’ ( . “UPSTATE LONE ' *Tiger Will Cease Trying to Control Other Boroughs and Organizations. WILL OBEY GOVERNOR. Boss Murphy Is Not to Retire ? as Leader of the Wigwam. “Back to Manhattan!” is the new order for ‘Tammany. The Tiger no fonger will prowl up the State, nor even attempt to cross the bridge to Brooklyn. Its hunting grounds are to be limited strictly to “little old New York” as in former days, and the attention of the Chief and his braves will be devoted exclusively to building up the organization in Man- hattan Island. In conferences during the past few @ays, Leader Murphy has told his Neutenants that his “home rule Policy” will be followed by the organ! ation. Manhattan alone is Tam. many’s home. Each borough of the ‘Breatcr city can make up‘its own or- ganization and choose its own leaders. Even the Bronx will be considered outside of Tammany’s bailiwick. “This policy has long been In Mr, Murphy’s mind,” said ex-Sheriff ‘Thomas F. Foley, leader of lower Manhattan. “He wanted to put it into effect some timo ago, but was dissuaded by pressure from leaders both ih the city and upstate, When William Church Osborn was elected State Chairman, Mr. Murphy's ac- Quisence and support was an indi tion of what he intended doing. He ‘wanted to announce then what is the declared policy of to-day. “The Governor of the State is the feader of the Democratic party of the State. The organization in Man- Rattan, in the other boroughs and apstate are to recognize him and be ‘Fesponsible to him. We do not know who is to be the new State Chatr- , man. The organization in Manh tan will not seek to choose him. We @hall support any good man who ts watisfactory to the party.” , There was lively interest to-day in Tammany affairs because of a report thet Chief Murphy was to retire in favor of Secretary Thomas F. Smith. Mr. Murphy was not in town, but Secretary Smith stamped the rumor ag unfounded. He said: “The report is entirely new to me, aad I have emphatically denied it ao faras'I am conceged. L do not see . Gy sign or indication of Mr. Murphy quitting the leadership. As far as I knew, there is not a vestige of truth that any of the leaders are attempt- fag to force his withdrawal. ‘The fact that the Demdfratic jers last Monday, elected twenty- ef the thirty-one leaders in the nhattan districts favorable to Mr, ‘Murphy ‘shows that there can be no “qariows dissension in the party. ) . “Although John Hennessy had be- pind him people who pretended to have natidmel administration saup- ee Gov.

THE THREE “R'S” FOR RAISING OF BABIES. “And what do you consider the most important things for the mod- ern mother to know?” was the frst question I put to Dr, De Vilbiss when I saw her at the New York Infirmary for Women, where she is just now staying. “The three R’s for bringing up “The mother must first learn the proper ways of feeding, clothing, bathing the baby, and of giving it rest. Then she must set aside special hours for each necessary process. And finally, she must adhere with clocklike regularity ‘to the normal routine whioh she hae laid down.” - Dr. De Vilbiss is an attractive and intelligent woman, apparently in the carly thirties, with a wide, smooth forehead and a mouth that curves expressively as she talks, 6She is a graduate of the Universtty of In- diana, and for some time has spe- cially devoted herself to work with mothe! nd children. “I am tremendously interested in the campaign for saving pbabies which New York has under way,” she said. “It scems to me one of the moet progressive steps any State has yet taken, and I am full of hope that others may follow the lead of New York.

It occurred to me that New York mothers would be ¢iad of @ “consulting expert's” advice as to the care of their children during the coia months almost upon us, Dr. De Vilbiss readily responded to iny suggestion, “First of all, the mother mi remember that the CONSULTING ExPeaT FoR MOTHERS Oddities in the War News Experts figure that Germany and Austria have meat ¢ Mies have enough for 256 days, and that the war can't last muoh longer than the meat. An Austrian officer was so hungry after being wounded that when told one of his legs would have to be amputated he sald: “All right, but first give me something to eat.” He refused an anaesthetic and ate all through the operation. Anatole France has written the Minister of War that as many are finding his style worth nothing at this time he has stopped writing, and adds: “As I am no longer very young, but have excellent health, please make me a soldier.” Despatches say that 4,000,German troops are marooned in the under- ground pi ages of quarries near Lassigny, completely surrounded by the French. They can’t get out and the French can’t get in. A Paris correspondent wires that he met Richard Harding Davis and asked, “Off to the front?’ “No more front for me,” Richard Harding replied. “I have been ar- rested and locked up and God knows what else.

