ANOTHER EXAMPLE GERMAN FORESIGHT Volume Giving Equivalents of Questions Found on
 Dead Soldier

Paris, January 16.-tSpecial.)- )--Ex- tracts have been published, here from a remarkable little volume found on the body of German noncommissioneG officer who was killed In the fighting Conversation in Enemy Country" written by Lieutenant Won Weltzien of the Twenty sixth infantry regiment and published in Berlin in 1912, the year following the grave international crisis over Morocco.
 The book contains French transla- tions more or less correct, of wide selection of phrases such as invading troops, particularly German troops. tight be expected to need in their march through the territory invaded.
 Among tho earlier examples are French equivalents for questions as to truth being demanded uifder penalty of death, the residence of the mayor. App rarently noncomplaisant attitude on the part of the authorities is taken for granted, since the following Hum mating words are given as uitahle retort
 Good. You force me to take for my self what I want. It goes without saying that I shall commence with your house."
 X visit to- the requisitioned house follows, and the owner is ordered to have clean sheets put in the bed, and meanwhile to satisfy his unwelcome visitors hunger by providing "a light collection" (collation) This "collcction'' is to consist of bread, butter, cheese end meat, with glass of wine, a bottle of beer. or 8 glass of milk"
 After%ard the people in the house are to abstain from :. all noise" be- cause the guest is g6ng to have an hours sleep. He will later require a real dinner"
 Furnish men with 300 eggs. Your fowls don't lay? In that case they are useless we shall taken them and kill them"
 A grim note is. however, strictly the authors rendering of these two sentences: "The village will be razed. The mayor will be shot without mercy"

Tremors Continue

Sora, Italy January 17.--(Via Rome ) Slight earth tremors have not ceased here and local authorities declare not single house in town is safe for occupancy Captain Fusi, directing rescue work, is convinced more than 1000 victims are buried in the debris. There is very little hope of finding any of them alive
 The sufferings of the homeless popula- ton have been intensified by cold, driz- zling rain. The people have been warned not to reoccupy houses which remain standing until the buildings have been inspected. The nights have been spent in the open, where the only heat has been provided by camp fires. Huts are being erected in the fields to shelter the women and children. Food is being dis tributed by communal officials.
 The church of Santa Restituta, protect tress of the town, was full of worshippers when the first shock occurred The con- gregation rushed out. moment later a second shock leveled the edifice, destroy ing everything except a satue of the saint uninjured, the statue gleams white, With arms upraised above a scene of utter des- olation. The peasants believe they were saved by a miracle, and that Santa Res- tituta herself protected her worshippers
 Houses which show no crevices in the outer walls are completely demolished on the interior. The house in the middle of block is a mass of debris, while the adjoining houses on either side are stand ing
 Business of all kinds has ceased en- tirely. The surviving residents wander aimlessly through the streets apparently taking little interest in what is going on around them. All seem strangely apa- thetic. They cannot realize the extent of the calamity.
 When King Victor Emmanuel visited Sora he personally promised the children made orphans by the earthquake that they would be cared for. The sovereign constantly was surrounded by throngs of citizens and when a detachment of car abineer attempted to disperse the crowd his majesty ordered the officer in com mand to employ his men elsewhere. say ing the King needed no protection.

Weather Adds to Horror

Severe winter weather has added 10 the misery of the survivors, ilany of whom are without shelter. Urgent ap- peals for food are coming from mary places.
 Some of the rescues are regarded as almost miraculous. At Avezzano one entire family of six were eXtricated slive from the ruins of their home.
 Tenement houses in the Testaccio quarter of Rome cracked by the earth quake have been vacated by their ten ants, who have established a camp in neighboring square.
 Many cable messages have been re- ceived from Italians in America who gre anxious regarding the safety of relatives. Elr

PUTTING BELGIUM
 0N|TSFEET AGAIN General Won Bissing Pleased With His Success in Re-
 viving Industry

Berlin, December 2.--(Special.) 1.-The Brussels correspondent of Die Post sends a long interview with the gov ernor general of Belgium, General Won Bissing, in which the latter declares that in general he is entirely pleased with the manner in which the Belgian people have received his efforts to "put the country back on it's feet again.
 'The principal problem. that of feed ing the people, has been fairly well met and solved said Won Bissing, but we have had less success in our attempts to revive manufactures and industries. Until the usual facilities for the importation of raw material and the export of manufactured goods are restored at the end of the war, the sit- uation must be to some extent ab- normal.
 But, while it must be admitted that industry in general lies under serious difficulties, there is one branch of it which we have succeeded in develop ing very well. l refer to the mining industry, especially the mines in the neighborhood of Liege, from which we are now producing almost as much coal as in times of peace; and even the mines in other districts are working we'll The management and further ad- vancement of this business I have en- trusted to the committees of central coal QeDOIS WHlCH Il udFe ildde UT dtcu. These committees are in a position to become acquainted with local needs, and they can consequently take what measures are necessary for supplying the requirements of their particular districts
 General Won Bissing remarked that the measures adopted to induce work men to set about their tasks under German supervision were working sat- isfactorilv as were also the measures taken to check the boycott of Germans by the Beleians. Remarking that the public schools throughout Belgium are again open, the governor said:
 But the supervision is, to some ex- tent, of political nature, so that the schools themselves cannot be used as a field for political agitation and it will not be possible for the rising gen eration to be brought up with feel ing of enmity. toward the Germans planted in theN breasts. should, in- deed, be pleased if only I could say that the universities too were once again at work and certainly have left nothing undone to this end"
