There are now in England no Belgians
who are fit for military service except
those exempted for war work. Very
few undesira bleS have been found
among the refugees. and they were
early taken in control.
In the early days of the war, the
proposal was made to establish sep
arate Belgian colony. But this fell
through. and Belgians work under
the same conditions as Englishmen.
Three-fifths of the refugees are wo
men and children, and of these large
numbers are employed in factories
and as servants and nursemaids.
Belgians now living as England's
guests are composed partly of unfor-

Drastic Measure.
Dealers Holding Supplies for

Vienna Jan. 17.-Further measures
for the elimination of the middle
man whose participation In commerce
does not add to the value or facilitate
the distribution of necessities are
being adopted throughout the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy. Not alone are
new laws for this purpose being en-
acted but the provisions already MADE
by the civil and military bodies are
now being enforced with rlgor that
gives no quarter to offenders.
Laws in force and in the course OF
enactment provide that nobody within
Austria and Hungary may buy an
article of necessity and then sell II
again for the sake of personal gain.
This affects transactions in foodstutts
especially. When the European war
broke out ii was found that there were
many who wished to profit by II

A recent ruling in an Austrian su-
perior court in this city is of interest,
because it shows both the letter and
spirit of the "anti-speculation laws
which have been adopted.
In this case three Galclans nae
bought relatively small quantity OF
foodstuff, mostly grain. At the trial
it was shown that the three dealers
had sold the articles again in the same
town. in one instance wheat had been
resold to its original owner. A profit
had been made, and slight increase
in the price of food made from the
articles in question, had resulted, 1t
was proven.
The court ruled that under the law
that was an offense. because the sale
and resale of the articles had been
made by the defendants with profit
to which they were not entitled, hav-
ing added neither to the value of the
articles. nor facilitated their distribu-

certain time.
The defense was that the accused
had acted within their constitutional
rights by buying and selling as they
had done. and that they had not ham
pcred distribution. because they had at
all times been ready to sell. But the
prosecution obliged the defendants to
make the admission that they had

court found that this was now an Of
