FtoUerflaro, Oct. 10. The bombard
ment of Antwerp opened wtth dra
matic wid(Jnni. Midnight had just
truck when the first Shell loomed
into the town. The dark, empty .streets
nuddonly became alive with people, the J
rrie of children mingling with tne
hrili and terribly screams of women.
The people flocked panic stricken in
every direction. They had no fixed
destination and their blind fear was
pitiable.
There r.s it lull after the explosion
of the first shell, but a quarter of an
liour later the booming of the big guntt
began on a tremendous scale. Each
iihot was followed by the weird, long-drawn-out
din of the flying projectile.
Then came the final explosion which
was the most fearnome of all. iv'umer
ous fires broke out and the air around
them was vividly illuminated. Inten

Tea-Hoar Bespit Given.
The bombardment continued until o
o'clock In the laorntng when there was
a respite in the shelling for two hours.
At 1 o'clock, however, the firing com-
menced more fiercely than ever, the
shells exploding continuously, chiefly
around the plain D Justice, the pon
toon bridge and the farrtous railway
station; !
liulldings were crashing to pieces on
every hand. Cripples and invalldn
were carried or hobbled a best they ;

Washington. Oct 10. An Inquiry,
amounting almost to an ultimatum,
ha been addressed to "General Car
r&nza requesting him to state defi
nitely what he will do in various
problems now muddling the Mexican
situation.
The United States tonight asked
specifically of Carransa what he is
going to do about these three things:
1. Guaranteeing complete protection
to refugees and foreigners in Vera
Cruz.
2. Assuring religious tolerance
throughout the republic.
3. Whether if the customs duties
collected by the American authorities
at Vera Crux are turned over to him,
he will reassess the persons from whom
they are collected.

and robbery of two Americans in a
lumber camp near Independence, Cal.,

Thonkales was arrested at Moline,
111., and the Chicago police say he
confessed. Sheriff Collins said the
victims were robbed of J1.000 and sev

cording to the epolice, . said he shot
the Americans because they teased
him and that robbery was an after

the enemy at Us gates. The bravery

Charms tUl Kemalm.
Most of us know the Antwerp of
today, though we may not fully ap
preciate the honorable record of the
part it has played in the artistic and
commercial history of the past. We
know at least its widely thrown de
fenses, the laay Scheldt with the
endless quays, its beautiful churches,
its quaint market places, its museums
and renowned picture gallery, its
bourse, and the Place Verte, where,
in spite of the noisy tram cars, the
burghers love to sit and consume
tlieir bocks and cheap cigars.
Here and there one still comes upon
the old houses with iron barred win
dows, frowning upon the narrow lanes,
grim as ever, the old Steen, With its
miscellaneous museum above and its
dungeons below, a ghastly testimony
to the methods of the Inquisition. Most
of all, perhaps, everyone is familiar
with the cathedral dedicated to "Onze
iieve Vreuwe," .any time between 1352
and 1616. which dates mark tho begin
ning and final completion of the
building.
Suffered From fire.
In its ling life it has suffered from
fire and the haaards of war, of tem
pest and time, and it remains today
the largest and noblest Gothic church
in the how Countries. Not far from
it is the famous sixteenth century
printing1 house of the Plantin-Moretus
family, whose prosperity was built
upon an exclusive license to print mis
sals granted by Philip II. In this
stately building the presses remain
undisturbed,, and look as if they were
waiting for , ghostly-printers from the
shades to set them in movement.
Antwerp's great commercial' pros
perity under Charles V surpassed that
of Venice and made it one of the
wealthiest cities of the period. This
importance has of late years, under
different conditions, been repeated in
a remarkable way. This is due in a
great measure to its enhanced trade
as a seaport. It has become the most
important center on the continent for
produce from all parts of the world.
The great industrial development of
the natutai and manufactured re
sources of Belgium has also helped
largely in this commercial renaissance.
We miss the artistic note which
made the sturdy old Flemings so re
nowned oyer the civilized world. We
no longer look for masterpieces of
of the goldsmith and the silversmith,
nor for the carpets, fine cloth and rich
embroidery which helped to make Ant
werp famous. And centuries ago the
tsilk weavers fled to England to carry
on their trade. Stained glass, forged
iron work and the work of painters.
whose canvases today are priceless,
no longer are produced in Antwerp,
but the value of the trade passing
through the city is enormously abort
the value of the goods as when they
were produced in the days long de
parted. Times change but prosperity
knows no age. It comes and goes
with its golden harvest.
