London. — The bomb-dropping ex-
ploit of the Zeppelin airship at Ant- |
werp promises to become a matter of |
the widest international consideration.
The Belgian authorities clalm that the |
attack was a clear violation of article!
26 of the fourth Hague convention, and |
they are preparing to protest officially |
to all the powers against this manner
of warfare.
Accounts vary &s to the amount of |
damage done by the aerial fighter. |
One account says that 26 lives were
lost, although from more conserva
tive sources it is reported that only |
12 bodies have been recovered so far|
from the ruins of the wrecked houses. |
A dispatch which is regarded as|
semi-official states that 900 houses |
were slightly damaged and 60 houses |
nearly destroyed. This dispatch was |
sent to London, it {3s said, after a com-
mittee, which included the Belgian |
Secretary of State, the Russian Am-|
bassador, the Papal Nuncio and King
Albert's secretary, had examined the
entire city, with a view to appraisin
the results of the aerial bombardment.
This dispatch, published by the
Chronicle, says:
“For the first time in history, &|

KNOW HUMAN NATURE
Functions of the Novelist Are of the
Highest Order, According to Sir
Gilbert Parker,
Although Sir Gilbert Parker has en.

world who take a loftier view of the
writer's functions than does Parker,

that, keen though the politician's eye
must be if he is to obtain popularity
and manage men, it is as nothing com:
pared with that of the writer, who
must observe the characteristics of
human nature infinitely more acutely.
Says Sir Gilbert: "He must note not
only the symptoms which may indi
cate a passing functional derangement
of the moral and mental constitution,
he must go infinitely deeper If he
wants to know character. He must
find out, it may de, the more or less

obscure thing, the disease or corrup
tion lying behind the many obvious
symptoms, and it is probable that he
will ind his key in some small, elusive
thing which is a danger signal 10 the
trained mind to which is given also
the trained eye.
“To a registering eye, an eve which

under stress of the senses and the il
lumination which follows, a moving
pleture of innumerable things in their
proper places, the automatic memory
of the thousand visualized objects.”
