come from distant Charleroi and
other towns along the Sambre.
These people Of all classes are now
on a level, the rich, or those who
were rich. finding it just as difficult
to get the necessaries of life az the
poorest. Hotels are crowded by per-
sons Of means who, having lost their
baggage, have nothing but what
they are wearing. Many young
BruXellois, who belonged to the civic
guard, but who were disarmed and
deprived of their uniform, are going
abont in the cheapest clothes, pur-
chased in the back streets of Ostend.
Every boat to Folkestone," adds
the correspondent, is said to be the
last, and every day there is a rush
to the quay, for nobody wants to be
in Ostend when the Uhlans arrive,
and rumor has them coming hourly"

BIGGEST NAVAL MOBILIZATION
(London Chronicle9

The largest mobilization of war
ships in all history was certainly that
accomplished by Xerxes before the
battle of Salamis. According to the
detailed Agures given by Herodotus,
he mustered ,2O7 battleships -trire-
mes or ships of war with three banks
Of oars. Each of these carried aerew
of 200 rowers and 80 fighting men.
There were also 5000 smaller YES
sells of war and transports. averag-
ing 50 men each. A further 100
triremes afterward joined. Herod-
otus may even have understated the
figures. since Aeschylus gives l ,207
triremes as the number present at
the battle, and 647 had already been
lost or destroyed.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR LINES.
". R. Crawley Chosen as SAM
tary Contractor And
Inspector.

At the regular seni-monthly meet
ing Of the city council Monday night

ratified by the council without dis
cussion. The ratification was made

who is out of town, turned over the
check for $131 to Mr.. Carloss.
The city and county have now sold
their franchises to the capitalists
whom Mr.. Cooper represents and so
far as they are concerned the mat
ter is disposed of. 1t now remains
with the buyers Of the franchises as
to whether or not the city of Hop
kinsyille will have street railways
and the county viii have inter-urban
lines.
Only a few Of the local business
men have been told who the out-0f-
town capitalists are that have bought
the franchises The council and the
people of the town and county gem
rally, however, believe that these
people mean to put a railway system
and inter-urban lines in the county
as soon as possible.
Another matter Of Importance
that came up at the meeting of the
council was the election of w. r.
Crawley as sanitary contractor and
inspector. Mr.. Crawley was recon-
mended by the sanitary committee
appointed at the last council meeting
by Mayor Yost. He will begin work
on the first of September. He will
be fitted out with a newly equipped
wagon with modern Improvements

POSITION ON BOARD
! Up TO P. WARBURG

WASHINGTON. July 24.-The ques-
ton Of whether Paul n. Warburg Of
New York will be confirmed by the
senate rs member of the federal re-
serve board has been placed squarely
up to Warburg himself by the admin
istration. It is now known to Presi-
dent Wilson that Warburg can be
confirmed providing he agrees to ap-
pear before the senate committee on
banking and currency. This fact has
been communicated to the New York
banker. but he will not be given many
days longer to make a final answer as
to whether he will submit to examina-
ton by the committee.
It was stated at the White House
that no effort will be made to select
successor to Thomas D. Jones as a
nominee for the board until DISPOSE
ton has been made of the Warburg
confirmation. It is probable that the
