She had hard leyes, a grim mouth, a in her bony-knuckled (in later years | revisited that first school room. To my in tense surprise | found it small, as school rooms go, the quite tiny, and the teacher's rostrum and desk but of ordin- ary size. And now | know that teacher was a rather frail old maid, tired out and crabbed from long years of trying to cram erudition down the throats of young and fractious chil- dren, but a kindly old soul at héart, if narrow.) My first recollections of that first day in school are hazy, but far from pleasant. I know the room wae bar- cold and joyless, I know we to ait very straight and keep still, T remember that teacher id, clipping her words, ing her ruler in hoth hands ly that the knuckles showed white under the stretched skin: “Now, children, you and | are going to come to an understanding RIGHT NOW." But I didn't understand her tn the least. I never did. 1 was homesick and going to school wasn't the fun my brutal big sister the Seattle-|had said it would be. I remember a fat little girl sat across the aisle from me, She, too, was homesick and scared. I saw her chin wabble, Two large tears rolled down her cheeks, It was too |much! I raised my voice in an- guish: “| WANT MY MUH-THERI” The fat little girl took up the re- frain, and the whole roomful joined} in the doleful chorus.

Their cavalry, sweeping south- ward to the neighborhood of Com- pl e and Scissons, have been e: gaged for 48 hours with the com- bined French and British cavairy. The fighting covers a wide area, but Is mostly skirmishing.

BELGIAN CONSUL DENIES CHARGES Joseph Hertogs, Belgian vice consul at Seattle, has received of. ficial notification from the Belgian secretary of foreign affairs at Brus- sels of a strenuous denial of the charges made by Count Bernstorff, -|German ambassador to the United | States, of atrocities alleged to have been perpetrated by Belgians. The Belgian government tmmedi- ately instructed its minister at Washington “to introduce an indig- nant protest against these utterly false allegations.” This official | protest reads in part as follows “The Belgian government pro tests energetically against the ve- racity of the allegations put forth by Germany, The United States consul general at Antwerp denies women and children have sustal ed bodily injuries, and assures that, with the exception of a few bars sacked, no German property has been destroyed, Belgium will also ask for an international investiga- tion of the German cruelties com APPRAISE SHIP 8.

In Kast Prussia, the victory won by the Russians when the German garrison of the Konigsberg citadel attempted a sortie was decisive, Auto Guns Kill Many The Germans’ attempt is said to! have been made under cover of darkness, the garrison’s rength being thrown inst the czars troops. Automatic guns mounted on auto trucks did effect- ive work, and for @ time inflicted | considerable losses on the Rus- sians.
