well for us to leave If we wanted to make certain of avoiding any difficulties. About the same suggestion was given. in a message we had from Mrs. Schwegel's brother who thought it would be best if we started in good time for Belgium. Soldiers Filled "We had no difficulty in leaving at that time and went to Liege in Belgium.

But our luggage was held up and we had a week in Liege before it caught up with us. Soldiers and artillery units filled the streets from time to time while we were in Liege, and it looked just as If Belgium, too, were at war. "I went to the United States consul while there and asked what was best for us to do. I was told we would do well to go to Antwerp and try and arrange for passage from that port. But for three days at Antwerp, we had no luck.

It was the same story, day after chance for accommodations to America. Meantime I had cabled for more funds in order to book passage, if possible on an American boat. Then, all at once it seemed our difficulties were over. We were informed passage could be arranged by a sailing from England. "We went to Brussels for visas, thence from Ostend across to England, and to London.

Our stay at London was not particularly pleasant although quite short. Things looked ominous, sandbags piled up in front of the buildings, everyone on the streets, even to children and babies, carrying gasmasks. Over the main buildings and Important places were balloons, with observers In communication with those below." Describe Blackouts Mrs. Schwegel took up the recital at this point, telling of the nightly blackouts. "We got into Southampton at 11 p.

she for two hours the darkened streets hotel accommodations. The'city; was filled, it seemed, but we finally got a hotel room in which to stay until we sailed." As to conditions in Germany as they observed them during their summer travels, Mrs. Schwegel said they noted apparent satisfaction among the people they met and visited with. "My sister," she said, "felt the times were better than at any period since the world war. There was work for everyone and everyone had plenty of food.

Church services were being held, It seemed just as usual. We attended church and were present for the golden jubilee of a cousin of mine who is a priest. He was 75 years of age, and sight such he no longer read mass. In reply to my questions he assured me he was well provided for and received 200 marks a month. Dileinna of "Tourists were left in most difficult straits when the rush to get home started.

It seemed a great majority were in need of funds and anxious to borrow to get home. My husband made loans to three in order to give them some help." Mr. and Mrs. Schwegel were met in St. Louis on their arrival there Sunday forenoon by their children and members of their families, and there was a happy reunion following which they were driven to their home here.

They reached Alton shortly before 11 a. m. and an hour later were driven to the home of their son, Edward Schwegel, at 1035 Washington avenue for a family dinner. Following informal plans announced Saturday, friends called In great numbers in the afternoon to greet the returned and join with their children In a henrty welcome and fellcitaUoni on their safe return. After landing a week ago, Mr.

and Mrs. Schwegel visited In New York, then went on to Pittsburgh and Duquesne, to visit friends and relatives, resuming the homeward journey Saturday night. Senate Group Delays Action On Neutrality Committee Postpones Vote on Measure at Request of Borah Restrictions in Bill Would Limit Commercial Credit of Belligerents to 90 Days City's Oldest Automobile Owner Hurt in Crash 15 Women on Jury Venire foe Alton City Court Surplus Food to Be Distributed WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, Agriculture Department officials laid today they would go ahead with an expanded distribution of surplus food to the nation's relief families despite an expected Increase In European demand for American farm products. Although war has tended to lighten the burden of most agriculture surpluses here, they said, the war demand is not expected to show much change for several months.

The Agriculture Department's food stamp plan for distributing surplus food through regular commercial channels is now operating In ilx N. Dayion, 0., Birmingham, Seattle, Dei Molnes, and Shawnee, Okla. It will be itarted soon in Springfield, III. Jeverai dozen other cities are under comJderatlon WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, UP)The Senate foreign relations committee delayed action until Thursday today on the administration's new neutrality legislation.

The delay was agreed to at the request of Senator Borah (Republican, Idaho), ranking minority com- mltteeman and opponent of President Roosevelt's proposal to repeal the existing arms embargo. A draft of the administration measure, written during the weekend by committee Democrats, was submitted by Chairman Pittman (Democrat, Nevada) when the group met this morning. Borah said opposition forces had no disposition to lock the bill up in committee, but added: "I have always had a prejudice against voting on a bill before I hava read it." The, new bill Carrie? out President Roosevelt's recommendation for repeal of the arms embargo but provides powerful congressional checks on executive discretion. A group of committee Democrats, meeting in closed session for more than five hours yesterday, decided to include two provisions to curtail presidential authority. Committeemen said they were designed to win support from, opposition Senators, some of whom have declared a "hell to breakfast" fight against removal of the embargo.

