KING ALBERT'S ARMY
RETIRES IN PART TO
ANTWERP DEFENSES
Germans Menace City More
Seriously Than Ever In
vaders' Great Siege Guns
Reported at Puers.
ANTWERP, Sppt. 21.
German nnd Belgian troops nro fight
ing at Puers. Part ot King Albert's
nrmy has retired to the ramparts of
Antwerp. Tho German forco at Puers
is reported to have two of the great
slce guns that smashed tho forts at
Liege nnd Nnmur.
(Puers Is about eight miles from the
Jorts that protect Antwerp on tho south
west. This report lends to confirm
dispatches ftom Ostund that tho Ger
mans wcie advancing guns to bombard
Antwerp.
During tho last week the Belgian army,
lias rccolved reinforcements. The spit it
of the troops Is excellent and they nro
greatly encouraged by tho successes
gained during tho last few days In
eliarp skirmishes with tho Germans.
Tho German forces bent upon subju
gating Antwerp have their lino extend
ing westward almost Into Ghent. Their
artillery Is hard at work on tho south
bank of tho Scheldt, seven miles fron
the city. Hallway service has beon sus
pendod south of Ghent. Antwerp ap
pears to be menaced more scrloufly
than ever. Tho Inhabitants, however,
have not ceased to hope that tho city
lit escape a direct attack.
At Ghent, It is Impossible, because of
tho meagre reports received, to dcter
mlno tho progress of cvcntB across the
French frontier. It Is conceded, how
ever, that whatever may happen to tho
German armies In tho southwest It Is
certain that tho Kaiser's forces mean
to conquer Antwerp and to remain In
occupation of southern Bolglum, re
gardless of what prico 'they may bo
compelled to pay In lives.
A correspondent of tho London Chron
icle, a ho Is with tho Belgium army In
the field, wires that the Belgian army
Is pushing on townrd Brussels and Is
confident of regaining control of the
city. No stntement Is made of the de
tailed movements of the Belgians.
According to the Chronicle man at Lob
beke. Octavo Verhulst, CO yeurs old: his
tno brothers, Leopold and Arthur, 21 and
ID, respectively, were stood against the
charred walls of their home after It
hnd been burned and bayoneted to death
by Gel man soldiers while their iclatlves
looked on.
Another Ghent dispatch to tho Chronicle
quotes a newspaper as saying that -132
Inhabitants of the small Belgian town
of Tamlncs, In tho Kamur district, havo
been killed, presumably on account O
tome act against the Germans occupying
the district. The dead include tho priest
and tho local notables. After whole
sale execution, says the dispatch, tho
torch was implied so effectually that only
one house remains standing in tho district.

PEKIN, China, Sept. 21.
The following olllclal proclamation was

"Tho President has declared tho neu

"It Is, however, much to bo feared that

GERMAN EMPEROR MUCH
LIKE T. R., SHE SAYS
SOME PLANTS WALK WHEN
THEY DESIRE A NEW HOME
Currant Bushes Bend Over and Send
Boots From Branches-
Somo plants travel by actual walking.
Curiant bushes, wishing to multiply, do
riot wait for such a slow process as drop
ping their seeds to tlio ground and let
ting them, little by little, sprout and de
velop Into now bushes. They aro much
too Impatient for that: they know a
quicker way. They walk, nnd as th-y
walk they develop now plants The mother
bush selects a good, healthy branch: sbo
reaches out and carefully bends down to
the earth, and down Into the ground sho
sends llttlo roots from tho branch. Tho
roots collect the nouiishmcnt, send it up
Into the branch, and, lo, the branch Itself
is soon a flourishing currant bush, ready
to take another step In Its walk by send
ing out a branch of its own to grow root
lets and develop into still another bush.
In the same way, white clover, straw
berries, sweet potatoes. Wandering Jew
and many forms of grasses walk by
planting others llko themselves. Somo
of them 6cnd out "runners," which trail
along tho ground, llko the common ver
bena, trailing arbutus, numerous grasses
and trailing lycopodlums, und each now
plant or offshoot, as soon as It begins to
grow, sends out Its own runners. Thus
new plants am continually made.
Skilled gardeners nnd farmers thor
oughly undei stand how to coer certnln
parts of potato vines, for Instance, with
layers of soil, and later, by cutting tho
Mne near wherff It has taken root, to
multiply the number of plants.
Some plants have "suckers" branches
that spring from their parent stem un
derground and later appear as separate
rlants, and eventually the connecting link
or thread may be enlrely destroyed. It
Is In this way "by root," as we say
that raspberry bushes Increase or spread
out.
Many grasses spread in the same way,
and In all directions; some havo Joints
from which upright stems arise, and
which sond down Into tho earth roots pf
their own. Interlacing and binding the
soil and thus spreading verv rapidly.
Burn grasses grow several feet in a few
months The quack grass Is a typical
example of a fast walker and for this
reason Is greatly feared by farmers.
KINO OSCAR PEACE HERO
Monument Dedication Recalls His
Moderation in 1005,
On Hie Norwegian frontier the other day
there was dedicated in the presence of
10 imi persons a Swedlsh-Xorwegian monu

