AFOOT IN GERMANY
Belgian Makes Thrilling Escape
After Killing Guards.
TraVerses Whole Rhine Country and
Reaches Switzerland and Italy
Poses as Deaf Mute-Ready
to Fight Again.

London.-Jules Liaudat, twenty.
two-year-old Belgian soldier, has just
arrived at Nice after effecting dar-
ing escape from Germany. His jour
ney across the enemy's country into
Switzerland and Italy is one of the
most striking stories that have come
to hand since the war began.
At the time of the outbreak of hos
tilities Liaudat was doing his military
service in the Fifth Line regiment at
Antwerp. He took part in the fighting
around Aerschot, whence, after a
splendid resistance the Belgians were
obliged to retire toward Malines. Later
the Germans bore down upon the pros
porous little town, famous for its lace
making trade, and it was during their
successful attack on that place that
Liaudat and some fifty Of his COM
rades became separated from the rest
OF the Belgian forces and were obliged
to give themselves up.
Sent the next day to Aix-la- Chapelle
the prisoners were placed in a com.
pound formed of wooden planks with
a guard of five men of the landsturm.
The prisoners noticed that they
were left unguarded by the sentinels
for a few minutes each day while the
guards went to get the soup On De-
cember ! the Belgians lay in wait for
the return of the sentinels at the en-
trance to the compound.
AS one of the Germans came back
with the customary caldron of soup
ne was set upon and strangled. He
was able to utter a cry, however, and
his comrades came running to see
what was wrong. One after the other
they were shot down by one of the
Belgians, who had picked up the re-
Folver Of the strangled soldier.
Then began wild dash for liberty
under the bullets of a company of
Handsturm, brought to the scene by the
sounds of the shots. The Belgians
ran in zigzags to avoid being hit. AL
most all of them made toward the
Dutch frontier. Not so Liaudat, who
did not wish to be interned in Holland
until the end of the war. He had CON
ceived the more desperate plan of
crossing Germany and reaching Italy.
To this boldness he probably owes his
life, as the landsturm men, feeling con-
fident that he would be caught later.
fired only few shots after him,
whereas in the opposite direction al.
most all the runaways were brought
down.
Once well on his way, Liaudat
gained in confidence and succeeded
In walking to Merestret without being
questioned. He went round the out.
skirts of the town and on to Limburg.
where he found some old clothes in
an abandoned house. This allowed
him to discard his Belgian uniform,
now all tattered and torn. Thus dis
guised he continued his journey as a
tramp, without papers of any sort and
with no money. He was Obliged to
pose as deaf mute when he met peo-
pie and beg for food by signs. He

JEWS IN RUSSIA
ARE IN DIRE NEED
MILLION AND A HALF SAID TO BE
IN A STAYING CONDITION
AND ARE ASKING HELP.
Rabbi Declares That Jews Are Face
to Face With Tragedy UnparaI-
ieled In the History of
Jewish Agony.

London.-At meeting here on Sun.
day in behalf of the fund for the relief
OF Jewish victims of the war in Rus
STA, 1t was announced that there were
100000 Jews starving in Russia.
Leopold De Rothschild presided and
Lord Swaytholing, Chief Rabbi Hertz,
Israel zangwill and other prominent
Jews were present.
Rabbi Hertz described the task be-
fore those raising the fund as vast and
urgent. The response to the appeal
for funds from the British Jews, he
said, was not nearly adequate, mainly
owing to their ignorance of the real
state of affairs. For nearly year
there has been a sinister silence In
the general press, broken only occa-
sionally by sheer at the Jews on the
part of preachers of race hatred and
apologists for reaction. The Jews, he
added, were face to face with a
tragedy unparalleled in the history of
Jewish agony.
The Petrograd authorities, Rabbi
Hertz concluded, expected a million
pounds ($5,000,OO0) from the British
Jews and only 100000 had been
raised. He said the present call was
for sacrifices and self taxation.

YOUNG FOLKS CORNER
TsIIinu ths Time Of pay.


Actual and repeated experiments
have shown that the nearest hour Of
the day or night may be ascertained in
the following very curious way:
Make small running loop in piece
of sewing thread about Il foot in
length. place a quarter dollar in this
loop. see that the coin is accurately
bisected by the thread and then draw
the loop tight
Put on IL solid table u glass tumbler
with u fairly wide mouth. Rest your
right elbow on the table in q firm and
easy position so as to avoid any shaki-
ness In your hand. hold the other end
of the thread between your first finger
and the bali, of the thumb. e..
the feshy top joint of the thumb-so
that the thumb nail is undermost and
a few inches above the middle of the
mouth of the glass.
Now, If you keep your hand quite
steady the movement Of the coin which
is hanging inside the tumbler will be-
come less and less until motionless.
Then, in half a minute or so, a very
slight and regular vibration will COM
mence, the coin oscillating from side
to side like pendulum and gradually
increasing the length of movement UNI
til 1t strikes the side Of the glass.
The strike goes ON in the most regu-
lar and automatic way-first on one
side of the glass and then on the
other-until, say. eight strokes have
been struck. The vibrations of the
coin then diminish in length until the
suspended coin again becomes motion
less and hangs in the middle of the
'tumbler. You look at your watch and
find that 8 o'clock is the nearest hour.

All that is required to produce this

Inside the box is a saucer half filled
with carbonate of ammonia, upon
which sufficient hydrochloric acid Is
poured until dense vapor of ammonia

hole and assumes beautiful circles of

their shape till dissipated..
