Customs Force Cut,
But Clerks Keep Jobs

No reduction in the force of clerks in
the customs division of the Treasury
Department will be brought about
through the reforms adopted by Assis-
tant Secretary Hamlin, it was said to-
day, although n reduction of seventy
five inspectors and many clerks in the
field force will be made. The reforms
were recommended by the collectors OF
customs who met in New York recently,
and were made possible by the earlier
consolidation of some of the customs
districts.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin believes a
saving of $l5o,0O0 a year will result from
the elimination of duplication and use

THE LOSSES IN LOUVAIN WHICH NO
CHRONICLER WILL EVER RECORD.

If it confined itself to destroying forts and
cradles OF barbed wire then 1t would be sui
fcenty hdeous. But it strikes blindly, bru-
tally; it tramDles on the innocent and the beau
tiful It is the bull in the china shop, and the
mad dog who snaps at children who are trying
only 20 avoid him. People were incensed at
the destruction in Louvain OF the library the
Catholic college the Church Of ST. Pierre that
dated from the thirteenth century. These
buildings belonged to the world, and over their
loss the world was rghtfully indignant, but in
Louvain there were also shops and manufac-
tories, hotels and private houses Each be-
longed, not TO the world, but to one family.
These individual families made up a city OF
$4,000 people. In two days there was not a
roof left to cover one Of them. The trade
those people had built up had been destroyed,
the goodwill and hZings" the stock on the
shelves and in the storerOon, the goods in the
shop windows, the portraits in the drawing
room, the souvenirs and family heirlooms, the
love letters, the brides veil, the babys first
worsted shoes, and the will by which some one
beoueathed to his beloved wife all his worldly
goods.
War came and sent all these possessions, in
GLIDING the will and the worldly goods, up into
the air in flames. Most Of the people OF Lou
vain made their living by manufacturing church
ornaments and brewing beer. War was impair
tial. and destroyed both the beer and the
church ornaments. It destroyed also the men
who made them. and it drove the women and
children into concentration camps. When first

porous city The streets were spotless, the shop
windows and cafes werr modern, rich looking,

were the things you saw on every side, from
Brussels to the German border. The peasants
themselves were huddled beneath bridges. They
were like vast camps of gypsies, except that
less fortunate than the gypsy, they had lost
what he neither possesses nor desires home
AS the enemy advanced the inhabitants OF one
village would fly for shelter to the next, only
by the shells to be whipped further forward;
and so, each hour growing in number, the refu-
gees fed toward Brussels and the coast. They
were an army of tramps, OF women and chill
dren tramps, sleeping in the open helds, be-
meath the hayricks seeking shelter from the
rain living on the raw turnips and carrots they
had plucked from the deserted vegetable gar
dens. The peasants were not the only ones
who suffered. The rich and the noble born
were as unhappy and as homeless. They had
credit. and in the banks they had money, but
they could not get at the money; and when
chateau and farmhouse are in flames, be-
tween them there is little choice.

The daily sentinel., 1914-05-06

One hundred and twenty years
ago today occurred the events which
resulted in an insurrection for the
independence OF Ireland. At mid
night OF that day Dublin was in an
uproar. The doors of local legis-
latiye reform club, branch of the
United Irishmen society, burst open
with crash. In the doorway stood
the scarlet-coated soldiers of the
king, covering the assembled Irish
men with their guns The leaders
were arrested and carried off to the
jail for treason. From this moment
dates the insurrection that was
fought out four years later. Ire
land was flooded with government
troops, but the society grew rapidly
Oaths OF membership and secrecy
were administered. Pixies and muni-
tions OF war were secretly distributed
and hidden for the uprising. The
society had over 100000 members at
the beginning of 1898. Stern meas
ures to stamp out the rebellion were
Instituted. The insurrection began
near Stafford on the 24th of May.
II ragged for a month. closing in the
battle Of Vinegar Hill with victory
for the government. The rebellion
cost the lives of $50. 900 Irishmen and
10000 Englishmen. Three years
later the Irish Parliament was re-
moved from Dublin and united with
the English at London.
