TO BE ANNEXED
 BY THE GERMANS ||l "A
De2gium and French Territory Now Under German Occupancy to
 Become Part of Empire.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 18.- The Lausanne Gazette publishes a statement that the German movement is preparing to officially announce to the powers of the world that Belgium and the northern portions of France now occupied by Germany will be an- nexed into the German empire.
 The announcement will not come as surprise to the powers of Eu- rope as Germany is known to have determined that she will keep con- trol of Belgium and northern France and will refuse to entertain any plan for peace which would rob her of free access to the English channel. The territories in Belgium and France now under German control are being subjected to German laws and the re- sources of the countries being used for the maintenance of the empire.
 1t is understood that the German government is considering the confis- cation of all properties of Belgium and French citizens who have failed to return while the territories are under German control and that the farms and city property will be di- vided among the German soldiers, the government retaining control of the coal and mineral lands.

 forts With Europe.

Bryan will be asked by the editors of the foreign language newspapers and magazines published in America to go to Europe in the interests of peace.

 The fact that Bryan resigned from President Wilson's cabinet rather than approve of the demands of the United States upon Germany when Aa believed that the position adopted by the president would lead to the severance of diplomatic relations be- tween tGergany and America, the edi- tors AssN would make him the fit ting psTce representative of the Uni ted States.
 Mir. Bryan has taken the matter un' der consideration and will confer with President Wilson before decid- ing on the proposition as he has de- elared that he will not take any ac- ton to complicate or make interna- aional affairs more difficult for the administration.

J. BUCHAREST is THE
: LITTLE PARIS" OF THE
TURBULENT BALKANS


Describing Bucharest. the capital OF
lumania, a statement issued by the Ma
ional Geographic Society says:
The Rumanians have spared no effort or
bought toward making Bucharest, their
apital city. a real capital. and not just
ne of the larger Balkan towns, cut to the
,evere design OF the modern commercial

med with enterprise. OF thrift lightened
by keen appreciation of the embellish-
ments and pleasures of life.
And in Bucharest one finds more ar
dstic. literary and scientific life than In
my other part of the peninsula. Today,

nous difficulties of normal Balkan poll
tics. made a thousand times more diff
gives the ~assurance-the Rumanians are
pot likely to risk lightly what they have
builded with so much care.
Bucharest Is an attractive city OF 100000.
1t Is laid out with many broad b~ouleVards
and avenues, as becomes a capital, ana
has, as Paris, Berlin and Washington, ia
nous drives and parks within Its area, an
avenue OF parades,'' and geological and
botanical gardens. The city Is built In a
hollow between the hills upon both sides
OF the Dimbovitza river, which is crossed
by L. ornate bridges. There are some truly
magnificent buildings upon its broad thor
oughfares, among the most prominent of
which are the royal palace. the university,
the national theater. and the palace OF
Justice.
Bucharest has some squalid sections,
with narrow, crooked streets, but these
are "reminiscences OF the Turkish regime,
and are fast disappearing. While Buchar-
est does a considerable commercial busl-
ness, 1t is of no Importance industrially.
Bucharest. like our own capitl. has been
developed primarily as a capital. The Ru-
manians have chosen Paris and Vienna
as their models, and ave produced q jul
dicious blending OF the two upon the much
smaller Balkan scale. Bucharest has
plenty OF good music, and its people who
gather in the concert halls or enjoy the
free military concerts in the evening along
some promenade are appreciative and crit
lcal listeners. The national theater brings
varied offerings, and that the best. Them,
the entertainments OF the little capital are
discreet limitations OF social Paris. with a
touch OF mild Niennese friendliness. Fur
'therrnore. Bucharest, as also becomes q
European capital. is a great educational
center. Its schools, academies, colleges
and university are models for Balkan
>untries.
