6 The Truth About Belgium Z By Brand Whitlock Z (CoitUmd from I>*n ANTWERP had fallen and the people of Brussels, as though stunned by some new* and un expected bereavement, stood in si lent groops with solemn faces about the affiches on the walls, staring long at the brief announcement: “Les troupes allemandes sont en trees a Anvers hier a pres midi.” (“German troops -entered Antwerp yesterday afternoon.") Then’ along the Antwerp road, open once more to travel, steamed the refugees, that strange, melan choly procession that unrolled in endless sequence its myriad obscure and anonymous tragedies. For days and days the poor folk whom the war had driven out of that land, once so pleasant, between Brussels and Antwerp, came pouring into the capital. The highroad was crowded with them, miserable peas ants with wce-begone faces plod ding stolidly on out of those strick en towns that had paid for the re sistance of the Belgian army, when it fell back from Liege on the forti fied place of Antwerp. Villages and their homes had vanished, and before them lay they knew not what new sufferings, nor seemed any more to care. These were they who unable to slip through the lines into Brussels, or over the border into Holland, or westward into the plains of Flanders, or perhaps, strange and touching phenomenon, in the peasant’s stubborn attach ment to his own soil, had clung to their homes even when they lay tn ruins about them.,until, driven out at last, they had hidden themselves . in the heather and the bracken of the dread Campine, or in the woods in ravines, in fields, in ditches, • LEMON JUICE . j TAKES OFF TAN • i . * Girls!'

Some of those haggard eyes had looked on while Eppeghem was destroyed and had witnessed the dreadful deeds at Aerschot, or at Boortmeerbeek, the horrors of Hofstade or of Sempst. The scattered throngs • moved on, dumb, heavy, slow, without a word, without a cry, without a hope, be yond the power of expression or the need of it any more, treading a silent calvary of’which no human means could voice the pain. There were men bent beneath their packs, and bowed under a far heavier load of despair; women with wan faces, whereon the stain of futile tears had long since dried, shawls over tb<tr heads, figures of utter mis- children, their smiles gone, trotting in the mud beside their el ders, glancing up now and then with that most terrible of all ex pressions the human countenance a can assume—that look of terror In the eyes of little children who for the first time in this our tragic life realize that there are calamities which their mothers have no power to avert. The children clumped along in their sabot, which the Flemish nomatopoetlcally call klompen; the elder among them helping the younger, sometimes carrying them in their thin, pathet ic arms. Day after day and all through the night, in rain and mud and cold, they trooped on in those drear Oc tober days of 1914, with no place to go. without hope, almost without the wlh to hope. They trooped on in wooden shoes, or in no shoes at all, and they bore in their arms, or on their backs, their little all tied up in bundles. Some -of them, the less unfortunate, had carts, and since they had no longer any patient dogs to draw them they patiently drew them themselves. straining against the ropes, their forms bowed in labor. Now and then when some Ger man officer in arrogant indifference, muffled in the great fur collar of his gray coat, swept by in his gray mo tor. or some detachment of soldiers, stolid and with brutish insensibility, marched by, slavishly singing their songs, they turned out into the ditches and waited, and when the sol diers had passed they climbed back onto the highway and plodded on again. Along the Bead to Antwerp There were sights to see along the Antwerp road in those days, German troops coming back from the siege, with long train® of lumbering wag ons filled with knapsacks and rifles, helmets, belts, sabres, all the sal vage they had economically, gather ed; ruined villages, like little Vll vorde. a spot sacred to the English speaking race, for there William Tyndale was burned for having translated the Bible into our tongue; ruined houses, their win dows broken In, their walls rid dled with bullets or yawning in gaping holes torn by shells, vomited their debris into the streets, and all the beautiful ash trees that used to line the road felled to clear the way for cannon balls, some, indeed, fell ed by the cannon balls themselves. Near Eppeghem, the trenches the Belgians had abandoned stretching