Throughout the war Belgium has had no feeling except that of abso- lute devotion to king and country. They have undergone untold hard- ships and suffering, mental and physical. They have clung to their royal house in full allegiance. And yet King Albert has read the signs] of the times so accurately that his first official step in public has been the introduction of new democratic principles the government of his- country. It is another evidence that Albert, King of the Belgians, is into TELLS INTERESTING FACTS ON FALL VOTE A booklet issued by Illinois' Secre- tary of State Louis L. Emmerson, entitled, "Official list of State Of- ficers of Illinois", contains interest- ing data concerning the official re- sult of the ballot on the Hard Roads, Banking ILaw and Constitutional Convention issues presented to the voters at the recent fall election. The prominent proposition sub- mitted was that providing for thé calling of a Constitutional convention and as this proposition called for a majority of all votes cast it took considerable time and effort to se- cure the figures so that the official report as to whether the proposition | a man of vision as well as of con- science. Much To Be Done -- So many people are adopting the | easy going idea' now an armistice has! been declared and the war is at an! end that it relieves them of the re-| sponsibility of doing any more war] work, The stern fact remains that! there is a great deal of very neces-! sary work to be done with one-tenth! of the volunteer workers showing any disposition to join in it. This is | felt all along the line from Red Cross | efforts to those who are planning an extensive reconstruction program. There is so much to do in demobil- ization alone that is intimately. con- | cerned with the welfare of those who went to war and their immediate re- latives or dependents. Concerning the government provision for those |: . « . . : who have sacrificed their bread wine | ner on the altar of their country, Uncle Sam generous in providing insurance, at a remark- has been very ably low rate, compensation .in ad- the payment of and. a: nmumber dition funeral ex-* penses of 'other al- lowances. 'It is' unfortunate, how- that the Washingten are unable to make pay- ever, dishursing offices in several anything like the ment under -these divisions with promptness that would characterize an insurance | or trust company. The fault may be, that the job is | so extensive that it is necessary to wait for months before receiving on resulting from the death of soldier or sailor, but it claims would seem as though less red tape and more efficiency should accompany these generous government sions. There are cases where very con- siderable hardships have resulted from the inability to get just claims through, and it. would though, in common justice to these soldiers' and there should seem as sailors' be a reconstruction of { the civilian forces at Washington at | the same time that provision is be- ing made for the home coming army. War Books and War History A half century will be required to provide the right perspective of the events of 'the last four and a half years before a 'real history of the war may be written. . The difficulty of these historians of the future will be nof the difficulty of finding terials upon the war hut ma- the enor- mous. task ofassorting true from false in the abundant literature 'of the day, even in. the 'authoritative docu- nients. of the heads of governments and armies, Feig : Of the making:.of war books there has. indeed "seemed to be no' end. Every shop that deals in books has its tables devoted to the literature of the war, much of it literature only in the sense that it is printed matter. All of it, practically, purports to be' fact, and much of it is conflicting or contradictory. It will be the task of the historian of the future to sift the mass, to determine what is worthy of trust, what is mere pro- paganda, what is written for the sake of the money that stich books bring today. And it will be no small task. No Place for Bird-Killing Cats A campaign against cats found in pursuit of birds has been authorized by law in New York, This act was the result of a compromise secured by those who desired a provision that cats should be licensed.

This wads before the Christian era. The town blocked the attacks of the earlier Huns, and | in the fifth century it passed into the | hands of the Franks, when its first | Christian house of worship was built. Charles the Bold was crowned in Metz, and Louis the Pious was buried there. In 843 Metz was the capital | of the kingdom of lorraine. "Clean Coal" Order Enforced The Fuel Administration has not | relaxed vigorous dealing with mine operators for violations of regula- | tions governing the proper prepara- | tion of coal before it is marketed. | Four mines were ordered closed down during the week ended Novem- ber 16, for such violations. Three other mines, previously shut down for this reason, were allowed to re- sume operations upon guaranties that the rules would be obeyed. Wild Duck Consumes Much Rice On his way down from Canada or Alaska to the Gulf, the wild duck makes a stop-over of 90 days in the California rice fields, and during his stay consumes a large part of the rice crop, a cupful of rice at a meal. This. considering that the wild duck appears in numbers of perhaps a million or so, makes the situation & much more serious than it sounds.
