LONDON, Oct. 9.
Thousnnds of Belgian refugees leached
London today, principally from Antwerp,
while It Is expected that many of tho
fCCfl snld to havo pone to Rotterdam
will come hero soon.
Lord Gladstone, who is head of the
BUglan Refurjeo Commltteo said: "Thoso
tvho arrlvd hero today from Antwerp re
port a very serious state of affairs thero.
They sot out before tho bombardment
beiran.
Gladstone declared his committee al
ready hnd placed 12.000 Belgians sinco
the outbie.ak of war, besidos assisting
thousands of others.
"Early this morninp." tho Amsterdam
correspondent of the Chronicle says: "Tho
first loni stream of refugees arrived at
I'utte, on the Belgian-Dutch frontier.
They came from the villages Inside tho
Inner fort line, and they were allowed
to travel only In a northerly direction.
By roon the roads presented a pitiable
right Thousands were trudging, with
their household belonging's In carts
drawn by horses and dogs. To mention
Germans to them Is to make them shiver
with nervousness."

A similar epidemic prevailed during tho
South African war. This prompted a
song which became popular nnd a chorus
of which went:
"The baby's name was Kitchener, Car-

The Individual bravery of the British
army engineers Is being lauded hero u'
prisoners und wounded coming from the
front. An instance of tho courage of
thwo brldgc-bulldcis is shown in the ac
count of how nn engineer sergeant gave
his life to suvo from annihilation a tmall
body of English engineers, who were pro
tecting a bridge. The odds were against
them, and the Germans were on the point
of crossing the bridge when the sergeant
durtul out under tho German fire, set a
quantity of high explosives under the first

short fuse he had no time to escape nnd
was blown to pieces.
For the Inst two weeks, a large part of

"I tried to got pictures of shells ex
ploding." Mr. Kearton said, "but It was
netx to useless, for they hardly shon- on
a film. In tho trenches, too, It is useless
and rather brutal. It seems to me, to try
to get pictures. For Instance, we who
havo seen men dlo from bullets and
shrapnel know quite well that they simply
slip forward a little, and tho whole thing
Is finished. They do not Uing their rifles
In the air and die In a posture. Any pic
tures that show that can be known at
once as fakes.
"By the time I finished trying to got

Father Alfant. director of tho Florence
(Italy) Observatory, paid today ho
thought tho Invention of tho priest, Dom
enlco Argcntlerl, of a system to receive
wireless messages without tho use of
poles or battel les was scientifically sound.
He related that after the declaration of
war tho Italian Government forced all
private wireless stations, including that
of the Florence Obervntoiy, to discon
tinue. The next da Father Alfanl ob
tained from Argcntlerl copies of official
wlrelcBP messages which tho priest had
been able to Intercept without a wireless
Installation.
Thero were many wnys to do this,
Father Alfanl explained. Ono of the
most simple the very elemental expedient
of sticking two steel needles Into a
potato.
The Journal des Dcbats calls attention
to the new style In mourning that Is
being worn by the women of Paris.
Those who are In mourning for their
menfolk, killed In war, are wearing a
small trl-color rosette pinned In thelr
corsage over black.
A sub-llcutenant at the front found a.
letter In tho pocket of a wounded Ger
man from tho lattor's wife. One sen
tence read:
"I hope you will spare neither women
nor children."
Tho letter was returned to the writer
with thli note:
"Madame: This letter was found In
your husband's pocket. He Is wounded
and Is now being humanely cared for."
"A man wearing tho uniform of a
crack Belgian regiment appeared lu
Schoonardo on Sundny afternoon," writes
a Belgian correspondent of the London
Dally Telegraph. "He ordered the male
residents of the city to take many wagon
loads of timber to the river banks."
Thinking he was a Belgian officer they
obeyed, carrying as directed all the
necessary material for a heavy bridge.
It was only when tho same officer was
seen directing a German attack from the
opposito side of tho river that the citizens
realized he was a German masquerader.

PARIS, Oct. 9.
Every day I learn moro details about tho
German occupation, and every day I find
It moro difficult to understand German
culture and mentnllty.
Tho following story is strictly authen
tic, having been told to me by the wife
of the Mayor of Luneville, tho president
of the Red Cross branch of the Fcmmcs
dc France (Women of Franco):
"When the Germans entered Luneville
they behaved as usual, holding tho Mayor
nnd a few notables n3 hostages, taking
everything tho Inhabitants possessed, pil
laging houses abandoned by their owners
and taking a curious pleasure in destroy
ing nrtlclcs which they could not uso or
take away ns punishment for the people
who didn't nwalt their coming. Although
wo may admire the brave ones who
stayed, who will not understand tho help
less women nnd children who lied at tho
approach of tho enemy, preceded by tales
of atrocities, sometimes exaggerated, no
doubt, but too often horribly true? Have
I not seen n man lose his mind when ho
heard of the treatment suffered by his
young wife nt their hands?
"How many other cases too dreadful to
bo l elated hnvo I not heard?
"On the first Sunday of the occupa
tion tho wives of the German officers
visited them In automobiles. They ex
amined every house nnd went through
the closets. They chose among the linen,
laces furs. Jewelry nnd silver what
pleased them nnd went away with their
enrs filled with plunder.
"The Hospital of the Dames Fran
calscs was closed under pretense that

of the Dunuing, wnicn was notoriouilj
false.
"The Hospital Fcmmes de Franco r.
malncd open. Both Germans nnd Frenci
were enred for there. Every mornlni
the officers came and insisted on taWnj
the ladles' hands and kissing them decof.
ously with Teutonic grace and a fe
minutes later would call tho same ladlu
and order them roughly to hold their
horses for thorn in mo street.
"A laundry man was met by a fow of.
(lrcrs, who ordered him to give up hli
horse. Tho man asked If he might
first take his load of 300 bodshects to
the hospital and ho was Instantly shot
as a lesson to tho population not to
dlsrues orders irom tneir betters.
"Privates amused themselves practlc.
ing shooting, taking as n target passers
by In the street. Nurses were so terri
fied that they did not dare leave tho hos
pital without being accompanied by two
soldiers, one on each side, to protect
them.
"Hearing such tales, not enly can we
no moro blamo those who left their
homes on the approach of tho enemy.

them down a leg of veal and left them

It Is not very satisfactory working n
