Max J. Merrltt writes to h'.a parents,
raping at Liege, only some hundred miles
from where we were st Brussels, was
one of the first determined tests of
strength of this colossal wsr. Somehow
suspicion of th seriousness of the situ
ation heKan to creep Into the minds of
the great crowd of tourists and travelers,
mostly Americans, who had been driven
into Brussels from Germany and France.
"They began to pour out of Brussels
across the channel to England. We
rather liked the excitement of Brussels
and the sense of being near the line of
battle. So we stayed on. Finally on
Tuesday morning we were faced by a
rather bad situation. . We were told that
on that day the Inst train and boat would
leave for England, since Englsnd pro-
posed to declare war with Germany,
which would automatically break service J
with the continent. 1 went out Jio get
money for the Journey. At the express
check offices, I waa told no money
could be given out for checks. iAicklly
I had drawn a liberal allowance the day
before.
Packed Hurriedly.
"We hurriedly packod our effects. At
the atatlon pandemonium reigned. Bag
gage 'was heaped In masses. Foreigners
of all nations .iiI clashes were clamor
ing for seats In the If is train that would
carry them out of the, xone of trouble.
A babel of strange voices and strange
sounds filled the air. .At the last minute
we Jumped into a filth JrJ third-class car,
crowded to suffocation, md we were off
for Ostend to connect, With th English
boat. That boat was iH alght when the
refugees acrambled abird. Ordinarily
It carries about 500 pa!engers comfort
ably, but 1,300 people Jorambled aboard
and disposed of themselves and their
baggage picturesquely In passageways,
over decka, everywhere, thsi a foot of
space presented Itself. It Is a three
hours' channel passage from Ostend to
Dover. To aay that the t)aasengers were
panicky puts It mildly. Home of the ner
vous were sure that 'wl would be sunk

While we were looking at the nationless
hulls of the English warshipe. "ddenly
on either side of our packet twe" aubma
rlne boata pushed their noses oi ' ot tne
waters and showed their long, 1,m tor
pedo-shaped backs. A man in our
bridge gave the proper signal, and- evl
dently satisfied with our unwarlikf looks,
the submarine ecouts slipped quleVy off
on the blackening waters for al1 tne

