General Won Bissings answer TO
this question was the paragraph
quoted in the foregoing to the effect
that the Belgians are politically IN
disciplined children"
What inference was to be drawn
from his answer, the general did not
indicate. He also left unanswered the
question whether he believed If Bel
GUM or part of that country event
ually became a part Of Germany, 1t
would ever be possible completely to
Germanize the country, making il a
harmonious portion Of the German
empire.
Il don't think that is a question |
can answer at the present time he
replied.
General Won Kissing added that
conditions in Belgium as a whole
were "as good as could be expected
in the circumstances.
I'VE are lettering them as rapid
ly as possible In some directions we
have not yet accomplished what we
hoped, but in others we have sue
ceeded better than we expected"
General Won Kissing at first made
only emphatic gestures when asked
whether in view OF all that had hap
pened, was it not political and mill
tary error to have invaded Belgium.
Invasion Necessary.
Not to have marched into Bel
giunh would have been a very grave
mistake" he replied III we had not
done so. England and France would.
Events long before the war made It
apparent that some sort of an allie
ance existed between Belgium and
France and Great Britain. The last
named two would perhaps have found
some pretext to make 1t appear that
they were coming as allies and that
they were not violating Belgium S
neutrality but they would have
come. Germany then would have
found herself in a position of great
danger A strong state simply could
not suffer itself to be brought into
position so highly observation-disclosures
There was no other course possible
for Germany"
Speaking of American relief in Bel
GUM, in reply to a query whether
such help really were needed, Gem
eral Won Kissing said:
ut was and still is necessary III
the highest degree"
There have been suggestions,
said the representative of the Associ-
ated Press, that the German army
has been using some foodstuffs sent
to Belgium by Americans, What has
your excellency to say TO that 2"
"Such assertions must be absoiutel
ly denied. We are not even using any
Belgian products at the present time
but are drawing the entire food sup
ply of our soldiers from Germany IL
was only during the first days OF the
occupation that we lived off the
country in any degree. As for the
American supplies, it is highly i'm
portant that they keep coming regu-
larry. We are working harmoniously
with the American commission ana
the report that the German govern
ment ever placed obstacles IN the
way of the American relief workers
is false"

would be unpatriotic and disloyal to

THE Belgian civil courts" the
general said, "still exist and they try

diers or the military government are
tried by the so-called field courts,
which are military courts, presided
over by German judges"

comes, France must wait year or

NAL Industrial and commercitl life
the Seine deputy insists she is going
to lose a goodly portion of the ad-
vantages that would come from her
dearly bought victories.
In preparing his proposed laws for
government help in the reopening of
these industries. Brunei has another
object in view With the outbreak of
the war, France at once put into force
the most extensive measures of pro-
viding charity to the unemployed.
Vast sums are everywhere being spent
to this end, and especially at Paris and
the other larger cities, although a
goodly portion of this is now coming
from private and other sources, still
at least one third is coming out of the
annual budget.
This money, the Seine deputy in
sists, should go instead to aid the man
ufacturers to reopen their factories
and provide the employment that
would render charity unnecessary.
frances preparation for reaping all of
the advantages Of the peace that is
to come would thus also be assured.
Brunet's proposed laws which are
to come at once before the Chamber
of Deputies will propose the issuing
of industrial warrants similar to those
already issued for the Encouragement
OF agricultural developments. These
will permit the advances out OF the
government treasury of sufficient am
cunts to enable the manufacturers to
secure both materials and labor and
to carry the stock of finished products
on hand until the end of the war cre-
ates the market for them that is then
certain.
Where this material has been cor
nered and is being held by spectators
the government will have the right to
requisition It. 1t is practically at this
point that Brunei has injected also the
proposal in which the syndicatists Of
France see hopes of the realizations
OF their dreams, Brunei proposes
that these industrial warrants and
government loans so not only to es-
tablish manufacturers but to groups
OF skilled workmen who, lack only
the capital necessary, to begin pro-
duction on their own account. This
would give the latter their chance to
begin at least to reap the full profits
of their own labors and as Brunei fig
ures that the end of the war in France
must mark new era OF development
in the worlds progress, the attainment
OF new ideals along various lines OF
human endeavor. it should mark alse
at least the opportunity for the syn
dicatists to demonstrate the practical

Knitting at the opera, knitting at

But the fact that the convicts up at

having those doing time up the riy-

stones originated in the mind of Err

The credit for the application of the
idea belongs to Warden Thomas
