FRIDAY, AUGUST 21
i AMERICAN DOCTORS
WORKED IN BELGIUM
Treated German Wounded in a Harrowing Trip Around
Liege. Say Troops Were Marching Part Night and Day
in Masses. Cannon Inscribed “Nach Paris.”
London.— Dr. W. H. Aurand of Min
neapolis, and Dr. Robert Riser of Chi
cago, accompanied by their wives and
children have arrived in London after
over a fortnight of harrowing exper
iences in the theatre of war, and par
ticularly between Liege and Aix-la-
Chappelle. Their adventures included
three days work in a hospital at Ver
viers, Belgium, where German wound
ed were being brought. The two doc
tors left Vienna, Aug. 3 for Ostend.
They got as far as Welkenraedt, Bel
gium, where their train was stopped.
They proceeded by wagon to Verviers,
because a railroad tunnel had been
blocked by the Belgiums. They re
mained at Verviers until Aug. 11.
Checks and paper money were utterly
useless. The two Americans and their
families found lodging in the hall of
the Salvation Army. They had meals
twice a day and enjoyed meat on
alternate days. Prices were rising
and food w r as scarce.
On Aug. 11 they obtained passes
from the German commander for
Alx-laChapelle and were accorded free
use of the German military wagons.
In Solid Columns.
Drs. Aurand and Rizer were just in
advance of the German army on their
way from Welkenraedt to Verviers.
They noted soldiers on the road in
solid columns. At Aix-la-Chapelle
they saw troops marching by day and
nihgt for three days.
They estimated the number at 1.-
500,000, all with brand new equipment.
The soldiers they treated in the hos
pital at Verviers even wore new un
der-clothes, they said. The Ameri
cans saw thousands of German can
non labelled “Nach Paris.”
Kind to Them.
The German soldiers were kind to
to the American travelers, even fetch
ing water for the women and buying
milk for the children. The German
authorities, however, refused to allow
twenty English people to leave Ver
viers. This party included several
persons of wealth and some members
of the nobility. They suffered greatly
from want.
The loyal populace of Aix-la-Cha
pelle showered the passing Geriman
troops wit food, cigars and cigarettes.
They set out within easy reach buck
ets of water in which they could wash
their faces.
The German soldiers said they in
tended a peacable entry into Bergium
and that they were paying for all the
supplies used. They declared German
troops had been maneuvering in Bel
gium for a period of two weeks prior
to the outbreak of hostilities. The

DON’T MISS ANY OF IT
German attitude, was that their troops
must make use of Belgium. They did
not intend to disturb the people, but
they would engage in sharp reprisals
if attacked.
Villages in Flames.
The strange belief that Great Brit
ain and Holland were at war caused a
German commander to advise the
Americans to avoid Holland. The same
belief was prevalent at Alx-la-Oha
pelle. Frederick Bruch Holz, who left
Aix-la-Chapelle one day in advance of
the others, drove to the Dutch frontier
near Maastricht. Here some civilians
had fired on the invaders and as a
result three villages were in flames
and the women were fleeing to the
Holland side of the line in their night
clothes with crying children at their
heels.

nervous system and thousands of women
have delightedly told how they were free
of nausea, had no morning sickness and
went through the ordeal with most re
markable success. "Mother’s Friend’’ has
been growing In popular favor for more
than forty years. In almost every com
munity are grandmothers who used It
themselves, their daughters have used it
ind they certainly must know what a
blessing It is when they recommend it

prevent caking of breasts.

EVERYTHING FOREION IS
ERADICATED IN BERLIN
French Signs Torn Down and English Restaurants Wrecked.
Advice of U. S. Embassy to Americans is “Leave as Soon
As You Can.”
The Hague (via London). —Many
Americans are loathe to leave the
German capital, according to a news
paper man who has just reached this
city from Berlin.
"Everything foreign has been erad
icated from Berlin during the last
fortnight,” he said. A shop in Fried
richsstrasse, which was called the
Prince of Wales, was well nigh
demolished by a mob. Everywhere
French signs were torn down. A
restaurant in Kurfeurstein-Damm
was destroyed by a crowd after the
orchestra played a Russian air. No
French words are allowed to appear
anywhere, even on bills of fare.
"I asked a waiter in a restaurant
for a certain English sauce. He re
plied angrily: ’We no longer serve
that cursed English stuff.’
Didn’t Realize.
Most American traveling in Ger
many have not yet come to realize the
real gravity of the situation. They
seem to think the war a kind of play
and cannot realize war in Germany is
not like war in Mexico.
“Several Americans were arrested
at Mannheim because they were pho
tographing a railway station and the
American ambassador had the great
est difficulty in obtaining their re
lease. Ambassador Gerard is kept
busy rescuing imprisoned Americans
or helping others of his ’countrymen
who need advice or money,
"Always the advice of the embassy
is ‘Leave the country as soon as you
can.’ But the Americans with true
Yankee obstinacy reply, 'why leave
when we are comfortable here?’
Whereupon they are told, ’yes, but
next week there may be no meat or
bread or perhaps the Russians will
