Business at a standstill.

Business is at a standstill, although
people are urged to work as usual.
There is no incentive to business. as
the Germans make their own price
whenever they purchase things. The
Germans smile grimly when speaking

concrete and which will demolish the

tnat the detonation there will break

under penalty of being shot Our
houses are raided by the German police
every other day to see If We have
pigeons or firearms. They even con-
hscate our trophy of old weapons, and
stand OF obsolete ramrod guns. which

staircase.
English nurses and doctors are look
ed upon with suspicion, and are being
suspended from work and many of
them drafted away to Germany, where
they hear a sorry time awaits them,
The poor peasant refugees who con-
tinue to roam in from adjacent hamlets

that they can only lift up their empty
hands to US in a gesture of mute sup-
plication, while teams stream from

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, October "A letter dated
September 27 from a lady living in
Brussels gives a description of life
in the former Belgian capital under
German militarism and is as follows:
Since last writing you one would
imagine that we had grown accustom-
ed to the new order of things and had
more or less settled down to the in
evitable. On the contrary. with every
day that passes everybody becomes
more and more eager to escape from
events passing just outside our Rem.

outskirts OF the city, and We fear that
battle will be fought here. We have

an American friend. who will take you

The Germans publish pamphlets
speaking of victory after victory, but
we are skeptical, and all believe that
the tide is turning. l have our boxes
packed and handbags ready in case we
should haYe chance of getting away,

and the horrors of it all in our midst
makes the little courage 1 have left

Soldiers Mystify Poor Peasants.

"She says that soldiers in petticoats'

most of them had bleeding calves. and
as the Germans fire from the hips, this
is no doubt true. 1t Is mercy to think
that when Englishmen FIRE they aim at
heads, and that few miss.

He was seized by soldiers and hustled

Near Lervueren there is a hugh camp
of soldiers, and 10000 to $4,000 troops
are here In various quarters. Yet
rumors are being spread that they will
shortly evacuate-and what a relief
that would be-with all this dread of
battle hanging over us. Bands play at
intervals near the Bellevue Hotel and
the Care du Nord, and proclamations
are read out from motor cars to the
soldiers. who gesticulate frantically
and shout themselves hoarse. Outside
our house we found a paper pasted
with William Kaiser des Weltalls' on

An Irishman who worships at the
shrine OF Mahomet, prophet of Allah,
and who prays with his face turned
toward holy Mecca-such is Baron
Charley Mark AlIanson Winn Headley.
The venerable Irish lord is a recent
convert to the faith Of Islam, the an
nouncement that he had embraced Mo-
hammedanism having been made at a
meeting last month of the Islamic So
ciety of Great Britain. Many Eng
lishmen have become disciples of Ma
homet within the last few years, but
Hibernian Moslems are almost as rare
as the proyerbial hens teeth.
Lord Headiey comes of distin-
guished ancestry, the baronetcy dat
ing from 1860 and the baronial title
from 1897. He is the fourth baron,
and succeeded his father in the title
and estates in 1877. He married a
daughter of an Anglican clergyman
Baron Headley has been a represen.
tative peer for Ireland for 80 years.
and has also had distinguished mill
tary career. AS an attache he went
through the Franco-German and Carl
list wars He has a handsome town
house in London and owns about 1875,
| 900 acres in Ireland, including Agha
doe house in Killarney and Illaunagiu
| mini in County Galway.

Wild and Tame.

An American professor recently
made q list of IT common weeds"
which in his judgment ought to be
cultivated for food. This was a mere
off-hand jotting down of facts which
occurred to him, not study Of the
subject, but it shows that man has
not made very extensive use of the
opportunities which nature affords
him.
The learned professor might have
included the animal world as we'll.
Why was not the American bison or
buffalo domesticated by Indians
Why, when he has proved his value in
many parts of the west, is he not
bred in larger numbers now? Why
was the African elephant left wild
while the Indian brother was trained
to harness and war?
Why is the pheasant still half wild
and the grouse wholly so, when they
have at least as many possibilities of
usefulness as the ancestors Of dOmes-
tic fowls? The quagga of South At
RIGA is larger as we'll as handsomer
than the wild ass of western Asia
Why was one taken for service and
the other left?

WHY AUTHORS AND ARTISTS
FAIL TO MAKE GOOD LOVERS.
Seem Unable to Detach Themselves
From the Creatures of Their Fancy
Long Enough to Appreciate
the Real Thing.

One might suppose that the writer's
authors and poets-who have i'm
mortalized women's charms from the
beginning of time would provide the
ideal lover, but in actual fact it is
often their interest in women in the
abstract which spoils them for the one
woman. To her they may appear
more engaged in the expression of
life than in life itself, and she feels
in their company that she runs the
risk "a very genuine one) that the
tenderest emotions will be used as
copy"
Even to be the heroine of a book
has disadvantages nowadays, since
heroines are generally faulty crea.
lures and the author is so engrossed
by the study of human nature that his
love herself may fancy she is under
the dissecting knife.
Then the writer of imagination, hv.
ing with the creatures of his fancy
is necessarily somewhat detached
from the outside world. Il feel terri
bly, jealous of my husbands heroines, y
said the wife of well-known author
Il am sure he is as fond of them as
he is of me-" Often the creator OF a
world of his own is rather ineffective
In the actual world.
He seems in such hurry to get
away from the latter and resembles
the woman who has cooked the feast
and, in consequence, has no appetite
for it. Life with him is apt to be
tame, because his dreams have de
stroyed his interest in realities, ant
there seems almost a lack of SINGER
ity about his human relations.
The artist, with his eye trained tt
notice and analyze external loveliness
of form and feature, has similar faults
and some special ones of his own
For instance, though a woman likes {
man who notices her dress, she pre-
fers him to be appreciative rather
than critical. She is apt to be an
noyed by a meticulous attention tt
trivialities in the house and in he
own appearance, which she imagine
part of her province, and unless she
has the artists point of view, with it
hatred of conformity, she is more
bothered than fiattered.
A girl engaged to an artist said
with a sigh: Before he kisses me
Fred looks to see if my draperie
hang in classic folds. He can't bea
an object when | try to please him
To be beautiful in a picture is no
nearly so gratifying to the pride a

WHAT THE SCHOOL CHILD SHOULD EAT

The boy is father to the man, so
runs the old adage, and Uncle Sam,
who believes in raising good crops
and good cattle, is paying lot of at
tention to the youngsters who have
just started to school-the citizens of
the next generation.
And the first thing he has looked
into is the school lunch bOx-he
wants to know what the little citizens
are eating while they are studying
and incidentally playing tag and foot
ball The midday lunch of the boy
and girl who has to grow and work
at the same time is most important,
so Uncle Sam has turned a whole
section of the National Bureau of
Education on the job and here's what
one of his domestic science teachers
has to say about school lunches:
