London, Oct. 11th-Despafches received
to-day state That the French and British troops
have defeated 10000 Germans at Quatrecht,
on the railroad between Client and Termonde.
This indicates that the Allies have advanced
further than the censor has disclosed before,
and shows that the BeIgians from Antwerp
are nearing u junction with the Allies.
As the Belgian army marched towards the
Allies, another army of misery marched
wherever land or water routes took them.
There were fever-stticken sufferers in wheel
barrOws and new born babies and others in
dog drawn carts, while multitudes walked
with nothing except their clothes, some few
with handbags, and still fewer with money.
There is hardly any precedent in history for
the exodus Of hundreds OF thousands upon
shortest notice and without preparation.
BoatlGads and trainloads arrive in England
and Holland, and the latter is submerged
with homeless and foodIess people, beyond it's
capacity to care for them.
In Antwerp an inferno reigns. The Bel
gians have released the |c0nvicts aud the
insane, since it was impossible to contine
them under the bombardment, and they now
roam about the country. The Berchem
quarter suffered the most, there being many
public buildings there, whose fate is how
ever unknown Many fires are burning with
out restraint, but it is believed the Cathedral
has not been damaged, The casualties Of
the Germans are estimated at 40, 000.
The chief end immediate eject upon the
campaign is the release of the besiegers to
re-enforce those quiyering under the Allies
attacks. The Allies are now in the Germans
position OF compulsion to safeguard their
flank and rear against attacks from Antwerp.
Germany, it is feared, would have no more
scruples against violating Hollands neutrality
than that Of Belgium, therefore it is a%nticipa.
ted that Holland will become involved in the
war. While England commands the sea,
Germany will be unable to use Antwerp as
a naval base, even if Hollands right to Oh.
Ject to the Use of the Scheldt by belligerent
ships is ignored. Germany, being in pos
session Of Antwerp, can claim Belgium's
right to use the river upon an equality with
the Dutch, and may build 0estrovers and
submarines and send them against England.
Ii Holland allows this, England would GER
tainly regard it rs a hostile act Holland

WRIT OF ERROR.
supreme Court avn Review Tax Case.
PROM Ruatipg Court.

Richmond. Dec. i2.-Armour & Co.
scored an initial advantage Thursday
IN the fight being made by that cor
,polation to annul the judgment OF
the Hastings Court Of; Richmond by
which a fine Of S25 was imposed for
(, failure, to- pay q license tax. The Su-
pseme Court of Appeals . awarded
the corporation a writ Of error and
snpersedeas.
The fine was imposed under the
provisions of section go, chapter 49,
Richmond City Code. The firm oil
Armour e. Company was charged
with conducting a fresh meat and
provision business after May !, 1914,
v,thout having paid license tax.
Counsel for the corporation, in
the petition to the Supreme Court,
contends: 81 That the court erred
in entering said judgment; and 2,
that the court erred in refusing to
set aside said judgemnt as contrary
to the aw and evidence
these assignments of error bring
up questions involving the validity
of the ordinance under which the
fresh meat and provision tax is i'm
posed, and the legal authority Of the
FINANCE Committee of the City Coun-
ell to create tax on such bust
mess. The two questions being
\ closely related are considered as one
proposition in the petition submit
ted. 1t is contended that the FL
nance Committee is authorized by the
ordinance ito impose a special IL
c;mse tax only when, in it's opinion,
The business cannot be taxed or
reached by the ad valorem system.
Hy assessing the business of Armour
&c. Company, in Richmond, with an ad
IEvasorem tax of $51.10, the Finance
4 ommittee, it is argued, thereby,
/ i ccognized that the business could
E"be reached and taxed" by this sys-
tom. Hence the contest made
against the payment of special
license tax" Of $500.
The case was originally tried i'll
Police Court. Justice Crutchfield i'm.
posed a fine Of $40. Armour and
Company appealed from the decision
Of the police justice, but his judg-
n;ent was sustained bv the Hastings

SEES DANGER IN MESSAGE
Dr.. Quick Thinks Japan Will View
Proposed Navy Increase in Bad

Richmond, Va, Dec, i2-Dr. Sid
new L. Quick, of the commission on
relations with Japan who is connect
cd with the Doshisha University at
Toxic who attended federal coun-
ell of Churches of Christ in Amer
ice in an authorized statement de-
clared that "the views Of President
Wilson in his annual message on
the subject of preparedness will be
received with suspicion and distrust
iby Japan: "President wilson, he
lssaid, ="practically agrees that we need
a. strong navy. japan will think
that we want strong navy for the
purpose of dominating the oceans.
She knows that we will never trans
port troops over the Pacific to at

that Germany hoped for war between
Japan and our country, in which
Japan would be weakened. That

States war in which the latter would
be used as a catspaw for Germany.
Now. while Japan is rejoicing over
the capture of Kiao-Chou, and say

,,rising this cry for greater prepared
ness. The president spoke Of our
pacific intentions, but he talks about
young men being trained in the use
or military weapons and uses such
expressions as we must be prepar-
cd to defend ourselves but it is just
exactly a strong navy that will cause
suspicion of us and our plans, and
this is particularly true of the Far
East. Japan cannot but ask the
question as to what our purpose is
for having been taught as she has
been fer some time past to interpret
all our actions from the standpoint Of
suspicion and distrust. One of the
ominous signs of the times is the
change of Japanese sentiment to-
ward us. Now while Europe is fast
being depleted of her military and
naval strength thus postponing in

DANGERS OF KEROSENE.
Causes More Deaths in the State
Than Railroad Accidents.

Richmond, Dec. 12.-Burns caused
more deaths in Virginia during 1913
! than railroad accidents and drowning
and cost more lives than mining ac-
cidcnts, according to statistics Of the
State Board of Health.
The boards figures show total
of GAG deaths from burns during
the year 1913. While many of these
are declared by the board to be the
result of non-preventable accidents,
kerosene oil is thought to be respon-
sible for many fatal burns. On
this aspect Of the subject the board
has issued special bulletin which
reads in part as follows:
Reports from the registrars Of
births and deaths indicate that the
careless use Of kerosene oil, especi-
ally in kindlmg fires results,in many
narrowing accidents. We not infre-
cuently hear of cases where persons
have risen to light fires in cold rooms
and have attempted to make the fire
burn more rapidly by the application
of kerosene. It often happens
thar this ignitcs and burns back TO
the person who is applying tho oil.
Even where there is not an immed-
| late explosion that destroys life and
property. there are torturing burns.
Carelessness in handling lighted
lamps. or in putting oil in lamps
while they are burning also causes
mary fatalities
THE people of the State cannot
these practices. Oil should never be
applied to burning fire and. if used
at I'll, should be sprinkled on the
wood before the fire is lighted 1t
should never. be used on wood which
is placed in fireplace or stove where
ashes are smouldering, and it is far
better never to use at all. Lamps
should never be filed while they are
Turning or filled while close to other
lights"
