JHECHUN CAPTURED,
FOE PUSHES ATTACK
ON BELGIAN CAPITAL
Germans Occupy City Thir
teen Miles From Antwerp.
Invaders Are Reported Re
treating From France.
ANTWERP, Sopt. 29.
After a severe bombardment, the Qer
Hintis liavefoecupled Mechlin, about 13
miles south of this city, according to
an official announcement given out today
by the War OITlcc.
The Germans have been carrying on a
hard bombardment of the forts at Wavrc,
gt, Catherine and Wacltham, about, ten
miles from tho temporary Belgian cap
ital, but the lire of the forts has not
ceased
It Is reported (but not confirmed by
tho HcIkIiui Government) that Burgo
master M. Mnx, of Biusscls, who was
nnostcd by tho Germans, has boon re
leased on tho payment of $0,000,000 by tho
municipality.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Tho official statement of tho War Of
fice follows:
After bombaidlng Mechlin, the Ger
mans under cover or nignt entered
tho unoccupied town, but lmvo not
resumed their inarch from thnt place.
Tlio Germans lmvo directed flro of
all their heavy artillery ngulnat tho
forts of Wavrc, St. Catherlno nnd
Wneltlinm, about ten miles from Ant
werp, but with n result not Justify
ing their great expenditure of am
munition. 'Our foits replied and tho
bombardment ceased.
Between the Dcndro nnd tho Wllle
broeek canals, west of Wacltham,
the offensive movement of tho Ger
mans bus been promptly chocked.
The forts Inflicted serious losses on
tho enemy and compelled his retreat.
The city of Alost has suffered con
siderably from urtlllery lire. On account
of tho German position tho Belgian
artillery was compelled to tako up a
position that allowed shells to drop In
tho city. In consequence flro started and
It number of buildings were destroyed.
DAMAGE AT ALOST.
Host of tho damage at Alost, however,
was done by the German artillery which
occupied a range of hills 3outh of tho
toun. A correspondent Just nrrlving
from that district says:
"Flro did much xdamage In tho new
quarter of tho city. A church, the col
lege, building, the railroad station nnd a
hosnltal were all struck by sholls early
In the engagement nnd sot on fire. AVhen
1 left the bombardment was going on
furiously and smoko was rolling upward
from tho burning city."
The Belgians claim to havo silenced
tho German guns and compelled tho Ger
mans to letreat.
Alost N an Important Belgian elty,
having nearly 35,000 residents and lying
shout 10 milts northwest of Brussels. It
Is on the Dcndro River and has a big
trade In hops. The old quarter of tho
town Is more than M0 years old.
During the florco lighting which raged
around Alost tho burgomaster, 51.
Gecrats, although SO years of ago, re
mained In the town.
"I must remain at my post," ho said
when friends and relatives urged him to
feck safety. Although a shell fell In
tho garden of his residence, M. Georats
remalnf-d on the veranda of his honso
witching the battle. Tears streamed
down his checks at the sight of the
battle's ravages.
EXHAUSTED FRENCH TROOPS
CAPTURED HILL BY CHARGE
Regiment Fought 72 Houru nnd Then
Begged to Finish Work.
PARIS, Sept., 29.
As nn Illustration of tho spirit that
animates tho French regiments the story
is ioiu or an incident at Solssons, where,
after thrco days' Incessant fighting, a
sing o Infantry regiment thnt had as
saulted tho enemy's position tlmo nnd
again was compelled to retire. At the
closo of tho third- day, by a bayonet
flhargo, thoy had gained a height which
covered tho German position, but tho
latter wcro on a neighboring hill, whero
thoy wero busy Jigging entrenchments.
it was necessary to carry tho position
oeforo tho digging was finished, If It was
to bo takon at all, so Iho comihandlng
omcer, recognizing thovcxhausted con
dition of his troops, sent for reinforce
mcn, ' "lvll0In ho ordered to charge.
