“Save Your Money” is aIWaYSi good advice, and particularly at tile present time. when the whole World is in a state of unrest on account of war conditions. There is never any use in being too pessimistic when disturbances oc- cur. but it is Wise always to save money and be prepared for possi- bi-e or probable emergencies. ~va mm Things are serious at the pres- ent time, and only those who hOpe to benefit by the destruction of crOps and property in other lands can possibly Wish for the war to continue. We hope the present trouble will soon end and that the passing of the War clouds may usher in a dawn of peace for the benefit of the whole world. 'When the, history of this. the greatest of all Wars. comes to be written. and whatever may be its issue, the stand made bv the Be]- gians will. in any case be thPe earliest and possibly the most conâ€"l Spicuous of its features. It may also prove the decisive moment affecting and conditioning all the subsequent operations. Be it remembered also to the credit of the Belgians when they tires; themselves heroically into the forefront of the fray, that they had no knowledge or assurance that their action could be timeous- or sufficiently supported. 80 strong was their national spirit that they acted instinctively. and that alone enabled them to thxv art the onslaught of the self-confident “Germans. DURHAM. AUGUST ‘27. 1°14. Every day’s delay in the ad- vance of the German legions addâ€" ed to the difficulties that had to be surmounted. Both French and British troops were pouring into the threatened territory and pre- paring successive lines of defence; which can only be carried at large expense of life and time. The passage through Belgium regard- ed by the German strategists as practically assured, has proved a will-o-the-WiSp, luring one of the main German armies into a situ- ation necessitating either a vast expenditure of strength and time or an entire recasting of the plan of campaign. WHAT BEIGIANS HAVE DONE FOUR. Germany’s chief and perhaps o-nlv hope lay in rapidity of ;move- ment and so catching France un- prepared. and by a swift series of successes crushing her power of resistance, as, indeed, happened in 1870, then less than a month made ultimate victory assured. The ser- ried array of fortifications con- structed on the Franco-German frontier made that avenue impos- sible for the desired purpose. The way of access led through Bel- gium, and the German vvar lord evidently believed that Belgium, if 1 not actively supporting, would adopt an attitude of benevolent neutrality. The Belgians, how- ever, like .the Scots of six centur- ies ago, valued independence more than life and have covered them- selves with corresponding glory. 4'.

We alighted in front of a big building. I entered it between my guards (after I had paid for the ride), and the next thing I knew I was behind bars. I never was so mad in my life. “Say,” I called to the gendarmes. “you popin- jays! You‘ve forgotten to collect for letting me stay in here.

I had little djfliculty in convincing him that I was an inoffen- slve American citizen (traveling for pleasure) and he went ofl to find out what was the matter. When he came back he asked: “Why didn’t you give your landlord a description of yourself?” - “He didn’t ask for one.” “He says you were handed the print- ed slip he must turn into the police describing every person who comes to his house and you refused to fill it out. file then reported your arrival. a de- scription of you and your refusal to {give him the required information 'They are looking for an anarchist about your size and thought perhaps rested yon partly on account of your refusal to give information of yourself and partly on suspicion.
