$173,O0O for further improvements at Bridgeport, was hurried at the war department so that it could be pre- scented to congress in time to have the project included in the rivers and harbors bill of this session.. The rec ommendation for the improvement is so strong. it is believed, that con- gress will make the appropriation if the project is sufficiently pushed. That Congressman Donovan and either Senators Mclean or Brande- gee will give the necessary impetus, there is little doubt. There is an obstacle in the economy program" which congressional leaders are push ing, that program being directed against enlargem ents of the already large budgets of expenditures.
 According to the present plans the senate committee on commerce will probably be asked to give a hearing for the consideration of the recom- mendations for further improvements at Bridgeport. With the army en- gineers' report to back it, it is hoped the project will get favorable action by the committee.

deeds, that the soul of man is mlghtier
than all the engines of Krupps, that
in the final ordeal there is found in Us
the deathless spark that defies death.
As we think of this scattered and tor
tured people, crushed at home under
the harrow of the invader, wandering
in hosts over the plains OF Holland,
starving nearly a hundred thousand or
them-on the sea shore at Flushing,
we do not know whether the deepest
feeling that surges in US is pity for
their sorrow or pride in their glory.
But this we know-that the sorrow wall

Among the many miscalculations OF
the Kaiser there was none more fatal
than his contempt for this simple, un-
assuming citizen King and his little
people He thought that, willing or
unwilling, he could take them in his
stride. Events have revealed that be-
hind this life of unpretentious indus
try, domestic affection and social en-

BELGIAN TRAGEDY
MADE KING A HERO
A British View of the Citizen.
Ruler" and of His Torn and
Ruined Land.

When the nightmare has passed and
men look back with astonishment at
the DAYS when earth was hell there is
one episode, says a British exchange,
that will stand out conspicuous even
amid the universal horror. 1t is the
ruin of Belgium. There is no parallel
in history to the fate that has befallen
that unhappy country. There Is no
crime in history comparable with that
crime. Peace will come again, punish
ment will be exacted and the oblivion
of time will heal many wounds, but
neither peace nor time nor penalty Will
wipe out the stain of Belgium from
the soul of Germany. That is lndelible;
that can never be forgotten and never
be forgiven. II condemns Germany to
eternal obloquy and places the Kaiser
among the great criminals Of the hu-
man race.
There is, however, only one figure
who has touched the imagination of
the world by the qualities Of humanity
and heroism. The King of the Belglans
has won the hearts of men as few kings
or subjects ever win II, and whatever
the result of the war he will be the
symbol of its human and chivalric as
poets, Just as the Kaiser will be the
symbol of its barbarities and ambi-
tions. II Europe effects its dellverance
from the peril that overshadows US II
will owe the fact primarily 70 the un-
paralleled sacrifice OF Belgium and the
heroic inspiration of Belgium's King
None of those who have reserves about
kingship need have any hesitation in
making their confession, for King AL
bert is a King after our own heart
the civil head of free people.
Not long ago the name of the King
Of the Belgians was a name Of evil I'M
port. Leopold IL, in his vices, ambi-
tons and magnifcence, played the
role Of the Grand Monarque on a tiny
stage. He belonged to the traditions
Of Francois /, Henry VIII and Louis
XIV, and had he been cast for .
bigger part in sovereignty his master
full, aggressive and conscienceless
spirit would have plunged Europe in
trouble. His passion for splendor was
largely at the root of the infamy OF
his rule in the Congo. Men were tor
tured in the rubber forests OF the
Congo that he might ape magnificence
and build great palaces Of empire at
home, and his contempt for the poor
was ab migrant as HiS uohANS.4 -
amy and his private scandals. Az
his death NJ. Vanderveldt pronounced
on him one of the most terrible yer-
dict ever passed upon a king. I'VE
have tried" he said, "to find in this
long reign of forty-four years one act
OF goodness, of mercy, Of charity.
Alasl we can find nothing"
There was never more striking
change in personality than that
achieved when his nephew, Albert, the
son OF the Count of Flanders, came 10
the throne. Like his uncle, King Al
bert is a man of great stature and q
mssterful will, but there the likeness
ends. So far from playing the grand
monarch, he is the best type of the
citizen king that Europe has yet pro-
duced. NJ. Wsxweiler, the economist
of the Solway Institute at Brussels

HUNTING BY NIGHT
IS NOW POSSIBLE
Shooting Searchlight, New
German Contrivance, Is a
Boon to Sportsmen.

Endeavors have been made repeat
edly, but hitherto without any very
satisfactory results, to design
source of artificial light, enabling
shooters 10 indulge In their sport even
by night. Practically every sports
man has on his shooting grounds some
game or vermin which he is unable
10 get hold of by day. as il is too sly
TO leave the woods so long as there
is any danger OF its being shot. At
tempts TO provide a searchlight ar
rangement for hunting purposes have,
therefore, been watched by sportsmen
with unusual interest Apart from
being easy 10 handle and safe In oper-
alton, such an outfit must be Of suf-
tcient luminous intensity TO insure
really sportsmanlike shooting.
A firm Of German constructors, at
ter comprehensive and costly expert
ments, has succeeded In designing a
really convenient shooting searchlight.
This is readily mounted on any rife
aud allows the back and front sights
or the sighting telescope 10 be used
in shooting, as the case may be- The
searchlight projects q bright cone Of
light on the ground, up 10 q distance
of 10 metres, or 23O feet, and enables
one 10 take aim at the game in safety
while IL is blinded by the light.
In using the new searchlight. "a
soon as the approach OF the game is
heard or family seen the rife is eau
tiously pointed In the proper direc-
tion and the searchlight switched on.
Should the game not be the one ex.
pected the source Of light is immedi-
ately switched out again, lest other
game be frightened. In fact, the appa-
ratus will only prove fully useful in
the hands OF skilled sportsmen; when
used at random II may even do mora
harm than good. In the case OF pests.
such as rabbits, il may, however. be
switched on regularly every ten min
utes or so. The apparatus will render
especially valuable service in big game
shooting, in the extreme dark Of tropi-
cal nights, where the dazzling effects
are especially striking, so that aim
may be taken in perfect safety. Again.
the apparatus will prove most valuable
in connection with game protection.
poachers struck by its light being
dazzled and made unable 70 defend
themselves, whereas the ranger shell
tered by the darkness Of night may
handle his rife in safety.
The main advantages Of the appa-
ratus may be summed up as follows:
The battery and lamp are combined
with the optical system in the same
steel tube; the light is switched in
readily without any special manipula-
tions, and the weight Of the outfit Is
so low as not to Inconvenience the
shooter in any wsy.-Scientifc Ameri-
