Story of Another Eyewitness.
A Dutch resident of Louvain who
was a salesman In a bicycle store
says: “At midday on Tuesday there
was a fearful uproar In the streets
while we were at dinner. The crackle
of musketry was soon followed by the
roar of artillery. Hearing shrieks in
the streets I rushed to the window and
saw several houses in flames. Soldiers
were smashing shop windows and loot-
ing in all directions. One had an arm-
ful of groceries and others stocked up
with boxes of cigars. As the people
rushed into the streets from their
burning houses they were shot down
like rabbits.”
The Dutchman told how he had hid-
den with his employers in the cellar.
The shooting became more brisk after
nightfall. Presently they found their
own house blazing and had to choose
between making a dash for their lives
or roasting.
Bodies Thick In the Streets.
They had escaped by representing
themselves as Germans, and a knowl-
edge of the German language enabled
them to carry out the Impersonation.
They were conducted to the railway
statiojMPtft-£»erman soldiers. The sales-
man Continues:
"8m\Halk through the streets to the
railway station was like a walk
through hell. The beautiful town was
a sea of flames. Bodies of the dead
lay thick in the streets. Dreadful
cries came from many houses. We
reached the railway station at 5:30
o’clock in the morning. The soldiers
were still going about the streets with
lighted brands and explosives In their
-■hands, setting alight any buildings
that remained intact. In the parks they
had already begun to bury the dead.
In many cases In the shallow graves
in the large park each body was vis-
ible.
Citizens Lined Up and Shot.
"At the railway station we-9 50 citi-
V fens, men and women, who had been
1 brought from houses from which sol-
diers swore shots had been fired. They
■were lined up in the streets, protest-
ing with tears In their eyes that they
were Innocent. Then came a firing
squad, and volley followed volley, and
the 50 fell dead where they stood.”
This incident was confirmed by a
Dutch journalist, who says that 500
citizens were ranged at the station,
and a tenth part were ordered shot.
Sacked by Germans.
London.—The Morning Post's corre-
spondent at Terneuzed, Holland, tells
of the burning of Louvain and charges
that many residents of that historic
Belgian city were killed.
"Louvain,” he says, "was sacked
Wednesday night by Germans. The
greater part of the population was
massacred, Including women, children
and clergy. Their nationality did not
save one English and one American
clergyman. All the noble public build
lngs, including the town hall, library
and university were destroyed.
“That Is the tale of horror disclosed
at Malines by fleeing refugees and con-
firmed by the correspondent and by
escaped notables from the destroyed
city. The atrocity seems incredible,
but it is believed here.

“Nothing remains of Louvain but
ruins, nor of its population but fugi-
tives. It is possible when the full
story comes to be told It will be found |
that the horror was not quite so great, j
For all the accounts are from people
fleeing for their lives. Among these
people, however, were four civic dig-
nitaries who were In the city during I
the night and who were actually in |
the hands of Germans, but escaped.
Their relation of facts is what is fob |
lowed in this dispatch, for It is more i
likely to be accurate and sober.
“On the road from Louvain to Ant- !
werp crowds of pitiful refugees could j
be seen; nuns fleeing from their i
cloisters, priests from their churches, |
sick carried on their beds, aged totter-
ing along with the help of their chil-
dren, and all who could, carrying some
poor article of household furniture. In
one cart were collected 17 children, ev-
idently several families.
“One handcart held an old palsied
woman being pushed by her grand-
child. All were fleeing to Antwerp as
the city of refuge, the city which shud-
ders In darkness throughout nights, at
fear of midnight bombs. Among the
train of fugitives were ambulances of
the Belgian army, in which are carried
solicitously German wounded to hos-
pitals.”
War Bureau's Account.
The British war information bureau
announces the following:
'The Belgian minister of foreign af-
fairs reports that on Tuesday a Ger-
man army corps, after receiving a
check, withdrew in disorder to ihe
city of Louvain.
"The Germans on guard at the en-
trance of the city, mistaking the na-
fure of this Incursion, fired upon their
countrymen, whom they mistook for
Belgians.
‘In spite of all the denials from the
authorities the Germans, in order to
cover their mistake, pretended that it
was the inhabitants who had fired on
them, whereas the inhabitants. Includ-
ing the police, all had been disarmed
more than a week before.
Orders City*s Destruction.
“Without Inquiry and without listen-
ing to any protests, the German com-
mander announced that the town
would be destroyed immediately. The
inhabitants were ordered to leave
their dwellings and some were made
prisoners. The women and children
were placed on trains the destinations
of which are not known and soldiers
furnished with bombs set fire to all
parts of the city. The splemfid church
of St. Pierre, the university buildings,
the library and scientific establish-
ments were delivered to the flames.
“Several notable citizens were shot.
The city, which had a population of
45,0C0 and was the intellectual metrop-
olis of the low countries, is now noth-
ing more than a heap of ashes.”
Orgy Precedes Sack.

