AS MAN TO man.

AS the newspaper man was waking
home the other afternoon a tall red
headed girl and little brown-haired
girl walked up from side street,
passed in front Of him and entered
grocery store just ahead. They were
talking interestedly to each other and
did not notice the newspaper man at
ALL The older girl said to her little
friend, or she might have been her
sister:
IT would like to be beautiful. but !!
wouldn't give everything In the worlo
for beauty
And the little girl looked up as she
toddled along with twinkling feet
trying to keep up with the stride OF
her elder. "Of course not" she
agreed. with solemn wisdom. DO
you know, they used to call me awful
pretty when l was a baby But I
haven't been called that since then"
The big girl and the little girl at
that moment dived into the grocery
store to get some ham for supper and
the newspaper man did not hear any
more of this deep philosophy on the
subject of beauty, much to his regret.
But the little that he did hear he
pondered over thoughtfully the rest OF
the way home.
The tall girl with the red hair had,
It seemed to the newspaper man. UNI
consciously added another shining
proverb to the book of Solomon. She
wouldn't give everything for mere
beauty, she said. And she spoke with
conviction as though she meant it.
Spoke cheerfully, as one who had not
missed all the light of the world in
the loss of loneliness. She was not i'll
looking, this red headed girl, even
though she could not boast an as
semblage of projections. And she did
seem to have, if one could judge by
her words, something more than
i, beauty. She had good sense to carry
like a lamp in her hand to light her
down the vale of tears, and she had
philosophy to wrap about her like
silk mantle to protect her from the
winds and the fires and the waters OF
the world.
The girl was delightfully."- positive
that she wouldn't trade everything for
beauty And she had something
worth while to trade. Good sense.

paper man that she had the goods.
Beauty and vanity walk hand in hand
and after vanity comes unhapp1ness
A duke always comes along to make
love to beauty and after the duke
finds the flaws under the varnish he
gets sore and winds up in police court
for beating his wife, Then along
comes a simple citizen and gets a girl
with a few good looks and a lot OF
sense to help him find a preacher and
the farther they travel together the
| more beauty ne finds in common
sense. And he would fight the man
the most beautiful woman In the
world. And they live happy ever
after.
It's all. in the law of balances. The

That girl who wouldn't trade her

up the street will smile at her looking
glass and frown at most people most
of the time.
And the little girl. the one who
laughed when she said no one had
called her pretty since she was a
baby. The newspaper man thought
she was awfully pretty. She has more
philosophy than old Socrates. She
thought it was joke on the other
people. And it was Tragedy walks
more often with beauty than any
other companion. But good luck
generally sticks pretty close to the
girl who laughs because people don't
call her pretty.
The newspaper man has fiddled
along with this story until it sounds
like sermon. and he has no license
to preach. He has been sore for
years because he is the exact opposite
from handsome, but by carefully pick
ing an example here and there of
the good looking gent who had lots
of bad luck he manages to keep
happy. And the jaunty way those
two girls, the big girl and the little
girl, left beauty and trouble behind
them and waltzed into that grocery

Great Britain Issues a Formal DecIars
tion,

Great Britain Issues a Formal DeeIara-
tion.
London.-The war of the nations Of
Europe became further regularized
with the formal declaration of war on
Austria-Hungary by Great Britain.
As soon as the declaration Of war by
England on Hungary became
publicly known a large number of Aus
trians and Hungarians resident in Lon
don who were liable to be called upon
for military service applied to Robert
P. Skinner, the American Consul Gen
eral, for enrolment.
The clerks Of the consulate-general
at once began stamping the military
books of the men, and this will be re-
garded by the Austrian authorities as
evidence that the holders were ready
to perform their duty.
In accordance with previous instruc-
tions received from Secretary of State
Bryan, Consul General Skinner has
notified the American consuls through
out the British Isles to take oyer the
Austrian consulates.
Ambassador Walter Hines Page was
ready to assume charge of the Austro-
Hungarian Embassy here and was re-
Quested to do so.
The number of Austrians and Hun
garians in the British Isles is not
known, but it is expected they will add
considerably to the problem of the re-
lief committees.

Brussels, Belgium, via London
The fighting Thursday between the
Belgian and German armies in the
vicinity Of Diest lasted the entire day
and constituted the first considerable
battle Of the war. It viii be known as
the battle Of Haelen.
The battle centred around Haelen, in
the Belgian Province Of Limburg, ex-
tending to Diest, in the north Of the
Province Of Brabant, after passing
round Zeelhem.
At Z o'clock all the country between
the three towns mentioned had been
cleared Of German troops, except the
dead and wounded, who we're thickly
strewn about the fire zone.
200 Dead In so Yards Square.
Upward of 200 dead German soldiers
were counted in space Of so yards
square.
A church, = brewery and some
houses in Haelen were set af1re and
two bridges over the Demer were de-
Btroyed by Belgian engineers.
Great quantities Of booty were col
Iected on the battlefield, and this has
been stacked in front of the Town Hall
of Diest. Many horses also were cap
tured.
The strength Of the German column
was about 5000 men.
When a patrol Of carbineers first
signaled the approach Of the German
troops at Haelen the Belgians manned
the trenches and a hot fire greeted the
German soldiers.
The German guns were then brought
to bear and swept the trenches with
such a deadly hail that the Belgians
were obliged to fall back on the town
Of Haelen.
Reinforcements were quickly brought
up, however, and the Germans, in spite
Of the numerical superiority, were re-
pulsed, suffering severely.
says Germans Lost Three-FIfths.
An official communique says the
German casualties were very heavy,
three-ffths of their troops engaged i'll
the encounter being killed or wound
ed, while the Belgian casualties are
reported as relatively small.
Another official communication
says:
"The Belgian cavalry division took
up the offensive against the Germans
who were defeated at Haelen, with
the object, it is believed, Of picking up
the dead and wounded and collecting
the abandoned material Of war.
mo German surprise was expected,
and there are no reasons to fear any
German cavalry movement on Brus-
sells from the south, all roads leading
to the capital being guarded by the
Belgian army and the Civic Guard"
