WRITES FROM BLOIS. Mrs, Leon Lefevre and Son Driven from Their Home at Charleville, France—No Word from Husband in the War. Horrors of the European war are outlined in a letter received here Tues- day by the Maindon family, of the Green Hoilow road, from Mrs. Leon husband and their little son on the West Side. The letter was dated at Blois, September 19. The Tafevres refurned to Fyance baout three vears ago ‘and located at Charleville, on the German frontier, in the department of the Ardennes. They were getting along nicely there until the war broke out and Lefevre was called to war. Since’ then, his wife writes, she has heard no worg from him. ¥ % It Mrs. l.efevre rémained at their home with her son until, when the Germans were sweéping forward on the rush to Paris, she was awakened one night by French soldlers and heard the dread announcement, “The Germans are coming!” With such clothing as she _could hastily gather she left her home with her son, a boy of 14, on a few minutes' notice and in the early hours of a morning as dark as ever came, and with rain falling in sheets obeyed the imperative order to quit the country. After many herdships she arrived in Blois and there was fortunate enough to find employment for herself and son.

All neutral ports of the world, he ‘declared, .are crowded with ships of belligerent pow- ers.
