BRUSSELS IS

RESOURCEFUL GERMANS ARE MAKING BENZINE FROM

(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, Jan. S.-An attache of the Belgian Foreign Office, who escaped from the capital recently, says life there is not as disagreeable as in other Belgian cities, largely on ac- count of the influential presence of the American minister. "The price of food has not greatly increased, and the people who have money to buy it are not suffering" he said. "But the bread which is strictly rationed (3OO grams a day for each inhabitant) is black, stodgy and indigestible. Peo- pie with weak stomachs, like myself cannot eat it. This bread question is serious. The lower classes are ac- customed to eating large quantities of bread; soaked in milk or broth it forms the main article of the child rens' diet. The regulation black bread is so doughy that it cannot be soaked, and l know that a great many young children are dying from intest- inal diseases brought on by improper feeding.
 "The lack of fuel is another hard ship. Nearly all the coal that comes by canal from Charleroi is taken by the Germans, who manufacture ben zine for their automobiles from it in

NOME, Dec. 19.-Without doubt, the worst windstorm that has ever hit the Seward peninsula has been rag ing for the past two months, the average velocity of the wind during that time being 30 miles per hour. The terrific wind, coupled with severe snowstorms, has caused great hard ship all over the peninsula, and especi- ally at the larger towns along the coast.
 At Nome, the river and the sea are higher than during the great storm of a year ago last October when a great deal of damage was done. At the present time, the bridges across the river are covered with water and many cabins along the water front are inundated. Owing to the high wall of ice along the shore, the dam age to property has not been so great this year as in 1913.

 Loyal in their stubborn adherence to feud obedience, the judge and grand jury secretly returned two indictments bearing the names of Luke ThiXton as principal and Milton McBriar. ST, as accessory to the crime of murder against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth of Kentucky, and con- trary to the statute in such case made their action from public announce ment
 Surreptitiolsly and guardedly a message travelled up the watercourses to the remotest Havey cabin. Bad Anse bade his men be ready to rise in instant response to his call, and they made ready to obey.
 One day Juanita Holland and Dawn set cut for Lexington to do their Christmas shopping.
 Anse Havey rode with them across to Peril and waved his hat in farewell as they stood in the vestibule of the riCkety passenger coach. It was a very shabby car of worn and faded plush. but to Dawn it seemed a fairy chariot.
 As they entered the lobby of the D I youth rose from a chair and came for ward. If the boy was cruder and dark CT and less trim in appearance than his Blue.Grass brethren, he carried his head as high and walked as independ- ently. He came forward with his hat in his hand and said I'm mighty glad ter see ye, Dawn"
 The girl looked about the place. and breathed rather than asked; Isn't the world wonderful. Nlilt?"
 Two days followed through which Dawn passed in transports of delight There were the undreamed sights of shop-windows decked for the holiday season. and the crowds on the streets, and the gaycty and merriment of Christmas everywhere. She had never heard so much laughter before, and she found it infectious. and laughed. too
 At last she found herself again in faded plush car beside Juanita, with Young Milt sitting opposite. Old Milt was on that train, too. but he paused tn hnfnrA icu tnt tC the shabbier smoking compartment, where he had business to discuss. A man was waiting fot him in there whom old acquaintances might have passed by without recognition. It was the hope of Milt McBriar that when they left the train at Peril. any ac- quaintances who might be about would do just this.
 While the Christmas shoppers laughed in the day coach. Luke Thix- ton received final instructions in the empty smoker.
 obtrusively as possible through Peril and go direct across the ridge
 He and Milt would leave the train without conversation or anything to mark them as companions. After that Luke knew what he was to do. and no further conference would be necessary.
 It was noon when the train rumbled again over the trestle near the town, and all morning steady. feathery snow had been falling. yelling the sights from the windows and wrapping the mountains in a cloak of swans down.

 Don't risk your life" she pleaded Your people cant spare you; l cant spare you. Not now. Anse: l need you too much"
 The mans voice came in a hoarse whisper.
 "Ye needs mel"
 Yes, yes" she swept on. and for an instant he was on the verge of with drawing his hands and crushing her to him. but something in his face had warned her. She dropped the hands she had been holding and said in an altered tone: Its not just me; it's bigger than that. It's my work. We've come to be such good friends that l couldn't go on without you. My work would fail"
 For a while he was silent. then he said very slowly and very bitterly:

Then I'll talk outspoken Ter try ter convict these men in cote means to take desperate chance. Ye can't hardly succeed, an if ye fails we've lost yore hold on the Haveys-ye're plumb, eternally done for"
 "I don't aim to fail"
 No; but ye mought. Anse, no man hain't never questioned yore loyalty till now. I thought as we'll tell ye straight what talkin's goin' round"
 Anse stiffened What is it?" he demanded.
 Some folks low that ther Haveys don't mean as much ter ye now as ther turin schoolteacher does. Them folks'll be pretty apt ter think ye ain't tryin' ter please them so much as her if yer attempts this"
 Anse stood for long minute silent. and his bronzed features grew taut At last he inquired coolly:
 What do you think Breck?"
 "Pd trust ye till hell froze."
 "All right. Then do as tells ye, an if fails l reckons you'll be head of the Haveys in my place."
 Down at the school there was going to be a Christmas tree that year. Never before had the children of the "branch-water folks" heard of a Christ mas tree. The season of Christ's birth had always been celebrated with moon shine jug and revolver It was dread ed in advance and mourned over in retrospect.
 Now in many childish hearts large dreams were brewing. Eager antici- ored young fir tree which was to bear fruitage of gifts and lights had been singled out and marked to the ax. Anse Havey and Juanita had explored the woods together, bent on its selection Perhaps Juanita and Dawn were as much excited as the children, but to Dawn it meant more than to anyone else. She was to accompany Juanita to Lexington to buy gifts and decora- tions and would have her first won drous glimpse of the lights and crowds of city.
 Milt was there at college and would be returning about the same time, so the mountain girl secretly wrote him of her coming And even facing so grave crisis. Anse Havey thought of that tree and hoped that Luke would not come back before Christmas.
 That night. while he was sitting with Juanita and the fire was flashing on her cheeks, he said moodily: I'm afraid yell have to start despisin' me all over again"
 She looked up in astonishment.
 Why" she asked
 I've got to kill a man"
 She rose from her chair. her face pallid
 Kill man?" she echoed.
 God knows I hate to do it. He rose, too, and stood before the hearth. But l reckon it had better be me than Jeb."

 She came nearer and stood confront ing him so close that he felt her breath on his face. She broke out in a low, tense voice: Suppose he kills you?"
 Hell have his chance" said Anse Havey shortly "I ain't 'lowin' to shoot him down from ambush.
