6 The Truth About Belgium : “ BY BRAND WHITLOCK (Contlanod from Last Week) WE had been joined by the ta ther-ln-l*w oi one of the officers, an old German civilian with a long grey board that covered his breast. He had been a soldier in the war of 1870. was then engaged in business in Ham burg and was on his annual vaca tion. He explained to me that he had found himself in need of rest and knew no better way to spend his vacation than by visiting the front , _ Von der Lancken. Villalohar and I mounted, into the motor of the crown prince, and our young captain, he of the broad jaw and the short moustache, was at the wheel. He drove that car like a demon, whirl ing and dashing and swerving through the streets, shouting to peo ple to get out of his way. and so on to the road and through the village of Siglin. Carrin on our way to Lens. and the Frencn front.

Me q, SEITZ, Dept. 3C. 70 Chicago get out on to the highway again, in the sunlight, with the harvests ripe in the fields on either side, though there were no peasants to gather them; Russian prisoners. «reat fellows with heads like Tol stoys, had taken their places at the reapers. We were running • sixty miles an hour, too fast to .talk, but just before we got to Lens, lying there before us in a little valley, we stopped and our captain pointed away off across the fields and roll ing hills, to the right: "La Chap elle de Notre Dame de Lorette," he said. It was the famous and sanguinary Loretta Heights, where the terrible fighting of May 21. 1915. occurred, in Joffre's great offensive. It lay a little to the northwest of Souchez. almost half way to Arras. There is an old legend in northern France, brought down through centuries of battles, that the one who holds Loretta Heights will win the war. It is not perhaps altogether a sol dier’s superstition, but founded no doubt upon the very salient and substantial fact that the army that held those hills had a strategical po sition that commanded the country side for miles around. Behind was I-a Bassee and a lit tle farther on Neuve Chapelle, where the English heroically failed These of course were out of sight but we could see Loretta Heights, see the smoke rising and hear the thunder > ! of the guns iff the artillery duel that goes on there forever. There lay' those lovely fields in the sun i light of France, under a haze of ) grey smoke and grey dust. Lens, Dirty Like ths Most W« drove down into Lens, a little town, dirty like the rest, smelling of the odor of invasion, deserted by . everybody who could get away, in- • habited now by slatternly women, ' depressed and bedraggled, and by i children on the sidewalks watching the endless stream of grey soldiers ’ ■ flow by. We drove through the . ' town and beyond into a cemetery— of course after the factory one must visit the cemetery. There at the f entrance of the cemetery, where t closely huddled graves, decorated i with artificial flowers, crosses of ' wood or of iron ornamented with ' photographs and other mementoes t of the deceased, lay in the blazing sun. was a monument that had been I erected to the citizens of Lens that had fallen in the war of 1870, and already there were the new graves of those other heroes who had fallen in this latest war. But they took us there not to see so much the French as the German cemetery’- The Germans had bought a plot of ground . adjoining the French cemetery and therein were buried, with German regularity, the officers in a sacred enclosure by themselves in the center, the Ger man soldiers killed in that vicinity. Already eighteen hundred Germans had been burled there, men who had fallen in the battles of May and June, and there was a’ significant repetition of the same date on the rough wooden crosses over the graves, and the inscription “Hier ruht in Gott." (•'Here rest in God.") Ivy had been planted in the yel low ground, and there was a colos sal angel in stone, heavy, stalwart, muscular. Teutonic, with a sword in her hands larger than the sword of Gideon. And immediately ad joining this space, the French were burled and over the graves the same little wooden crosses, the same dates, and "Ici repose en paix.” ("Here rest in peace.”) From the brow of a lofty hill. • crowned by a colliery, its great iron building lifting its gaunt sides high above the surrounding country, its cupola shattered by a shell, we look ed down into the broad valley. The thunder of the guns below us was loud: once more we heard the shriek of the hurtling shells and the sharp er rattle of the artillery over at Notre Dame de Lorette. Off to our left a whistling and shrieking of German shells; one could hear them and one thought one could almost see them before they struck and ex ploded In a puff of smoke. We stopped, watching the duel through glasses. But: "We must not stay here long,- said our captain, "or they will see us and take a shot at us." Under Shell Fire We went back to the motors and our Jehu dashed through the village and on to Lievin. out on the way to Angre. where are the outer defenses of Lens. A dismal little town, An gre. wholly abandoned by its inhabi tants, and occupied by German troops in force; we drove through it and on to the road just outside up to a little hill, straight in the di rection of Notre Dame de Lorette. now as it seemed, not half a mile away. The road was crowded, wag on trains trundled up the hill, cais sons were drawn up by the roadside, in the shelter of a crumbling bank and a row of tall trees, the artillery men sitting with their legs careless ly crooked over the pummels of their saddles, grim, sullen fellows. !| waiting for I know not what. Oft to the right across an open field above the hank, we had a better II view of the Loretta Heights, a gray, [ green, bald hill; looking through the • glass one could sec that the foliage of the woods had all been hacked away. And the guns were pounding ’ I LEMON JUICE ’ < TAKES OFF TAN ! Girls!

