FORTY BELGIANS ESCAPE
BY MOST INGENIOUS RUSE

MAASTRIOT, Netherlands, Jan. 8
An ingenious ruse, smacking of pirate
yarns, has just enabled 40 Belgians to
get safely out of Belgium. A tugboat
lay on the river Meuse at Haccourt
early one morning, guarded by three
German soldiers One or two Belgians
casually approached and entered into
conversation with the sentries. the Sc
quel to a friendly chat being an invita-
ton to have a drink at the nearest hos
telry. Here a sleeping potion was
adroitinly introduced in the unsuspect-
ing Germans glasses. and a few min
utes later the sentries were carried
aboard the boat in a helpless condi-
ton
Three Belgians quickly donned their
uniforms, the rest of the fugitive party
had already taken up their quarters
below, and the towboat was soon
steaming Holland wards, the German
war flag flying brayely at the mast
head. Arrived at the lock, orders were
imperiously shouted and once safely
on the other side the little boat sped
down stream at full Speed, swapping
tie wire that stretched across the
boundary and being soon afterwards
run ashore on Dutch territory.
With borrowed plumes restored to
them, the abducted Germans were Civ
en- due directions concerning the way
back to Belgium.

would necessarily come out of the
pockets of the common class of individ-

The Georgia Shippers association is
the only organization fighting the rail-
roads in their proposed scheme for
bigger money. Under the new scale
of rates, farmers would be forced to
pay an increase of 100000 per an

are furnished by the commissioner of
agriculture.
Success of the shippers association
depends upon the support each shup-

America Can Prove War Does Not
NeCeSsitate Business Depression

whole people buy as usual and keep
money in circulation.
America will show the world that q
war built on the principles of right
eousness and freedom need not i'm
poverish the people or stop the
wheels of industry.
America will prove that prosperity
can go hand in hand with war when
waged with clear headed intelligence.
VIII Not Give Up Luxuries.
The American people will continue
to need food and clothing. They will
not give up the luxuries OF life They
will continue to buy motor cars and
stocks. Theaters and baseball and
other amusements will go on. All
these must be supplied, as well as
fighting men, and supplies for the
fighting men.
In doing his bit TO help, every in
divldual should labor, more now than
has been his custom, in every line Of
industrial ondeavor. The greater tax
of labor imposed upon us by the un-
usual conditions of the present hour
necessitates a greater activity and
greater efficiency on the part of every
individual In order TO meet these
extraordinary conditions. Caution is
warranted, but we should buy goods
and lead the lives we have been ac-
customed to. Factories must be kept
going to their fun capacity. Labor
must be kept employed. Our homes
must be kept up. We must cheerfully
pny war duties in addition TO usual
peace duties and expenditures.
In doing our bit, every one of us
should buy up to the limit OF our
ability, to the end that money shall
be kept in circulation.
Let us take as our slogan--and
spread this slogan everywhere, for our
own good, for our country's good, for
the worlds good, Business as usual"

AUTO TRADE IS
NOT HURT BY WAR
Statistics Show Canada Keeps
on Buying More Cars in
Spite Of Participation.

The feeling Of apprehension which
has unconsciously arisen concerning
the manner and extent that general
business, and particularly the automo-
bile and rubber industries, will be
affected by the entrance Of the United
States into the war. Is very ably COM
mented on by Mr.. G. NJ Stadelman,
vice-president of the Goodyear Tire q
Rubber CO., Akron. Ohio.
Mr.. Stadclman has Just returned
from a thOrO canvas of the wars ef-
feet on Canadian business, which he
made I'm the hope that more def
mite idea might be formed of the con-
ditions that our country must face
and conquer in the near future.
Canada Not Hurt.
Canada has gone thru precisely
the same conditions that now CON
front us. so the effect of the war there
ought to be fairly indicative Of what
we may expect here" he declares.
General business conditions are very
satisfactory in Canada at the present
time
81 found that in 1913 Canada had
increased It's number of registered
cars 1880, or 3S per cent. as against
the 1912 registration. and during 1914
22,O7O, or 36 per cent, as compared
TO 1913. War was declared August !, ,
1914 SO that the last figures were
little affected thereby.
Now, after two and one half years
Of warfare, Canada Is this year buy
ing 100000 new motor cars, almost
five times as many as were purchased
daring 1914, and an increase of S5
per cent over the normal increase for
1913 and 1914.
People Economical Too.
Every possible effort has been
made to have Canadians save to help
win the war Ever since war was
declared the people have been impor-
tuned to discourage the spending Of
money for things not absolutely neces-
sary The people are constantly con-
fronted with placards, postcards, let
tiers, blllposters, newspaper articles
and every other publicity device
known to discourage extravaganza.
And when you stop to think that
100000 new cars are being bought in
n country with population Of only
5000, 900. the condition can be ac-
counted for in no other way than that
Canadians do not regard the automo-
bile as luxury. but have found Il
under war conditions a prime neces-
sity. 1t has aided I'm the movement
of troops, facilitated the transporta-
ion of war material, increased the

The worst thing that could happen

business depression In the United
States. With the country unprosper-
Gus, with business dull, money tight,
either thru fear or false economy,

War in itself does not cause busi-
ness depression. Billions of dollars
have been appropriated by congress
for war preparations. This great sum
OF money, put into immediate clrcula-
ton in this country, will create new
wealth for use in the world-struggle

II would be a tremendous error to
halt business now thru an unpatriotic
feeling Of panic and n mistaken idea
of patriotic economy.
Waste Should BE Eliminated.
Patriotic economy calls upon all to
eliminate waste and extravaganza. 1t
demands that we conserve our food

also demands that we guard our
health, our energies, our labor. our

After the disclosures Of the past week
the ready market in southern Vermont
for second hand automobiles is likely to
be turned topsy -turvy. Persons in that
vicinity who have heretofore thought to
get automobiles cheaply from every Tom
Dick or Harry who came along with a
machine are learning to their sorrow that
the title to the machine does not always
rest with the person who offers it for a
reduced price. II seems that southern
Vermont has been made the dumping
ground for automobiles which We're stol-
en- in Massachusetts cities, no less than
a dozen or more machines having been
found in southern Vermont recently and
returned to their owners in Massachu-
sets. The quick purchasers are in fair
way to lose what they put into the bar
gains, as they will continue to do if they
deal with the thieves or the agents of
the thieves who expect to find easy
marks in Vermont. The revelations of
the past week ought to open the eyes of
the public to the unwisdom of dealing
with that sort of people.

The arrival of a Considerable number
of light japanese naval craft" in the
Mediterranean sea means the beginning
of the end of the submarines reign of
terror in those waters. The sending of
this first fotilla of U-boat ehasers un-
doubtedly means that the service which
Japan intends to give has just begun and
that these first boats will be followed
by many more of like nature or even
more formidable The Mediterranean sea
has been hot-bed of illegal submarine
attack for two years, largely because
the efforts to control the menace could
not be concentrated ON any particular
section of the war, as it is possible to do
in the North sea and contiguous waters.
The result has been that ships of all the
entente allies, as well as of neutral ma
tions, have fallen victims to the attacks
of submarines and great losses of life
have been sustained. This is especially
true of transports being sent from Great
Britain and France to war fronts which
could be reached only by ship passage
through the Mediterranean. The appear
ance of japanese war vessels there is
likely to put a considerable check on
those activities of the under-sea boats.
