brussels, August II, 1914
X Our halls have been filled
with Germans and Ameri-
cans. the latter in smaller numbers
and the former in larger crowds than
ever. They are gradually being got
out of the country, however, and
those who are going to remain are
being induced to 90 to the right au-
tborities, so that their troubles will
sooi be settled to a large extent
and they will not be coming here so
much.
This afternoon I went over to the
British Legation and saw Colonel
Fairholme, the military attache, for
q few minutes. He was just back
from a trip out into the wilds with
a party of British officers, and was
so clearly rushed that had not the
heart to detain him, although was
bursting with curiosity about the
news he evidently had concealed
about him. He appreciates the
lenient way have treated him, and
goes out of his way to let me have
anything that he can.

They examined the chauffeur's

and after looking wise told me to
move on.
When we got up TO the boulevard
there was great cheering, and we
came out on a thin file of French
cavalry, which was on its way
through town from the Care du
Midi. The crowd was mad with en-
thusiasm, and the soldiers, although
plainly very tired, pulled their
strength together every now and
then to cry, "Vive Ia BelGiqae"
There were crowds on the boule-
wards, waiting for news from ID bos.
A few French officers were going
about In cabs, and each time that
one appeared the crowd went mad.

mention of the grand success
of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in
their concerts in which our

print herewith an excerpt
from the Pittsburg Courier.
"The famous Fisk Jubilee
Singers have spent the month
Of January in Pittsburgh and
all of their time has been TAX
en- up with concerts and en-
tertainments~ at the large
churches throughout the city
and at the Alvin and Nixon
theatres. The distinguished
singers are very much sought
after here and are so much in
demand it is impossible for
them to make any more en-
Ragements while here. They
are travelling for the benefit
of Aha -Fiel uaixsssjty at
Nashville. Tenn, the second
largest arts college for Ne
groes in the world. Last
Friday nigh. they appeared
in concert at Carnegie Music
Hall. A large and fashion
able audience of the repre-
sentative citizens of Pitts
burgh greeted them with en-
thusiasm and appreciation.
This group Of singers is con-
sidered the best of their kind
in the country. The jubilee
songs collected and introduc-
ed to the world by Fisk Uni

and interesting. Every mum.