How the Southern States Have Bene fited During War While I am a close reader of con gressional Record, I had overlooked what ha.s been really expended in the southern states for establishment of cantonments and strictly war activi ties until a few days ago. I feel sure it will interest the readers of the- Semi- Weekly-Country Home readers. Here is the official table of statistics: Alabama, $61,386,145.36. Arkansas. $15,409,572.56. Florida, $7,278,201.24. Georgia, $24,710,845.85. . Kentucky. $8,375,239.90. Louisiana, $6,240,474.65. Maryland, $39. 187, 441.87. Mississippi. $5,544,514.92. New Mexico. $4,607,545.86. North Carolina, $4,518,761.39. Oklahoma. $5,174,646.07. South Carolina. $19,045,284.95. Tennessee. $76,672,100.00. Texas. $32,652,744.11. Virginia and West Virginia, $176,- 103,472.61. Total, $490,306,991.34. Alabama has four camps *ard two in dustrial plants. .. Arkansas has three camps and plant costing $15,000,000. Arkansas has three camps and picric plant costing $7,000,000. South Carolina has five camps. Tennessee has expenditure of $76,300,- 000. Texas has twenty-five military camps. I was very much interested in these statistics. The building of these camps or cantonments has given large wages to hundreds of thousands of laborers of high and low degree. Virginia and West Virginia have nearly or quite one-thtrd of this expenditure. The Semi-Weekly readers can see at a glance what the cost of war is and what must be raised, outside of an army of soldiers. LIVE STOCK BY WIRE EAST ST. LOUIS. Oct. 7.—Cattle—Receipts.

Then, suddenly, a shell burst in the field, on our right. The chauffeur instantly stopped the car. ‘Mais e’est tout pres!” I said. ("But this is very near.") "Je oomprends!” ("1 know'") said von de Lancken, who was sitting in a seat in front of me. . The shell had exploded not more than fifty yards away. There had been—there still was a great puff of brown smoke and then a' shower of dirt and stones right there beside us. Then, the Shriek of another shell again; it exploded just to our left, and a little ahead of us, uch nearer. They were shooting at us evidently, having seen, of course, the two big gray motors and the offi cers’ uniforms. Our captain cried: "Look out for the third one!” Look out? How was one to look out? It seemed to me a most stupid, silly thing to say. We sat there in the motor and waited. Nobody spoke. I had a confused recollec tion of the old superstition of po licemen. railroad men and sailors, that catastrophes come in threes. 1 was wondering at this, accepting it as a phenomenon at last confirmed by reality. But in the stillness von der Lancken was explaining the way gunners find the range, firing first on one side, then on the other, and then, in the middle—la fourchette (the fork) he said, and striking his finger of his right hand between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, he illustrated just how the third shell, for which we were wait ing, would strike us. I waited for the third shot in a fascination of suspense. There it was—that shriek, that tearing of heavy cloth. Still, the waiting, the suspense. Then Lancken exclaimed: "Il n‘a pas eclate”’ "(It has not burst!”) A shell exploded In front of us in the field, a little closer to the road. They were getting nearer, finding the range. The captain at the wheel was backing his car as fast as he could. Nobody spoke. He backed the car down near the caissons under cover of the bank. The shells were exploding all about in that field above us to the right. The artillery horses were bucking and prancing, the gunners irritably trying to calm them. On the other side of the road, a “sous officer” in spectacles, who had been sitting his horse carelessly, shouted an order in a loud, angry, resentful voice. The artillery men reined in their horses, shouted at them, jerked them about: and the caissons turn ed, lumbered down the hill and