Tho regiment felt humiliated at tho call
for reinforcements, nnd petitioned their
colonel to bo allowed to finish tho work
themselves. Permission was reluctantly
given, nnd, despite their previous 72 hours
vl uruuous lighting, tho remains of tho
regiment charged up tho hill and carried
It by assault. Thoy loBt heavily In tho
c?.rt' but Ulclr Br,Jo lmtl 'oei satisfied.
Tho Figaro, as an Instance of how little
news reaches the French capital from tho
front except In tho ofllclnl bulletins,
quotes a London dispatch concerning tho
wounding of Carpcntler, tho French box
ing champion, who Is nt tho front.

A traeler Just returned from Brussels

that In tin futuie they will pny for noth

Funny Little Things That Cause
Childhood Much Suffering.
School Is well begun. For several days
thoy have gone laughing and quarreling.
uy mo uoys and girls with faces, hands,
blouses and dresses nil clean. Once or
twlco thoy have slipped through back
yards, Httlo hooded, figures taking short
cuts through tho autumn rnlns. There
may be something that Is pathetic, thero
Is much that Is Joyous nbout thorn.
Oho or two persons havo said that It
Oiled them with emotion to watch tho
children como trooping out of the school
building, Perhaps It Is because of tho
tremendous hopo that they represent, nil
unconscious, tho hope thnt Is a part of
tho parents of overy one, perhaps It Is
Just because they nre unconscious of It,
that they aro a Httlo trnglc.
The tragedies, which aro so much more
Interesting, however, becauso they aro
so much more nllve, aro tho funny Httlo
inuivmuni tragedies of the children.
Mary Louise has been weeping over her
tragedy for n long week. Torhaps sho
would not have wept so long If It had
not occurred to her fresh each day.
Josephine Is no longer In her room. Sho
would tell you nbout It tho first thing
If sho saw you. Josephine Is not In
her room, and sho lives too far away
for evenings and she will Jus never seo
her except on Saturday and there are
so rew Saturdays.
Dicky has a moro common cause for
grief, ibut It Is not entirely unmixed with
happiness. He was a shut-In baby, and
the teacher and her lessons nre as noth
ing to him, compared to tho things hu Is
learning about other boys and girls, who
teaso him and mnko him miserable, but
whom he tidmlrcs above everything.
Some of tho funniest tragedies are left
at home. Sarah Is six and goes to school.
Susan Is only four nnd stays nt home.
Sarah and Susun are aware, not only of
Sarah's superiority but also of Susan's
Inferiority.
Sarah is not content with the pride of
skipping away to school with the big
girls each morning. Sho Insists upon
Susan being her baby when sho gets
home. Susan hates being a baby, but
there Is nothing else to do, and nt any
rate sho rejoices that she Is not like the
wistful little girl next door who has not
even a sister that can go to school.

LONDON', Sept. S3. Tho Kaiser will lose
bin gui ter. Such somloftlclnl announce
ment has been made here.
Kngllsh public opinion will not permit
him to retain tho dainty Jeweled ribbon
bestowed upon him by Queen Victoria,
and which canlus with It mcmbuishlp In
the oldest and most exclusive, older of
chivalry in the woild the Jlost Noble
1CdiT of the Cinrtcr.
There Is no doubt that tho matter of
removing the banner!, of tho Kntser and
tho Crown I'llncn fioni the Garter chapel
111 Windsor Castle Is being eonsldeicd by
olllclnls. Thero is no precedent, however,
for expelling u foreign monarch. High
treason Is the only crime that can justify
expulsion, and the loadln? authorities
ngreo that It may bo dltllcult to try-one
nion irch for treason to nuother. The
Inst member of the order to bo Ignomint
ously expelled was John, Duke of Ormond,
a Jacobite hnbleinnii, wlio saved Ills neck
by Hoeing the country.
