NRW YOitlv, Sept. 23. A ftory from tho European wnr zone rivaling the tortures of tho Spanish In Qiilalllon wns brought to port today by passengers on bontd the Uranium liner Prlnclpello from rtotterdum. "With rny own eyes I saw ten Bel rians brought Into the plaza nt Bremen nd when they worn searched their pockets were found to bo full of parts of human bodies." said Mrs. Frledo Uau mnn, wlfo of an artist of Milwaukee, WU. Mrs. Baumann, who was accompanied ly her son, Arthur, said sho wbb stopping t Dlcpholz, a suburb of Bremen, when tho war broko out. "It was there that I saw such horrible examples of depravity nnd atrocities .gainst the Germans," said Mrs. Bau Ciann. "The Belgian prisoners, ten In number, cro all old men, too old, In fact, for military service. They wcro nil shot. Several days later I saw a German wo jimn -who hnd boon turned Into a raving jnanla.0 by , cruelties Inflicted upon her children. Sho had been living upon tho ftelgian frontier when the wnr broke out. According to her story, her chil dren were seized by Belgians and their ycs burned out. Her husband was a yeservlst, and when ho loft to Join tho German colors tho Belgians raided her homo and seized her four children. "Tho Belgians accused tho -woman's husband of being a spy. Sho denied, de claring that ho had gono to join tho rmy. Tho Bolglans then heated a sword until It was rod hot nnd drew the heated edge across the eyes of ono of her chil dren, " 'Now, Trill you tell us where tho my Is?' cried tho Belgians. The second end third child were tortured In this dreadful manner. Tho mother swooned and when sho camo to her senses her lour children were lying sightless and nnconsclous on the floor. The sight of it drove the mother mad. "In tho military hospitals nt Bremen X talked with German soldiers, who say that Belgian girls, 16 years old nnd jounger, went out on the battlefield nnd perpetrated shocking mutilations upon wounded Germans, who were too badly hurt to protect themselves from tho tortures. "Captain Hermann Trotzbeln, a Ger man officer, told me that In ono Belgian village the townspeople opened Are upon the troops from cellars. Ho took shelter behind a barricade with some of hli men. They could hear screams, and, upon breaking Into a nearby house, found Bel clans In tho act of sawing tho legs off a German soldier who hnd been captutcd. The soldier was strapped Into a chair nnd tho tormentors wcro mocking his cries of agony." Tribute to tho bravery of tho Germans righting In Franco was paid by Hem I Do Slbour, of Washington, D. C who, with Mrs. Do Slbour, arrived from ICurope on the Red Star liner Zeeland, which left Liverpool on September 2. "At tho outbreak of tho war wo were In England," said Mrs. Slbour. "SI y husband was In Franco nnd my three sons were In Belgium with n governess. Through tho assistance of tho American diplomatic nuthorltli'S we wcro finally united in Paris, where wo were told about nffalrs in tho Held by my cousin, who Is a military observer with the French army. "My cousin told us of tho fighting at Cnarlerol and Anns. Tho dating of tho Germans was simply wonderful." ho said. "The Gormans would advance In eloso foiniatlon right up against tho French Rims. Ho declared ho saw at least 10,000 mowed down llko so much wheat. At the end of Iho battle, ho said, ho walked over thp field and saw tho dead ho thick that In iomo places the bodies lomalnrd In standing postuto. "My cousin told of coining upon a Ger nun soldier, who had had part of his lain blown away by n French filu'll. Tho poor soldier naked for tho loan of n plftoi nnd when It wns given to him lie turnpd tho mnzzlo against his forehead and finished tho Job. "My rousln also declared thnt the Ger mans had been guilty of atrocities." SOUTH AMERICAN FOWLS NOW IN WASHINGTON ZOO Rare Specimens Come to the National Capitol's Collection. TVASHIXCITON, Sept. 23,-Froni the Almost Impenetrable wilds of South America have been brought to tho Wash ington Zoological Gardens to thu Wash specimens of fauna nnd fowl, regmtled as among tho most Interesting and rare of the present collection. Though It la lm Practicable to tako In many birds and Deasts at tho present time, duo to tho crowded accommodations, officials say the Jjew specimens were admitted on account or their rarity and their experimental prtn.

Perhaps tho oddest of the new acquisi tion Is a Venezuelan sloth, "as largo as tomcat," distinguished by his absence or teeth. The animal H described as in "awtlng foiests and feeding on the juices or fruits. It la R sluggish creature, and " a nocturnal prowler, seldom b.cn by "ay. as It hides in the hollows of the fees. Lang ilaws and n soft coat of " oi protective coloring complete his eharacteilstlcs. The animal was caught oy William Fevllle, a collector of New ork city, who makes periodical visits to the southern Jungles in nuest of ani mals to supply Amrtlcan zoos. Another of the late additions Is a Jiulana weasel, slightly larger than the laminar American teasel. The posses ion of the latter completes u pair of tnesa animals, as one was already in the local collection.

