Sc oir e 0,600 or BELGIAN ARMY NOW RUINS Total Number of Men of the Original Two Hundred and Thirty Thousand Men Under Arms. Furnea, We§t Flanders. Sixty thou sand worn Boldiern strung along the Yaf-r, where they checked the rush of I the german Invaders toward Pas do Calais, are all that arc left of the Bel- ! gian army of two hundred and thirty ) thousand men under arms when Gefr- | many lnva.ded Belgium, but one of King i Albert's staff officers who has been with the army since the siege of Liege, as serts that the small Belgian force today Is a far more efficient machine than that which met the first. German attack. He said to The Associated Tress cor respondent : "When we reached the YseS* we were a beaten and demoralized army, almost to the point, of absolute disorganization. Fighting for weeks without adequate support from our allies, and with most i of our men believeing that we had been j left to our fate, the chances of ever again making a fighting f >rce of our army seemed remote. That we did so was due to the highest and lowest sac- , Uft'u In our civilization, e Inspiration and activity of our king and the fighting spirit of our peasantry z "The king's aristocratic regiment of guards Is a thing of the past. They have been disbanded and their places taken by two regiments made up of Flemish peas ants and commanded by active young of ficers in Belgium. Part Glory. "When the critical situation along the : Yser was realized the local peasantry j seemed to remember the g ory of their past when their people were the terror of the invading Spaniard and it needed 1 only the actual leadership of .the king to j weld them into the fighting force you , see here today. The king is command- I w of this army and during those nine | terible days In the trenches while the ( Germans hurled their hosts at us. and we waited In vain for the expected sup- i port, the king was not only an insptra- \ tlnn to his officers and men ns he fought j beside them, but he proved himself a capable military leader. Today the army is efficient fighting force, too small of course, for we are unable to give our | men leave from the trenches such as , the French and Bngllfh now enjoy, and till* ha* caused mime natural complaint, ! hut In spit" of "'l*. ** you can we for vouraelf. tha spirits of tho soldiers ooulrl not ho bettor. These men are all veterans now and most of them are young In year*. The officers are picked tor their work without regard to their former rank and many of the highest of ficers of the army have been relegated to posts where they are doing useful work, but where they cannot repeat any of the blunders which marked the first part of tiie war. • •We have no apologies to make for our artillery. This service was tho real ly professional branch of the army Into which officers went fur pure love <vf their profession, and from I.lege to the Yser they have proven themaelves | worthy of the cause for which they are | fighting Some Idea of toe value placed : on our artillery Is Indicated by the fact . that « Belgian cuptnln of artillery was placed In command of two hundred French guns nnd directed thelv fire con tinuously for thirty six hours in one of | the fiercest artillery duels of the cam | puign. Cyclist. ••Only second to our artillery are tae regular cyclist corp* and the voluntary motor corps The cyclist* were well trained and the Uhlans will long have cause to remember their marksmanship. 1 The automobile driver* volunteered from | what might have been railed tho hut ter fly cluss of society youths, but they have proven as tough as the battered cars which they drive. They have endured Incredible hardships and many of them occupy unmarked graves, the sole re ward for some desperate scouting ven ture. The less said about our Infantry ex isting at the beginning of the war the better, hut the work of the men out there in the trenches has paid In full for any laist shortcomings In this branch of the service We only have a few euuare tulles of our country left and practically all of this Is subject to •artillery fire, but the same spirit which made the l»w Countries famous a* bat tle ground* In the Middle Ages seems to have revived a tenacity In our army which will continue to hold West Fland ers until the advance on Brussels be gins." ENGLISH SCIENTISTS SAY FIRING OF GUN HAS NOT A THING TO DO WITH RAIN London. —English .dentists have * again been compelled to ns.urn the 'public that neither the smell of pow j .ter nor the concussion of gun-fire tin* the slightest connection with rainfall. From several sources It hail been a»- Iserteil that the heavy and persistent | rains recently experienced In Southern Knglanit and Northern France were attributed to atmospheric disturb ances produced by artillery fire at the seat of war "Like the supposed Influence of the moon upon weather, the popular be* I lief that powder brings rain is base ness," writes a scientist In the Times, | "About four years ago the First laird i>f the Admiralty was gravely asked In the House of Commons whether he j would Instruct the fleet to carry out jits heavy practice at some other pe ■ rlod of the year than In the middle of harvest time, 'when the resultant heavy rains may cause serious loss to the farming community.' The Idea Is | absolutely without foundation. Kx perlments made In America and on I the continent show that In dry westh ler no amount of concussion has the slightest effect In the production o. ] tain •'At the present time there ts one , fact which should at once dispose of l the cherished theory. There ts no | reason for thinking that gun firing at the front Is more violent than It was In the earlier stages of the war. The rain should therefore, have com menced shortly after the outbreak of j the war. As a matter of fact, noth ing of the kind took place In Au gust and September the rainfall was much below the average "At Shoeburyness, where Mg guns ! are being tested almost dally, year In and year out. the average annual rain fall Is smaller than in any other port of the United Kingdom" Tbs Best Croup Medicine.
