Counters Another
Effort to Put Him Of

Back we went TO the Hotel de
Vile. Our friend, the aide-de-campi
had disappeared, but we got hold o.
another and asked him to inform
himself. He went away and we spent
a few minutes watching the Genera
blow up everybody in sight; when
the aide-de-camp came back he smil-
inglv announced that there was no
way Of getting the messages out on
the wire; mat the best thing we
could DO would be TO send a courier
to Holland and telegraph from
there.
| told him to 90 back and get an
other answer. When he came back
next time, he had the glad news that
the Office had really been established
in the post Office and that orders
had been sent over there to have
our cables received and sent at once.
Away we went again. only TO find
that the latest bulletin was just as
good as the others; the post office
was closed up just as tight as tho
other office, and the sentries turned
US away with a weary explanation
that there was not a living soul ir-
side, as though they had explained /.
a thousand times since they had been
on duty.
By this time the wild-goose chase
was getting little bit monotonous,
and when we got back TO the head
quarters, announced with some
emphasis 10 the first aide-de-camp
that I could reach, that l did not
care to do any more Of it; that l
wanted him TO get me the right in
formation, and do it right away, so
that I should not have TO go back to
my chief and report any more futile
errands.
He went away in some trepidation

Proclamation
Brussels. August

Brussels, August 20, 1914.
German troops will pass through
Brussels to-day and the following
days. and will be obliged b. circum-
stances 20 cali upon the city for lodg-
ing, food ard supplies. All these re-
quirements will be settled for regu-
larly through communal authorities.
I expect the population 20 meet
these necessities Of war without re-
slstance, and especially that there
shall be no aggression against our
troops, and that the supplies required
shall be promptly furnished
In this case | give every guarhn-
tee for the preservation o. the city
and the safety OF It's inhabitants.
II, however, as has unfortunately
happened in other places, there are
attacks upon our troops, firing upon
our soldiers, fires or explosions OF
any sort, I shall be obliged 20 take
the severest measures.
The General Commanding the Army
Corps. SKI Won ANNiA.
The strongest thing so far was the
series of demands made upon the city
and Province. The city Of Brussels
has been given three days TO hand
over 100000 francs in coin or
bills. The Germans also demand a
tremendous supply Of food to be fur
nished during the next three days.
Il the city fails TO deliver any part
of it, it must pay in coin at rate
equal TO twice the market value Of
the supplies.
The Province Of Brabant must
hand over, by the first Of next
month, 450 million of FRANCISCO
million dollars. When you consider
that the total war indemnity i'm
posed by Germany upon France IN
1870 was only five milliards, the
enormity Of this appears. Upon one
little province Of a tiny country they
are imposing a tax equal to one
tenth that imposed en- the whole Of
France. How on earth they age
ever TO arrange TO pay it, ! cannot
POSSIBLY see. / do not know wha.
Is to happen if they fail to make
good, but | have no doubt that j.
will be something pretty dreadful
This afternoon the Germans went
INTO the Ministry Of War and the
Foreign Office and searched through
the archives. Il must have been an
entirely futile proceeding, for al
papers Of any interest were removed
TO Antwerp when the Government
left. The higher officials who were
still here were kept in the building
to witness the sesrch--a needles.

we have heard nothing OF it and ex-

Burgomaster Stays
To Help Conqueror

When I got back to the Legation,
! found that the Minister had gone
With Villalobar TO call on the Burgo-
master and the German General.
They found the old gentleman in
command at the City Hall, carrying
On the government through the
Rurgomaster, who has settled down
with resignation to his task. He is
tremendously down in the mouth at
having to give up his beautiful
Grande Place TO a foreign conqueror.
but he has the good sense to see
that ne can do more good for HE
country by staying there and trying
70 maintain order than by getting
out with beau gests.
The first thing the General did
was to excuse himself and 90 to
take a bath and get shave, where
upon he reappeared and announced
his readiness to proceed TO the dis
cussion of business.
The General said that he had no
intention Of occupying the town per-
manently or Of quartering soldiers,
or otherwise bothering the inhabi-
tants. He was sent there TO keep
open a way SO that troops could be
poured through toward the French
frontier. They expect TO be several
days marching troops through, and
during that time they will remain in
nominal control Of the city. Judg-
ing from this, there must be a huge
army Of them coming. We shall,
perhaps, see some of them after the
big engagement, which is bound to
take place soon, as they get little
nearer the French frontier.

