the machines landed on the aviation
field at the edge of the city, and the
aviator was nearly torn TO shreds by
admirers who wanted to shake him
by the hand and convince him that
he was really welcome TO Brussels.
1t is said that some of these fellows
are going to lie in wait for the Yep
pelins which have been sailing over
Brussels by night 20 terrify the pop
ulation. We hear that one of the
Belgian army aviators did attack a
Zeppelin and put it out of business,
bringing TO earth and killing all the
crew. He himself went to certain
death in the attempt.
The afternoon papers say that in
Paris the name Of the Rue de Berlin
has been changed to Rue de Liege.
Here the Rue d'Allemagne has been
changed to Rue de Liege and the
Rue de Prusse to Rue du General
Leman, the defender of Liege. The
time abounds in beaur gestes, and
they certainly have their effect on
the situation.
Kitchener says that the war may
last for some time. At first il
seemed to be taken for granted thai
it could not last long, as the fnan

Germany's Ruthlessnesi

one prominent Austrian who does not

there are any number Of branch of

busy. The society has been quite
overcome by the way people have
come forward with gifts, and they
have been almost unable to get
enough people together to handle
them as they come in. The wounded
are being brought in in great num-

filled with them. In nearly every

Judging from the stories printed
in 1.-THE London Times" which ar

playing up the capture Of Liege.
The Germans evidently were led to
believe they had gained a great VIC
tory: whereas the forts, which are
the only object Of the campaign, are
still intact. The city itself is unde-
Tended, and there Is no great mill
tary reason why the Belgians should

it was able to quickly correct this con-
dition.
Mrs. PendergTast SAYS Dr.. Caldwell :
Syrup 2epsin has saved them from call
ing the doctor many times, and that she
will never be without a bottle Of it in
the house to use when needed. She
found it equally effective as laxative
for herself and other members OF the
family.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin Is a COM
bination OF simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild in
action and positive in effect. 1t does
not gripe or Strain. and contains no OPT
ate or narcotic drug. It is the ideal
