The company is governed by two
burgomasters, one named by the Ger

1000 Belgians and 400 Neutres in the
country. To become Neutre it must
be proven that ones family has resid-

either German or Belgian judges. But
whatever judge is selected must use
the Code Napoleon ana make his de-

The taxes are also equally divided
between Germany and Belgium as are
the two post offices.
When the little country began to
suffer for lack of food the problem

LONDON. Jan. 31.--In an effort to
penetrate to every portion OF Bel
GUM in their relief work, the dele
gates of the American commission for
the relief of Belgium have discovered
in the remotest corner of that coun-
try no mans land which since 1915
has enjoyed absolute independence
under guarantee of perpetual neu-
trality, which even in the present
struggle has never been violated. This
little country of one square mile in
size is called Moresnet Neutre and
has Holland to the north, Belgium to
the west and Germany everywhere
else. But Moresnet Neutre Is neither
Belgian, German nor Dutch. II used
to be part of Belgium and was until
1915 like the rest of that country
province OF France. BY the treaty OF
Vienna, Belgium and Holland became
independent countries, but Moresnet,
which at that time held the greatest
zinc mine OF Europe, became bone
of contention between Prussia and
the Netherlands. Finally neither got
it and the difficulty was solved by
making il neutral territory.
The mine Of zinc mas long since
been exhausted in Moresnet, but, dig
ging into deeper strata the vein was
continued into Belgian and German
territory. Consequently the country
has lost its chief reason for retain
ing it's independence. but by keeping
the mine smelter in its territory 1t has
continued to receive the same consi-
deration from its powerful neighbors
as in the past.
The whole country is owned by the
Vieille Montague company, which,
with the exhaustion of the zinc de
posts. sought other fields until II has
become so internationalized that 1t is
as neutral in it's impartial activities
as the country where IT got its start
The president of the company is

scouts and two Villista soldiers near
Bachiniba last Friday, which preceded
the engagement in which a squadron
of the 10th cavalry repulsed Villa
troops, reached here today.
For five minutes the four men bIazed
away, none of the bullets finding its
mark, according to the soldier telling
the story. He said the scouts were
miles ahead Of the American column,
investigating points north of Guerrero
toward which the Villistas retreated
following the first battle.
THE two scouts were near ranch
house close to Bachiniba when they
were hailed by a pair Of Mexicans
standing behind an adobe WALL he
said. The Mexicans ordered them to
come into the ranch patio and when
