FALL OF NAMUR CHARGED

LONDON, October 5.-The fall of the
Belgian city of Namur was due large

cording to the Times correspondent in
Belgium. I'm one of the principal fea-

commander saw that resistance was i'm
possible without reinforcements he
tried to rally all the forces from the
outlying forts to the main points of
defense, but owing to the work of
spies he found his underground te1e-
phone system destroyed. He was thus
unable to direct his campaign or to
summon reinforcements.
"As the result of the crippling of the
telephone lines each regiment was
compelled to fight its way out of Ma
muir separately, with heavy losses. If
the garrison had remained twelve
hours longer not a man or gun would
have been able to join the allies. AS
a matter of fact only $4,000 of the
garrison of $4,000 escaped.
THE German attack on Namur was

i The searchli8l't
Defense of Ultra Violet Rays.

So much has been imputed to the al
legged dangerous effects of ultra violet
rays on the eyesight that vigorous
defense of-them by Profs. F. H. Ver-
hoeff and Louis Bell, recently an
nounced. has caused animated discus
sion in the scientific world. Even
scientists who are making an intense
study of the subject, necessitating
heavy strain on the eyes, are not i'm
periled, they claim. The injury to the
eyes comes from the undue use, which
is usual in all scientific experiments
and not from the ultra violet rays
themselves.
Experiments lasting about year are
the basis of this unexpected announce
ment. Rabbits, monkeys and. human
subjects furnished the operative ma
terial. AS a result, Messrs Verhoefi
and Bell confidently declare that the
retina may be subjected for an hour
or more to a. light bath Of extreme in
tensity without suffering serious ef-
fects. They believe that the eye is toe
well protected to be damaged unless

FRANCIS JOSEPH GIVES
UP VISITING WOUNDED
Hospitals and Temporary Asylums
in London Reported to Be
Crowded.

ROME, via Paris, October 5.-A report
received here from Vienna says that
Emperor Francis Joseph has yielded to
the advice Of his physicians to abstain
from visiting the hospitals where
wounded soldiers are being treated.
Archduke Eugene will now take up
this task for the emperor.
The Vienna hospitals and all tempo
rary asylums for sick and wounded SOL
diers are reported to be fearfully crowd
ed. The city council has decided to build
additional wooden barrack hospitals,
which will be furnished with 1000
beds.
The great block Of buildings compris-
ing the University of Vienna has been
given over entirely to wounded soldiers.
The students now meet in improvised
lecture rooms in various public build
ings.
The army Of destitute and unemployed
people in the Austrian capital Is in
creasing daily. Thousands are threatened
with starvation. The authorities esti-
mate that it will be necessary to pro-
vide free meals for 100000 persons
daily. and measures are being taken to
carry this into effect.
Owing to the rapid advance in the rise
of meat and the shortage Of livestock,
the city council has asked the govern
ment to permit the Importation Of 1000
| tons of Argentina beef.

BIRDS NOT PLENTIFUL.
Hunters Occasionally Get Good Bags
in the Marshes.

Bird hunters in the marshes about
the city are having some little success
but the birds are said to be by nc
means plentiful, and full game bag
after days hunting, is the exception
and not the rule.
Black and reed birds are being shot
in the marshes in the vicinity of Alex
anders Island, on the Virginia side OF
the Potomac. and the birds. the hunters
say, are more numerous there than in
any other marsh about the city.
Few wild ducks have yet been seen
on the river, and fewer have been shot
They have not yet made their appear
ance in the markets of the city. Dealers
do not look for them in any consider
able numbers until after cold, frosty
weather.
After the first good heavy frost OF
fall, hunters say, they can be looked
for. and they generally come after a
cold northwest wind has been blowing
for several days. In the past several
years ducks have been scarce on the
Potomac, few being seen even in the
vicinity of this city. where they can
feed undisturbed, being protected by

The so-called clerical peril has dis

Germans Take Elaborate Precautions
/ to Protect Ruler Against
- Attack.

