GERMANY TO
QUIT BELGIUM
Willing to Evacuate Coun-

tons, Berne Says
SUPPLEMENTARY
NOTE TO VATICAN
Belgium Must Guarantee No
Menace to Germany Like
That of 1914

London, Sept 27.--Germany has
agreed to evacuate Belgium on certai,
conditions, il is declared in a German
official statement, according to dispatch
from Berne yesterday given out by the
wireless press.
Germany, it is stipulated. must have
the right TO develop her economic enter.
prises freely in Belgium, especially in
Antwerp.
The proposal was made in supplement
airy note to the Vatican, replying TO the
initiative of Pope Benedict. Ii was in
the form of a verbal communication
made by Fsreign Secretary Kuehlmann
to the Papal Nuneio of Munich, wherein
the foreign secretary specified the con.
ditions under which Germany was will
ing to conclude peace on the basis of
the evacuation of Belgium.
The verbal note to the Papal Nuncio
said Germany would contribute a share
Of the compensation to be paid to Bel.
GUM for war damages. Belgium would
be required, it said, to give guarantee
that any such menace as that which
threatened Germany in 1914 would in
future be excluded
Belgium must undertake to maintain
separation of the Elan
ders and Walloon districts introduced
by Germany, the vernal note says, be
cause this separation corresponds to the
wishes of a majority of the Belgium
people and because Germany desires such
separation on account of racial sym
pathy.

SUMMER HOME BURNED
M. c. Robbins Sustained $4,000 Loss Near
BTattleboro.

Brattleboro, Sept 27.--Dutton farm
the beautiful summer residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Merton c. Robbins of New
! York, located on the Black mountain
road, WAS visited by fire early yesterday
morning which resulted in the total loss
Of the house, garage and Hudson touring
ear, valued in all at more than $4,000.
Mrs. Robbins, the little girl. four years
old and two servants were alone in the
house, Mr., Robbins being in Boston.
About l;l5 O'Clock Mrs Robbins was
awakened by the smell of smoke and,
looking out of one Of the rear windows,
saw that the shed was in flames.
Acting quickly, she sent an alarm by
telephone which aroused all of the neigh
bors and then called the servants and
carried the child to place of safety
BY the time aid arrived the flames
had spread to the house and though
everyone worked valiantly all that it
was possible to save was a few clothes
and little furniture. Speedy action on
Mrs. Robbins part saved the day from
what otherwise might have been a very
disastrous fire indeed Fortunately there
was no wind, which prevented the blaze
from reaching the barn
About o'clock Mr. Robbins was no
tilted by telephone in Boston, while the
house was still burning, and he caught
the paper train, which reached here at
Q o'clock.
The house was built in 1850 by the
late Stephen Dutton, from whom Mr..
Robbins bought it 10 years ago, Since
that time he has made improvements
every year, until it was equipped with
every modern convenience, Further inn |
were being made this fall, |

REDUCING HER ARMY
Denmark Will Soon Have Less Than
10000 Men Under Arms.

Copenhagen, Sept. 27--The Danisi
government has ordered another reduc
tion in the size Of the standing army
The step is taken, it is stated, mainly
for financial reasons, but also because
discipline in the army has been weakened
and its quality deteriorated under pro-
traeted service"
At the beginning of the European war,
Denmark called up 10000 men in addi-
ton to the IL, 500 who are always under
training. This force was gradually re-
duced to $4,000, and a further reduction
Of about 25 per cent has now been decid-
ed upon.
All the parties, except the conservative
group, have approved Of the governments
decision The conservatives declined
acquieseenee on the ground that they
could not admit that "the danger of a
violation of Denmark's neutrality has
been essentially diminished"

was charged 25 cents, and those
taller, had to pay at the rate of
two and a half cents per inch
for their extra height. One man
