MOREsNEIys CENTURY OF
FREEDOM BROUGHT TO
END BY GERMAN ARMY

When the kaiser's army initiated
the world-war by invading Luxem-
burg and Belgium, the century-oId
freedom and independence Of Mores-
net came to an end. This little strip
of land, called by the French and
Belgians the Terrftoire Neutre de
Moresnet, and known to the Ger
mans as Altenberg and to the Dutch
as Kalnis, is on the border between
Prussia and Belgium, thirty miles
east Of Liege and only five miles from
Aix-la-Chapelle or Aachen. Moresnet
is only about a mile and a, half long
and a mile in breadth, and has a
population OF less than 1000, but the
mountainous little strip Of land con-
tains an immensely rich zinc mine
When the German troops poured over
the Belgian border and advanced on
Lege force was left behind to take
possession of Moresnet, which for a
hundred years had been a neutral and
independent territory.
This Sunday marks the Tooth ami
versary of the agreement between the
governments of Holland and Prussia
by which Moresnet was set apart as
f'no-natton's land" with status
unlike that of any other country on
the globe. When the diplomats met

OF which the meters adopted by the

The particular charm of England is
her ancient villages, where life has
moved leisurely for centuries and
taken on a quaint and settled perfec-
ton that is found nowhere else.
C1oyelly on the DeEonshire and
Bristol channel, ten miles from the
nearest railroad, set at the waters
edge and banked by forested hills, is
one Of the most perfect OF these Eng
slish villages. and one that has changed
] least since the generous days OF Eliz-
abeth's reign. You come to it by a
white road over the hilltops, between
tall hedgerows filled with climbing
roses, and then down into a forest OF
oaks that are centuries old, and hung
with moss and mysterious with age.
These ancient forests OF England
stir the Imagination as no others can.
! and his jolly bank OF shuntsmen max
ing their camp IN shadow-dappled
glade, they would seem but At and
\ part OF. the picture s. !.
Out OF the forest you look down
the one street OF CloNell va street
that has never known horse ior wag-
on, for it is but steep, cobbled stair
way, and al the traffic of the village
\ Is carried on the backs of surefoote
donkeys. On either side OF the street
are white-washed houses with roses
and fuchsias and lilies, luxuriant
products OF the damp sea air, growing
in the strip of turf on either side Of
their doorsteps How old these houses
are, nobody knows. The keeper Of
the Red Lion Enn says his establish
ment was built six hundred years ago,
and that nothing has been added to
the village since he has been old
enough to know:
At the foot of the street is an old
stone quay. and about 1t are drawn
up fishing boats, and beyond it reach
the hay blue waters OF the channel
The peaeefulness OF Clovelly enters
into the lives OF its people. No one has
been arrested there within the memory
OF man. Some years ago, the village
fathers tell, a young man went to a
nearby town and took too much ale
and had to be spoken to. But time
has healed the bitter memory OF that
scandal. When evening falls on, Clo-
veHy, women come and sit In the
,doorways and knit and gossip and
men lounge before the Red Lion Inn
and tell OF the great wrecks and
storms which are the only stirring
