BELGIUM BUSINESSES
 ITS CIVIC GUARDS
MANY WHO HAD FOUGHT VAL. IANTLY ARE DlSARMED AND
 REDUCED TO CITIZENSHIP.

London, Aug. 23.-t:40 a. m-Reu- ter's press correspondent interviewed an eyewitness who reached Ghent after the Germans marched into Brussels:
 "The town" he said, was in agony when the news filtered in that the Germans were about to enter A proclamation, issued by the burgo- master warning the citizens that the entry of the enemy must be reckoned with, opened the eyes of all except those blinded by patriotic ardor.
 All morning the streets were filled with anxious crowds. About midday there were signs that the dreaded disaster had fallen on the gay and beautiful city. Officials appeared in the boulevards chosen for the en- trance of the invaders and ordered cafe walters to clear away tables from pavements to make room for what was coming. Cafe proprietors decided to close altogether.
 "Bystanders watched with tears in their eyes or in a state of angry apathy. Great excitement became manifest around the Louvain gate. People arriving in tram cars had seen the Germans, who demanded passes from them.
 Brussels, until Thursday, had been garrisoned by civic guards, rein forced by attachments of civic guards from other towns. Many 1f them had fought bravely at Tirlemont and Louvain. Now, by order of the burgomaster. the First division was disarmed, deprived of uniforms and dismissed
 "The Second division was sent to Ghent. There was not an armed man in Brussels when the Germans ar- rived. Even boy scouts, who as mes sengers for ambulances, hospitais and the authorities had done yeoman ser vice, had been deprived of uniforms, lest they should provoke the Ger mans"

AEROPLANES LIGHT
 FIELD FOR CANNON
GERMANS FIRST TO USE AIR. CRAFT TO LIGHT OPPOSING
 FIELD AFTER NIGHT.

London, Aug. 23.--3:t0 a. m.-Writ- ing Of the fighting around Louvain and Aerschodt, which the Belgian of- ficials report was the severest of all during the recent German advance, the Daily Mails Ostend correspond- ent says:
 After the Germans had occupied Tirlemont they turned longing eyes on LOuvain, which they attacked cleyerly. Fighting along the line De- tween Tirlemont and Louvain had al- most ceased. The Belgians perhaps had begun to feel that the battle wGs easing up when late at night, be- tween IT and 12 o'clock, the Germans surprised them.
 Suddenly German aeroplanes were heard above the Belgian positions. Five aeroplanes descended to a height of not more than 200 yards and flung amidst the Belgian positions metallic objects described as piaues, which on contact with the ground burst into flames. By the light of these flames the German artillery directed it's fire while German aeroplanes illuminated the ranks of German infantry with searchlights. The Belgians were taken completely by surprise. A regi- ment of iancers suffered severely and something approaching rout fol lowed, the troops retiring in disorder with horses rearing and motor cars trying vainly to turn around and re- treat.
 'Pillaging has started on the bat c. field. Predatory camp followers have made their appearance. Most of the German officers carry large amount of money with them. More than $4,00O in German gold was found on one officer. This proves bait for booty seekers. who rob indiserimi- nately the dead and wounded Bel gians and Germans.'

BLOOD POISON In Worst Form Cured by

 ALKANO
King of the Blood.

"Alkano Remedy Co.,, Kansas City, Mo. Gentlemen: Three years ago 1 contracted contagious blood poison, look treatment from our best doctors, have taken the mercury and potash treatment and others. After all of this 40 deep sores came on my body, arms, legs and face. My mouth and throat were so sore 1 could not eat nor drink. l had not eaten one bite for six days and was nearly dead when the agent for Alkano called to see me 1 took a bottle from him, not expect ing to be benefited, and to my sur. prise, in a few days my mouth and throat were healed, and I could eat and drink. l have now taken Alkano three weeks and the 40 deep sores are all healed up. l have gained 47 pounds in weight; rheumatism all gone; sleep we'll; can eat six times day. l had stomach trouble when contracted this disease. Alkano has cured that as well as other troubles.
 "Alkano is a sure blood renovator. Five dollars is cheap for his great remedy. 1 would advise anyone who has blood troubles to try it. Yours very truly,
 BEEN F. sPRUILL."
 It is now well recognized that the treatments ordinarily given for this disease, based on powerful minerals, are very harmful to the system. They have a tendency to deaden the nerve and muscular tissue, especially the former. The result is apt to show up in later years in the form of paralysis locOmotor ataXia, rheumatism, etc. Even blindness sometimes results. This may not occur for many years, but in all cases where these drugs have been taken, the danger always exists. These afflictions, as well as others long considered as after effects Of the disease, are now admitted to re- suit not from the disease itself, but from these drugs.
 Then why take these drugs when Alkano Is even more certain Of curing the disease than they, and never has any evil after effects. but always leaves the system thorouGhly cleansed and restored.
 Alkano cures all forms of diseases and disorders of the blood.

pelqian Army Safe.

