Noble Town Hall Wrecked.

TRY TO take it," said DR.. Munroe,
Who was sitting beside the chauffeur.
The cars bumped over the high de-
bris and then swept round into the
square, spacious place, with what
was left of the town hall on one side
There was only splendid shell left,
the skeleton of noble building which
once was the pride of Flemish crafts
men. Parts of it were still falling. A
pillar leaned forward and then toppled
down. A mass of masonry crashed
from portico.
Some stiff, dark forms lay among
the fallen stones. They we're dead
soldiers.
The cars were brought to halt
outside the hailding. Cigarettes were
lighted. Something was needed to
steady the nerves. There was never
q moment when she'll was not burst.

Falling Walls in Dixmude.

The car went forward at what
seemed d crawl, though it was Il fair
pace. Shells were bursting all around.
On all sides shrapnel bullets sprayed
the earth. But the ambulance got into
Dixmude without mishap.
The town was place of death and
horror. The streets we're utterly de-
serted and wrecked from end to end
as though by an earthquake. Inces-
SAINT explosions of shell fire crashed
down the walls which still stood. Great
gashes opened in the walls, which then
toppled and fell. A roof came tum-
bling down with an appalling clatter
Like a house of cards blown by puff
of wind. d little shop suddenly col
lapsed into mass of ruins.
Here and there further in the town
living figures could be seen. They ran
swiftly for a moment and then dis
appeared into dark caverns under the
topping porticos. They were Belgian
soldiers.
In a side street leading into the
Town Hall square it seemed impos-
sible to pass owing to the wreckage
strewn across the ROAD.

From Failure to Fulfill Contracts.

Washington. June 4.-The agree
ment between the United States. Great
Britain and the Netherlands as a
means of protecting their citizens in
the Mexican oil fields was officially an
nounced in the following statement:
THE withdrawal Of the foreigners
from the Tampico oil fields after the
occupation of Vera Cruz by American
forces and the danger of returning
while military operations were in pro-
gress have made it impossible for the
operators of the oil wells in every case
to meet their contractual obligations
or to comply with the requirements OF
the authorities. AS possible resul.
the contracts may be Cancelled or some
of the properties may be con Sscated
and interests resold.
Not to Force Compliance.
THE matter has been brought to the
attention of the governments of the
United States. Great Britain and the
Netherlands. appreciating the great
injustice to the operators who for
their safety, were compelled to leave
the district and so were unable to COM
ply with their contracts and legal pro-
visions, the three governments have
formally agreed that they will not sup
port automatically any claims to in
terests in the oil regions acquired di-
rectly or indirectly by their respective
nations since April 20, 1914, which in
any way were affected by cancellation
or conflscation resulting from the in
ability of the bona fide owners to meet
their contractual or legal obligations
because of military operations or the
disturbed political state In and about
Tampfco and Tuxpam.
This agreement in no way, however.
affects any case in which the owner
could have performed the obligation. or
any case OF legitimate transfer"
