Naval Code Books.

On every ship In the American navy
the commanding officer and the second
in command are each furnished with a
copy of the secret naval code OF the
government These books are bound
not as ordinary books. in cloth covers,
but in heavy metal backs. The object
is to prevent them from falling in the
hands of the enemy, for their weight
Is SO great that when thrown into the
water they sink Immediately, whereas
If bound In the usual manner the
spreading leaves might keep them
afloat long enough to permit vigilant
enemy to pick them up.
These officers are commanded first Of
all things to throw these books over
board before surrendering their ves-
sells or whenever there is danger OF an
enemy getting aboard. The capture of
one Of these books, it is considered by
the naval authorities. would be more
disastrous in time of war than the loss
Of battleship. Washington Star

Parade of the Snail.

Mons, like Namur. is fond OF fete
and professions and military pomp.
Every year on Trinity Sunday comes
the parade of Lume Con-Walloon for
snail. The snail. however. is a
mighty dragon Of thirty feet in
length. When the march through the
streets is ended gentleman known
as Giles de Chin steps forward and
pretends to slay the dragon-so that
the parallel is complete. In this pro-
cession in former days an enormous
cannon used to be carried. It is be-
Heved that the cannon was the one

1,5OOHOLLANDERS
SAIL ON MONDAY
AS RESERv|STS
Meanwhile 10000 Germans
and Austrians Remain
Stranded in New York.

The 10000 German and Austrian
rescrvists now stranded In New
York because OF the closing Of the
sens to ships Of their nationaiitios
will realise the grim irony OF war
when on Monday they see 1900 Hol-
landers sail on the Holland-Amer-
lea line steamship Rotterdam for the
protection Of their country. The
1900 Dutch reservists can sail 10
Amsterdam without hindrance: the
10000 Teutons and Magyars must
stay.
A. Won d'Sandc Bakhuyzen, Consul
General for Holland, at No. II Broad
way. said to-day an Official cable re-
ceived last night told him the neu-
traiity Of the Netherlands had not
been violated yet, but that there was
danger Of the little country being
involved in the great war.
IF worst came to worst" said the
Consul-General. my country could
food strip six miles wide and extend
Ing clear across the path Of invaders
to the depth Of two and half feet.
Though this depth would not be suf-
f,cient to prevent wading, the pres
once Of canals hidden by the water
level would prove traps"
DR.. Charles @. Winter, Acting Con-
sui General Of Austria II hungary. and
DR.. Horst Falck. the German Con-
sui General, both announced TODAY
that they had given up all effort to
move tho reservists OF their rcspec-
tive countries away from American
shores. All who have 80 far regis
tered at the two Offices have been
advised to return to their employ
ment and walt possible further
call from the representatives Of their
countries. Many who were desti-
tute have been supplied with funds
for their return journey by the con-
sulates and benevolent societies.
More than $4,000 post cards have
been sent out by the German Con-
sulate to reservists In this consular
district not yet answering the call
to arms notifying them to stay where
they are.
The French reservists share with
the Netherlanders the Joy OF anob-
structed passage home. Following
the first consignment that sailed On
La Lorraine Wednesday 1000 more
will sail by the Fabre Line (French)
steamship to- morrow, andkhe French
Line steamship Rochambeau will sail

The call for reservists sent out by
the French Government has brought

The wives and children Of many Of
the reservists who came from points

them to this city. Mothers with fam

came with their husbands. Brides
also arrived. but at the pier Of the
French line. where they expected to

Similar scenes will probably be re-
peated to- morrow when the steamer

the French Government, leaves with
q large detachment Of reservists.
Especially pathetic Ii the predica-
ment Of a French woman with six
children who came from Connecticut