across the yellow fields where as paragus—the famous “asperges de Malines”—had been growing, the fields that had been so downy, so feathery, all trampled down in the rage that had seared them with its hot breath. In the little niches in the trench walls there were crusts of mouldy bread, a tin cup or a can teen;- Belgian kepis and knapsacks were strewn a£out, and in one place a subterranean room had been hol lowed out, the garlands of paper flowers still on its clayey walls and a table with matches, a lamp, a bot tle and the remains of the last sup per—all as they had left it when at last they had to fly. And there was one sentient thing, a dog lying in one of the caverns: the poor fellow stared with great pathetic eyes but refused to come out, and lay wait ing for the master who would never more return. Eppeghem was a silent place of ruins; not a roof remained, not a house that had not been ravaged by fire; the pretty gray old church but a heap of ruins. The body of a horse was lying in the street, its stiff legs sticking up in the air; hideous cats prowled among the ruins, and everywhere there were black bottles, thousands of them, emptied of their wine by the Ger mans In their guzzling. It was so. too. at Malines, empty bottles everywhere, ranged on win dow sills, on door steps, or rolling in the streets, evidence of an insa tiable thirst. German soldiers, in that ugly field gray, were slinking out of houses hiding bottles under their tunics. The town was de serted of all, save now and then some girl picking up bits of wood with which to make up a fl re, or a few women, bent over the piles of debris, picking It over, trying to rescue something from the rubbish, all that remained to them. The beautiful Grand’ place was but a heap of charred brick and twisted iron, and while the cathedral was standing, there were great holes yawning in its vails and its carven stone was all broken, and every pane of the stained glass, all that remain ed of a beautiful lost art, was shat tered to bits and quite gone, and its chimes, under the magic hand of ECZEMAI MANY TIMES CALLED SALT RHEUM, I ' tetter, skin cancer, etc. 1. -I For many years I have been a specialist, and <lur- Kai ifr * nz ’kat time have treated many thousands of cases, "j*,While 1 am not a “cure all" doctor, nor miracu- ,oas healer, and can not do things beyond the * reach of human aid, yet I believe that a specialist ‘ w j lo t rpa t s only one thing fa far more competent to Qw treat that disease than anyone else in the world. 1 lepere that eczema is a curabl- disease and I mean aH it in all that the word cure means, not merely to l>atch it up and then have It break out again as bad or worse than ever, but when I say I believe it MB is curable. 1 mean just taat CURABLE.

Near by, the gray old monastic res idence of Cardinal Mercier stood with its roof beaten in. Woehlem, a Grass Grown Fort Beyond, toward Antwerp, stood the fort of Waerlem, one of the outer defenses, the key, I believe, to the position. About, on every side, stretched the fields, gaunt and bare, sodden from their late inun- I elation, every tree cut down, great masses of barbed wire entangle ments and chevaux de frise every where. Here and there was a new grave, with a wooden cross lettered in Flemish or French; and just out side the fort, near the bridge across the moat, there was the grave of some German soldier, his rille and his helmet laid upon it, and a few faded flowers. Evening was steal ing over the fields, frepn which the waters had not all receded; there were pools here and there, gleaming in the slanting rays of the hazy sun. It was very still; there seemed not to be a living thing left in the world. The great mound of the grass grown fort heaved itself above the level, wet plain, the cuyve’ of its outline broken by the great hole that had been torn, like the crater, in its very summit by the shell of the *’4B” that, in the deadly pre cision of the final perfectly aimed sho.t had blasted its steel cupola to bits. And there on the jagged summit the black, white and red flag of modern Germany was flying and beside its staff a sentinel stood, solitary, immobile, his spiked hel met and his long bayonet outlined in sharp silhouette against the sky of pale garance where the sun was setting. As we drove into Malines, there by the ancient gate, the Porte de Bruxelles, an old peasant was sit ting in the sun before the door of his ruined home; the light of day shone through the broken windows and the roof was gone. When he saw the little American flag on the motor he raised his hand in solemn salute. When we returned late in the afternoon there was the old peasant still sitting before the ruins of his home; he seemed not to have moved, but sat there in dumb de spair, and he raised his hand again to his cap, in that reverent salute, What did it mean to him, that bright bit of bunting with its flut tering red and white stripes and the white stars on the blue? What vague impressionistic dream of lib erty and justice did it evoke before those old eyes that had gazed on nameless horrors and were beyond tears? 