a uay a iramp saw me at uaiais. i
Tnree times I was stopped by French i
soldiers. The only French word I knew
waa 'Anglais.' but that was enough.
'Anglais,' I aald, and waved my much
thumbed passport with all the assur
ance of. a tourist with a Baedeker. It
had a magical effect. Smiles, salutes
and good wishes replaced the fearsome
Challenges of a moment before. ,
The early success of 'Anglais'
brought Inspiration at Calais. It wa
the same there. Gendarmes, station
master, ticket collector, booking cleric,
bowed and. smiled at the magic word.
No one dreamt of my paylDg for a tick
et to Dunkirk.
."But having boarded the train I
thought my luck had turned. The tick
et collector followed me into the com-
partment and settled himself' for a
Journey. Visions of arrest rose up,
born perhaps of recollection of having
once" traveled from the Mansion house
to Charing Cross without a ticket at a
moment of extreme financial stress.
But In the compartment was a French
boy who could Bpeak English, and it
'appeared that the station master, fear
ful for my comfort and safety, had in- !
atructed the collector to accompany me
aa a sort or guardian to see me safely
past the officials at Dunkirk. He did
so, and took me to a hotel, where thev
could talk of nothing else but tho
prowess of the British soldiers. anJ
where they waved away all suggestion
of a bill with enthusiastic repetitions
of the word that up till now had stood
me In such good stead 'Anglais.'
"In two days after leaving Boulogne,
with dread tales ringing in my ears of
. what would happen to me on the vay,
' I had arrived at Ostend without having
paid 2 cents in fares and only a few
cents for food.
"In this roundabout route to Ostend I
encountered many kindnesses, but the
limit was reached when a porter of
fered me a franc.

London, Oct. 17. Dr. II. J. Poutsma,
secretary of the Railway Men's Union
of South Africa, has Just arrived In
London from Berlin, and tells an inter
esting story of conditions there since
the war began.
Dr. Poutsma is one of the nine labor
leaders who was deported from South,
Africa several months ago lit connec-i
tlon with the general strike there. He
was in Berlin for six weeks after the
outbreak of war, and had a rather ex
citing time making his way slowly to
England. He said:
"I left Berlin 10 days ago, and have
just arrived in England. My stay in
the German capital will be unforget-
able, ,so crowded has it been with vivid
impressions and great events. I should
like to tell the working classes the
truth about the state of feeling in Ger
many immediately before the war and
during its early stages up to August
27.
"At the risk of my life, I left Berlin
with my wife and children on that date
with a Dutch passport I had been lucky
enough to obtain. With the help of my
knowledge of the Dutch language, and
through the kindness of a foreign am
bassador, I managed to slip over the
border into Holland. Everywhere I
went, outside Germany, I found the So
cialists convinced that Germany Is
wrong, and extremely ' anxious that
Great Britain should respond to the
call to aims. I, for one, feel so strong
ly on the point that I at once reported
myself to the British Labor party head
quarters, offering to address meetings,
if I am required, to tell the people
what I believe to be the need of the
hour and what is at stake.
Initial Enthusiasm Overwhelming.
"When it became known that Ger
many had declared war, the whole of
Berlin was aflame with an enormous
enthusiasm. The streets were dense
with marching throngs, singing the pa
triotie songs of the Fatherland, and
making their way to the kaiser's pal
ace. ' It looked aa if the whole city ha.'
gone mad.
"There was at that time a confident
belief that Great Britain would remain
neutral. Just after Great Britain en
tered the conflict, I waa told that no
British subject would be allowed to
leave the country, and I had to report
myself every day to the police. I had
in my possession an English passport.
which I had taken out only two hoursJ
before England had sent her ultimatum
to Germany.
"During my enforced stay In the cap
ital I saw the entrance of the kaiser,
the kaiserln and the crown prince with
his wife and the princes from Potsdam.
It was a scene of the wildest enthusi-
asm. The picture of the emperor is a
vivid memory. He did not bow once in
acknowledgement of the shouts of the
crowd. The crown prince and his wtfe
nodded and smiled continually, but the
emperor set with one hand at his. gold-
en helmet, stern and unscrutable, a fig
ure of destrny. There was not during
the whole time- the faintest flicker of a
smile.
"Scenes very different from these oc
curred on the arrival of the refugees
from eastern Prussia, in consequence
of the Russian advance. They came in
thousands, rich and poor alike, . packed
in goods, trucks, with all their belong
ings In small handbags or- bundles.
The women and children were crying.
Their arrival created a very bad Im
pression in Berlin, and gave rise to
j alarming speculations -.that the Rus
sians would De on Benin oerore iney
were expected.
Pood prices Begnlated.
"Meanwhile the ordinary life of the
city was not quite normal, although the
authorities did their best to keep it so.
Food prices were regulated by the gov
ernment as one step to keep off panic.
Srom ray house I .could see Zeppelins
and aeroplanes continually circling
overhead. Nearly all the tram conduc
tors had gone to war, and the trams
were equipped with women conductors,
chiefly wives of the conscript tram
men. 'It, must be. said that the .organiza
tion and equipment of the German army
is remarkable, and the mobilization
went like clockwork. There is a feel
ing of cocksureness' about victory in
Berlin.! The people feel that Belgium
was stupid not to' allow Germany to
march through, and that the severe
punishment inflicted is quite Just.
"Of the Social Democrats of Ger
many I am bound to say one or two
things, hard as it is for me to do so.
To begin with, tt should be remembered
that the Social Democrats to the
Reichstag decided to support the gov
ernment in the vote for money for the
war. I have met many Social Demo
crats In Berlin, who are known as hav
ing always been very strong on the in
ternational ideal, but many of them
were worse than the roost Jingo of pa
triots. With the cooperation of tho
government, some of the German Social j
Democratic leaders have obtained i
passes to go to countries like Holland,
France. Italy and Sweden to proclaim j
to the Socialists of those countries that
Germany is right, that Germany- was
attacked, and did not want War. I am
glad to state definitely that the report
that Dr. Liebknecht was shot is un
true. He is serving in the army."

