 We took lunch on the little pine table covered with oilcloth, and our napkins were of paper. No laundry facilities in this part of Belgium, and one is thankful indeed to have bare necessities. There is one sole re- dee1ning feature on the Julia-a tiny tent of canvas and camp chairs on the deck.

 Runs Risk of Artillery Fire.
 A few days ago Miss Elliott hap pened to be in Fuernes, where she had gone for water for the boat.
 "No sooner had I arrived" she told me, "than bombarding began, and the alarm bells rang out. I was hur- ried into a cellar, damp and moldy, where a cad1e kept us from being in pitch darkness. Blasts continued with the following of falling brick and glass.
 Staying in the cellar grew tire- some, and as I had my camera I wanted to take pictures of the ruins So I ran up. The square was quite deserted. and as soon as arrived the sentinel called to me: Lie flat on your face, Quick!'
 II fell as bidden, and the man was right, for big obus was on it's way It crashed upon a house nearby, de- stroying it. When there was a lull, gathered my chauffeur and auto, and we came away.
 T was not frightened. It's all a big game we are playing, some with more risk than others, and if luck de- serts us, so much the worse."

tone OF disappointment In their Criti-
cisms. az II they had looked forward to
something more hostile. They agree,
that the note leaves the situa-
tion between America n Germany still
a serious one.
The Journal DIES Debdts says:
The note Is courteous, perhaps more
courteous than necessary. But the
United States finds Germany's proposal
unacceptable"
The Debdts believes that the passage
about the last two mouths of warfare
having shown an improvement that
meets the accepted rules of international
law will aus surprise, saying that II a
second l.usitania incident has not hap
pened. no perceptible change has been
noted IN submarine practice toward bel
l,serent or neutral ships. II mentions
the case Of the Orduna as showing that
the inclination to transgress iuternu-
tional laws has existed in the German
submarine policy II 1t has not been
manifested.
THE note says continues the Debats,
that both the United States and Ger
many are struggling for the same high
aim; that is, the liberty Of the seas.
These words show II singular optimism
or "A truly excessive p~oliteness."
with this reserve, the DcLdts says.
the language OF the essential points
shows "a frmness and clearness which
were to be expected from Washington.
Referring to the use Of the word "un-
friendly" the Debdts adds
The Significance OF this word IN the
diplomatic vocabulary is known. Lord
Rosebery interpreted it IN 1898, when
England used 1t regarding certain plans
to France. as meaning that