dis appeared behind the vacant houses. We alighted from the motors. The shells were still exploding in the field. The officers of our party clambered Tip the bank to the edge of the field. I climbed up, too. not because I thought I should do so but because I thought I should do as the others did. I was filled with an Intense depression, the depres sion, I suppose, of fear, but I did not wish Villalobar and Von der Lancken and the captain, just then at least, to know of this fear. And so I climbed over toward the Lo retta heights again. The name stands out in my mind as the most Important point in this war.' I looked, and ’if seemed inex pressably foolish and futile and stupid, to be standing there In the field where shells were exploding, tearing up the earth, and throwing up clouds of dust. I looked down the bank and saw Villaiobar who had some difiiculty in climbing the steep crumbling embankment. I went to assist him; not generously or because he needed assistance, but selfishly; I wished to be em ployed at something. There seem ed to be a species of relief In that thought. But the marquis was smiling. "It isn’t raining, you know! he observed. I looked at him, as we stood there, finding the remark singular ly inapropos. “But your coat collar —” he be gan- _ I had turned up the collar of my rain coat; instinctively, I suppose.

The < penlng was firm in consequence, with firrt prices 10 points lower on November, but generally 10 to 55 points higher and there was alse xime Liverpool buying on the ad vance. This demand was soon supplied, how ever. and the market weakened before the end of the first liour under a renewal of liquida tion ani southern selling. December eased off from .11.90 to 31.05 and January from 31.70 to 30.75 before the en.d of the first hour, with active months telling some 28 to 30 points un der Saturday’s closing figures. Few traders seemed to take the react overtures seriousily and after baying early, presumably in tio.i of narrower differences between Liverpool uni New York, houses with Liverpool connec tions were active sellers of the late months. Offerings having been pretty well absorbed on the early break by trade buying and cove-r ing the market steadied up during the middle of the morning and there were rallies of 25 or 30 points. The south continued selling, how ever, and prices eased off again toward mid day, with active months selling back to about the early low level.

COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 7. —News and develop ments over Sunday were in favor of the mar ket. War news is very good and political news increased the feeling o fsupremacy in that • field. The action of Liverpool particularly in narrowing parity with our markets was taken as a favorable indication of expectation of early improvement i nthe shipping situation. Easi ness at IJverpooi is very apt to be miscon strued and its real meaning is bullish for our side. A general c! -rge to cloudy weather over the belt with a general rise in temperature is the usual forerunner of a break in the weather. Indications are for unsettled rainy weather and the map shows cold wave development progress ing in the northwest. A rain disturbance is over Oklahoma and the southeastern storm is pass ing up the Atlantic coast. Our market opened 50 to 100 points higher on favorable foreign news, buying on spot re sistance, bullish weather outlook but the change lately in sentiment in the northern market seems to have been stronger than apparent on the surface and heavy pressure at New York soon wiped out all gain and caused December here to drop momentarily as low as 29.99. The market rallied quickly 30 points. There is a strong feeling here that 30 cents is well justi fied -<d inviting to conservative support. Both New York and our market have adopted the rule confning the maximum range varia tions in futures to 200 points per day either way.