London, Aug. 22.-11:50 D. m.--A
 Reuter- correspondent sends the fol- lowing dispatch from Ghent, dated August 20;
 The Belgian army which, up to three days ago held the line, roughly speaking, from Aerschodt to Tirle- mont and Wavre, has fallen back on the line between Antwerp and Mai lines. 1t is not likely the Germans will trouble themselves about Ant werp, which could resist indefinitely.
 Peasants and townfolks from the Louryain country are fleeing into Brussels with their children and val uubles The refugees presented I pitiful sight as they trailed out of the railway station carrying their posses sions. their children Juggling smaller parcels, while perhaps some sick or crippled member of the family limped behind.
 The news the Germans were at the gates took Brussels people by sur prise. There had been a great exodus of well.to-do residents the two pre- vious days, but that only proved that there was scare not that it was wei founded. The censorship allowed nothing positive to be published until the morning of the arrival of the Ger mans.
 "Wednesday night long official communication was published, which to those who knew how to read such things clearly, intimated that ths abandonment of Brussels was immi' nent but it came too late to enlighten the majority. Even the burgomaster's prociamaton this morning merely says that the occupation of Brussels is to be feared.
 Up to Wednesday, the people were allowed to hear nothing but Belgian successes and it may be doubted whether this was not overdone. The authorities may have been desirous of avoiding a wild stampede from Brus- scls but that seems to he no reason for the effort to make the people be- Iieve the enemy only was to show himself to he beaten.
 We in Brussels were in the dark as to the German intentions when "e learned of the attack on TirIemont. Then it became clear they meant to come to Brussels who had no inten- ton of fearing German occupation of the town.
 Meanwhile the Germans are in Brus- sels. and Brussels will have to pay not only a war contribution but for the broken windows of German traders, for incidents during the raid and for all the disconcerting things that have happened to the Germans since they entered the country

JAPAN IS READY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Tokio as to whether Japan would not be relieved from the execution of this pledge if through Germany's refusal to meet the terms of the ultimatum Japan is put to the expense and trou- ble of taking Kiao Chow by force. lntimations received by officials here, however, are that many Japanese statesmen believe the time has come when efforts must be made to regain the confidence of the Chinese people in Japan's intentions. Also it is deemed necessary for the successful development of the larger political plans of Japan in the Far East that she should retain the good will of the United States.
 It has been shown that, contrary to common belief, Japan trade with the United States is more than double m volume the entire Chino American commerce. Japan sent into the United States markets goods valued at S912 G33000 and received American goods to the value of $5771l ,000, while in the same time Chinese exports to the United States were s3767S.0OO and American exports to China were $57,- 741 ,000.
 In view of these considerations it is generally believed nere that the Japanese government will follow out it's announcement to the iette" and restore Kiao Chow to China as early as possible.

M1soHIEvoUs JACK.
CBv vireinia va.la

(By Virginia Vale)
 Once upon a time Jacks father told him he would take him down town to hts office and he could stay all day Jack had often wished he could go with his father and had asked a, great many times.
 Jack felt quite grown up and was glad his father didn't ask to take hold of his hand, even when they crossed the street or went up in the elevator to the top of the high building
 Every one shook hands with him and his father gave him an armchair at desk and a nice long sharp pencil and plenty of paper. Jack looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that his father was reading out of a big book and making words on paper, so Jack tried to do the same on his paper.
 A man came into the room just then and his father went out with him. Jack wanted to see if what his father had written on his paper look ed anything like his, so he climbed out of his chair and went to the other desk.
 It didn't look anything like his but then he thought it might be because his father had looked into the book. He climbed into the chair. took up the book, and turned the pages, but there were not any picture and it wasn't very nice and so he dropped 1t and got down again
 Over in one corner was something he had never seen before, but 1t had letters on it just the same as were on his blocks. He touched an A and if made a funny click. Well, that was some fun and he touched other letters and as they all made clicks he kept it up for a long time.
 At last he grew tired of that and looked around for other things to do for it seemed as though his father was gone a long time. On his fathers desk he saw a. book, it was long and not very wide and had some letters but not the same as were on his blocks but he guessed he would write letters in 1t.
 Jack took up a. pen and dipped it in the ink and made a. mark but it didn't look much like the letters, so he tried another page and still an other until nearly all the pages were used up.
 Just then his father came in and when he saw what Jack was writing in he said: You are a nischievous home" You see Jack had been trying to write in his fathers check book and had plotted 1t all over.
 Jack was very sorry and told his father so ana promised he never would nreddIe again with anything that did not belong to him and his father forgave him this times for being rnischievous-
