To-day half the officers and non

the others a little, but it was some
thing else that busted them ill up. The

British Subjects
Are Arrested

BRUSSELS, NOuem6er 10, 1914.
Some more excitement yesterday
morning when various British sub
iects were arrested.
Two German civilians tried to
force their way into the British Con-
sulate and arrest Mr.. Jeffes, the
British Consul, and his son, al
though the American flag was flying
over the door and there was a sign
nosted TO the effect that the place
was under our protection and all
business should be transacted with
Ms. Fortunately, Nasmith was there,
and after trying to explain the mat
ter politely he made for the two
men. threw them into the street and
bolted the door. The gumshoe men
were so surprised that they went
AWAY and have not been back.
Countess dc Buisseret's little boy
was playing on the street yesterday
when the German troops passed by.
Reing a frightful and dangerous
criminal. he initiated their goose
stem and was arrested. NJ. de Leval
went around TO headquarters to see
what could be done, supposing, OF
course, that when it was seen what
q child he was his release would be
ordered. Instead, he was told Sc
riously that the youngster must be
nunished and would be left in jail
for some days.

the street. The officer to whom the
car belonged had seen the display Of

run out to express his views. The
soldier did a Genee toe-spin and

DR.. Adler's Philadelphia
Speech Not Unpatriotic

DR.. Felix Adler has called the atten-
ton of The Tribune TO an error IN ITS
published report of speech he made
SUNDAY night before the Ethical Culture
Societv at the South Broad Street The
atre, Philadelphia. The statement, too:
that persons left the theatre because OF
the unpatriotic sentiments expressed in
the speech. DR.. Adler said, was incor-
rect. The truth of the matter, accord
ing TO DR.. Adler, was that he had TAXED
little longer than he planned and
POSSIBLY three or four persons did leave
to catch trains.
In The Tribune's account DR.. Adler is
quoted as having asked why individuals
should be dragged from home and hre-
side TO subordinate individual rights
for the benefit OF the nation. Il ne
elected to add, as the speaker did, "be-
cause the nation is greater than the in.
dividual and is to be revered and
obeyed by the individual"

Two Irainloads
OF Food Arrive

BRUSSELS, Norcmber II, 1914.
On the morning of the 10th I
came down to the legation and
found things in an uproar. A tele-
gram had been received saying that
two trainloads of food, the first
shipment for the Province Of Liege,
would cross the frontier in the
course of the afternoon, under con-
yoy of Captain Sunderland, our
military attache at The Hague.
The minister and / are the only pco-
pie authorized TO receive shipments;
and as no power of attorney had
been sent TO the Consul at Liege,
things were in a nice mess, so at
the request of the German authori-
ties and the committee it was de-
cided that ! should go down, receive
the stuff and make arrangements
for its protection and for the recep-
ton Of future shipments. The Ger
man authorities were so excited
about my being there to head or
any trouble that they hustled me of
on an hours notice without any
lunch. ! contrived TO get Jacks
name put on the laisser-paSSer, so
that he could go along and see a
little something Of the country.
Jack was thrilled with the trip,
and nearly fell out Of the car going
through Louyain and the other
ruined villages along the way. As
we were in such a rush, ! could not
stop to show him very much; but
in most Of the places no guide Is
needed. Louvain has been cleared
up TO a remarkable extent and the
streets between the ruined houses
are neat and clean. On my other
trips / had to go around by way OF
Namur, but this time we went d.
rect, and got my first glimpse OF
Tirlemont and ST. Trond, etc.

Ger on horseback passed us, accom-
panied by q mounted orderly. To
cur surprise, the orderly drew his
revolver and began waving it at US,

he would shoot him down. The
officer paid no attention, but rode on

but they began TO trot and left me
IN the lurch. l ran back to the
motor, overlook them and placed
the car across their path. The Off
Ter motioned his orderly TO 90 ahead

the high ground that | had 10 rea-
son TO complain since the dog had
rot actually been shot, not seeming
y realize that peaceable civilians
might have legitimate objections to
the promiscuous waving of revol-
ycrs. He declined 10 give his name
or that Of the soldier and | gave up
and let him ride on, after expressing
some unhattering opinions Of him
and his kind, 10 the delight Of the
crowd that had gathered. They did
Tot dare say anything direct, but as

a loud "Iirc rAm6rique.' The Off
Ger looked peevish and rode away
