RUSSIANS HAVE UPPER HAND
LONDON, Oct. 24.—With respect to the eastern
part of the war arena it was announced this afternoon
that the Russians continue to hold the upper hand over
the Germans. This means that the latter will be unable
to detach troops to tight against the allies in France and
London feels more confident than ever.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—At least two American news
paper men have tried to make the sphinx talk. They
have tried to interview Lord Kitchener. It is a task no
British reported would set for himself. One American re
porter received a polite note from a secretary saying
Lord Kitchener was too busy. With that he can prove
that he tried the impossible.
The one Cabinet minister who is easy to interview is
the First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. In
deed when on September 25th, the Press Bureau announc
ed that it would have a statement at seven o'clock in the
evening, the reporters were ready as usual. But when
it turned out to bo an interview that Mr. Churchill had
given to a representative of a Rome journal, their faces
fell, as novelists say. Only a few of the papers seemed
interested in it.
BERLIN, Oct. 22—The following in Belgium is re
lated to the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger by a member of the
Landwehr: “When we desired to pass the night in a cer
tain town, an innkeeper with unusual friendliness offered
us quarters for GO men. When we investigated the sleep
ing quarters-the hay loft- we found hidden deep in the hay
two big wine bottles with dynamite and fuses attached.
Thereupon the innkeeper was tied to a ladder and guarded
by a sentry. Then for a whole day he stood up against the
door of the church. In the evening he was shot._
The following story of the bombardment of Liege
is told by the Staats Zeiting
“A German, who had lain in a Belgian fort as prison
er and witnessed the whole bombardment, described the
course of the battle. The bombardment, he said, began
at midnight on August 6th. On shell after another ex
ploded, and Liege was soon afire in many places. From
every roof and window in the houses came a rain of bul
lets. Under this fire the Germans stormed through the
village of Roncourt and deployed in a wheat field. Two
hundred Germans opened a rapid fire on 2,000 belgians,
of whom 500 fell. Nineteen German pi-isoners were con
lined in a cellar when the Germans’ heavy artillery began
firing. They could hear the shells coming through the air,
and every time they exploded, gas, powder, earth and
cement dust flew into the cellar until the men were nearly
suffocated. Finally an explosion blew in the iron door of
the cellar, and shortly thereafter the Belgians surrender
ed, freeing the prisoners.
“On the following morning I went to Namur. In
Liege certain streets had been burned out, but in Namur
whole blocks were destroyed. The Grand Palace, with
its beautiful Rathaus, had been blotted out of existence.
In its place were heaps of ruins, from which smoke was
still coming. The destructive effect of grenades could be
noted on many houses. The city was without bread. Ger
man patrols were guarding the bakeries, which were be
ing'stormed by the people. By 4 o’clock in the afternoon
! even the largest hotels had no provisions of any kind left.
Our troops were fed from the vast quantities of food
stored in the forts. In the city there was a shortage of
everything, especially potatoes and salt.
“In the afternoon we went on to Gembloux. The
famine was still worse there. The soldiers declared that
they had been unable to get bread or beer from the people
for fourteen days.”
LONDON, Oct. 22.—Founded by suffragists, a Wo
mens’ Volunteer Police Force is drilling daily for duty
They call themselves the Women Police Volunteers and
are an off-shoot of the Women’s Freedom League, of
which Mrs. Despard, a sister of Sir John French, is the
head. When they are ready for active service they will
get a fetching uniform to give them a semi-official status.
A navy blue serge costume of a smart military cut, with
a hard felt hat like a bowler with a flat brim and a belt
will make up the outfit. Brass letters, “W. V. P.” on the
shoulder strap, a metal badge on the front of the hat, and
special badges, denoting the duty division, such as “P
for Park and number of the constable on the collar and
such necessary implements as first aid appliances, includ
ing smelling salts (for cases, not for the policewomen),
police whistlers, district map, and pocket torches will
complete the equipment. _ _...
