LONDON, Aug. s1.-The Antwerp
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
lends the following dispatch:
1T is untrue that Louvain has been
entirely destroyed by the Germans.
Many buildings were damaged by
shots and a few dwellings by fire, but
the damage is not irretrievable. This
Is due to the extraordinary fighting
qualities of the Belgians. who simply
refused to submit to the Germans. 1t
happened thus:
"There was sharp engagement a
few miles beyond the border Thurs
day. One of the many small German
forces. being thrown out of Brussels
over a wide countryside, was sur
prised by body of Belgians. They
fereived a severe check and fell back

They rushed to arms and commenced
ffing. Several Germans were shot
down before the mistake was discov-
cred AS soon as they found their
error the German soldiers seemingly
ran amuck in the town.
s'Exactly what happened during
those awful hours of darkness is diff
cult to ascertain, but when daylight
dawned the picture presented waE
clear proof that the Germans had
wreaked dire vengeance for their own
mistake on the beautiful town and res
inhabitants.
.sSeveral hotels and private houses
were in ruins whilst some of the
public buildings were damaged. Out
side the ruins of the Hotel Metropole
/ saw the bodies of many Belgians
living in the street. Some died of
bayonet wounds. The hotel had been
fred by the Germans. The reason
the Germans gave for their action
was that they had been fired upon

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Premier AS

this afternoon for having published
the dispatch which created such ex-
element Sunday morning.

said the premier, Seems to me a re-

reticence which the press as a whole
has shown up to the present, and
trust 1t will not recur."
Mr.. Asquith opened the suggestion
to allow correspondents to go to the
front, but admitted that the public
was entitled to prompt and authentic
information as to what was happen
ing, and said arrangements would be
made which he hoped would prove adj
equate. Referring to the Times dis
patch the premier then said
1T may become necessary to ask
the House to pass some drastic legis-

propose until the urgency becomes
extreme"

printed q dispatch from Amiens,
France, in which the correspondent
took a very pessimistic view of the

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
G AS Seen by the General

Public confidence is the great
est asset that any house of
business can possess. 1t IS
more to be desired than the
ability to make money.
There are degrees of public
confidence. 1t may be zero, q
minus quantity, or plus guam
tity. ~At zero no confidence ex-
ists-nobody is for or against
such house. sBut this condi-
tion can exist only where the
house or its goods are unknown,
and as soon as the public has
given the house trial it will
pass Judgment, and public con-
fldence will then be expressed
by plus or minus sign. accord
ing to the approval or disap-
proYal of the public as to the
goods and policies OF the house.
If the goods are not as repre-
scented, or If the policies are not
in accordance with the ethics of
good business, public confidence
will drop to minus quantity
and the people Will transact
business with its competitors
whose business ideals are on a
higher and more satisfactory
plane. If the goods are satis-
factory, and If the policies Of
the house are right. the people
will continue to do business
with that house and win help
TO build 1t up.
The plus sign of public con-
f1dence is always attached to
the name Of a house Of business
that considers service to it's
customers. absolute integrity
with reference to its goods, and
high ideals in its business poll
cies, as being or greater conse-
ouence than the mere earning
Of dividends. A wen satisfied
community OF customers is the
key to the success of any house
of business, and, having estab-
lished this, dividends win be
sure to follow.
