Belgians Driven to Anarchy
Under Drastic German Rule

Bruges, Nov. 24.--In some of its
aspects civilization has been set back
several centuries by the war in parts
Of Belgium. Conditions in Bruges and
the surrounding region are so unsatis-
factory that the entire countryside
seems likely to return to a state re-
sembling the period of the religious
wars in the sixteenth century, when the
furnishing population resorted to steal
ing, plundering and smuggling.
Such occurrences are being reported
now along the Dutch frontier. They
have led to sanguinary fights between
Belgian smugglers and German soldiers
and Dutch frontier guards. Lawless
elements Of the population are ralding
farms, killing or wounding the occu-
pants and stealing their possessions.
The Germans are doing whatever they
can TO preserve order. Marauders are
pursued relentlessly.
In cities like Antwerp prices OF the
necessaries Of life have risen greatly.
The German authorities, while refrain
inc from the imposition of direct taxes,
demand large sums from the people
through a complicated system of stamp
taxes These taxes are imposed for IN
traction of any one of the many petty
rules which have been made.
Prices of essential commodities have
rieen at Antwerp since the beginning OF
tbo war as follows: Salt, from 3 CEN
t;roes I3-5 of cent? kilogram ego
nornds) to II confines; sugar, from
qf IN go confines a kilogram; oil, from
e N "a cents a litre 60 of a quartz;
coal from 80 to 40 francs S9) a thou
sand Kilograms.

SAYS EAST INDIANS
WILL IGNORE TURKS
All Loyal to Britain and
Eager TO Fight, Says
Maharajah Idar.

Cairo, Nov 23.-In an interview to-
day Maharajah ldare of Gujarat, who
is passing through Egypt on his way
to Join the General staff at the front,
said that the loyalty Of India to the
empire was both general and fervent,
and that Turkey had no influence over
Indian sentiment.
"The size Of the Indian army which
will take part in the great war;" he
told a correspondent, depends, of
course, on the wishes of the King-Em-
peror, but may say that every Indian,
old and young, would most gladly and
enthusiastically respond to the King
Emperor's call. Our one difficulty is
that only a comparatively small num-
Der OF men may 90 to the battlefield
at present. As it is. many officers and
Indians of high birth are going to the
renks. My two syces, or grooms, are
captains. My personal servant is very
well-to-do. They came with me be-
cause it was impossible for them to
go in any other capacity.
"You know" added the Maharajah,
I'VE Indians believe that those who
die in battle go straight to paradise.
To die in battle is not to die"
Asked whether, now that Turkey has
entered the great world war; there is
any feeling on the part OF Mahometans
on the side OF Turkey, the Maharajah
replied: "Emphatically, no. What is
Turkey now? She is only a football
driven on and coerced by Germany.
She has no claim 10 represent Ma
hometanism. No, indeed! We are all,
without exception, on the side of the
empire 10 which we are SO proud TO
belong Take the case of Raiputana.
That state has an army of 10000 men.
No fewer than between 100000 and
100000 men have offered themselves
and are willing and eager to serve.
Nepal's army consists of 10000 men.
They are all at the Emperor's disposal.
If, indeed, the Emperor requires an
army as large as that of Russia, India
is able to supply it, and will be proud
to do so.
$50 determined are enormous num-
bers of the people of India to fight
for the King Emperor, that if only the
battlefield were nearer, and not sepa-
rated by seas from India, they would

EAST INDIAN SCOUT
OUTWITTED ENEMY
Caught, He Told Germans
He'd Bring Others-Was
Allowed to Go.

London, Nov. 25.-The life of the
Indian troops in the trenches is de-
scribed in a bulletin from the front,
which was issued by the official press
bureau tonight:
Nothing sensational has happened
in the Indian lines" says the bulletin.
There have been trenching, counter
trenching and a good deal of hand-to-
hand fighting, but no Gurkha regiment
has penetrated behind the German
lines and blown up powder maya
zine"
The report says that the Germans
have not attacked the Indian trenches
rs desperately as they have the other
parts of the line and have been re-
PEELED without difficulty. When the
Germans have captured an Indian
trench, it has invariably been recap
tured, usually at night, with the
bayonet.
Despite the cold weather, the health
Of the Indians is better than that OF
the white soldiers who accompanied
them from India. While feeling the
hardships Of the trenches acutely, they
have not complained.
The officers of the Indians are ex-
traordinarily well informed regarding
the war. In describing btl man az
tempts 20 seduce the Indians the report
says that the operator of a Taube aero
plane threw down over the trenches
many leaflets bearing a note by a
German professor that the Sheik-ul-
Islam had proclaimed holy war. All
the leaflets fell into the hands OF white
soldiers, who were puzzled by them:
Two Indians were creeping toward a
German trench Oh a scouting expedi-
tion one night when a searchllght was
thrown upon one of them.
"He was quick witted enough to re-
alize that no ordinary resource would
save his life" says the report. He

vanced, salaaming, to the German
trench. It's occupants ceased TO hre'

Battles in Tenement Homes
HELPING OTHERS TO HELP THEMSELVES

Ability to spend stated income or to plan
wisely is not uniform among poor or destitute
antilles anv more than among those more
tortunate.
Some will plan wisely, buy advantageousy,
cook well.
Others will not.
In the homes of such families effective relief
must include in addition to money education
in buying, cooking and general household mat
ters. so that the income will bring the greatest
and best returns.
Careful inquiry into the health OF each mem
Der Of the family must also be made and II nee
essary, medical and nursing care provided.
The progress of the children in school must
be watched, so that they can be directed into
suitable vocations and associated with individ-
uals and agencies that will aid their moral and
spiritual development.
The purpose Of this work, whether done by
visitors. nurses or detitians, is to build up self
reliance. to create and foster stability in family
life. and to give people, through knowledge, the
power and responsibility to plan and to shape
their own lives.
