as important part in the winning or

With the thoroughness which is so
characteristic Of their nation the Ger
mans have for years made the feeding
OF their soldiers a matter OF scientific
study. Their commissary department
is under the direction Of q group OF
dietetic specialists who are admitted
to have no superiors and few equals.

ostend has stood many a siege, the
most notable that of little more
than three centuries ago, when the
place yielded to the Spaniards after a
resistance Of three years. The city

relief OF the great seaport.
Nearly two centuries ago the Ostend
East India company was organized by
the Emperor Charles vi. OF Germany,
who as ruler OF Austria also ruled the
Spanish Netherlands. This company
was intended to secure for ostend A
share In the East Indian trade. and to
make the city great commercial

protest, and In 1871 the emperor, after
having suspended the operations of his
company for seven years, definitely
abandoned his scheme. Since that
time ostend has been mostly one Of
Europe's play places.
In the political history OF the United
States, 0stend has a curious share.
When in 1854 James Buchanan. John
Y. Mason and Pierre Soule were our
ministers respectively to Great Britain,
France and Spain. the three met at
the charming Belgian watering place
and after consultation. prepared what
is known as the "0stend Manifesto" {"

Ing the long season Of its summer and
autumn vogue, which extends from
the first of June nearly to the end Of
October, there are far more transient

nentals of all ranks.
The place Is by no means what the
awed admirer of his betters calls lex
elusive" yet It is utterly unlike any
American watering place, popular or
otherwise. and it is in acute contrast
with that marvellous resort of the
Dutch Scheveningen, where the ser
ried thousands Of hooded wicker
beach chairs make the foreshore like
vast apiary.

beauty, Bruges, the most remarkable

go by canal in one Of those slow little
