SCARCITY OF FOOD
 IN BRUSSELS |S 4
 GRAVE PROBLEM
People in Grave Danger of Standardization Sol diers in Antwerp Show
 Superb Spirit

London, September B.-(9:05 p. m.)-The scarcity of food in Brussels has raised a grave problem, according to MT. flaw kin, who has just returned from Belgium after completing arrangements to trans fer a number of wounded Belgian soldiers 10 England.
 @The situation in Brussels Is one of great uncertainty" said MT, Hawkins to- night. There Is gravest danger of star vation. Food is sarce, and 1S0.000 people are applying for rations which the Ger man administration is finding 1t difficult to supply. There is further danger that the working men of the city may rise in revolt
 Mir. Hawkin was greatly impressed by the spirit of the Belgian troops at Ant werp. Regarding conditions there he ssid+
 Every night sortie is made and every morning brings its quota of dead and wounded, sometimes as many as 1000, making a heavy drain on the garrison. sut tie usefulness of these expeditions cannot be exaggerated. The German out posts are reported as almost terrorized, not night passing without some of them being picked off or some of their supply trains being blown up. All these incl dents tend to upest the carefully planned arrangements of the German army. The Belgians at Anwerp have been nicknamed the Black Rats on account of their de- structive nocturnal visits It is remark able that in the vigor of military opera tions the greater proportion both of killed and wounded civilians. The German soldiers have tried to strike ter TOT to the hearts of the people of Ant werp in order that their determination to hold out to the end might be shat tered. But the firm resolve of King AL bert to resist all German offers has en- deared him to the hearts of his people, and they are content to follow his lead. This was shown when his majesty refused even to receive the last German deputa- ion."
 MT. Hawxin added that the Antwerp hospitals were full and the fact that the Germans with the occupation of Brussels had annuexed the Belgian Red Cross or ganization, including it's funds, left its Red Cross branches in great difficulty. Con- seQuently the Belgian government gladly accepted the proposal that convalescent wounded soldiers who. owing to the na- ture of their injuries would be unable to rejoin the colors, should be brought to England.

RHEIMS CATHEDRAL
 PAST RESTORATION

Paris, September 29.-tS:01 D. m.) The artistic beauty of the cathedral of Rheims which suffered in the German ponbardment of that town. never can lee iestored in the opinion of Whitney Warren, the New York architect, back from Rheims where he inspected the famous structure.
 MT. Warren's investigation has no official character, but the result of his observations will be communicated to Myron T. Herrick, American ambas- sador to France.
 That anything remains of the ca-, thedral,' said MT. Warren, "is owing to the strong construction of what might be called the carcass of the cathedral. whose walls and vaults are of robustness which can resist even modern implements of war"

from the situation today is to manufac- ture well as produce it's cotton. A pound of cotton sells for 10 cents m the bale, but the same pound of cotton could be made to bring anywhere from 50 cents to s5 according to it's manufacture. Sell ing the raw material is the poorest econ omy, if it can be called economy at all, and if the south does not take advantage of the experience this lesson teaches it is because the south lacks the spirit of en- terprise necessary to turn mifortunes into blessings.
 Let the south save and keep it's cotton even if it be necessary to live on bread and water for a year or so. The world wants cotton, it is true, but the world wanth cotton goods worse- If the south has the same spirit that the Irish have; if it has the same energy and enterprise 1t will arise from It's present distress greater. richer and a stronger people.
 Sharks and spectators are watching the situation and await the moment when they may take advantage of 1t, but their watching and waiting will De in vain If the south through temporary sacrifice rises superior to the occasion.
 Cotton is not perishable article. Bale 1t, store it, borrow money on it; one-tenth of it's value will build thousand cotton mills and these will turn out the manu- factured goods that the world wants. Then will follow the real harvest when instead of the hundreds of millions that are now received for the raw material in the bale there will be the thousand of mill lions for the manufactured article.
 If the farmers will hold their cotton this year plant little or none next year, but instead of cotton raise corn to feed the starving in Europe after the war they will accomplish a double beneficence and both to their own advantage.

BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE
fly F. !. MONKS

That misfortunes may be blessings in disguise is very often the case as re- cent occurrence will serve to prove and at the same time furnish an example worthy of imitation.
 Just as the cotton crop is the great source of revenue to the south. so are cattle the great source of revenue to Ire land About three years ago a disease known as the foot and mouth disease broke out among the cattle in Ireland, and immediately their exportation from Ireland to England was prohibited by an order in council. The farmers in Ireland found themselves with thousands of fat cattle ready for market but no market Although there might be only one in fected beast found in a herd, that was sufficient to quarantine the whole lot Protests were in vain; there was no re- dress.
 Arising out of this misfortune came the greatest blessing Ireland has known in century. When the exportation of cattle as live stock was stopped the farmers decided to kill the cattle and send the dressed beef to the English markets, with the result that they received just as much money for the beef and still had the hides and horns, etc., left. Then there sprung up industrial enterprises for the of by-products, which gave employment at good wages, and put a check upon the stream of emigration through which the life blood of the coun- try was flowing away.

 But whether there are Russions or not on the Belgian coast there are certainly enough Belgians and English to seriously endanger the German communications aross central and southern Belgium. If this force could make a raid and tear up the railways so that the German armies In France could get no food or supplies, then those armies would be in desperate position
 Therefore it seems that the Germans have come to one, of two decisions at the conclusion of the battle of the Marne: First, to retire on their defenses in Ger man territory, where they could probably hold the allies with much inferior forces than are necessary for an offensive cam

 Business arrangements2 repeated Violet in surprise. ri don't quite get you, child. It's going to cost us about $5.OOo real money to stage this. and we're responsible for a lot more. But you needn't worry about it.
 You don't understand me- return= ed Melissa. You're expecting to nnatic production upon my talent, and what I want to know is, What do I get?"

 'That'lI be about all. Blackie,'; ad- monished Violet Bonnie. Remember, guest At the same time, you might be right. Why, Melissa. none of us had figured on anything but to give you the total profits. 2
