N a recent divorce case' the judge,
in questioning the husband . about
his treatment of his wife, asked
whether he was in the habit of making
her Christmas or birthday presents, of
bringing her flowers, confectionery or
other ; gifts occasionally. "No," the
husband replied, "I am sorry to say. I
never did. I always paid .her bills
without question, and thought that
was all I should do, but I see now I
was mistaken, that it did not take the
place of my buying things and taking
them home to her myself. It was a
mistake." .
Many practical people- think that
sentiment is a sign of weakness; that
such ' things belong only to silly peo
ple. It is a sad day in any married
woman's life when she can say: "Dear
me, it is not half so much fun to be
a wife as it was to be a sweetheart.
I do not begin to get the presents,
treats and little attentions I used to. -It
is a great pity when a husband
gradually ceases to be attentive in
little things; when he neglects lo
bring home flowers or little gifts to
his wife, as he did before marriage.
It is a great shock in a woman's life
when she begins to realize that ro
mance is dying out; that her husband
Is always too tired, to go anywhere
with her in the evening; too busy to
take her for a little outing; that his
mind is always on his business; that
he who was once so generous with
her talks poverty, telling her that he
cannot afford this, or cannot afford
that
, It does not 1 take a great deal to
make the average young woman
happy. It is not so much a question
of the amount of money spent on her
as the little attentions, the little cour
tesies that indicate thoughtfulness and
affection. It Is the idea that she is in
her husband's mind; that he has
taken pains to express his affection,
to make her happy, that pleases and
satisfies her.
A judge of large experience says
that one of the chief grievances of
women who come to him for relief
through divorce Is that their husbands
neglect them and 'their homes, giving
their minds so completely to their
business affairs that even when at
home they are only surly brutes with
whom the angels themselves could not
lead happy domestic lives.
Men as a rule are so matter" of' fact.
They do not realize what a little
romance and sentiment mean to a
wife. They seem to think that if a
woman has a gcpd home, enough to
eat and good clothes to wear she
ought to be satisfied; but these things
do hot feed the most Important ele
ments in a wife. The feminine heart
is the most difficult thing to nourish.
It does not feed upon things, however
beautiful. The heart may starve in
the midst of luxury, and it may thrive
in a hovel where there is not a car
pet on the floor or a picture on the
wall.
There are multitudes of wives In
this country today who do not really
know the meaning, of the word com
panionship. Their husbands pay their
bills, their physical wants are ' sup
plied, but their affections are not fed,
and their hearts are starving for com
radeship. This is often the- reason
why so many wives seek elsewhere
the sympathy which their husbands
deny them.
There must be romance in wedded
life, constant expression of affection
and appreciation not only on the hus
band's part, but on the wife's as well,
or the most affectionate nature will In
time grow indifferent and seek other
Interests.

CORRESPONDENT WITH GERMAN ARMY
WALKS AMID BULLETS IN BATTLE
By Jacques Obels. r
Correspondent of i the Chicago Dally
Antwerp, , Belgium. I have Just
reached Antwerp after an absence of
20 days, 17 of which I passed as a pris
oner in the hands of the Germans in
Brussels. I find scattered patches of
his city either knocked down by ehells
or burned, but it Is impossible at the
moment to estimate the damage. ; The
town is dead, the total Belgian popula
tion amounting only to about five hun
dred. However, refugees are return
ing slowly, the trains which are bring

HoPr-d. The Germans are running a
service of motor cars from Brussels to
Antwerp and I came here on one oj
these cars. s
'. Sjees Malines Bombardment .5
My 'experiences eince leaving Ghent
include besides imprisonment, walk
ing with half a dozen other civilians
before a column of German Infantry
advancing against the Belgians in the
streets of Malines, while the bullets
whistled about us and white shells
from the kaiser's heavy artillery
screamed overhead and boemed
against Fcrt Waelhem. - I was an eye
witness of the bombardment of Ma
lines, the details of which I will give
as my story progresses. N
On riding out from Antwerp on a
bicycle .20 days ago as the battle on
the plain was beginning I heard the
heaviest firing in the direction of Ma
lines. I asked a responsible Belgian
commander if it would be safe for me
to go to Malines. "Yes," said he, "for
we shall hold the town at least until
tonight"
Runs Into German Army.
Thereupon I rode rapidly toward
Malines, around which thundered
heavy guns. Entering the town with
the full assurance that it was held by
Belgians, I suddenly found myself face
to face with a column of German in
fantry keeping close to one side of a
street on the other side of which
shell fire was bringing down quantities
of brick and stone. This shell Qre pro
ceeded from the Belgian guns at Fort
'Waelhem. At the other end of the
town I saw the last of the regiments
pf Belgian infantry backing stubborn
ly out of the bullet-swept streets.
Rides on His Wheel to Front
But I must return to the beginning
of my story. Every day, beginning
with September 11, 1 rode on my bi
cycle from Antwerp to the fighting
front, which extended in a wide semi
circle well beyond the outer ring of
forts. On the 11th, 12th and 13th the
Belgians fought a series of battles so
determined and brilliant that the Ger
mans are still talking admiringly of
them. Then they were driven within
the outer forts and the Germans be
gan immediately to prepare positions
for their great guns by leveling the
ground and building concrete , plat
forms. Saturday, September 26, the
Belgians made a desperate sortie for
the purpose of blowing up the German
intrenchmenU and concrete emplace
ments. They persisted in this attempt all
day Saturday and Saturday night, but
early Sunday -morning I found them in
full retreat I reached the foremost
trenches, where the final stand was
made prior to the return within the
forts. The Belgians had fallen back
from Buggenhout and were making
their stand along the high road to Ma
lines and Termonde. Their trenches
were hastily dug and manned and ma
chine guns were hurried into position.