Cursed Well in

The crowd Of frightened people
who came to the Hotel de Vile for
il;sser-ycssers and other papers, all
found their way straight to his Of
fee; no one was on hand to sort
them out and distribute them among
the various bureaus Of the civil adj
ministration. Even the staff off,

chief ard head off the crowd. They
would come right up 10 him at his
table and shove a piece diGertite IN

were equally effective in any Ian
guage that he tried. Just as with

out Of the question, and then in

that they got.
a man would come up to the Cen
eral and say that he wanted TO get
a pass TO 60 TO Namur. The Gen

was quite impossible, that German
troops were operating over all that
territory and that no one could be

ably availed Of the opportunity OF

brought 1t back, saying that the
telegraph Office was closed and that
he could find no one to whom he
could hand his bundle of messages.
Evidently the orders for the re-
Opening of the place did not get
around in time for our purposes.
We shall try again the first thing in
the morning, and hope that some Of
the newspaper men VIII have sue
ceeded in getting their stuff out in
some other way. They were around
in force just after dinner and wild
to get an o. K. on their stuff, so
that it could be sent. The General
had said that he wanted the Min
ister's O. X. on the men themselves,
and that he himself would approve
their messages after having them
carefully read 70 him. He gave
them an interview on alleged Ger
man atrocities and will probably let
them send through their stories if
they play that up properly.
After dinner I started out on my
usual expedition in search of news.
I found the Foreign Office closed,
and learned upon inquiry that the
few remaining men who had not
gone to Antwerp were at home and
would not be around again for the
present-thus we have no dealings
through the Foreign Office, but
must do the best we can with the
military authorities. | went down
10 the Palace Hotel on the chance
Of picking up 4 little news, but did
not have much luck. The restau-
rant was hall filed with German
officers, who were dining with
great gusto. The Belgia$s in the
cafe were gathered just as FAR away
as possible, and it was noticeable
that instead of the usual row OF
conversation, there was a heavy
silence brooding over the whole
place.
August q, 1914.-So far as we
can learn we are still as completely
cut off from the outside world as
we were yesterday. The General
promised the Minister that there
would be no difficulty in sending
his kilograms, either clear or in
cipher, but when we came 70 send
ing them off, It was quite another
story.

Burgomaster Declines
To Shake Germans Hand

Brussels has not been occupied by
a foreign army since Napcleon's
time, and that was before it was the
capital Of a free country. IL has
been forty-four years since the CAPT
tai of a European power has had
hostile troops marching in triumph
through its streets, and the humilia-
ton has been terrible. The Bel
gians have always had tremendous
city patriotism and have taken more
pride in their municipal achieve
ments than any people on earth, and
Il must hurt them more than it could
possibly hurt any other people.
The Burgomaster, when he went
out 10 meet General Won Jarotzky,
declined 10 take his hand. He cour-
teously explained that there was no
personal afront intended, but that,
under the circumstances, he could
hardly bring himself TO offer even
such a purely perfunctory NANTES
tation Of friendship.
The old General, who must be a
good deal Of man, replied quietly
that he entirely understood, and that
under similar circumstances ne
,vo,,d nrobably do the same.
The two men are on exceedingly
workable terms, but I don't believe
they will exchange photographs al
ter the war is over.
Poor Max was going 10 spend the
night at the Hotel de Vile. Most OF
his assistants cleared out for the
night, but he could not bring himself
20 leave the beautiful old building
entirely In control Of the enemy. He
curled up and slept on the couch in
his Office, just for the feeling 1t gave
him that he was maintaining some
art Of hold on the old place.

very pleasing interview, making an
extended statement about the alleged
German atrocities. Could they send
their messages through TO their pa
pers? Certainly! OF course the Gen
eral would have TO read the stories
and approve the subject matter.
Naturally! The boys sat down in
great enthusiasm and wrote out their
stories, giving full credit TO the Ger
man army for the orderly way they
got in, the excellence Of their APP
pearance and behavior, and the calm
that prevailed in the city. They took
these messages back and let the old
chan read them.

We could see. The entry was ef-
fected quietly, and perfect order
has prevailed ever since.
Afterward we drove out to the
country and watched the steady
ctream nearer its source; still pour
ing in. company after company, regi-
ment after regiment, with apparent
II no end in sight. We watched
until after 7 o'clock, and decided
that the rest would have to get in
without our assistance. On the way
rack German monoplane flew over
rGe city, and, turning near the Hotel
de Vile, dropped something that
spit fire and sparks. Everybody in
the neighborhood let out a yell ana
rushed for cover in the firm belief
that it was another bomb such as
was dropped in Namur. 1t dropped,
splitting fire until fairly near the
spire Of the Hotel de Vile, when
il burst into ten or a dozen lights
like a Roman candle-evidently a
signal to the troops still outside the
city-perhaps to tell them that the
occupation had been peacefully &C
complished. We learned afterward
that the Minister and Villalobar
were riding down the hill and tire
internal machine seemed right over
their car, giving them a nice start
for a moment.

Order Gives Way
To Confusion

The marvellous order and system
which so compelled our admiration
yesterday were not in evidence.
There were a lot Of sentries at the
door and they took care TO jab a
bayonet into you and tell you that
you could not enter; but any sort Of
reply seemed to satisfy them, and
you were allow& to go right up to
the landing, where the General had
established himself in state at a
couple Of huge tables. Here con-
fusion reigned' supreme. There
were staff officers in abundance, but
none of them seemed to have the