Belligerents purchasing goods in this country would have to take title to them before they were shipped.

The President could designate 'combat areas" and prohibit American citizens or vessels from entering them.

Violations would be punishable by a fine to $50,000 and Imprisonment of not more than five years. Americans could not travel on belligerent vessels except in accordance with rules prescribed by the President. Red Cross personnel and vessels chartered by the Red Cross would be exempt from restrictions on American travel and shipping. American merchant vessels would be prohibited from carrying other than small arms necessary to preserve discipline aboard. Belligerent governments could not sell securities in the United States.

Belligerents could obtain ordinary commercial credits for a period of not more than 90 days. Fines up to $50,000 and imprisonment up to five years would be the penalties for violation of the credit restrictions. 6-Month President Roosevelt would report to Congress every six months on the amount of short-term credits extended to belligerents. The munitions control board would report on Jan. 1 and July 1 of each year regarding the amount of arms, munitions and Implements of war pur chased by belligerents in the Unit ed States.

The names of purchas ers, whether foreign governments or individuals and companies residing In foreign states, would be Included in the reports. Solicitation of funds in this country for belligerents would be prohibited. The President would have au thorlty to Impose special restrictions on the use of American ports by submarines or armed merchant vessels of belligerent states. Where the legislation does not provide specific penalties, viola tlons of the act would be punish able by fines of not more than $10,000 and imprisonment of not more than two years.

When the safe was delivered to the school, he recalled, four men assisted in moving it from a truck to his office. He speculated that a lot of mistaken energy was exerted by those who removed it, evidently thinking it contained money. No cash was ever left in the safe, he said, since school if any, are banked daily, as is the school system rule. Half an hour after the Horace Mann break-in was discovered, Mrs.

''When I said "What do you Gore said 'I'm not talking to anybody." "I said 'I'm taking you to and Gore replied 'All right, I'm not running away." "I then took him to the county jail and turned him over to the county officials."

There were indications nevertheless, that -the Germans planned to limit hostilities against France as much as possible in the hope of weaning the French away from Britain. Preparations in the west, informed quarters said, apparently were directed chiefly against the British as it became known here that English troops were being landed in France in increasing numbers. If German tactics on the eastern front are followed, it may be expected that the German air force will strike in the near future at British concentration areas.

While Warsaw continued to hold out, an official announcement said Nazi troops were moving "along the entire eastern front" toward the Demarcation line splitting Poland between Germany and Soviet Russia. Army authorities said the German soldiers were withdrawing westward with clocklike precision while the Russians were advancing toward the line from the east. Meanwhile, thousands of German mothers who have not heard from sons with the army in the east anxiously awaited posting of official casualty lists, expected within the next few days. An army announcement described German losses as "unusually small in comparison with the enemy," but so far the public has been given no actual figures. R.

JOHN BUDAPEST, Sept. 25 Warsaw's radio staff, for days the Polish capital's last link with the outside world, -stood by its ml- crophones again last night to describe a new German bombardment which announcers said had killed more than 1000 civilians. Apparently Ignoring personal danger, announcers hurled challenges at the beseiging Nazis and encouraged thev city's civilian population.

Despite silence today from the Warsaw', radio, a German broadcast in olish acknowledged the beseiged city still was resisting. The announcer praised the "bravery" of the Polish capital's defenders, but said it was "futile" for them to hold out any longer and appealed directly to them to surrender. From their little studio high up in a modern skyscraper in the heart of the shell scarred capital, the Warsaw radio staff has chronicled in calm, unhurried voices an hour-by-hour story of Warsaw'a defense. With no trace of personal emotion, announcers described street) "running with blood" and littered with mangled bodies. They read long lists of missinj women and children, and repeated others that execution awaiti those trying to help friends leavi the city.

Frequent instructions were issued directing "able-bodied mer to obtain shovels and report te headquarters," advising to "build barricades in the streeU and dig traps for German and announcing that "girl scout! are wanted for first-aid work." There also were frequent appeals to Great Britain and Franci for help "before it's too late," but with them went word of Warsaw'i intention to hold put "to give thi world a new proof of Polish heroism." As if nothing more important than baseball scores, the broadcasters told Warsaw residenti "there now Is horse meal to eat because of has happened to Polish cavalry units." Running accounts of German attacks on the city told of incendiary bombs setting fire to crowded hospitals, or air raids wrecking museums and of shells ripping through apartment buildings.