again there waa a rush for train
London. Just after we had gone up)the
landing stair, a man behind us was haf tA ,
and searched as a spy. This spy-huntY"
la going on all over Europe. Indeed, ?
one In America can imagine the bitty
national hatreds that have ben loose
and the atmosphere of suspicion that hi'
been created. To me it Is Incomprohensc
ble. While we were In Brussels we sa
j something of that spirit. A number il
German buainess houses have been estab
lished In Brussels. These have given em
ployment to Belgian employes. Employ-,
ers and employed have lived peacefully
and happily side by side. In the best of'
neighborly spirits. !
Peace Turned Into Tnrmoll. I
"Now comes a declaration of war fer j
which these peaceful and Industrious Oer
mana are not responsible, for which only
the German military clique can be held to
account, und Immediately the former
neighbors become a howling mob, mob-,
bing their former friends, smashing the
w Indows ot their stores and homes and t
destroying their -property. The treatment
of the noncombatant In the early stages
of this great imbroglio la nothing more or
less than a repudiation of all tho fine
principles of civilisation and a reversion
to barbarism, and if this madnesa i only
a precursor of what is to come, when suf
fering and sacrifice puts a rasor edge to
national passions, God knows what will
be the outcome.
"The situation at beat la dreadful to
contemplate. It is complicated now that
England has thrown Itself into the ring.
I had a wonderful vivid impreaalon given
me ot English might upon the waters
Just a week before this European confla
gration broke out. Coming up the chan
nel on the way from New Xrk we passed
Splthead. It happened that the great Eng
lish home fleet was aasembled there for
maneuvers and review by the king. The
review had Just finished and the wonder
ful fleet of 400 fighting units had broken
Into two divisions when our ship, the
Vaderland, passed down between the lines.
Awe-losptrlaeT Sight. .
"Rarely have I seen so awe-lnaplrlng a
sight. Aa far aa the eye could reach, the
black hulls and lofty fighting tops
stretched away and until In the far dis
tance the fighting tops of far-off battle
ships looked like black pins against the
deep blue of the horlxon. I counted
seventy-five battleships with double fight
Ing tops, while the torpedo boats and de-
stroyers swam In shoals near and far.
"In twos. In columns In long embattle
fronts, they maneuvered and curvetted a
responsive to the mind and command of
the admra!-ln-rhlef as the rawns on a
chess board to the fingers of a master
player. Uttle did I think when I witched
that wonderful display of sea fiBhtin
pewer that In less than a fortnight It
would be hurled at an enemy across the
narrow seas. All that I can say Is, God help
the fleet that encounters this English fleet
with the glorious traditions from the
Spanish armada to Trafalgar to Inspire It,
and British pluck and indomitable cour
age to nerve It In the critical hour."
Ex-Sleuth Pickard
Gives Version of
Wilkerson Arrest
With reference to the arrest and re
lease of a former associate Burns sleuth,
who Is now selling land for a Kansas City
land company. Mr. Pickard made the fol
lowing statement:
"Since my exoneration In the bribery
charges, both the Dallv News and the
I Rums aranev hm-. ricralatent Iv pndriv.
ored to injure and discredit me and pre
vent iny ohtaln'ng employment. Ths
third man who followed me to thla city
In an effort to get some evldfnce to de
feat my suit against the Burns people
for about $3,000, which they owe me under
contract, was J. N. Wilkerson, working
In the Kansas City office of W. J. Burns.
I first met Wilkerson about two yesrs
ago at Cameron. Mo., where he and his
traveling partner were taking orders for
crayon portraits. When his partner ws)
arrested I assisted Wilkerson financially,
as he was destitute, and secured a posi
tion for him selling lots. Later I se
cured him a position with the Kansas
City office of the Burns agency, and In
every way befriended him and tried to
put him on his feet. I learned soon after
meeting lilm that he was wanted at Line
vllle. Ia., for beating a lady who runs a
hotel at that place out of a board bill.
He admlted this to Chief Msloney when
I interviewed him at' the city jail Thurs
day. "Tired of being followed and shadowed
by the Burns people and the Dally News,
I notified the police department that this)
man was wanted In Iowa. I believe the
authorities in Llneville will confirm my
statement unless Wilkerson has adjusted
the matter for his own safety. Wilkerson
waa not abused either by Chief Maloney
or myself, and with the knowledge I now
have of the man I doubt If his past record
or his present associations In Kansas
City would bear the full light of Investi
gation. At any rate, he la typical of the,
men the Dally News employ to do the'r
dirty work. Their reason Is plain, for
they know I am preparing a suit for libel
against the News."

! SAILORS BULLIED NO LONGER
Morals and Manners of Warships
Have Been Revolutionised
In New TSmTT.
The new ship haa transformed the
sailor with itself. He works amovg a
subtle and intricate network of machin
ery. Ills brain Is quickened by the ef
fort to understand the new forces and
appliances that he controls. He Is drawn
no longer from the lower strata of the
population of our ports, but In Increasing
proportions from the ranks of skilled
mechanics. The electricians and machin
ists, who are the aristocracy of the crew,
bring with them the notions which pre
vail among the aristocracy of tabor out
of uniform. They are bred up tn a trade
union tradition. They possess more read
ing and more science than did nine out of
ten of the officers in the old days. They
have a respect for themselves and their
class, which haa revolutionised the morals
and manners of tha modern warahlrv Th
gradual reform of the service regulations
has sought to keep pace with this trans-
forms tton, and officers have been edu
cated In a wholly new conception of their
relationship to their men. The bullyln?
and hectoring which waa the rule of the
aea In the old days la today the rare ex
