rifles, caps and brassards TO distin-
guish them as men in authority. In
some places the men formed a solid
rank across the road. In others
they sat by the roadside and came
out only when we hove in sight.
Our lqisser-passers were carefully
examined each time we were
stopped, even by many Of the
guards who did not understand a
word of French, and, strangely
enough, our papers were made out
in only the one language. They
could, at least, understand our
photographs and took the rest for
granted.
When we got TO the first outpost
at Tervueren the guard waved our
papers aside and demanded the pass
word. Then our soldier passenger
leaned across in front of Blount and
whispered "Belgique." That got US
through everything until midday,
when the word changed.

BRUSSELS. august Is, 1914
X At 10 in the morning /
IL started with Frederick
Palmer and Blount in the latter's
car 20 see whether we could get
little way out Of town and get a
GLIMPSE Of what was going on. We
were provided with IGisser-pdssers
and passports and all sorts of ere
dsntials, but as a strict prohibition
arainst sightseers has been enforced
Tor some days we rather doubted
whether we should be able to get
further than the edge Of town. Be-
fore we got back we had gone more
than q hundred kilometres through
the heart Of things and saw a great
deal more than anybody should be
allowed TO see. We got back to
town about 8 o'clock, thoroughly
tired and with eyes filled with dust
and cinders.
Part way out the avenue we were
hailed by a soldier, who asked US
for a lift as far as Tervueren. He
climbed into the car beside me and
rode out. The Foret de Soignes
was mournful. Quatre Bras, where
the cafes are usually filled with a
good-sized crowd Of bourgeois, was
deserted and empty. The shutters
were up and the proprietors evil
IDENTIFY gone. The minister's house,
near by, was closed. The gate was
locked and the gardeners dog was
the only living thing in sight.
We passed our golf club a little
further on toward Tervueren. The
old chateau is closed, the garden is
growing rank, and the rose bushes
that were kept so scrupulously
plucked and trim were heavy with
dead roses. The grass was high on
the lawns; weeds were springing up
On the fine tennis courts.
The gardeners and other servants
have all been called TO the colors.
Most Of the members are also at the
front. shoulder 70 shoulder with the
servants. A few caddies were sit

greeted US solemnly and without
enthusiasm. These deserted places
are in some ways more dreadful
than the real horrors at the front.

lots of people suffer from it. l was
just as glad the proprietor had not
denounced US as spies, as the popu-
lace has a quite understandable dis
taste for them. was glad the
bright cafe proprietor could distin-
guish our lingo from German.
After lunch we went down to the
headquarters of the General Staff,
to see if we needed any more vises.
We did not, but We got sight Of
the headquarters with officers in all
sorts of uniforms coming and going.
The square was full of staff autos.

Fighting Prevents
Further Progress

The barricades were more numer-
Gus as we drew nearer the town.
About two miles out we were
stopped dead. Fighting was going
on Just ahead, between us and the
town, and the order had been given
out that nobody should pass. That
applied to military and civilians
alike, so we could not complain, and
came back to Louvain, rejoicing
that we had been able to get so far.
We hunted up our little cafe and
ate our sandwiches at a table on
the sidewalk, letting the house profit
TO the extent of three glasses OF
beer. We were hardly seated when
a hush fell on the people sitting
near.
The proprietor was summoned
and a whispered conversation en-
sued between him and a bewhis-
kered old man three tables away.
Then Mr.. Proprietor sauntered over
our way with the exaggerated care
lessness of a stage detective. He
stood near US for a minute or two,
apparently very much interested in
nothing at all. Then ne went back,
reported to "Whiskers" and the
buzz of conversation began again
as though nothing had happened.
After bit the proprietor came over
again, welcomed US to the city,
asked US a lot of questions about
ourselves, and finally confided to US
that we had been pointed out as

completely barred off from general
traffic and was surrounded with
grenadiers. We got through the
town and stopped at the only cafe
we could find open, where we had
a bottle of mineral water and talked
over what we should do next.
In Louvain there is an American
theological seminary. We had had
some correspondence with Mon
seigneur de Becker, its rector, as to
what he should do to protect the in
stitution.
AT our suggestion he had estab-
lished Red Cross hospital and had

vain.
On the way back we decided that
we could at least try, so we hunted
through the town until we found
the headquarters of the command
ant. A fierce looking sergeant was
sitting at a table near the door,
hearing requests for vises on ldisser-
passers. Everybody was begging
for a wise on one pretext or another,
and most of them were being turned
down.
