SEPARATE NOTE FROM BELGIUM
MESSAGE ARRIVES WITH REPLY
OF ALLIES.
Expresses Gratitude to Relief Commits
sion-Contains Assurance of De-
sire for Early End of War.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The transla-
ton of the Belgian note which was
handed to Ambassador Sharp with the
Entente reply in part is as follows:
Tribute to U. S.
THE government of the King, which
has associated itself with the answer
handed by the President of the French
council to the American ambassador
on behalf of all, is particularly desir-
GUS of paying tribute to the sentiment
of humanity which prompted the Pres
ident of the United States to send his
note to the belligerent powers and it
highly esteems the friendship ex-
pressed for Belgium through his kind
ly intermediation. 1t desires as much
present war ended as early as posi-
bic.
Sympathy from Americans.
THE Government of the King is
happy to avail itself of This opportun-
ity to express it's profound gratitude to
the commission for relief as we'll as
to the generous Americans eager to
relieve the misery of the Belgian pop
ulatfon,
U. S. Shows Indignation.
Finally, nowhere more than in the
United States have the abductions and
deportations of Belgian civilians pro-
voked such a spontaneous movement
of protestation and indignant reproof.
These facts, entirely to the honor
of the American nation, allow the Gov
eminent of the King to entertain the
legitimate hope that at the time of |
the definite settlement of this long
war, the voice of the Entente Powers
will find in the United States a unani- |
nous echo to claim in favor of the
Belgian nation, innocent victim of |
German ambition and covetousness,
the rank and the place which its ire
proachable past, the valor of its SOL |
diers, it's fidelity to honor and it's re-
markable faculties for work assign to |
it among the civilized nations"

AND FLAMES WHEN EIGHTY
ACRE MUNITIONS PLANT

SCENE OF. CONFEDERATION
RESEMBLES BATTLE ZONES
Area Is Scared and BIackened Ruin
Plants 1,4o0 Employees Believed
to Have Escaped-citizens of
Village Flee "Under Fire"
Police Hunt Bodies.

Kingsland, N. j., Jan. 13.-Strange
sights greet the eye in the she'll swept
area of this village and it's outlands.
The eighty acre ammunition plant of
the Canadian Car and Foundry COM
pany is a SCARED and blackened ruin,
swept by flames and ploughed by burst
ing shells. Fire that started there late
Thursday still smoldered in spots and
there still were occasional shell explo-
sions, but the firemen who stood at
safe distance watching the explo-
sion of half million three and six
inch shells closed in on the ruins eau
tiously.
No Official Reports of Deaths.
There have been no official reports
of loss of life, and if all the 1,400 EN-
ployees of the plant escaped their safe
ty is due probably to the fact that a
short time interviewed between the dis
covery of the fire and the moment
when the flames reached the stored
ammunition.
Police in high boots searched for
bodies on the Hackensack meadows,
across which many persons fled after
numerous hardships. 1t was consider
ed possible that some of the reported
missing may have drowned in the mea-
dow streams.
w. B. Hardness, superintendent of
the munitions works, said, however, he
believed there was no loss of life.
Loss Exceeds 100000.
The loss, estimated at more than
100000, is accounted for almost en-
tirely by the destruction of shells
which the company loads at this plant
for the Russian government. The rec
tangular enclosure contained between
40 and 80 buildings, but these were of
fiimsy construction, and it is said that
The company intended to abandon them
in a short time when it finished its
present contract.
Men, women and children, weirdly
clad and dragging outlandish bundles,
struggled homeward Friday through
The then intermittent shell fire. Some
Of the courage that gave place to ter
ror as they fled from the whistling
shells into the bitter cold, dark night
lad returned.
They had tasted of the experiences |
If citizens of shell wrecked towns in |
he European war zones.

 EXEMPTION BOARD
 ID OUNTANGLE DAILY

If Solomon the Wise had been called upon to remove all complications that arise in connection with the operation of the cOnscription law he would have foozled many of them and would not have come down into history with such a reputation as he now bears. Every day brings something new to Colonel Breen, disbursing agent.
 From the chairman of the board at Nogales comes something like this: One registrant in that county has a father law on the exemption board. The reglStrant put in a claim for eX- emption on the ground of dependency. The father-in law declined to pass up- on the claim; to take any action what ever regarding it. One member of the board voted to disallow the cla i'm and the third to sustain it. Thus the reg lstrant is suspended between the heav- ems and terra firma; he can neither go to war nor remain at home. What is to be done about it?
 It has been brought to the attention of Colonel Breen that some county at tOrneys have been designated to carry appeals from the local boards. and in that sense are representatives of the government. have been engaged in pre- pairing affidavits for those claiming exemption
 Colonel Breen has therefore ad- dressed a letter to all county attorneys in this state calling attention to such acts by county attorneys, in which he says: "The diScourage cement of eXemp- tion claims except in unusual cases is most desired and since the county now takes an appeal in all cases it would seem apparent that such action, (pre- pairing exemption affidavits) on his part could hardly be construed as ethi cal at least, not desired on the part of the president"

 When your husband first came to me it was for business, or at least that was his excuse. He did all the pur- suing. I thought it was all quite a good joke; in fact it would not have occurred to me to take the situation seriously if, one night at the church. some supper affair, you had not come up to us when we were talking in the most innocent fashion imaginable and rushed him away You did not do it in a courteous manner. I vowed there upon to get even with you for your u4scourtesy and l have Only I have hurt myself in doing so He said you were so madly jealous that you threat ened to commit suicide at the slightest pretext. Rather than have things dis agreeable you would lie. Better to lie little than to be unhappy much It is never the nature of the things which is done that he minds, it's being dis covered by you.
 With me I have always felt that our only sin was the underhandedness of it all l hate to tell you how much your husband has cared for me. That he gives me presents indicates nothing There has not been a day for three years when, if he were not angry he had not called me up by phone. Every Sunday morning at 10:30 he has talked to me until he must have been chron- ically late to church.
 You have never gone out in the evening but what he has rushed over to his machine to he out with me Last winter when you insisted on accompanying him to the stock show he tried to get you to go home by Friday.

Now that I have had to suffer l am going to insist that he tell her how matters stand-that he be honest with her. If he will not if he is still afraid, he will have to be afraid of me this time. I am not the type of woman to be lied to. We have cared as much for one another as man and woman can. The only treason has been in not telling Mrs. Roberts. I have always wanted to, but he was afraid, An, well. 1t will soon be over. I am not afraid l have always made my work my re- ligion-labOre est crate. I hope dear father doesn't take this too hard.
