LIFE IN BRUGEs
IS CONSTANT MISERY
Butter Selling in Belgian Town for

Boulogne, Jan. 23.-The life that is
being led at Bruges is one of constant
misery In this big Belgian town
coal is very scarce, and to obtain a
to none has to pay $40 while butter
it over $1.65 pound.
s. All industry IS practically at a
standstill, the Germans having taken
all the necessary materials and sent
them to Germany. Ssa
Every Wednesday and Saturday the
Germans enter the market place, and
everything that is Of use to them is
taken and packed Off to Germany In
exchange they write out boAd, ITO
be refunded at 3 per cent" They are
taking everything portable which they
can find. In the old town of Bruges
are to be found very many beautifully
carved oak doors and panels. The
Germans have had all these unhinged,
carefully packed up, and addressed TOR
transit to Germany. They put several
persons in prison for attempting to
argue with. them when on these raids.

DENOUNCE ATTACK
Child LABOR Law
Murray A. Auerbach and M.
j. Mcmahon Say Law
Shouldn't Be Weakened.

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-"I do not be-
lieve for minute that the 1888
people who voted in September for
the new child labor law will stand
for weakening of its provisions be-
fore it has been given a fair trial."
This was the opinion expressed to-.
day by Murray A. Auerbach of Lit
tie Rock in speaking of the bill in
troduced into the legislature las,
Thursday, proposing to make exemp-
tons to the 14-year age limit which
went into effect January first.
eff this bill goes through it will
mean that the legislature is deliber-
ately setting aside the expressed Will
of three-fourths of the citizens who
voted in September" Mr.. Auerbach
referred to the fact that in none of
the other states which have estab-
lshed flat 14-year limit and abolish
ed exemptions for poverty has such
an exemption been restored. There
is always some other, better way to
meet the few cases of absolute need
which result Missouri in 1911
abolished it's exemption of the poor
CD1lQren, WHO lllOSl uceu TIE III otCC-
ton of law, and yet We do not hear
of any hardship resulting.
"In New York there has been for
years a scholarship fund for children
over IA whom the raising of the edu-
cational standard on the physical
test required has kept from working,
and the largest number of children
which has ever been receiving scho-
,arships at any one time in the entire
city of New York is 70. l don't be-
lieve many Arkansans would admit
that we have any poverty problem
to compare wit hthat in New York's
slums."
NJ. J. Mcmahon, deputy commits
sioner of labor, of Little Rock is also
opposed to the bill.
'In common Justice" he says, mot
only to the children, but to the voters
of Arkansas, it seems to me that the
law should be allowed to stand for
at least year before any changes
are considered"

Contested TRENCH
CONTAINED ONLY DEAD
Enfllading Fire of qermans Killed
All F.ench Troops Occupying
Position.

Paris, Jan. pa French sergeant
tells the story of how he found him.
self in a trench of the dead. His
detachment had advanced from the
wood which they occupied, and on
mounting a slight rise in the ground
came under fierce rifle and machine
gun fire. Seeing q French trench
some twenty yards away, the ser.
geant signalled to his comrades, to
take refuge there. u
Five Of them understood the SIG
nal and followed him, but before the
little band had advanced more than
a few yards the five were struck
The sergeant, though not hit, wisely
slammed death. When the firing died
down he rose and made wild dash
for the shelter Of the trench, into
which he leaped just as fresh fusil-
lade broke out.
His leap had brought, him near to
an Algerian tirailleur who lay in
the trench in the attitude Of firing.
He spoke to the man, then touched
him, and found that he wac dead. He
passed along the line, touching other
recumbent bodies. All were dead.
The sergeant was the only living man
in the trench.
But from the right OF the trench
came the clatter of French machine
guns. Stepping over the dead bodies,
the sergeant made hi. way In the az
rection of the welcome sound. Trail
leurs-living this time-made signs
to him to approach, and soon he
was among them.
Then he learned what had hap-
pened The trench had been taken
In the flank and raked by an on
filading fire, which compelled all
who escaped the first ctorm Of shot
to take refuge in the right extrem-
ity OF the trench. which bent back
wards in elbow form. Hence the sur
vivors could rake their own trench
with their machine-guns.