The Germans hidden in the wood
opened a heavy rifle fire and this was
so hot that the Belgians launched a
cavalry movement to clear the wood.
Sees Marvelous Marksmanship.
When the cavalry had covered aboit
half the distance I witnessed a marvel
ous feat of marksmanship by the Ger
mans. Their artillery was in position
about two and a quarter miles behind
their advance troops. ' The Belgian
charge having been signaled, the Ger
man artillerists fired one shell, which
dropped, in the very midst of the Bel
gian horsemen,- killing and wounding
many and sending the others into
headlong flight for shelter.; Afterward
the Germans' came quickly upon us
with their ! bayonets, charging reck
lessly through our rifle fire. So many
were there that we were forced to flee
for our lives.
Witnesses Artillery Duel.
The next day, Monday, September
28, I went to Wildebrpek. - An artillery
duel raged along the whole length of
the Une and the incessant scream' of
the shells deafened one and made
one's head ache.
Pushing on to Malines, I fell Into
the hands of the Germans, as previous
ly told. They ordered me to take my
place with other civilians at the head
of a column of infantry. I pointed to
the American flag about my armwith
letters in gilt "It Is no use," said the
officer in command, -
I took my place in front of the sol
diers 't and advanced at. the word of
GERMAN OFFICER POSES AS .
BRITON;. SAVES LIFE
' t
Berlin. There has been given, out
here a . story relating how Count
Schwerin,-, ar German officer, who
speaks English fluently, was success-,
ful to obtaining information from 1 the
en emy which resulted, in the winning
of a battle by the Germans.
While - reconnoitering beyond the
French lines Count Schwerin was dis
covered by a French officer. He told
'crc
command. t -The Belgian soldiers wers
about three hundred yards ahead,
backing out of town; as I said, and
firing as they retired.
Relentlessly pressed, the Belgians
moved out of .town, crossed the bridge
over the River Dyle and marched
about eight hundred yards down the
river, where they hastily took a posi
tion. Hides on a Prison Porch.
I saw several fires started by Bel
gian shells and I passed the famous
cathedral of St. Rombold, which had
been badly damaged.' We crossed sev
eral bridges, the Belgians firing on us
at right angles from down the river.
On the bridge the Germans advanced
I as fast as they could run, making us
keep ahead of them. On the last
bridge I crossed I found myself alone
with a German officer. He inspected
my flag, heard my story and told me
to. j take refuge in the porch of the
prison, which stood close by, and wait
until the general came up.
Whole columns kept on coming, all
rossing the bridge at a run in groups
of 20. After them came light naval
guns drawnby marines. The general
staff followed soon after and also took
shelter behind the prison. Apparent
ly, the1 Belgian artillery had been
warned of this fact, for their shells be
gan to burst near the prison.
Several wounded soldiers were
brought into the office and I marveled
at their fortitude.
I also was surprised to see the Ger
man officers expose themselves with
absolute disregard of their lives. Dur
ing all the street fighting they were al
ways among their men, commanding
them to take shelter near the walls or
behind projecting corners. I saw the
soldiers doing this while the officers
themselves were walking right in the
middle of the road. The officer with
whom I crossed the last bridge chat
ted with me, utterly indifferent to the
fact that bullets were flying about us
and flattening themselves against the
iron work of the bridge.
Given Staff Officer Guard.
I Interviewed Admiral von Schroe
der, commanding the marine division.
He was a hearty old sea dog, smoking
a short German pipe and dressed like
a yachtsman. He told me that I might
return to Antwerp and tell the Bel
gians there that he "would be with
them in a couple of weeks.
"You also may wire London," said
tYi a admiral '.'that 7 will ho tHoro in a
K " ' " "
couple of months." As I had had
ienough of marching toward Antwerp
at the head of an attacking column, I
begged the admiral to let me go to
Brussels.
"Granted," said the admiral. "Not
only this, but two staff officers will
take you in their motor car."
They did so, treating me with the
greatest cordiality. The country pre
sented a shocking aspect. Every vil
lage , church and 1 farm building had
been burned to the ground, all going
down before the tide of fire. The fields
were desolate and the inhabitants had
fled. As we ' passed a village called
Hopstade I saw four 46-centimeter
(18.1-inch) guns being put into posi
tion. I knew then that Antwerp as a
fortress was doomed.
Charged with Bjeing Spy.
On my arrival in Brussels the Ger
maftis'. consideration for me came to
an end abruptly for the time being.
I was sent to the war pffice building,
the upper rooms in which "had been
converted into a prison. Here I was
brought before a judge and subjected
to a drastic' search and cross-examination.
The detectives found some good
war .maps, with penciled Indications of
the position of the German artillery,
notes I had taken for myself,- and also
a camera with undeveloped films of
military pictures that I had ' taken in
the course of my journeyings within
both the German and the Belgian
lines. v '
On this evidence I was charged
with being a spy, in spite of the abun
dant proof of my position as a corre
spondent The judge bluntly told me
that I might be shot the next morn
ing, and this suggestion was promptly
made to the commanding general, who
summoned me to- appear before him.
Againf I stated my case. Unlike the
judge, the general, seemed more anx
ious to do justice than to shoot al
leged spies. :
