BELGIUM
Be GIVEN / FULL
INDEPENDENCE

THE HAGUE, Netherlands. - The
complete restoration of the indepen'
dence of Belgium is the object of a
call to the neutrals of the American
republics, the three Scandinavian
states. Switzerland and Spain, which
has been issued over the signatures
of 100 university professors, artists,
writer's and other we'll known men in
Holland. 49,.
1t is declared that the government
and parliament of the German en-
pire, alone of all the belligefents,
have officially declared that they will
endeavor at the conclusion of peace
to put an end to the independence Of
a neighbor state. Various utterances
of the Imperial Chancellor are quoted
ed as meaning that neither in mill
tary nor economic respect, nor even
in the arrangement of such questions
as the relationship between. the two
languages of the country, is Belgium
to be mistress in her own house.
The call to the neutrals says the
whole world, with the exception Of
Germany and her allies, Is convinced
that the robbery of any state what.
ever of its independence must be re-
garded as crime and as source of
fresh wars 1T seems to us neces.
sary," it continues, that this prin-
ciple shall now be uttered as the EN-
phatic demand of all neutral peoples
necessary in order that those con-
templating an assault on a small
neighbor may feel Tess inclination
thereto in the knowledge that such
assault will not go unpublished; nee.
essary, too, for the support of those
in Germany itself who detest the an
nexation policy. The neutrals have
the right, duty and power to sit In
judgment where the defense of the
highest interests Of humanity Is con.
cerned. They can refuse to maintain
relations with state which before
hand declares its intention to use a
small neighbor to pay the score when
the reckoning day comes"

LEPER COLONY IS
.EXTERMINATED BY
REVOLUT|0NISTS
TBy Associated Pressl

CANTON, China.-Julius A. Kempf,
member of the American Reformed
Presbyterian Church Mission at TAX
Hing, on the West river in Shantung
province, has advised the American
consulate here Of the complete exter.
mination of leper colony near that
mission by recent revolutionary sol
diers, and sought the assistance of the
consul in preventing a recurrence Of
such barbarity.
The leper colony consisted of 13 un-
fortunates who made their home on a
houseboat on the West river near a
temple in which the soldiers were
CHARTERED. Without warning the SOL
oilers fired upon the houseboat, kill
ing ten of the lepers. Two members
of the colony jumped into the river
and started for the opposite shore,
but it is not known whether they es-
capped death. One leper escaped into
the hills. The soldiers then burned
the houseboat.
Mr.. Kempf and his associates had
been assisting the leper colony for
some time, supplying the sufferers
with food and endeavoring to better
their condition.
II is not uncommon for leper colo
mics to be exterminated in China eth
er by the military or civilians who re-
sent having the unfortunates near
them. in many cases the lepers pro-
woke the attacks by begging insist
entity and threatening to touch per-
sons who refuse to give them aims.

this to the fact that the instructions

The struggle between Steel Plank
and James J. Crawford's Ophir Steel
is historical. The pure love of fighting
was in Crawford; he fought CARBIDE to
a standstill and then kicked him, filling
CARBIDE with mixture of terror and
painful admiration.
But sheer luck caught at Garcide's
coat-tails and hung there. Crawford,
proving in the purlieus of society, had
seen Miss Castle.
The next day Crawford came into
Garcide's office and accepted a chair
with such humble and uneasy smile
that CARBIDE mistook his concilatorv
demeanor and attempted to bully him.
But when he found out what Crawford
wanted, he nearly tainted in an attempt
to conceal his establishment and delight.
''Do you think I'd buy you off with
an innocent ehild?" he said, flashing
himself into good imitation of an in
suited gentleman.

after a few more years he did other
things equally edifying, but which,
if mentioned, might identify him.
Church work had always interested
him. AS speculation in moral obliga-
ton, he adopted Peter Castles orphan,
who turned to him in a passion of
gratitude and blind devotion And as
she babe fair to rival her dead mother
in beauty, and as rich men marry
beauty when it is in the market, the
Hon. John CARBIDE decided to control
the child's future. A promise at ten
years is quickly made, but he had
never forgotten it, and she could not
forget.
And now CARBIDE needed her as he
needed mercy from Ophir Steel, which
was slowly crushing his own steel
syndicate to powder.

Miss Castle herself leaned on the

what he had to say and pulled out
his cigar-case with decision.
Il have only to add he said,
that James j. Crawford is one
man In million.
Her youthful alteration of CARBIDE
had changed within a few years to a
sweet-tempered Indifference. He
was aware of this; he was anxious
to learn whether the change had
also affected her inherited passion
for truth fulness.