PARIS DEFENSES SWEEP AROUND CM ' IN TRIPLE CIRCLE LORD KITCHENER, BRITONS' WAR IDOL, IN PEN PICTURE Hero of Khartoum, Recon queror.of Soudan, Is Grim, Decisive, aVeritable "War Machine." The eyes of all England aro focused at present on Earl Kitchener, tho "organ izer of victory" who stands today In su preme command of tho destinies of tho British land forces, both ns secretary of war nnd ns commandcr-ln-chlef of the nrmy. Eat I Kitchener, says "World's Work, Is a tall man, Gl yenis old, with heavy gray moustache nnd wavy gray hair, which he wears parted in tho middle. He has a sunburnt, determined-looking iface, largo stecl-bluo eyes, and square jaws. Until tho events of the moment. Kitch ener has never commanded ngalnst tho organized army of any Power of tho first rank, but he Is probably the beBt known military leader in Europe. Ho wns born In County Kerry, In 1850, of English parentage. He was educated at the Iloyal Military Academy at Woolwich and entered tho Ilrltlsh army when 21 years of ago, receiving a commission in the Iloyal Engineers. Offered a post un der tho Palestine Exploration Fund, ho spent some years In Palestine, nnd was employed to make a survey of the Island of Cyprus. When Lord Wolseloy waged tho cam paign of Tel-el-Keblr in 1SS2, Kitchener was given command of the Egyptian cav alry. Then, from 1SSI to 1SS3, ho was with the Nllo Expedition. Ho commanded at Suuklm in 1SS7 nnd he succeeded Sir Francis Grenfell ns Sirdar In UfX). Kitchener stopped Into world fame nnd Into tho heart of evory Englishman in 1S95. It was then that He began the re conquest of tho Soudan, and two years la ter tho Soudan wna conquered. There upon, ho wns promoted to the rank of mitjor-general, icceived a grant of $150, 000 with tho thanks of Parliament, and wns ralbed to tho peerage. Thereafter ho wns popularly icferred to as Kltcnener of Khartoum. The days of glory for Kitchener came again in 1S9D, when ho was sent to South Africa as chief of staff with Lord Rob erts. How he finished tho Doer War, how ho ni ranged tho Peace of Verceulglng, and how ho c.imn home to 1m: made a Vis count, with the thanks of Parliament and a grant of $2u0,WO, are all matters of lecent history. From 1302 to 1S03 ho was commauder-ln-chlef In India, and after that returned to Egypt In the capacity of ilrltlsh agent and consul-general at Cairo, thus i Pluming to the scene of his first triumphs. Kitchener of Khartoum has proved his mettle In many and varied capacities. He Is one of those remarkable Englishmen whoso mission It Is to rulo countries which have come under Hrtlsh dominion during the extension of world-wido empire. RIVAL AUTHORS NOW ASSERT THEY WROTE 'THE CALL OF KANSAS' Sate Society Dips Into the Fight and Demands Proofs of Authorship Poem Is Widely Quoted. LIGHTS 0 LONDON STILL LIT, "GAY PAREE" HAS PASSED Conditions Make Marked Wartime Contrasts Between Capitals, The conttast between London and Paris in wartime Is astonishingly great, says the Now York Tilbune. How Paris goes to bed at 9, with no theatres open and the whole gay life of the boulevards re placed by silent, empty spaces Mr. Davis has told us. In London, on the contrary, there Is much cheer and enteituinment. The bulk of tho theatres are i mining as usual, llistoiical plays In praise of old England's heroes have the cull, but "Hello Hagtlnio" In not less successful, with "speelnl war news indicated to the audi ence." The Loudon Stage repot ts book ings and business ns almost up to nor mal for tlm season. The managers seem to feel that some defenso of these open houses Is due. For ono theatre, a repertory house In Bristol, Hues were written by John Masefleld ex rounding tho English situation and ex plaining why Because (as we believe) a nation needs A temper mid support in times of strain, Beauty for solace when the spirit bleeds, Laughter for respite to the weary brain. Of course, the chief explanation lies in the fact that France is Invaded and Paris threatened, while England sits at ease behind her fleet. Also tho stake In the case of Franco is existence itself, and her whole male population strong enough to be of use is under arms. England's stake W laigo and ber proposed army of 1,100, (00 men is a huge one. Even so, hers Is only a representative army, upon a. volun teer basis, and thcio Is no such universal tiaged) as In France. i No less a person than the Bishop of Winchester has applauded the London thtatres for remaining open and cheering the English through their teuso period of trial.