Thoso who liiblst that tho blncli-eagled
banners In tho Gaiter chupel must bo
torn down as unworthy of a place among
the historic emblems hanging over the
knights' pews, contend that tho Germans'
actions nt I.ouvaln, Termonde, Dlnant
nnd elsewhere give ample grounds for
expulsion. They deelnro tho Kaiser Is
suiely guilty of treason to the lofty ideuls
of chivalry on which the Older is based
Thev insist that tho noblest blood of
lUiglund, to say nothing of other Euro
pean mouarchs who are members of the
order, cannot continue to regard as a
'brothor. lover and fellow" according
to the rules of the Order a ruler with
whom thev ure at war and whom they
hold has broken the laws of knighthood.
I'niice Henry of Prussia nnd the young
Dtiho of Saxa-l'oburg-Ootha certainly will
almost share the Kaiser's fate. Neither
can Hmpeior i'raiu Josef well be allowed
tc Keep his Gaiter.
Hut tor the fact that he might be re
guided as an Innocent tool, the Duke nf
Kixa-Cobuig-Ciothu would havo short
slulft. Guitur-kliig-uf-nnns tukeb a very

The news that tho Czar contemplates
tho liberation of all political offenders
now confined In the prisons of Itussla and
ln.SIbcrlan exile Is being received by Rus
sian revolutionary refugees in this city
with doubt and distrust.
At a meeting of tho Relief Society for
tho Political Exiles and Prisoners In Rus
sia, held at Sixth street and Fnlrmount
nvonuo this afternoon tho news received
only slight consideration.
"It Is Impossible to conceive that tho
Russian Government, the most despotic
and tyrannical nnd merciless on earth,
has suddenly realized the evil of its
ways," said Samuel Zukerman, of 411S
Stiles street, secretary lot the society.
"The Russian Government, ever since its
strangling of the manifesto of October
17, 1003, grnntlng tho people u certain
amount of freedom, has constantly been
seeking tho death and destruction of tho
thousands of political prisoners and ex
iles who lmvo dared to commit the crime
of wot king for tho liberation of their coun
try from absolutism by peaceful and edu
cational means. Tho acts of the Govern
ment, tho manner In which these pilson
ers nnd exiles aie treated would put the
cruelties of the Middle Ages to shame.
And now the Government has suddenly
seen the evil of Its ways and wants to
atone by proclaiming u general amnesty.
I believe that this sounds llko u travesty
and u joke unless tho days of miracles
are not yet over. Nothing short of a
mlrnclc, or, pel haps, grave danger, such
as this war holds out, could Induce the
Government of the Czar to free Its vic
tims, who for years have been tortured
and mlstiented In n way which puts the
Government of tho Czar under eternal
condemnation and places tho anathema
of history upon tho heads of those re
sponsible." KSCAPKD KROM .SIRIIRIA.
Mr. Ziila-nimn, a oung mull of nbout
23, recently esenped from Siberia, where,
after being conllneil In a prison, ho was
sent Into exllo to n lomoto point on the
River Angaia, TOO miles from tho city of
Krasnojarsk. He made his escape ono
year ago, after walking for IS days
tluough the Siberian wilderness, until ho
reached the city of Yenlhseisk, whence,
n .! being supplied with money by
friends who had been awaiting him In
that city, ho made his way by train to
Cheliubinsk, In tho Ural Mountains. Kind-
lug a number of gendarmes who were
sent to recupture him. ho llunlly, after
two months' traveling, lauded In south
ern Russia, made his way across the
German frontier to n German port and
sailed for America.
Kqtially ns sceptical about the Inten
tions of tho Russian Government wero
a number of others, former elles and
men who havo served long terms in Si
berian prisons, culled "katorg.t." Among
these wero Julius Lighter, of O.'O North
Sixth street, und Wphralm I.erner, of
1118 Stiles street.
Lighter, who has undergone an unusual
amount of htiffiilng while In prison nnd
exile, bald that tho Russian Government
must be contemplating s,ome other bitter
Joke on the thousands of unfoituimte
who have hud tho misfortune of falling
Into Its hands btcauso of their political
activity.
