The True
Wan

By Elizabeth Schoen Cobb

Going going-gone The auc-
tioneer drawled out an announcement
of the disposition of the last article of
furniture in the house.
Back in the shadow of the yine-cov-
cred porch, all through the wretched
morning hours, Anita Berd0n had sat,
crouched back in a chair, her eyes
fixed on vacancy, her face a blank of
dull, sodden hopelessness and despair.
"Gone!" The word struck on her
senses like Ieaden mallet. Gone
Father, friends, home. Coming-com-
ing had been the cares, the sorrows
that had bulked up with menace, crush
ing force and disaster. Going-going
had been all that was left of the ma
terial possessions of the little home.
Gone-the climax had come!
Ever and anon one of the auction
GERS men had brought to the porch
and deposited there several articles.
There was her own sewing chair, an
escritoire, dainty clock. Anita won

with the law firm that put the exeeu-

Through the screen of vines Anita
had noticed this man. She was neither
attracted by him nor interested in him.
He was ten years her senior, a serious
faced man, self-restrained in his man
ner and methodical in his ways. She
noticed him now, coming towards the
porch, and drew back distantly as he
assembled the steps and stood before
her, lifting his hat cOurteOusly.

said, indicating the articles that had

Il n there fell one day 400 years
ago the mellow din of bells.
In gay and golden peal the, carlton
of Notre Dame sang to the town until
every eye turned toward the belfry
and every foot FASTENED to the cathe-
dral door.
Over the threshold paced a process
sion rich with the color and stiff with
the pOmp of the middle ages. AS the
company went up the nave, where vel
vets and jewels caught added radiance
from the crimson and amber of stained
windows, the bells beat upon the air
again with louder triumph before
they at last fell silent.
There was good cause for the lusty
strokes which the carlton ringers
tugged at their ropes on that pleasant
day in 1907. For the new bell, the
Big Bell, had come safe from the cast
ing furnace; the bishop in his robes
was there to .consecrate it, and the
king himself was standing as it's spon-
SOr.
When the final reverent word had
been spoken that dedicated the bell
at the service Of God and Antwerp,
Charles struck from the bronze sides
one loud tone. The noise rose clear
and deep through the hush of the
cathedral. 1t fioated among the dim
rafters as a voice that promised bless
ings and it hummed into oblivion with
cir ahnl hof
might well have been a presage of it's
doom.
Big Bell Into a Furnace.
For doomsday has dawned upon the
big bell of Notre Dame and upon the
bells of all the other steeples in Elan
ders-the Germans need metal. They
have taken the doorplates and piano
ornaments from the homes of Brus-
from the Avenue Louise. They have
taken the chimes from Isegnem and
Roulers, from Bruges and a dozen
villages.
The bells are being made into guns.
When next day they speak 1t will be
in roar that means ruin to the very
fields over whose harvests they so long
have rung the curfew and the angelus.
The bells have always meant much
to Flanders. A wealthy lowland beset
by greedy neighbors, the little kingdom
has countless times been warned Of
marching enemies by the clamOr from
a steeple. In days of peace the Flem-
ish developed their chimes into the
lively lit of the carillons which made
their guilds CT ringers noted through
out Europe. To hold the carillOns
they built some of the noblest towers
the world has seen, and when the
towers were built the cities We'd with
each other in filling them with noble
bells. There were forty bronze voices
In the tower of Bruges cathedral and
the same number at Louvain. There
were forty-four at Malines and almost
a hundred In Antwerp's Notre Dame.
Bells Reused the Towns,
Every one of these had its Daptismal
name, as well as a popular nickname.
''That's 'Doucement,' the villagers
would say as high Zone trembled
on the air at evensong. Or, in the
dawn, ala Pucelle' is calling TO mat
ms" Or as an alarm crashed forth
some anxious night, The Thunderer 7
Here comes the enemy"
Usually the alarm bell, which was
as a matter of course the largest in
the church, belonged not to the ca
thedra, but to the town. 1t was
owned by the municipality because the
tocsin proved vital in primitive times
to the towns existence. No fewer
than three bells in Notre Dame were
the property CT Antwerp itself. The

FOCH AMENDS TERMS
Allied Troops will Rule Occupied
Rhine Lands.
Modified Demands Require Surrender
of 10000, Instead of $4,000
Railroad Cars.

Washington.-The state department
announces that changes in the Ger
man armistice terms, made after Mar
shall Foch's first conference with the
Hun pIc,Iipotentiaries, increased the
original demands of the United States
and the allies. It's announcement of
these amendments show that Germany

tied authority for alteration given the
supreme commander in dealing with
The enemy ENJOYS.
The state department received and
made public the amended articles, with
the explanation that no information
had come as TO how the changes were
brought about. apparently most OF
them were conceded in response to ap-
peals of the German spokesmen,
though several besides that touching
submarines make the terms more dras-
tic than before.
Provision is made for considering
food needs in Germany in the taking
of means of transportation, and a spe-
cifc reference to the regulation of re-
patriation of German prisoners of war
at the conclusion Of peace is added.
In response TO the German fear OF

count the internal situation of these
territories shall decide that the time
for this has come" Territories which
