Bright Eton BOYS,

The schoOlbOy "howler'' is quite COM
monty amusing, but its very frequen-
cy is apt to make it something of a
bore. 1t is doubtful, however, if a
more representative collection of the
genus has ever been got together than
that recently given to the public. out

provost of Elton. First there was the

but by another man of the same name.
Then there was a dissertation on beads
in the terms that, "A bede is a very
old man known as venerable bede.
and sometimes called Adam Bede"
Bpt the gem Of the whole collection
was undoubtedly the definition Of

searchlights at their disposal on them,
hunting the armament for the flying
foe. The whirling of the propellers
of the airships stopped suddenly. In
stead, high in the air brilliant light
appeared, the searchlight of the Yep
pelin, which, for a moment. illuminat-
ed the entire landscape.
Suddenly all became dark again. A
few moments later powerful detona-
tons revealed the fact that the Yep
pelin had thrown off ballast" That
went on long while. Explosion fol-
lowed explosion. These were followed
by clouds of fire. In the air, exploding
shrapnel which the Belgian artillery
fired at the airships could be observed.
The whirling of the propellers started
up again, directly above our heads. 1t
became quieter and quieter, until the
powerful ships of the air disappeared
from our vicinity.
Thus the forts were leveled. Thou
sands of Belgians lay behind the walls
and under the Notifications, dead and
buried. A general storming attack
followed. Liege was in the hands of
the Germans, who had paid, in dead
alone in this battle, $4,000 men.

ble.. He released my comrade and ran
away with an insane cry Of pain.
Everything developed by seconds.
The blood of the Belgian ran out of
my friends mouth; terrible nausea
and understandable loathing seized him.
The taste of warm human blood
brought him almost to the verge of in
sanity. In the course Of this night
battle came in contact for the first
time with the butt of a Belgian gun.
During q hand-to-hand fight with
Belgian, second enemy soldier
struck me on the back of the head
with the butt Of his gun so hard that
my helmet was forced down over my
ears. The pain was fearful and l
tainted.
When I revived, was lying in a
barn, with my head bandaged, among
other wounded men. My wound was
not severe. / only had feeling as If
my head was twice its normal size.
The other wounded soldiers and the
ambulance men said the Belgians had
been forced back within the forts and
that hard fighting was still in prog
reSs.
Wounded men were brought in con-
tinuOusly and they told US that the
Germans had already stormed several
forts and had taken a number Of main
and auxiliary defenses, but could not
hold them because they had not been
sufficiently supported by artillery. The
defepses inside the forts and their gar
risOns were still intact. The situation
was not ripe for storming attack, so
the Germans had to retire with enor-

nous losses. The reports we received
were contradictory. It was impossible
to get a clear picture. In the mean
time the artillery bombardment had
become so intense that it Mortified
even the German soldiers. The heavi-
est artillery was brought into action
against the steel and concrete de-
lenses.
No soldier so far knew anything of
the existence of the 42-centimeter NOR
tars. Long after Liege was in Ger
man hands these soldiers could not
understand how it was possible that
the defenSes, which consisted of dOu-
BILE six-meter walls Of steel and con-
crete, were reduced after only a few
hours bombardment.
myself could not take part in these
operations, being wounded, but my
comrades told me later how the cap
ture of the several forts came about.
Artillery of all caliber was trained on
the forts, but it was the 21-centimeter
mOrtars and the AS which performed
the real work.
From a distance the 42-centimeter
prOjectiles were heard to arrive, to the
accompaniment of a fearful kissing
that sounded like a long drawn-out
screech which filled the whole at
mosphere. Wherever it fell, every
thing was destroyed within a radius
Of several hundred meters. The air
pressure which the bursting of the pro-
jectile produced was so terrible that it
made breathing difficult for those of
us who were holding the advanced po-
sitions.
To make this witches holiday COM
plete, the Zeppelins appeared during
the night to participate in the work of
destruction. The soldiers suddenly
heard above their heads the whirling
of propellers and the noise of the mo-
tors. The Zeppelins came nearer.

bULGAR|ANS ARE
ORDERED RELEASED
MEN CHARGED WITH DISLOY-
Atty BUY LIBERTY BONDS
AND PAY EXPENSES

Judge H. R. Smith, United States
commissioner for Latah County, re-
leased George Bell and Thomas Nico-
loft, two Bulgarians arrested at camp
4, of the Potlatch Lumber Company
near Bovill, several days ago for dis
loyalty, after hearing today. A
warrant had been issued for the men
who refused to buy Liberty bonds,
after it had been charged they had
said they had to send money to help
their own country.
George Belchoff, night clerk of the
International Hotel, Spokane, acted
as interpreter for the men. He is a
Bulgarian but has taken out his first
papers and is in class I and says he
is ready and willing to go>to the front
when called.
The evidence brought out shows
that the men were good, law abiding
men, were good workers and had
never been in trouble. Nicoloff has
a wife and children in Bulgaria and
Bell has aged parents there and it
was shown the money sent had been
for the support of these relatives and
not to help the government.
Judge Smith, after reviewing all
the evidence, decided that the men are
not criminal, that they had been mis-
understood and that if they would
show some act of loyalty to this gov
eminent they would be released. Each
agreed to buy Liberty bond for $50
and pay half cash and they paid the
expense of bringing them to Moscow,
to SIS. They were re-
leased and went to Spokane with their
