The party left Vienna for Ostend on August 3. Their train was stopped .at Welkenraedt, Belgium, and they drove in wagons to Verviers, where [ they were to take another train. A tunnel on the road had been blockea, however, by the Belgians and the Americans were forced to stay at Verviers until August 11. Paper Money Useless.

A party of twenty English men and women, including several persons of wealth and title, was mnot allowed to leave Verviers and the members suffered from lack of food. ‘A German officer warned the trav- ellers against going to Holland, under the belief that Germany and Holland were at war. The travellers found the same belief was prevalent at Aix- la-Chapelle. The Americans made the trip from Welkenraedt to Verviers just ahead of the German army. While at Aix- la-Chapelle they saw German troops passing day and night for three days. From what they saw of the invading army the physiclans estimated its numbers at 1,500,000. All the German soldiers had brand new equipment, even to underclothes in the case of the patients in the hos- pitals at Verviers, where the physi- cans did three days' work helping out the overworked staff. In the case of the soldiers’ shoes, the newness was a detriment, causing the men great suffering on the long marches, from swollen and blistered feet. Cannon Labelled “Nach Paris.” Cannon passed the Americans by | the thousand labelled “Nach Paris.” The German soldiers talked freely of the plans as they understood them. They said that German troops had been manoeuvring in Belgium for two weeks prior to the outbreak of hos- tilities. Their attitude was that it was necessary for Germany to send her troops through Belgium in her attack on France and that the intention was for a peaceful passage through the country without disturbing the citi- zens. If attacked, they said, they would make vigorous reprisals. The Germans said they were paying for all supplies they got in Belgium. Peoplo Furnish Food. At Aix-la-Chapelle food, cigars and cigarettes were furnished the Germar i troops by the people of the town, who also put buckets of water outside their houses so that the passing Sol- diers could wash their faces. An idea of the reprisals meant by the Germans if they were attacked was gained by Frederick Bruchholz, Who drove to the Dutch frontier near Maastricht. Civilians on the Belgian side of the border had fired on the invading Germans. As a result when Mr. - Bruchholz passed three Belgian villages were in flames and the women irhabitants and their children were fleeing across to the Dutch side. The trunks of some of the were opened and looted at besthal, the physician said. Dr. and Mrs. John Bryant of Boston arrived in London from Hamburg yesterday. Dr. Bryant said that there ire about 300 Americans still in Ham- burg, but he ‘understood that most of these are naturalized German sub- party Her- jects. ATTEMPT TO DERAIL CAR. Trolley Strikes Obstruction on Track Between Foxon and No. Branford. Guilford, Aug. 21.—Passengers on a trolley par over the Shore Line road from New Haven to Saybrook, leaving New Haven at 11:19 last night, say that there was an attempt made to derail the car between Foxon and North Branford. On the trip in from Guilford the car struck an obstruc- | tion, but as the speed had been re- | duced the wheels passed over this ob- | stacle. On the return trip Motorman Wil- am Preston ~and Smith of Saybrook, carefully watched the rails ahead. point of a previous jolt, a plank spiked to the ties. It took consider- able labor to wrench the plank loose. It is thought that the spiking was done between trips of the car. On the trip in the plank may have been loose.
