WHERE THE WEST BEGINS.

(By Arthur Chapman, Denver.)
Out where the handclasp's little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells little longer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where the sun is little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are trifie whittier,
Where the bonds of home are wee bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are trifle bluer,
Out where the friendships little truer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter In every streamlet flow
ing,
Where there's more Of reaping and less of SOW
ing
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are aching
That's where the West begins;
Where there's more Of singing and less OF sigh
ing,
Where there's more Of giving and less Of buying,
And a man makes friends without half trying,
That's where the West begins.

LONDON. Oct l3.-The hcadquart CTS of the Belgian government were transferred today to Hayre. With the exception of King Albert, who remains at the head of the army, the minister of war, and the mcm- hers of the cabinet with other gov ernment officials. and the diplomatic corps, left Ostend by steamer for the French port where they will carry on the affairs of state, where hospl- tality is offered them by the French government The American and Spanish minister's both of whom are still at Brussels, are the only diplo- matic representatives accredited to Belgium remaining in that country.
 In accordance with the new plan, the German invaders have begun to sweep across northern Belgium. Yes terday they occupied Ghent without opposition and are now said to be well advanced toward Bruges on the way to Ostend. They probably will meet strong opposition before they reach Bruges as the Belgian army is being reinforced.
 
 gian capital since the Germans sil- enced the forts at Liege. The gov ernment was first moved to Antwerp from Brussels, thence to Ostend and today across the line to HaVre. This final change followed quickly upon the Germans westward advance which was begun immediately after the fall of Antwerp. The success in taking the chief port of Belgium opened the way for the new plan of campaign which embraces the occu- patton of the whole of Belgium, in cluding the coast towns and if pos sible some northern French ports All dispatches from the region of Bruges are strictly censored, so nothing was learned of the operations since the fall of Ghent into the hands of the Germans.
 People are fleeing before the in vaders and steamers from Ostend are crowded with refugees. The Germans are making a simultaneous western advance in southern Belgium, while across the border in France a whole army corps has occupied Lille ano cavalry has been seen as far west as Hazelbrouck, which is on the railway leading from both Calais and Dun kirk. French forces which had beer sent to cut off, if possible, this at tempt to reach the coast, accordlns to a French official communication this afternoon, have taken the of fensive against the Germans. Thi' movement, besides being a dlstinc menace to the allies left wing, l successful, would arouse great en thusiasm in Germany as an indication of the promised attack on Englan' by airship, otherwise about to b carried out.
