went out, to find a tall English Cap
tain and six Sergeants.
The Captain explained that he had
been sent ahead to find billets for his
regiment, which had been relieved by
French troops. He spoke in. a rapid,
nervous way, and the six Sergeant3
seemed strangely fidgety. I acted as
interpreter, and assured them that the

Regiment 1 Arranged For.
Leaving three Sergeants, the Captain
and the other three and I went on to
the other farm and arranged for bil
lets. There two Sergeants remained.
One returned with us and took the road
back into the lines, to show the ap
proaching regiment the way.
All this time I kept noticing how
nervous all these men were; but it was
not until I went into the comfortable
hall of the farm again that I noticed
how bad it was. I had arranged for
them to go to bed, but I -could not in
duce them to do so. The Sergeants pre
pared places for 600 men, but all night
they kept knocking about with lan
terns. There were beds for all; they
admitted they had not seen beds for
six weeks, and professed a desire to
get into them, but did not-
The Captain was the worst I ever
have seen of & strong man going so
completely to pieces. He stood 6 feet
3 inches, and weighed about 200 in
bone and sinew one of the best types
of Englishmen. I knew by his type
that he by habit and training was
reserved, but his tongue was loosened,
and he talked for hours. I was learn
ing astonishing things, but tried many
times to get him to go to bed, but he
would not even take off his shoes.
He said he could sleep better in an
armchair before the fire, and in the
end he never closed his eyes.
I had not slept the night before, and
about 2 in the morning fell into a
heavy sleep, waking nearly at 4. He

Knowing that the country was filled

"Why, only yesterday I unearthed a
spy right among us, in a haystack. He
had been there at least a month, and
naa provisions for two months more.
I only got him because the haystack
was torn to pieces getting straw for
our dugouts. Down through the center
of the stack he had a telephone wire
running across the lines. I had leaned
against the stack and talked manv
times. He knew everything we were
doing, and kept sending it across. That
is just one case.

throwing away hundreds more.

KOOSENDAAU Holland, Oct. 26.
Thousands of Belgians are arriving to
day and thousands of others are leav
ing on the Holland railway trains. The
Germans issued an order Saturday that
passengers must pay 1 franc (20 cents)
for passage on the Holland Line in
stead of riding free, due. toe iramu
continues heavy, both into Belgium
and Holland. A train each way is op
erated every daylight hour. All are
crowded.
There also are great throngs on the
highway going and coming. The Ger
mans have forbidden the entrance of
automobiles into Antwerp. Otherwise
they apparently are doing everything
possible to help the Belgians. The lat
ter seem slightly suspicious of the
Germans, despite the efforts of the
Consuls of neutral countries to reas
sure them. Men and women having
proper -passports are permitted to go
anywhere they wish.
German soldiers and marines guard
the railways, and all the highways,
scrutinizing the credentials of those
who pass. The unrest among the Bel
gians is charged by the Germans to
alarming statements about the Ger
mans, declared to have been made in
papers published by Belgian refugees
in Holland.
Roosendaal, Eschen, Flushing and
other Dutch towns near the Belgian
border are filled with Dutch soldiers
who are carefully patrolling the fron
tier to prevent aeroplanes entering
Holland or other violations of the
country's neutrality.
Great uneasiness is expressed by the
Dutch in the vicinity of the Scheldt
concerning the intentions of the Ger
mans. This feeling has tended to dis
turb further the Belgian refugees,
many of whom are eager to reach Eng
land or other countries remote from
the scene of war.
The Belgians in Antwerp appear ca
rious as well as alarmed over the Ger
mans. They stand in great crowds be
fore the windows of the cafes watch
ing the German officers as they dine.
The Germans visit all tne noteis ana
cafes, mingling in a friendly way with
the Belgians in an obvious effort to
allay their fears. They have ordered
that a part of the streetcar system be
operated and that the city be thor
oughly lighted. No wholesale dealing
is permitted in any goods that is likely
to be of use to the army.

