I
cannot cross over to England, as, to do this, it is necessary that there
should be a whole family. In these horrible circumstances, I
respectfully take the liberty of addressing you, and I hope you will aid
me as best you can. I swear to you that I shall pay you back all that
you give me. I have here in Antwerp no place, no family. The town will
not give me any aid, because I have no papers to prove my identity. I
threw all my papers away for fear of the Germans. I count then on you
with a firm hope to pay you back later.
Please accept, dear Sir, my respectful greetings.

PITTSBURGH, Penn., Oct. 17.--The Pittsburgh civil engineer mentioned as
the former partner of the writer of the letter to THE TIMES citing acts
of the Germans in Belgium, is well known here. He was informed by THE
TIMES correspondent tonight that he had been named by the writer of the
letter as likely to testify to his trustworthiness and was asked if he
cared to say anything regarding this. He replied:
"While I have no idea what my former partner has written to THE TIMES, I
would credit his statements, whatever they might be."
THE NEUTRALS.
By BEATRICE BARRY.
Ours is the "neutral nation"
In this war that the white men wage,
And we on the Reservation
Care naught how the white men rage.