LONDON, October 5-The Daily Call,
new London paper issued today,
prints dispatch from it's Amsterdam
correspondent which says that the
German emperor has promised to con-
fer special decoration, second class,
OF the Order of the Red Eagle, on the
first German aviator to drop explosives
on London.
Describing the daily life of the en-
peror at the front, the correspondent
says that when staying in France the
emperor caused the chateau in which
he lived to be fortified against aerial
attacks by sacks of sand piled on the
roof, and by a protective shield of
metal work.
When the emperor moves his head
quarters a small army of military en-
gineers precedes him to carry out such
defensive measures as are necessary.
Guards on Every Hand.
Around the French chateau were a
special bodyguard, a detachment out
side the emperor's bedroom, another in
the hall, another at the front door and
two more in the rooms above and be-
meath the sleeping room. Three un-
DToken lines OF SentrleS surrounded
the house. and whole battalion of in
fantry and several squadrons of cav
airy were encamped in the adjoining
park.
This chateau, according to the cor
respondent, was twenty miles from the
front, and linked by a telegraph line
with the headquarters of the nearest
army, SO that the emperor would not
be endangered by a sudden retreat.
Visit to the Front.
When the emperor left the chateau
he greeted the men with: Good morn
ing, soldiers!" He then was whirled
away in a motor car to the front, the
imperial standard following in a sec
ond car. At the front the customary
ceremony still was shown. stand
ardbearer rode behind the emperor.
along the front from point to point.
During the morning the emperor de-
livered nine speeches to different
troops. Lunch was partaken of in the
open air before the commanding gen.
erals tent, the wine and food being
taken from the house of a French
country gentleman and served by
f1unkeys in gorgeous uniforms.
There were many more visits to the
troops and speeches in the afternoon;
then back to the chateau for dinner.
At no time of the day had the en-
peror been near enough to be, under

How the War Affects Us.
KILL Concerning Copper.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

1t is assumed by historians that the
bloody feud of man against man gave
way to war of clan. against clan when
the human race progressed from the
age of stone to the age of bronze. How
small is the measure of our progress
is shown in the fact that our modern
warfare Is essentially matter of cop
per. We are not far beyond the age
of bronze.
A nation at war can last only as long
as its copper supply. No field army
ever was reduced so nearly to COM
plete exhaustion as the Confederate
army, commanded by Robert E. Lee.
Months before Appomattox. Gen. Lee
sent his best young officers through
Confederate territory to collect COM
mon copper kettles and copper-bot-
toned wash boilers that from the cop
per thus salved percussion caps might
be made to keep the army fighting.
When the end finally came. strange
as it may seem, there was still little
food in Petersburg and Richmond
there were still scanty suppnes OF
clothing; still a few. very Few, shoes;
there was even a considerable amount
of gold coin in the Confederate treas
ury; but there was no copper. When
the last supply of percussion caps
failed to arrive at Amelia Court House,
as was scheduled, the Confederacy died.
Its surrender at Appomattox day or
two later could not be delayed.
There are copper mines in most OF
the European countries ana tnere Is
not. under present conditions. any dan
ger that any of the warning nations
will soon have to face a shortage IN
copper. And yet some remar pie
things are already to be notlceo IN

states. IlcTe WAS
much comment among copper men while
these large shipments were being made
and doubt was cast on European assur-
ances that the metal was going into
actual consumption The argument
was advanced that the condition Of the
manufacturing industry in Europe did
not warrant such extraordinarily
heavy demands for copper.
The war apparently affords a solu-
tlon OF this mystery, as these large
.aklnss OF copper may have been used
IN preparation for hostilities. Many
miillons or pounds must have been re-
CURED by the arsenal, ammunition and
oIanance manufacturers in their prepa-
ration Tor this struggle. At the same
time the United States was kept com
pietely In the dark. as there was no in
timation at any time that this record
breaking demand was occasioned by
the approaching conflict, and that
Americas surplus copper production
was being made into cartridges, shells
and other death-dealing Implements
instead of being turned into peaceable
machinery.
The curtailment Of the American pro-
duction by SO per cent is said to rep
resent the first united action on the
part, OF the copper producers of this
country. 1t now begins to appear that
the reduction was too great, and il
events shall bear out the optimistic

their output by half the copper miners
are not keeping up with; the actual de-

cumulated by the mines before the cur
tailment policy became. effective will
continue to supply the refiners for the
next two or three months. so that the
cut in surplus stocks will not be ap-
parent until the latter part OF the year.
If the present demand keeps up. the
mines will be forced to Increase their
production in the early part Of 1915.
Europe is confining its purchases to
immediate requirements and American
consumers are doing the same thing.
Should there be a sudden change for
the better in conditions. a copper famine
could hardly be averted.
Most of the copper now going abroad
is destined for Great Britain and
France. Germany is entirely cut off.
That country Is a heavy exporter of
manufactured copper. and also uses
thousands of tons of raw copper for its
home consumption. The feeling Of re-
stored optimism now making itself felt
in the copper industry Is partly based
on Germany's isolation.
Ordinarily, Germany imports more
than half a billion pounds Of copper
every year. Two great electrical manu-
featuring concerns in Germany last year
did a gross business of 100000 .000. The
three largest. American concerns do not
greatly exceed this total. the General
Electric reporting SLOT. 200. 900, Western
Electric $77,0O0,00O and Westinghouse
Electric $4s. 900, 900. The business of the
American electrical manufacturers has
fallen of heavily since the beginning Of
the war, and no great recovery can be
expected soon The surprise is. how
ever, that purely domestic consumption
has not diminished as greatly as was
expected.
