The Hague, Netherlands, Oct. g. At is reported that the University }of Ghent will open late this month Tor early in November as a Flemish ktnstitutions in accordance with the ideas of Governor-General von Biss- ling. notwithstanding the sharp oppo- sition of the Belgium. government at Havre.
 l Anonymous circulars are being dis trfbuted among professors and stu dents calling upon them to boycott lGhent hereafter. The University authoritieA however have already secured fifteen Flemish and twenty Hive Dutch professors. Most of them quite unknown men, who have hith- Ferto held minor positions in the edu- Ecational realm. A number of dfs- ktinguished scholars have declined the kproferred posts, notwithstanding the kguarantee of a high pension should Fthey be busted from their positions af- ter the way.
 | A body calling itself "The Flemish University Association" and. compris- ing over hundred members has just Issued a manifesto signed by two par Elementary deputies and others setting North reasons why the decree of the kgovernor-general in this matter is to tbe regarded "as a just and legal de- Ecree of a competent authority" prais- ling those who have joined the staff of the University and condemning for Inner professors who have declined to |serve.
 The Belgian government at Havre, However, has resolved, to remove the names of three Ghent professors lfrom the role of the Knights of the Leopold Order for cooperating in the new scheme. which, in it's view, aims at dividing Belgium. The Belgian government is itself prepared, it is stated. on the conclusion of peace, to Jay a bill before Parliament for the tFlemishizing of Ghent, having a1- Nready had such plan under consid-

DEPARTMENTS LEAGUE PERFECTS PLANS FOR REPRlSAL UPON THE
 "BIC THREE" MILK DISTRIBU1ERS

the Bureau of Food and Markets of the Health department, said the plan had been tried before and was prac- ticable. But Commissioner Dillon said the Dairymen's League would sell any quantity of milk to the Borden com pany at the price it would cost them per quart to produce it in Flushing.
 MT. Dillon was much angered by advertisements published in yester- days papers by Lotion Horton, presi- dent of the Sheffield Farms company, saying that the issue at stake in the present fight was one of lowering or maintaining the quality of milk by giving. in to the farmers demands.
 The investigation of the Attorney General into the milk situation will be continued tomorrow before Referee William Dykman. At that time it is possible that the charges by Commis- sioner Dillon against MT. Horton will be investigated.

VESSELS KNOWN HERE LIKELY TO
 BE SUB VICTIMS
Men of Waterfront Here Ex- tremely Interested in
 Perils Off Nantucket.

Local lumbermen and longshoremen were much interested today in the &C., tivity of the German submarine off Nantucket because of the number of Canadian schooners which enter here with lumber. While at, present no boats are en route to this city, it is a common thing in the fall for such schooners to enter here daily. At the Frank Miller Lumber Co. it was said today lat their lumber boats would not begin to enter here for about a month while the Park City Lumber Co., reported that it has only one boat on the way here and that is from a Maine port. The A. W. Burritt CO. said that it did not expect any vessels from Canada for two months. One lumber schooner, the Odell, is on her way here from Maine but as she is under the American registry they are not worrying about her. It is the cus- tom for Canadian vessels after un- loading their cargoes here to proceed to some coaling station, load with coal and carry this back to their home port.
 Men about the harbor recalled to- day that Stephano, sunk Sunday by the submarine, was familiar passer. She usually took the Sound route to New York ane so was fre- quently seen off these shores. She was said to have been sold recently to the Russian government and to have been making her last trip as a mer- chantman when torpedoed.
 Two large ocean going tugs, the M. Moran and the Eugene Moran, both often seen in this harbor, have re- gently been sold to the English gov- ernment by the Moran Go. They are being fitted as turtlebacks and are now ip Halifax.
 The J. P. King & Co. has also sold two of its big steel barges to the French government, and one of these is now being taken to Europe in tow of the steamer W. S. Thompson, while the other is being fitted in Staten Island for service abroad. The Gypsy King is a large Nova Scotian tug which usually tows several barges between that state and these ports. All of these tugs are frequent visitors in this harbor and as they are all foreign registry and susceptible to the attacks of the submarines, there is much local interest in them at pres ent,

MAYORS TRIP

Mayor Clark and Ben Miller will leave Bridgeport tomorrow evening for Chicago. and will represent Bridge port at the Municipal convention, which is to be held in that city Oct 14th to the 17th. Mayor Clark says that he goes at his own expense as he explained that a great deal has been said of junketing trips lately and the bill of the Cincinnati last year, so there will be no ground for criti- cism on this occasion. He will make a. report on his return to the Com mon Council. One of the reasons he says, that impels him to pay his own expenses is the shortness of money in the. city treasury for needed ex- penses. The application of the Board of Charities for money for the poor of the city, shows the need of econo- my.

CHINA AS 4 REPUBLIC.

Chinese republicans will celebrate today the fifth anniversary of what they call the s"Great Revolution The anniversary of that October day when China amazed the world be de- claring a republic now. finds the Mother of the East relapsed into her old lethargy. It is true that the niili- tant republicans of China have not admitted defeat, but, on the contrary, insist that the passing of Yuan Shih- ka1 has removed the most formidable obstacle to their success. As bricks cannot be made without straw, so a republics cannot be constructed with out republicans, and these are all too few in \China. Enthusiastic and earnest as they are. those Chinese who have grasped the. democratic ideal and are laboring to put it into practice are but a handful among the uncount ed millions of ancient China. They may leaven the mass, awaken the na- tion from its long slumber,, and realize the ideals of the Great Revolution, but such a consummation is extremely doubtful. 1
 The European war has had a pro- found effect upon the thought of edu- cated Chinese. The result has been to drive them in exactly contrary direc- tions. Some of them look upon the bloody struggle in Europe as a terri b1e example of Christian civilization, and as warning of what may be- fall China if she does not return to the peaceful faith of the fathers and abjure the white deviIs," their reli- zion, and all their works. To others the European appeal to force seems to carry the lesson that China must awaken, arm herself, and prepare to meet possible enemies with their own weapons.
 As matters stand, China is no bet ter off after her brief experiment with so-called republicanism than she was in the days of the "Tiger Empress" and no worse. With no army worthy of the name, no navy, few resources for the practical educa- tion of her millions, no great indus tries and no money, she is helpless to protest herself against those who would exploit her.. China realizes dimly, that the war of the white dew ills may seal her own fate and decide her future, but, torn by internal strife and dissension which has made her government farce, she can only await the issue with her accustomed patience. That is the strong forte of the Chinese-their. patience. For centuries they have been trained to patience. The Chinese believe that their destiny is a high one, but they are willing to wait and let it overtake them. Running to overtake it does not appeal to them. It is only the republicans. who are in a hurry, who want to rush matters, to see some progress accomplished in their own timee. And there are not enough of them to count.

Of course, we have all heard of MT. Anderson, and from the opinions of the many newspapers which we have seen, we feel safe in stating that he is the finest performer in his line. His experiments are all new and he uses no apparatus and most of them are performed in the midst of the audience. Anderson uses no pictorial posters to announce his success, nor any advance puffery, but relies on his reputation and merit to herald him, and we trust that he will be greeted with full house such as his artistic excellence demands
