- - By Brand Whitlock = =

Malmeny, came into the legation and
told of the horrors that we're being
committed in uXembourg-villages
burned, peasants shot down, massa-
cres and unspeakable outrageS. A
troop of Belgian cavalry passed down
the rue de TreveS, weary, haggard
men, unkempt, with grimy faces, their
uniform gray with dust; a picture by
Detaille there in the old Quarter
Leopold.
And yet there was that strange phe-
nomeon, always to be observed in
times of crisis, the persistence with
which life goes on in it's normal and
usual sequences; for that morning
Nell and | went with Madame Carton
deWiart, the brilliant wife Of the min
lister of justice-who had not gone
with her husband to Antwerp but
stayed behind with her children, liv
ing on in the ministere in the rue de
la Loi, and devoting her life, as ever
to the poor-to see the soup kitchens
that are maintained by the school
system of Brussels for the children OF
the poor. We went to this old quar-
ter near the Quai aux bois Brules, the
little ones marching in while we were
there, bowling to us as they passed, to
seat themselves at the long low tables
to eat their soup and their petits
pains (rolls) in the infinite pathos
that attaches to childhood, especially
to the childhood of the poor. Two
little girls had been fighting as we en-
tered and the defeated one stood lean
ing against a wall, hiding her face in
her arms as she sobbed bitterly, her
companions, with the savage stoicism
of children, taking no notice of her
pain.
When I got back to the legation
found Villalobar there, very grave,
with news that the Germans were at
hand. He had no sooner gone than
Sir Francis Villiers came. formally to
turn over his legation. He wore the
British calm, this distinguished gen.
tleman. whose hair had grown white
in his kings service. He said little
but complained of the demenage-
ment.
"A most frightful bore!" he called
it.
There was little to do since his
archives were already in my posses
sion.
We discussed the last details, de-
Gliding that between us no process
verbal was necessary. He had made
all his arrangements for departure.
81 shall lunch quietly at half-past
H." he said, "and motor over to
Antwerp this afternoon.
There was no more to say. / dis
liked to see him go. We had been
good friends. When l was new at the
post Sir Francis showed me many
delicate attentions, rendering me
many kindly services. | had grown
to be fond of him, and of his whole
family. Sir Francis arose and held
out his hand:
81 trust that it is only au reyOir,
he said.
We shook hands warmly, bowed,
and he went away.

the campaign in charge. This was
done, and the name of the organiza-
Ftion was decided upon.
H. C. Hotaling of Mapleton gave a
short talk on the county option prop
osition, and prophesied that day is
coming about September 1, which
will be a very dry day in Blue Earth
county.
ANY man with loyalty in his, veins
must now get down to brass lacks,
and say that the saloon must 60,
stated Mr.. Hotaling. He then told
of tho conservation .plan, and re-
3fewedN how the country had suffer-
ed for coal. and it had been suggest
ed closing the schools. but that the
consumption of coal by liquor deal
eers had continued, nothing being
said about closing up the "booze
shops" He told how the "Huns'
had saloons in operation, reducing
the efficiency Asof the men of the
country, and said that the saloons
have got to get out of Blue Earth
county.
Then Robert tHaedt, a farmer
from the country adjacent to Man
kato, took the floor. He had con-
siderable to say about newspapers
that are not pronounced prohibition
organs, and especially attacked The
Mankato Free Press. He stated that
when an accident happened in dry
territory The Free Press would give
the account of the affair, and stated
that 1t happened in dry territory
Mr.. Haedt seemed to feel that no ref
| efence should be made to such &C
cidents having happened in dry
territory. In attacking The Free
Press he demanded "if The news
papers don't come to our side, what
are we going TO do?" One of the
| men in the crowd suggested paint
ing them yellow, which met with his
approval. Il think the daily papers
IN Mankato will see that they have
to come to our si6e," he said. 81
| Thev don't We will have to PAIN
them yellow" And the crowd broke
forth in applause.
George Pass and others also gave
snort temperance talks during the
afternoon. Following the election.
and business session the meetins
| adjourned. $50
1t is understood that during the
meeting several of the speakers sug.
gested that the ministers of the COS
rel were advised to take back seal
and not to make themselves promi

said also that other men in the move
