CONDITIONS WHICH NOW
PREVAIL AT YPRES
{ By Associated Press.) J

IL
last tenacious inhabitants of Ypres
were dragged from their under
ground refugees and taken by force
to places of safety fortnight ago:
the cellars themselves had ceased to
afford protection from the contin-
ual pounding of the German shells.
The town today looks like an un-
earthed imitation of Pompeii; not
one of its 10000 houses is intact and
not dozen OF those that remain
partly erect are repairable. The an
cient pride of Flanders, if it ever
rises from its ruins, must be entirely
rebuilt from the foundations. OF the
famous hall, which three weeks ago
still showed semblence of resistan ce,
there remains nothing but single
little tower standing out against the
sky like a gigantic finger raised in
protest The only part of the walls
remaining is a battered preached
remnant on the side of the Grand
Place" Only here and there is it
possible by closeinspection to dis
cover any traces of the details of its
former architectural beauty
There were 10000 people here
three weeks ago and it was still pos
sible to enjoy cup of tea at the
cafe on the Grand Place while
contemplating the agonizing Hal
les" today the only living creatures
that remain are two cats sticking
to the debris of their homes in the
Rue de hourOut No one knows
what they live on and the British
soldiers have been unable to cap
ture them
The dead silence that has fallen
here is broken only by the occasion
al shell that stirs up the ruins, by
the German guns firing over the
town at Poperinghe, and by the
musketry and machine gun fire
from the trenches close by to the
south. The silence is oppressive to-
ward dusk when the artillery fire
becomes desultory.
Protected by the ruins, one may
approach so close to the first line as
to get vivid auricular impression
of what is going on in the trenches.
The "pang, pang pang." of the
rifles with intervals of the "Pang-a-
pang -pang-a -pang" of the machine
guns become more intermittent as
night falls, and then comes from
the trenches the surprising contrast
of the refrain: IT'S a long way to
Tipperary," with the accOmpani-
ment of piano that the Tommies
dug out of the ruins and requisition-
ed for evening diversion.
The final destruction of Ypres
followed the attack with asphyxiat-
inc gas. II is the common belief in
Belgium that the wiping out of the
town was a premeditated revenge for
the failure of the effort to occupy it.
Shells intended for the British lines
or for the batteries in the rear
might easily stray into the town.
but. they say, the aim of the Ger
mans is good enough not to waste in
that way the thousands of tons of
ammunition required to reduce the
place to a stone heap, and the only
military Importance of the town is
its proximity to the battle front
Counting the shots that went wide
of any structure. it is estimated that
more than a hundred thousand of
different calibres were spent on
Ypres. Thousands more were used
during the gas attack along the
route from Ypres to Furnes by

Paris Dispatch to New York Post.
It has been the fashion, In other coun-
tries, to talk of France as financially and
economically exhausted. Yet, without
saying much about 1t, she Is presenting
some considerable evidences of reserve
strength. AS to gold, for instance, It is
notorious that France Is far from being
at the end Of her rope. Besides the gold
cover of her circulation (still amounting
TO more than one-third of the face value
or her banknotes, and actually In the
vaults of the Bank Of France), the inflow
to the Bank of France from the people
private reserves has averaged $4,000, 600 a
month since July, and It Is continuing I'M
diminished.
Even If continued at that weekly rate
up to the end of the year, this would
amount to only one-third OF the gold sup
posed to held In private hands in France
and apparently ready for the government
In case OF proved need. Again, with ali
the loss from seven manufacturing de-
partments occupied by the enemy, French
INDUSTRY Is still turning out 20 per cent
or Its normal production. The agriculture
of the territory not held by the enemy is
alone nearly equal to the task fulfilled by
French agriculture for many years Of
peace-to satisfy native consumption
And have not mentioned one part OF
the revenue of France during the last
years or peace-a revenue which certainly
can not be greatly diminished as soon as
peace Is declared again. This is the rev
enue from foreign travellers and from
purchases they make-estimated at 5000

Beauty Hints to Girls.

In the Woman's Home CompanIon
Alice Farnham Leader, a New York
physician, tells how girls can keep their
good looks. She says that health de-
pends upon food, sleep and fresh air,
and not upon pills and prescriptions.
Her article Is full Of practical sugges-
lions as to diet, sleep and exercise.
Following Is a brief extract from what
she has to say about food:
"Rich pastry, frozen creams and
candy are difficult to digest and, in ad-
diuon to menacing the health, they
cause positive LONELINESS. They con-
tain more sugar and fat than the sys-
tenn can possibly assimilatA, and the
surplus is carried to the skin, where 1t
pimples and blackheads. To avoid such
foods doesn't mean giving up all des-
serts. Let your choice rest between
light custardS, fruits and ices.
Coffee and tea are not always in
furious, provided they are taken in
moderation. Never drink more than
one cup of coffee for breakfast, and add
cream and sugar with a grudging hand.
Drink plenty OF water, hot and cold.
Nothing will promote digestion and
prevent sickness as will q glass of hot
water slowly slipped Immediately upon
arising In the morning. The human
body requires at least a quart of water
a day, that Is, about a half pint every
two or three hours.
If the average woman gave as much
attention to that much abused organ
the liver. as she does to her finger
nails, her face would need less atten-
ton. No wonder the liver rebels and
reacts upon the complexion, its spite
being betrayed in the form Of pimples,
sallowness and black shadows under
the eyes"

From an Interview with General Joffre
by Owen johnson In Golfers Weekly.
/ Where a nation Is truly republican DO

'f democracy In military preparation;
| Tor war, but the need OF self discipline
| In republic where the spirit of individ-
ual liberty Is always strong, military sery-
Ice gives the citizens a quality or SELF
discipline which he perhaps needs to re-
spect the rights Of others as well as to
be able to act In organized bodies.
II you have the dread Of military serv-
Ice In America, 1t may be because you
are looking at the German ideal rather
than at the French. The art or war 10
practically the same everywhere; the same
general principles are taught everywhere
The distinction between the French army
and the German is a difference In the
conception of the role of the soldier. The
soldier a machine. They do not wish him
to think for himself. BY their discipline
OF fear they rob him of initiative and
make his movements absolutely mechani-
cal, entirely subject to the will OF his OFF,
Ger. That is why they must attack In
close formation. To carry out this theory,
the officer class has been made into a
Brahmin caste. To perpetuate this kind
of feudal supremacy, the officer does not
converse directly with the privates, but
transmits his orders through the agency
Of an intermediary class-sergeants and
corpoTals.
You have been to the front. in the
trenches and In the camps. You must
have seen how different II Is with us. Our
discipline Is not the discipline of fear We
do everything that we can to impress the
necessity OF this spirit of fraternity. Our
soldiers are treated as Intelligent human
beings, capable OF thinking for them
selves in great crises
Every day men come from the ranks
into leadership. The private soldier is
an inexhaustible store from which at
necessity we can replenish our staff OF
officers. They In turn, are taught that
that their private soldiers need or desire
must be indifferent to them; they watch
over their comforts and necessities share
their food with them and endure the same
family.
When we make a charge, the officer
leads his men always-no one has to tell
him that-and he does not need to look
around to see II he is followed.

best plan.

On account of the cloudy weather last
week berries matured slowly, but
reached good size. The delay was not
serious, and on account of allowing the
competitive districts to clean up their
crop it may be of benefit to the local
growers.
