In mv measure from Antwerp I had
orrty time to plve a. glimpse of the
King's entry and of the scenes in the
streets. It w&n rulnlnc then, hut as
Ik oon tho Klnfr crossed the Scheldt by
I" the ferrj'boat, which takes over mptor-
"cars nH well as men, the sunsnine Drone
through the wet mists and brought out
the color of all this p.tereantry which had
been gray before. Antwerp Is a city In
I wnicn memevansni lives wun mouern
lltvl nnd where old spires and towers of
t churchei and houses, built .300 years
s ago and more, are wedged In between
publla buildings, shipping and banking
offices, hotels and shops belonging to
the growth of prosperity In the half
century before tho war. But Tuesday,
with long banners and standards floating
down Its streets nnd hoisted upon pin
nacles of the belfry and falling In waves
Of rich color from many balconies, there
"" was a sense of old things rather than of
new. and the ancient history of this sea
port, with Its merchant princes, was
about as one walked.
So It was with the people In the
streets. A .Boy Scout perched on my
motorcar to guide the way, nnd the
Antwerp policemen wero so like the Lon
don bobbles that I wanted to ask the
time of them. Just for old time s sake,
and the crowds were made up of well-
dressed men and women, such ns one
might see. In Liverpool on a day of pub
Ho festival.
Flmrts of I't Days
But among these crowds were 'figures
belonging to tne past, ns ono seen u m
old Flemish pictures. Franciscan friars,
with their cowls turned back so that one
saw their shaven crowns, raised them
selves, on tlptoo of their sandaled feet
to get a glimpse of the King. From lat
tice windows, under high gables round
about tho cathedral, nuns poked their
heads out and laughed and cheered and
wept a little as the Uelglan froldlers
carried their colors past the King. The
bishop paced down tho narrow avenue
between the peoplo behind the" guards,
and there were nerous sounds every
few' minutes and shrill cries when the
mointcd soldiers put the weight of their
- horses against them.
Commissaries of police, in cocked hats,,
exhorted the peoplo to keep their lines,
but they were closed In by wild rushes
When tho King and Queen came In the r
motor behind a cavalry escort. Their
cars were laden with flowers, which had
been given to them. On tho steps of the
i Hotel de Vllle Oie sun glinted on the
gold work on that maBterplecc of the
Flemish guilds, nnd now from scores of
windows more flowers foil, so thnt they
drove through a flurry of red and white
' petals. . ,
Before they went to the saluting baso
thcro was n procession which made emo-
" tlon pass down the lines of tho people
like a wave. It was u crowd 'of men
walking very slowly by tho help of
crutches nnd sticks, with a banner above
th$m. Some of them were In the uni
form of the Belgian nrmy of 1914. and
others wore armlets of the Belgian
colors. They were the men who had
beon In the blege of Antwerp In October
of tho first year of the wan nnd wlth
their bodies had barred tho way for a
little whllo to the Invading hordes.
Ilelglnn Troops Marrh Post
The march past of the Belgian troops
who had fought In tho later battles at
Dlxmudo and nt Tervyso, on the mud
banks of the Yser and at Merckem, a
month or two-ago. was a stirring thing
to see". The people had been waiting
for them to come Into tho city again
after four long years. Just four yearB
ago I used to see men like this covered
In mud and blood, laid out In rows on
stretchers. I saw many of them die.

werp yesterday had lived1 to sen tho
lbcratioriv of their country, und they
were the lucky ones.
There wis a To Ileum In the cathedral,
but I could, get no further than the
transept beciruse of tho crowds there
straining to get a glimpse of the King.
Before tho high altar I could see the
"Descent From the Cross," by Rubens,
with Its rich color like a great bouquet
or painted Window throush which the
light shines, nnd nbove the peoplo long
silken bnnners were drnped from the tall
pillars. The nlr was heavy with In
cense; and music and tho murmur of
voices camo down the aisles, meeting
the milrmurous whispering of those
about me, nnd through the open door
out thcro in the niuire, where other
crowds were around the statue of Peter
Paul Itubcns.
Ovvr all Antwerp bells were, ringing
their notes, mingling In a strange clash
ing melody; and from the betfry of the
cathedral the chimes of tho gay carillons
camo tinkling down. They wero play
ing tho "Marseillaise."
Belgian g.rls made grave little
speeches, ns though learned by heart,
thanking Ilnglnnd for all she had done
for Belgium. Some of them had been
refugees In Ungland for a year or more
and learned our language before renting
back by way of Holland. Withal It is
good to know that real lovo of us Is in
their hearts.
Two men In the crowd were not Bel
gians. They stood saluting to people
who raised their hands to them as they
passed. They were tall, sturdy fellows,
with dark eyes nnd ruddy cheeks, nnd
I saw they were Italian prisoners of
war. They were captured by the enemy
several months ngo and had lived infer
ably until the nrmlstlcc, with hard work
and little food. One man had been In
Chicago nnd gone back to Itnly to fight
for his country ns soon ns the cnll rnmc.
Now they were happy, like tens of thou
sands of their men, who tramped many
miles since the day when the Oermans
iald : "You can go. We have no more
use for you."
In the crowds at Antwerp I heard
nbout the Inst days of the cnemv In
that city, which some of them hoped
fo keep forever The Oerman headquar
ters stnff, which was established nt the
Hotel Terminus, read the terms of the
arcimlstlco with long fnees nnd were
profoundly downcast. Then one high
officer, speaking for tho others, said:
"It cannot bo helped. We have done
all wo could to win this war and we
lost. Now we must pay tho prlco of
defeat."
Ked Flag Frlchtrns Ofllrrrs
Most of tho high ofllcers left in a
hUrry, but others who could not leave
before their men were very frightened
when tho red flag was raised, as I have
already told. German marines, in or
ganized revolutionary armv committees,
for several days ruled Antwerp. Issuing
a proclamation to the people not to In
tervene nnd ordering them to stay Inside
their houses between 8 o'clock In, the
evening nnd 5 In the morning. Parties
of them, led by noncommissioned ofllcers,
went nround the cafes and restaurnnts
searching for officers, revolver In hand,
and tore off their epaulettes nnd nil
badges of rank One young officer who
resisted was shot dead. Others submitted
Instantly.
Most of this work was done by Ger
man marines, but the Infantry also took
part In It. There was no orderly with
drawal from Antwerp, but gradually the
Germans filtered out in small groups and
by twos and threes until not one was left
a few days ngo. Tho pilot of the ferry
boat over tho Scheldt told me the Her
mans attempted to fraternize with the
Belgian people toward tho end.
"But It wns too late," he said.
Antwerp has Us lights up nt night,
nnd ns darkness fell yesterday and I
looked back at It across the Scheldt, all
Its wharves and docks and the old castle
called tho Stecn, and the huge tower of
the cathedrnl nnd many spires and hcl
files and roofs wero all glamorous, like
a dream city, nnd wnr had not changed
or spoiled the beauty of this seaport.
