LONDON, oct. Q.
Thousands of Belgian refugees reached
London today principally from Antwerp
while it is expected that many of the
bO.Oo0 said to have gone to Rotterdam
will come here soon.
Lord Gladstone, who is head of the
Belgian Refugee Committee said: Those
who arrived here today from Antwerp re-
pert a very serious state Of affairs there.
They got out before the bombardment
began.
Gladstone declared his committee al
ready had placed 1900 BeIgians since
the outbreak of war besides assisting
thousands of others.
Early this morning" the Amsterdam
correspondent of the Chronicle says: The
first long stream Of refugees arrived at
Putte, on the Belgian-Dutch frontier.
They came from the villages inside the
inner fort line, and they We're allowed
to travel only In a northerly direction.
BY noon the roads presented a pitable
sight. Thousands We're trudGIng. with
their household belongings in carts
drawn by horses and dogs. To mention
Germans to them is to make them shiver
with nervousness"
The correspondent OF the Times at
Rotterdam confirms the report that there
are 100000 fugItIves from Antwerp IN
Holland.
The Hague correspondent Of the Ex-
press says that South Holland Is swamp

scribes terrible scenes Of dasplutiOn and

"A man wearing the uniform of a

a Belgian correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph. He ordered the male
residents of the city to take many wagon

Thinking he was Belgian officer they

seen directing a German attack from the
opposite side of the river that the citizens
realized he was a German masquerader.

CLOTHES AND EATING

Dr. A. L. Taylor, professor of chem
iStry in the medical school at the
University of Philadelphia, is credit
ed with a new theory of one rac,m
In the increasing cost of living THIS
Is nothing less than that the femi-
nine fashions of today, requiring
women to wear fewer and thinner
clothes, compels them to eat more
In order to maintain normal tenn
perature. DR.. Taylor estimates the
increased number of heat units re-
quired at 10 per cent.
If there is anything in this theory,
or course a 10 per cent increase in
the appetite of the women of the
country must have created cores
ponding drain on our food products,
with the result of a proportionate in
crease in price. What the ordinary
citizen will want to know, however,
is whether the theory is reversible.
II We can induce the women to wear
more clothing, will they eat 10 per
cent less, increase our supply to that
extent and correspondingly reduce
the cost of living?
Then there is the problem whether
1t would be cheaper to nav grocery
and meat bills than clothing bills?
But that has been answered by the
fact that Notwithstanding the reduc-
tion in feminine clothing there has,
SO far as noticed, been no proportion

therefore be presumed that if women