ahnoit within hearing cannon were roar
ing, musketry volleying, men dying In
agnnl-s. nations wi ratling In fratricidal

wonderfully striking contrast.
Only a few years ago Norway seceded
from union with Sweden. King Oscar of
the Ilernndotte dynasty, a man of gentle
onul patron of religion nnd art and peace,
rat on the throne. It was In his power
to launch tho army of Sweden against
the Norsemen, numerically Inferior. With

these are the meanings of war.

Writer Finds a Striking Resem
blance Between Two Men.
The resemblance of tho German Em
pel or to the seeker of a "third cup of
coffee" ha3 often been noted and com
mented on. Both are certainly unusunl
personalities. In a recent book by Anno
Tophnm, entitled "Memories of tho
Kaiser's Court," there Is much to Justify
thoso who see a striking likeness between
tho two men. As these aro days In which
gicat stress Is put on collateral reading,
possibly It would he well for those who
read "Memories of the Kaiser's Court"
to follow It with Lcupp's "Tho Man
Roosevelt." Miss Topham Is well quali
fied to deal with her fascinating subject,
as she was for somo years teacher of
English to the Kaiser's only daughter.
Ccitafnly there Is. something remlnls-
centlal In tho following:
"The Emperor's conversation at Its
best has a certain quality of intoxication
Is provocative of thought and wit. Men
have been seen, grave American profes
sors and othors of that typo not easily
thrown off their mental balance, to retire
from talk with his Majesty with tho
somewhat dazedly ecstatic look of peoplo
who have Indulged In champagne: then
they go home, and under the influence
of this Interview write eulogistic, apolo
getic charncter sketches of the Emperor.
It may bo asked how does he appear In
tho Intimacies of private life, to the in
ner circle of his court, to thoso who see
him In unguarded moments? Men often
change for the better, or sometimes for
tho worse, when they retlro from tho
public eye, but tho Emperor Is much the
same everywhere, ho has no special re
serves of character for domestic con
sumption only. At homo he inspires much
the Bame charm that ho does abroad, and
sometimes the same irritation. Unex
pected people, whimsical people, are
necessarily alternately irritating and
charming Just ns their moods happen to
pleaso or displease tho circle of people
whom they affect. He Is a man who Is
bound to get somewhat on the nerves of
those who surround him, to make his
servlco laborious to his servants, his sec
retaries, his courtiers, who live In a state
of continual apprehension, fearing that
thoy may not be ready for some sudden
call, some unanticipated duty There Is
no mora nlort place In tho world than
the I'russlnn court. 'We aro like the
Israelites at the Passover,' grumbled ono
lady; 'we must always have our loins
girt, our shoes on our feet shoes sultnble
for any and every occasion, fit for wnlk
In'g on palace floors or down muddy roads
our staff In our hand; nobody dare re
lax and settle down to be comfortable.'
Tho Emperor disapproves of people who
want to settle down and be comfortable.
In a Jolly, good-humored but none the
less autocrntlc kind of way, he sets
everybody doing something. He likes to
keep things -moving, has no desire for
the humdrum, tho usual, the overlastlng
sameness of things. No one who knows
the Emperor Intimately can fall to see
how early English Influences have helped
to mold his charactor, how Intensely he
lovos nnd admires English life ns apart
from English politics, for which ho has a
perplexed. Irritated wonderment and con
tempt. 'Not one of your Ministers,' he
said to mo on one occasion, 'can tell how
many ships of the line you have in your
navy. I can tell him he can't tell me.
And your Minister of Wnr can't even
rldej I offered him a mount and every
opportunity to see the maneuvers
"thanks very much for your Majesty's
gracious offer sorry can't accept It I'm
no horseman unfortunately." A Minister
of War! and can't ridel Unthinkable!'
He gave his short, sharp laugh.