Among Officers Killed In Action.
EW YORK, Oct. 26. Alarm, caused
among British mariners by the
depredations of the German cruiser
TTaWspnhA In Smith A m orii'an watAis
was shown today, when an officer off
the British freight steamship Tenny
son, In from Rio Janeiro, told a story
of the Tennyson's flight from a sup
posedly German cruiser off the South
American coast.
We thought the Germans were
after us," said the officer, "and put
ting ou all steam, sent out "S. O. S."
calls for the British fleet to save us.
When the cruiser finally overhauled
us and we hove to under her guns, she
proved to be British. We felt a little
bit sheepish, but were relieved to find
we were not prisoners."
LONDON. Oct. 26. News Is received
from Oswestry that Captain T. H.
Rivers Bulkley, equerry to the Duke
of Connaught, has been killed in ac
tion. A year ago last Spring, Captain
Bulkley married Miss Evelyn Pelley,
lady in waiting to the Duchess of Con
naught. LONDON. Oct. 26. A dispatch to the
Evening Star from Sheerness says:
"The British destroyer Badger ran
in here to make sure' that she had sus
tained no serious damage in the bow
in ramming and srnking a German submarine-
off the Dutch coast. Tri
stroyer's plates were fattened for about
three feet back to the foremost bulk
head, below the waterline. The re
pairs will be a matter of only a few
hours. . .
"A member of the Badger's crew
said:
" 'We were cruising off the Dutch
coast, just before dusk, when a suspicious-looking
object appeared ahead.
The commander gave the order to ram
the enemy and we raced at her full
speed. The submarine went down un
der our bows and as we drew off, our
guns fired parting shots at her." "
BERLIN, via The Hague to London.
Oct. 26. Artificer Luickhardt, of a
Zeppelin airship crew, has been deco
rated with the Iron Cross, first class.
While the Zeppelin was dropping
bombs on Antwerp recently it was de
tected by a searchlight in the town and
a battery showered shells around it.
One of the shells shattered the frame
work of a propeller, the damage
threatening entirely to disable the air
ship. When he realized this danger,
Luickhardt volunteered to saw off the
propeller, which task he accomplished
in half an hour while clinging to the
shattered framework 6000 feet above
the guns of the fortress. Later when
the dirigible got under way and was
speeding at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, Luickhardt repaired a long rent
made in her hull by a shell.

WASHINGTON". ' Oct. 26. Although
Germany contends that Canada, by
Bending troops against Germany, has
violated the spirit of the Monroe Doc
trine, Germany has no intention of at
tacking Canada, nor attempting to
colonize that dominion, according to a
statement issued here today by the
German Embassy.
The statement, was in amplification
of the view expressed yesterday by
Count von Bernstorff, the German Am
bassador, that by taking part in the
war, the Canadians had justified an ag
gressive campaign acainst themselves.
To explain further, the reason that
caused the German government, in a
formal note delivered t the State De
partment on September S by Count von
Bernstorff, voluntarily to pledge Ger
many not to attempt colonial expan
sion in North America, no matter what
the outcome of the war, the embassy
issued this statement:
"The note was written at that - time
because Winston Churchill had said
in a message to the American people
that if Germany was victorious in the
present war she would attack the Mon
roe Doctrine."
Canadian Premier Sees No Invasion.
HOT SPRINGS, Va.. Oct. 26. Sir
Robert L. Borden, Premier of Canada,
saw nere tonight for the first time
the published statement of Count von
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,
that invasion of Canada by Germany
would not be a violation of the Monroe
doctrine. He remarked that Canada
did not consider a German invasion im
minent just now, and that the relation
of the Monroe doctrine to such an im
probability hardly had been much con
sidered.
ATROCITIES ARE ADMITTED
French Assert German Prisoners
Tell of Order to Kill "Wounded.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. The French
embassy today issued the following
statement:
"The report appeared some time ago
that General Stenger. commanding a
brigade of the German army in France,
had issued an order to his troops to
give no quarter to prisoners, but to
shoot them all and to nnish the
wounded.
" 'An official statement' from Berlin,
via Sayville, was issued thereupon de
claring that this was an 'impudent lie."
"The atrocious order had, neverthe
less, really been given and carried out,
and proof of it is in the hands of the
French government. Over 20 German
prisoners of the One Hundred and
Twelfth and One Hundred and Forty
second regiments of infantry, now held
in France, have declared, under oath
before the magistrate, that this order
was actually issued on the 26th of
August, and that, in accordance with it,
all French wounded found that day
were at once dispatched. Officers, and
notably Captain Curtius of the One
Hundred and Twelfth regiment, super
intended the executions."
SECOND ARMY
15,000
Canada Increases Number to
Go Over Sea in December.
AMERICANS OFFER TO AID
Recruiting Officers Enroll United
States Citizens Who Appear In
Offices, hut Cannot Accept
From Across Border.
OTTAWA, Ont., Oct 2 . It has been
decided to send 15,000 Canadians to
Europe in December instead of 10,000,
the number specified in the announce
ment of Premier Borden two weeks
ago. The ready response to the call
for volunteers, and speedy delivery of
rifles and other equipment, have en
abled the government to Increase the
size of the second expeditionary force.
The Royal Canadian regiment, 1000
strong, which is garrisoning Bermuda,
will be one of the units to go with
the second contingent, and the place
of the regiment at Bermuda will be
taken by a regiment of less experi
enced men. A chance of active service
will be given many of the 1000 men
who have been doing guard duty on
bridges, magazines and wireless sta
tions in Canada since the beginning of
the war, and their work will be taken
over largely by recruits. In addition
to these forces, strong medical and en
gineering corps will be sent.
Many offers for service with the sec
ond Canadian contingent are being re
ceived from the United Staes, as there
were for the first. The military de
partmnt is unable to accept offers
from across the line, but the enlistment
officers do not hesitate to accept
Americans for service when they are
once in Canada.

