BeIqians Seek Loans

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The Belgian Minister of Finance recently visited England and conferred with the Bel gian financial committee which is devoting all it's attention to relieving for the period of the war well-to-do Belgians who do not wish to accept charity and are either able to give banking security for funds advanced or would be able to do so if affairs were in anything like banking order in Belgium.
 The committee has been trying for some time to obtain from the Belgian government an assurance that if it advanced loans on real estate, secur- ed by forms designated by the Bel gian government, these loans would be held after the war as legally bind ing in Belgium. The government to date has refused to give such assur- ances, on the ground that those as- signing their property might at a later date give power of attorney to other parties, who would dispose of it before expiration of the war. The committee has now made representa- tions asking that all such powers of attorney be declared illegal by the Belgian government.
 The secretary of the committee es- inmates that if the war lasts six months $3O0,OOO will be needed to meet the demands of those possess ing this kind of security who have already approached the committee for relief. The secretary of the con- mittee says that the majority of those applying for this kind of aid reach ed England with funds enough to pro- vide for them for a few weeks, and that he hopes some such arrange ments as indicated can be made with the Belgian government. There are at present more than 200 applica- tions which have been approved.
 Those who have brought with them Belgian bonds and other good secur- ities have already obtained accom- modations from London banks through this committee. and similar

NO HOLY WAR.

Whatever Turkey may do as an ally, German expectation of jahad or holy war that would destroy Brit ish power in Egypt and India would seem destined to disappointment. At the outset, Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of the Mohammedans in In dia, Central Asia and East Africa, has openly condemned the Sultan's course and challenged his authority over Islam. From the frontiers of northern India to Soudan, and all through the dominions in Africa where Arbas come under British rule, the Aga Khan's message will be spread, declaring it to be the duty of Moslems to remain loyal and faith full to their temporal and secular al legiance."
 From the time when the first Aga Khan was driven from Persia, both he and his two successors have ex- ercised restraining influence upon luo MOSl0ulS Ol IuclI pGl1Ouo of unrest.
 Not only in Asia, but in Syria and Morocco and along the eastern coast of Africa, the Aga Khan, as the spir- itual head of the Mohammedans in India, has many followers. He has travelled widely in foreign countries and, unlike the Sultan, is known per sonally to the Moslems under his re- ligious sway. As the chief of mil lions of Mohammedans, he has had both an Oriental and European train ing and has been highly honored by the British government His enlight- ened friendship has been one of the best assets of the British in India in dealing with the difficult problem of native sects and races.
 That so powerful leader of the Moslems outside of the Sultan's polit- ical territory should proclaim that Turkey has lost her position as the trustee of Islam comes near mean ing the end of the Sultan's preten- sions as the one and universal head of the Islamic faith.-New York World.

Wounded In Battle At 13.

PARIS, Nov 28.-Although France possesses no soldiers as young as the 12-year-old Servian recently promot- ed to be a corporal on the battle field, Henri Derombier, only year older, has the distinction of being the youngest wounded in the French military service During the recent bombardment of Arras, where he lives with his parents, Derombier was employed as a messenger by bat tery. In running across ground ex- posed to the German fire he receiv- ed a wound in the thigh. He is now in a Paris hospital, where he is pro- gressing satisfactorily.

DU FONTS ROAD.

It seems a remarkable condition of affairs that a philanthropical citizen should be compelled to wage long and strenuous legal battle in the courts, and also fight vigorous cam. paign to overcome public prejudice outside of the courts, in order to secure the privilege of spending $2,' 000,00O of his own money to ad' vance a public purpose of the first importance. Yet that is precisely the experience had by Gen. T. Coleman du Pont, of Delaware.

Problem Was Acute
The problem Of wheat supply for
the Swiss army became acute during
the Balkan war, when the closing OF
the Dardenelles cut on much OF the
iisuaI inlportatiohs from the East, and
prices scared tremendously htgh.
Emergency shipments from the United
states then relieved the situation,

Hardy Of Geneva who was a surgeon
in the Balkan war says that all the

in maintenance for a year would, he