Somo Kansnns are reading tho war news, others are watch ing tho gyrations of the candidates for political Jobs, and-n lot of them are In terested In determining tho authorship of ono of the State's most famous poems, "The Coll of Kansas." This Is the most widely published of any Kansas poem and there Is not a Kansas Day exercise complcto without It. For many years the poem haB been credited to Miss Esther M. Clark, of Cha nute, an employe of the extension di vision of tho University of Kansas, and an author of numerous Kansas poems. In the last two or threo months a new claimant to the authorship has appeared, Mrs. Emma Clark-Karr, wife of an at torney of Glrard. SOCIETY CALLS FOR PROOFS. The Kansas Historical Society has dipped Into tho fight and has made a de mand upon tho two claimants to .sub mit the proofs of authorship. Miss Esther Clark has filed a long deposition with tho society, telling In detail how she happened to write" the poem. Sho was visiting in California In tho winter of 190ti-7 and became dreadfully home sick. Ono night as sho was tryjng to get to sleep she says tho line, "The voice of tho prairie calling, calling me," sud denly came to her and around It she built the poem. Tho poem was sent to J L. Drady, the publisher of tho Law rence Journal, who had printed some of Miss Clark's poetry, and It was published In May, 1007. It wns first published without a signature, but later Brady wrote an editorial giving the name of tho author. This was only after tho poem had been printed In the Star and credited to the Lawrence Journal. Hundreds of readers of tho Star asked who the au thor of the beautiful poem was, apd Mr. Brady gave It, nftcr Miss Clark had consented. The poem has since been published In folders and Miss Clark's book of Kansas vcises. YEARS DIFFERENCE IN CLAIMS. Mrs. Emma Clark-Karr was a Hutch liibon school teacher, and she, too, claims to have written tho poom during a per iod of homesickness In California in 1S99, and It was supposed to have first been published In tho Hutchinson Gazette in the spring of lgoo, seven jears before Miss Esther Clark wrote tho poem. A. M. Nettletun, ono of tho owners of the Gazette at that time, has mado a state ment that the poom was obtained for him by his mother from the mother of Mrs. Knrr and that ho set the typo for It. no mgnea xno poem ustner Clark by mistake, and his attention was called to this mistake afterward by Mrs. Karr's mother. I. L. Dayhoff, formerly State Super intendent of Public Instruction, has also made a statement that ho saw the poem In the Gazette and that ho used It for several years in his educational lectures A search through tho files of the Gazette for 18 months of 1S30 and 1900 failed to find tho poem. The Kansas Historical Society has a complete file of the paper. Mr. Karr has sent word to' the histori cal society that In a short tlmo he will furnish tho proofs of his wir ,i the author of the poem, possibly not In exactly the same language, but with every thought as given In Miss Clark's effort. . V' nraa" Ilas offered a reward of too to anyone offering proof that Miss Esther M. Clark did not write the poem and that it was not first published in the Lawrence Journal.

The flsme that la graen. hard arid deep, on Protected by Inner Wall and Ring of 17 Forts, Capital Could Resist Assault by 500,000 Men. Tho fortifications of Paris and their ability to resist a siege nrc receiving the close attention of military observers, now that Paris Is the announced objective point of the German forces, ntul the French Ministry of Wrir has adopted urgent means of strengthening tho city's defenses to the utmost. They consist of three distinct circles sweeping around the city, snys tho ticf York Times. First, the solid wall of masonry, eighteen feet high, extending for twenty-two miles around tho olu sec tions of Paris; second, the system of sev enteen detached forts arranged at Inter vals, two miles beyond tho wall, and making n circuit of the city thirty-four miles In extent, and, third, an outer girdle of forts, seventy-two miles In circuit, on the heights commanding the Valley of the Seine. EACH LINE COMPLETE. Each of these circles of masonry nnd steel Is a complcto defense In Itself, tho fdrts being linked together with redoubts, bnstlon and glacis, which permit n cross fire against approach from any direction. The magnitude of the system Is shown by Its area, which Is 400 square miles. The wall mound Paris and the seven teen detached forts two miles beyond It were built by Louis Philippe. They sus tained the German siege of 1870-71, nnd the outer fortB havo since been greatly stiengtlicned. The third lino of forts, on the hills of St. Germain, Cormtllcs and Vllllcrs. arc of modern construction, with the latest types of batteries and heavy guns. INNER WALL SHIELDS "CITT." Tho Inner wall about Paris surrounds the best-known and most Important sec tions of tho city, including the buslnoss sections along the grand boulevards, the residence sections on tho north "and west of the city nnd the Latin Quarter nnd other sections of the left bank of the Seine. Outside of the wall a circle of suburbs extends for many miles. Including Neullly, Argeuteull, Versailles. Vlncennes nnd many others Tho forts of the second and third lino of defenses nro dotted nmong theso suburbs, protecting them and the approaches to the capital. The wall contains 93 bastions and 67 gates. Some of those have been abandoned, ow ing to the pressuro of modern construc tion and trade. But recent advices re ceived here from Paris say that all the gates still existing are now closed at 8 p. m., with rigid regulations against movements from within or without. COULD RESIST 500,000. The second line of forts includes the famous fortress of Mount Valcrlcn, which was the centre of attack In the German slego of 870. It Is strengthened by two groups of works Patues Bryoros and tho Chatlllon fort and batteries. South of the city Is tho of forts at Ivry, Blcetre, Mont Rouge, Vanvcs, and Issy. North and cast of the city aro threo great forts around St. Denis, nnd two others at Fort Aubcr vlllcrs and Fort Charenton, commanding the approaches from the great wood of Bondy. The outer circle of forts, which are of the most modern type, havo from 24 to 60 heavy guna and 600 to 1200 men each. In all, the three lines of defenses re quire 170,000 men to operate them, not counting troops assembled within the city. According to military experts. It would require a force of 600,000 men to Invest these defenses.

