With hundreds of passengers from nil
parts of tho Kuinpcan war yone on board
the American Line fcteampshlp Dominion
landed at the Washington avenue wharf
from Liverpool, this nioinlng. Tho liner
ii rived after an uneventful voyage, on
which no obstacles were encountered,
"not even a On man cruiser," as Captain
W n. Ingham put It.
Uut If the voyage of the ship was un
eventful th" experiences enc&untcrcd by
many of the passengers on tho continent
were different. Many or tho passengers,
nnd pai Ocularly the women, havo ex
periences of nil sorts to relate.
A graphic story of the occupation ot
Iirusbels by the German foices was told
by Mliis Ull.tboth Doorr, of this city,
who luft Ilrusscls a day after the aniva!
of tho German army there.
"I shall never forget tho sight," said
MIs Doo-r. "One million men, like a
great lolling cloud, pafesed through tho
city. It took them three days and three
nights to do it, and when they got through
Urust-els wuh foraged. Thcro vviia hardly
a bit of food In tho city. Not a drop of
milk could bo gotten. All tho food atorcs
and warehouses were emptied by tho
Germans and tho palaco and public
houses wero occupied by U- now Ger
imu gauison left behind by the main
army.
"It was on Augii't 20 cnily In the morn
ing when wo lecc-Iv-t-d oid!fi that all Hags
but tho Ocimnn nnd the Ameilcan Hags
imifct bo lomovcd fiom sight. A short
time nftcr the receipt of this older tho
111 st German olllcer, riding on a blcjcle,
entered tho city. Wo saw him, for, en
couraged by the report from tho American
legation that tho city would bo sur
icndered without resistance, wo took a
chance and went out for a promenade.
Behind tho olllcer came 40 cavalry men
with llflcs ready to shoot If any sign of
sniping should nppar. And then camo
the renl sight. Ono million men, one huge,
endless oloiid of humanity entered tho
city. It .seems strange, but all of them
loo't.-d tiled Munv of thorn seemed to
he d'-zlm; on their hordes, nnd every now
nnd then, miibcd by some nolso und sound,
would lmriiedly open their eyes and look
fibrin them.
pAisi: fop. nit.sND wntTi.ocic.
'Gient credit is duo to Hrund Whitlnck,
tho Amoilt'in Minister to Belgium. I don't
know what tho Americans in Brussels
would havo dono without his valuable
nld. Hut thnt is not all. Tho fact that
Brussels was baved from tho fate of
I.ouvaln is duo dlroctly to tho e fruits of
Mr. Whitlnck. On tho ovo of tho anlval
of tho German army n meeting, at which
tho city authorities and Mr. Whlllock
wero present, was hold In tho city Hall,
It was at first suggested that tho Bel
gians elufe-nd the city to the Miry lust
man, but Mr Whitlnck piovaited upon tho
civil nnd military nutlioiltie-s to iirieu
dcr the- lly, saying that it would bo uso
los to 101 i.i- any rcislatico. since It
would bo overcame and would only re
sult In great loss of life nnd property.
"I am glad to tay," contlnue-il Miss
Doerr, "that nil the art treasures of
Hrusj-C'ls have lesn saved from seUuro
by tho Germans, because they had all
been previously lemoved to Kngland."
Miss Doerr said that after leaving llrus-
ti-ls It took her 13 hours to got to Ostein),
whereas tho trip should not take more
than two hours She left Philadelphia In
1 July and unit to Hrussc-U to complete ft
CQUrso in music.
