Advt Correspondentf rom Brussels Doesn't Believe Stories of German Atrocities London, Sept. 1. A mo Dosch, a cor respondent of the magazine World's Work, who went into Belgium some days ago, arrived in London from Brussels yesterday, which city he left Thursday. He said yesterday that John T. McCutch eon of Chicago, Irving Cobb of New York, and Mr. Hanson of the Chicago Kews were safe in Brussels when he left. Referring to the military situation in Belgium Mr. Dosch said: "The German auto trucks are a mar vel. Equipped with scythes, they mow right through hedges and wire fences, if the roads do not suit the drivers. These' trucks are heavily armored and they are able to resist anything except artillery fire. They enable the German forces to make 40 miles a day. The number of these trucks seems unlimited. "It is estimated that 300,000 German troops have made their way through Brussels, and that 400.000 moved south of Brussels. The troops which passed through Brussels were later engaged with the British forces. Only a small de tachment of Germans was left in the Belgian capital. "I have no personal knowledge of the horrible German atrocities reported from Belgium," , Mr. Dosch went , on, "and I am inclined to discredit most of these stories. The Germans also tell many stories of Belgain atrocities, most of which I believe. In some cases Belgian boys and old men undoubtedly fired on German soldiers from the inside of build . ings. "This is the case in Brussels and else where; and the men in buildings from which shots were fired were in some cases executed. I know of no women or children being killed because of their having been found in buildings from which shots had been fired. "From what I have heard I believe the Germans have wedged into the al lies and that they are not keeping a straight front to the enemy. The line of fighting from Xamnr south has been a siege and nothing like what many strategists have guessed. Louvain is a pitiful ruin. I came through that city on my way out from Belgium and saw the smokimj ruins. Only the big cathedral was visible above the'smokn, and that may have gone lat- T ii nnnhle to im to that section of Louvain where the American colleges ) maintained hy American subjects are lo cated, but I heard that they had dis . played the American flag and had been spared. "I had no opportunity to learn of the events which preceded the destruction of Louvain. The loss of this city is uni versally mourned in Belgium." .!;! ,.inf nf lrttnri written br dy ing German soldiers, forwarded to it by the French government ior tranupwi m tion to Germany. One is from a Germai aviator who had fallen into the handi of the French. This man wrote: "rinnA.Uva Avar father and mother my leg has been crushed. The French officers are very kind. A postscript to this letter, added by a French officer, reads: "At this point the brave fellow died. Please forward this to his parents." The Patriotic Queen of the Belgian. t of the Exnress at The Hague gives another version of the conversation between rung Aioeri. anu Prime Minister de Broqueville when the king expressed a determination to fight to the last. The incident Occurred in Antwerp Saturday, when the king said to the prime minister in the presence of the queen i "If necessary, you, my dear minister, and mvselt will take our rifles and go to the field." "So will I," said the queen, "and all Belgian women will go with me." Strange Story of German Crown Prince.

WAITED 44 YEARS; SEES REVENGE NEAR Aged French Woman Who Mourned the Death of Fiancee in 1870 Threw Open Shutters When Present War Began. Taris (bv mail to Xew York), Sept. 1. Those who have heard the story of the white-haired woman, living in a little village near Paris, in a house whose shut ters were always closed, are thrilled with one of the most touching stories of the war. No one could remember when the shutters of the old woman's house had been opened or when it had not always appeared solitary and sad, but on the day France declared war the shutters were suddenly opened and from every window appeared the tri-eolor. The old house took on a new life. That even ing the story locked in the bresst of the woman who lives there was known. Walking through the village the aged woman made her way to the fort. "T have a requet to make." told the commander. "I sheuld like to have you send one of your men every day to take the venine meal with me. He will be my guest. Forty-four years spo my fiancee, after dining with me. went awsr to fight. They brought him back with two Jermsn bullets in his breast. Since then no men has ever entered my hon.e, but this Is the hour of revenge. In his place at my table I should like each day one of those who are about to avenge him." The commnndcr granted the request of the woman and each day one of his men goes to the house and dines with her. One of the soldiers on returning said that as he left the house he saw the old woman kneel before a portrait veiled with crepe. Government Suit Opens in Chicago Be fore Jesse C. Adkins.

MAY SUPPRESS LONDON TIMES Asquith Severe in Commons on Hysterical Press TO PASS LAW AGAINST IT Denials of War Office Verac ity Stirs the Cabinet London, Sept. 1. The direct threat that certain of the London newspapers which have published hysterical accounts of the reverses to the allies on the con tinent may be suppressed, was made in the House of Commons yesterday by Premier Asquith. The censor of the continent has passed a number of stories, chief of them one to th London Times, which declared that only bits of the British regiments were left after the sustained fighting of last week which carried me British south from Mons, Belgium, to a point well south of St. Ouentin, France, a retreat of more than fifty miles. This story of the Josses was directly contra dicted by Earl Kichener, the war sec retary, who placed the losses at 6.000 men and described the retreat as or derly and well conducted. The issue of veracity thus arising has embarrassed the government. "Referring to this sort of news it may become necessary for the government to enact special legislation which will prevent the circulation in the future," said the premier. This announcement overshadowed an else yesterday. Tha London uewspapers have been chafing under the extreme censorship and doing their best to evade it. To-day s announcement means that the government intends to not only maintain it, but to act in a drastic man ner against papers opposing it. There was no news from the scene of war. The German allegation that they have cut the lines of communication from the channel with the British forces in France is denied at the war office. It is stated there that the roaif to the con tinent is open and "will be kept open" whether Paris is besiegd or not. It is accepted that t.e British celumns are again in action in France. The gen eral German advance from the north was renewed at daybreak yesterday and there is no reason to doubt that the British army, heavily reenforced, is again in position on the firing line. Stories of heavy firing on the Herman coast continued to gain circulation yes terday. There was no confirmation, however, of reports that, the fleet lias again been engaged. With the announcement that a ew Zealand expedition has occupied German Samoa the report is persistent that an Australian expedition has been sent to occupy German Xew Guinea.

Coveleskie, the Tiger pitcher, handles the champion Philadelphia team like he handled the famous Giants several years ago performing as Philly. Jack Doyle, now scouting for the White Sox,' says that George Stalling has the right idea of working three pitchers in turn.

This great output was due entirely to the operations of the dredging companies and the larger deep mines, as the number of mines op erated in 1913 was 24.1 less than in 1912. Of the gold recovered from placer mines the gold dredges reported $8.01K"), 294, which was nearly P2 per cent, of the placer gold snd nearly 40 per cent of the total state yield in 1013. Since the commencement of gold dredging in California, IS years ago, the gold recov ered from this source ha amounted to $63.5115.485. Most of this large yield has been derived from ground which could not have been mined profitably under anv of the old method of gravel mining. The 410 deep mines sold or treated 2.495. 038 tons of ore. a decrease of 145,53!) tons, compared with 1012. Most of the siliceous ore, which amounted to 2.031, 120 tons, was treated at gold and silver mills, yielding an average recovery of 15.61 a ton in gold and silver mills, yield ing an average recovery of $5.81 a ton in gold and silver. The 448,439 tons of cop per had a recoverable value of $1.84 a ton in gold and silver and $11.74 in cop per. The 14,207 tons of lead ore treated had a recoverable value of $11.24 in gold and silver and of $23.11 for all metals. The zinc ore shipped in 1913 amounted to 1,23 tons, which was con siderably lees than in 1012. The recoverable silver in 1013 amount ed to 1.378.31)0 fine ounces, valued at 3832,653, n increase of 78,263 fine ounces in quantity and of $32,960 in value.