WOUNDED GERMANS
RESCUED, NOT SHOT,
DECLARE BRITISH
Admiralty Denies Slaughter
of Survivors in Heligoland
Action Goshawk Endan
gered by Humane Aclivity.
LONDON, Sept. 2 1.
Tho Admiralty Olllce has Issued n 10
ply to tho statement of tho German Min
ister at Copenhagen, alleging that tho
English fired on German swimmers fol
lowing the naval battle near Heligoland.
The Admiralty states that when tho
Gorman torpedo boat destroyer V-1S7
was sinking, tho Goshawk ordered tho
British destroyers to cease their fire and
lower their boats to savo tho survlots.
Whllo this was being done an officer
on the afterpart of the X-187 trained
Its after gun on tho Goshawk and fired
at 200 yards range, hitting tho ward
room. It Is though that he believed tho
boat's, crew Intended to board and cap
ture his vessel, which was still flying
her' colors.
It thereupon became necessary to de
stroy bis nftcrgun, which was done with
a row well-placed shots, after which
every effort was made to save his life
until the Gcrmun cruiser Stettin ap
peared through tho mist and opened a
heavy flio on the British boats.
Thfj destroyers were torced to retlro to
nvold destruction. The Goshawk removed
her men from tho boat, leaving It to tin;
German prisoners, nearly all of whom
were wounded.
"It Is to bo icgretted," says tho note,
"that n bluejacket in tho forecastlo of
tho Goshawk, exasperated at the inhuman
conduct of tho Germnji cruiser.' threw a
projectile, which could not possibly have
exploded under tho circumstances, Into
the boat ns It drifted past the ship.
"This Is doubtless tho incident inferred
to be the German Minister nt Copen
hagen, and It cannot ho defended, al
though It was done under considerable
provocation It was surely a venial
offense, compared with that of the Ger
man cruiser, which filed mnny shells nt
tho boats of tho British destroyers which
were engaged In a humano and chivalrous
action."
ARMY RIFLES DIFFERENT
Most of Contending European Na
tions Have Distinctive Weapons.
The German Infantry uses tho Mauser
magazine rifle, model of 1S98, calibre .311,
Hrlng a "spit ball." pointed like a lead
pencil; velocity, 270O foot-seconds; sight
range up to 2000 yards. Cavalry uses

a carbine of tho bame make.
The Russian small arm for Infantry Is
a "3-line" rifle, 1901 pattern, holding fjve
cartridges; calibre, .299; velocity, 2033 foot
seconds, sight range up to 300D yards.