SAMPLE OF FIRE STICK. Victor Bogaert, Kentuckian, Robbed as Well as Arrested, Brings Home One. Two eye witnesses of the burning of Louvain—men who had vassed through the plague of fire and shoot- ing that held the town for two ter- rible days in August—were passen- gers aboard the White Star liner Cedric, in to-day from Liverpool with a 1,808 refugees in her three classes. Francisco Gallegos, one of the twain, is @ native of San Salvador. a former atudent at the University of Louvain, stroyed, and one cal- count of the city’s sacking. The other narrator was Victor Boraert, « Belgian by birth but an American citizen for many years and @ resident of Lexington, Ky. “The bombardment of the town by the advancing Germans did little damage,” sald Gallegos. no evidence that the Germans had any intention to wreck the olty by their shells, but only to drive the Belgians out. Before the Belgians retreated the Chief of Staff ordered all citizens of Louvain to give up their arms for the protection of the town, Searching parties even were sent through the olty to insure against the secretion of any arms which might be used by civilans against the Germans and eo Invite reprisals by the enemy, I believe that this search was thorough and that not a single non-combatant in Louvain possessed even so much as a pistol after the Belgian army com- pleted its evacuation. “The conquering Germans, when they went away, left about 600 men to hold the town and to guard the supply trains. The battalion was made up of Prussians and Bavarians. They looted the wine shops. I saw German officers passing bottles of wine to ther inen and taking the stock from to- bacoo stores to distribute among their troops. Soon there were many drunk- en Germans on the streets, Then they became ugly, fighting among themselves and trying to pick quar. rele with the citizens. They searched the town for weapons, even stopping pedestrians and taking their pocket knives from them. They found no other weapons. “On the night of Aug. 25 the drunk. en orgy turned to savagery and shoot- ing began. I am firmly convinced that the citizens did not begin it, for they had no arms. I was in my board- ing place near the university when I heard the shots. I saw men in gray uniforms running through the streets with torches in their hands. I saw them set fire to houses and shoot men, women and children as they ran into the streete—some in thelr night clothes, The shotoing was done in cold blood. “The whole sky that night was red with fire, and the next day the burn- ing continued. I saw my university the beautiful old University of Lou- vain—wrapped in flames. I saw the bodies of old men and women lying in the streets where they had been I spent a whole day hiding in a cellar. Finally, on Aug. 2, I maps aged to make my way out of the city, more than half of which was then lying in emoking ruins. J walked ag one of a long stream of pitiful refugees, bound for Ghent and the safe sone beyond, In that ter- rible procession were many who pushed little carts bearing the bodlos of thelr dead or seriously wounded. Finally I reached Ostend and found a way to get to England. “1 can explain the burning of Lou- vain no better than to say it wae the result of a drunken orgy.” Mr. Bogaert said: “I went first to Louvain on Aug. 20 to see a friend, Louls Von Leouw. The Germans were in possession of the town and every- thing was orderly I returned to Brussels and then, thinkin, that at Louvain I might get a paseport from the Germans to permit me t go to Liege, where my brother lived, I re- turned to Louvain. All the Ger- mang had gone except some compa- nies of Prussian and Bavarian troops and they were rapidly getting drunk “Somehow the roport spread through the companies of the Bavarlans that the French were coming, and early in the evening of Aug. 25 they began firing indisoriminately. I heard them sbouting ‘The French are here!’ The Prussians, in another section of to: heard tho firing and thought it wa: coming from the civilians. So they ran from house to house, summoning the residents out on the streets, about- ing them and firing thelr house: “Phe daughter of my friend Van Leeuw was married to the son of a man, Edward Van Ertryck., That t this young woman and her hus- the home of the old to say.
