BROGAN IS IN FAVOR OF
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Francis A. Brogan spoke last evening
before the Kconomlc league Insupport of
the constitutional convention! the moat
effective meana of formulirttng and ac
complishing reform and amendment to
tha constitution.
lie enumerated three plans by which
this might be done, namely: By resolu
tlons submitted to the legislature; 1 slllng
a constitutional convention, and by Ini
tiative measures. In aelertlnTf the conven
tion form as the most efficient, he aald
advisable amendments could be thor
oughly dlecusaed by membera of the con
vention and a clear and concise view of
nroDosltlon be planed before the
peopl for sanction.
In anawerlng the objection that a con
stitutions! convention 1 too loW,' Mr.
Brogan declared that if the constitution
be an embodiment of fundamental law,
fixing a definite kind of government,
thre or four year for It establish

of tiro.
II pointed out that tha present consti

entirely Inadequate for present flay

James L. r)rvln. In an editorial In

thla prevailing opinion. He polnta out
that for a fortnight past th German
public has teen encouraged by Berlin to
believe that an overwhelming victory wa
at hand despite the fact that for eight
een day the German force,1 In a mass
movement, have tried their utmost, with
repetitions of failure and deadly loss, to
withstand th attack of the allies.
Ikatloae Change Character.

"It's odd that the two great military
nations seem to have exchanged their
supposed characters. Berlin at th
start was full of levity and rage and of
cheap shout of 'On to Pari. Blooe
then Oacmany ha done nine-tenth of th
vaporing. "V
"The French, all, however, ar cold
with fortitude and tenacity, and their
operations have been more anomalous
than those of the Japan. W hear
very Jlttle of their generals or of their
deeds, yet Joffre's method somehow
seem to make a more and mora dominat
ing impression of deliberate personality.

GHENT, Belgium. Bept. 28 (Monday.)
(8peclal Cablegram to New York World
and Omaha Bee.) What 1s In some re
spects th most remarkable incident In
the whole course of the Belgian campaign
evacuation, but I may attempt a general
outline. Yeeterdar afternoon the Her
mans sent fifty sple dlrgulaed ref
ugees from village further afield. They
ram and melted awny. Then more
"peasants" sppeared, bringing household
goods with them on little carts drawn
by dog. Belgian lancers and rycUf
were In strong force In the center ot the
town and the streets Here full of piople,
mauy of them preparing of their own
free w-111 for the trek which- afterward
became compulsory and universal.
Suddenly the "peasants" swung round
their little carts and flung away the cov
erings from the contents and poured from
machine guns a hall of lead Into soldiers
and civilians alike. ;
Mother Loses Children,
On the Ghent road thla afternoon I saw
a woman who waa conspicuous by her
sobs among the tens of thousands In this
niost lamentHQje of processions fhe had
lost her two children "shot here and
here," she said, touching her neck end
forehead. Several women also wera
killed.

Alost, a town of 33,2"0
evacuated by the entire civilian popula
tion. Not a Belgian remained In the place
by t o'clock thla afternoon.
Thla la the anawer to the "Crime of
Termonde." Termonde. seven mllea to
the north waa wiped out ,wlth a com-'
pleteness never knowti to history, and In
the process hundreds of defenseles peo
ple perished. To save Alost, thre times
tho size, from a similar fate, the govern
ment haa taken the wise, though sen na
tional step of ordering a complete aban
donment down to the last maul woman
and child. If tho Germans destroy Alost
aow they will be doubly cursed, for not a
soul remains to challenge their occupa
tion. City Entirely Deserted.
Testerday there were 40,000 people, civ
ilians all, (tuletly pursuing their avoca
tions under the shadow of the coming
terror In Aloet and surrounding village.
When the place waa entered by German
force thla afternoon It was as quiet as
a aepulcher. I spota to the last man out,
two miles from the edge of town. He
was an elderly Englishman, riding around
en a blcycl to j find what damage had
been done by a shell a few hours earlier
to the great Gothic church of St. Mar
tin. He wa accosted by a Belgian offi
cer. "If you don't want your throat silt.
come out of this," said th soldier,
hustling him, cycle and ail. Into an ar
mored car.
What la happening In Alost tonight we
only guess, but, I know that when the
German advanoe guard came In they
found all doors of all houses open, all
furniture there, all food In all larders
ready to be eaten, all wine to be drunk,
all beds to be slept In all that an army
could desire to satisfy its love of com
fort and pride of cdhquest.

It Is not possible yet to obtain coherent
account of what led up to the great
daybreak onward they have been stream
ing out by the highroad. Yet even so
pitiable a crowd hardly escaped a bom
bardment. At 10 o'clock shells began to
drop into the town. The church Is said
to have been struck, but not badly damaged.
BELGIANS THREATEN TO
USE BUTCHERKNIVES
LONDON, Sept. fa Americans who ar
rived today from Bruasel say most of
their countrymen are now leaving that
city, fearing outbreaks owing to the
strong feeling among the population
against the Germans.
As an evidence of this attitude among
the Brussels people It Is cited that after
Burgomaster Max waa arrested, numer
ous placards were posted warning the
Germans that If the burgomaster was in
jured the people of Brussels had petrol,
vitriol and butcher knives and would us
them.
While the German troop ,wera taking a
party of captured Belgian soldier through
tha city on Bunday the crowd became so
threatening that In the confusion two of
the prisoners escaped. The Germans
promptly arrested six civilians to take
their places, It Is said.

"It was easy to observe the result of
