In large ilpptve for the destruction of

of the Belgian lied Cross when the Oi r

later made n inemlier of the Ited CVtps.
Mr. Welnholt arrled here on the llot

forced to serve with the ilcrmnn Hwl
Cross," said Mr. Welnholt, "nnd wl'h

There was a. little leslstanco on the Wll

In the majority, the defenders fell back

tho frontier. The Herman tactics were
wonderful. First tho Infantry attacked
nnd then came a volley from the nrtll!er
I saw the Germans tire their "0-ton "leg"
gun. Tho concussion was terrific. One
of tho shells had dug a hole 30 feet
deep."
Henry Tletre, superintendent of parks
In Tonkers, N" Y , brought back an ac
count of harrowing experiences.
"I was at Saarlols. in I.,orrnlnc, when
the battle of I.orr.ilne was fought," said
Sir. Tletze. "For four days the hattle
raged around that little city. Once 1 saw
French aeroplane drop like n plummet
from the sky after the pilot had been
killed by German bullets. It wns a fas
cinating sight.
Several times I saw the French Infan
try on the heights melt Into a mass of
dead men under the deadly fire of the
German artillery. I witnessed a battle
between the German and the Turcos In
the French army The sight of the Afri
cans drove the Germans mad and. disre
garding all Instructions from their offi
cers, they dashed In among the black
troops and cut them to bits with their
bayonets."
Llfton L. Lewis, a New York lawyer,
nald tho head of the German General
Staff had told him that the Kaiser al
most had to be forced Into the war by
the staff. The Kaiser would not believe
war was necessary and fought against
declaring it.
"The General StnfT went to the Kaiser,"
said Mr. Lewis, "and told him unless he
declared war they would not be responsi
ble for the consequences, as the Russians
wero mobilizing, and that some of the
Cossacks already were over the frontier.
The Kaiser, according to my information,
asked for an hour to think matters over,
as he was loath to plunge Europe Into
war. The Kaiser shut himself up nnd
when the staff eaw him again he still
was averse to declaring war. He did
'.. flVn'y when the staff forced upon him
tho knowledge that Hussla leally was
making warlike demonstrations."
Professor Morris Jnstrow, of thp Uni
versity or l'ennsylvania. said that the
German Emperor was entirely misunder
stood in this country, and that It would
fall to America to mediate tho war. In
Germany, he stated. ther. is not the
popularly supposed bravado, but every
one understands the seriousness of th"
situation.

STORIES OF ADVENTURE
FROM TEE SCENE OF THE WAR
This story is told of live American wat
correspondents In Belgium:
On the day the correspondents heard
the Hermans were approaching five Amer
ican reporters hired a tnxlenb. at a fabu
lous lental, and went out to neet the
Germans. They drew tip alongside the
road nnd prepared to watch tho proces
sion as if it were a circus coming to
tewn. Of course, the general leading the
troops noticed them, ordered them arrest
ed nnd brought to him.
" ho are you?" he f-.skei In broken
English, probably thinking they wore his
enemies the English.
"We're five American reporters." came
the reply. "What's that? C'orresponi?
ents?" "Yes," answered a large, plump writer,
who happened to bo Trvln S. Cobb.
"Don't you know there nro no cones
pondents with tho Ucrman nrmy?"
thundered tho general.
"Beg pardon, general, ' said Cohb, with
his funniest smile, "you've got live with
you now."
"I'll order you all 3hot," (mapped the
Herman commander, who probably felt
himself weakening at tho sight of the
reporter's Jolly smile. Then he spent 20
minutes looking at their American pass
ports. "I can stand Mug shot, Oencr.il, ' -aid
Cobb, finally. "I can stind the firing
squad and the stone wall and the disgrace
to my family, but I can't s'.md the tick
ing of that taxlcab meter over there "
The General laughed, nv.'ry member of
his staff who could undornanl English
lauglud, and the tnxlcab bearing the live
American reporters Joined the procession
Into Brussels.
Madame Elolse Mnchorez, of Solssons,
was giccted ns a heroine when she arrived
In I'arlsc today.
When the Germans nppronched Sols
sons all the officials fled. Madame
Maeherez remained. As the Germans en
tered the city Madame Maeherez, fearing
pillaging might bo done, bought out the
German commander,
"You may consider me Mayor of this
cltv," Fho said. "I do not want any
plllnging done, if you wnnt anything nsk
for It."
The Germans thereafter officially recog
nized het as Mayor.
A wounded Belgian Boldler at Ostcnd
Is extremely proud of the fact that ho
slept In the nspaiagus beds about Mech
lin Tor two days he slept In tho fields
after being wounded. "Mechlin Uaa the
best asparagus beds In the world and I
slept on It," he BHld proudly.
When the commander of the German
cruiser Magdeburg, destroyed by Rus
sian warships In the Baltic, reached
PPtrograd a prisoner. It Is said he re
i fused to give his name, declaring "I am
unworthy of wearing n uniform I have
sinned against the Fatherland."
WILL TRANSFER PUPILS
IN CONGESTED SCHOOLS
Dr. Jacobs Blames Shifting Popula
tion For Sudden Crowding-.
Dr William C. Jacobs, acting supeiin
tendent of public schoolB. today an
nounced that the Board of Education will
attempt to relieve the congestion In the
elementary schools of the city by trans
ferring the grammar pupils in about ten
schools to buildings where tho congestion
Is not so great, rather than keep these
children In congestfd schools which are
nejrest to their homes. In that way, Ir
Jacobs said. It Is hoped that the situation
in tho elementary schools will be relieved
It was also announced that the new
school under construction at 47th and Lo
cust streets will be ready for occupancy
by October 1. This will greatly relieve
conditions In the congested part of West
Philadelphia.
Dr Jacobs explained the congestion In
most sections as the rcsut of tho frquent
change of address on the, part of niRn
pupils Because of this, he said, new
school populations grow up over night
In places where the Board of Education
has no time to relieve the situutlon imme
diately by building new schools

years old, to end his life. He struck the

BRIBERY CHARGE AGAINST
COUNCILMAN UNFOUNDED
Grand Jury Places Costs on Private
Detective.
The Grand Jury today Ignored tho bill
of Indictment for bribery against Select
Councilman Herbert L. Marls, of 1221 N.
Redlleld street, 34th Ward, In connection
with the acceptance by htm of contribu
tions from per diem employees of the
City to aid In having Councils pnss n bill
providing ccrtnln benefits for Buch work.
Tho Grand Jury placed tho costs on
Harry J. Imter, the private detective- em
ployed by tho Committee of Seventy, who
collected the evidence which resulted In
the charge of bribery being preferred
against the Councilman.
Fourteen witnesses were examined by
the Grand Jury. Including Imber. The
other witnesses were the city employes
from whom Marls was alleged to have
tnken money Improperly. From their
evidence, however. It appeared that Coun
cilman Maris, who hnd been asked to
use hlB Influence for the desired legisla
tion, suggested having a pamphlet printed
setting for their grievances and a copy
given each member of Councils.
Tho result of this was that a number
of the men made voluntary contributions,
ranging from 5ft cents to ll.uO. It was
for accepting this money that the Coun
cllmnu was charged with bribery, and on
which charge the Grand Jury placed Its
Btamp of disapproval.