"It Is needless to talk about the Inten
tions of tho ItUBbUn Government. Tho
Government is trying to stliio the enmity
nnd opposition of tho Russian people
ngaliibt tho rule of the Czar by making
another promise, which will most prob
ably be broken nt the neatest oppoitu
nlty. Wo lmvo nothing' definite to say
on tho matter; only that even If tlio
uusHian Government tloes free its poli
tical victims. Its act wilt by no means
absolvo It from the responsibility which
lies upon It In having caused the death
and destruction of scores of thousands
of the best sons and daughters of Rus
sia. Tho Czur and his Government will
pay for their crimes, even if It be with
their own heads The people uf Russia,
ut least the Intelligent part of the popti
latlon, have an awful debt to exact from
tho despots of their country, and they
will exact It when the time comes to
do so."
AWFUL RECORD OF CRIMB.
Mr. Lerner. a young man who lias aUo
Buffered a great deal while conlltitd in
Siberia and In exile, was even mote bit
ter in his comment on the intentions of
the Rusklmi Government.

It is generally agreed that thero are
lots of honest men In Gcrmantown, but
Georgo Ducklt, of Youngstown, Ohio,
vho started out to find ono early this
morning, a la Dlogones, had to be sat
isfied with Policeman Kenny, who la
cqunl to any emergency.
Kenny saw a rod light moving down
Cheltcn avenue. Ifc noticed that It took
a zigzag course and wn3 convinced it
could not bo a police patrol. He hid In
tho shadow of a building until the light
reached lilm. Ducklo was tho bearer,
and ns lie could give only a hazy expla
nation as to how he got It. tho police
man took him and the light to the
Germttntown police station.
When the prisoner was given a hearing
before Magistrate Pennock, It developed
that many other lights in Gcrmantown
were missing. Incidentally there came
walls or complaint from a dozen other
prisoners, several declnrlng that If Ducklt
had let the red lights alono last night
tncy woum nave been able to reach home
safely.
Ducklt disclaimed responsibility for the
dlsappearancn of tho other lights. Tho
Magistrate sent him to the House of
Correction for five days.
LIVES OF PHYSICIANS
CUT SHORT BY WORRY
Do Wot Xive ns Long ns Men In Other
Callings.
A Httlo newspaper item, stuck off In
ono cornor of the page, recently told hov
a doctor had died of apoplexy on the
steps of an elevated railroad station. Of
course, any ono might dlo of apoplexy;
nnd yet this cause of death la not ai
rare among doctors us in many other
occupations, says the Hygienic Gazette.
It's a strange thing to say about doc
torswhose business it Is to keep other
people well that as a class they arc
moro sunject to illness than nny other,
nnd their expectation of long life Is les,
than In most other callings. This pro
fession has tin average of 57 years at
death much too premature In these day.i.
Thero aro several reusons for this:'
There Is tho anxiety and the responsi
bilities that weigh heavily upon doctois.
who are generally men of conscience and
sjmpnthy. Then there Is the amount
nnd the trying nature of most of the
doctors' work the Iriegular meals ami
tho broken rest, exposure to tho ele
ments nnd to Infection.
And then there Is tho scanty pay which
most doctors get for their services, not
to speak of the tlllllculty of collectlnir a
gleat deal of money they have earned;
nnd when to this is added the faot that
about half a doctor's work nowadays Is
done in hospitals and dlsponsnrles for
charity, who can wonder at the over
whelming strain to which these Immune
men ure put.
Broken sleep Is one of the most cer
tain causes of tho shortened lives of
doctors. What this means can bo judged
by healing anybody not a doctor talk
about how once or twlco In his lifetime
ho had had his night's rest broken. Pos
sibly he has sat up with tho coifln of a
dead friend. Mnyhe ho hns given a tou
plo of hours from his rest to a sick
friend. Or perhaps his wlfo hns needed
a little midnight nursing.
