Renswinr Lifs in BELGIUM.

While the lurid glow Of war yet lights the
western coast OF Belgium, reports coming from
behind the firing line indicate that in the east
ern part OF that country normal conditions are
being restored. The fields around Louvain are
green again with the verdure Of spring, crops
have been planted anew and another harvest is
promised. The life OF the country lie proceeding
very much as before the invasion. Industry is
also being resumed, and mining operations are
carried on on large scale. Engineering, the
great technical magazine. gives figures to show
that the coal mines of Belgium are being oper-
ated almost to capacity. Some difficulty is
being experienced because OF the Interruptions
Of transportation, but these are fast being over
come.
This is further proof OF German genius for
organization. The intensely practical Teuton
has not allowed the incident Of war to disturb
business to a greater extent than is absolutely
unavoidable II may be argued that the output
of the Belgian mines, both coal and iron, is
being used in the prosecution OF the war but
this is not against the fact that the Germans
have restored Industrial activity in the invaded
region within very short time. The fields
and gardens will again produce food for Bel
CLANS, while the mines and mills will give work
"a those who want IT,
Belgiums political status is yet TO be deter

for the accommodation Of a few tramps

Mexican Factions Active.

President Wilson's warning has stirred up
much motion among the factional leaders in
Mexico, and each is now apparently striving to
gain a position OF advantage before settlement
time comes. This sudden display Of military
activity Is not all in accord with the spirit of the
presidents note. He advised that the contend
ing Mexicans adjust their differences by reasona-
Bile methods. with a warning that unless they
could do so the United States would be forced
TO take steps to provide a stable government for
that country.
Instead Of following the friendly suggestion,
the generals" show an inclination to resort to
Kilkenny cat methods, and the unhappy cond-
ton OF the people below the Rio Grande is being
made worse, while intervention seems more GER
tain TO be required. The unexpected may hap
pom, and Mexico may be tranquilised without the
presence OF United States forces. but it doesn't
seem likely now.