1 uncovered to him; I trust that he understood. And then somewhere along the road beyond Vilvorde there was the German officer, his motor beside the road, en panne—a punctured tire. He was accompanied by his wife, an officer and a chauffeur. He spoke French with difficulty, and I thought he was asking me to take his wife in to Brussels. I offered, of course, to do this, but, “oh, no,” he said lightly, “she can wait there.” And he climbed into the k car, taking the vacant seat, and rode into Brussels. “Have ybu seen our glorious can non?” he was asking me politely. (Glorlosen cannonen). , There along the roadside were the drab figures of the refugees, still bowed under their packs, still bending to the ropes with which they drew their carts, plod ding on without complaint, without a word. The rain was falling dreari ly before the long, blinding rays of the headlights; they turned aside. Now and then one of them, looking dumbly up and seeing the flag, touched his cap in salute. Then their, figures became vague, im pressionistic blurs. We Pace Hunger The ironic spirits have their fun with mortals; their sardonic laugh ter rings forever down the awful void; what were thought to be vic tories proved to be defeats and de feats to have been triumphs. Ma jor Langhorne in Brussels a day or so after the city had been abandon ed said that Antwerp, if not a vic tory for the Belgians, was hardly a victory for the Germans, since in their haste to parade the boulevards of Brussels, to have the eclat of an entry in the grand style in the cap ital of the little nation they had conquered, and to stagger mankind with their force and power, they had left the country open westward to the sea, and allowed the Belgian army to escape to the immortal glory of the Yser. But whatever minor consolation there may have been for the people of Brussels in the thought that the Germans had made a mistake of which history would calmly speak, there was an immediate and. an in tense preoccupation, destined thence forth never to quit the mind for years. It was the thought of famine. The wheat had not come from Ant werp yet. It was even reported that the Belgians in leaving the citadel had destroyed the foodstuffs there, whereupon a German general re marked: (Continued Next Issue) (Published by special arrange? ment with the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

I * I Cotton NEW YORK, July 15.—The cotton market showed renewed steadiness during today’s early trading. The detailed weather report of Satur- ! i day showed showers in parts of central, east , i and coast sections of Texas, but the rainfall ' was not considered sufficient to relieve drouth and after opening 10 points lower to 9 points higher prices firmed up in a comparatively quiet | market. July advanced from 27.68 to 27.95 and October from 21.44 to 24.64 with active month* ; ruling about 15 to 17 points net higher toward ' the middle of the morning. The census figures ' showing domestic mill consumption of 527,464 bales for June, against 574.110 last year, failed ■ to create any fresh sentiment nnd the market again appeared to be chiefly influenced by the | I talk of deteriorating crop prospects in Texas. i Trading was very quiet later in the morn- . ing and fluctuations were somewhat irregular I with the trade waiting for the detailed weather report from the Houston district and further | news from the western front. Toward mid-lay, j however, there wns a flurry of covering by | early sellers, which sent prices into new high j ground for the day with October selling at 24.74 and December at 24.1-1, or 25 to *26 points net I higher. The detailed weather report for Texas showed j a little precipitation at five or six points, but I created no fresh sentiment and business was | dull during the early afternoon. After the bulge above 24.70 for October prices reacted | several points under realizing with tlmt de- , livery ruling around 24.58 toward 2 o'clock, or | about 10 points net higher.