Ask for it to- • day—(Advt,) 4 NOTE IS DELIVERED BY SWISS MINISTER TO THE PRESIDENT (Continued from Pare One) the allies as desirous of inflicting eco nomic restrictions on Germany after , ' the war. "He would be a bad adviser of the ' German nation who would take an ex | ample from Clemenceau and Lloyd ; George.” said the chancellor. This taunt, plus President Wilson’s ; . earnest declaration against the post ' war boycott, is likely to bring a definite statement from the allies squaring with the president's position. The Teutonic peace moves came as no surprise here. As pointed out several times in Washington dispatches, this government has had every reason to be lieve that Germany intended to prose cute a peace offensive oi more extensive i proportions than she had ever hereto- i fore undertaken. Rejection of this latest ; maneuver may even be followed by fur ther efforts later, for it now appears • that the German war lords are telling j the . German diplomats that an Ameri- j can-allied victory is in sight. Prince Max is looked upon as the , lord high camoufleur for the Prussian I autocracy. Though he has set up a cabinet which ' includes Socialists * and Liberals, the | power pf the Prussian war lords had not been diminished, allied diplomats 1 pointed out. Furthermore, this and a I slight franchise reform modifying the ' system of plural voting will serve only to mollify the masses and inure them to further sacrifices. Neither reform diminishes the real menace to a peaceful world—the kaiser’s power. He is still the war lord of the German empire and the German reichstag still remains a de bating society, diplomats warn. These are the fundamental reasons why Germany’s latest and most sinister peace move must be nipped at once, diplomats say. President Wilson has in his New York speech laid down specific guarantees that the allies must treat Germany justly at the peace conference. Hence, diplomats declare Germany’s excuse that she is fighting for her very exist ence falls fiat. German propaganda has put up Max as a camouflage painting him. as favor able to the allies and lukewarm toward the Pan-German party. His opposition to Prussia has been exploited to the limit. But officials here today cited his past remarks as proof that Max is skeptical of democratic government and has only contempt for the will of the people. The Austrian proposal, timed with that of Germany, is viewed as German engineered, though officials are inclined to believe that internal conditions are forcing the Austrian hand much more than in the case of Germany. The lat ter, it is pointed out, realizes Austria’s precarious situation and is trying tc get peace talk started before the volcano explodes. - Substance of Note AMSTERDAM, Oct. 7.—The text of the note forwarded by the imperial Ger man chancellor. Prince Maximilian, to President Wilson, through the Swiss government, follows: "The German government requests the president of the United States to take in hand the restoration of peace, acquaint all the belligerent states ol ; this request and invite them to send I plenipotentiaries for the purpose of j opening negotiations. | “It accepts the grogram set forth by the president of the United States in his message on January 8 and in his later pronouncements, especially his speech of September 27, as a basis for peace negotiations. "With a vieV to avoiding further bloodshed, the German government re quests the immediate conclusion of an armistice on land and water and in the air.” . ... . It is announced that Turkey will take a similar step. ' TRUSTING IN GOTT, KAISER ASKS FOR HONORABLE PEACE BERLIN. Oct. 7. —(Via Basel. Switz erland.)—Emperor William today is sued a proclamation to the German army and navy in which, after an nouncing that the Macedonian front had crumbled, he declared that he had de cided in accord with his allies to again offer peace to the enemy. The text of the emperor’s proclama tion reads: "For months past the enemy, with enormous exertions and almost without pause in the fighting, has against our lines. In weeks of strug gles, often without repose, you have had to persevere and resist a numeric- . ally far superior enemy. Therein lies the greatness of the task which lias been set for you and which you are fulfilling. Troops of all the German states are doing their part and ar< heroically defending the fatherland on foreign soil. Hard is the task. “Mv navy is holding its own against the united enemy naval forces and is unwaveringly supporting the army in its difficult struggle. "The eyes of those at home rest with pride and admiration on the deeds ol the army and navy*- I express to you the thanks of myself and the father land. - "The collapse of the Macedonian front has occurred in the midst of the hardest struggle. In accord with cur allies, I have resolved once more to offer peace to the enemy, but I will only extend my hand for an honorable peace. We owe that to the heroc« who have laid dpwn their lives for the fa therland. and we make that our duty to our children. “Whether arms will be lowered is a question. Until then we must not slacken. We must, as hitherto, exert all our strength unwearily to hold our ground against the onslaught of our enemies. • _ . "The hour is grave, but. trusting !r your strength and in God's gracious help, we feel ourselves to be strong enough to defend our beloved father- ( land.