Throughout tho rest of his days, in
season and out of season, you will llnd
him buttonholing everybody he can get
to listen to him, while he explains liH
noble self-denial and his beautiful finis-
tlnn act. jly nnd by, when ho is seen
approaching, his friends (fearing to b
told about it all over again) will dodge
down a sldo street as If trying to avoid !
a creditor. I
Yet such night work Is the common
lot of doctors, while the day's work
must go on just tho same. Relng urnutcd
In the tirst hour, when sleep Is profound
est. Is always a shock anil frequently a
grave one to tho heart nnd the nervous
system. That Is why angina pectoris, or
i.euralgla of the heart, is called tho doc
tor's disease.

WOMEN SPIES AID ARMY
OF KAISER IN BIG BATTLE
Many Germrtn Agents Captured, Snys
British Statement.
LONDON, Sept. 29.
The British Ofllctnt Press Bureau in Its
last statement describes how the terri
tory, over which the armies lmvo been
fighting for weeks. Is Infested with Ger
man spies. Women agents of the Kaiser
havo been captured. The ofllclnl jstntc
ment snys:
"lisplonago plays so large a part In
the conduct of the war by tho Oermnns
that It Is difficult to nvold Mi-tlmr refer
ence to tho subject. They have evidently
never forgotten tlio saying of Frederick
the Oront: 'When Marshal Soublnc goes
to war he Is followed by a hundred
cooks; when I tnke the Held I am pre
ceded by a hundred spies.'
"Indeed, until nbout twenty ymrs ago,
there was n palagrnph In their field
service regulations directing thnt the
service of 'protection In tho field' e. g.
outposts nnd advance guards should al
ways be supplemented by a system of
csjlonnse.
"Though such Instructions are no longer
made public, the Germans, bb Is well
known, still carry them Into effect.
Apart from the more elnbornto nrr.ingi
ments which were made In pence time
for obtaining Information hv paid agents,
some of the methods which are being
' employed for the collection or convey
, once of Intelligence are ns follows:
'.Men In plnln clothes signal to the
German lines from points In the hands
of the enemy by moans of colored lights
at night Hnd puffs of smoke from chim
neys by day. 1'seudo laborers, working
In the fields between tho armlr-s, liavn
been detected conveying Information, and
persons In plnln clothes have acted tts ud
vnnced scouts to the German cavalry
when advancing. German ollhers and
soldiers In plain clothes or In French or
British uniforms havo remained in locali
ties, ovneuated by the Germans In ord'T
to furnish tliem with Intelligence.
"One spy of this kind was found by
our troops hidden In n church tower. 11 In
presence was only discovered through the
erratic movementH of the hands of the
fhureh cloik, which he was using to
slgnnl to his friends by means of nn Im
provlsid semaphore eode. Hnd this mall
not bfen j-elzeil it ! probable h" would
have signaled to the German artillery nt
tho time of tin Ii nriival the extirt loca
tion of the hendquurterH and staff J
high explosive shell would then have
mysteriously dropped on the building.
"Women iples lmvo also been caught;
secret ngunts have been found nt the
railroads observing entrnlnments and de
tralnments. It Is a t-Imple matter for
spies to mix with the refugees moving
about to their homed: dllllcult for our
troops, who peak neither -French nor
German, to detect them.
"The Frfnch lmvo found it necessary
to search villages and also cusual way
farers on the roads for carrier pigeon".
Among the precautions taken by us to
guard ngalnst spying Is the publication
of the following notice, printed in Fronch,
and posted up:
Motor cars and blcyclcn not carrying
soldiers In uniforms may not circulate
on tho roads.
The Inhabitants may not leave tho
localities where they reside between 6
p. m and 0 a m.
In'.nbltnnts may not quit their homes
after 8 p, m.
S'o person may on any pretext pass
through the British lines without an
authorisation countersigned by a British
otllccr."

100.000 and a probable majority of S.",000
over John A. Uemicasy, the untl-Murphy
candidate.
Republican District Attorney Charles
S. Whitman, with nn estimated plur
ality of about 15,000 or 60.000, a margin
that his campaign managers say is sur
pilslngly huge over Hnrvey D. Hlniuan
and Job 13. Hedges, who ran second and