Paris, Oct. IT. The French Academy
of Medicine has received from Profes
sor Edmund Delorme, a member of tb
academy and military Inspector' gen
eral, a report on the condition of tire
French ambulances and sanitary ser
vice. He believes the service should
change its tactics and try to treat more
wounded, especially the men suffering
from shrapnel wounds, to prevent gan

For the later, which Is especially se
rious. Professor delorme suggests preventative-

Another member. Dr. A. Dastre, gave
details of the successful use of a pow

of splinters of steel and even rifle
bullets. One such ' employed by Pro

Antwerp. Sept. 20 (by mall to New
York.) Tou know what a singed cat
is. It's a cat that ia better than it
looks. , :
Therefore, the Belgian soldier must
be a singed cat. He . has fought.
There is proof of that But he looks
and talks and acts less like a fight
ing man than any other soldier that
ever carried a rifle.
Watch the sentries." cried my
companion.
"We were in front of an automobile
factory which had been turned intc
an arsenal. Two soldiers lolled at the
gates. With their ridiculous caps and
gaudy costumes and - their constant
chatter they were rather absurd to
men who had watched real soldiers
quite lately. Bear in mind that these
were not the Garde Civique which,
with rare exceptions, is the Jest
Civique. Its duty is to bear arms un
til the enemy gets within a day's
march of the town hall and turns its
rifles over to the burgomaster. When
the German comes he gets 'em. These
chaps belonged to Belgium's regular
army.
Now watch the officer," said my
companion.
It was something like a game. The
officer walked down the street in the
newest new uniform I have ever seen.
His trousers were of the monkey-
pants red the precise shade you may
see "on Giuseppe's simian. They bore
deep stripe of blue. His coat was
of an archaic cut the Belgians have
not altered tneir umrorms for a cou
ple of hundred years and his comic
opera cap was canted over one ear.
He had very tinkly spurs, and his
sword rattled musically.
"Now, see," said my companion.
One soldier looked the officer over
carelessly. This soldier was sitting
on a cracker box- The other soldier
had propped himself against the door
way. He glanced at the officer and
then looked away. Neither saluted.
The officer didn't seem to care. He
Just walked on, his hands in his pockv
ets. His sword tip bounded from cob
blestone to heel.
Careless of German Spies.
We were prepared for it. We had
come to town that day from London
by steamboat. London is notoriously
full of German spies. For particulars
see any London paper. We had ex
pected to be held up on arrival and
made to how all sorts of papers and
prove that , we were what we said we
and 1 then go to the American
consul - to prove, that our proof - was
good. . We were sorely disappointed.
We created- Just as much excitement
on that whajrf as a. new baby would on
circus day. We tried to stop soldiers
and- show our papers. . They were all
too bnsy expectorating Into the water.

He had to be shown.

He laid down his rifle in the presence
of this obvious alien and tried to open

So the retired colonel bossed the Job.
He wanted to break open the car, but
the sentry said he'd rather not. He
would, if the retired colonel insisted.
But it would be a long, hot Job and,
anyhow, none of the ammunition was
needed at that moment The retired
colonel became vexatious. So the sen

A queue of people numbering thou

didn't have time -for any such foolish

various small sums and came back in
