i This area is the sand dune, infertile
lowlying, sparsely populated part OF
Belgium. Antwerp, Brussels, Liege
Client, Charleroi, Louvian, Namur
Ostend, Malines and some score OF
other important cities Of the low coun-
try are under German domination. In
that strip Of territory which the allies
defend, there Is not a single city with
10000 population, and there are but
ten small towns in all the sections
The coal fields Of Liege, Mons and
Charleroi, with their annual outputs
in normal times Of 100000 tons a
year, are in the hands Of the invaders
The great steel and iron works OF
Liege and Charleroi are lost. When
in the years before the war, one pass
ed through the busy city Of Liege on
the Paris-Berlin express at night, he
saw thousands Of splashes Of fire
glow in the fieeting shadows, where
the restless furnaces Of the foundries

land, where factory and foundry line

The iron, zinc, lead and manganese
mines Of Belgium lie behind it's ene-
my's lines. It's rich quarries Of mar
BILE, granite and slate are in its north
ern and eastern provinces. Here also,
are it's forests and its more important
manufactures. These sections have
been in the hands Of the invaders
from the early days Of the war.
Ghent is the capital Of the Belgium
textile industry, an industry which
occupies many of the cities and towns
Of Flanders, where woolen and cotton
stuffs and lace genres are made. but
the looms all lie behind the German
front. So too, is all Of Belgium's q
agricultural country lost; and sand
drift and stretches where dairy farm
ing was carried on In peace times are
all that now remains under the shad-
ow Of Belgium's battle standards.
Belgium stood sixth among the ma
tions of the world in the relative value
Of her commerce before the war
broke out. Today this commerce has
been completely crushed; no free
ports remain and there is not even a
customs port on all her borders where
goods pass through save those ports
alone upon the French and German
borders where war munitions and
supplies for contending armies are
pouring in. Belgium's trade is no
more: her industry Is no more: her
mining is no more; her cities are
foreign soil; her schools, her four
universities at Client, Liege, Brussels
and Louvain are no more; her capital
is lost; her farms are gone-Belgium
herself, is almost nOn-eXistent as a
concrete thing.

The cocaine and morphine fiends
Of Decatur street, says an Atlanta,
Ca, dispatch, are beginning to suffer
the torments Of the damned since the
new Federal narcotic law has effectu-
ally taken away their opportunity to
obtain the drug, and many pitiful
cases are being turned up at the hos
pitals and police station. 1t is no un-
usual incident for a man or woman,
half-crazed with nervousness, to ap-
Grady hospital. begging that they be
taken in and given treatment. All
over the south, 1t is stated, there has
been a veritable rush Of confirmed
dope fiends toward the hospitals and
sanitariums. Another result Is that
the police fear that dope-users, de-
prived Of ther drug, will be driven to
crime. The police have learned from
experience to fear the cocaine users
more than any other class Of dope
fends because cocaine sharpens the
wits and makes crooks more nervy
and more crafty. In Atlanta there are
many cocaine users, both negro and
white. Whisky, the police say. only
makes a man think he Is smarter:
morphine soothes him and makes him
duller, but cocaine actually does make
him smarter for the time being,
though he suffers a corresponding re-
action when the effect Is over. 1t Is
estimated by the detective department
that at least 60 per cent Of the crimi-
nal classes are regular dope users.
drug that has caused a good
deal OF trouble In Atlanta, though In
much more limited way, is heroin.
When first discovered it was hailed by
the doctors as a welcome and safe
substitute for morphine, but its usage
dispelled this idea and though still not
known, wherever it does get
in it's work, it seems to be the great
est hahit-forming drug in the history
Of civilized peoples.

the young Englishman, speaking with

which would have been a blessing to

defeated through the opposition of
clergymen who owned brewery stocks.

clinching his fist and unconsciously
raising his voice, "our archbishop of
Canterbury was lately asked what his

years Of age. He is a little fellow
but he is called after great man. He
is a namesake of Abraham Lincoln.

Allan Rutledge took the child in

BELGIUM

Nearly All Of the Little Country is
Hold by the Germans
\ Out of 1870 square miles OF terri
tory occupied by Belgium before the
present war, less than 300 square
miles thereof is still held by the Bel
'igians and their allies; and the nor
NAL population Of the part of the
country still held by the Belgians Is
lonly 100000, while the peace popula-
'tion Of the whole country was more
than 100000. Thus begins state
hment just prepared by the National
tGeographic society, showing what
Belgium has lost of her territory since
the present war began. 1t then con-
tinues:
All of Belgium's cities, her COM
merce, industry and resources Of mine
and timber lands now lie behind the
German lines, which sweep from
Westende on the North sea, to Basle,
where the Rhine leaves Switzerland
for Germany.
Independent Belgium today Is a
thin strip Of land wedged into the
French department Of Pas-de-Galais.

The Danville Connection.
We mentioned in our last that the
directors Of the Statesville, N. c., rail-
road had patriotically surrendered a
portion Of their iron for the compile
ton Of the Danville road to Richmond.
We since learn that only about six
miles Of the rails just above Mount
Mourne will be taken up. The cars will
continue to run between Mount Mourne
and Charlotte, and so soon as strap
iron enough can be obtained to put
in the place Of the rails removed, we
presume the whole line will be put in
operation again.
AS this action will relieve the York
road for the present, we hope 1t will
not prevent a general meeting Of the
