The horrors of Antwerp's fall are
told by London Daily Chronicle cor
respondent, who. through the courtesy
Of Belgian officer. was able to ascend
to the roof OF the cathedral and from
that point OF vantage looked down
upon the scene in the city.
All the southern portion of Antwerp
appeared to be desolate ruin. says
the correspondent Whole streets were
ablaze. and flames were rising In the
air to the height OF twenty and thirty
feet In another direction could just
discern through my glasses dimly In
the distance the heavy artillery of
the attacking German forces, ruth
Ing nearer to 1t In the dark. At that
moment should say the enemy's front
line was within four miles of Antwerp.

No Way to Check Fires.
The city by this time was almost de
serted. and no attempt was made to
extinguish the fires that had broken
out all over the southern district In
deed, there were no means of dealing
with them.
The reservoir ten miles outside the
city was cut off and as this was the
city's main source Of supply. indeed

Approves of 1t.

A farmer down in Hardin coun-
ty. whose land was getting pref
ty thin. decided to test the effects
of limestone as a grass producer.
He selected ten acres of his poor
est and treated it with four tons
of ground limestone to the acre.
He has cut two crops of alfalfa
this year from the ten acres and
the field yielded ten tons at each
cutting He will cut third crop
fully as large. At prevailing
prices the value of the three al
falfa crops will be from $50 to
$40 to the acre. As the land
would not have grown alfalfa at
all without the limestone dress
ing, it will be seen that his ven-
ture in fertilizati N was most
profitable. There are many
farms in the state which need
limestone and which will pay
handsome returns when given
the proper treatment. 1t is up
to the farmer to find out what
his soil needs and then to apply
the right remedy. Frankfort

War Loans.

There seems to be a wide diff
ference of opinion regarding war
loans in their relations to neu-
trality. Mr.. Bryan takes the
position that if this country were
to loan to one European nation
it would have to loan to them all
in order to remain neutral. Mr..
Morgan takes issue with Mr..
Bryan, pointing out the fact
that the American loan of $780,
000,00 to Japan was not regard
ed by Russia ss an unfriendly
act. Mr.. Bryan would evidently
carry out to the letter the prin-
ciples of his peace treaties. Mr..
Morgan would make money where
there is opportunity to do so.
Still it is a question whether or
not loaning money is giving aid
and comfort within the scope OF
the prohibition of neutrality
proclamations. Capitalists ad.
vance the money. The nation
does not, though the nation is
responsible for the acts of its
citizens.
