HOW LIBERTY BOND
MONEY WILL BE SPENT

The money derived from the sale
of Liberty bonds will be used to
equip our men so that IL can be
fought to a successful finish. Eight
billion one hundred million dollars
will be expended upon our splendid
armies: one billion five hundred
million will be expended upon our
navy for additional craft to sail
the prohibited waters in which the
kaiser's undersea assassins operate;
seven hundred and fifty million dol

merchant marine, to protect the
line of communication between
France and America so that our
gallant soldiers may never have
their base of supplies imperiled,
and also to carry the commerce of
America. in defiance of the German
kaiser These are some of the uses
to which these moneys are to be
put. and having provided these
funds and equipped our gallant

anemic peace advocates who mop
portunely talk of peace at this
time, when there can be no peace

peace which would only postpone

Germany Agrees to
Euacuate Belgium
But o., Condition,
London. Sept. 26.-.

London, Sept. 26.--Germany has
agreed to evacuate Belgium on certain
conditions, it is declared in German
official statement, according to dis
patch from Berne today, given out by
the Wireless Press.
Germany, it is stipulated, must have
the right to develop her economic en-
.terprises freely in Belgium, especially
in Antwerp.
The proposal was made in a supple
mentary note to the vatican, replying
to the peace initiative Of Pope Bene-
dict.
It was in the form Of verbal COM
munication made by Foreign Secretary
Kuehlmann to the papal nuncio at
Munich, wherein the foreign secretary
specified the conditions under which
Germany was willing to conclude peace
on the basis OF the evacuation of Rel
GUM.
The verbal note to the papal nuncio
said Germany would contribute a
share of the compensation to be paid
to Belgium for war damages. and Bel
gium would be required, 1t is said. to
give a guarantee that any such menace
as that which threatened Germany In
1914 would in future be excluded.
Belgium must undertake to maintain
administrative separation OF the Flan-
ders and Walloon districts introduced
by Germany, the verbal note saws, be-
cause this separation corresponds to
the wishes Of majority OF the Belgian
people and because Germany desires
such separatin. o. eesaouns of racial
sympathy.

German Prisoners
In Daring Escape
From British Camp

London, Sept. 26.--One of the most
daring escapes from internment camps
was effected yesterday at Kegworth,
Nottingham. Twenty-Five German
prisoners including Captain Muller,
who commanded the cruiser Emden.
and Lieut.. Otto Thelan, disappeared
thru tunnel extending from a hut in
the camp to point outside the barb
ed wire fence. How the tunnel was
dug Is a mystery. Nine Of the prison
ers were. recaptured, including Captain
Muller and Lieutenant Thelan. The
latter made three previous escapes.
With LieW. Emil Tehmand, another
of the recaptured prisoners, he fled
from the detention camp barracks at
Chelmsford last May. The Germans
made dummy locks Of cardboard. sub
stituting them for the locks on cell
doors. Dummy figures to. deceive the
sentry were made from bedclothes and
some of their own garments. To make
these figures the more realistic they
were decorated with shocks Of hair
from their mattresses.

TO ASK CHURCHES

Urges General Conference Of Unitarian

Montreal, Sept. 26-William Howard
Taft today asked the general confer
ence OF Unitarian and other Christian
churches meeting here to adopt q
strong resolution, expressing approval
Of the war policies Of President Wilson
and congress. The duty Of churchmen
first is to aid their government in
the movements necessary to win the
war, said Mr.. Taft, who is president Of
the conference.
Mr.. Taft said men and women dur
Ing this war were turning to the
churches with greater fervor than for
many decades.
"The war has disciplined men and
brought them to clearer sense Of
their responsibilities" he asserted. 1T
has given them clearer perception Of
the yanities and luxuries and nippant
frivolities which wealth and prosperity
had greatly encouraged among them.
It has startled the peoples Of the world
into a more elemental view Of their
relations to life and God. Differences
in creed have been forgotten and the

Large Contingent of Artil-

where in England.

Recent Arrivals Recruited Largely from
Forces Formerly Engaged in Coast

Men-Receivins Instructions from
British Men Experienced at Front
Bit Of U. S. in Heart Of England.

Correspondence Of Associated Press.]
Somewhere in England, Sept. o.
Several thousand American artillery
men who soon will be handling heavy
guns in France are encamped here for
drills and training after several weeks
iaboard ship on the journey over seas.
The men belong to the regular forces
of the United States army and are
officered largely by West Point grad
yates. British officers who have in
spected the men pronounce them to be
among the finest troops ever seen in
England
The camp is located in one of the
many valleys found in the rolling
surface of this section Of England on
Ia site once occupied by Canadian
troops. Heather covered hills form a
background for the sea Of tents and
on either side men Of the royal army
are being trained.
Learn by Using Eyes.
1t is from these camps that the
Americans get their first lessons in
handling the, "heavies on wheels by
simply looking on. These Americans
know all about big guns, for large
number Of them were drafted from the
coast defense forces of the American
army. But they have much to learn
about big guns that are mobile. The
particular thing they are interested in
Just now is the fine art Of hauling a
heavy. field piece out Of a hole-for
the skill and speedy accomplishment of
such feat is truly a fine art.
The English instructors of artillery
recruits have a deep hole dug for the
special purpose. They wheel big gun
and its carriage up and push it in.
Then it is up to the recruits to haul
it out, with the assistance Of variety
of levers and a mass Of tackle and
|gear. Sometimes the student artiller-
lists get the weapon out in few min
utes-if they are lucky. Other times,
however, it is an operation that may
require the better part Of an after
noon.
When the Americans have played
audience long enough they themselves
will start holing and unholing the field
piece.
Meanwhile they are spending spare
moments learning the proper way to
adjust gas mask and are being given
an opportunity to take q little smell
of the different kinds Of gases to be
encountered across the channel.
This camp Is a bit Of the United
States in the heart Of England. When
off duty the hills abound with Amer
leans and the latest rag time is ham,
mered out on the pianos in the Y. M.
G. A. tents near by.
