Friday, October 9th, 1914, awas a day of anxiety and fear for the city of Antwerp and the villages situated in- side the fortified position. The Ger- mans were: within our midst, and from 9 o'tlock in the morning the oldiers of the Kalger began lo ex- tend their positions around the for- tress, along the youtes from the east and southéeast. What was to be- come of Capellen? was. a que stion asked by all of us. : All along the paths of the park of Starrenhof (residence of Mrs. Be- land-Cogels),on the Antwerp-Holland highway in front of the Towa Hall, groups of peeple who were left, - ered to déscuss the situation.

Each of us had different ideas, but the most plausible explanation was that a Zep- pelin, flying over the village; had dropped a bomb into the yard of the chateau, Then the true explanation burst upon us suddenly. The fort nearest to the chateau was that of Erbrand, distant about one kiflome tre from us The commanding offi- dér of the garrison had ordered the fort blown up. previops to its evacua- tion. The shock wag so tremetidous thae an oil lamp burning in the hall where we sat 'was extinguished, and The bombardment of the city had broken egectric light wires and the gas con- duits were wrecked, so that oil lamps and candles were cur only means of obtaining light Naturally .the explosion did not tend to soothe our nerves, and the entire family remained i gethe ir ina the corn a few drops of a drug called |... naj) for the rest of the night. freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.

He had two sous in the Belgian army. This proposal was accepted unani- mously . I accordingly left to see Mr. Spaet, wending my way through the line of fugitives who were stil lerawding the highway at this early hour of the morning.' Mr. Spaet was at home In reply to my questions, he said he had no advice to'give me, but insofar as he, himself, was concerned he intended to go back to bed as soon as I .left him. I retyrned to the chateau somewhat reassured, and addressing the members of the family and our friends who had in the meantime made preparations to leave for Hol- land, I said: "Every one goes back to bed."
