Won der Goltz Invites
Himself to Tea

After lunch l went back to the
siege and stayed until my friend, the
colonel, left by the fire escape or
some equally desperate way so as to
avoid seeing me.
Won der Goltz had sent word to
the Minister that he was coming
here for tea this afternoon and
wanted to meet the Spanish Minis
ter. That was our opportunity, and
the Minister was all primed with
what he was to say to the old chap.
They beat US to it, however.
The problem had evidently been
decided since | saw Won der Lancken
in the morning, for he greeted me
with the news that the laisser-
passer would be around in the course
of the evening. He added that the
general was anxious to send one OF
the Belgian Ministers Of State to
Antwerp, and would appreciate 1t If
l would take him with me. He is
Count de Woeste, the man who has
always fought against having an
army, on the ground that Belgium
was so fully guaranteed by her trea-
ties that it was unnecessary. Baron
Won der Lancken says that they will
make out a laisser-passer on which
he will be included, and that the mil
itary authorities will mark out the
route by which we had best 90 so
as to avoid running into trouble. !

Backing Patience
Against Diplomacy

This morning I was ready to start
for Antwerp. Ny laisser-pGsser had
been promised for 10 o'clock. When
il did not come by that hour, ] went
I'D to see Baron Won der Lancken,
who had agreed to attend to the
matter. He received me most gra-
ciously, told me how delighted he
was to see me, how it pleased him
10 see that we came to him with our
little troubles, etc. He kept off the
subject of the ioisser-pdsSer as long
as he could, but when he could stave
it off no longer he said that he must
ask me to see Won Herwarth, who
had been placed in charge Of all
matters regarding passports, etc.
l made a blue streak over to Her
warth's office and saw him after
little delay. He kept me as long as
he could, and told me all that he
knew about the war and perhaps
great deal more. When we got
down to the subject Of my visit ne
said that Won der Lancken was mis-
taken, that passports could be
granted only by Colonel Won Claer,
who had his Office about a block
away. began to smell rat about
this time, but, kept plugging away. !

chants Dangers of Jeal-
ousy Among Allies

Japan's hearty Endorsement OF the
unity of action and control" plan Of
prosecuting the war. along with the as
sertion that the Ally Of the Far East
is actively participating in the plan.
was announced last night at the annual
dinner OF the Fifth Avenue Associa-
ton by Dr. 7. Iyenaga, director of the
semi-official East and West Bureau.
THE idea has happily become our
common property since Lloyd George,
with his characteristic vigor. aroused
the public opinion and President Will
son strongly backed the plan" said Dr.,
Iyenaga. "All fronts. the West, South,
North, East and the sea, have now
merged into one common front. In this
vast circle of military operations.
which is gradually encircling the en-
envy, to his final discontinue, II is now
recognized that no undue Importance
should be laid to any specific sector TO
the neglect Of others, for If one sector
Of the circle is pierced BY the enemy
the whole structure Of the strategy
built up by the Allies is in danger o,
falling 10 pieces.
"Such an undue emphasis is, further
more, bound 70 create suspicion, jeal-
ousy and i'll feeling among the Allies
which have already proved to be far
more effective weapons of offence and
defence than cannon and shell in the
hands Of our resourceful foe, and
caused the tragedy Of Russia and Italy
and other disasters that have befallen
our cause"
The japanese representative also ex-
planned that the reason why his coun-
try did not have an eXpeditionary force
on European battlefelds was not be-
cause Of a lukewarm enthusiasm for
the cause, but because the Allies never
had asked for such aid, because of the
lack of ships 20 transport such force
Of men, and because Japan had its own
function 10 perform in the Far East as
& guardian OF the Allied interests and
a preserver Of the peace.
One OF the surprises OF the OCCASION
which took the form Of war dinner
at the Waldorf-Astoria, was the an
nouncement Of a plan which has been
worked out by the executive committee
of the Fifth Avenue Association, under
which skilled workers employed by
firms on Fifth Avenue will contribute
& certain part of their evenings leis-
ure each week to Red Cross work.
The plan. as outlined by DR.. Robert
Davis, would give the Red Cross
the services of a small army of ex-
periencod workers in the various trades
for war work, along with the loft build
ings and the paraphernalia with which

Imprisoned for
Not Revealing Wine

Count and Countess de y. had an
interesting story to tell of their ex-
periences when the first armies went
through. When the war broke out
they were at their chateau and were
caught by the first onrush of troops.
Their fine cellars were emptied for
the benefit of the invader, but moth
ing more serious happened TO them
until the second wave came along,
Then there was a demand for more
wine. AS all the wine had been car
ried away they could not comply.
The Germans were convinced that
they were being fooled and searched
the place very carefully.
Finally, they imprisoned the ks
for three days in the cellar and then
brought them forth and stood them
I'D before a firing squad and threat
ened TO shoot them unless they told
where the wine was hidden. At the
critical moment a big gray military
car rolled up, and to their considera-
bic relief they saw that one Of the
occupants was a German princeling'
who had formerly been their guest
on several occasions. They called
out to him, and by his orders were
Immediately released. After ex-
pressing their thanks TO him, they
went into the chateau to find that
soldiers were engaged in packing up
their fine collections Of enamels and
porcelains TO ship them to Germany.
Another appeal to the Prince, who
was most sympathetic. He was a
practical and resourceful man, and
said:

miration. The wives Of the Cabinet
Ministers and other officials have
shown wonderful nerve and are
standing right up to their duty.

Labels Betrayed
Willy Vintner
The way the German army cleaned
out the wine of the country was q
revelation to everybody. They would
not take what they needed for the
days drinking, but would clear out
whole cellars at a time and load
what was not drunk on to carts to
be carried away. The result was
that people who had little warn
ing had recourse TO all sorts of in
genious tricks to save some of their
store. There was one bright man
in the province Of Namur who re-
moved his stock of wine-all except
a few thousand bottles Of new wine
and deposited them in the orna-
mental pond near his chateau. The
Germans arrived few hours after
ward and raised a great fog be-
cause they were not satisfied with
the amount Of wine they found.
The owner of the chateau had dis
creetly slipped away to Brussels land
they could not do anything to him.
However, they tapped all the walls
for secret hiding places and went
over the park to see if anything had
been buried-all in vain. The next
morning, however, the pond was
covered with labels which had soaked
off and foated to the surface, and
after draining the pond the whole
stock was carted away.
Madame B., VINO was there, has
an interesting souvenir which she
proposes to keep if possible. Dur
ing the first days of the war her
chateau was occupied by lot Of
officers, who got gloriously drunk
and smashed up pretty we'll every
thing in the drawing room and din
ing room. One Of them, with a fine
sense of humor, took piece Of hard
chalk and wrote on the top Of her
piano in large letters: Deutschland
Iber allies! The crowd left the place
in the morning without trying to
cover their traces, and Madame
B. came in to put things to
rights. The first thing she did was
to get large piece Of plate glass to
cover the top Of the piano so that
the legend would not be effaced,
and over that she placed an ordi-
nary piano cover so that no future
visitor would be inclined to erase the
inscription. Whe che war is over
this will be an interesting reminder
Of her visitors.

OF four brothers who went out to the

ing the channel, of the hardships of the
journey across France in box cars, with
