the children he has-and that he
was prepared to give every one of
them, and his own life and fortune,
into the bargain, but that he was
not prepared-and here he banged
his fist down on the table and his
eyes fiashed--to admit for a minute
the possibility Of yielding to Ger
many. Everybody else is in the
same state of mind. 1t Is not hys-
terical. The war has been going on
long enough, and they have had so
many hard blows that the glamour
and the fictitious attractiveness Of
the thing has gone, and they have
settled down in deadly earnest to
fight to the bitter end. There may
not be one stone left upon another
in Belgium when the Germans get
through, but II these people keep
UP to their present level they will
come through-what there is left Of
them-free.

me for half an hour.
Bv the time that ! got through
with him there was word that the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs wanted
to see me, so made bee-line over
there. Then there was another call
70 the Consulate to answer some
more telegrams After attending
TO various matters at the Palace
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the
Consulate General, and seeing few
more people at the hotel, the morn
ing was gone and it was time for
luncheon and a quick getaway.
All hands came out and bade us
farewell. You would have thought
we were on our way to heaven, eX-
cept for the fact that they urged US
20 come back.
AS we could hear the cannonading'
we decided that we would avoid the
Nalines road and would try to skirt
around the zone of trouble and work
our way into Brussels from the west

News of Mons
Makes Things Dismal

During the evening bad news
came in from France, and every.
body was down in the mouth. The
French Minister came in and told
me what he had received. Every
body was plainly worried, and al
together things looked pretty dis
NAL We sat around q little while
and then decided for a good nights
sleep.
To make sure Of offering no un-
necessary chances for Mr.. Zeppelin,
the authorities had ordered all the
lights on, the streets put out at
o'clock. 1t was dark as midnight,
and there was no use in thinking Of
venturing out into the town. The
Cathedral clock was stopped and
the carlton turned off for the first
time in heaven only knows how
many years. 1t was a city of the
dead. Guns were posted in the
streets ready for instant use in case
the airship should put in another
appearance. As a result Of this
and the searchlights that played
upon the sky all night, our friend
the enemy did not appear. Some
people know when they have had
enough.
Yesterday morning I looked out
Of my window at the Cathedral
clock, and saw that it was 9:35.

downstairs to get through my morn

Running Through
Mined Villages

We got ferried across the Scheidt
ON a terrible tub of steamer tnat
looked al though she would go down
under the weight of the military au-
tomobiles that she had to get across
IT, order to take ammunition TO the
front. We all got away in bunch
from the other side, but we drew
ahead of them. as we had not such a
heavy load; and within three-quar-
ters of an hour we were outside the
Belgian lines. Van der Elst had Sc
cured for us most imposing td'sser-
rasser, which took US through with
rractically no trouble except that IT
was so impressive that we were held

Belgian outposts was working our
way through the villages which had

I owns in flames

On the road in from Assche we
PASSED near Eppeghem and ,Nilvorde,
where the fighting had been going on
for a couple Of days. After news
! ad been received in Antwerp of the
defeat of the French and English at
Mons and Charleroi the Belgians
we're ordered to fall back on Antwerp
and had left these little villages TO be
occupied by the Germans. AS they
occupied them they had set them
afre and the flames were raging as
we came by. They were quaint little
towns, and had excited our admira-
tion two days before when we had
gone through-despite the fact that
We had other things on our minds
besides admiring the beauties of ar
chitecture. Now they are gone.
The Germans gave us no trouble,
and we got back to the legation by q
little before 5 o'clock. Every one
poured out to meet us, and greeted
US as prodigal sons. When we had
not come back the day before they
had about made up their minds that
something dreadful had happened to
rs, and the rejoicing over our return
was consequently much greater than
II we had not whetted their imagina-
tions just a little.

Later in the afternoon ! went to
the Foreign Office and let them
read TO me the records Of the COM
mission which is investigating the
alleged German atrocities. They
are working in a calm and sane way
and seem 10 be making the most
earnest attempt to get at the true
facts, no matter whether they prove
or disprove the charges that have
been made. II is wonderful to see
the judicial way they can sit down
in the midst Of war and carnage and
try to make q fair inquiry on mat
ter OF. this sort. II one one-thou-
sandth part Of the charges are
proven TO be true
