'ACCIDENT’ 001
Came Out of the Mist From
Above When English Airmen
Thought They Were Over
Germany.
London,—People of the quiet Dutch
city of Maastricht, on a sort of pe
ninsula bounded on the weat by Ger
many and on the east by Belgium,
have been striving hard to maintain
the neutrality of their kingdom. They
were startled Tuesday morning, Sep
tember 22nd, by the descent of a bomb
from the mist overhead nnd a great
explosion followed by the crash of
glass.
An aeroplane had swooped down to
ward the roofs of the town and drop
ped a bomb. The propectlle fell near
the Brussels gate of the old town,
tore limbs from trees, ripped gashes
In the walls of a house and shatter
ed a number of windows. Several
citizens attempted to follow tbe course
of the aeroplane In motor ears, but It
soon was lost to sight.
Lost Its Way.
The Dutch government Immediately
took steps to Inquire of the Herman
nnd Belgian governments whether any
flying men of their armies were re
sponsible for the unpleasant sur
prise. The sequel developed the next
day when the British press bureau an
nounced a raid by British aviators
aimed at the Zeppelin establishments
In Dusseldorf and Cologne. The
British aerial expedition started from
Antwerp, nnd while the section bound
for Dusseldorf reached Its destination,
the Cologne contingent confessed that
It lost Its way In the fog.
Regret Evpreeeed.
The British minister nt The Hague
todnv expressed the regret of the
British government et the Incident,
says a dlsptnrh from that capita!. Ho
explained the bomb was - dropppd nr
eldentallv by an aeroplane which hnil
lost Its hearings.

U. S. MINISTER
HELD CAPTIVE
Rev. A. A. Williams Arrested
At Brussels. Denounced by
Germans as “Pig” and Show
ered With Curses.
London, 4:53 a. m.—Albert A. Wil
liams. pastor of the Maverick Congre
gational Church of Boston, has reach
ed London after arrest and Imprison
ment In Brussels at the hands of the
German military authorities on the
charge of being an English spy and
with trying to buy Information con
cerning the movement of German
troops.
Notes made by Mr. Williams for a
sermon on the horrors of war fell
Into the hands of the Germans when
he was arrested. A German lieuten
ant thought they constituted code
messages. Mr. Williams was arrest
ed nnd taken to German military
headquarters.
Released by Whitlock,
He was held along with thirty other
prisoners, mostly Belgians and put
through a drastic examination. He
was not permitted to communicate
with Brand Whltlork, the American
minister. Finally he persuaded a Ger
man student that he was not a spy
and he managed to get a letter to Mr.
Whitlock, who brought about his re
lease,
Mr. Williams says that during the
two days of his Imprisonment he and
the other prisoners were denounced
by the Germans as pigs and showered
with oaths In an effort to frighten
them. The Belgian prisoners re
garded Williams as a friend but they
all were reluctant to talk as they
fe ired the Germans had spies among
them.