Actions Against Hallway Companies Have Odd Features. A curious case against a railway came up recently, "While seated in a railway waiting room a woman fell backward through the railing of a bench. She sued the railway for J15O0 damages. Tho bench Itself was brought Into court as evidence. In order to discredit tho wom an's story a physician of repute, In tho service of the railway, took his seat on the bench. To tho surprise of the court, and doubtless to himself, ho landed heav ily on the floor; JlSno was Immediately awarded to the plaintiff. Tho doctor then sued the railway for JiO.OOO for personal injuries received In the court. The case, I think, Is still pending. In Borne suits thnt havo been brought against railway companies It Is very puzzling to know on which side Justice lies; even the claim agents themselves are occasionally baffled. A curious case in point is as follows: Some tlmo ago a young woman of un questioned respectability was on her way to a meeting of a grange In a certain village. In crossing the tracks at the rail way station, at a. point where, perhaps, there should have been some kind of board walk, sho fell, and received a slight Injury to her knee. Sho then pro ceeded to tho meeting of the grange, where she took a prominent part In a thatrlcal prformance. She complained to no one either of discomfort or injury. The next morning, however, she thought that she could not move her leg, and consequently remained in bed. Weeks passed, and then months, without the slightest change In her condition. Final ly, in order to avoid expensive litigation, tho claim agent made her an offer of ROO0 In settlement of the case. The offer was declined. For six months the woman remained In bed, without showing tho slightest inclination to exert herself. Meanwhile the railway authorities had consulted a number of prominent physi cians. "Somo form of hysteria," said most of them. On the other hand, the most noted specialist on such matters In the State said, "Pure humbug; put a mouse in the bed." Presently another woman appeared on the scene. She Just happened to be visit ing some friends In the vicinity. She soon made herself known in useful and pleas ant ways to ine villagers, in the course of tlmo she was introduced to the bedrid den woman. An intimacy between the two women sprang up, and the newcomer was able to observe every detail of speech and movement of the Invalid. Finally the Investigator for the railway drew up her report, and Informed her em ployers that tho parallels of the mind or leg was genuine, and that. In her opin ion, the woman was absolutely honest. The railway settled at once for $7500. Naturally this peculiar case attracted considerable attention. As soon as it was known that the woman had money to spend, she was showered with reme dies. At last she bought an electric belt. After wearing It a while, she regained th use of her leg, and In a verj few dais was well. Furthermore, such faith did he i place In the belt that she immediate ly became an agent for the company that manufactured U. and sold it all over the fitatt J, O.

On thn nd Ice of Gen ernl H. H.

Tho daughter and granddaughter have no record of tho deposit, nnd they say papers showing where It wns made nro In tho hands of a relative, Henry Wcstman, of the Snntco agency In Ne braska. Mrs. Williams has tried to get them, but ho refuses to give them up. Tho Indian woman who carried tho gold to the bank when It wns deposited still lives In Canada, It Is said. "I don't sco nny chance for you to get the money," Mr. Holcomb told Miss Williams. "Nono of the banks thnt was In existence then Is hero now. They ntc nil out of business, and I don't be lieve theie Is any way of getting that $1M0."