July 15.—Bearish consump tion figures for June were offset in their effect on cotton today by the dry weather which pre vailed in the belt over Sunday. Fluctuations were nervous, prices rising 16 to 18 points on the opening call, only to fall 3 to 15 points tinder Saturday’s close on the more active months immediately nfter the call. Later there wns a recovery to a net advance of 10 to 12 points. The demand increased moderately and In the trading up to noon the advance was widened to 21 to 40 points. The market turned very quiet with values inclined to sag under the inactivity. At 1 o’clock prices were 8 to a points tip net.

Reports of deteioration and damage owing to deficient rainfall, are tow coming not only from the west but also from ; localities east of the Missisippi river. More- l over, delav in the development of the eastern | crop, owing to low night temperatures, is more , prominently mentioned. These features will un doubtedly be contained in the government re port on Wednesday. < Temple, Tex., says drouth and excessive heat continue: plant undersized and deterioration rapid. Practically nothing will be made be tween iiere aud San Angelo. The weather map shows partly cloudy to fair, no rain. Temperatures high In the west, cool i over the eastern half of the belt. Indications I arc for generally cloudy nnd cooler with some prospects of showers in the northwest toward Wednesday, but so far it does not look like any relief of consequence in the western area. Another cool spell will come on the Atlan tics, which is unfavorable. The government tor the first time gives the consumption of linters and statistics show that the combined consumption of cotton and linters ■ so far for the season is 25,000 bales greater i than last year, 7,080,000 bales vs. 7.033,000 last | year. ’ , The market opened 5 to 10 up and conditions wore in favor of advance when news came from Wall street that the expected enemy of- ; fensive had been started this morning in the , west. This and weather prospects for some , showers northwest caused support to be held I In suspense tor news of developments, and scalping tactics prevailed. 'Diere is no ques tion but that active support would be created by any favorable war news, and there is pref erence therefore for buying cn dips. The following is the latest report from dry goods quarters: Dry goods report pal ß cotton goods markets have begun to improve; demand increases and buyers coming in the market more freely.

Flash Items to the Soldiers i NEW YORK, July 13.—Arrangements to distribute neighborhood news t® all < of the American fighting forces abroad ■! have been perfected by the foreign press cable service bureau of the committee on public information which iS directed i by Walter S. Rogers. This new feature, designed to give to i American soldiers such news as they j might expect to receive in letters from ■ their relatives and friends if thfe mails i could be depended upon, will be edited I by Herman Suter, who has had broad ' experience as a newspaper publisher. j The service will be sent to France J and wherever American soldiers are stationed every day by one of the big German wireless plants which has been operated by the government since the European war started and used exten sively for American propaganda, in cluding the world broadcasting of Pres ident Wilson’s speeches during the fif teen months this counrty has been at I war with Germany and its allies. The wireless reports will be deliver- II ed free of all tolls to military publica j tions in France and where no newspa- I pers can be distributed bulletins be ! supplied- to headquarters of the differ- ■ ent units for posting on conveniently j located bulletin boards. The reports will be copied also by the wireless plants of American warships wherever stationed. > Press associations and newspapers ■ generally have agreed to co-operate with [ the committee in making the service a , success. The part played by the As- I sociated Press for instance will be i largely in the hands of the bureaus ;! scattered strategically throughout the II United States. ’ | Some one in each bureau called upon } by the committee will send a brief tele graphic dispatch to the committee in , Mew York either daily or two or three times a week, according to the need, giving merely the high spots of the i news local to the territory covered by ■ j such bureau. Each ‘item will be just about what would appear in the headlines of the local papers to describe important b»:al events, such as nominations by politi cal parties, deaths of prominent citi- I zens of the different states, fires, wed dings of state-wide interest and other news of less than international or na ' I tional interest and therefore certain not to be cabled for publication in Eng- • lish, French or Italian newspapers. 1 In this way it is hoped to give to the | soldiers from every state at least two or three items of news from their home state or city each week. The budget necessarily will be limited, but th2 com- ' 1 mittee believes that the efforts of all thbse who patriotically contribute to the hews service will be rewarded by thd knowledge that they have reduced homesickness among the men who are ■ offering their lives in the defense of j the country.