ing of .recent days the enemy seems to
have sustained considerable losses."
ADVANCE BY ALLIES REPORTED
Germans Fortify Antwerp and Pre
pare Line of Retreat.
LONDON, Oct. 28. The official press
bureau issued the following statement
at 10:40 this evening:
"The situation continues to be satis
factory. The fighting is severe and
continuous, but ground is being gained
and many prisoners have Deen taken.
"One of our divisions has captured
two guns."
"Advices from the front this morning,
telegraphs the Paris correspondent of
Router's Telegram Company, "Indicate
a general allied advance in the region
between Nieuport and Tpres, as well as
to the east of Arras."
The correspondent of the Times at
Rotterdam sends the following:
"It is clear that the Germans are
putting Antwerp in a state for defense.
In most of the important forts the Bel
gian guns have been replaced with Ger
man fortress artillery of the latest type.
"The bridge between Antwerp and
Pays de Waes, which the retreating
Belgians damaged, has been repaired.
Evidently the Germans are preparing a
line of retreat from the Ostend-Dix-
mude line.
"The authorities have ordered the
railroads to cease the free conveyance
of refugees from Holland to Antwerp.
Only a small garrison is In Antwerp
at present, probably not more than 3000
men.
Confirmation from Paris that the
German extreme right no longer is
being manipulated by General Von
Kluck came as a distinct surprise here.
It was said last week that he had
been superseded by General Von Arnim,
but the latest version has him remain
ing on the Aisne, while Grand Duke
Albrecht of Wiierttemburg and others
are guiding the destinies of the armies
In Belgium.
Among the reports held here to be
ridiculous was that Germany was
building huge submarine transports
with which she hoped to land troops
on British soil.
Rumors continue to reach London of
the impending evacuation of Ostend
and the reduction in strength of the
German garrison in Antwerp. This does
not necessarily imply preparations for
a retreat, but it may mean that the
Germans axe throwing every available
man against the allies' left in their
effort to conquer the Channel porta.
Along the Belgian littoral, the allied
fleet continues its bombardment. The
great shells traveling three miles In
land evidently have proved effective.

eral Von Tripp and the members of
his staff, who were killed by a pro
jectile from a warship.
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 26. via London, 6
P. M. The Telegraaf learns that two
42-centlmeter howitzers and ten 28

guns between Zeebrugge and Hey St. a
Belgian seaside resort, nine miles north
of Bruges. Near Nieuport the position
of the allies has improved, according to