Entre Rios, Argentine, S. A.—Some
time ago a young Brazilian attending
the University of Illinois told me that
in many portions of his country four-
tifths of the people could neither read
nor write. Une finds this state of
things throughout South America,
though in some countries, like Uru-
guay, the percentage of illiterate Is
not so great. The women are scarcelj
schooled at all. Women in South
America are far down ou life’s scale,
among the cheap things ol no impor-
tance. They are so regarded by the
men and so regard themselves, says
liatherine Reynolds in Chicago News.
Truly the poor opinion that these
women have of themselves almost
takes one'B breath at>ay.
Not long ago I was talking to my
cook. She is a native of Uruguay, and
unlike the vast majority of domestics
can read and write. One day 1 found
her plowing her way through “Don
Quixote.” That Interested me and we
talked. I found her exceptionally
bright and of a thoughtful turn of
mind. 1 drew her on and was sur-
prised to hear her express very sane
Ideas ou South American politics and
economic conditions. The girl Is an
indifferent cook, but she would make a
splendid teacher of political economy.
She gave me much interesting in-
formation and told me many signifi-
cant anecdotes bearing on the life of
these people. But what astounded me
was her closing remark.
“That, senora,” she said, “Is only
what I think and know and is of
course of no importance whatever, for
I am most certainly only a woman, not
a patriot. And a woman cannot, of
course, kuow anything of these things.
So it seems that caly men are patri-
ots here. National patriotic holidays
are not women's holidays. Woman
suffrage is In these lands only a faint,
ridiculous sort of far off echo. Indeed,
If you mentioned It even the women
would look at you with a smile of pity
for your idiocy in even dreaming that
such a thing could be.
In all these countries the top layer
of society is overeducated. This social
cream, taking much of Its style and
temper and education from England,
apes English aristocracy and scorns
work. The young South American is,
as a rule, sickeniugly effeminate. The
girls overdressed, overrouged, aping
the costumes of a Parisienne, are very
Often startling looking creatures to
American eyes. They. too. are fitted
only for society, and know as yet no
way In which to earn a living. The
masses have as yet only the crudest
sort of industrial education.
There are trades here for men and
in the cities one finds fairly competent
masons, carpenters and all other arti-
sans working under an eight-hour law.
But outside of the cities you see ess
skilled men and the wholly unskilled
less cutting and filthy delivery. You
pay 35 cents paper (an Argentine dol-
lar Is 44 cents in our money) for a kilo
—which Is about two and a fifth
pounds.
You cannot order a sirloin or porter
house steak or a proper roast because
butchering here is an unknown art.
The animal is hacked up in any weird
fashion and you get merely nameless
chunks of meat. Such a chunk is im-
paled every mori\ing on a sort of a
big wire safety pin and carried with-
out a scrap of paper about it through
the hot, dusty streets. Sometimes the
delivery boy playfully drops it Into
the filthy dust and hands it to you
smothered in dirt. Every time the
meat man comes you Just natural!)
look around for the dog.
The animal whose flesh you arc
forced to buy Is probably killed the
night before or that very same morn
ing. When you come to this bit of
knowledge you no longer wonder that
the meat Is tough and flavorless ami
you know, too, why so many of these
meat eating natives have stomuch
trouble.
If life In these pinces Is hard for
men it is a thousand times more so for
the women. There are at the present
time only a few occupations open to
women here. They may be domestics
or river washerwomen or factory
hands.

Washington.—That the V-shaped
timber flume Is a more efficient type
than the box or square-sided form is
one of the conclusions readied by the
department of agriculture In a bul-
letin Issued on flumes and fluming.
The V-shaped wooden flume requires
less water and, on the average, less
repairs than the other type, is better
adapted to act aa a slide on steep
grades, and offers fewer chances for
Jams. Concerning a third typo, the
"sectional” metal flume, semi-circular
in form, the prediction Is made that
It will come Into wide use. Such a
flume Is strong and light, and can be
quickly taken apart and transported
from one place to another to be set
up again.
When building flumes a good plan,
says the department, la to erect a
small sawmill at or near the upper
handling logs, piling, long timber or
brailed sawed lumber a height of from
forty to sixty Inches Is recommend-
ed, The best angle for tho V Is put at
90 degrees.
Proposed flume lines ought to be
surveyed as carefully as a line for a
logging railroad, to Insure evenness
of grade. Grades should be below fif-
teen per cent wherever possible, and
the best results are obtained with
grades between two and ten per cent.
Abrupt curvatures In a flume should
be avoided, for they are likely to
cause Jams. Curves should rarely be
permitted to exceed 20 degrees. It
may be necessary to blast out rocks
arid bowlders, or projecting points of
bluffs, or to trestle, or even tunnel,
1 to eliminate abrupt curves or maln-
1 tain an even grade.
Telephones are recommended as
adjuncts to the operation of a flume.
By their use a aerious break or Jam
i can be reported immediately to the
head of the flume to prevent further
i shipment of material. A telephone
also makes It possible to notify the
ren at the upper end of the flume
j just what, material to Bhlp and when |
| to ship It.