Death Often Comes From Feasting as
Well ns Fasting-.
The militant suffragist campaign of
self-starvation suggests to Dr. A. E.
GlbBon that death comes as often from
feasting ns from fasting. In a paper In
Health Culture he sets out that wo eat
wrongly and not Infrequently stnrvo In
tho midst of plenty. We mnko our meals
of Incongruous food and then wo eat
prodigiously ot the Ill-balanced food mix
ture, causing auto-Intoxication or starva
tion. l
The food decomposes Instead of digest
ing and the netves nro sustained on
poisoned blood, ("ortnln fowls, no mat
ter how good In themselves, when mixed
In the same meal ferment and generato
toxic acids which result In catarrh,
asthma, rheumatism, etc., until the whole
Inward tract Is devitalized, and the or
gans so deranged that the fluids of nutil
tlon are Impaired.
Moat dlsenses, It Is held, are due to
errors of diet, and a too early old ago
Is dun to the struggle of the bystem to
hold Its own ngalnbt devitalized and
anemlo tissue caused by wrong enting.
The promiscuous eitor may triumph for
a time, but ho Is losing headway and
sooner or Inter dizziness, acidity of tlio
stomach and general discomfort come as
warnings. Then he takes to medicines
which are a more whip to tho nenes,
exhausting tho reserve forces. Medicines,
the doctor holds, aie not a source of
vitality any more than a whin is to :i
Morse.
Nothing can help us but food, so com
bined as not to give rise to fermentation.
31ero absence of meat, docs not change
the chemical principles of food Any diet
that admits acids, starch, sweets, fruits,
salads, milk and pastry at the same meal
undermines the constitution. Such unwise
mixture in a vegetnriau diet has caused
more Indigestion and catarrh than any
other violation of dletettu principles.
It Is not a question of purity of food
but the bringing together of foodstuff
that defy physiological chemistry. Tho
remedy Is a pioper combination of foods
And then comes the Individual tempera
ment and the atmosphere of ono's mental
life. Food that Is good for one Is bail
for another. For each Individual Is a
world to himself and the attitude of
mind lies back of the physiological na
ture.
So it U necessary that each individual
food Jn hU dally routln existence, and J
so solve tho perplexing question of life
or death as Influenced by a right or
wrong system of diet. The lest of life
rrallv begins at 60. Then It Is shown
whether the Individual has been eating
lightly or wrongly, whether ho has laid
up sufficient force to carry him Into old
ago or whether by senseless gluttony he
has used up his blrlh-piomlso of a long,
happy and useful existence.
Algerian Contingent Is Made
Up of Grim Fighting Men,
Relentless Toward Foe,
Devoted to Officers.
I'AIIIS, Sept. 2i.
"La Forco Noire," tho "Black Army
of France," ns tho Turcos now fighting
with the Allies nro cnlled, was organized
by Colonel Mnugln In 1911. The Turcos
uro Arabian light Infantry recruited In
Alcgrla. The force In 1907 consisted of
only nbout Wmo Senegalese. Coloriol MaU
gnln raised tho number to 00,000 soldiers
recruited from Sonegat, In the Soudan,
from French Guinea, Dahomey, Algcrhi,
Tunis and Morocco,
The supply of men from this source Is
almost Inexhaustible, and furthermore,
this source of supply Is out of enemy's
reach. It Is declared that so long ns
only one French port remained In Fiench
hands these terrible African fighters
could be poured In streams Into France.
The Boldlers of these districts are born
fighters. Death In battle is, to them,
the highest distinction one can achieve.
As a result they are relentless In the fury
of their attacks and absolutely fearless.
They never surrender. Their wonderful
physique nnd almost total Impcrvlousness
to pain keep them fighting on after they
have received wounds under which fight
ers of whlto races huccumb.
Colonel Mnugln once Bald of these sol
diers: "Ills sense of discipline, his devo
tion to his white ofllccrs and the fierce
ness with which he hurls himself at the
enemy urn wonderful."
General Langlols, writing In the Temps
In 1909, when the raising of tho present
Algerian force was being discussed said:
"Tho sangulno and fatalistic temper of
the troops of theso races makes It a ter
rible asset In a shock."
In an article In Gaulols General Bonncl
said: "On the wide battlefields of any
future war the Arabs, trained by Cau
casians and armed with tho terrible
weapons of war of the white races, will
prove unrivaled when the final blow will
have to be devoted to the enemy."
With the troops organized nnd equipped
In her African possessions tho republic
holds ana rules a territory as extensive
as Europe Inhabited by 20,000,000 peoplo.
The use of Arabs In European warfare
by the republic during the present con
fllct Is not the first tlmo this hflfl been
done. Napoleon employed African troops
nnd they were used also In tho storming
of Mnlakhoff, Algeria also was drawn on
for fighting monvlurlng tho Franco-German
nr of 1S70.
Tho eaily troops raised In Africa by
France wcrr recruited mainly from th
Ifnbylcs nnd AraliH. The majority of
thoso which came from tho Kabylcs wore
n tribe called the Houovues, who gnvo
their name to the Houaves. Tho three
reirlmentH nf Algerian tirailleurs who
fought In tho Franco-German war lost
97 olllcors and 2JS9 men.
MIND'S 'POWER WILL

In the October Woman's Homo Com

urtlcle entitled, "When Is Youth What
After Youth?" The principal point which
hr brings out Is the power of the mind
to keep thn body young and vigorous. In
the following extract from his nitlcle ho
touches on this point, and nlso Indicates
the divisions between outh, middle nge
nnd old age:
"That we have It In our power to de
tetmlne our physical and bodily condi

Is an undeniable fact. That we havo It
In our power to determine and to dictate
tho conditions of 'old age to a. marvel

we arc sufficiently keen and sufficiently
